Dyten just shook his head. "Be careful." He told her, glancing towards Ivan briefly before excusing himself. He bid farewell to Eleanor and headed up to his room to change and clean up since he hadn't had a chance to after training when he had gone into town with Eleanor.
Ivan raised a brow but shrugged it off and looked back towards Adara. "He definitely has a warrior's posture. Guessing he is a soldier?"

"Oh I'm never careful, you know that" Adara laughed. As she walked away with the others she smiled "yes. He's a soldier and my main training partner. He and I are actually pretty inseparable usually. He's my favorite person to assist with because he challenges me"
Adara showed him around for a while. As they were making their way back to the sitting room Torrent, Treva, Sandra, Ryu and Felicia were just arriving back
Adara smiled and walked over to them "Ivan, Armond, Esmond, may I introduce to you my brother, the crowned prince of Akrita, Prince Torrent" she said motioning to him "His beautiful wife, Treva and their daughter Sandra" she said cheerfully "As well as his twin, my older sister, Princess Felicia, and her boyfriend Ryu" she looked at her family "Guys, this is Prince Ivan McVain of Haven, and his guards Armond and Esmond"

Sandra hid behind Treva, poking her head out to look at the three. She tugged at her mother's skirt before looking back towards Ivan.
Treva shifted slightly, her wrap sliding to reveal her stomach and a bit more of her normal lumian attire.
Esmond and Armond both looked away quickly, not used to the attire and feeling that it was disrespectful since Treva's wrap slipped.
Felicia laughed softly at the reaction of the two. "It is alright you two. Treva is from Lumia. What she is wearing is normal attire for there."
"But....She..."
"Is there a problem with me wearing what is common among my people?" Treva asked.
"Not at all." Ivan respond. "It is simply surprising is all. You are the first feline we have met. None have traveled to Haven. They have not had a reason to I guess, though we have extended an offering of alliance to them."
Treva nodded. "Wouldn't surprise me if they don't respond." She stated before glancing over towards Armond and Esmond. She growled and hissed towards them, her black tail flicking out behind her.
Armond and Esmond both bowed. "Forgive us, princess Treva." They said in unison.
"I like them, momma." Sandra said with a smile.
Treva looked down towards her daughter and smiled before looking back towards the others.

"Well you can't really blame them Treva." Adara smiled "It's a cultural difference. I'm sure there are cultures out there that we do not know of what would get a similar reaction from you" she said softly "Unfortunately not everyone is practiced at hiding their shock. Just as those of us who are used to it would react still if someone other than you were to show up wearing a Lumian dress. It would simply be unexpected" she looked at Sandra "Hey precious girl" she smiled kneeling "You are a smart one aren't you?" she said fondly to her niece
Torrent looked between Adara and his wife then looked at the guests nodding his head and giving a slight smile "Welcome, Prince Ivan....and escorts" he said, nodding his head to the guards "Welcome to our fine kingdom" he smiled a little "Prince Ivan, if I am not mistaken by the colour of your hair, you're a red falcon are you not? I've always been quite fascinated by what red falcons can do. Seems far more interesting than my own powers"

Sandra smiled towards Adara. "Can I go with you?" She asked.
Ivan bowed his head to Torrent when he greeted him. "That is correct." He responded in regard to his question about being a red falcon. "Umm...they aren't as great as I once thought them to be." He said with a soft laugh.
"He is referring to your sister saving his life from a bandit." Armond responded. "Something that we should have done, as was our responsibility."
Ivan looked towards Armond. "And you have done so. She just happened to be a bit quicker." He told him before glancing towards Adara. "Almost as though she had a touch of red falcon to her honestly. At least with as quick as she was." He looked back towards Torrent.

Torrent smiled a little "I'm sure if you were able to read minds like Adara can you would have protected him from the danger long before Adara got there" he said looking at Armond "she always seems I make quite the impression on people" he chuckled. He looked at his sister then back at Ivan "if only that were possible" he said softly "but you and I both know that these powers are not something someone can have a little of. I was born to a human mother and falcon father and yet because I am a white falcon I have no traces of human in me"
Adara smiled at Sandra "of your mother allows it" she said softly "there is not much left in where we are going... But why don't you show them your favourite place in the castle?"

