The Damaged Queen ((Group Thread, Join!))

[Namari Lovelle]

"To be honest...I'm not sure..." in that moment she thought of something simple, but heart-aching.
"...I'll keep you in there for now, to please the people. Not for as long as last time I assure you. And I'll make sure you don't suffer, you get a bed and enough food each day. And no one will harm you in any way. If they do, I'll make sure they're fired," she looked at the ground, then worriedly looked back up.
"Is...is that okay, Steele? I just...it's hard to be Queen, and with you at the same time. And I'm really trying to make it work."

[Steele]

Namari's words were like daggers. Staying in prison, even longer!? Maybe it was because Blackgate prison was terrible, but the very thought of it made his heart sink.
'Uh...yeah..that's fine." Steele says. He understood why, but that still didn't mean he was less disappointed. Sitting in a small room all day while the rest of his pack was free. Seeing nothing but sunlight and metal walls. He kept thinking how lucky he was to have the Queen as a girlfriend or else he'd be in jail for life.
"Ah' can hang on." He says. His cravings seemed to subside after the night he changed, but he was in fear that they would come back and he'd lose himself again.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari smiled softly, touching his cheek.
"I can have you out in two weeks love. That is all. If I could I'd have you out immediately, I think two weeks is pushing it but I don't care."
She thought more, then another idea came to mind.
"Or...or, you could be released now...stay hidden, and I'll have the prison say they still have you. Maybe even get a disguise so you can walk around or something...which do you think is a better idea?" she asked, wondering herself.
The first idea was the safest, the second was the more preferred. So which one was better?

[Steele]

So here it was again, Steele's decision.
Risk Namari's well being, for if he were caught, the guards would eventually find out that Namari had something to do with his escape. Or stay in jail, and face the agonizing two weeks in solitary confinement in Blackgate prison.
He thought very carefully. He wanted to be free, but at what cost?
"No..." Steele said shaking his head. "Ah' can't risk it. If ye' were caught, we'd both be in prison fir' life." He says, then he kisses her.
"But thank ye' fir' thee offer. Two weeks ain't so bad compare ti' a lifetime."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari chuckled, kissing him back. "I miss you so much Steele..." she sorrowfully said, tears grazing her eyes once more.
"You mean everything to me. Remember that. I love you so much," she rested her head on his shoulder, holding him as tight as she could with her one hurt arm.

[Steele]

Namari's tears brought Steele to tears as well. This was goodbye again.
He hugged Namari back.
"Din't worry aboot' me okay?" He says. "Ah'll be okay, jus' remember ti' be thee' queen people need." He closed his eyes. This would be the last time he could enjoy Namari and the beach before going back to the dark prison.
"Nd' when ah' get oot', we can take a holiday. Jus' ye' nd' me."

[Namari Lovelle]

She sniffled, nodding with a slight smile.
"I'd like that," she managed to get out, brushing some of her tears away before brushing his.
"Though I will worry about you. And I will take care of the people. Just don't start hating me while you're in there, Steele. Though I doubt you will. I have no idea why you don't hate me yet."

[Steele]

"Cause ye' saved me' life hinny...ah'd be a murderer er' dead rite' now if ye' hadn't taken me in." He smiled. "Yer' thee' reason ah' go on." He said and hugged her.

Roe frowned at Ishin. He was sweating, badly. "You made more than one, because it's been ten minutes." Roe stated. Ishin chuckled.

"Yeah... So what?" He asked, out of breath. Roe shook his head. "But yeah, I'm getting too tired... Time to go make compromises..." Roe looked up, alarmed, but next thing he knew they were next to Steele and Namari.

"What..." Ishin sealed his voice for now.

"Hey guys... Listen up. I managed to make two illusions, but I can't hold up two for very long. We have to go. Now. But, I'll make you a deal." He looked at Namari square in the face. "I can keep up Steele's illusion for a long time, a week or so, without killing myself with help from other mages. I'll do this if you want Steele to remain here so you can see him with Roe's help whenever you want for one week. But for now, you have to go back to the hospital. That illusion is starting to falter, as I''m sure you're becoming see through right now.We have to go." He grabbed Roe and held out a hand for her to take.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari frowned, looking at Ishin's hand before looking at Steele.
"...What will it be love?" she asked with a frown. She didn't know if it would work.
After all, it would only last about a week. Not to mention it was dangerous. They could find out it is just an illusion. It could go both ways.

[Ryn]

(Sorry, I figure since I'm already on, I'll just use this account)

Arlene just stared at Seth who was handcuffed to the bed, with Namari who was becoming see through.
"Uh...I can explain..." Seth said.
Arlene just shook her head and walked out of the room.

MEANWHILE
This was it, the final decision. Stay here and risk everything, or go back to that awful prison. He looked at Namari. "Ah' want ti' stay here." He simply said. "Wit' Namari wheneva' possible." This was a most gracious offer from the elves. An offer he would not forget.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari smiled, going on her toes and kissing him on the lips.
"I'll visit you whenever I can, my love," she smiled softly, brushing some of the hair out of his face before taking the elves hand.
She looked back at Steele and, with a reassuring smile added, "I will be back as much as possible. Don't get too bored out here."

Ishin was sweating furiously now, but he laughed. "Remember werewolf, one week. Get strong, get rested, because after that I'm more than likely going to have to drop the illusion. Namari, freeing him within a week would be best, unless you have mages more than willing to give me an enormous amount of energy." He said. Then, he cracked his back and snatched Roe up, much to the other elf's surprise. "But either way, we have to go. Until next time, Steele." Ishin said. Roe managed a smile and a salute before getting teleported away back to the hospital.

As soon as they touched down, Ishin went into blood release for more energy, and relief immediately flooded his face as his illusion of Namari went up in a puff of vapor. "Back to bed, m'lady."

[Namari Lovelle]

She pursed her lips, but managed to get into the bed and slip herself half-under the covers comfortably.
"Thank you very much," she smiled warmly, and added, "I appreciate that a great amount."

[Deleted]

"It's not a problem, we're here to help. Seems like Avaleur needs quite a bit of it here lately." Ishin said to Namari abstractedly.

[Seth]

"You've got that right." Seth says still handcuffed to Namari's bed. "I hope it was worth it Namari. You could've been hurt again." He nags.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Steele would never hurt me on purpose, brat," Namari smirked, ruffling Seth's hair.
"And yes, Avaleur has seen better times. Though, I must admit, they have seen many more bad than good. I suppose it is nothing truly new to the citizens."

[Deleted]

"True, but it is something that can be changed if worked at hard enough." Roe interrupted. He had been sitting on his bed, the doctors checking on his remarkable healing rate which was actually blood healing by Ishin. He had technically been released, but had decided to stay behind and see what would happen.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Eventually, once people stop bugging us," Namari grinned, and chuckled. Shaking her head.
It was a bother alright. The city went through hell on a regular basis. Maybe the citizens stayed because they had nowhere else to go, maybe they were just strong willed. But it baffled Namari.
"I don't see what's so interesting about attacking Avaleur to be honest. Really, I don't, I have no plausible thoughts," she shook her head with a shrug.
"Any thoughts?" Namari asked.

[Deleted]

"Avaleur has had many strong and interesting people come through, even when it existed before your time. The Bone Dragon proves that. There are also a lot of people that wish to take Guerre for themselves and in order to do that they have to make sure that there aren't any people to get in their way. Avaleur is a hotspot for those kinds of people, making it the first target. There are too many factors to put into it, but those are the big ones." Roe explained.
