Horatio sat in Iolite's lounge room, cradling his bloody arm. "You could have stopped when you broke his arm." Iolite told him disapprovingly as she handed him a warm soothing soup. "Please," Horatio said. "He was a fool, he deserved a bit more than a broken arm."

Lolite sighed and frowned and looked towards her friend Tibit shaking her head. She quickly looked back at Horatio struggling to keep his bleeding undercontrole "i tell you, your as bad as Tristan." Tristan smiled at his name and looked over the edge of his bowl, Lolite shook her head again and picked up her sponge and started to clean Hpratios arm. "ah stop it." he whinned, Lolite sighed and took his soup away, he reached over for it and Lolite hit his arm, then grabbed it starting to clean is wounds again, he pouted but smiled alittle.

Tibit smiled at the bickering couple. Their personalities were very similar and she couldn't help but think they were well suited for each other. "So is poor Laertes lying in a bloody river yet, Horatio?" Tristan asked. "No. I'm afraid I took pity on him at the last minute. That's how I achieved this wonderful wound." said Horatio, holding up his arm and smirking. Tristan shook his head, grinning. "Coward."

Lolite hide her smile at Tristans comment and pulled Horatio's arm back to her, "stay still you squirming elf." she cleaned the sponge and got some bandages out the gently rapped up his wounds.

"You know, for an elf, your hands aren't really that gentle." Horatio risked, wincing as the cool cloth dabbed his bloody forehead, much too hard for his liking. "You know, for an elf, you seem to dislike scratches much more than anyone else." Iolite bit back quickly. The rest of the company laughed, Horatio blushed. "Now, now Iolite," said Tibit disapprovingly. "he was just in a dangerous fight and could very well have died." "Well it just proves that he is very foolish." replied Iolite. "Don't you mean brave?" asked Horatio hopefully.

Lolite looked at him raising an eyebrow, she went to say something but bit her tounge, the thought of loosing Horatio hurt more then she wanted to, especially since they had been dating for 17 years and for Eleves that was about moderate. She quickly looked away and placed the remaning bandage onto the table, she tried to hide her feelings and normally she was very good at it, but her hands where shaking rather badly.

Tristan, sitting closest to the table, was able to see just how much Horatio meant to Iolite and he knew Iolite wouldn't want him mentioning it. So he changed the subject. "Horatio, once you've rested a bit, maybe we should see how Laertes is doing." he said. "It's always a good idea to see how your enemies are doing." Iolite smiled at him appreciatively and Tristan saw her lips tremor slightly. He tried to hold her gaze but wasn't able to. He looked down at his cooling soup and swallowed hard. "Definitely." Horatio said, not noticing what had just happened between the friends.

Iolite smiled and looked away then handed Horatio his soup, she had managed to get her hands under some controle "well... try not to get into another blood bath will you." she said looking at Horatio and then sat next to him holding the necklace her twin brother had given her many years ago. she looked at Tibit and poked her tounge out a little, going crossed eyed. she hadn't noticed Horatio hand placed his soup back down and when he placed his arms around her she got a little spooked. He smiled and kissed her neck pulling her to him, Iolite laughed and held his hands as he hugged her and as he kissed her neck and left shoulder. just then Iolite Twin brother Flint walked into the room.

He stopped dead when he saw what his sister was doing and cleared his throat loudly. He gaped at Tristan and Tibit, both of whom had looked away. Tristan had continued contemplating his soup moodily with a sthingy and Tibit had suddenly become engrossed with her rather dirty nails. iolite and Horatio broke apart quickly and moved away from each other. "Iolite, don't you think it's impolite to be kissing like that when you have guests?" he asked angrily. Iolite didn't reply but looked angrily at her feet, not quite managing to speak yet. Tibit thought she'd help out. "You know it wouldn't normally happen, Flint." she said. "But Horatio just got out of a rather nasty fight with Laertes and barely escaped with his life."

Flint raised an eyebrow and Tibit and then looked at Horatio "and what may i ask where you thinking?" Horatio looked away but stayed still, Iolite got up and walked over to her brother "lighten up Flint.." she walked into the hallway and and Flint followed closing the big doors, "you and Sophine do it all the time... and as i recall im the older one." Flint went to say something "look i know you care about me... but it was just a kiss on the shoulder and a hug." Iolite knew it was more but she hoped Flint would buy it

"Fair enough." Flint said finally. "I'm sorry. I know it must have scared you. He looks pretty badly beaten up." Iolite felt another rush of tears and fought furiously to keep it back and instead hugged her brother tightly. "How did it happen?" he asked as they pulled away and Iolite wiped away a tear that had fallen down her cheek. "He was walking back from the forest alone after a hunt and... I'm not sure. He said Laertes just appeared from behind a tree with a sword and attacked him. Tibit found them not long afterwards both badly hurt. She knocked Laertes out with a spell and brought Horatio back here." she told him. "What was he doing walking in the forest alone? He knows that is a bad idea." Flint asked angrily. He felt Horatio deserved what he got for frightening his sister like this.

Elena gave a small laugh and shrugged a shoulder, she wasn't sure why he had been walking alone. she smiled at him and he nodded then headed off, Iolite smiled and walked back into the room opening the big doors. "all taken care off?" Tibit asked. Iolite rolled her eyes "in some ways yes.... you know how he is all...la la la." she giggled and sat back down next to Horatio who went back to hugging her "Sorry." he whispered into her ear resting his head on her shoulder.

Iolite didn't answer but she put a comforting arm around his shoulder. Iolite felt like she coulld stay there forever. But then Tristan and Tibit, who obviously weren't enjoying the romance, interrupted. "Iolite, we should probably get back to the castle soon, it's getting dark." Tristan said. "Yes and I need to come with you. It's too late to get back to my house now." Tibit added. "I'm not going back to the castle," Iolite said. "I'm going after Laertes." "No you're not!" said all three at once. "Oh yes I am." said Iolite. She wasn't going to change her mind. "Laertes and his gang has caused enough trouble. It's time we stop him once and for all."

Horatio held onto her more tightly trying to stop her from getting up, which worked "Tibit" she looked at her for some help, "look you two guys go back to the castle, me and Tibit will go, right Tibit?" Tibit smiled and nodded then quickly the two guys got up "ok but be carefull." and they walked off. iolite laughed and walked over to Tibit "that was soo good girl, you are going to have to teach me that, but when we do get back to the castle and they realise what happened they will be pissed off."

"Oh what are they going to do? Ground me?" Iolite said happily as both elves smiled vaguely at her, waved and departed out the front door. Tibit's grin widened. "Well we better make this quick anyway. We don't want to stay out in the forest too like after nightfall no matter HOW amazing your magical abilities might be." "You're right." said Iolite and she clicked her fingers and summoned two prepackaged leather bags full of provisions.
