As the Fey spoke in some what comprehension of the humans' tongue she nodded. As the woman gave a brief history she nodeed,"I see. Thank you." When the woman patted Rin's shoulder and stated soemthing about protecting somethign from a union, her brows pinched. 'Was she inferring Rin was Aiden's family in the respects of being the child of that elven woman and Aiden's uncle?' She didnt voice that though as the door behind them opened and Mercy looked behind her to see a man, scantily dressed but he looked like he carried himself well. He had heard a rumor- a guard having passed a message to him stating there was a girl, having come in from the humans' realm with an odd man to seek information for the jeweler. That was curious enough on its own- since both of his dear sisters were out there some where with those filthy humans. He went to he location, assuming he missed them but when he entered, an odd man and a girl who looked very much so like his younger sister was standing there. He gave a smile at the jeweler, since she made all his peices. "Hello, I see the little birdy was right. We do have family in town- oh and with company?"he stated in fey, his accept a bit odd. He questioned them, getting an eye brow raise from Mercy who looked the man over, he did resemble their mother. "I am mercy, daughter of Aeslacia." She stated firmly, her child high since she was proud of her relation to her mother. He chuckled. "So much like her even, I see the resemblance. I am your uncle I guess then. My name is Farvell. Greetings young ones." He stated smoothly but did glance at Rin. " can got your tongue?" He asked in fey with a chuckle only getting a frown from Mercy. "He does not speak Fey." She stated getting a thoughtful look from Farvell. "I dont know the common tongue. You might have to translate for me." He stated smoothly with a smile to Mercy who nodded. "This is apparently my uncle, some one rated on us and told him we were hear. His name is Farvell." She stated smoothly to Rin to help him understand since she knew it must have been confusing.

Rin was trying to swallow the information he had been dealt with when a new man came in. He could store it all away for now until he had a better mind to deal with it...without so many witnesses. However, this new man was talkative, speaking quickly in Fey and Rin looked a bit guarded at the sight. He looked somewhat like Mercy but she resembled most Fey in her beauty. He stuck close to her, not wishing to engage as she told him not to. However, when she stated he was an uncle Farvell, her mother’s brother, he gave a small incline of his head in greeting. “My name is Rin. I’m a friend of Mercy’s.” He said in common, but figured she would have to translate. He just kind of wondered if this man was friend or foe at the moment... ~~~ Aiden was a bit bored, having stopped his training with a poor tree nearby to sit by the camp fire with Ciel. He cleaned the blade and kept up with it, more to give him something to do other than worry. Rin and Mercy had been gone a bit, but not too long. Aiden just wasn’t sure Rin could handle that city alone. He was like a brother to Aiden and he didn’t want to see him locked up or harmed by the Fey if something went wrong. “Do you think they made it to the jeweler okay?” Aiden asked Ciel since he was nervous and felt like talking,

Farvell gave the man a smile as he spoke in human gibbering before looking to his little niece who translated smoothly. "This is Rin, he is a dear friend to me." Shw stated smoothly getting a nod her her uncle. " I see. Well, welcome home I guess, I would avoid the grandparents, rather cranky lately. They are still mad your mother left after all." He chuckled as if it were funny, even if he knew it were serious. "So, let me guess, on a mission to find out about a ring? Did this 'friend's of yours propose? How cute." He stated changing the topic. Mercy frowned ag her uncle. "No, we are close but not that close. He is trying to get information on this ring. It's important." She stated giving Rin a glance since when her uncle had asked about engagements she blushed a bit. ~~~~ Ciel was working on practicing keeping a ball of mana in his hands there by the fire as Aiden hacked up a tree. However after a bit Aiden seemed to tire and joined him. When Aiden asked more out of worry, Ciel looked over at him. "I believe they did. Give them time, I want them to take in some details, I want to nbn hear about the city." He stated with a grin since he did want to go but knew it wasnt best.

