The town was alive with movement as it reached midday and everyone was on lunch break from work or released from school, you could feel the excitement for the weekend and the relief from the people. Walking through the crowd with his tail swaying back and forth, Zidane made his way across the courtyard towards his home. Smiling from having successfully stealing an apple from a merchant earlier that day he pulled it out and bit into the skin enjoying the taste. "That was defintely worth it." Zidane had come back to the base only to grab his dagger and his cloak for tonight's training, what he had planned was to work on his climbing and stealth movements.
For some reason he had this nagging feeling that he was forgetting something and for the life of him he couldn't seem to put his finger on it, "Well maybe I'll remember whatever it was later." Walking out of the side exit into the alley he swung his cloak onto his back and popped up the hood. Looking above him he ran to the opposite wall and started to wall run up it jumping over the the railing of balconey he vaulted over the side and ran up the stairs. Reaching the top of the building he ran to the edge and jumped the gap to the other buildings roof. Upon hitting the roof he performed a forward roll and continued back on his feet, in his mind he started laying out his route to the warehouse which he would break into and steal some simple supplies. *Game time Zidane, Let the game begin.*

Inspecting the buildings around him and making sure he was going to be heading in the direction of the warehouse, Zidane moved the edge of the roof. It was about three quarters of a mile to the warehouse by using the streets, by using the rooftops and every once and awhile moving to the streets he should shorten the distance by half. Feeling the warm breeze against his face Zidane hopped backwards a good distance, wearing a mischievous smile he sprinted towards the edge of the building pushing off the edge of the roof twisting in a corkscrew motion smoothly landing on the next roof and keeping his momentum continued his way across the building.
Performing various vaults over chimneys and other roof obstacles he reached the edge of the roof and instead of jumping across he dropped down onto the side stairs and grabbed the side of the railing vaulting over the edge keeping his hands on the railing twisted his body to bring his feet back against the outside of the bars he adjusted his hands and slide down the bottom of the railing and planted his feet on the lower stories railing. Zidane continued this movement till he dropped to the street and pulled his hood over his eyes to hid his face as he melded into the crowd swiftly and smoothly moving to the alleyway across the ways. Once he reached the alleyway he sprinted towards the trash cans and jumped on top of them using them as a spring to hop over a 10 foot wall that separated the alleyway, rolling once he landed he was able to keep his momentum and used it to perform a wall run to get high enough to grab the lower railing of side stairs and swing up onto the stairs.
Zidane ran up the stairs all while smiling as his adrenaline took over his body and filled him with energy, once he reached the roof he surveyed his location to determine his progress. He had covered a majority of the distance and the warehouse was about a block away now he could see the rooftop from where he was and the sky light windows seemed to be a perfect entrance for his mission. Zidane made his new route to get to a location which would give him a overview of the warehouse so he could scope out the area for how tight the security is and any dangers he might face. After some exciting parkour movements and some acrobatic flair he reached his position on the neighboring rooftop and made sure to crouch low and have his hood hide his face from sight. The security on the outside seemed pretty lax which lifted the burden of the breaking and entering, making sure to note the rotation of the guards he waited for the gap between shifts and with well timed leap he made it on top of the roof of the ware house.
Keeping low to the roof Zidane moved over the to sky light windows and looked into the building, it was filled with different boxes of all shapes and sizes. From this simple glance he could tell that the security was beefed up inside more than it was on the outside but he was able to atleast find three different ways of entering the building. *Ok Zidane got to remember the supplies I need are just some potions and if I can find some fruit for the gang that would be a killer bonus.* With a determination in his eyes Zidane began to formulate his plan of action.
Zidane would notice that he has 3 possible routes of entry. One via the skylight on the roof, another through the large service doors at the front yard or through the side office door that is between the warehouse and another building.
A.) The Skylight: One skylight appears to be broke, its lock rusted away allowing it be accessed easily. It appears to be a far drop down to the nearest crate below. It would seem the guards are not paying much attention to the ceiling or rooftops, suggesting it would be an easy infiltration. That being said, the hinges on the skylight look corroded and possibly noisy - only way to know would be to open it. Also, getting back out through this entrance appears to be impossible, even for one as agile as Zidane. Chance of detection: unknown
