Lucien picked his own clothes up, and got dressed quickly. He started combing his hair, shirt still mostly unbuttoned.
It's not in the Cards (O/O)
Aki gives a frustrated groan. "My master is going to kill me if I lost his shirt." He sighed quietly and shook his head before looking down. Maybe it was under the bed? He gets on his knees to look down beneath.
Lucien came out of the bathroom, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Are you, uhm… looking for something?" He asked slowly.
"My shirt." He replies, wiggling around, trying to get further under the bed. He hums as he feels around before slowly coming back out. "Odd…" He mutters softly.
Lucien frowned slightly, looking around. "Well…where did you put it down?" He asked slowly, buttoning up his shirt as he looked.
"Honestly…? I have no idea." He says sheepishly as he looks around the room. "Mind helping me?" He asks quietly, a faint blush along his cheeks. "You don't have to if you don't want-" He chuckles nervously.
He laughed softly. "Mm. Well, I can tell you where it isn't, and that's inside of something. I'll help you look, don't worry." He started looking around the room, leaving his shirt half unbuttoned. "And if we can't find it, you can borrow one of mine for a while."
"Thank you." Aki replies before continuing to look around. He sighed quietly, continuing to look, his eyes soft. "That means a lot."
Lucien smiled. "Yeah, no problem." He replied. His hair was loose, and hung into his face a little. He would redo the braids in a bit.
Aki tried to keep his eyes from wandering the prince, knowing now that even if he did catch the princes eye, which was highly unlikely, he would just be a fling. He sighed and looked under the bed again. Where on Earth could his shirt be?
Lucien took a deep breath. No. Stop it. You aren't going to even try to have a relationship. Not with anyone. Even if…even if you want to. He clenched his jaw a little, still looking for the shirt.
Aki found it, it had somehow gotten deep under the blanket… Maybe it slid when he threw it off? He carefully brushed off the dust and smiled. "I found it!" He said giddily.
Lucien looked over. "Oh, good." He smiled lightly, and finished buttoning up his own shirt. "Are those the only clothes you have? And if so, do you need or want an extra pair or two?" He asked.
"Ah. I have clothes… Thank you." He smiled shyly before running a hand through his hair. "I appreciate the offer." He says softly, his ears and tail flicking a little.
He smiled back. "Alright. But let me know if you need anything, alright?" he replied, starting to do the two braids again.
"Yeah, of course." He mutters quietly before sighing as he looked at his shirt and straightening it out. He brushed some hair from his eyes. "Alright then. What now?"
Lucien nodded. "Uhm…library, I think. To look stuff up?" he shrugged, heading to the door of his room and opening it.
"Sure thing!" He giggles and follows after and looking around before sighing happily. "Lead the way." he says gleefully. "If you wouldn't mind showing me your favorite place after we go to the library?"
Lucien smiled, closing the door behind them. "Oh." he replied with a shrug. "Sure?" It'll just depress him, but…I'll do it. He chuckled softly. "If you're sure you want to see it. It's a little depressing." he led the way through the halls.
"I don't mind." He smiles in reply, bounding happily. He hums to himself, his eyes shutting as he relaxed. He adjusts his shirt and glances over at Lucien. "So… I don't know a lot about you. What do you enjoy?" He asks curiously. There was no malicious intent, just genuine curiosity.
Lucien blinked, then shrugged. "Reading, uhm…" he shrugged a little. "I don't know. Learning new things. What about you?" he asked.
"I love learning magic, obviously. I like to dance, and read… Whatever I can get my hands on." He states happily, looking around.
Lucien smiled a little. "Alright." he replied. "That's cool." he kept leading Aki through the hallways.
Aki sighed in relaxation. But his eyes furrowed, feeling a faint tug. He looked around before taking a sharp right into the next halls, his eyes wandering the dancing shadows.
Lucien frowned a little. "Aki? Where are you going?" he asked slowly, following the other male.
Aki raised a hand, "There's…." He mutters, looking around. Wincing at the harsh whispers that filled his ears.
Lucien frowned, following him. "What?" He asked slowly, adjusting the crown on his head and looking around.
Aki felr along the walls. "There's something here." he mutters softly, listening intently.
Lucien blinked, watching him curiously. "I…dont know anything about that." He replied slowly.
Aki felt along the walls, his fingertips barely touching it. "Here…" he whispers, gently feeling along the wall. The energy was angered, twisting and curling in bitterness and hatred. Aki shuddered.
