"Tsk tell them of my background maybe I'll threaten to burn this tree of theirs to the ground too if they try a damned cell.." Though he knew that bringing up blood lines was a risky thing and right now he had no backing of a city either so to do that would be foolish anyway. More or less it was just trying to get ideas out and none of them seemed to be worth while.

Oh for the love of... he swore in his mind at the mention of their race. Least they could let Neimi go about whatever she wanted she was a mere human girl. Granted he knew she was safer in here then to just be walking about anyway. Though he bite his tongue from saying what eh though of Wood Elves about this moment. Saying anything would not make things any better. Aside form that if they had wanted to cause trouble then it would have happened already, seeing as they seemed to think they knew Drows well enough.

Once Mizuki left the room Thalion huffed a little having held his tongue for that long without giving anyone a part of his thoughts was hard to do. "Tsk the lot of them damned daft in the brains!" He finally said before Neimi laughed a little. "its true and you know it." He said folding his arms. If they were going to cause trouble they would have a army hidden somewhere and in wait for nightfall. Holding them here would solve nothing.

"Tsk I half want to go fix the issue in our own city just to come back here for a peace talk and wipe the damned grin off their faces..." Though he wasn't being serious in that but it did amuse him none the less. Though he still wanted nothing better then just to punch that one mage. That alone would make his week a hell of a lot better but that would have to wait.

The next day seemed to finally come, of course without much sleep as guards kept making sure they were still in the room... like they had gone somewhere. There was no windows and unless they blasted through the wall it wasn't like they could walk through a door. Though the next day also brought Mizuki and his 'orders' so to speak of how he was getting them out of this room.

Well being a guard was a upgrade from room captive at the least though not under terms he would have liked. Neimi was the main one seeming thrilled about this. Though why not she practiced daily to get better but you could only do so much. Damien never really displayed many emotions at all unless times called for it so it was hard to tell if he was pleased with this or annoyed.

Thalion was another story. The idea of training smiting was fine, the fire magic could go somewhere for various reasons. One Damien almost caught himself on mentioning but seemed to stop right before speaking. He wanted to fight this tooth and nail but he'd have to do this to get out of here and making things harder on Mizuki wouldn't help them in the least. So after a moment he finally spoke. "Fine.. " Though as far as smithing went he might end up teaching this one a thing or two. They might have the better smiths but so far he hadn't heard of many being able to craft armor useful against magic.

Maybe swapping information would distract him from actually teaching much on the fire magic. The last thing he really wanted out was the fact that he barely had control on it. Plus if they did a bit of digging there was only one family that had true fire magic in the Drows anymore. Thats what worried him the most, though they seemed too busy with Mizuki to look into that thankfully.

Free time was almost unheard of after that day. It probably was driving Damien nuts to have Thalion out of his sights for nearly a full day at a time. Though what was bugging Thalion was he never got to see Mizuki at all. The other seemed to just up and vanish. Sure he knew he had training but still... To go from everyday being with him to this.. and this was just a taste of what was to come if the wedding took place.

It had been a few weeks into the training, Mizuki did manage to get word to the group that the wedding was to be in a month and a half from now. They were running out of time and had no free time to really look into things. Though for the moment Thalion had a small break. Apparently something came up so Demeatry was busy for a few hours. That was fine by him. It was a welcome break and he feared sooner or later someone was going to find out his little secret he was holding onto. If things were hectic right now it might already be out.

Heck by this point he almost wanted to say he missed having Damien around. Though the older knight was annoying at times least he listened and gave feedback. Thalion had ended up walking down to were a small pool of water was collected in the center of a slightly overgrown grove. Getting back ought to be fun he got lost in this place almost commonly still.

sitting by it he was glad this seemed to be a section no one else was in or not many passed by as he leaned forward resting his head on his arms that were on his knees. "Ugh.. what the hell do I do?" He finally said aloud just to kill some of the frustration that he had. Though he wasn't expecting a answer.. but he was going to get one.

"Giving up then?" Someone asked as Thalion's ears twitched at the voice and he jumped up with a blade in his hand already. "You.... wha.. -" He started to try to explain this before the figure answered him. Oh this would look odd though he had no idea the properties of certain locations area this area. This was one of the forgotten spirit pools, there was a larger one in the main square of the town so this ones upkeep fell behind.

"Too many questions and you can't get them out? Sounds about like you." The figure spoke again standing just as he would have been if he were still alive. Before any of the events that took place. "To answer you no I'm not alive but I've been waiting to contact you for some time. Your still as slow as ever as well." Spoke Zeffren, also known as the former King of the Drow or another title was one of the most feared fire mages known to live. Least during his life. The wood elves held the most powerful for quite a few fields of magic but the Drow held it for other more darker forces.
