Camery. Valatieri -
Camery watched carefully as Jack handed over his weapons. She just looked scared, but he, as always was calm and relaxed. He had the training... in any situation, he could get out of this if he had to.
She blew out a soft breath after a moment and shook her head. "We really can't do that, sir," she almost whispered, chewing the inside of her cheek.
Jack nodded in agreement.
"We're on official duty here. Our location is inside the Day Kingdom. We're just cutting through here as we lost our transport," he then added. |

Camery Valatieri -
Camery just shook her head in response. She couldn't reveal to anyone who she was, or where the were going. That was the point of all this - so she'd be where only people she trusted know.
"Thats not possible," she whispered. Jack squeared up a little fed up of all this.
"You're going to have to arrest us, then. We can't disclose our location," he insisted. It didn't matter if they got arrested. They would be let out, but Cam had a feeling that it wouldn't help this rivalry. |

Camery Valatieri -
Camery let out a soft hum in response to the guards comments. Her shoulders dropped, but the two of them complied quietly. Fighting wouldn't help. Jack was on edge. No harm would time to the princess, not a chance. This was better than fighting and trying to get away.
They soon arrived at the castle, though, and they were hustled into the cells. Camery was on edge, clearly, it was all terrifying to her. She didn't want to be anywhere near this castle.
Jack was seated next to her, his calm demeanour nothing but calming her a little. "Cam, don't worry. We won't be here for long," he hummed, resting his head back on the wall behind them. "You say it like you've done this before," she mused lightly to him, her voice quiet but trying to find amusement.
He shrugged lightly. "I'm trained for everything," he hummed thoughtfully. |

Camery Valatieri -
Camery sat for a while, waiting for... something to happen. She didn't know what. To be let out, to be tormented, or for something she didn't know.
She closed her eyes for what seemed like forever, until she heard the soft muttering of a familiar voice. She looked up, her breath hitching for a moment.
He looked exhausted. A shell of that strong man she'd spent the last few months with. She sighed, standing up. Jack was passed out as they were set free... well, nearly free. They were still being escorted out of the kingdom. She sighed softly, knowing she'd have to wait.
Her gaze softened slightly as she watched Malakai leave. She was scared of him. Still, she loved him. She wanted to apologise, at every least. For all of this. He really seemed like he believed everything he was saying. "Kai," she muttered under her breath, her brows pinched softly together, hoping heard her. |

Camery Valatieri -
Camery stood still for a moment, letting the guards take those god awful handcuffs off her. Her face was drawn and tired, knowing they would have a long way to travel.
She looked back up at Malakai, though, her features soft as she looked over at him. He walked towards her, and she froze for just a moment. Was he angry at her, for chasing him away? For telling her father? All guards but one filed out, the only one left being the one that would be taking them to the boarder.
She just watched him for a moment. Watched as he stood across the room, so deflated. He looked tired. Like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Well... he was now, sort of. He was nothing but a shell now.
A frown crossed her face as she listened to him. His voice was so soft. It told her more than she needed to know. A hand came up to her wrists and gently rubbed the red lines where the handcuffs had been too tight.
"I'm sorry," she said simply, her eyes doey and her shoulders slumped. She wasn't sure what she was apologising for... maybe chasing him out, maybe because of her father, or maybe it was something entirely different. |