B.) The Freight Door: The freight doors appear heavily guarded, with 1 standing watch beside it and another 2 in the yard on regular patterned patrols. They are equipped with torches and appear armed, however their diligence seems lacking stemming from terribly boredom. One guard near the personnel door embedded in the freight door looks to be struggling to stay awake. The area is well lit also, heavy shadows are cast and all guards are within eye-shot or earshot of any point in the yard. Chance of detection: High
C.) The Side Door: The side door is located in a alley between the warehouse and another building that connects the main yard with the rear of the property. There is one light above it and no guards on patrol. There is a grime encrusted window beside the door and you could swear you saw a light quickly streak across from somewhere beyond. The door appears locked and would take a short time to pick, if anyone was directly on the other side, they would likely hear it. What's beyond is unknown, likely an office but too difficult to ascertain from your current position. You have no clue about guard movements behind the door. Chance of detection: Moderate to high.
Choose which path you take and how Zidane goes about it. Be detailed about his movements and actions. Your actions will affect the outcome.
We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
Zidane’s master plan was that he would come in through the skylight but he needed to make sure he had a way out in case of some funny business. “After all you should always know your escape route in case things turn south.” Moving to the side of the building he looked down and saw a doorway in the alley that looked to lead towards a office inside the warehouse it had one light over it but it seemed like there wasn’t any guards to look after it. “Hmm this might be a trap for thieves or they possibly have a back up security inside the building for that room.”
Dropping down into the alley he snuck up to the door making sure to have his lock picking set ready, ducking underneath the window and keeping to the side of the door he quickly went to work. Once he heard the click of the lock tumblers locking into place he tried the door handle but not opening the door, the door handle was unlocked which gave him his escape route if he needed one. Making sure to be silent he made his way back up to the roof of the warehouse.
“Ok I can see the office from here but I can’t tell if there is anything inside of it, but that is the way I need to go if I need to get away.” Making note of the office for future reference Zidane made his way back to the skylight that had its lock rusted off. “This looks like a 50/50 chance of working, it’s obviously rusted out and the hinges look even worse.” Inspecting the hinges he could clearly tell that there was a good chance they would betray him if he even so much lifted this window up. Trying to think of some way of reducing the noise that could be made from opening the window he first went to the hinges with his dagger chipping off rust and grime to clean them up.
After he cleaned up the hinges as much as he could he tore some of his cloak and wrapped them around the hinges so that it would muffle the noise made from opening the skylight. Once he was satisfied with his measures he looked back into the warehouse, Taking note of the patterns of the guards he opened the skylight. There was a slight squeak from the hinges but it seemed to have not alerted the guards inside, Zidane noticed that he could swing his body to the rafters of the warehouse if he lowered his self into the building then swung his body over to the rafters.
Making sure to keep a good grip he slowly lowered himself down into the warehouse adjusting his body to start swinging he kicked his legs out and begun the momentum needed to reach the first rafter. Once he felt he had the needed momentum Zidane let go flying through the air and grabbed onto the edge of the rafter quickly pulling himself up and moving to the darkest area of the ceiling in case someone heard him, Which it would seem that no one had. *So far so good, Now to find those potions.* Scanning the area, Zidane saw the creates that had the symbol for fruit and looking the other direction he saw the crates that had the symbol of potions.
Both of these items were on either side of the building and it would involve a lot of time and patience if he wanted to get both of them. Looking around once more for the guards he noticed that these guards were abnormally heavily armed for just a simple supply warehouse. *What on earth could be in here that these guards are needed to protect it?* Zidane’s face lit up with excitement as visions of national treasures and government secrets ran through his mind, *Maybe I’ll find rubies or some material.* Zidane began to look around hoping to catch sight of something that was out of place or maybe had a bit higher security then the rest of the building.