Ivan smiled and bowed his head slightly. When Torrent mentioned it not being possible he shrugged. "It depends on if the legends are true."
"You know they are purely legend your highness." Esmond stated.
"And nothing more." Armond finished.
"Yes, but even legends start out as true stories at some point." Ivan told them both before looking towards Torrent. "There is one that is born with all three powers. That of red white and black." He told him.
"The sky goddess is what most falcons refer to her as. Always female, not always of nobility. Held as a goddess among our race due to her gift of all three traits most honored by the falcons." Armond stated. "Though some believe it to be legend, there are those who believe she has simply not returned to us as of yet, but one day will. However, she will not know that she is. Many will hunt her for it as well."
"So the legend goes." Edmond stated, nudging his twin who believed the legend of the star goddess to be true.
"Can I momma?" Sandra asked, looking up at her mother with a big smile.
"Alright." Treva said with a nod. "Just make sure you stay with your Aunt Adara and don't go running off on your own." She told her.
"I promise." Sandra said before looking over towards the others as they were talking about the sky goddess. "She sounds a lot like the goddess of the panthers. We call her the shadow princess." She stated with a smirk.

"That would be rather spectacular" Adara smiled getting up and looking at the others "there is actually a lot of documentation of such things in most of the races that have unique abilities. Usually there is a story of a convergence of those powers so I believe it could happen" she said looking between the three
"Did I mention that my sister likes to skip her lessons to either fight or read... With equal frequency?" Torrent laughed shaking his head at his sister

"That does not surprise me at all." Ivan said, glancing towards Adara with a smile. "She seems more like one that would prefer to be in the action then just reading about it." He stated before looking towards Torrent. "Well..If you will excuse us then, I believe the young princess had some place she wanted to show us?" He said, looking towards Sandra with a smile.
Sandra nodded with a smile and moved over to grab Ivan and Adara's hands before pulling them along towards her favorite places in the castle, all the while chattering happily to the two about why the places she was showing them were her favorite.
As Sandra was playing with the of the young falcons in the aviary, Ivan looked towards Adara from where he stood. "It is hard to believe that anyone would wish to use such a sweet girl to harm another."

"I enjoy both" Adara smiled "I like to learn I just find the stuff they try to teach me to be dull" Adara laughed. She smiled and let Sandra give the tour she wanted to . she was watching Sandra carefully in the aviary making sure she was careful with the birds but glanced at Ivan when he said something about that
"There are some cold heartless people out there " Adara said softly "unfortunately not even children are safe from them. " she smiled "but rather than thinking about that, I'm just amazed by her. Someone who has been through that and she's still so happy and innocent .I mean look at her." She said smiling fondly

Ivan nodded. "She is very trusting." He agreed as he looked towards Sandra who was giggling happily.
Sandra tilted her head slightly before letting the flacons fly off and moved back over towards Adara. "Aunt Adara....they are being noisy." She said.
Ivan figured she was referring to the falcons, their chattering probably being overly loud to her sensitive feline ears. However, Sandra was referring to a couple of spirits that resided in the castle, former residents of the place that simply enjoyed sticking around as protection.

Adara knew what Sandra meant because she could hear her thoughts and moved over, kneeling down "If they're bothering you, maybe you should ask them if they can go somewhere else." Adara said softly "Nicely" she added, not wanting the girl to offend the spirits either. She touched the girl's face gently "or we could go back down and maybe to dinner?" she said as an alternative

Sandra tilted her head slightly and looked towards the other three before looking back towards Adara as her stomach growled. "Dinner sounds good." She smiled sweetly up at her. She looked over towards Ivan and the others.
Ivan bowed his head slightly as he looked towards Adara and Sandra. "Lead the way."
When they arrived in the dinning hall, Dyten was already there talking with Ryu a bit about tomorrows training and some ideas they had been going over for training routines to help the soldiers with facing other demons.

Adara lead then back to the dining hall. She paused seeing Eleanor across the room, also just coming in and glanced over at Dyten and the chair beside him where she usually sat then back at the girl. Sighing inwardly she took a different seat much to her mother's surprise, leaving the chair next to Dyten open for Eleanor if she got the nerve up to take it
Eleanor glanced at her family who had taken the seat and then at Adara. She knew from every time she had been to the castle that Adara always sat next to Dyten so seeing Adara take a different seat surprised her as well. She took a deep breath figuring she knew why and moved over to the chair "Mind if i sit here?" she asked Dyten quietly, not wanting to force herself on him too much that day

Dyten glanced towards Adara when he noticed her come in. When he saw her take a different seat he raised a brow. ~What's going on?~ He thought before glancing towards Eleanor. "If you want to." He told her before glancing back towards Ryu.
Sandra smiled towards Eleanor when she saw her. However, when she saw Eleanor's sister she hid behind Adara, glancing around Adara's chair towards the girl.
Ivan bowed his head in greeting to the others when he saw them before moving over towards Adara. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, seeing her sitting off away from Dyten which seemed to have surprised the rest of her family.
