Kaistern didn't say anything. He just sat there a while longer, enjoying having her in his arms for a while longer. He didn't want to say how he didn't have quite the same amount of confidence as she did. "I should go." he said finally as he released her and stood up, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "People will start to get suspicious if I spend too much time alone in my advisor's room, and I apparently have some meditating to do, or something."

{Timeskip soon?}
"Very well. If you need me at all, you know where to find me." Ophelia said in reply, looking quite pleased as she headed towards the bookshelf in her room. Until she had some official duty to do or something, she would be reading up on the nuances of magical cultures - from that of the demons she assciated with on a daily basis to the arrogant elves to even the rarely spoken to wisps that hid themselves deep within ancient graveyards and enchanted forests.

((I am not smart. I've got a final paper due in a few weeks, I've got an internship when I'm not in class, and I just started up a new rp. So why did I think it a good idea to impulse purchase Tales of Graces? *hugs and caresses game box*))
Contrary to what he himself believed, Kaistern had actually taken up a bit of meditation. If his new demeanor hadn't shocked the servants, knowing their king was currently sitting on his bed in the lotus position in a meditative state certainly did. Later that day, he'd be ending his monster side, or at least he hoped. He'd already told Ophelia, now he was just pumping himself up--spiritually--for the big showdown.

{I just chalk that sort of thing up to human nature. As in, it's human nature to love games. :3}
Ophelia remained calm and quiet, reading her books on magical culture as she waited for Kaistern to summon her. (Or, far more likely, come to get her himself.) She was intentionally distracting herself from what was coming, actively trying to bury resurfacing worries with unrelated tidbits and miscellaneous thoughts that had nothing to do with the situation at hand what so ever.

((Oh, and any idea when you think you'll make that mindless, magic school thing? XD ))
After what seemed like ages, Kaistern slowly opened his eyes and sighed. There was no more putting it off. It was now or never, lest he chicken out at the last moment. He sent word to get a few mages ready while he went to fetch Ophelia, knocking lightly on her door.

{I want to make it today, as in within the hour, but I'm having a hard time thinking up a good magical academy name.}
Ophelia was surprisingly quick to answer the door, her book still left open as it layed atop her mattress. "Yes, Kaistern?" she asked with a small smile, trying to make herself look as calm and confident as possible.

((*turns to library of games and anime for inspiration* Sopheria? Lhant? Vega? Cheria? Guardios? Ruwalk? Rune?))
Kaistern barely let her get the words out of her mouth before he pressed his lips against hers, greeting her with a rather lengthy kiss. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I thought I should at least say a proper good bye before I go charging off into battle, even if you will be around to watch."

{Hm...Lhant sounds good. :3 Then again, so does Ruwalk... Regardless, I'll get started on the intro post and have a few things up soon.}
Ophelia found herself somewhat dazed afterwards, her gaze caught on his lips as her cheeks rosied up to a pleasant pink. "I would point out that you won't be losing your body like this, but I certainly can't complain about that." A small chuckle escaped her lips. "So...that means that you'll be using that solution you told me of now?"

Kaistern gave a small nod. "The mages should be ready for me now. And you too, assuming your offer is still valid..." he said slipping his hand into hers and giving it a small squeeze.

"I would never leave you to face something like this alone." Ophelia affectionately squeezed his hand in return, a warm smile settling upon her lips. For better or worse, she was ready to help Kaistern conquer his inner demon as best as she could. (Or get them to work together, depending on how things turn out. However, seeing the situation as it is now, she highly doubted that would be the case.)

((I'm so proud of myself. With the assistance of a Homestuck character builder on DA and adobe illustrator, my Homestuck profile now has a pic instead. ^.^ ))
Leading her back to his room, the court mages in question had indeed already set up. A circle of runes had been drawn around his large bed in a trail of oddly colored powder, and incense had been set up and lit on both nightstands on either side of the bed. While he went to lay down, one of the mages gave Ophelia a brief explanation and gave her a small medallion, one that had a twin already around Kaistern's neck. "Wear this. It will be your link and act as a bridge into the king's mind. Should anything go wrong while inside, simply remove it and you'll wake up here. Go lay beside him when you're ready."

{Congrats! :3 ...If you wouldn't mind, could you link me to said character builder if you still have the link?}
"Very well." Ophelia muttured, giving a small nod before looking over to the bed. I would make a tasteless joke about them 'sleeping' together and perhaps Ophelia's vaguely stalker-esque tendencies, but alas, that would be far too crass. So instead I shall write this seriously and without breaking the fourth wall, making Ophelia lay herself down for what was to come. emotion_dowant lol
{I didn't break the fourth wall because there is no fourth wall! emotion_awesome ..Okay, I'll stop. >.<}

((With a bit of digging I can, but it's really not that great, only having pieces from the four main kids to mix and match and recolor. >_> ))
While the mages began their chant, Kaistern's hand found its way into Ophelia's once more and gave it one last squeeze before falling into his trance.
~*~*~*~
The inside of his mind looked like his throne room, but there were no other doors or stairs leading out of it. It was a single room, split down the middle with a throne on each side and a Kaistern sitting in each. One half was elegant and mellow in its decor, while the other was grim and dark and looked like a horrible disaster had occurred.
