Uri - Someone Worth Dying For

Someone Worth Dying For

Who says that growth has to come from fighting and meditation alone? In this scene, shortly after treating his patient Siegfried, the young medic would have returned to the same arena the patient earned his facial scar from. Originally he went there to check up on a mysterious crowd, knowing the female at the center was the princess named Marie. Though he at first thought she needed protection as they appeared to be ready to gang up on her, but, Uri witnessed a different outcome. Those same kids, would instead become Maries retainers, allowing for Uri to relax and not rush in to fight. Now, he was not her retainer, but saw it as his duty to protect the crown anyhow.  ---Funny though as this leads to a new twist of Uri becoming a friend of the princess, someone she could call upon for medical aid for herself or her retainers when the time comes. This made the heart of his shine, not in a literal sense, but to be prideful of his talents and determination being acknowledged by a person like Marie and her rag tag group of retainers.

[19:27] Uri nods his head, taking off his jacket if he needed, only to better comfort and guide the patient by nulling some of his senses... With that injury, Uri suspected that he might be in a mild case of shock and hypersensitivity. It could last for a while in a normal case, but Uri would let Del decide the next steps.

"It's not issue, he isn't too heavy." Uri was an unarmed fighter, capable of listing much more than the average man. "Come, come."
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:29] Weiss Anam says, "That's not what your face looked like earlier..."
[19:30] Del stares...
(Del mer Joyau)
[19:30] Siegfried would simply look away.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:30] Del walks away quickly as they tow Siegfried around.
(Del mer Joyau)
[19:30] Uri shakes his head.
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:30] Calais orn Octavius whispers something.
[19:30] Del doesn't know where the Queen is...
(Del mer Joyau)
[19:30] Siegfried Lohengramm says, "Castle..."
[19:30] Sparrow cos Queen says, "Heeeya, Del."
[19:31] Del mer Joyau whispers something.
[19:32] Uri looks at Seigfried... He wondered if this man had the same fighting spirit, or if it would evolve into one of hate...
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:32] Siegfried Lohengramm says, "....."
[19:32] Siegfried Lohengramm says, "... Thanks..."
[19:32] Del mer Joyau whispers: It looks.. like a meeting..
[19:32] Del mer Joyau whispers: Will you.. be okay alone..?
[19:32] Uri Sanctum whispers: Seems so..
[19:32] Siegfried Lohengramm whispers: ... Yeah...
[19:33] Uri Sanctum whispers: I'll stay with you.
[19:33] Del places some food in his pocekt..
(Del mer Joyau)
[19:33] Siegfried Lohengramm whispers: Don't tell Eirene.
[19:33] Siegfried would slightly smile.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:33] Del mer Joyau whispers: Please do not.. be angry at.. him...
[19:33] Siegfried Lohengramm whispers: ......
[19:33] Del quickly walks away.
(Del mer Joyau)
[19:34] Uri Sanctum exclaims, "---!"
[19:34] Siegfried Lohengramm says, "< Oh... no.... >"
[19:34] Uri stands before Siegfried!!!
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:34] Siegfried tries to hide!
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:34] Uri throws a robe at the guy to hide his appearance.!
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:34] Eirene ...is confused! But gives a wave forth regardless.
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[19:35] Eirene ras Petrakis says, "Hello, Siegfried."
[19:35] Uri looks at Seigfried expecting an answer!
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:36] "..... Hi ....." He would meekly state, only showing the right half of his face from behind the piller.

"... How .... are you?"
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:36] Uri stood between all this. He felt as if the drama were slowly descending upon them.

