A tiny little kitten old enough to live without a mother and able to eat real foods. Black with a white muzzle, paws, and chest the kitten had strange eyes. One green the other blue. Queen purred loudly as she cleaned the kitten despite its protests. It had given in after a while. Watching under the careful supervision of silvery blue eyes.
They were outside one of the larger houses. Settled near the door in the small patch of grass. Skirts flared around her neatly. Golden locks pinned up for one of the rare few times. Julianne was simply awaiting Hamlet. She had promised him a kitten. Well she had one and it needed and name and his approval. The little she-kitten and her she-cat got along well enough which was a good thing seeing how the kitten would be staying with her as Hamlet couldn't take it to the castle.

Heels press against his mares sides as he straddled her backwards. For once the young prince was taking the backroads to the address he had been giving for the kitten. He was about to recieve it as a present though he was sure she was well aware he couldn't take it home.
His black and white painted mare moves along at an easy trot, cape over his shoulders obviously plain stated as he was royalty. He sits tall as he stares fowards, his head pointed downwards as she moves in a graceful gait now that the house was coming closer.
They had finally reached it and Hamlet slowed his mare as he tightend his legs around her. She slowed and he looks towards Juli. Slidding off the mare he didn't give a welcoming smile more looked as white as a sheet. he clears his throat and steps fowards, cape swishing back behind him as he moves with his eyes pointed downwards. "Sorry I was late."

Julianne heard hooves and looked up. A warm smile was given as he dismounted and spoke. Seeing the paleness about him brow creased slightly. Standing gracefully she moved to him and took his hand pulling him over. "What is wrong Hamlet", she asked in a smooth gentle voice like one you would use with an uneasy creature.
Sitting down she pulled him with her. Letting go she reached forward and plucked the kitten from Queen petting it gently as she presented the small creature to him waiting for his words.

Eyes dart up at her as she grabs for his hand and pulls him towards her. He had a predatory gaze in his eyes one that could be murderous. He had seen it again. The ghostly dead figure lurking around out side the castle. It had come to him again, trying to lead him some where. Could this be his maddness trying to get to him? to kill him?? This made him anxious and almost seem nervous twitch that when she pulled him he staggered.
He listens to her as she speaks and sort of cocks his head as though she wasn't speaking english and he couldn't understand her. His brow rose as he sorta stood there with a distant look and then he shook his head. "nothing... nothing..." he said as she sat down and then picked up the kitten. He looks to the adorable thing and though his mind wouldn't really allowe him to express how much he liked the cute little thing he smiles weakly. "Thanks Juli means alot to me." he said as he took the kitten from her and rubbed the top of its head.

Juli ignored his actions and unknowing anwser. She simply smiled and nodded. "Well when I promise something I keep that promise", she said watching him. Watching the kitten as he pet it. "What will you name her", she asked. Wanting to ease his mind for the time being. He looked at unease.
Petting Queen who came and sat in her lap. Watching him closley. It was hard to work around his problems but she tried her best. Not pushing him was the best thing at the moment.

He looks at the kitten in his arms and heard a very disatissfied grunt from his mare. He looks to her as she spoke and he smiled weakly again. "Yes. I can see that." he said as the kitten rubbed against him under his chin and with a tiny paw patted at him. He laugh lightly and stuck the cat back on the ground. He looks to her as she speaks and his brow rose as he fell into a sit next to her.
He rested his arms on his knees as the kitten continued to bat at him and fell akwardly to the ground from the step. He nods, "Jynx." he said as she had asked him what to name her. he couldn't really think of anything else, but that was what the word that kept running in his mind. Jinx. He was a jinx wasn't he?
It seemed no matter what things began to dwindle down into his own destruction. Would he see the day he reigned as king? he looks towards Juli for a second.

Juli watched him as he pet his kitten and she lightly pushed Queen from her lap not in much a mood to bother with her really. Smiling at the name he gave the kitten and nodded.
Eyes fell on his when he looked at her. "You do know I am here should you need me", she said softly. Simply wanting him to hear it. Julianne brushed white hairs from her skirts as she flidled with them listening for his tones. Making sure they spread neatly around her and simply toying with he cloth.

He looks at her as she spoke and he nods. She was such a kinder heart, a beautiful girl to match that heart of gold. Yet he couldn't pull her down with his dark tainted thoughts and secrets. She'd think he was more nuts then what he already was. He couldn't risk it. " I know." he said smiling. For once it was a full smile and nothing halfly down nor weak.
He lifted his hand and brushed the side of her cheek. "And I thank you for that. But I don't want to weigh you down with my affairs. you have your own problems to worry about then mine." he said as he pulled back his hand and looks towards his new Kitten Jynx.

Julianne looked at him when he touched her cheek. Listening to him a strange look in her eyes but she gave a small smile. For a moment she was silent. "Hamlet... I wouldn't offer if I didn't think I couldn't handle it. I.... I... I want to help you if you would let me", she said watching him. Having hessitated not sure how to word her sentence properly.
Both hands went and took the one that had touched her cheek. Taking them carefully. Ignoring any flinches or else he might have from her touch. "I won't think wrong of you, or judge you as you think I might. I won't break either the moment you put a little weight on my shoulders like others would", she said tone soft. Eyes never left him.

