Adara looked over "I don't mind" she said with a smile "I had no plans for the afternoon anyways. " she was still wearing her training clothes but didn't seem to feel the need to change
Eleanor smiled slightly "I never thought you were that intimidating. Adara... She's beautiful, confident, strong, skilled at fighting.... It's intimidating to a woman " she said softly "especially if you don't feel very confident in yourself"

Dyten shrugged, not really seeing it, but then as she said, it was that way to another woman. Dyten didn't see it partly because he was used to it as well. Dyten glanced around, raising a brow at a few of the shopkeepers that looked on in surprise that he was following another female around that wasn't Adara.
Ivan smiled and bowed his head. "Lead the way then, m'lady." He looked towards his two silent protectors. "You two planning to follow?"
"Your father told us to keep close." Esmond responded.
Ivan sighed. "Alright." He said with a shake of his head.

"No. That doesn't stand with me" Adara said looking at them "not the you staying near but you aren't allowed to follow him. You can join us. " she smiled "so let me directly introduce myself. I'm Adara. And you two are...?"
Eleanor stopped and purchased some strawberries from a street vendor and looked over at Dyten "would you like some?" She asked seeming to not notice the stares. Not watching where she was walking she bumped into a man walking by who caught her before she could fall
"I am so sorry my lady" the man apologized bowing his head
"Oh no. It's alright" she smiled "I want watching where I was going"
The man smiled at her "it was completely my fault please accept my apology" he said putting his hands on her shoulders
Eleanor smiled and nodded "very well" she said softly not wanting to argue over who was at fault
The man smiled and bowed his head again before moving off, his hand subtly moving and snatching her coin purse, without her noticing,as he left

Esmond and Armond looked between each other briefly before turning towards Adara. "I am Esmond." he said, removing his helmet to reveal auburn colored hair and forest green eyes. "This is my twin brother Armond." He introduced his twin who also removed his helmet. He had the exact opposite of green hair and almond colored eyes, a trait known only in Haven. "And we would be happy to join you two." Edmond stated.
Dyten noticed the movement and turned, his eyes bleeding red. Shadow's swarmed out after the man quickly, moving to bind him up as Dyten's wings ripped from his back, tearing his shirt as they did so. He narrowed his eyes and moved towards the man, not concerned about him getting away with the shadows twisting around him. "Fool." He muttered.

"Good" Adara smiled "I don't know how you guys do it where you live, but i spend more time with the soldiers than i do with nobility so i don't want any awkwardness or titles." she smiled "Well gentlemen, please follow me and I'll give you the general tour"
Eleanor jumped surprised and shocked turning. When she noticed her coin purse in the man's hand she gasped "My purse" she said grabbing it back from the man's bound hands "I...didn't even notice" she said, looking over at Dyten
The soldier Addison was heading back out on his patrol when he saw the commotion and ran over
"You and the princess both" he said, moving to bind the man's hands with rope so Dyten could release his shadows "You two can't even go out into town without trouble. you catch a pickpocket, Princess Adara tackles a bandits in the woods...."

Dyten frowned. "What?" He said as he released the shadows, his eyes slowly bleeding back to normal. "Where is Adara?" He asked, frowning when he heard that Adara had been in a situation where he wasn't there to help.
Ivan smirked. "I prefer to spend my time in town, but being the crowned prince and considering some of the dangers, these two are usually shadowing me everywhere I go under my father's orders. Two attempted assassinations I guess tends to put him on edge, even though i handled both of them. I am faster then most." He said with a smirk. "Benefit of being a red falcon I guess."

Adara smiled "I've never met a red falcon before" she said looking at him "Too bad your reflexes aren;t better, or you could have dodged the arrow yourself with me having to tackle you" she teased lightly "Then again, i also have an advantage, since I'm a Mind Reader" she shrugged casually looking back ahead
"I'm not sure. I escorted the arrested man to the castle dungeons. I think she went back to the castle with the three strange looking guys" Addison shrugged, dragging the pickpocket towards the castle

Ivan laughed softly. "Every falcon has some weakness." He responded. "For Black Falcons their weakness is the light, or white falcons. White Falcons have a weakness against darkness, aka black falcons." He shrugged. "I am not as skilled in combat as I perhaps should be. As a result, my reaction to situations like how we met are poor."
Esmond smiled slightly. "Hense why the guard has suggested many times to your father that you should train with us. Would prove well for you anyways, as you will know what we go through on a daily basis." He responded.
Armond nodded once. "Perhaps that is why princess Adara would be one that soldiers would be willing to follow. She knows what they go through and she knows the choices they are faced with. It makes her more likely to make choices based on that. Because she has that understanding."

