Alton knew the bird would not return for at least a few days. The one he had told it to go seek out was very good at keeping his whereabouts hidden. this was not always a good thing, but it did mean that this master of elixirs was probably safe from the Queen. Or rather if Alton had any luck in delaying this curse from killing him too soon then this person he sought was still somewhere safe. The bird knew what message Alton needed to pass onto the person and what it was expected to bring back as well.

If Alton had known Emily's parents were here in the graveyard he would have gone with her. Not really as support but to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the poor girl in her weaker moments. He knew she was going through a lot and there was a number of things she still didn't remember. Felix hardly helped matters with forcing her to remember a few things from her past that she should have recalled over time.

A faint mist rolled around Emily's feet as she seemed to pay it no mind. The guards didn't notice the white mist rolling over the cool ground. But everything in the area was silent so suddenly... if Emily wasn't in such a state she might have noticed the strange aura about the area. The smell of death began to rise and drift throughout the graveyard. The aura surrounding this mist and sudden change in the area was one Alton was familiar with.

He had planned to stay to himself to prevent Emily from becoming concerned about why he couldn't use his arm or why he seemed to be in more pain then before. But this was not at all possible now as he stood suddenly as his ears dropped at the aura that presented itself out of the blue. This was not good at all, this was the last aura he wanted to feel in this area. Even with protection and barriers there was no preventing certain magics...

Emily was in danger and he knew this. The last fee run ins they had were not the Queen's men. But this pawn would be one. It would be one he did not wish to deal with at the present time in this condition. It was a huge risk, but to leave Emily on her own he feared that she would not be well enough protected where ever she was.
