He heard the words of Juli but this only flustered him more. Hamlet was not one to take orders easily nor was he one to like to be questioned. he watched the features of his so called, retriever and his face suddenly turned with a cynical grin. "Ah. Good ol father. I find it rather amusing he spoke to me about, sayin it was fine with me going to town today." he said. OF course he knew Atticus was lieing. It had come straight from his fathers mouth saying it was perfectly fine. But Atticus didn't seem to move. He stepped from Juli but paused as she spoke. he said nothing more.
Atticus continued on with his walk, his stride casual and easy as though he wasn't up to your common horrible deed. But infact he was. He was in this for only one reason, to drive Halmet completely out of the throne. Hamlet for now was his target and inorder to get this well thought of man out of here with his insanity.. He had to pull a few strings even if it came to blackmailing him and his pretty little girlfriend here. When the young woman spoke he smiled and paused looking towards the kitten who was now was Hamlets feet brushing against his legs. " Lets say.. I know a secret and this secret could get you both into a lot of trouble." Atticus said as he delicate chose his words. His eyes move towards Hamlet to see his expression and when he didn't recieve one as of yet, he stepped closer. "And you could say.. I want something in return for keeping my mouth shut... If you don't.. Then the fat lady sings." he said once more. There it was the breaking of Hamlet's strong expression....-

Julianne watched both shifting slightly from where she was at. Watching Atticus closely. Face held no expression as of now. Mind work clearly and calculating. His words almost seeming to take a moment to sink in.
Hands smoothed her dress uneasily. What did he know? What was it he was talking about. Surely not Hamlet's accidental mistake. Juli lightly chewed her bottom lip a moment. Moving to the side slightly she was silent for a long moment.
"What kind of something", she said voice low. Eyes narrowed slightly with suspicion. She for one of the few rare times was not sure if she should trust someone or not. But he made it hard to put any sort of faith or anything in him let alone trust him enough to not want something that would be impossible to give.

Hamlet shifted lightly even as Julianne spoke but that was just Hamlet always thinking the worst. "Quit tugging our chains Atticus." Hamlet demanded. "out with it." You could tell just by his voice he was growing steadily uneasy as he watched his so called "soldier" in front of him.
Atticus listens to her and then to him and he laughs lightly and keeps stepping fowards. "You should know... It happend about 2 days after you two first met.." he said looking at them. Would they get that hint?

Julianne glanced at Hamlet but when Atticus spoke she tensed. Eyes on him. For a long moment she was silent. Clearing her throat slightly uneasy. Ignoring Queen who meowed at her feet wanting to be picked up.
"And what have you in mind then", she asked voice calm and steedy. Looking him in the eyes as she spoke. Juli wouldn't show a flaw to this man. Both hands, more like fists, were proped on her hips as she awaited his words.

Hamlet remained silent as he kept his unforgiving eyes on the man before them. He was one force not to be reconkned with and Atticus had better start figureing that out. His fists clenched tightly as he lightly took one step fowards. He hated this man and he made sure Atticus knew if very plainly that he did. But of course he knew that Atticus wasn't to shy of a man himself. He was rather one of those backstabbers who did their deed quietly behind your back. Hamlet never took his eyes off of Atticus afraid that if he did, he would do something he wouldn't have seen.. Like the sly little snake he was.
Atticus listens to the woman talk but kept his eyes firmly on both of them. Just the look on Hamlet's face was priceless. he chuckles soflty and steps fowards again. one step. then two. "I believe... This is not the place to speak such... a secret." the side of his mug curved deviously as he watches them, seeing if they would get a clue.

Julianne gently nudged the white cat aside as her eyes stayed intently upon the other. Her jaw twitched as he stepped forward. This man rubbed her the wrong way so to say. Just being around him made her nerve buzz wearily. It wasn't the same way they did with Hamlet, more in a bad way.
"Then perhaps you should wait till another time and place to bring it up. Unless your going to speak clearly begone. Your little hints and riddles are dull already. I beleive we understand your meaning", she said smiply. Lifting her skirts slightly she turned from Atticus so to go back and settle in the grass once more. Hopping Hamlet would follow her and Atticus would go.

Atticus stares at the little lass for a second. Did they really get it? Of course he could speak it out right here about what he knew. But then again..... Others who had something against them could conspire off of his own idea. Atticus stepped back. "Fine.. Madame." He spoke his eyes moving towards Hamlet who kept his eyes wearily on him that was very harsh and intense. "We'll meet at a later date. But next time... " He grins lightly. "Mr. Princey boy won't be here to protect your little smart ass." he said. Of course he would have slapped that woman right off her feet but Hamlet stood there and he would rather not turn his back on the guy. Not yet. not until he had him wrapped around his finger had the prince of Von Maur doing his every whim. He gave a shrill whistle which moved his horse in his direction. grabbing the horn of his saddle he swung himself around. "To bad people are beginning to find out about that murder..... soon Hamlet. your father will know." oops. He wasn't beating around the bush any more. Kicking his horse he turned his horse sharply and strode off.
The prince's skin turned pale as his eyes lingered on the disappearing figure of Atticus. Hands became clamy his mouth suddenly dry, [ib]Murder.[/i] Jaws tightend as large amount of pressure was set on his teeth which were slowly starting to bleed. Making this a complete reminder that this was reality that seemed more like a nightmare. His breath was caught in his chest and he began to feel dizzy, his whole world spinning and blurry. He didn't think he could stand on his own two feet any more. Standing in an akward way he closed his eyes for a second. this can't be happening.....This.. can't be happening.