It was nice to be back in Alexandria after that awful encounter with August Krasnow. Today Garnet decided to dress in her usual orange jumpsuit with white blouse today, there was no need for formal wear. Regal duties needed to be taken care of but right now she wanted to check out the inner workings of Alexandria. The first item on the agenda was to check the warehouses and other storage units. She was accompanied by two of her female Alexandrian Knights who stuck close by her. She was grateful for their presence and after the business at her sixteenth birthday she supposed the constant guarding was needed. As she approached the warehouse doors she looked to the young man on the door who promptly opened it for her. She smiled and looked back to her knights.
"Thank you, I will be fine from this moment on."
From the expressions on their faces the young Queen could tell they weren't very happy about leaving her but they weren't about to argue with her either. Garnet smiled once more before stepping inside the warehouse. She had never seen anything like this before being cooped up inside the castle constantly studying and preparing to take the throne. For all of the homework she had done they hadn't prepared her for what happened that night or even the confrontation with August.
While moving to another rafter to get closer to the potions, the guards started to act strangely as if something had caught their attention. Making sure to be in a well concealed spot Zidane noticed the security started to head towards the front of the building, *Wonder what’s going on over there?* Zidane’s curiosity almost got the best of him but he was able to keep focused on now that the guards were moved to the front of the building there were only 2 guards keeping watch over the potions that he needed to get ahold of and they weren’t being diligent in their duties. *Alright I just have to wait for the gap in their patrol routes and get the potions then I’ll dash inbetween those crates over there since that guard is at the front of the building at the moment.* Looking down the two guards crossed each other’s path ever 4 minutes, If he lowered himself down now he wouldn’t be able to get back to the rafters without skylining himself on top of the crates. Zidane took a few moments to decide if this was a smart idea, He would lose his hiding place and the ease of movement through the warehouse.
*Wait I’ll just check and see if the path to the office is clear and then I’ll memorize the path there so that If I have to escape I know where I’m going.* Smiling he scrambled across the rafters making sure to keep an eye on the guards that were in the area memorizing the path to the office door, which the office itself had a light on but it was a small candlelight and there wasn’t any guards patrolling on the catwalk outside of it. “Well that’s strange, but I won’t doubt good luck.” Mumbling Zidane returned to his earlier it had been about 2 minutes since he left so he made sure the area was still under guarded and luckily it seemed it was, the guards routes hadn’t changed and pulling his dagger out and gripping it in his mouth. Waiting for his chance to move he lowered his body down till he was hanging upside down but his tail with his feet against the bottom of the rafter, If anyone saw him it would look like he was standing upside on the rafter. Smiling the time came he released his grip and let his body take a forward momentum making sure to land on his feet in a way that the noise would be silent and minimal, Luckily a skill he had perfected from previous thefts.
Grabbing his dagger he wedged it under the lid of the crate and quickly pulled up opening the lid wide enough for him to reach in and grab some potions. The design on the potions were different than what he was use to but it still was a health potion but it seemed to be in a higher more concentrated dose. *Why is this in a simple warehouse?* This stuff was usually used for healing major wounds and injuries not the minor scrapes and bruises that he had come looking for. Quickly pocketing his bounty Zidane dashed into the gap between the crates that lead to a boxed in section of the crates that wasn’t visible unless you had high ground so the worry about being found by the two patrolling guards was gone. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts he knew he needed to get out of here or atleast find a better way to get around the building his risk factor had gone up considerably. Looking around there was a small gap big enough for him to crawl under and it seemed to be some lucky placement from the crates that allowed for a small person to move through the area decently unnoticed taking his chance crawled through the hole.
Coming out to the other side into a dead end of an area, there were two walls on either side of him and the wall he had just crawled underneath behind him to the front of him was open and he could see two guards standing in front of him. Zidane had to throw his hand over his mouth so that he didn’t let out a small gasp that would have gave away his position. Quickly looking around he decided he had no choice but to climb up to the top of the crates, using his agility and nimbleness he made short work of the crates reaching the top without little noise. The guards looked around hearing something behind them not thinking to look up they found nothing out of the usual, looking back towards the crawlspace they mumbled to each other how the Rats in the warehouse where getting big and that they were a constant annoyance. Sighing Zidane looked around the area keeping low so that he wouldn’t sky line himself he could see a small posse of people moving towards the office. In the middle of the group was a girl, orange jumpsuit white blouse cute real cute. Staring longer then he should have he knocked off some stray object onto the floor and before he could catch it, it shattered against the floor alerting the guards to the area. Trying to slowly crawl backwards so that he wouldn’t be in the general area he backed into another crate causing it to rock and slowly teeter beyond reach. *Well…Fuck…* Zidane stood up and quickly dashed along the crates as the other crate smashed into the floor its contents scattering across the floor.
*Run, Run, Run.* That was the only thought that was going through Zidane’s mind, *I have to get to the office.* Changing direction as the guards finally started shouting out his location and movement he had to dodge variously thrown objects, Finding some cover Zidane realized that he was about 10 meters from the crate of fruit that he needed to grab for his friends and that he was about 5 meters from the office. If he ran to the crate and grabbed the fruit for his friends he would most likely have to fight his way out or atleast have to be creative with his escape but if he ran to the office he could escape and be gone in moments once he reached the alleyway. *Freedom or friends?* Smiling his mind already made up Zidane rolled out of his cover and dashed along the top of the crates sliding on the last stretch of crates down into the walkway where the crate was using his dagger once more to left the lid he quickly grabbed the fruit. The guards flooded into the small walkway blocking off the two directions of his escape the only way to go was up, and the guards knew it they immediately rushed his position. Ducking under one of the guards hands he rolled inbetween his legs, making sure to sweep his legs out in a 360 motion he managed to knock the first guard and the one behind him onto the ground, keeping with the momentum Zidane jumped onto the wall of crates kicking off on side and kicking of the opposite side he reached the top of the crates quickly.
*Office MOVE!* Booking towards the office which was 15 meters away Zidane poured on the speed and all the different acrobatic movements he could possibly think of. *I better make this.*

