Unlikely Alliances (The Pack)

Sixteen -Family Reunion, I Guess...

Preston did not appreciate being woken up at two in the morning, even if it was for a cool weapon. Eventually, Rob had to splash water on his face to wake up, but for doing that the Tauran demanded that the prince go with him.

'I still don't see why I have to be here-'

'Because Preston needs a weapon, the weaponry's only open at certain hours, and we both find this hilarious. Right Preston?'

'Pfft, yeah.' The brunet grinned, definitely more awake than he'd been a few minutes ago. Robert on the other hand was still tired, practically leaning on his friend as they walked through the halls, but nobody was complaining about that.

'Oh, Seto? I have a question.'

'Go ahead.'

'When we were in the weaponry yesterday - today? I don't know. What was I saying again?'

'Weaponry, yesterday.'

'Right. We saw these weird wing things in there. Cylinder of glass, with wings inside. They could move by themselves.' The sorcerer tensed under his cloak, gripping the flaming torch as he looked dead ahead.
'You weren't supposed to see those. Why did you take the cover off?'
'We were curious, and... I'm sorry.'

All the sorcerer could do at that point was sigh. Hopefully the Prince wouldn't remember before the deadline. 'It's alright, young prince. It was an honest mistake. Just make me a promise, okay?'
'Uh...'
'Don't go near the wings again, understand? And do not let them touch you. Your father locked them up for a reason.'
'Oh. Okay.'

After a few minutes, Seto internally groaned and turned around. 'Someone remind me why we're walking? I can just teleport us there.'
'SETO DON'T-'

In a bright purple flash, the trio appeared by the door of the weaponry. Rob covered his mouth with both hands as he almost threw up, and Preston just stared at the doors.
'Nice design.'
'Thanks, I made them myself. Anyway, just get in, get a weapon and get out before we get caught.' The brunet ordered calmly, pushing them both through the door. Strangely, he didn't pass through the doors.

'So this is what y'all did yesterday, huh?'

'That's the most Tauran thing I've ever heard. "Y'all". I love it!'

'Wow, stereotypical much? C'mon, help me pick out a thing so we can get back to bed.' Preston gently shoved his friend towards a display case, deciding the check out the long-range weapons (and completely ignoring the weird wings in the glass case.)

'Bow and arrow?'

'Eh, maybe. I'm a good shot and all, but - Woah. Those are cool.'

Joining the keeper's side (Was he a keeper? They hadn't seen him use his powers since this whole thing happened), Rob took a look at what he'd seen and whistled slightly. 'Wind and fire wheels, eh? Good choice. They suit your style.'
'Tragically ironic. Do you think it'd be okay if I used these?'
'Of course. Seto can teach you how to use them later, but first it's sleep time.'
He didn't tell Preston who they had one belonged to. He didn't see any point in it.

MITCH AND JEROME ARE-
'SHUT UP, SETO!'

Being rudely awakened by a certain Candelian screaming at their mentor, Lachlan groaned tiredly and looked up before faceplanting back onto the pillow.
'Too early for this sh-'
Lachlan, if you swear I'll tell Vik that you once cried because snakes don't have arms.
'-oot. Shoot. And how the Hell do you know about that?'
I have my ways. If your partner isn't awake by now, wake them up. The King wants to talk to you all in the secondary hall before breakfast.
