The House Of Westmore

"Of course I know who." Jasper replied. "No idea how long though."

"Hopefully." Artemis agreed.
"Hey, what're you all sad for?" Jacen asked them, unaware of what was going on.

Dante nodded slowly, "Oh... My family will be worried..."

Leo bowed and left the room.
"Dante... Is missing..." Alex answered softly.

"Not my problem." Jasper shrugged.

"Dante's...what?" Jacen asked, frowning.

Dante looked at the man, trying to figure out anything to get home.

"He's missing..." Alex repeated softly.

"What are you looking at?" Jasper asked rudely.

Jacen quickly got up from his chair, almost falling as he did so. "He's what?! W-Why?"

"Nothing..." Dante answered before quickly looking away and pulling his knees to his chest.

"We don't know..." Alex answered softly, looking worried for Dante.

Jasper sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"He's never done anything bad to people..." Jacen frowned.

Dante didn't like just sitting and he sighed before trying to settle for looking around the room.

"He's a good and kind person..."

"There are no other ways out." Jasper told him. "I doubt you can reach the window."

"I...know." Jacen replied, hiccupping.
Artemis sighed. "We should get you to bed."

"O-Oh..." Dante replied softly.

Alex nodded with a sigh, "Yeah..."

"You really think I'm that stupid?"

"I-I'm fine..." Jacen mumbled.

"No... I just was looking..." Dante whimpered.

"You have Raven yell at you, anyone needs rest after that.'

"Well good luck with that."

"But-" Jacen went to argue before going quiet after Artemis gave him a look.

Dante leaned his head on his knees.

"Come on." Alex said softly.

Jasper smirked and leaned back, closing his eyes.

Jacen sighed and slowly nodded.

Dante let his eyes close, deciding it was safe enough to sleep.

Alex lead his brother in law to his room, but his mind was on his missing son.

Jasper stayed awake a little longer before falling asleep.

Artemis followed behind them, glancing over towards Raven before they left the room.
"Do we really have to go? I liked talking to that guy..." Jacen whined.

Alex frowned, Jacen must of had more the drink then they thought if that was his reaction. "Sire... Your nephew is missing..." He fought to keep his voice level as he said this.

"Oh right..." Jacen said, suddenly upset again. "Then what are we doing?"
"You are going to bed Jacen." Artemis said, gritting his teeth.

"You need to go rest, ye have had too much to drink..." Alex said, sounding upset.

Leo moved through the woods as he tried to track his nephew.

"But I want to help!" Jacen protested, almost falling over as he stopped and turned to face them.
"You can, when you are better." Artemis said, struggling to keep calm as he stopped his brother from falling.

Seeing Leo travelling on his own, a group of bandits begun following him through the woods, recognising him as part of the royal family.

"Go rest, you can't do anything until you've recovered..." Alex said softly.

Leo slowed slightly, he could tell someone was following him. He carefully pulled out his knife and waited to see what they would do.

Jacen made a sound, somewhere between annoyed and sulking, but turned to continue heading to his bedroom anyway.

The group continued following him a little longer before a few of them jumped out to try catch Leo.

Alex glanced over at his husband, it was hard trying to keep it together and Alex had to calm himself down a few times.

Leo growled and stabbed one of his attackers in the knee, only able to hit the one before being grabbed from behind.

Artemis sighed, helping his brother to his bed before returning to Alex. "Well that's one problem sorted at least."

"Oh! Look who we have here." The bandit leader smirked as he grabbed Leo.