When Mercy gave a blush at something that her Uncle said, Rin rose a brow. Had he said something to embarrass her? He figured she was talking about the ring, since the Fey woman Aspera gave a snort of a laugh. He was unsure if this was a good thing or a bad thing that they met. Was he trying to get Mercy to go visit her family? Were they safe here? He assumed they were fine if the man wasn't appearing angry or attacking them. "We were just in town to look into this ring. Everything else is open. I'm not sure if you want to visit with your family..." Rin offered Mercy to maybe distract from whatever was said. He then glanced at the jeweler. "If we're done here..." Aspera gave Rin a small nod before her eyes narrowed some at him. "Keep that reng safe and show et only to those you trust...Try the capetal of Nyx. There are rumors of a movement happeneng that you may fend those you can trust." Rin didn't answer that sentiment since Nyx currently was the enemy and he wasn't going to seek them out. They followed this ring to the end of the road, and found it was a symbol of the old ruling class and a perhaps a symbol of Nyx wanting to attack his friends people. ~~~ Aiden gave Ciel a huff, knowing he was right. He was still worried though about the others. He rose to go grab some food from his bag. He was bent over, digging through the pack with his back to the wood line. As he rose, he went to go back to Ciel when suddenly a grip went around his person. It felt like a human grabbing him, holding his bulk in restraint. Out of habit and skill, Adien tossed the person over his shoulder. A person that appeared to be made out of light burst into smoke as it hit the ground, confusing Aiden considerably. A sound behind him made him whirl around, to which he was smacked across the face with the end of a staff. He reeled as he grabbed the side of his face, looking in the direction of a man that stood there shaking his hand. "Damn you have a thick skull. They did say you wouldn't be easy to take down." The man hissed and Aiden made a face of shock and confusion. "Dimitri?!" He asked as he stared at the familiar but slightly different face of the mage. The difference was this man looked cocky and annoyed, his eyes narrowing fiercely in the man's direction. "Dimitri? I'm not-- How did you--?" He dropped that thought with a shake of his head and raised the staff that glowed with an odd flame surrounding the tip. "Conversation for later. You're coming with me." A spell erupted from the flames, something that looked like a chain of light that went around Aiden. They snatched tightly around Aiden, who struggled back against them. "There. Not so bad right? Now let's head out. We have places to be and can't leave my pay day waiting." Aiden was forced to stop struggling as the chains snatched him to the ground and began dragging him behind the confidently strutting mage.

When Rin commented on visiting the family there she shook her head,"Not particularly Rin." She stated as she listened to the jeweler with a nod. "Thank you." She stated before turning to look at her uncle again. Speaking smoothly in fey," I have no wish to see them, I am sorry but we only came here for this information." It was firm in her belief so her uncle nodded. "Very well, can't make you, so much like your mother. So how is Mez?" He asked as he walked with them out of the shop, seemingly escorting them. He asked politely asking on his older sister. Mercy nodded,"She is well, married to a prominent mage family, human belive it or not, and she is expecting. I'm happy for her. " she stated getting a suprised look from Farvell. "A human? Really? " he stated making is seem like Mez didn't like humans. "Our uncle is more of a bookish creature who can speak Fey- more or less. He is leering of other humans as well." At the explanation he laughed loudly. Mercy rose a brow wondering why he found that funny. She did glance at Rin and gave him a smile," I told him about my aunt ans uncle, he found it funny." She stated so he didnt feel left out. ~~~~~~~ Ciel watched as Aiden went to the horses but was there a bit longer then needed, and there was a slight shuffle sound. She got up and went to see what the issue was, finding one of his uncles, not the one married to Mez but to his other aunt, the one who talked way too much. He watched as Aiden called his uncle Dimitri- knowing full well it was his twin brother. As the chain spell erupted Ciel began muttering a counter action spell. When he only got a few steps away,Ciel jumped into the middle of them, using a projected sheild of magic to sever the spell and release Aiden. He gave him a softer look when he stood up. Ciel glanced back at his uncle and put a hand on his hip. "Uncle Darcy. Why are you kidnapping my friend?" He asked bluntly more in a curious way then anger since he knew his uncles did weird things but it came naturally to them.

Rin saw the laughter and talking going on between Mercy and her Uncle. It was odd to hear the man laughing with no context but he accepted that it perhaps wasn’t his business. At the news he was laughing at Mez’s choice of mates and that actually drew him to raise a brow. He wasn’t all that surprised he was laughing. After seeing that Mez was a powerful warrior, it was odd to see her with a bookish, shy mage. “Well he did know Mez and your mother before they left. Maybe they did a lot of changing? Besides. I think most people are shocked that Mez chose Dimitri of all people.” He said since the man was very odd. ~~~~ Darcy felt the slack in his spell and instantly whirled around to face to other mage. However, he saw one face he never expected to see outside of family gatherings. “Well fuck me—ah shit—I mean darn.” He said fumbling over his swearing that Dimitri often snapped at him over around the children. “Ciel? Little buddy, you got so big!” He said with a nervous chuckle, looking just past him for Mercy. If he was there, that meant the older sister was around. Not that Mercy was bad, she was just less prone to talking when pissed and Ciel definitely seemed keen on protecting his current target. Which that was confusing in and of itself. Why was Ciel out here with the prince of an enemy nation? When he didn’t see Mercy, that made Darcy’s brow furrowed in worry. “Ciel what are you doing out here? It isn’t safe out on your own and you sure as hell aren’t safe with that—“ he almost said ‘bastard’ but stopped himself and chose another word instead “guy either. Does Mercy know you’re out here?” He asked, ignoring Aiden who was wide eyed and looking confused. “Uncle Darcy?” Aiden asked Ciel and Darcy gave him a haughty look at him. “Yeah yeah, keep it down. Me and the kid are having a conversation.” He said and turned his attention back to Ciel, ignoring the child’s question about kidnapping Aiden.