She rarely wore her hair freely and it wasn't her style so she quickly placed the clip back in at the bottom of her hair. The guards had come into the warehouse and they seemed on edge. Garnet looked between them and began to walk through the warehouse, it was almost deathly quiet which set the hairs on the back of her neck up. A cold shiver ran down her spine and she promptly wrapped her arms around her torso.
"I shall be making my way up to the office, I would like to see how things are run here."
In her most regal voice Queen Garnet began to make her way up the stairs to the office, the small heels on her boots clicked against the stairs and for a brief second she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. Garnet turned her had quickly but if anything had been there it was gone now. She caught her breath and opened the door to the office. Garnet only took several steps into the office when she thought she heard something or someone. A small gasp escaped her lips as her dark brown eyes scanned the room.
Zidane successfully passed into the office with ease, avoiding detection as a literal thief in the night. He finds himself in an otherwise unremarkable warehouse office, dusty and with a peculiar smell. A few worn chairs are nestled up against battered desks. A calendar on the wall is a few years out of date, with years and dates crossed out and new ones rewritten in with a variety of different colored inks. The door Zidane had unlocked earlier was just a quick dart away from his current position but just as his moment to bolt passed, someone entered the office with him.
Queen Garnet has not seen Zidane yet, but Zidane can clearly see her from the darkness he’s hiding in. The door is 3 meters away both Zidane and Garnet, between you both. There’s one desk Zidane could slink over to before bolting out the door to mask his escape.
(Admin: Both PM a number between 1-10, if your numbers are within 1 point between each other, Zidane can escape before Garnet reacts. If numbers are greater than 1 point between each other, Garnet can opt to spot the intruder as she finds the light switch. If your numbers match, Zidane rustles a filing cabinet and summons a dark fiend from the depths of blue-collar hell.)
(Admin:Garnet rolled a 7, Zidane rolled a 3. Garnet can successfully spot Zidane.)
After a moment, Garnet spots a gas switch beside the door. A soft, near unnoticeable glow emanates from a pilot softly burning from a lamp hanging from the ceiling. A quick turn of the switch would quickly illuminate the room, dispersing the shadows instantaneously. Zidane on the other hand, somehow choked, caught between escaping and gazing at the beautiful princess that was now in his presence. His time to bolt passing in an instant. All he could hope for now was that the woman decided she had heard nothing and turned around – though any smart thief would know he was now was caught. All he could do was wait for the inevitable. Maybe he could hide under a desk, hope she was blind, or maybe she was forgiving? A dashing, lovable rogue like him might be able to woo the fair maiden. Girls liked the dark and mysterious types, right?
We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.

He was like a ninja the way he moved but luck seemed to be on Garnet's side. She reached out her hand to this..wait he had a tail he couldn't be a normal human. Queen Garnet shook her head lightly and then forced a light smile to her face. It was hard trying to be formal but feeling petrified at the same time.
Zidane had been slow to act in making his move towards the door he had earlier unlocked for his escape and now here he was seen by the Queen, *Wait what the hell!* Looking over at the Queen he could see that she was extremely cute and his flirtatious side started to come out, shaking his head he turned towards the queen hoping that she wouldn’t raise any alarm and call for the guards. He still continued to slowly but surely inch closer to the door just in case she screamed or something. “Um Hi Garnet or majesty um ya.” Smiling his cocky smile that he was known for he hoped he would be able to distract her long enough to get away. “Don’t worry I may not be Full human but I am not some Monster.”