He had no excuse, at least none right now to cover for the Lohengramm.
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:37] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "I fare well. Is there something the matter?"
[19:37] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "No! No! Nothing is wrong, obviously!"
[19:37] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "Clearly!"
[19:38] Uri Sanctum says, "Everythings, perfect, I'd say."
[19:38] Siegfried nods, and then nods again.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:38] Eirene tilts her head just to the side, yet expounds no more on the subject.
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[19:39] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "Of course. Would you please tell me what the commotion within the throne room is?"
[19:40] The medic would shift back to try and block the royals view of the one behind him.
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:40] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "Uhhhhhhhhhhh!"
[19:40] Siegfried Lohengramm says, "I have no idea."
[19:40] Uri Sanctum says, "Diplomat topics maybe."
[19:40] Siegfried Lohengramm whispers: How long can I keep this up for?
[19:41] Uri Sanctum whispers: You'll have... And I mean, really have to tell her at some point.
[19:42] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "Unfortunate. You are hiding. Has something happened, Siegfried?"
[19:42] Uri Sanctum says, "I plead ignorance."
[19:42] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[19:42] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "No! Nothing has happened!"
[19:42] Siegfried Lohengramm exclaims, "Why would anything happen!"
[19:42] Eirene ras Petrakis says, "If you so insist."
[19:42] Siegfried would suck wind through his teeth.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:44] Uri would give off a nervous smile. He was, as well as Seigfried… Lying to the Princess, in her face, over and over, while hiding the truth... Uri would try to keep this same expression of a fake smile. He left it up to Siegfried to speak up.
(Uri Sanctum)
[19:45] Siegfried would simply look toward the Sanctum, sighing, before finally nodding.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:46] Hrist exclaims, "Hieirine!"
[19:46] Hrist exclaims, "Byeirene!"
[19:48] Silent steps would taken as he finally came out from the pillar. A singular azure eye fell upon the princess, his other one masked in bandaging.

It was clear that he had been burned for pure red skin escaped some of his wrapping, Del wasn't able to hide all of it.

"I got hurt, in a fight, really badly."
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[19:56] Eirene stares forth as Siegfried approaches. Examining the bandaging, the reddened burnt flesh.

"Ah."

A small pause.

"You have been treated, yes?"
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[19:58] The medic stood by his patient. Now it was not his call to answer, since the Princess spoke only to Siegfried, and Del was not present. But Uri would remain quiet, even slowly backing out of the situation, for it seemed to be handled now.
(Uri Sanctum)
[20:02] The young cadet would bite his lip, his head quickly turning away from Eirene.

"It's been treated." He would state half heartily. Disappointment filled his voice. He didn't want to tell her this, not right away, but, it happened.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[20:03] Eirene ras Petrakis says, "Good. Then all is well, yes? You will improve further, and avoid allowing such to happen again."
[20:03] Tea shadowboxed.

"Some bitch is goin' 'round tryin' to mug people," She said suddenly, as she twisted and punched the air. "She tried to rob me but I beat her up."
(Tea)
[20:03] Uri Sanctum exclaims, "---!"
[20:04] Uri Sanctum says, "Bring me to er."
[20:04] Tea says, "I'unno where the fuck she went."
[20:04] Uri Sanctum says, "Well. "
[20:04] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "Ah. Were you able to see what she looked like?"
[20:04] Siegfried Lohengramm asks, "... I guess... yeah... I - It's... it's all I can do, right?"
[20:04] Tea says, "She was black."
[20:05] Uri Sanctum says, "It happens then."
[20:05] Tea says, "And she used blood magic."
[20:05] Tea says, "She had a really shitty staff, too."
[20:05] Eirene gives a slight nod!
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[20:05] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "Siegfried. You will see to it that a knight, or higher, is informed of this report, yes?"
[20:06] Siegfried Lohengramm says, ".... Yeah... of course."
[20:08] Eirene ras Petrakis says, "This is unlikely the most suitable place for extended discussion, however. Shall we move somewhere less..."
[20:08] Eirene takes a moment to look around the room!
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[20:08] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "Regal, perhaps?"
[20:08] Siegfried Lohengramm asks, "???"
[20:08] Siegfried Lohengramm asks, "What does that word mean?"
[20:09] Eirene ras Petrakis asks, "R...regal?"
[20:09] Siegfried would nod.
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[20:10] He sighs, for this description could go around for many faces he knew, but this sounded like a person he came across in the woods once... Though he was not noticed then, he was unsure if this could be that person.

