Ravi made his way down the street, soon coming the the main courtyard which was filled with people that were still there, talking among themselves at the ceremony which was technically over, but everyone knew people would talk for at least another hour or so. He glanced around for a long moment before heading to the main building, excusing himself from the crowd. (That was why I was leaving it up to you to decide. Since he basically has a reason to choose anyone except the twins xD )

(Here, I'm just going to assume this is where Ravi is a'headin'. Correct me if I'm wrong. XD) Benella's closed lids snapped open when there was a rather abrupt knock to the door.  Taking a moment to regain her composure, she called out a quick, "I'll be there shortly," before tidying up the area in a few quick motions.  She dusted herself off and turned on her heal, striding over to the door and pulling it open, "Oh, hello, Master Ravi." Vot paused breifly outside of the chosen person's room, wearing his signature smirk.  He was sure that she would decline his decision after announcement, but he knew Knote would have no choice once he told her Ravi had sent him on the mission.  Besides, he figured she would like to see the Master of Archives, the thought prompting him to tap lightly on the door.

---

Ravi gave a small smile as he looked back at the other master, " Hello Master Benella, I hope I'm not intruding. I wasn't able to get to the ceremony and you were the only other master I could think of that might actually enjoy my company enough to tell me how it went." he said. Knote opened the door slightly, glancing out for a moment. " What is it?" she asked, looking at the man in front of her for a moment, waiting for his answer. She hadn't said much to anyone since she had gotten back, not really in the mood for talking.

---

Benella gave a light smile and stepped aside to allow the other in.  She closed the door and spoke, "Yes, well," she paused, "it was... well, it was what you would expect from a burial cermony.  Tyus' speech went well, and tears were shed.  I might as well have been a stranger in the crowd for all that I contributed."  She joined Ravi on the other side of the room, "If I may ask, why didn't you show?" Vot smiled at the woman, "Why, I need your assistance," he began camly, as if he were dicussing the weather, "in kidnapping the Master of Archives.  I heard you two were on... friendly terms," he stated, leaning on the doorframe.

---

Ravi listened to the other master talk until she asked the last question, " To be completely honest, I don't do to well with burial ceremonies. I've seen enough already back at my home to know nothing new comes from them...at least from my view..." he said, thoughtful. He was telling the truth of course, his job as a prince was to see to any ceremony that involved a person of noble blood, which was usually almost more than once a month. "No. Ask someone else." Knote said, " Why would you get an idea like that anyways?" she asked, looking at him from where her hood covered her face. (wb-ish)

---

Benella nodded slowly, before tentatively placing a hand on his shoulder, "It's fine, I just didn't expect your absence," she stated, glancing out over the grounds.  (WB T_T) "It's not my idea," Vot answered, "Ravi sent me, told me to pick anyone I wanted.  I figured you and I had some things to discuss," he stared into the shadow that her hood casted with a smile, "Either way, you have no choice in whether or not you want to go."

---

Ravi looked over at the other master, giving a small smile. " Well, at least we  know the ones that were lost can at least rest in peace now." he said softly, glancing at the desk beside him for a moment, many different papers on it, though one in particular catching his eye. Knote cursed under her breath, opening the door the rest of the way. " Fine, lets go then." she muttered, closing the bedroom door behind her as she walks out, glancing at Vot for a  moment, wondering about what it was he thought they had to discuss.

bump~

Benella nodded slowly, watching the people mill around below on the campus before she caught Ravi looking at the small enveloped letter.  "Something on your mind, Master Ravi?" she questioned, watching his face.  (Gah, WB, and this is the letter from Knote, correct?) (grrah, wb.  Continue?)

---

Ravi glanced up from where he was looking at the letter, looking at the other master, " No, its nothing, just thinking about someone." he said. His eyes darted back to the letter for a moment before around the room. He could tell what the seal was, it was from the prince neighboring his own land. Knote made her way out of the house, not bother waiting for Vot to catch up as she continued walking, only slowing down slightly once they had started to walk a while.