She tried so hard not to show any sort of fear on her face but being thrust into such a superior position at a young age, it was hard not to drop her guard some days. She pressed her back against the door and kept her hazel eyes onto the intruder. Maybe he wasn't just some intruder...maybe he was sent to assassinate her...or maybe he was a thief.
"I...I see..."
Garnet suddenly felt her cheeks heat up and in a knee jerk reaction she raised her hand to her left cheek to feel the heat radiate from it, it was a similar heat to when she had first laid eyes on Shizuma and Ryun. At sixteen her hormones were running wild and it was difficult to control them! She shook her head letting her long dark hair bounce off the bottom of her back. Taking a deep breath Garnet stood up straight and cleared her throat. She needed to have an air of authority around her until she had someone back her up. I mean he is kinda cute she thought, that blonde hair and his buld were...wait stop that!
"As Queen of Alexandria I must ask you why you have broken into one of our warehouses, thievery is a crime punishable by imprisonment."
Zidane smiled with his hands up he had noticed the queen blushing, *Wait she is a girl after all.* Hoping to get to know her just a bit better before dashing out the door and getting the blue blazes out of here, Zidane took his dagger off his belt laying it on the ground he slid it towards Garnet. “As proof I didn’t come here to hurt anyone there is my only weapon.” Smiling he put his hands down and walked into the light so that Garnet could see him comepletely and be able to see his face better. “Stealing?” Zidane’s face looked a bit sad at the accusation and he shook his head, “Why my beautiful queen I only came here on a rumor that our young and gorgeous queen would be visiting this very warehouse.” Letting his smile shine and turning on the charm Zidane took a few steps closer, “And Belle the rumors were true, you are as pretty as they say.”
“Now if you must arrest me, I will gladly be taken in by someone as cute as you.” Zidane continued his slow approach across the floor, at this point he was already in front of where he had slid his dagger and was only about two feet away from Garnet now. Holding his hand out Zidane spoke softly, “My name is Zidane Tribal and I am part of the theater group Tantulas, Come see us perform sometime.” With those last words Zidane quickly as he could dashed to Garnet and kissed her on the cheek smiling he turned and scooped up his dagger and burst out the door into the alleyway using the same path he had earlier that night he climbed the railing and was on the rooftop in no time. Zidane smiled and stayed on the edge of the roof kind of hoping Garnet would come out or possibly come see him at their base, *That probably wasn’t my smartest move.*

She closed her eyes briefly as Zidane kissed her cheek. She immediately turned beetroot red and spun herself around as he exited the office door. The young Queen touched her cheek lightly and without thinking about it she ran after the....monkey man? She wasn't entirely sure what he was but he was...something.
"Wait! Umm...Zidane where are you going?"
Queen Garnet didn't even look at her knights or give them any notice as she pushed open the door into the alleyway, she looked around frantically trying to spot him. Where could he have gone? Why did she even care? Her heart was beating loudly in her chest as took in large gulps of air. She looked up and just managed to see Zidane's tail as he climbed onto the roof
"Zidane stop! Don't run away I...umm order you to stop as Queen of Alexandria."

Zidane smiled and rushed back to the base, he made sure to take an alternate path this time just in case anyone was following him atleast they would get lost in the maze of the town. Once he was sure that he wasn’t being followed he crawled back into his bed and awaited the dawn, for it would have a new adventure with it. Smiling he passed into a deep slumber having an old but familiar dream of a blue light and then seeing Tantulas’s leader’s face. Waking from all the noise from the others Zidane slowly moved to the kitchen grabbing some food and sat at the table, the morning went on as normal and his friends left the base to do various jobs around the town. This left Zidane alone to think to himself about his adventure from the night before.

He had said he was with a Theatre company what was it called again? Garnet paced her room with her hands behind her back trying to play back the coversation. It was as Garnet lay in bed that it came to her, she sat upright and yelled out Tantalus! The young Queen leaped out of her bed and quickly got dressed into her orange jumpsuit and white blouse with red ankle boots. Garnet ran a brush through her long brown hair before quickly tying it in a poytail.
The young Queen rushed down to the royal hall and looked through the books used to record all those that paid taxes to the kingdom. She moved her finger through the pages until she came across Tantalus. With a smile Garnet rushed out of the castle and headed for the address given for the Theatre group. She ran as fast as her little legs could carry her, she wasn't going to let Zidane get away without answering her questions this time.
Her slender hand pushed open the door to the group's base and she stepped inside.
"Umm hello...umm I mean...this is Queen Garnet Til Alexandros XVII, I'm...looking for Zidane..."
While Zidane was coming out of the bathroom from taking a shower he dried off his hair and started to whistle a tune when he heard someone in the base. “Hello?” Moving towards the door he put the towel on the kitchen chair and grab a shirt for him to wear, Zidane caught the end of whatever the person was saying and realized it was the Queen from last night. Zidane stopped at the corner of the wall so he could see who was all here instead of just walking into some trap but seeing as it was only Garnet he walked around the corner and started to put his shirt on, “Hey there Garnet or Queen.” Smiling he pulled his shirt down and straighten it out, “So you’re here to see little ol me huh?” Directing her towards the kitchen Zidane kept his composure. “Are you hungry we can talk over here in the kitchen, Cause frankly I didn’t expect royalty to show up.” Smiling Zidane grabbed an some fruit he had grabbed from the night before he bit into it, grabbing another he held it out to garnet for her to have if she wanted it.

