"Alright." Aster replied with a shrug. "That's fine."

Charlotte nodded and made her way back to her room, where she threw her book on the bed before starting to pace.

Aster went to check in with Quinn.

Charlotte sighed. "How much longer?" She groaned impatiently.

Aster knocked, and when there was no answer, opened the door. He sighed softly when he saw the young king asleep on the chair, and looked around for a blanket.

Eventually, Charlotte have up and started walking around the castle impatiently.

(by the way, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I may or may not be on much, since I'm moving from Alaska to the Midwest. So. I'll be flying, and exhausted, so my replies will be very inconsistent and slow. Sorry)

Aster tucked a blanket around Quinn gently. He drank himself into oblivion last night… He sighed softly.

(yeah, it is! Thanks!)
(Sure. I'll do it)
(Ok! Bye! Good night!)

A few hours later…
Aster had been sent to get Charlotte. He knocked on her door, feeling rather preoccupied as he thought over something. "Lottie! Time to go!" He called.

Quinn was waiting with the other three guards.

Charlotte swung her bag over her shoulder and opened the door. "It's about time," she said frustratedly.

Aster sighed softly. "Yes, well. There are more important things that needed to be dealt with." He replied curtly. "Now come along." He started walking.

Charlotte scowled. "Well," she muttered indignantly.

Aster kept walking. "Don't get mad that you are less important to me than my king and kingdom."

Charlotte rolled her eyes. "I'll get angry about whatever I please, thanks."

Aster sighed softly. "You do that." He replied, and led her over to where Quinn and the other guards were waiting to leave.

Charlotte crossed her arms, tapping her fingers against one of them.

Quinn looked up. There were shadows under his eyes, and he looked almost as if…as if he'd been crying. Though it wasn't obvious. It just sort of looked like it, and could easily have been something else.

Aster bit his lip. "Ready to go?" He asked.

Charlotte nodded quickly, glancing over at Quinn. He looked… tired, maybe? She brushed the thought aside. He never seemed to be alright.

Quinn nodded. "Yeah." He said, taking a deep breath. "We're taking horses?"
Aster nodded, then looked at Charlotte. "You can ride, right?"

Charlotte looked to the side uncomfortably. "I, er… not really."

Aster sighed. "Never mind the horses, then. We'll take a carriage."
One of the other guards went to get the carriage.
Quinn was silent.

Charlotte started tapping her fingers again to relieve nervous energy. After a moment, she turned to Quinn. "Are you - " she immediately thought better of it, and turned back away as though she hadn't said anything.

Quinn raised an eyebrow. "Am I what?" He asked, looking over at her.
Aster was silent, not butting into the conversation.

"Nothing. It was a stupid question," she replied tightly.

"… okay." Quinn replied slowly.
Aster sighed.

Charlotte went over to lean against the wall, still tapping her foot. How long does it take to move a carriage? She managed to not say out loud.

After a few minutes, the guard came back with the carriage.
Quinn got in without a word, sitting down and tucking his knees to his chest.
Aster sighed softly, and swung aboard a horse.

Charlotte slid into the opposite side of the carriage from Quinn, and immediately turned to look out the window.

Quinn was silent as the carriage rolled into motion.
Aster rode near them.

"Where are we going, exactly?" Charlotte asked quietly.
