ALL: For the second day in a row, she wore her casual attire of tanned leather pants and a breezy white shirt. And just for the hell of it, those blasted heavy black boots that everyone so enjoyed. With arms folded across her chest, she had been leaning against the stone wall, next to the entrance way of the Hall, but which faced onto the gardens. As of late, she had been doing a lot of thinking, perhaps way more than she should. Every single time though, she came back with the same conclusion. With a slight frown creasing her brows, she stared into nothingness.

...is somewhere in the gardens...

ALL: A small squeak came from her left, and she quickly diverted her gaze downwards and towards her pet. The now fully grown black and white capuchin monkey was standing erect, with his little hand extended towards her. " What is this, Jinx? " she asked with a compassionate tone. Jinx had grasped between his fingers, a small piece of folded paper. The frown that had held her brows, now transformed into an expression of curiosity, with the arching of just one. Reaching towards her waist, she swiftly untied a small pouch attached to the string which held up her lower garment, and from it removed a single dried piece of a fruit. Holding out the dried fruit, they made the exchange. " Good fellow " she praised, while Jinx eagerly took the fruit and scoffed it down. " You may return to our room now " Apparently the monkey was well trained, off he went, disappearing into the Castle and on his way. Standing up straight, she studied the piece of paper. It certainly was intended for her, as the front simply read: 'Adel de Blakeland'.

ALL: Adel reasoned that the message had been directly delivered to her room, how else would Jinx have obtained it? Unless of course, the person was familiar to her and was in the know that the monkey was trained to a good standard. Ah yes, perhaps Dorian had finally seen sense and was informing her that her beautiful weapons would be shortly returned to her. Laughing out loud, though if somewhat nervously, her eyes briefly swept across gardens to see if anyone might be watching her. The paper was nothing fancy, it had not been sealed, simply folded in half. Holding the message in one hand, her index finger slipped between the fold and flicked it up. It was a short, but sweet and read: 'I know who you are!' And in reaction to that, she scoffed and remarked with a certain annoyance: " Evidently, fool. You addressed it to me, after all. Blithering, dim witted buffoon. " Yeah, apparently the message had narked her a little, she didn't much like being at the butt end of a joke. Screwing the piece of paper up into a tight ball, she enclosed it within her fist and pushed off from the wall, and headed into the Hall.

•GREAT HALL•
...is within the Great Hall...

ALL: Heavily placed footfalls carried her across the Hall and speedily towards the roaring fire, which burned brightly throughout all seasons, for reasons that she didn't care to investigate after. Without a second thought, she flung the note into the heat. The flames quickly devoured the paper, licking the edges hungrily, until there was nothing more than charred ash as remains. Quietly, there she stood, watching as the remnants crumbled into nothing. Apparently she found this to be most pleasing, because she let out a loud and single laugh. " HA! " And although there was victory and joy to be found in the noise that she'd just let out, her features returned to a blank, unreadable canvas. Blue orbs remained fixed on the flames.
