As Davyn returned from his visit with his brother he was thinking, not typical noble thoughts like politics and money, but how he can improve his weapons further and how he can stop the coming threat of his older sister. Pushing those thoughts out of his mind for a moment he entered his room, though it looked more like a blacksmith shop that had been upgraded to the highest extent. There were almost five workbenches in the room, his bed just being a small mattress built into the wall, and covering the walls was a multitude of different tools on the walls, from hammers to files to wooden spoons and chisels. He then deposited the firearms he was carrying onto an empty workbench and pulled a lever on the wall, a sign emerging from the wall outside the door that said,'The Prince is in!'
He loved the children in his city, so he instructed the guards that if any of their toys were broken that they were to bring them straight to him, child included. He would then usually show them his less deadly inventions such as wind-up toy soldiers and such. He also saw many adults from the city with different concerns and broken tools, which he fixed for free. Unfortunately he did this much less often with the looming threat of his sister he has had to limit the times he does to when he needs inspiration. After he pulled the 'open' lever, he then sat in his rocking chair in the middle of the room facing the open door, after bringing to wooden chairs to face him while he was sitting down."I love this city...I can't let it fall to evil, but the needs of citizens come first before the wants of the ruler." He said peacefully whilst polishing one of his successful inventions, a steam hammer.

After a short while there is a knock on the door and the handle turns. Instead of a guard with a citizen in tow, he is surprised to see Amver poking her head into the room. Seeing Davyn, the castle cook beams her motherly smile at him before bringing in a tray. "I thought you might be shut up in here with your work dear, and wanted to bring you a snack. You neglect to eat so much when you get caught up in your projects!" She scolded him in a friendly way, setting the tray of bread and cheese on a stool near the boy.
"Oh by the by, the sweetest little girl was helping me out in the kitchens today! Knew her way around an oven, at that! And she was telling me how she's in town because a friend of hers is laid low over at the healer's guild. Sounds like a peculiar case if I heard one, and the healers have their hands full! And when she told me, I thought to myself Why the prince has been working on some healing doodad hasn't he?! And I told her about it, and she wanted to ask you herself to take a look at her friend she did. So I told her when you had time maybe you could see about it."

As the cook entered the prince beamed, he loved getting treats while working, mainly because the kids loved treats."Well, you always do know me Amver, I wish i could be with the people and your food more often, but this new tech won't invent itself!" He uttered a hearty laugh as he said the last part, taking two pieces of bread and cheese and made a small sandwich.
As the prince listened and ate his sandwich he thought about the proposition,"It would be good to get out of the castle for awhile, I can probably make a run by the orphanage and check how the kids are doing too...All right Amver! I'll do it, just tell me where she is!" He said as he finished his sandwich, he then grabbed three balls from a pool of odd blue liquid on one of the workbenches. After he placed them in his pouch he strapped his hammer to his back,"can never be too careful, her spies could be anywhere..." He said sadly as he walked back towards the cook.

Amver beamed at him "That's my boy. Never too busy to help a sweet lass. Let's just go pop by the kitchens and see if she's not left yet."
Amver held open the door and the two walked down the hallway. Here on the basement floor the castle wasn't as crowded. Delicious smells soon wafted through the corridors. Smells like some sort of stew for dinner, and fresh bread is baking.
"Oh there you are dear, I found him and he said he come have a look!"

Iona used the apron she was wearing to wipe off her hands as Amver returned. Her long blond hair was braided so it stayed out of her face and there was a smudge of flour on her brow that she didn't know was there. She curtsied to the prince, and curious blue eyes surveyed him.
"Hello your Majesty. Thank you for coming to help. I know that chaos is all about at the moment and things are busy in the kingdom. How are you faring today?"
Iona turned to Amver for a moment. "Amver thank you for asking him on my behalf. I finished making the dough for another loaf while you were gone."

Davyn smiled at the girl and bowed back,"please no formalities, I'm a person just like you are, the only difference being that I was born to a different family." He then perked up as he noticed the flour on the girl's brow,"hold on a sec, lemme get that for you..." He said as he dipped his thumb in a bucket of water nearby and wiped the girl's brow of the baking ingredients.
Davyn smiled and shook his head,"if a prince ever used that as an excuse to not hear out his subjects, then obviously he doesn't have work ethic, honestly it's my brother doing all the work. I just build contraptions and hope they don't explode...sometimes they work though!" He explained as he gestured to the hammer on his back."Honestly I'm doing fine, seeing people hard at work during these times is a great pick-me-up!"

For a prince Iona found Davyn intriguing. Not that she had met many of them, but the dislike of formality seemed to run in the family. Most would hide behind their royal status but not the Draemir's. Their royalty seemed to be only a small part of them instead of a cloak to wear. They seemed to genuinely want to help their people and she respected that.
She admired him putting on a brave face in light of everything that had happened and attempting to find a silver lining somewhere. "If you don't mind me saying so, you're helping him so that means you're working too."
The gesture of removing the flour from her face startled her and she blushed. "Thank you. I hadn't realized that was there." She cleared her throat and lowered her voice.
"You build things with materials that aren't from here. My friend wasn't from here either...Something from where he is from isn't working well here and it's affecting him. I would appreciate it if you would come to the Healers Guild and take a look."

The prince's smile faded when she said that he was working too,"I'm afraid dear that my work won't be done until my people are safe, by any means necessary. Even if it means declaring war on my sister, but enough of that I'm here to help you after all."
Davyn smiled at the blushing girl,"It's fine, usually Calis has to tell me my hairs on fire, or that one of my inventions blew something up, usually the later." He said sheepishly, afterwards instinctively reaching up and checking his hair for embers.
He perked up at the mention of her friend,"I could check it out, but I can make no promises since I am still a beginner at using this technology, let alone building or repairing it."

Her expression sobered some. "My hope is that it does not come to war Your Majesty. Though if it should come to that your family will have allies." Iona's mood lightened at the mention of Calis having to inform him about his hair being on fire.
She laughed a little. "Your hair is safe for now." Iona paused a moment, and then spoke again. "I understand completely, all I ask is that you take a look, and if there is something you can do, wonderful. If not that is alright, that just means other solutions need to be looked into."

Davyn smiled again at her reassurement,"of course, everyone is helping, and your right, may war never reach this city."
Davyn started bouncing at the mentioning of her friend,"well we arn't figuring out anything here! Lets go to the healer's guild!!!" He said as he grabbed the girls hand and ran out of the kitchen towards the temple.
