"Then don't do it alone." Jet pulled her into a hug as she gently pat her back, "If they won't help you in the palace, then we'll find a way. There's spells to mask your magik aura and places we can hide you. But don't forget, you must have some destination if you're running away. Even if it's only the horizon you're running to. Otherwise you'll never stop, and you'll always look back at that which drove you away. I hate to see you saddened like this Sist..er Elia. Th-tha-that's what women of the cloth are called right sister?"

"I...I need some time to get things ready so I can leave. But that means I have to go back for a least a day or two. We need some way to plan this, so once I'm ready to leave we can meet somewhere and really start the plan."
I have to get my earrings, and my coat. They're the only things I have left of my home.

"Just be careful, ya hear? They'll probably have more guards watching over you, and this escape must be well thought out." Jet leaves the embrace to wipe away her own tear, hoping Elia didn't see it.

Mesmerized? Okay...
Arcturus, not entirely sure of what to do, spirited away his armor before doing a very slow hula dance.

"Jet, you're the only person I know who cares about helping me get out of this situation. I owe you, and someday I'll find a way to repay you. I'll get out of there somehow, no matter how long it takes. And I won't let anyone talk me out of it either, Jet. I promise."
You don't have to cry.

Pearl's eyes fixed on Arcturus as he did a slow hula dance. She was so completely focused on it she didn't stop staring for the two hours it took to put on all the make up. When they were done Pearl had glittering gold and smoky shadows to compliment her now entirely blue body. Page signaled for Arcturus to stop now that it was nighttime and Pearl's stomach grumbled.
---
"You won't owe me a damn thing when all is said and done. Just find some happiness." Jet said as she composed herself. "Sorry all the emotion out here was starting to get to me."

"Someone's hungry..." Arcturus smiled as he walked over to Pearl and wrapped his arm around her. "Why don't we get something to eat?"

"B-but the surprise! I was good and didn't even move once!"
"I think we're all a little hungry." Page commented as she observed the moon. Valkyrie took everyone back to the dinning hall. Where Pearl was snuggling herself onto Arcturus' lap to eat the steaming dinner prepared.

"No Jet, I will owe you. But I'll respect your wishes, and I won't bring it up," Elia said.

"I'll tell you the secret tonight, in private." Arcturus whispered in her ear before bringing her up and sitting her down in the seat to his right.
At least the paint's dry.
"Page, what happens tomorrow, since you already got her all dressed up today?" He asked as the covered platters were brought to the table.

"Well the dance is still set for the day after, so if I had to guess I'm going to say practice and pampering. Of course the practice must be done alone."
Pearl bit into a loaf of bread as she contently rest her head on Arcturus' shoulder.
---
"Well then I don't know about you, but I could go for dinner. Want to head back?"

"Dinner? How long was I unconscious?" Elia asked.

"What kind of dance does she need to learn?" Arcturus continued questioning Page as he in turn rested his head on Pearl's. "If I could watch, I'd be delighted."

"Several hours." Jet stated after they reappeared in the dinning hall. Jet took the seat next to Pearl as Page was rejoined by Plant, Gil, Waters and Slash.
"You'll get to see it when everyone else does~" The five sung in practice to get in harmony.

"Now do you... think you could beat me in a singing competition~?" Arcturus sang in a theatre-style baritone as he stood up. "I'm sorry to say that there's quite a large partition, but you're welcome to try~! Now don't try to die~! In this splendorous, singing competition~!"

Oh no...not this again.
Elia was going to just slide down in her seat and try to ignore Arcturus, but then she saw a small loaf of bread sitting in front of her. She picked it up, and waited for the right moment.
This should distract him. Heads up, Arcturus!
While Arcturus was looking in the other direction, she threw the loaf of bread, hitting him in the back of the head. Elia quickly went back to acting normal, before Arcturus could start looking for whoever threw the bread at him.
I hope they don't rat me out. But even if they do, it's worth it if it distracts him for long enough to forget about the competition. Last time he did this, it took Hestus' intervention to shut him and Graceius up. They had been competing for hours... |

"Ow, what the hell~!" Arcturus continued singing in perfect key before turning to Pearl. "Who threw that, will you tell~? The loaf of bread that struck my head that hurt like...
Arcturus struggled to find another rhyming word before giving up and rhyming a word with itself.
"hell~!"

Mercury joined the five as they began singing back in perfect harmony, "Sing against us~? You'll need all the help you can get~! In this wondrous hall~ We'll charm you with our voices, try not to cry over your poor choices~!" Alucard suddenly joined in with a bass low enough to meet the famed Ravescroft, "And none shall contend in the merriment without I~. For you know not who's voice you challenge in this decree~!" Before Tafl could join with his bass and as Rhea's angelic voice came out Jet intervened, "Can we please save the musical theater for after dinner?"

"Not until there has been declared a winner~!" Arcturus sang-shouted at Jet as he summoned Lenna for dramatic effect. "I have the greatest voice~! I am the perfect choice~! So the winner must be me~e~e~e!!! This... I... DECREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
And with that last note, Arcturus sat back down in his chair and quickly stuffed his face with a buttered roll.

"Do you honestly consider that gold~? Someone's being a little too bold~! You counldn't hold a candle to us~! The best you could pilfer~ Is~ Si~i~i~i~lver~!"
"Enough, enough! If you don't stop this now It'll go till dawn!
Sleep for none and you'll not fawn,
Over my plans of hellish torment!
And I'll not wait till the next segment!" Before they could sing again Jet threw six dinner rolls into their mouths, instigating a food fight and failing to stop the singing. After two hours of chaos and merriment in the hall things finally settled down. Pearl was clapping in her seat with a big smile and miraculously no food on her. "Again, again! That was so fun!"
"You're always so cute Pearl." Said Wha-Wha who Pearl was sitting on as Wha-Wha began playing with her ears.
