Allegro laid in bed, looking at the ceiling silently. "Here." Viola held out a bowl of blood to him, smiling down at the angry looking male. He snatched the bowl from her, sitting up as he turned away. Viola narrowed her eyes at him, starting to get annoyed. "The council is planning to put a worthy vampire on the throne, since your sister disgraced her reign"Viola comments. Allegro tossed the bowl past her head, startling her when it hit the wall. "And...it's no longer my business, and mind your tongue when talking about Fine before you loose it entirely"Allegro retorts glaring at her. He got to his feet, the pain lessened in his chest. He grabbed his cloak, wrapping it around his shoulders. "Wh-Where are you going?!"Viola demands. "Where do you think..."Allegro answers sighing. He opened the door, and leaped forward, his arms turning into wings. He took off into the air, gliding away, Viola staring after him before giving chase.

Lia walked through the abandoned place, wearing a purple dress, black ribbon around her waist, the ends of it hanging behind her. "Barnes?"Lia calls coming down the stairs, finding a fire started up. She froze, finding a blond haired male there, purple eyes looking at her curiously. "Lia, meet my former apprentice, Blake, he arrived an hour after we did"Barnes greets. "I heard rumors across the ice and traveled to find my mentor to tell him, but it seems like those rumors started because of you two.."Blake smiled approaching her. He took her hand, pressing a kiss to the back of it, his eyes on her. "Oh.."Lia mutters her cheeks turning pink from surprise. She stopped, Allegro flashing in her mind for a moment, causing her to snatch her hand away. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable"Blake blinked surprised. She walked past him, sitting beside Barnes, watching him cook. "What's that?"Lia asks. "Found some rabbits scurrying about"Barnes smiled looking at her.

He ruffled her hair, Lia quickly smoothing her hair down giggling. "Lia, where are you from?"Blake asks curiously. "Oh...I uh, lived in a cottage all alone in the snow, I'm a healer, I usually help travelers though..."Lia responds. "Amazing.."Blake mutters his eyes widening slightly. She blinked at him, since people weren't that impressed with healers in general, stating that they were useless if they couldn't save someone on the verge of death. "I admire healers." She perked up, finding Blake smiling at the ground. "Their knowledge of herbs and the way they're able to turn the tides of a battle the moment they join is astounding"Blake says softly. "Yeah.."Lia smiled. "Finished the rabbit stew, eat up"Barnes says beckoning to them. Lia grabbed the spoon, pouring some into a bowl. A hand touched hers, her head turning, finding Blake staring down at her. "Careful, the spoon can be hot at times"Blake warns gently, taking the spoon from her.

Barking came from behind her, Conny bounding over, and rubbing his head against her hand. "Hey buddy, I thought you were sleeping"Lia greets. "Ah, hey little guy, you're adorable"Blake laughed petting the pug. "He is, isn't he"Lia smiled. "So, how come you left your cottage?"Blake asks scooting closer to her. "I was taking someone to have his lifespan restored"Lia responds. "Ah, Winter Springs, I know that place!"Blake beamed. He tilted his head to the side, looking confused. "Who's your friend and where is he?"Blake asks curiously. "....I don't know, we got separated, I hope he's alright"Lia answers.  Lia smiled, her hair draping over her shoulders."LIA!" She turned, and stood up, her eyes widening, looking around. "LIA! CONNY!" She set her bowl down, Conny following her as she hurried to the front doors. She looked out the window, looking towards the sky, before spotting a figure flying over head. "Allegro!"Lia smiled relieved. She hurried down the steps, and threw the doors open, a cold breeze blowing through her hair.

Allegro glided through the air, his eyes scanning the ground below him. "LIA!" He dove lower, scanning around worriedly. "LIA! CONNY!" He turned, deciding to check around the building, the wind blowing through his hair and clothes. "ALLEGRO!! WE'RE HERE!" He turned his head, spotting familiar hair, relief flooding through him. He dove down, tucking his wings in, squinting his eyes. Lia's face came into view, the wind blowing through her hair, a wide smile on her face. "Allegro!"Lia smiled tears of relief falling down her cheeks. He flared his wings, smiling down at her, his expression softening. His human and Conny were safe, that was all that mattered right now, everything else he didn't care for. "Lia, get back!" A blond haired boy aimed his sword at Allegro, Lia's eyes widening. "NO! Blake, this is the person I'm helping reach Winter Springs!"Lia yells Allegro glaring at the male. Blake glared at him, lowering his sword. "Lia are you alright, I've been worried.?"Allegro asks.

"I'm alright"Lia promised. She perked up, Allegro wrapping his cloak around her, a smile back on his face. "I'm glad you're safe"Allegro comments. He understands how Fine felt now, about the human she kept protecting and running off with. The week Lia nursed him back to health interested him since he started to like the strange human, then when they started traveling together he wanted to reach the springs as soon as possible so he could take her to places she wished to see and just stay by her side. "The council is planning to put a worthy vampire on the throne, since your sister disgraced her reign." His eyes widened, now realizing what he should've done after he and Lia were split apart. He should've become king, so he could protect Lia. "Allegro." He snapped out of it, finding her smiling up at him. "Wanna head inside?"Lia asks. He smiled and nodded, grabbing her hand, startling her. She gave him a giddy smile and pulled him inside after her, Blake narrowing his eyes suspiciously. Viola scowled, then turned and flew away.
