His ears dropped back a little hearing Mizuki say he didn't know what to do. Hell he didn't either to be honest with himself. He wanted to say everything would be fine or things would work out but nothing that he thought of would make them work out. He hated this... he held no power here, hell he had no real power anywhere. But here least of any place.
"Don't... I knew something was wrong I was foolish to think otherwise" He said growling at the thought of that damned mage that brought them here. "We'll figure something out I promise." Neimi had moved a little before she spoke up. "There isn't a loop hole in the system? There has to be at least one." Though not any she could think of.
"tsk I swear if I see that damned mage I'll ..." He sighed before finishing that knowing it wouldn't help anything. "We're not leaving you here. And you're not getting married... I don't know how we'll pull that off just yet but damn it just trust me when I say its not happening." He wasn't going to lose the one person he cared about... not here. Not when things were starting to work out.
"What now mi'lords?" Damien questioned to break the sudden silence. "Tsk... We're stuck until we figure something out that's what." Thalion hissed a little at the thought that they may have no say in this. "Not unless you have any bright ideas or hell at this rate I'd settle for a fix it spell." Though that was an impossible thought. A so called spell would have to switch race and gender for it to even be close to an idea. Even then it wouldn't probably count towards anything.
What kind of kingdom had no heirs anyway. As far as he knew the wood elf rulers had not changed in quite sometime. Plenty to plan a child or some other plan to have a trained ruler. "Heh just think if you had stayed with the human king you wouldn't have to go through this." Though at the same time they wouldn't be together either.
They needed a plan, either some way of keeping Mizuki from that woman he was to marry or some means to sneak him out of the city. Granted right now all he wanted to do was track down Destro and give him a damned beating he wouldn't soon forget. But that meant he'd have to leave Mizuki and he didn't want to right this moment.
After a little longer Thalion sighed finally knowing that they were going to be stuck here. "If you're going to be their next king maybe you should start by speaking up now as far as keeping your companions locked in a room like convicts." He had a good point really. Though he doubted that Mizuki had any say in that or that they would take his word for anything until after the.. He didn't want to say wedding because then that means he had lost Mizuki.
"Do we even know when they plan this little joining that they every so kindly forgot to mention to you?" Maybe if they had a few days... maybe they could come up with a plan of some kind. Though if they planned to do things right away it could be today or tomorrow. That wouldn't really allow much time for any plan at all. "Ugh.. and you wonder why I don't want to rule Damien? Well here is a damned good example of why." Damien took the point Thalion was trying to get across though each race was different in what you needed in order to rule. Drow were based off of who was the strongest really.
"If we have a few days mi'lord maybe we can get further information on this." "Yeah .. and how do you propose we go about that when they are watching our every move and don't let us out of this room?" Though he knew where that was going as Damien smiled a bit at Thalion's question. "I hate you at times.. no I take that back. All the time." It was a idea, right now they were being treated as commoners and even if Mizuki had no say in how things went they could hardly just hold captive another royal line without risking a fight of some kind.
Though this being said Thalion was hopeful that Mizuki could just get them some freedom to get out of this room instead of him having to go that route of pulling his bloodline into this mess. He could see that going one of two ways. One they stopped treating them like criminals, or the other they'd end up in a holding cell instead of just a guarded room. Either way any plans like this were kept to lower voice tones to keep from the guards being able to pass on any information.
Though the planning of what or how much time they might have came to a end when the doors opened again. Just to save any further trouble for now Thalion briefly kissed Mizuki before stepping back a bit so by the time the heavy doors were fully open it looked like the small group had been just standing there. Though there was a slight hint of pain hidden on Thalion's face. To think that they could lose this time, that might be the last kiss he ever gets to give the other or something... He didn't want to think that way but it could very well be true.
Aside from sneaking Mizuki out of here what could they really do? Even if Mizuki said no something told him that they would just force it somehow. That or if they were really desperate they'd take them hostage just to ensure that he agreed to whatever they said. Ok maybe not that far these were Wood Elves they were dealing with and not Drow. Though they could be underhanded in things as well... Any way around this would require some way for the marriage to be void. Though there weren't too many ways that could happen.
