Back to ze past

Yuki was the last to arrive. Just as the king was about to speak, Yuki walked inside. "My, what a big hall." Yuki commented. "And what a big table!" He sat down beside some random person. "This looks delicious doesn't it!"

Lady Celerity, sitting next to him, looked slightly bemused. The fool smirked, ghosting behind the king's shoulder, and there were a few murmurs about strangers and lack of manners. They quietened down quickly when they realized that the king was still waiting.

The king motioned for the taste tester to test his food as he sat down.
The feast began.
Elizabeth tried not to laugh aloud.

(( I can't help but giggle...then feel a little confused...shouldn't Yuki be a bit more...RAWR HOLY SHIT OHMYGAWD WTF!?...Or is that just me? ))

((Some how during the transaction to the past Yuki became The Doctor. I think Yuki thinks he must have died and this is his after life. London.))

As food was passed around, the fool stood silently behind the king, eyes wandering across the well laden table. He moved suddenly, dodging around the table and coming to sit at the king's feet on the other side of the table, making a point of sniffing disdainfully at the minstrel near him.

Lady Celerity smiled pleasantly at the lord beside her. "What brings you to London?" She asked. 'I saw you earlier..."
"Me too!" Laughed the man on the other side of the table, leering. "Do you normally sleep in the dirt?"

Yuki cleared his throat. "Well I don't make habit of it if thats what your asking." He laughed. "However every now and then its good to feel a bit of nature as you sleep."

((London? have i wondered into the wrong forum?? WTF?!! LONDON?!! *faints*))

"Of course" He said and smirked to his friends, sitting back in his chair. After that, however, the feast managed to go on rather smoothly. It was drawing to a close, the last course being cleaned away by the bustling servants, when Celerity tapped Yuki's hand.
"Would you walk with me?" She asked him, smiling.

"Sure...." Yuki said, grinning widley. "Always the one to help out pretty ladies."

Celerity smiled pleasantly, standing up and waiting for him to escort her out to the gardens.

-----------------

Taro kept an eye on his King, waiting for him to vacate the table.

Yuki excused himself and stood, escorting himself out.

---

Elizabeth smiled and drunk out of her cup royally. She was Royal after all and thats how goes, when your royal. Because she was royal, unlike those pesants that arnt royal. Unlike Elizabeth, who was. Royal.

Celerity blinked after him for a moment before regaining her senses, bunching up her skirts and hurrying after him. Must be his outlandish way. Yes. Part of his foreign charm. She smiled. This was an exciting venture.

Yuki stuck his hands into his vest pockets and looked to the sky. "I havn't seen the stars in so long...."

"Beautiful aren't they?" She said happily, linking arms. "Why not though?" She queried, turning to lok at him. "Where you're from, do you not go out?"

--------------

Taro, noting the king's apparent fixation with the leftover food and petty conversation, moved away from the monarch, juggling some balls that had until recently been concealed in his sleeve, with his eyes closed and in one hand. He tossed them all up into the air, caught and hid them and then winked at Elizabeth.

"Where I'm from." Yuki said, turning to her. "Lights fill the roads and buildings, blinding the eyes of anyone walking." he ran his hand across the back of her neck. "And the beauty's of the night go missed."

---

Elizabeth laughed. "Well done."

The king twitched. "Get the fool out of here!"

"What?" Elizabeth asked. The king said nothing and watched as the guards moved forward.

Taro waggled his tongue at the approaching guards, performed a backflip and then proceeded to cartwheel from the hall, grinning madly.

---------------------

Celerity smiled alluringly. "Well now there's nothing between you and them" She said, taking his hand.

Elizabeth laughed and cheered for him.
"Don't encourage him!" The king barked at her.
"But-"
The king glared at her and she sat back. "Can I be exscused?" She asked.
He nodded. Elizabeth stood and walked out.

---

Yuki placed his han back into his pocket, smirking. "Nothing in the world." He removed his hand from hers and stepped forward, bending low to admire the flowers.

Taro stopped once he was clear of the hall and resumed a normal gait, skipping lightly down the hall. He knew he wasn't going to be able to evade them, but he wasn't going to make it remarkebly easy for them. He laughed and brandished his scepter behind him.

-------------

Celerity paused, skirts gathered in one hand.

Elizabeth snuck away, going through a door that was hidden from sight.

---

"Pretty flowers." Yuki smiled, standing up right. He glanced to the woman. "Pretty braclet you have. Suitor give it to yyou?"

"This? No." She examined it breifly. "I I have no proper suiters at the moment." She paused and rearranged a lock of hair. "What about you, my lord? Do you have a lady waiting for your return?"

--------------

Shade set aside the seeds he had been crushing and took a seat in the simple chair by his hearth. He was the Assasin of the keep, the one who carried out the King's orders. The quiet justice. Concealed in the secret rooms and corridors of the castle, he easily managed to keep an eye on nearly all the going ons around him.

"A lady?" Yuki smirked and shook his head, walking back to this lady's side. "No." He gave an airy laugh. "No Lady."

---

Elizabeth changed her clothes and stuffed her bed before jumping out the window to meet with her mentor.

Celerity laughed, misinterpreting the point of his comment. "Must be a lonely life you lead. Maybe you should stay awhile? Enjoy the company here." She suggested, eyes bright.

---------

As Elizabeth entered the room he currently occupied, Shade turned and rose an eyebrow at her before returning to examining the powdered herbs he held. "Ah, welcome back. A little earlier than I expected. You walk very loudly" He said, smiling gently. He wasn't young anymore, but he was strong and healthy. And although he carried a few scars, they weren't neccecarily hideous. "How did dinner go? Report."

"Lonley?" Yuki shook his head. "Far from it. Unlike most men, I dont need a woman in my life."

---

Elizabeth sat beside him, telling him all of dinner. "And they still treat the fool so poorly, like he's nothing more than an ant at their feet."

"How so? Is it not a custom for handsome lords to court young women?" She asked, tilting her head. She was starting to feel a little slighted. Was her charm that feeble? She felt the beginning of a pout forming on her lips.

-----------------------

"Well... You can't expect them to do otherwise can you? Have you observed nothing of the king? Stations are everything here. I'm sure he just oversteps the line one too many times for their liking" He said, but a frown was pulling at his features.