Likely not...

"There's nothing more I can do here then. I'll be returning to the hospital for other duties---Oh and warrior... Be sure to take some Lax Essence, you will need it while your injury heals." he only says this in regards to how fresh injuries might hurt for quite a while, months to a year even... Who knows, maybe that scar will ache for whenever he comes across his inflictor again.
(Uri Sanctum)
[20:11] Tea waved her hand dismissively,

"I'm done talkin'." She said, continuing to throw shadow punches.
(Tea)
[20:13] "Lax Essence." He didn't know exactly what it was, but, if it was going to help then he would pick it up. "Thank you, for everything today." He would state with a dignified bow.

His eye would glance at Tea, dismissing her, before falling onto the princess once more. "I guess, if you want to move to a reegual place I'm alright with it."
(Siegfried Lohengramm)
[20:22] Eirene gives a small nod towards Tea, and a gentle shake of her head to Siegfried.

"We are in a regal place, Siegfried- I suggested departing from such."

Eyes turning towards Tea, the rhoynish is offered a smile. "Your report is appreciated, Tea."

The princess motions to one of the servants lining the walls, then towards Tea. After a few moments, that servant returns with a small sack of coin.

"A reward, for successfully fending off the bandit, as well as reporting such. If you recall any further details, you are encouraged to inform the nearest member of the First Light."
(Eirene ras Petrakis)
[20:23] Uri returns the bow to Seigfried and then to the princess, only to leave immediately!
(Uri Sanctum)
[20:26] His hand is removed from his nose.

Uhli offers the others a small nod as Maria introduces him. He'd also smirk as she begins to describe his strength to them. It is something he takes great pride in.

"Will show it to Lith and others in tournament."

Lithos, Izette, and Poppy. He takes a moment to repeat the names in his head and match them to their person. It had always been quite difficult for him to remember simple things. like this.

"Don't think Queen will care if Marie wants all three with her. Law is royals."
(Uhli)
[20:26] Poppy says, "Ain't that the truth..."
[20:26] Uri raised a brow at the situation, not sure what was going on now. "Everythings okay, no?"
(Uri Sanctum)
[20:26] Uhli says, "... Uhli be right back."
[20:27] He suddenly scurries off for a moment!
(Uhli)
[20:32] "Lith, Izzy and Poppy... Kind of has a good ring to it, I like it." Marie would nod between all of them and grin, ear to ear in her glee, happy that it didn't go as expected. It seemed she'd made more friends, when she had expected a much less welcome reception. With everything working out, as it did - she nodded along with Lizette's words. "Yeah, I'm going to get pretty Humiliated too... I had been practicing magic but I didn't have enough people to practice with, and I kept getting interrupted with my spars with Alexander. Uhli's the only consistent person in my life."

Flexing her hand, the Golden glow would flicker across her palm - and her head dropped, depressed in the future embarrassment. The other Princess, beaten in a tournament on her first round. Terrible. Tragic. The cosmic glow around her hand scattered as imperfect as it already was, and she'd nod at Uhli and Poppy's conclusion.


Law is Royals.

"Okay then, you can be my retainers if you'd want. You can venture around the castle and stuff, just don't make any trouble; I can't bail you out of prison easily, y'know?.. I'm also kind of strapped for cash.. N-Not that I'm poor, just that uh... I'm not rich.

I'm a Princess but I'm like, the /other/ Princess. Lower down on the ranking, much less cool." The sisters had rank over her and she knew that, but she'd quickly clap her hands.

