Krystalia smiled when Hobbes wrapped his arms around her. She rested one of her hands on his for a minute, and then focused her attention on Sugarfoot. "Fast and easy please boy. He's tired." Her voice became even gentler when she mentioned Hobbes. Sugarfoot rolled his eyes but nodded his agreement before taking off with Hobbes's steed in tow.

Hobbes stiffled a yawn, and he blinked his eyes.

Addanc pushed The Man into the dungeon cell and closed it. "You're under lock and key now. We'll come back for you around dusk." she said and marched out of sight.

King Arthur sighed with relief. When Addanc came back he turned to her. "So, Hobbes is bringing back my daughter?" he asked and sheathed his sword. Addanc nodded. "Yes my Lord."

"Hobbes, you have to wake up now..." Krystalia gently tried to wake him up. "We are close enough; you have to ride your own horse now." She gently rubbed his arm.

Hobbes groaned a little in protest and withdrew his arms, dismounted Sugarfoot and mounted his own horse.

King Arthur stood waiting, he would be the first to welcome his daughter. But, should he punish her for running away?

Krystalia detached the lead from the horses bridles and stored it in her bag. "Are you ready?" she asked Hobbes. "You're going to have to watch my father yelling at me without being able to react.... And I probably will not be able to see you for a while..."

Hobbes nodded. "I'm ready," he rwplied and nodded. I hope the King cuts her some slack. Hobbes thought.

(Sorry I have really bad writers block right now.)

ooc:// that's okay =)

bic:// Krystalia squeezed Hobbes's hand, before heading off towards the castle. I'm really gonna miss him... Father's probably going to lock me up for a long time... She looked down at Sugarfoot while they were riding, he was worried too. I hope Father isn't too mad...

As soon as Hobbes and Krystalia came into view, King Arthur came running over to them. Hobbes slowed his horse to a stop as he approached, he dismounted his horse and went to kneel before him, but he stopped him. "No need for kneeling! You have brought back my daughter, and for that I thank you, Hobbes!" he said loudly and smiled at Hobbes. King Arthur then went to go greet his daughter.

Hobbes stood there, mystified. The King, thanked him.

Addanc stood back by the other knights, but gave the slightest nod of approval. "Well done, Boy." Addanc whispered and smiled a bit.

Krystalia dismounted but stayed very close to Sugarfoot, she needed his support. I cannot yield to him or be sorry. I cannot yield or I will have accomplished nothing. I can do this. Krystalia looked her father straight in the eyes without an expression on her face, "Hello, Father."

"Krystalia, you know you cased me a great deal of trouble. I nearly sent out my wholearmy just to look for you!" King Arthur esclaimed crossing his amrs nd frowning at his daughter.

"You and I both know I'm smarter than to hide somewhere out in the open where a loud, massive army would be able to find me. I was living with wolves who were protecting me. Plus, I had Sugarfoot. I was perfectly safe, Father." She stared up at him, without any intention of yielding.

King Arthur inhailed deeply, but then sighed. "Well, I guess I have been underestimating you." He said and pulled her into a hug.

(Sorry it took so long to reply!)

Krystalia relaxed a little and hugged him back, but she knew the matter was not entirely resolved. "I just wanted you to stop forcing me to be someone who I'm not. You taught me how to run the kingdom, so please stop trying to take it back and force me into a marriage. I will choose a suitor when I'm ready and I find someone who respects and loves me for who I am." She looked up at her father with eyes that were soft and loving but determined.

ooc:// that's okay. =3

King Arthur nodded. "The sooner you find one the better, I'm actually kind of ready to resign from being King. I am read to res these old bones," then he laughed. "Oh! And we need to get this boy over here knighted!" He exclaimed andpointed at Hobbes.

Hobbes stared dumbfoundly at KingAthur. "M-me?"

"Well I think it would go a lot faster if you would stop pressuring me into meetings and you would just approve the suitors to court me so I could get to know them. Besides, you're not THAT old, Father." Krystalia teased the King, smiling. "Oh and I definitely agree that he should be knighted," she said standing up straighter and appearing more regal than she had since she left.
