"Y-you're my fiance?" Cecily asked, eyes wide, "Do you know who I am? Where did I come from? Why am I running, or even in danger? Who are you?" she asked in rapid-fire, "AND WHY IS THERE AN ICE BEAR IN THE HALLWAY??!" she screamed, scrambling backward to Jimin's chest.

"Sshhh shh, you're safe," Jimin consoled her. "Maybe we could let Jeongguk in?" he asked Namjoon, "He seems to be able to comfort her better than I can."

Namjoon turned and gave a confirming nod to the giant bear behind him. The bear lumbered off, only to be replaced by a wild-eyed and concerned Jeongguk a few seconds later. Cecily scooted herself into sitting between Jimin's legs, Jeongguk crawling onto the bed with them and wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't ever keep me from her again," he growled at Jimin and Namjoon, "I will rip this house to splinters. You can't make me her protector and then not let me protect her."

"Fair," Taehyung answered as he came into the room to sit next to Namjoon, "But I am his protector. I understand where you came from, but you also understand how it felt. Even?"

"Even," Jeongguk agreed reluctantly, tightening his grip on Cecily.

"Okay," Namjoon sighed in relief, "One question at a time, Princess," he ran his hands through his hair, "First, the bear was Tae. He's a Selkie, and able to change his form into any animal that he has a pelt for. He has many of them, but prefers his ice bear the most. Tiger after that." He waited until Cecily nodded in understanding, "There's more to all of that, but we'll get into it later. Second, I am your fiance, but I don't know much more about you than that. I was summoned through a ritual, one that pulled me from here," he gestured loosely at the house, "And to your castle, where I was bound to you until death through another ritual, one that would be sealed with the consummation of our marriage." He looked at her sadly, "All I know is that you are from the royal family of sorcerers that torments this land as far as I have ever traveled, which is why I was the demon who as summoned. A demon prince to marry a sorceress princess."

Cecily felt a wave of nausea, memories banging on the inside of her cranium, trying to make a crack to escape. Namjoon flinched at her discomfort, placing his hands gently on her knees.

"I'm afraid your memory loss might be because of me," he looked at her with apologetic eyes, "Either as a result of the whiff of deathsmoke you inhaled, but thankfully not enough to kill you, or by the fall from when I pushed you." He seemed to be beating himself up in an internal dialogue for a moment, "I'm so sorry. If I had known that you weren't a part of the plan...that you were planning to help me...I never would have done you even the smallest harm." Namjoon moved closer to her, so she could read his sincerity in his eyes, "I see now that you're different from them. You have warmth and emotion in your eyes, not the calculating coldness they all had. If I had taken a moment not to presume..."

"It's okay," Cecily answered, bringing her hand up to his cheek, "I'm sure my memories will come back eventually, but I do know at this moment, that I'm thankful that I am here with you all rather than still wherever I was. I can't explain why, but I will as soon as I find out."

Namjoon huffed a breath of relief, his shoulders relaxing, "You seem to be taking this well, considering that Jeongguk told us you obviously had no idea what he was when he was revealed."

"My guardian is a wolf-shifter, there was a giant ice bear in the hall just a couple minutes ago, and apparently Jimin sees the future," Cecily answered, "If hearing you are a demon, who apparently feels sorry for me and wants to be nice, is the weirdest thing I hear today..." she let her voice trail off.

"Well, I can't promise that," Namjoon chuckled, "But, at the very least, I can introduce you properly and make sure you can understand who we are as best as we can explain.