"But! We can probably totally find ways to make money if you guys would have me along on your adventures and stuff. Well I can't really leave the city right now, often at least, people kind of would like to capture a Petrakis. That'd suck. I don't think anyone would pay the ransom." Marie frowned at the though.
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[20:33] Marie quickly looked over to Uri, and added a nod. "Yeah everything's fine. Just talking with new friends."
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[20:34] Uri had an idea towards this... "Maybe a disguise will help? It'd be too bad if you couldn't go on a great hunt for ore.. I'd love to tag along as the medic of your crew." His response was quick and brief. No need to do much else, but he had to get the point of changing her appearance across.
(Uri Sanctum)
[20:40] Lithos had the far-off goal of getting Izette made a retainer, what with their dream of moving up in the world. He thought it was a long shot. Just pushed for it because, what was there to lose?

And now, somehow, all three of them had been made retainers. Just like that. Not exactly his preferred occupation, but he'd go with it. After all, they had always just gone with the flow for the sake of adventure. Why stop now?

Still, as Marie talks about their low rank, their low funds, their lack of comparative privilege... It actually made the whole thing sound pretty exciting. He did really appreciate how the forgotten princess went around dressed as a commoner.

"Hey. I like being with the underdog anyways."
(Lithos)
[20:40] "... I ain't going to no castle ALONE. Prissy! No way, no how!" Still as paranoid as ever, the sewer rat finally stood upright, stretching their hands above their head with a mumble. "Yeah, get a disguise. Dontcha got like.. Royal tailors for all sortas outfits? Just make something real GRUNGY but normal. That'll fit in."

They'd make a thumbing gesture towards themselves and their patwork brown-sack-for-clothes, as well as the plain clothes of Lith and Bob- I mean Izette.

Their hands soon dart into their pockets for a moment, eyes shifting towards the golden glow without much thought towards it. Before looking back away from it.

"I'm only gonna go by Retainer when around you and acting all.. Ugh.. Royally.. Royal.." As salty as they sounded, they did smack their lips and wriggle about in place.

Royalty insinuated a chance at wealth. Which did pique the sewer gremlin's attention. Lips pursed together in a quiet little hum. But their eyes did squint towards Uri suspiciously. Letting out a quiet huff. "Who're YOU huh!?"
(Poppy)
[20:40] Tilting their head, it seemed that they were accepted to be her retainers. A soft chuckled protruded from their throat, "Ahh, great! But pfftt.. Much less cool? Nobody cares about that! You're you, and that's fine. We'll do what we have to no matter what you are.. I mean, look at us, hah." A thumbs up was given towards the Princess as they said that.

"And hm.. Of course, we often go out and gather ingredients and stuff." Gesturing towards Lithos, they continued, "He's an alchemist so we have to keep him supplied after all! If you ever want to join us, just say the word! We won't let anything happen to you.. Or like he said- A disguise might help."

Wait, who was he?

A quick glance was given towards Uri. They had seen him around here and there, but never really paid to much attention. It seemed like he was getting his two cents in though. Fair.

"Helloo.. Don't be awkward, come here." They motioned for him to come closer. Now that they had Poppy somewhat under control, they felt like they had the whole world in the palm of their hand. Not really, but they were feeling pretty in the social aspect.
(Izette Belle)
[20:41] Lithos says, "I wonder if we're keeping anyone from using the arena."
[20:41] Lithos asks, "Hey. You two aren't waiting to spar, are you?"
[20:42] Poppy says, "... I hope so."
[20:42] Lithos says, "Neat."
[20:47] "Doesn't matter if lose."

His shoulders roll in a shrug as they speak of not doing well in the tournament. The boy himself understood there are many stronger than him now. Others his age and certainly those older.

"Help learn to be a lion."

A look is taken to Marie for him to flash that grin of his. She'd understand the reference more than the others would.
(Uhli)
[20:53] As Uri acted distant and shy, Marie too gestured him over - it seems she didn't want him to not take part in the conversation, since he had arrived by checking on her to begin with. "Yeah join us, plenty of people around to chat with hm? Bigger the group the better." A goofy grin plastered on her face, and she looked to Lithos to nod. "I like being the underdog as well, honestly... It's more fun to impress people when they aren't expecting it."

