It seemed that no one was going to get up and walk out on her, so the Queen stood up in delight. "Well, it is excellent that you all rather stay." Emilia's question came, and the Queen did notice how she was addressed. "Emilia, I understand we are on close terms as long as you are part of this group, but I do still expect to be addressed as Queen Cassie at the very least. We will leave once my scout team returns, and I expect them to return tomorrow, or the day after at the very least."

Then Einar's question came, and she received it with a smile. "Of course. I can take you to the training courtyard personally, if you'll allow me to. Our blacksmith is not located in the palace itself because of the smoke, but I can most certainly take you there too. I do believe a walk around the palace grounds will be nice." She turned to the others, ready to dismiss them. "Would anyone else like to join us?"

"I suppose that would be fine. I'll follow."
Emilia and Ember didn't have anything better to do. A nice exploration of the castle would certainly pass the time.
She assumed Cassie wanted to see everyone in combat for herself if they were going to head to the training grounds.
How would everyone fight? Personally she wanted to see for herself. She had doubts on some of them. She knew herself she could fight for sure but others usually slowed her down.
"Are we going to train or spar or something?"

Cain didn't like the look he was getting from Emilia. Plus Thorn was hungrily eyeing her Phoenix like it was destined to be his roasted dinner. Placing a hand on Thorn's neck, Cain snapped Thorn out of his hungered state. Then he politely bowed to the Queen and declined her request. "My apologies, Your Highness. Thorn and I would like to see where the magic users in the castle gather. If we do not need to leave for our mission yet, then I'd like to familiarize myself with the tools held here." said Cain as he lowered his head before walking off. Thorn also nodded at the Queen before leaving. On the way out, Thorn playfully nipped in the general direction of the beautiful Phoenix. Passing Emilia, Cain told her his name... again"Cain Barzahd... I'm something of a Wizard". Closing the doors behind him with a bit of magic, both Dragon and Rider left the room in style.

Walking across the courtyard with his Dragon following closely, Cain looked for the Mages Quarters. Surely there would be other intellectuals like himself who were skilled in the ways of magic. Stopping by a girl with a staff, he noticed she was trying to move water from one cup to another. Smiling, he remembered when his Aunt Melissa would make him do similar exercises when he was younger. Then he noticed her appearance. She was only a few years younger than he was. The exercise she was doing was meant for ten year olds. Wandering over, Cain waved to get her attention.

"Hey there! Having a bit of trouble?"

Einar Bjarkesson & Talle​

"Oh I know it won't be in the castle, but I do look forward to seeing it," Einar remarked, features upturned with a grin. "And likewise the training yard. I'm sure there is still much to be learned from one another." The towering man stepped back around his chair and pushed under the table politely, meanwhile his familiar glowered at the back of his leg causing Bjarkesson to sigh. "You can sleep! I'm sure there's a nice patch of sun around here, Talle." The wolf huffed through her nose and shook any crumbs off her coat. Einar had to avoid rolling his eyes, striding around the table with surprising light-footedness.

"Mind you, if there is sparring I'm sure it'll be a callback to youth." His gaze held a certain amusement, not harsh or insulting but partially filled with nostalgia. An additional twinkle, even, to his fair irises. Cain removed himself and his familiar from the room to attend to whatever magic users did, Einar being no specialist. He might've worked with them on occasion, but the business behind the mysteries of the arcane that others, including himself held, was beyond what he could hope to understand. The Northerner glanced at Emilia, her cold demeanour memorable and most certainly the overwhelming sense of self-importance she appeared to exude. Perhaps it was the Queen's scold of Emilia's forgetfulness of whom she was talking to that humoured him. The young, especially those of her age, had much to learn or be forced to mature to meet with others needs. He knew the tale too well from his own mistakes. Prodigies suffered. They always would.

It seemed that Emilia was wanting to come with Einar and Queen Cassie, while Cain pardoned himself and went to go look for the mages' study. "Very well. We'll pass the blacksmith before we head to the training yard. I should like to be able to see how you all fight, and perhaps introduce you to the Palace Armoury. You'll be able to take what you need for the trip from the Armoury."

She gestured for Atyx with her left hand that bore a golden ring. From a glance, one wouldn't notice, but upon closer inspection, it would be revealed that the ring had the late King Walter's symbol, with a blue crystal embedded in the center. Many monarchs removed the rings of their dead spouses for they would often marry again for the safety of their region, but not her. She had loved King Walter far too much to want to even entertain the idea. "Come, Atyx. We shall head to the palace smith."