"Well what's the use of being a red falcon if you can;t use the powers?" Adara asked looking at Ivan. She smiled a little when Armond made the comment about her "Well the soldiers have more reason than that. I am also their friend, and two of the officers are dear friends of mine so it's a little bit all around for them" she looked back at Ivan "I would be happy to help you learn a little. It is much the same with my mind reading. Knowing what someone is about to do doesn't help if i can't react to it accurately and quickly, so it is much the same" she commented
Eleanor looked over at Dyten and then put a gently hand on his arm "Perhaps we should head back towards the castle?" she suggested, figuring Dyten wanted to check on Adara

Ivan laughed softly before glancing towards Armond. "And the silent one speaks." He muttered with a smirk towards his friend. He then looked towards Adara as she led them along.
Dyten nodded once. "It would be best to do so." He responded, knowing that he couldn't leave here there alone but not wanting to stay back without knowing what happened to Adara and who the strange guests were.

"I have that affect on people" Adara smirked befoe continuing along.
When Dyten and Eleanor got back Adara was just stepping out onto the wall with the guests. Seeing him she smirked and looked at the guests "I'll be right back" she said, before jumping down from the wall, gripping the side to slow her decent then jogged over to Dyten "Hey, Dy" she said smiling. She nodded in acknowledgement to Eleanor but looked at Dyten still "There's some people i want to introduce you too. A red falcon, if you can believe it"

Dyten relaxed once he saw Adara. "Addison said you dealt with a bandit and met three people." He stated, raising a brow. When she responded about a red falcon, Dyten frowned slightly. "Alright." He said, but the frown soon disappeared when he saw who it was. "Prince Ivan McVain." He said, bowing fluently. When he stood he looked towards the two guards then back at Ivan.
"How do you know me?" Ivan asked, raising a brow.
"My father was a soldier in Elendron when the war started. He died taking a hit for your father. I know about you because of the day I found out how my father died. The mark on your face gave it away."
"Ahh...yes, the mark of the royal family. I owe you a great debt as does my father then." Ivan looked towards Adara and smiled. "I guess all the stories were not true. We had always heard that you were related to both the white and black falcon that lived here. Not just the white falcon." He stated.
Dyten glanced towards Adara.
"Should alway's believe all of the stories. They also stated that the black falcon was a stuck up snob." Esmond stated. "And that he was a always quiet and tended to chase others off instead of getting to know them."

"I am related to both." Adara said looking at Ivan "My brother Torrent is a white Falcon, and my father is a black falcon. We just happen to be so lucky as to be hogging both black falcon's here in Akrita" she smirked before looking at Esmond "No that's true too. Dyten's a total snob" she smirked elbowing Dyten playfully "He's just very quiet. It's not in a snobby way." she smiled over at Dyten fondly then looked back "And to officially introduce him , This is Dyten Ryder. My parents took him in when he was an infant. " she looked at him again "So he might as well be related to me" she said softly "Dyten, you know who Ivan is apparently, and then these are his guards Esmond and Armand. I tackled Ivan to save him from the arrow of a a bandit archer in the woods"

Ivan nodded once, though had a slight smile on his face.
Dyten looked towards Armond, his eyes flashing red briefly at his statement. "You may find part of it coming true should you say something like that again." He warned.
"My apologies. Only stating what we have heard." Armond responded as he bowed his head.
Dyten just nodded once before looking back towards Adara. "I am guessing you are showing them around?" He asked her, seeming to ignore the fact that the other three were there.

"Oh don't be such a grump" Adara said looking over at Dyten "there are worse things people say. I hear that rumor in the border towns say that torrent is simple and crippled" she smirked. "I apologize for him. He's just unfriendly until he likes you. Just ask lady Eleanor here. Up until yesterday she thought he hated her" Adara said looking at Armond "I tend to be the only one that can talk to him like that. Mostly because he knows I'm not afraid of him" she laughed. She looked back at Dyten "yep. And we should get back to that actually. " she said moving back over to the men "you two have fun" she said to Dyten and Eleanor before turning to the three men with a smile "shall we?"