Then looking to Lizette, Marie's grin turned to that of a softer more taken aback, but appreciative smile. You're you wasn't quite something that she heard often, regarding herself. Even as the /other/ Petrakis, she still had expectations on her. "I appreciate it Izette. You're right. I mean not about the look at us part. You're great. The other stuff you're right about though." Quickly correcting herself, she'd make sure she didn't actually offend anyone.

Then glancing over to Poppy, her brown would furrow. "I have tailors and stuff but the maids keep forcing me in dresses. It's very annoying and I'm going to have to wear one at the Gala." What horror - it seemed dresses and prettying up were as terrifying to her as baths were to Poppy.

And finally her eyes fell on Uhli. The reference was gotten - it was definitely gotten; he was mirroring her words, and she'd do the same. "I don't know, haven't seen Lion fight Boar yet. Boar could still be stronger. We'll see at tournament tomorrow.

I think you stand the best chance here though, if you can get past Dorothea. Beating her basically wins you this whole thing, in my opinion."
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[20:56] Uri would quickly respond to Poppy, seeing that the Princess had yet to speak or will do so soon. But the thing is. He had nothing to show for it, for his credentials but he would happily explain it.

"I'm Uri, from House Sanctum, and like a few others in my family. I'm a qualified medic, as well as a decent fighter, though I distaste the act. I can't help but say that such practices are necessary for survival."

That was all he had to say before walking on over to the group. "It's a pleasure, meeting you all. Truly," he blinks his eyes a few times, the red room made it difficult to get the true details of their faces.

(Uri Sanctum)
[21:00] Poppy looks even more, and more pale as everyone starts talking... A..

Gala

And if they were now Marie's retainer, that meant they had to attend it. There was an inward screeching from the grungy sewer teen. Though all anyone could see was the slight sparkle of electricity here and there, they opened their mouth, wishing to scream.

Yet they could not. Instead a wheezing-

"A Gala.. Hnnn.." At least Tournaments were funny to watch.
(Poppy)
[21:01] Lithos lifts his chin up towards the young medic.

"Sure, yeah. Pleasure, Uri."

A hand is lazily lifted in greeting.

"Dunno if you were there for it. Wasn't paying attention. But I'm Lith. And uh, all of us-"

The boy swirls his finger around, quickly pointing at himself, Izette, and Poppy.

"Are now retainers of the good princess Marie here, yeah? So if we get injured..."

A look is given towards Uri, the vagabond child raising an eyebrow.
(Lithos)
[21:02] Izette had come somewhat of a long way since their encounter with whoever that person was who injured them, and perhaps that was part of the reason they weren't as confident as they should be, but what Uhli said was true. Losing didn't matter.. Not here at least.. In the outside world, it was a different story.

"Ah-" Snapping out of it, the teen would look and Marie and nod, "No problem.. And thank you."

As one could tell, it was probably pretty hard to offend someone like Izette. But it seemed like Poppy was right on one account. Having to get all dressed up and what not. Looking down at their own clothes, it was.. pretty baggy, per usual.

"Hm.. Well, I feel like you should be able to wear what you're comfortable wearing. People have this tendency to misjudge a person just for their outer appearance.. A shame, honestly." Eventually they waved towards Uri, "Izzyyy. Nice to meet you."
(Izette Belle)
[21:08] "Will see tomorrow!"

He laughs again as she makes her own reference before looking towards the approaching Uri. They are someone he'd seen around many times but didn't know anything about. He listens, but is turned off by them mentioning they dislike fighting.

"Ugh..."

A low groan is let out. But he doesn't say add anything else to the conversation.

Uhli instead gets distracted scratching at his neck for a bit.
(Uhli)
[21:12] Poppy's wheeze was felt in Marie's soul - she understood. Gala's sounded fun! Dressing up did not, and especially if she had to deal with boys asking her to dance all night. The horror - the misery. Looking among them all, she'd then glance to Uri and offer her introduction as well. "I'm Princess Marie ras Petrakis... Just uhm, Marie please. No fancy titles. It's a pleasure to meet you too, Uri."