Juli had expected him to explode. A woman, one of her youth, speaking out as she did to a man. Normally it wasn't tollerated. Hearing him speak she tensed and stopped in her tracks her back to them as she listened. When he spoke of Hamlets mistake and his father her shoulders dropped and head bowed and she waited for the retreating hooves before tunring around again.
Worry washed over her at the angle the prince stood. Moving to his side she touched his arm gently. Willing to take anything he might do if only to try and ease his mind. She cared for him. Alot. Seeing his mind slip from his grip was hard but it was harder still seeing others effect him so. "Hamlet...", she whispered softly to him. Waiting to see if he would snap out of it. Hand lifting and touching his cheek gently. He was so pale.

The young prince remained standing in his akward postion, his body lightly swaying back and forth like a bendy tree. His breath still caught in his chest, his lungs burning and screaming for him to release it. To breathe! Look at what you done! Look at this mess you have caused! A voice snickered in his skull. In his mind he could see something dancing in merryment of his fatal mistake. Won't be before long before dear old Daddy finds out!! Once more the thing began to dance around and around clapping their hands chanting and hooting at his demise. His downfall. should have known better princey! know your good as dead! How could he have let himself fall into that pit! that trap! He must had heard her say something. He had to have heard it from somewhere! The only place was it repeated was in his mind.. So he thought.A mess!! a mess!! such a beautiful mess! At the touch on his arm and then his cheek his eyes open and almost a whole sudden appearance set on him. He grabbed her roughly by the wrist his grip tightening. "yeah no one knows HUH?" He hisses at her. He turned lightly on her to where he was facing her he steps into her his eyes narrowing an almost predatory out look crossing his features.

Wincing slightly as he gripped her wrist but she made no protest. Looking the short distance up into his eyes. Gaze steady. Her gaze faultered at his words but she fixed it once more quickly. For a moment she was silent to calm her-self.
"I didn't say anything. What need have I to lie to you. It surprised me as much as it did you when he came forth. Why would I go to the likes of him anyway", she asked tone neutral. Face impassive. Though in her mind she felt two inches tall. How he effected her with his fits. It was scary in so many ways.

Her calm demanor began to boil his blood any more. Lightly twisting his grip on her wrist as he presses his body into her own. "you might hadn't said it directly to him.. But some one else.. some one else could have told him!" he snarls. beautiful mess!!! Beautiful Mess!! The figure still danced and mocked his demise in his head. Roughly he lets go of her with a light shove. not knowing if she actually stumbled back or what happened to her for he turned his back. He swallows several times though each time he did it only seemed to dry out his mouth even more. "no no.. your right." he heard himself speaking but of course he didn't know what he was saying nor to who he was talking to. he almost felt like he was caught in a haze not exactly knowing what was going on.

Julianne Winced vissably as he twisted his tight grip on her wrist . It hurt but she voiced nothing. But he impassive mask dropped. Silvery blue eyes were full of worry. Not arguing with him. Why would she. His mind was playing with him at the moment. She knew better than take his words seriously just yet.Stumbling back when he roughly pushed her away she got her footing. Rubbing her sore wrist she looked worried at his turned back. Taking a breath. "Calm your-self man", she snapped. Not like her at all but still. "I understand why you worry. I'll help you in any way I can but you have to be rashonal", she insited tone softer and more gentle.

Look at yourself. Dwindling down to the pittful thing you have always been. HAHA! Hamlet closes his eyes trying to clear his thoughts. He could over come this.. he was the prince of Von Maur. he was a smart and noble man. He could do this.. he could- hearing the tone of Juli he swung around to look at her. His features hardening. "be rational!? do you not understand that if that punk opens his trap to my father. I won't be alive any more? A prince! that is against the law Juli!" He steps towards her.
Pausing for a second. Hurt her! hurt her! she is in your way! don't let her be! His hands tightend in a type of strangling motion before he spun around away from her. His mind simply laughing at him. what was weird was. it sounded like his own voice as though it was his own conscience. He was going insane.

Brow twitched at him as he spoke. Ignoring his little tantrum she crossed her arms. "I'm no fool. I know this. I will help where I can and how I can. You don't have to bear this burden alone. You haven't the moment it happened", she told him. Looking away she shook her head. "Perhaps I am a fool", she muttered and bent downpicking the kitten up who had wandered over. Head bowed she cuddled the kitten to her bossom and moved away from him. "I'll leave you alone then. Ease your mind perhaps", she said softly. If he was going to let his failing mind toy with him and win then she wanted nothing to do with him for the moment. Her emotions where strained. They kissed. Then Atticus came about and now he almost seemed to dispise her. and Juli still hadn't processed everything yet. It was a strain and she only seemed to make things worse at the moment. perhaps removing her-self from hsi presence would help him.

He says nothing as she speaks. She was right he hadn't been alone since this whole thing started but also.. She didn't realize when this all started they didn't have some one who knew. This was making him crumble deep inside. Making him fold in many diffrent directions that he was almost unsure of how to handle it. He could hear her move away from him, it was as though the predator in him awokend. Making everything around him hightend in double senses. Shfting slightly he looks over his shoulder watching as she moves away.
