The House Of Westmore

Artemis let out a sigh. "You think he'll ever learn?" He asked as he watched Jacen.

Jasper looked around again, working on a plan to get to the prince. He grinned when he saw something he could work with. "Isn't that one of Raven's with the king? If you let Raven know what's going on over there, I could get to the prince while everyone's distracted."

Jacen laughed and shook his head, already having had a few drinks. "What? That's stupid, it just makes things more fun!"

Alex sighed and shook his head, "I don't know... I just don't know."

Mason smirked and nodded, "I will gladly tell him, just be ready." He quickly made his way over to Raven and bowed, "Your highness, I noticed you lost one of your servants, it seems king Jacen has found him." He pointed over to Frankie and Jacen, knowing the other king would be angry.

Frankie flushed with embarrassment a little and looked down.

"Well, I hope so." Artemis sighed. "Before he gets himself into some real trouble..."

"Yes sir." Jasper nodded. He knew it was improper to call him 'sir', but he didn't care. He knew Mason wouldn't get rid of him. With a smirk, he slipped into the crowd, working his way towards the prince.
"What?!" Raven hissed and spun around to look where the other king was pointing, glaring at Jacen when he saw him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jacen asked, pouting before leaning closer. "I didn't upset you, did I?"

Alex nodded, "Trouble that being a king can't get him out of..."

Dante stood away from the crowd by himself, hoping to catch a breath from the crowded party.
Mason smirked to himself and waited to watch the fireworks.

Frankie looked up before biting his lip softly when he saw Raven coming towards them.

"I hope he never ends up in a situation like that," Artemis frowned. "There wouldn't be too much we could do to help..."

Jasper stood nearby, watching quietly while he waited for the right moment to go over to him.

"What- Is somethin' wrong?" Jacen asked after another drink, not noticing the other king coming over.

Raven growled and delivered a slap to Frankie, "Your worthless servant! How dare you wonder!" He turned his glare to Jacen, "And how dare you try and steal my servant!"

"You mean trouble like that?" Alex asked as the fight caught his eye and most of the courts.

Dante heard Raven and turned to look.

"I wasn't trying to 'steal' him!" Jacen responded angrily, not liking how Raven had hit Frankie. "And he is not worthless!"

"Yeah." Artemis sighed when he heard the noise. "Like that..."

Jasper turned to look at the scene as well before glancing back at Dante from his spot.

Raven turned and got in Jacen's face, "I don't believe you."

Alex sighed and started over to help Jacen.

Dante bit his lip as he watched before sighing softly.

"Hm, odd coming from someone like you." Jacen smirked. "Aren't you usually the one no one listens to?"

"Wait-" Artemis said, reaching out to stop Alex.

Raven sneered, "I'm not the one that makes a fool out of myself with drink!"

Alex stopped and looked at Artemis.

"I- I am not making a fool of myself." Jacen responded, shaking his head.

"Just wait..." Artemis said quietly, hoping Jacen might realise his drinking habit was a bad thing.

"You have been, I've heard stories!" Raven answered.

Alex slowly nodded and waited.

Dante slowly opened his eyes, having blacked out for a few moments.

"I don't make a fool of myself. I have fun." Jacen replied rudely. "Better than what you do."

"Stay quiet." Jasper said quietly, putting a hand over Dante's mouth.

"Your response proves my point." Raven said, "Anything you do you just deem it "fun" and make a fool of yourself."

Dante froze as he felt the hand over his mouth, he had never heard the man's voice before and he wasn't sure what was going on.

"I do not!" Jacen snapped at him.

"A fight broke out in the hall, I took you out here where it's safe. I'm one of your family's guards." Jasper lied.

Raven crossed his arms in a way of asking him to prove he was wrong.

Dante frowned worriedly, "Is everyone okay?" He asked softly, not even sure where they were at.

Jacen went to argue, but realised Raven did have a point. He sighed and hung his head.

"They should be but your father wanted you safe."

Raven smugly turned to walk away.
Frankie stayed where he was, no following Raven.

"Oh..." Dante said softly, running a hand through his hair as he looked around.

"At least I'm not cruel, like you..." Jacen said quietly as Raven turned away.

"It'll be alright." Jasper reassured him.

Raven looked at him.
Frankie nervously stepped in front of Jacen, hoping  Raven would leave Jacen alone if he noticed him.

Dante nodded slowly, feeling a bit sleepy as he blinked.

"What are you doing?" Jacen asked Frankie, frowning.

"You fainted before I think, we should probably get you somewhere you can rest." Jasper told him, though he'd actually drugged the prince under Mason's orders.

"His mood is too foul, please just let me take his focus off you for a while sir." Frankie answered.

Dante nodded slowly, having trouble staying awake now, "Yes..."

Jacen shook his head. "He'll hurt you."

"Come here." Jasper said, holding a hand out to him.

"I will be fine..." Frankie lied unconvincingly.

Dante slowly took his hand, his head fuzzy.

"No you won't."

Jasper carefully picked him up before smirking.
