Waking up slightly dazed, Daniel starts to fidget around in the bed he now finds himself in.
"Where am I?" He asks as he begins to come around.
"Hospital" Michael tells him, holding his hand tightly.
"The last time we heard bells, we were retreating" a familiar voice mumbles next to him.
"Tommy" Daniel mutters with great relief.
"How you feeling?" He asks
"So, soooo much pain" he replies quietly.
He looks up to see the Haven soldiers sitting around Angel, who has not yet woken up.
Exhausted, tired and fed up, Daniel falls to sleep.
News reports have been put together of all the incidents taking place in Stannoss, and one person in particular, is not pleased.
Viewing the TV reports and various articles on screens in front of him, the king paces up and down impatiently.
"Your majesty ..." His personal assistant 'Jacob' attempts to say.
"That idiot, that fucking idiot, he disappears for months on end and then turns up out of the blue, in Stannoss of all places" the king begins to rant.
"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna fucking kill him" he continues to ramble now storming out of the room.
"Your majesty, you have a meeting with the admiral" Jacob informs him.
"Tell her to fuck off!" He snaps and storms off.
"Um ... Dooley noted" Jacob mumbles.
Practically marching down the corridor, the king takes an abrupt turn into a study room, the queen is quietly admiring the gardens, viewing them from one of the many windows in the room.
"That fucking idiot!" The king remarks announcing his presence loudly.
"Hello to you too" the queen replies.
"A message from the admiral, ahem ... You fuck off" Jacob states, peering his head around the doorway before disappearing again.
"I take it you have seen everything that is going on?" She asks moving over to sit down with him.
The king is now sat down sprawled out with his hand covering his face in a dramatic pose.
"He's gonna be the death of me" he mutters.
"I've been informed he's using that bloody nickname, I can't understand why, there isn't anything angelic about him, whatsoever" he continues to rant.
"Oh really, and there was me thinking you calling him that was charming" she mutters in a teasing manner before picking up her saucer, and taking a sip out of her cup.
"We were kids back then, and you, are not funny" he replies with a glare.
"Admit it, you miss having him around" she remarks.
"Hey bitches" the prince yells announcing his presence from underneath a pile of blankets next to the coffee table.
"Late night was it?" The queen asks.
"I've still got music ringing in my ears" he replies.
"I can't believe we are in the middle of a war, and all you can do is go out partying" the king remarks.
"Someone's got to enjoy themselves" he mutters back.
"Well enjoy it while you can" the king reminds him.
