BLAZE!

Implications

Jason enters the corridor/main hall of the castle with Ella sitting on the couch waiting. Her hair is neat and tied up with her clothes appearing to be rather nice compared to Jason's. Jason suddenly gets a nervous feeling in his gut, making him cross his arms.

J: Sorry to keep you waiting I ugh...some important stuff popped up. Can you pass me my shirt and tattered sweater? Please and thank you.

Jason asks Ella who blushes slightly and tosses him his things from the couch. Jason gets dressed quickly, as he takes a seat next to Ella. The two sit in silence for a moment with very little movement between the two. Blitz storms inside and gazes at Jason with a nasty eye. She quickly makes her way up the flight of stairs.

E: What were you doing out there? Blitz never came back? Never mind that follow me but close your eyes until I say so...we are just going to the backyard of this place so relax. I'm not going to hurt you or anything.

Ella states calmly and the two of them stand, Jason closes his eyes and Ella walks him through the castle's long corridors. Click,click,click. Every step they take echoes through the entire area further emphasizing the sheer size of the castle. Finally the two reach the back exit and they go out of the back door. Ella props Jason in a way for him to be able to see the entire backyard.

E: O-okay you can open them now. Feast your eyes on the rest of the castle.

Ella says enthusiastically and Jason listens and looks to see a garden basking in the warm gentle embrace of the sun. The garden consists mostly of neatly trimmed hedge walls, with some berry bushes sprinkled around the area. The gardens flowers hug the various walk ways linking everything together with a sort of elegance. The flowers begin to face towards Ella with the hopes of drawing more strength from her. In the middle of the garden is a fountain with a statue of someone resembling The Queen. The eyes of the statue are used to give the appearance of a weeping Valkyrie.

J: This is...nice. So this is what you made me wait an hour for? You were hoping that the beauty of this garden would influence my decision on whether I go and try to send us home? I feel like you could have just shown me this at the moment, no?

Jason says in a tone that is not angry but more nuanced. Ella frowns at Jason's attitude towards the garden and runs her hand along the foot of the statue. 

E: Oh... it's still not time. I must have overestimated this place's sun. uh well so that there won't be any more distractions...follow me to my other little chill spot.

Ella is shaken a bit but continues to lead Jason out of the garden and castle walls. They follow this old and messed up trail that breaks the opening of the castle's trees. They reach a clearing with an old bridge taking up the view. The thing is held up by nothing but hopes and prayers. Jason wonders if he could stomp his foot down to shatter it. He runs his hand against the cool brick like material.

E: Here we are! good olé bridge! Don't you think it's great Jason. its sturdier than my emotions haha.

Ella says in a joking manner in an attempt to lighten up the mood. Jason tilts his head so that his ear faces off the bridge.

J: Oh snap, it sounds like a river is nearby. *sigh* Let's chat in the middle of the bridge because there's clearly something you want to tell me. I swear if this thing breaks I'm going to destroy it.

Jason declares not really playing along. Ella is caught off guard but She nods in agreement. The two of them walk onto the shady bridge, despite it looking old the damn thing is quite sturdy. Jason leans onto the railing of the bridge. He admires the bridge's simple design then looks at the flowing river below waiting to confront Ella.
