"'They were soft, and had these dashes pf pure gold I'm them that looked like you had flown to the sun and stolen parts of it's magic." Karina offered him a mischievous grin. "Youe personality feathers, however; are very easy to ruffle. It doesn't- it didn't- take much."

“I’ll have you know I’ve grown a lot as a person since the last time you ruffled my feathers. I won’t allow it to happen again.”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 0:53

"That sounds like a challenge."

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 1:01

“A challenge has a prize.”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 1:03

"What is my prize for proving I can ruffle your feathers?"

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 1:06

“What prize do you want Karina?” Lucian asked with a raised brow as he took his glass and sipped from it.

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 1:13

"You will owe me..." Karina hummed, pausing to take a sip of her drink before shrugging. "Eight hours. Eight hours of your time, I decide what you do with it."

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 1:15

“If that’s what you want.”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 1:22

"What do you need to do, to earn a reward from me?"

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 1:28

“I don’t want a reward from you, Karina. Don’t worry.” Lucian finished the rest of his drink and poured another, quickly draining that too.

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 1:34

"You need something from someone, you are drinking faster than me and I am a second time widow."

(( Night night))

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 1:38

“What is it I think you want? Need? From who? Oh wise Seer, teller of all?”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 12:07

Karina grabbed a cushion from the sofa beside her and launched it at his head. "Challenges are no fun if the rewards are one way."

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 12:10

“You’re the one acting all prophetic telling me that you know what I need and who I need it from. So give me it. That’ll be my reward.” Lucian shrugged, dodging the pillow with a quick lean to the side.

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 12:37

"Fine," Karina retorted lightly, sleuthing over to pry the bottle from his fingers so she could pour herself another drink. "Have you been to Dreake? I have seen portraits of the place, it looks beautiful but I have no idea how their sewage system works. A floating city sounds like a logistical nightmare."

Lucian headed back to his wardrobe and opened it up again, leaning up to look at the shelf at the top. A few moments later grabbing a small wooden box and pulling it down before opening it up and handing it to Karina. The contents inside being various items of jewellery. All silver with either green or blue jewels. “The Crown Prince loves to gamble but is terrible at it… about we terrible as he is in bed too according to the Urchin.” He snorted.

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 12:56

"He has a very specific colour scheme, clearly." Karina laughed, reaching into the box to inspect the items. Head cooking to the side as she lifted up a long necklace, the jewel pendant being carved into into the heads of a hydra. "Beautiful. Does your crew mate just go from country to country sleeping with it's royal family?"

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 13:00

“We all do.” Lucian snorted. “Why not sample what the world has to offer?” He asked as he gently took the necklace from her and rested it on her chest before moving to stand behind her and fasten it. “Their crest is in blue and green, and only the royal family are permitted to wear certain shades of blue. Denotes status…”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 13:21

"Careful," Karina warned softly, lifting her hand to raise the chain that held Emmett's ring - preventing the two items from touching. "Do they worship that?" She tilted her head towards Hydra.

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 13:58

“I wouldn’t say worship… it’s part of their legends. The symbol of the Royal house. I imagine his father wasn’t too impressed he lost it.”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 14:14

"Do you have a favourite? Royal family...? Country? Culture?"

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 14:22

“Do you think Conan will have me executed for treason if I said not this one?” Lucian laughed, moving away from behind her to grab his drink once more.

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 14:41

"I don't think that is a big of a secret as you think it is. Even all those years ago you had itchy feet to leave." Karina chuckled, moving to one of the full length mirrors to admire the necklace.

Phoenix Sun 9 Jul - 14:51

“Mm, we made plans to see things.”

**BestNameEva** Sun 9 Jul - 15:07

"So many plans, I wrote then all down - do you remember? In that notebook with the pink leather. I haven't seen it sin- Oh. Yes, I know where it is." Karina grinned. "I still have it."
