"Well..." Raythor said, then trailed off. He flicked his eyes over her. "What?" Ketra asked, looking faintly interested. "I have always been under the impression she just waited for you to come home." "She mixes herbs and stuff. Sells love potions." The dark haired boy said, shrugging. "Really?" Markus said, now sounding interested himself. "I don't suppose you have one of those, do you?" "Do you really think they work?" He raised an eyebrow. "And I don't. But she makes me take this one." Raythor said, holding up a green vial. "And what is that one?" The prince asked hopefully. "Do you really want to know?" Raythor grinned. The Everglade siblings kept their eyes on him. "She calls it birth control. Supposedly it stops her from getting pregnant." "You had twins." Ketra pointed out. "Yes. Which is why she started making this stuff. I'm not even sure this works, I think we're just lucky. All she's good at is burn salves. Easy stuff like that." "Can I see that?" Markus asked. "Markus, you don't need that at all." Ketra said with amusement. "I know, I'm just curious." "Knock yourself out." Raythor said lazily, tossing it to him. "She told me to stop taking it anyway." Ketra's nose wrinkled with slight disgust.

Anella looked more than a little ill. "That's....wonderful." She said, not even trying to sound like she ment it. "If that really did work, your wife could make a lot of money." Davon said in a serious voice.

"That's my wife." Raythor said, rolling his eyes. "I mean, yeah, if it worked we could be rich. But we're the only one's testing it so we may never know." "Uncle Richard would love this." Markus said, tossing it back to Raythor. "Well I think I know what he's getting for his birthday." Ketra said. "What if it doesn't work?" Markus said. Ketra just smiled.

"This may be out of place, but may I ask who this Uncle Richard is?" Davon said, putting on a formal tone. "I know a perminant way to have "birth control"" Anella simply muttered to herself.

"Our whorish uncle." Ketra said simply and distinctly unformally. "Our father's younger brother." Markus added. "Who enjoys maids a little too much." Raythor grinned and shook his head, glancing at his vial briefly before returning it to his bag.

"And everyone knows?" Davon said "I guess he must be imune to scandal." "How nice for him." Anella said, her tone relaxing just a little.

"He's just done it so many times it doesn't really matter anymore." Markus said, shrugging. "I mean, he's a very happy guy. Enjoys his life." "Not so much our Aunt Elena." Ketra said and Markus nodded in agreement.

"He must hire increasingly stupid maids." Anella said with the hint of a smirk. Davon grinned too.

"Oh, believe me he has to." Markus said. "Or one's who all ready uh..." "Fell from grace?" Ketra supplied. "With some other noble. Or its a punishment." "A maid knows she's going to hell when her lord tells her 'we're sending you to work for Richard Everglade in Imperia." "Let's change our last name." "I'm in." Raythor said blankly, half paying attention.

"If they really wanted to teach them a lesson, they could just send them to Caltha." Davon said snidely. Anella glanced at him. "Why's that?" She said as if she didn't already know. "Because it's the rotten festering wound of the world?" Davon said, smirk growing wider. "Not that I should say that, being a general and all." "An ex-general." Anella pointed out cooly. His face fell a little.

"As a Calthan, I really can't argue." Raythor said. "Though, Davon, you really should have thought about how badly you wanted to remain a general with you joined a warrior queen." "At least you upgraded though." Markus said positively. "Even if you did lose your position, you get the honor of serving a much better monarch." "Yes Markus. Cover that earlier guilt with compliments." "I do think that. Honestly."

"I'm sure I won't regret it." Davon said, not looking quite as confident as he was trying to sound. "Getting away from her.." "If you prove your worth, then I'm sure you won't." Anella said, not sounding comforting at all.

"Get on that." Raythor said with faint amusement. "Maybe Everglade should get a new general..." Ketra said blankly. "I'm the one who lost the last battle. Maybe we should get anew prince instead." Markus said. "Well, if you would just-" "So, Anella, how have you been?"

"I think you know how I've been." Anella said with vague amusement in her voice. "I've been living in your house. "I wonder who Rea will get to replace me..." Davon mummbled to himself.

"Oh. Right." Markus said sheepishly. "Well it's been very nice to have you. I hope you stay longer." Raythor was looking at Markus with a 'really?' expression, but Ketra was listening to Davon. "Well, she will probably choose the officer who was under you. But, knowing Rea, you can't be certain. She could pick someone completely incompetent." Ketra said. Markus blinked as he hadn't even heard Davon speak but Raythor grinned. "Maybe she'll pick me. I could use the money." "You?" Ketra raised an eyebrow. "I'm joking. That wouldn't even make enough sense to be a Rea-ism."