He was surprised as she reached for his hand that had once pressed her cheek. Brown eyes move towards her silvery blue eyes as she seemed to plead to him. His jaws twitch and he draws his eyes away. "its not that simple Juli." he said looking at her. he gripped one of her hands as she held it between her hands and he keeps his eyes staring deep and gravely into her own. His grip tightend lightly but then released as he pulled his hand away. What makes her think she can handle such a deep thing?? She would cast me down. As quick as my own mother had. He stares at her for a second and switched his seating to where he faced her.
He wanted to trust her, he wanted to be able to confide in her. Yet he was weary. He keeps his eyes on her and as he was about to speak, something caught his attention. Eyes move from her and almost froze in place. A black figure moved around in the back ground. Doing the dance of death as its ghostly figure moved in silence. The faceless figure taking another step before stopping and starein directly towards him. His body grew cold and numb with a sensation he knew all to well. Fear. Paralyzing fear. it was like the fingers that crept on the back of her neck and sent shivers down your spine.

Julianne bit her bottom lip when he spoke. Brow creased in worry for a moment and was gone. It hurt that he pushe dher aside so. Why it did when other people who did so it never bothered her. Yet Hamlet does and it sent a pain threw her. Though she didn't let it show.
But then he seemed to change after he turned to her. Head tilted to the side. "Hamlet", she asked to see if he would anwser. Leaning forward and bit and reaching out to touch him to see if she could get his attention. He seemed scared almost. What was wrong. WHat happened. He was like this when he came. Julianne hated not knowing but didn't dare push him to hard in fear of loosing him or pushing him over the edge.

The figure tilted its faceless head to the side as it lifted its limb upwards and pointed. Hamlet's eyes kept frozen on the area and though Juli was right there infront of him he couldn't break his gaze from the tantalizing gaze of the figure. No face but a blank one, one that didn't match up. Its black cloaked figure with a hood over its head. Finger pointed directly towards him and though caught in his transe that when she touched him it brought him back. f*gue eyes moved towards her slowly as the were nothing but desolate as though the life had been sucked right out of them. Eyes went darting back to the spot and proving that its existance truly wasn't there, like that, it was gone.
He could feel the sensations of his surroundings again, the numbness leaving him as now he was back to reality back to the real world again. Th terror in his face seemingly fadeing though, he found it rather peculiar that it pointed towards him. Why!?
Eyes look to Julianne as she looked at him with a worried gaze and he looks down and then grabs her hands. "Promise one thing." he said looking to her as he moves lightly closer, leaning in as he looks almost with an urgency. The sudden wildness returning. " That no matter what happens.... you won't forget how sorry I am?" he said lookng towards her. of course she wouldn't get what he was saying for he was turning into a puzzle again. One where all the pieces didn't match up with the missing slots. "Promise me." He whispered to her. But before she could answer his lips pressed again her own holding it there for a second as he lifted himself off the stair as he went to stand up. Letting his lip lock let go of her he still held onto her hands........-

Julianne seemed to bring him back to reality with a touch to the arm. Eyes still on him as he slowly seemed to calm. But with him it was so hard to tell. When he leaned in she listened intently.
It didn't make much sense. But it seemed important to him. Hamlet almost seemed to beg her? Why? Juli didn't know anymore. When she made to promise she was surprised to find his lips to hers. Stunned she looked up at him when he stood. Slowly she rose and touched her lips as though not sure he really did what she though he did. Looking at him she let the hand on her lips fall. "Promise", she agreeded softly once able to find her voice.

Had he really did that? he reacted on impluse when it came to that kiss, heated in the moment and before he knew it. His lips were against her own. His eyes remained on her however even though he paid no mind to his shock but the look on her face and the very soft word she spoke made him feel suddenly guilty. Another emotion thrown onto the pile. The young prince let go of her hands and parted his mouth to speak.
"What a show." a voice said just when Hamlet began to speak. Hamlet swung around to see who this voice belonged to and lord behold it was Atticus. Atticus the dirty guard that works for the palace was well known. His father thought of him as being one good man but truthfully Atticus was not as such. He was a greedy man, a man that was not worth working for the castle. He claps his hands as he moves his shoulder from a tree he was leaning against. " This where the prince spends most of his times? Why.. I wouldn't say he is mad with insanity I would say he is infatuiated with this young lass." Atticus grinned and though this young man was handsome something about him seemed rotten about his charming face. Hamlet remained where he was watching him for a second.
Atticus looks to Julianne and then smiles bowing lightly he says. "Atticus My lady..." he said. "What are you doing here?" Hamlet demanded. Atticus straightend himself, the more look of a soldier crossing his features as his head lightly rose but then bowed in a respectful way to the prince. "Your father sent me after you." He said. "well I am sending you away." Hamlet protested. Atticus rose his hand and Hamlet crossed his arms. "Tsk tsk young prince. I have been meaning to talk to you and this fine looking lady."
Hamlet rose his brow. "Why.." he said. Of course it was more of a statment then a question. Atticus chuckles lightly and steps fowards crossing his arms -.....

Hamlet didn't give her much chance to let the inoital shock to fall when he kissed her again. But this time she was a little more ready for it. Silvery blue eyes on him as he motioned to speak and winced hearing another voice looking around.
Taking this other man she said nothing. Infact she just gave a small slight smile. To mask her thoughts. His words made her think him more than the handsome man he seemed. Hamlet sure didn't seem to like their 'guest'. Listening lips twitched as he regarded her with his name. Nothing was spoken. A hand lightly resting on a hip.
Making a face at his words of needing to talk to them. What could this stranger possibly have to say to her. A hand touched Hamlet's shoulder lightly and left it. "Ease your hackles", she whispered softly to him. "Well speak up", she said lightly tone unreadable. Her mind calculating. So long as she got this man's meaning and kept Hamlet cool what much could happen?