The young sixteen year old Queen flushed bright pink and she spun around to avert her eyes. She had been brought up not really knowing the opposite sex, the act of courtship and wooing was still a tradition for royalty and even for some citizens. She knew the world was changing and that Alexandria needed to catch up but some things she wanted to keep the same. The rule for royalty to only marry royalty needed to be abolished but the act of courtship in her mind was still a romantic gesture. Garnet cleared her throat as she partly turned around to look at Zidane.
"Oh....no thank you..Zidane."
Garnet turned around slowly and once more averted her eyes from Zidane, he like Ryun was bringing out some different feelings within her. Ryun she had known for some time and was a kind a gentle giant almost, Zidane....he was so confident and attractive even if he wasn't exactly human. The young Queen began to walk around the base looking around trying to take in the scenery. Her right hand gently ran across the chairs around the table until she stopped just to the right of Zidane.
"You really didn't leave me much choice running off the way you did. I was in such a hurry I didn't even bring my bodyguard with me to the warehouse or today for that matter. What were you doing in Alexandria's warehouse?"

"Well Garnet, Is that ok for me to call you that or maybe I'll call you Dagger since you seem to be only carrying that as a weapon." Zidane paused for a moment and then continued, "Technically speaking I was trespassing and may or may not have been getting some things for my friends that we sorely needed." Showing a smile filled with confidence and cockiness Zidane bit into his apple and chewed his food. Walking over to the living room area he gestured to the sit next to him and smiled, "Now if you must know I was actually just training, trying out my skills against the wonderful security of the local warehouses," Sighing Zidane's mind was filled with the events of last night, "Though I did not expect to find the royal guard with the Queen of all people at some old warehouse in the middle of the night." Smiling mischievously Zidane looked Garnet up and down, "Now Dagger, May I ask what was royalty doing in a warehouse over here in the middle of nowhere filled with crates that carried such strange things?"

As Queen she needed to be so aware of her surroundings and those that took up her company. With a light sigh Garnet wrapped her arms across her chest as it became apparant Zidane was quite good with his...mouth.
"I...you must refer to me by my rightful name. It is rather long so Queen Garnet will be perfectly acceptable."
The young Queen dropped her arms to her side as she moved over to the living area, she looked around the home stead and it was quite homely if you liked that sort of thing. Like princesses before her she had grown up in a world all too different to this, the castle and royal family were effectively cut off from Alexandria and this was something Garnet wanted to rectify.
"Everything in Alexandria is the property of the royal house so I was visiting the warehouse on an off hand visit. I must make sure that Alexandria as a business and home to many runs smoothly...I...I can't stay very long I will be missed at the castle. I do however offer an invitation for you to visit the Castle so that we may....talk some more."

"So that we may talk some more?" Putting his hand to his chin and adopting a thinker's pose thoughts of many different things ran through Zidane's mind. The grand walls of the castle, the hundreds of guards patroling the interior and exterior, gates made of metal and locks said to be impossible to pick fill the halls, in more ways then one it would be the worst possible place to be trapped as a thief. SIghing to himself Zidane walked towards Garnet and stopped about a foot away, smiling Zidane looked at garnet,"A trip to the Castle to spend some quality time with a beautiful girl sounds like paradise," Zidane's tail moved side to side with excitement, "I'll join you Dagger for this date but only on one condition." Looking into Garnet's eyes Zidane moved closer till he was but a few inches from her, reaching out his hand Zidane gently took Garnets hand into his, making sure to keep eye contact Zidane smiled," That condition is to promise me that you won't betray my trust and throw me into some dungeon." Smiling Zidane held his gaze and awaited the Queen's answer.

The young Queen almost jumped backwards holding her hands in the air in a signal for you to keep your distance.
"I beg your pardon but this is not a...date. The invitation is purely to sort out this mess you have created, I must leave now I have my duties at the castle."
Garnet walked backwards heading for the door, she almost bumped into every single piece of furniture. With a little sigh she tried to hide under her breath Garnet opened the door to leave but took one last look at you before leaving.