She nodded to Rin and translated what Rin said to her uncle who nodded. "Indeed, Your aunt used to loath those who were weak. Used to pick on me quite often in fact." He explained before turning the topic," your mother had a soft spot for the weak, always saying they needed help." He said giving his Neice a small smile. "You did take after your mother I assume?" He asked getting a raise brow look from Mercy. She rose her hands and they erupted into golden glowing orbs, more to show her skill set and her aptitude with the magic. Her uncle smiled and clapped, obviously happy she was taking well to the magic. " and your little play thing? Does he do magic? He smells like magic." He teased the girl who swatted her uncle. "He does." She stated but left the rest be, not telling Rin what her second blush was over. ~~~~~ When his uncle started cussing he knew the man was caught off guard. He grinned at his uncle as he spoke, when he called him big he chuckled. "I'm not 5 anymore, of course I'm going to get big. You have met my aunt." He stated smoothly to emphasize that he was likely going to be as big as Mez. When he looked over his shoulder he assumed he was looking for his sister. When he suddenly went in on the parenting speech he rolled his eyes. "This Guy, his name is Aiden, and he is my friend. He did nothing wrong. Mercy will be back soon, she went to get information from the Fey. So please come share the fire so we can talk and hopefully sort this out while we wait for Mercy and Rin to return. " he offered clearly jot going to let his uncle have the human.

Rin was finding that the two were getting along quite well, which boded well for the traveling pair rather than not. Perhaps this trip did allow for Mercy to meet some of her mother’s family in a positive light. Or perhaps this was all going to be a huge mistake. Rain was a cynic so he usually went for option number two. He let the though drop when Mercy started blushing again, drawing a curious look from him since she seemed to be blushing quite a bit lately with what her uncle was saying. “Care to translate?” He asked her since he knew the uncle couldn’t understand them. It did bring a smirk to him since he liked that color pink in her cheeks. “I don’t think I’ve seen you blush this much. Must be something interesting you two are discussing.” ~~~ Darcy’s brow quirked as Ciel tried to flex what his height might be in the future. Right, because the world needed more Amazon sized People running around. But he was right. He wasn’t a child anymore. So then why was he traveling around the countryside into the wilderness with some strange man? The only explanation he could find was the less than obvious one. “Right...A friend.” He looked down at the man there with a purely skeptical look, distaste clear on his features. It made Aiden tense as he climbed to his feet and immediately got away from the mage. Darcy nodded at his nephew’s request, although he intended to be away soon with his target. He wasn’t about to have Ciel’s fascination with a pretty face impair him from getting this bastard prince where he belonged. “Listen, Ciel, it’s all fine and dandy you made a...friend. But this man here is wanted in all five kingdoms and the current leaders of Nyx need him to help stop this war before it escalates. So, the more time he and I spend here, the more people suffer. That doesn’t sound like a good deal for anyone right?” He asked the boy and got a glare from Aiden. “Nyx started this fight. Harena did nothing. I—“ “Nothing? How about driving the Fey and Elves off their lands? How about hundreds of years of oppression against mages? How about plotting mass war because your father wasn’t happy enough with the land he had? Don’t blame Nyx for something your people started years ago.” Aiden rose and Darcy did similarly, both looking like the other night swing.

