Successful *Paineston*

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Well, I heard lotsa people get killed there and stuff." Grayson said, sitting beside his mother.

[Walter Grace]

"Well...you wouldnt think it, but people get...killed...everywhere. Even here, I'm sure." Walter bit his lip uncomfortably. He didnt enjoy using the word 'killing' infront of Grayson. "So on that topic, well, everywhere would be a bad place technically. Avaleur just experiences, sometimes, worst moments than most."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson tilted his head confused. "yeah but not that many people get killed here. Our killers all gotta go to prison. And we got lotsa knights!"

[Walter Grace]

"Our prison is not the most stable," Walter smiled. "And Avaleur is also not as lucky to have as many knights. But the knights we DO have are very capable and reliable."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson frowned. "Why can't Paineston just share some o' our knights with ya? We have lots and lots."

[Walter Grace]

"I don't think it really works like that!" Walter laughed, looking at Phillis. Looking back to Grayson, he continued, "A kingdom must take care of their own before others, correct? Well, Paineston needs to take care of themselves first, and help others second. Not to mention Paineson and Avaleur have never been close...'friends', per say."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson was beginning to get a little more confused. "Mama always told me to share and that ya should help your fellow man when they need ya." he said, reciting proudly. Scarlett laughed, putting an arm around the boy. "You have quite a memory, don't you?" she asked, smiling warmly. Grayson laughed. He was still young and naive.

Phillis sort of zoned out, staring blankly at one spot. Maybe the kid had a few good ideas.

[Walter Grace]

"Most are not as reasonable as you and your mother, Grayson, as sad as that is!" Walter smiled. "But who knows, maybe you could convince the kings to do so!"

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson nodded. " Alright!" he exclaimed, he was now determined. "Phillis, you can talk to the king here. and Papa, ya know the king of avaleur, right? Then ya can talk to him about it!" he said, he was still unaware that Phillis was more then the prince of Paineston. He smiled cutely to both. "Pleasee?"

Phillis laughed along. "Yeah, sure. No problem."

[Walter Grace]

Walter smirked, "Ahh yes, of course, I shall talk to the king of Avaleur about it as well."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson threw his hands up happily. "Yay! Mama, they might start to get along!"

Scarlett laughed as well. " Yes, of course, dear."

Grayson raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what's so funny? Why're y'all laughin'?"

[Walter Grace]

"Nothing, Grayson, do not worry too much. I am sure the kings will get along just fine. Maybe even live brothers, per say!" Walter at this point couldnt stop laughing.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis laughed a bit, turning away from the boy so that he wouldn't laugh any harder.

Scarlett hugged Grayson gently. "Papa just laughs to tease you, doesn't he?" she smiled.

Grayson huffed and shook his head angrily. "I don't get it!"

[Walter Grace]

"Do not worry, Grayson, I am sure you will find out eventually." Walter gave off a large grin.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson shrugged. He really had no clue what they were talking about. "So when are ya headin' out to Avaleur? I should pack my stuff."

[Walter Grace]

"Maybe in a half hour or so," Walter sat down again, motioning for Phillis to do the same.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis sat down beside Walter. He was a bit hesitant since it was such a small, very sensitive-looking house. He couldn't let his guard down.

Grayson sat on Walters lap. " Papa, where do ya live in Avaleur? Do you got a big, big house?!"

[Walter Grace]

"Well, generally I bounce from place to place. My belongings stay at the castle in my room, and I sometimes stay in the arena, the pub, the guard tower...but while you are staying we will live in the castle." he smiled.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson gasped. "In a castle? No way! Then I could meet the king and talk to him myself! That's so cool!"

Phillis smiled. "It's definitely cool. He's an awesome guy."

Grayson giggled, excitedly. "Are you very rich, papa?"

[Walter Grace]

"I have a good ammount of money I suppose." Walter smiled. "I don't have much need for it. I was probably going to give most of it to your mother, actually."
