Romance RP

(Aww but Ryan says that's not the case.  He just thinks she would have acted rashly but that's not the same as being harsh and cruel.  I'll go back to Alex and Nerine for a while since we can assume that Ryan will be sleeping.  XD)

Meanwhile, Alex continued to enjoy spending the morning with Nerine and holding her in his arms, he softly said,

"This is nice, darling.  I like just spending time with you like this, the two of us."

(Getting sleepy here and I have to get up early for work tomorrow so I'll get off for the night now.  I'll check back tomorrow and post again.  Nite, nite, Love.  ^^)

(Aww I understand but Lisianthus is having trouble getting that idea. XD Nite, nite, phoenix. ^^)

Nerine smiled softly back at Alex and replied,

"Me too. Your company is the most thing I enjoy in the world, you know."

She paused then getting a worried expression, she replied, "Do you think Ryan and Lisianthus would be talking by now?"

Alex nodded and replied, "Yeah, probably.  They seem to have a lot that they need to talk about so it's probably going to take a while.  We should let them have their space.

In the meantime, what would you like to do, darling?  I'm perfectly happy resting here with you."

Nerine looked thoughtful then replied,

"I'm perfectly happy just staying here too. I don't feel like going anywhere and I want to do nothing but enjoy your company anyways."

Alex nodded happily and replied, "Sure, that sounds perfect to me."

As he continued to hold Nerine happily in his arms, he asked, "When we get home, what's the first thing you want to do, darling?"

Nerine smiled happily and replied,

"I know. I want to see Mom and Dad and maybe make a big dinner for all of us. I miss them very much and I miss our family gatherings."

Alex smiled softly and replied, "Me, too.  Then we'll have a nice family dinner with the four of us.  After all of this excitement, we could sure use some quiet, right?"

Nerine nodded and replied,

"That's so true. I could surely use some peace and quiet life after all that happened."

(Ahh do you want to skip this part until it's lunchtime or until Ryan wakes up? XD)

(Yeah, sure.  Let's go on to lunchtime.  XD)

Alex and Nerine continued to spend the morning peacefully in each other's arms and before they knew it, it was about time for lunch.  Hearing his stomach grumble, Alex chuckled sheepishly and said,

"I think my stomach is telling me it's time to eat."

(Ok. XD)

Nerine giggled happily and replied,

"Alright then, it's around lunchtime anyways so the others must be waiting for us. Let's head to the dining room and get something to eat."

She got out of bed and waited for Alex to do the same so they could go together downstairs.

Alex got out of bed and once he held on gently to Nerine's arm, he led the way out of their room and to the dining room.  Once they arrived, Alex helped Nerine into her seat and as he took his seat beside her, he looked around to see who else had arrived.  He hoped that Lisianthus and Ryan would be there since that would mean that they had resolved their problems.

In the dining room, only Avi as well as Rosaline and Bryan were there. Duchess Irene was still at the academy and Lisianthus was nowhere to be found.

Avi smiled to the couple and said, "Hey, you two. I am glad you're here. I don't know where everyone else is."

Alex replied, "I see."

He looked at Nerine in confusion, as he was certain that Lisianthus and Ryan would be there.

Nerine looked confused as well, as she thought that at least one of them would be there. But as it was, none of them seemed to be about to show up.

A maid then came and asked if the party would like lunch to be served.

Bryan spoke up and nodding, he replied,

"Yes, please, miss."

After the maid left, Bryan said, "It's unusual not to see Ryan here.  I hope he's all right.  I didn't see him after breakfast."

Rosaline looked worried as well and replied, "Maybe something is keeping him busy? But he would have told us, right?"

Nerine glanced at Alex, wondering if he felt worried too that neither of Lisianthus and Ryan showed up.

Bryan nodded although he didn't say anything.

Alex, too, was worried and decided to use his telepathy to contact Ryan, wondering where he was.  However, he didn't receive a reply.  Leaning in to Nerine's ear, he whispered,

"I tried to contact Ryan just now but he didn't reply."

Nerine looked even more worried and whispered back,

"Oh my. Could something have happened between him and Sia? Things didn't get even worse between them, did they?"

She paused then quietly said, "Maybe we can ask the maid about them? If she had seen either of them?"

Alex whispered, "Yes, that's a good idea.  When the maid returns, I'll ask her if she knows anything about where either one of them are."

Nerine nodded and a little later, a few maids entered the dining room carrying trays of lunch and laid it out on the table in front of the party.

Bryan thanked the maids as they brought lunch in and Alex turned to the maid closest to him and asked,

"Miss, would you happen to know where either Sia or Ryan are?"

The maid replied,

"Ahh Sir Ryan is in the head healers' room. I think he wasn't feeling well earlier so a couple of soldiers helped him there and Her Majesty was with them. But he is ok now as I heard; just resting. But I don't know where Her Majesty went after that. She left the room about an hour later."

Alex nodded and replied, "I see.  Thank you, miss."

He looked deep in thought, wondering what had happened with Ryan and Lisianthus had talked earlier.  He figured that it had to be pretty bad for Ryan to have ended up in the healers' room.

Nerine was surprised and worried as well, wondering what happened between them two. The maid then bowed and took her leave.

Rosaline was shocked to hear that Ryan was in the healers' room and looking quite worried, she said,

"Ryan's is in the healers' room? What could have happened to him?"

Bryan shook his head and replied, "I have no idea but we should go see him after lunch."

Alex turned to Nerine and said, "I-I wonder what happened to Sia."

(Getting sleepy here so I'll get off for the night now and go to sleep.  I'll check back tomorrow and post again.  Nite, nite, Love.  ^^)