When asked for a translation she nodded to Rin,"He asked if my play thing does magic...and that you smelled of magic." She stated with a blush, her uncle liked to tease her it seemed. "They can smell the curse you have, and the magic you often use it seems, I don't like them calling you a play thing however." She stated to him, getting a chuckle from her uncle who told her to stop cooing sweet nothings to her little lover in front of him, which only made the girls face stay pink longer, even getting Farvell a dirty look. They got to the edge of the town and Mercy turned and asked Rin to leave first. She squared up to the taller fey and smiled. "It was good to see you uncle, but we must be off." She stated getting a nod from the Fey,"Be sure to visit again, maybe with news of your aunts child? Children are precious after all." He stated softly before brushing her face with his hand softly before kissing her forehead and giving her a small good luck travels charm and he left her. She watched the man leave before going to join Rin on the main path out side the trees. "Let's go." She stated smoothly knowing Aiden and Ciel were waiting. ~~~~~ As they settled in, he made sure to check Aiden for initial injury, finding none thankfully. He glanced back at his uncle when he began speaking, but it seemed to cause Aiden some grief. When they got more heated Aiden threw up a barrier between them, and scowled,"Sit, before I make you both sit...uncle we do not charge the youth with the sins of those who came before them. Aiden did none of these things! And don't feed me that crap like I'm a sentimental child. I've grown a lot since you saw me last. Now we wait for Mercy and Rin to return- if you have other ideas I suggest you leave me and Aiden Be, and return when Mercy does. She will help sort this mess." He stated bluntly- his more Fey nature surfacing as he liked having order. It was clear he was frustrated at the situation, so he hoped both men understood his words before were a threat but were for the better of the issues.

Rin blinked at her telling him he was called a play thing. That was an odd choice of words, but why did it make her blush? He had heard worse before and honestly, he was kind of glad that she considered them a bit more than that. It was hard to tell sometimes how Mercy felt about people as she was very private. He was as well, which worked well for them. It made situations like this really cute, when he got to see more of her emotions. Eventually they went to leave and Rin let Mercy have her talk with her uncle. It was only fair, since she only met him today. After their private goodbye, they headed back to the camp. He did pause to give Mercy a light compliment on how she handled things, especially how sexy her ‘plaything la thought she looked in her dress...He stopped however when he heard an unfamiliar male voice. Rin reaches for his belt, grabbing his dagger there. He moved forward into the brush line, finding Aiden looking out off and annoyed, Ciel watching the two with a very firm look, and a man that resembled Dimitri sitting there, talking idly about a recent trip. Since Ciel didn’t look like this was a danger, he eased and entered the space with Mercy. The man that resembled Dimitri turned and his brow quirked at Rin. “Well, I didn’t expect an elf to be helping out someone from the Harena family.” Rin’s brow rose and he folded his arms fully. “I’m not an elf. And you are a stranger that clearly pissed off my charge. Care to explain what the hell your doing here?” Rin asked abrasively. Darcy’s shoulder’s rose in a shrug. “I was told to take the prince back to my people for payment. To help stop this war before it got out of control. They tried to get him safely to my employer before, but that little twit failed. So they hired me.” His eyes passed to Aiden with a cocky shit stirring smile. “Lucky you.” However, before Aiden could bark back, Darcy ignored him, as he would deal with him later. Instead he looked to Mercy with a polite smile. “Evening Mercy. Ciel told me you and this...Rin went to the Fay?” He asked since he was sure he would get some prickly response from the woman.

Mercy was glad that Rin came along, it helped keep her Level headed. When he started getting detailed on how she looked in the dress however she grinned at him, commenting to wear it to bed one night for him to feel for the life style perhaps. She knew it was all fun and games right now, but she did like the connect she had with Rin. It looked like he were going to respond with something coy, but he suddenly drew a dagger and looked distracted. She instantly let her magic flow and she seemed ready, but upon glancing over his shoulder into the clearing she saw her idiot uncle and Ciel had it handled. She gave a huff before entering the clearing with Rin stopped to put a hand on her hip, and a frown on her lips at her uncle. When her uncle Darcy decided to address her and ignore the other two she gave him a curt smile. "Hello Uncle Darcy. Hows our aunt? Well I hope, we went to see uncle Dimitri and Aunt Mez a bit ago." She stated simply like this were a conversation over tea. She gave a huff however and went to look Ciel over seeing he was fine, she next turned to Aiden. Grabbing his chin with her fingers and looking him over, seeing he had a bruise surfacing where someone hit him? "I'll heal that bruise later tonight. " she stated calmly before glancing at Rin to let him know she found nothing wrong with Aiden. "Now uncle, I understand your need to intervene but the Fey have given us much needed information. You wish to take my charge where again? If it is to Nyx capital then it's a consideration. But things before this must be explained and observed properly. Or need I contact out grandmother?" She threatened since if anyone knew how to punish one of the boys- it was their mother.