She'd offer a bow towards him, one she didn't offer the others before due to being SURROUNDED. They were still kind of close actually, but she didn't seem to terribly mind.

"Yeah they're my retainers - if they get injured you can take the price of a kit out of my pocket, if it's that bad alright?" Then she'd nod and grin over towards IZETTE. I-Z-E-T-T-E.

"I agree with you but unfortunately they like to dress Princesses up. Any time now they could take me, lock me up in a tower and put a Dragon at my door - gotta look my best for when the Prince Charming arrives." Even if Marie didn't roll her eyes at that, the sarcasm in the air was palpable thanks to her words coating it on thick.

A glance at Uri, as she'd raise her eyebrows. "If you're around for the Tournament that'd be great. I'm worried people are going to go for limbs, and I think Me and Uhli have a few people who might not like us. Having a medic around would be great."
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[21:18] It took Poppy a moment to realize Uri had introduced himself.

Why was he up close to the sewer rat. Poppy's profile may say they were begrudgingly clean, but it hadn't happened just yet.

Poor Uri was assaulted by the stench of rot, of the sewers in Sudbury, of impoverished dirt and grime. Poppy glared at him and all of the tittles- house this, something that, just sailed over Poppy's head as the sewer rat gave him the growdiest stank eye they could muster in the moment with a quiet huff.

"I'm POPS, jus' pops. Or Poppy- What-the-fuck-ever! Come from house NONYA beez-knees! Bub!" They were pulling on a 'tough person' act. Why? Probably because they were still grouchy over the fact that they had to find a way to get clean after this...

"UGH! That's a REAAAAL specific seta THINGS there, Prissy! What is that your fantasy!? Everyone knows that prince charmings are... Ugh. Just ugh!" A baseless stereotype, considering the princess the sewer gremlin was now protecting was...

Dresses like a commoner.

"Nice to meet ya, Uri. Now git. Outta. My. FACE!" The foul smelling and foul-mood gremlin sneered grouchily, wriggling their noodle arms at Uri defensively! It looked goofy- the smell however was...

Pungent.

They did shoot Izette a bit of a glare at the 'people judge people on what they wear' comment. Though they nodded along with Lithos's words..

Free medical. Least there was something good coming out of this.
(Poppy)
[21:21] Uri smiled at the lot of them, responding to both the Princess and Lithos. "It'll be no issue to mend your retainers. I'd only request additional kits if I happen to run out." Now he did not like fighting, but he was as skilled as his sister Faira, only wishing he could use his flames to protect those around. Those willing to defend, people like the three before him who decided to become Retainers.

"Suppose this only means I'd be your assigned Medic for the time, no?" He took a glance at the retainers.

"If anything, I'll fight if needed. My flames are used to defend, or well, they will one of these days," he glanced to the side.

"A tournament... It already sounds like good business for Osrona, bringing in coin for entrée fees if they had'em…" Already he was starting to like this group of retainers as well as the princess. Already he's sparred with Alexander and many others, but he's yet to see the potential of all those before him.

----Now, the buttons of his old Therian blood had been pushed... As he'd react to Poppy from a snap of his movements, attempting to catch her oodles and noodles of arms. "... Nice face, but I will fight if pushed. Even a Phoenix has its reactions," he teased, letting go if he actually caught her.
(Uri Sanctum)
[21:21] Lithos says, "Mmm... I could go for a nice entrée right about now."
[21:22] Poppy smells like literal horse manure, and is a slow slow bean. Uri catches them easily, and is now sharing in that dreadful stench. They reee with displeasure!
(Poppy)
[21:23] Izette would chuckle a small bit at that sudden sarcasm, "Hey, that doesn't sound so bad. You never know what could await you on the other side of that door, hah. Might be a.. frog or something."