The white dragon soared beside her, lowering himself to the ground. "A ride, perhaps?" Atyx offered, but Queen Cassie shook her head and lifted the dragon's chin up.

"I think we'll walk. The garden is in bloom after all, and I think it will be quite the sight to see," Queen Cassie stated, leading her two guests out of the dining hall and back through the maze of chandelier-bearing corridors in the palace. They eventually came out onto a verandah decorated with plush, white chairs. It overlooked a beautiful garden of hundreds of flowers in all sorts of colours, and in the very distance, was some smoke rising from a stout little cobblestone building in a steady stream, where the fires of the palace's forgemasters burned.

"I do hope you all enjoy the garden. It was King Walter that planted a lot of these by hand, even though the maids insisted that he shouldn't get his hands dirty," Queen Cassie chuckled, "It was very like him. Stubborn, just to impress me. I've always loved this garden and I hope it'll remain this beautiful for many generations to come."

"The garden is lovely. I would've loved to meet the king when he was alive."
"My family had a flower garden too."
Well infact they did. However it was not for just beauty. Emilia's family grew herbs. Poisons, Medicines, Toxins, and more.
"Ah yes the garden. You hide there a lot Emilia. But we know that's not the same kind of garden."
Such was useful for the life of an assassin. However as a noble family they did however have a garden for show. They hid the more dark grown plants underground. Nightshades didn't need light and due to magic the rest more or less were fine without sunlight.
Cassie had to be wanting to see their capabilities at some point right? What were the others capable of?
Cain so far seemed pretty normal given his physique and Einar probably knew how to fight but she didn't know what they would look like in combat.
Just what was taking so long?
"I actually want to clarify something with you Queen Cassie. You say Phoenixes are the rarest Familiars? Have you ever seen another Phoenix?"

"EEEEP" yelped the girl as the water went in all directions. With a swipe of his arm, Cain froze the water solid and halted its movement. The frozen water then smashed against the ground, sending bits of ice tumbling across the ground. Walking over, Cain noticed the girl tense up a bit as he approached. "I assure you I mean no harm. I was just wondering why you were doing the water lifting exercise?" Cain asked as he gestured to the ice. Speaking in a low voice, the girl timidly replied with "I'm practicing for an exam...". Cain raised his eyebrow, an exam? Having been taught by Aunt Melissa, Cain had never experienced a formal magic examination before. "Might I possibly be able to accompany you?" Cain was intrigued at the prospect of learning more about these mages. However the girl shook her head. "Outsiders aren't allowed, Sir" said the girl as she timidly kept her eyes focused on the ground.

"Oh well... Will you at least give me your name?" said Cain as he smiled at her. The girl then coughed a few times before revealing her name to be "Melissa". It seemed she was named after his adoptive aunt, right after she was appointed Great Sage. A noticeable smirk covered Cain's face, now intrigued by this girl. Before he could ask her anything else, a group of four teens in white robes appeared right in front of them. One of them, a girl with blond hair smiled sinisterly at the Melissa. "Well if it isn't Minute Talent Melissa?" said Blondie as her smile persisted. "H-Hello Diane" said a frightened Melissa as she cowered behind Cain. A tall boy with glasses suddenly spoke up. "Who are you? An outsider in our territory is strictly forbidden" said Glasses-Guy as he pushed up his glasses. "I'm sorry...who are you nerds?" asked Cain as he scratched the back of his head. All four white robed teens looked furious, Melissa clutched onto Cain's sleeve.

A young man with combed back hair wearing a rapier stepped forward. "Wearing the glasses is Ryoma Warring. The large one is Caesar Decurion. You just met Diane Hawthorne and I am Nikolai Haos. Together we are at the top of magekind in this castle. We are...the Four Wisemen" He said as if that meant something to Cain. When Cain just stared at him, Nikolai's forehead vein gained some definition. Glasses-Guy then pushed up his glasses again before pointing at Cain. "First you call us nerds, then you mock us?!" He said in a cold fury. Cain could see Thorn watching from the shadows, he wanted his Rider to settle this issue on his own. "Look, I get you're a little club of rich kids and magic snobs. However, I honestly don't give a damn who you are. None of you factor into my everyday life in any meaningful way. Also if you have time to pop in and insult Melissa, you have time to go return those bathrobes". With that, Cain turned his back on them to talk to Melissa. Melissa was just utterly stupefied at what was happening.