Darcy’s lip twitched from its polite smile since he knew very well that Mercy didn’t quite like him and he never really liked the stiff girl either. She was much too like her mother. At least Mez had a sense of humor and the two could share a drink. But she was his niece and he was always there for his family, regardless of party lines. “Aunt Lisa is great. Thank you. She’s currently in the capital actually with our daughter getting used to the cold. Between the two of them there is no lack of complaining.” He joked even if he too had hated the cold. He was a blasted fire mage stuck in the frigid north after all. The news that they saw Dimitri made him give a half smile. “Ah really, I haven’t seen the man since last Solstice holiday. He and Mez still alright at that college? I had to tell few guards off for pushing Dimitri around before Mez killed them.” He said, continuing her tea like discourse to play her edge right back to her. He knew how to give shit and take it after all. Rin shot the obnoxious man an annoyed look before going to Aiden’s side in following Mercy. At the touch, Aiden winced and gave her a quick nod of thanks at the offer of healing. Rin saw the bruise there and gave a tisk, feeling his own face. Why hadn’t he felt that? He blinked at that before he turned his attention to Darcy when Mercy addresses him again. Basically asking for more information. Her threat at the end to contact a grandmother made Darcy’s eyes narrow. “You wouldn’t...” His expression then eased some in uncertainty, “Ah who am I kidding you totally would, brat. Alright alright, I’ll tell you what I know.” He said with a shrug before he focused on the fire in front of them. His mere presence near the flames made them grow a bit hotter and rise a bit higher, something his magic did when close to the element. “This general in Nyx hired me to bring the prince in for a conversation with their commander—or leader. It’s a little fuzzy because it’s a resistance group and you know how those go. Everyone is on top—freedom to the people—it’s a movement—ya da ya da. Anyways, this person wants to negotiate and thinks that having Aiden on their side would help the king in Harena see reason. See he and his lackies were able to gain enough support to take the city back. They need them to lay down weapons before it gets worse and they can offer them the crown prince back for that leverage. Got it? No harming the guy. Just making sure his father, the real problem, is dealt with.” He said with a shrug. Aiden’s eyes widened at that, his mouth falling open slightly. “My father...he’s alive? And the city is ours again?” Aiden asked and Darcy made a face. “Well, no quite. He has the palace under control. The city is a mess.” Aiden still looked relieved and that made Darcy’s eyes narrow. “Your people are suffering for that man’s petty war. It’s important you at least talk with the general in Nyx—“ “Absolutely not.” Rin said, drawing Darcy’s eyes. “I’m not letting you drag my charge to an enemy base. There is no guarantee they won’t slaughter him and you already showed up here swinging. Uncle or not I’m not letting you near Aiden.” Rin bristled as the man looked passively at him. “No one asked you, kid. Besides, I can tell by that curse you bear you weren’t exactly always this loyal right?” Darcy’s question struck a cord with Rin who simply flared at the man. Darcy gave a shrug when he didn’t get a response before looking to Mercy. “Now why were you talking with the Fey? I though Mez and your mom told you two to stay away.” He asked since he was confused on that point.

At the comment on their aunt and their own child, she did chuckle at the complaining comments. "Yes, Cold is interesting to be around for a period of time." She sympathized since she was a summer child herself. "They are well, Dimitri is going to be a father soon even, so you know hes been busy." She joked in return more to break part of this awkward negotiation with some familial news. As Rin and Darcy butted heads shs stayed quiet since Rin was serious about his position to protect Aiden and it wasn't her place to step in. When Darcy addressed her finally she nodded,"Indeed, this was the only place we could go to find our information unfortunately. There was a ring, it was of elven and Fey make." She stated honestly to her uncle. "I met their brother, Uncle Farvell, was an interesting experience for sure. " she stated smoothly to him to let him know she made contact and knew enough to get the hell out of there. When Aiden asked about his father, ciel gave him a pat on the shoulder,"At least he is alive, that's a step in the right direction." He stated smoothly to his friend, hoping to be of some help. However when Rin's curse was brought up Mercy pursed her lips firmly,"Uncle, speak on Rin's disposition again in such a manner and I will make all your pretty hair fall out over night. " she threatened with a sweet yet venomous way, her eyes intent on the mage. She turned her attention to Rin,"Speak with Aiden on what we have learned, we need to decide our next course of action." She stated taking a seat by the fire, and gave her uncle an obstinate look of her own. ••°~°••°~°••