They could never imagine what it felt like being some kind of royalty. It was foreign to them, but they also knew it could be sort of a hassle. Seeing how Marie was, Izzy was starting to understand why Poppy liked being free and what not.

"And don't mind, Pops. I'll deal with them.. They'll be all better soon enough, yep."

The constant talk about the tournament did somewhat interest the Belle, though. Yet, if they were to join, they had to at least become a little bit stronger. How much stronger they could become before the day was over? They had no idea, but if they felt comfortable, then perhaps they'd entertain the idea.

"Well, since we're here.. Care to show us how well you can dance, Princess?" A smile covered their visage.
(Izette Belle)
[21:31] Marie listened to Poppy pop off with describing her name - the enraged sewer rap using words she'd never heard. Nonya? Beez-knees? Why did Beez-knee's matter? Marie looked genuinely confused, but thoroughly amused at the antics of Poppy, and felt like she was getting an understand for the figure... Even if the stench, the longer Marie stood next to them, was slowly staining her clothes and maybe even making her hair discolor.

How'd she stomach it? It probably had to do with eating the raw pork - it fried her tongue, and changed her perception in a single bite. Disturbing.

"You can be my assigned medic if you want, Uri - no need to fight though. You said you're against it right? Totally fine if you don't." Giving him the out, Marie smiled - and then glanced at Izette. I-Z-E-T-T-E. As they offered Marie to show off her dance skills.

Almost immediately her cheeks turned a faint shade of scarlet, and she'd slowly step away - as if she heard something. "What's that? Oof, a bell from the Castle. Tragic. Only Royals can hear it's tones. So beautiful. It calls me home.

You guys have to go get Pops a bath and tooth brush anyways right? You should really go do that. They're going to sneak out of the deal if you don't - that'd be tragic." Making up every excuse to escape from dancing, she'd slowly walk backwards across the dojo floor.

Ready to make a quick exit, if she had too.

[21:33] Poppy whispers something.
[21:33] Poppy exclaims, "Instead of DANCING let's go show her where we're going to have our own BASE. THIS PLACE AINT NO DUMB BALLROOM!"
[21:34] Marie ras Petrakis whispers something.
[21:34] Poppy glares at Marie. Just GLARES at her!
(Poppy)
[21:34] Marie glares back. Can apparently be sassy sometimes.
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[21:34] Lithos really thought 'dancing' meant 'sparring'. Oh well.
(Lithos)
[21:36] What.

"I-I didn't mean actual dancing, I meant.. fighting.." A hand would raise to rub at their face, another chuckle escaping their lips, "I take it you can't dance, then? Or perhaps you don't like to.. Don't you have to do that at those big fancy thingies?" They tilted their head slightly.

"Alright.."
(Izette Belle)
[21:36] Lithos says, "Oh. I thought so."
[21:37] Poppy says, "... What royal can't dance! Pffft! She probably just doesn't like dancing. Considering she dresses like US."
[21:37] Poppy whispers something.
[21:38] Marie would squint. "....I can dance. It's just very embarrassing. I didn't know you meant fighting...A-And I haven't been to big fancy things, ever. It'll be my first time dancing in front of people.." The Princess mumbles in response - head dropping down in defeat as she felt she'd made a fool of herself.

"A-Anyways. A base?...You said you have a base?"
(Marie ras Petrakis)
[21:38] Marie ras Petrakis whispers something.
[21:38] Marie ras Petrakis whispers something.
[21:38] Lithos says, "Yeah. Nice place."
[21:38] Poppy whispers something.
[21:38] Marie ras Petrakis whispers something.
[21:38] Poppy whispers something.
[21:40] Looking between the two. Uri would speak, hoping he would get the chance to prove himself, before accepting the offer of being a medical retainer of some sort to the young princess. "I'd want to prove myself... If that's ok, so, I'll dance if that's fine? I guess?----Ugh...Uhnm..Kraus Eternia ….What is that hellish smell?!"

He covered his nose, but the scent was still there! His face made a painful change according to his expression. As well as his reaction to the smell. D:
