Shortly after Mingi had left, the three princes made an appearance. Jaejoong had finally given them the permission to go see the infamous drow/druid hybrid for the first time since his capture.

Yunho was startled to hear the metal door begin creaking again just a few minutes after Mingi's departure. He knew it definitely wasn't the human so he immediately crawled back into his corner.

The first person who stepped in was the youngest of the three, Jongho. He had a warm smile on his lips and in an odd way it kind of calmed him down. The next was the second born, Wooyoung, who seemed to have a blank expressionless look on. Then last was the oldest, Hongjoong, who glared intensely at the drow.

His cold stare causes Yunho to shrivel up on the inside and avert his eyes from the prince's icy grey ones.

No one said anything for a few seconds and the silence was almost suffocating to Yunho. The fact that all three men were staring right at him, silently observing him didn't exactly make things better. Jongho finally sighs out loud and takes the initiative by stepping forward with which Yunho responds immediately by flinching back.

Jongho was quick to understand that he obviously didn't trust them so he decided to keep his distance. "Sorry you've been stuck down here for so long" Was all he could muster up. Sorry wasn't nearly enough to make up for how shitty he'd been treated.

Yunho just blinks at him, with no expressions and no intention of saying a word.

"You've eaten right? We ran into Mingi on the way here so..." Jongho starts again.

Silence.

Wooyoung groans out loud and turns to leave. "He's obviously stupid and doesn't know how to speak. I'm out of here" He mutters as he walks out the entrance, a guard holding the door open for him. When he'd heard that the drow they'd captured was some half druid power house meeting said drow excited him even more but at that moment he felt anything but excited.

To him Yunho seemed weak and insignificant. So fragile like a wingless bird. Wooyoung always fell behind his father's words through thick and thin but he couldn't help but wonder where exactly Jaejoong was getting this far fetched conclusion about Yunho's 'power'.

Hongjoong takes another few seconds just staring at the dark elf before narrowing his eyes briefly and walking out of the room as well leaving Jongho alone with Yunho.

The vampire tsks under his breathe at his brothers' behavior. "Don't mind them. I'm really actually sorry about how you've been treated. I'd help you if I could but there's really no convincing Jaejoong otherwise. Once he has his sights set on something he wants he doesn't stop until he gets it" Jongho speaks calmly and it almost took Yunho by surprise.

The prince is the first vampire to actually treat him kindly... it was odd and also kind of reassuring.

After he'd finally left Yunho with a small smile the drow was left in silence once again. He almost wanted the young vampire to stay a little longer. He just wanted to speak to someone. Anyone. Being locked in there all day with no one to talk to and nothing to do made him feel mentally and physically ill.
