"Humph. You are a child stuck in a mans body, how pathetic using such child like vocabulary." The guard grunts and keeps paying attention, his ear waiting for a different sound.

"Well that mark on your chest has already healed and turned into a scar. I doubt putting this salve on there will do anything."

say the guard who is compensating for something *max says with a smirk* I didn't know you were into men that are so young, that they could be your sons *hears that it cant be fixed* oh ok, so are we done now doctor?

The guard just gives Max a weird look as he raises a thick eyebrow. The sudden change in demeanor took him off guard, but he made sure to keep his hand on the hilt just in case.

"Yes that is all lad," the elderly doctor takes out a small pouch where he places a small jar of salve and bandages inside. Tightening the cord, he stands to hand it to the guard but suddenly falls to his knees. The guard turned and also knelt as Elson softly walked down the hallway.

"Rise both of you, there is no need to kneel in this type of place," Elson's voice was full of gentleness as he helped the doctor back to his feet and the guard regained his composure. "What is your report?"

"Ah the lad's chest has already scarred, but his wrists are preventable. My Prince, here is a small pouch of the salve that he will need to be given daily to prevent infection and scarring as well as fresh bandages. You know what I will already say about this condition." The old man looked up at him and Prince Elson just nodded and took the pouch.

"Servant, bring me the robe that I asked you to bring."

A young girl in her teens came in with a brown robe and down-casted her eyes as she bowed, handing him the robe.

"Thank you, you are all dismissed," he says to the guard and servant before handing the robe to Max. "Put this on so we can bring you into the castle." His tone of voice has changed from being gentle to stern as he didn't want any arguments.

*max watched in silence the entire time* oh ok *grabs the robe and puts it on* just because your the prince of this castle does not mean I will listen to you, or be your slave. just so you know what am I saying, in my condition I better do what he wants me to do

"We can discuss that later. Let us go now," Elson begins to walk away from him.

fine then *walks behind elson* so...what are u going to do to me?

"First we are going to get you cleaned up. You smell horrible and those clothes are going to get thrown away since they are tattered. After that, you will find out later." Says Elson as he grabs his own brown cloak from the door and walks out as he covers his head.

Once outdoors, the city was slowly becoming more lively as people were setting up the morning market. Peasants and the lower class bringing their wares as they decorated their booths. Soldiers in two different types of armor roamed the alleys and streets. One in traditional metal armor. Another in a black and silver studded armor.

whatever, as long as I get to keep my necklace *max puts out his gold heart shape necklace that is hanging around his neck, max says following Elson* ok so where are we going? *max notices that a few guys with swords are staring at him with death looks, and so he hids on the other side of Elson and grabs his arm. then regains himself after a minute or 2* sorry about that Elson *blush red out of embarrassment*

"Don't worry about it and we are heading to the keep to get your cleaned up like I said," Elson didn't even bother looking at Max as he continued his stride until he passed the large double doors towards to castle.

There were nobles and soldiers milling about as the two men walked and none seemed to pay any attention to them. After many stone steps to get to the castle doors, Elson removes his cloak as the door suddenly opens with at least a dozen men and women seeming to be waiting.

In unison they all bowed as one man says, "Welcome back my prince."

"Is everything prepared?"

"Yes, we can take your companion now if you wish."

"Good, and where is my father?"

"He is in the study, my prince."

"Thank you and Max, they will take care of you." With that said, Elson hands the cloak to one of the servants and begins to walk towards the study that is upstairs to the left.

"Now if you come with us, we will get you cleaned up," said the male servant as he motions you to follow them up the staires and to the right.

ok good, because I always want this with me *max follows Elson* wait he cant be serious!? Fuck he is *max starts to get worried but doesn't let it show* ok, that sounds fine to me *max says not wanting to be here and just wash up by himself* ok then *follows the servant, once there* um so what do you need me to do first?
