Dre frowned, giving Iggy a gentle poke of reprimand; she certainly wasn't going anywhere and her uncle was just going to have to deal with it. It seemed that everyone was very interested in keeping the other winged hybrid very calm, however, so she didn't push the issue. Even though she wanted to.
Of all the Cards who wanted to keep the crazy calm, Drostan was probably the most interested in this idea. Out of all the people in the room, the Ace was the most likely to be killed and/or eaten. He very much wanted his mistress' crazy uncle to stay calm.
Rai, however, was a close second; afraid now to even really move, he also didn't dare look towards the youngest of his first batch of children. The amount of hatred the young man had for his father was frightening at times.
Ira tilted his head curiously, waiting for Se's answer. The man, however, seemed to have forgotten about it briefly. "Where did my dagger get put?"

He squirmed slightly under her poke, reaching out and capturing her hand. After he had it captured he laced his fingers through hers.
"Your dagger is quiet safe, do not worry." His words did not explain anything further to the winged-mix or those who were in the room. It also breeched no room for discussion. It would be best for the winged-mix if that topic ended right where it began.
Ira and Iggy had actually confiscated it a few days ago to keep it safe. Knowing some what of what the winged-mix had planned they had thought it better that way.
Trying to bring the winged-mix back to the conversation at hand to have it solved and out of the way he repeated his earlier question. "What is it that you want Ira to do about the kids being in your room earlier?"

Dre subsided when Ignatius caught her hand, especially since he appeased her by lacing their fingers together. He was also quite fortunate that he was so good looking and had such a lovely personality. She did, however, want to know more about this dagger that Ignatius seemed quite determine they not talk about.
Se's ears went back as he finally seemed to recall where the conversation had been heading. "He should eat them." There was a certain note of triumph to that particular sentence.
Drostan flinched, sending Ira a look of discomfort now. Rai would have put his ears back if he'd been in that particular form, but for now his eyes shot over to his eldest son.
Ira seemed entirely unconcerned. "Depends on who the kids are, Se, you know that."
Se shrugged and, again, seemed to be losing interest in the conversation. His eyes followed nothing through the room and out the door, almost as though he was watching someone walk out.

Iggy would appear to be no less phased by what Se had said then Ira seemed to be. Eating children was something that Ira could handle just fine on his own. Looking over to The Queen he gave him a small smile as if to show that the situation was all taken care of.
People seriously should not take everything Se said so personal. Most of the time he was mostly just joking around any way.
Seeing that Se now seemed completely uninterested in what was going on, he spoke up. "Se, why do you not go take a nap? In the third library, perhaps." If Se took the bait it would get him out of their hair for a while. He would also make sure that guards were aware of Se's new location, allowing no one inside to disturb him.
Though if he did that then he would have to face Ira about his daughter. Ira had spawn . . . that was such a strange thought.

Se tilted his head sideways. The dead were surrounding him. There were no real people left. There was one,though. He couldn't remember why he had come in here; he hated this room. He hated it because of who it belonged to. His ears flattened as he looked around and finally caught sight of his father. His teeth showed slightly, as the stallion glanced up to see his son's look of disdain.
"Is he here?" The hatred dripped from his low tones as the winged man asked Iggy without looking away from the Queen of Hearts.
Dre found this exceedingly interesting, especially since the older stallion had frozen again, and something undefinable passed through his eyes. Drostan shared the same interest but in a less connected way. He'd much rather not be here at all.
Ira recognized that this was directed into his own 'mind', and simply waited for Iggy to help deflect the hybrid away again.

"No" He replied easily, giving a small shrug before continuing on to provide an explanation to the winged-mix. "You are simply tired so it is all in your mind. You should take a nap and it will all go away." He acted as if it all made perfect sense, almost in a bored kind of fashion.
He was a little worried that Se might not actually take that for a suitable answer. Giving Dre's hand, which he still gently held hostage, a small squeeze he tired to let her know that he might have to move suddenly without warning. He never took his eyes off of Se. Should the need arise he would have to step between His Majesty and Se himself and bodily force the other male to back down.
Quietly he waited for see what the winged-mix would do.

Se shuffled on his feet, trying to decide what he thought. He hated it when his delusions stared at him. He growled again, sending an ability at the hallucination. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. This time, the Queen twitched for a moment, then went still again.
No retaliation. Se shuffled uneasily on his feet again. Something was wrong. He growled under his breath. He looked over towards the white Card and the Ace hunched up his shoulders uneasily.
Dre grew serious at Ignatius' warning, though she wasn't yet certain what he was trying to tell her. It seemed unwise, however, to give her uncle the opportunity to get worked up.
"Aren't the libraries very empty about this time of day?" she asked the room in a general sort of way.
"As a matter of fact, I think they are," Ira replied.
Se turned to look towards his eldest brother in confusion. "Wot?"
Ira gave a shrug, opening his mouth to answer when a servant stepped into the room. "Your Majesty, the committee is here with the paperwork--"
Se reacted immediately, teeth bared, he launched himself at the servant. Shinrai rose, responding as well, calling forth magic to protect the servant. Se's body slammed into the canine's, but he then rose and stepped away, standing still with his head down.
"Leave us," the Queen said quietly. "I don't want to be disturbed." The servant scampered away in near panic; leaving Rai in control of his youngest adult child.
The Queen fought to keep his sadness and frustration out of his voice, "Well. This is interesting."

Iggy was a little confused over what Dre was trying to get at with her comment. What would the libraries being empty this time of day have to do with anything?
Hearing the servant at the door he twirled around to face the stranger. Not good. Before he could react Se launched himself at the canine . . . but did not appear to be attacking further. What in all the Suits?
As the canine did something smart and rushed off Iggy made his way slowly over to where the other two males stood, dragging Dre along with him. Looking back and forth between the two of them he raised a questioning eyebrow. He thought he had seen everything so far, but from the looks of it that was not true.
"Would someone explain what just happened?" He asked warily eying the winged-mix who seemed to still just be sitting there.

Dre's breath had caught in her throat at the beginning of the attack and she was quite glad to follow Ignatius; she didn't want to leave him alone. She was fairly certain she heard Drostan gasp, and she checked on him as they moved by. The Ace was sending her a flat, angry stare and she was reassured that he seemed to be just fine.
Ira flicked his tail, coming over to give his brother a poke in the side.
"Leave him alone, Ira." Rai's voice came from the still body.
Ira turned to smile at his Mommy. "You can keep control of him for about an hour, right?"
Se's body remained still though Shinrai nodded with a small sigh. "Yes, though I'd rather not." Not that it mattered a great deal at this point; Se was going to be furious once he was free again.

Iggy watched as Ira went over to Se poking him in the side. It was only now that he could recognize the signs of someone being controlled. Well that was spiffy cool! There had been a few times when he had seen Se use it before, but there was something different about it when it was done to Se. Tilting his head to the side he carefully surveyed the winged-mix.
Even if The Queen only had control over his youngest son for only an hour it was precious time that they could use to their advantage. "Could you make him go to the library?" He asked, keeping his tone respectful. If they could just get the winged-mix away from all of this they could put him to sleep. When he woke up hopefully he would not remember any of it . . . and if he did the Iggy would just have to explain it away as a dream.
