He was oblivious to the fact that her excitement might be due to anything other then her chance to meet people she held a high interest in.
"Well, I am needing to meet up with Se today. However, I am not sure what His Highness Ira will be up to today, so I can not promise that we will get to meet him. He is often with his father but sometimes likes to wander off, so one is lucky to get ahold of him. Or at least it feels that way sometimes." The last part was mumbled to himself. At least he hoped that he would be able to find Se, otherwise that could mean more then one problem to fix. Ira would be a hit or miss.
We are going to see the yellow wings today?
That is the plan yes He replied back, not skipping a beat of what was going on around him.

Dre made a noise of interest, her head up and swinging from one direction to the next, very nearly as though this was her first time in the Palace. Really, this was the first time she'd ever approached the Court of Hearts as any sort of 'tourist' and she was quite pleased to take advantage of that now. The Court really was quite beautiful.
Drostan gave a low harumph under his breath; since they were now home, he would much rather just go back to Dre's rooms and nap or plot how he was going to kill the idiotic servants who kept treating him as though he had no brains wotsoever.
They moved to a less used part of the Palace and evidently just in time. A scream of terror echoed through the hallway and a loud crash soon followed. It wasn't long before a servant, blood covering one of her legs, came bolting by and a scream of rage echoed down the hall.

They made their way down the hallways at an easy pace, not in any hurry to get anywhere soon. Hearing the scream of terror that came down the hallway, the relaxed appearance he wore disappeared as he pulled himself up to his full height, a coldness settling around him. Without being told he would know that whatever was going on involved Se.
Master? Juris asked, having sensed the change in his Master's body.
Yes?
I think Yellow Wings is upset.
Taking in the injured servant with calculating eyes he then hurried his steps down the hall. So it would seem, he replied. The scream of rage that echoed a moment later was one he recognized easily. There would be nothing that would distract him or keep him from his task at hand. Reaching the scene, he stood there taking in everything that was going on, calculating what would be needed of him.

Dre tensed at the first sound of trouble and she sensed the immediate change in the man beside her. He was swiftly off and the woman followed behind him with Drostan directly on her heels. She hesitated just a bit further back then other hybrid, golden gaze impassive as well as she took in her uncle.
He was back in animal form, blood on his muzzle and standing in the midst of destruction and chaos. His wings cupped around him as though he were protecting something, but nothing sat between his forepaws.
He was muttering under his breath, the words almost nonsensical. "They weren't there. They went by, but they weren't there; they're never there! NEVER."
He seemed completely unaware of the three Cards standing at his door and in fact probably was. The King seemed on the verge of exploding into violence yet again.

Iggy took in the appearance of the winged-mix, recognizing it for all that it could mean. He waved anyone who might have foolishly remain away. This would have to be handled carefully. It had been a while since he had seen Se this upset over something.
What in the world had people been doing to him while he had been gone?
"Who is not?" He asked, acting as if he had been part of the whole conversation. He used a tone that the winged-mix would recognize and hopefully it would be one that he would respond too as well. Nothing could really be done unless he knew what it was that had set the canine off this time. One, not even him, could be one hundred percent sure that it would work, though. It had in the past, one would have to hope for the future.

Dre took the wave to mean that she and Drostan should remain still and for now she was quite pleased to do so. She felt her breath catch slightly as the handsome Corvistowne/Morganberry nonchalantly approached the hunched figure in the room beyond. He seemed entirely unconcerned, however, and she tried to let that be her guide.
Drostan, for his part, would not be stepping into that particular room, no matter what his air-headed mistress might think. He quickly sat his butt down and was very well-prepared to turn tail and run if such a retreat was needed.
Se didn't move when Iggy approached him, for a moment freezing before his strange green eyes rolled up to stare at the other man. "Where've you been all day?" The Gardens hybrid asked the question in a normal tone of voice, as though he hadn't just been screaming or talking to himself.

Leaving Dre and her Ace at the doorway he walked slowly with an even pace until he reached to side of the winged-mix. Once he had and he heard the more normal tone the winged-mix used to respond, he allowed himself to only relax a minute bit. It would not do him well to completely let his guard down around the yellow male. One never knew when things were going to change.
He kept eye contact with the male but not doing so in a way he would see as threatening. "I was in the Capital running errands." He responded easily having decided to keep it to the truth and to keep it simple. The explanation should be something that the winged-mix would understand as not uncommon for the Club to do, since he did it at least once a week. At least that is what he was hoping the winged-mix would remember.

Se's ears twitching at the words and he silently mused over the meaning behind it. Why would his mind go on vacation for the day and leave him behind? It wasn't logical. He caught sight of his room again and his ruff raised up as a snarl curled at his teeth again. "They destroyed it all," he snapped again. "I should find them and make them pay."
He exploded upwards, storming suddenly away from the other male to viciously kick at the ruins of a chair. It splintered further, adding to the mess that already littered the room."&^#@ kids."
Dre didn't jump at the strange man's sudden movements, though Drostan did. She tensed up again, ready to leap in to Ignatius' defense. When she realized he was going the other way, she relaxed slightly herself, putting a comforting hand on the Ace.

Looking around the room he was not completely sure what the winged-mix was going off about now. "Ah well, &^#@ing kids indeed." He agreed, crossing his arms across his chest, assuming that the winged-mix meant the newest kids of His Majesty had been through here for fun.
"Why do you not come with me and leave all of this for the servants to clean up?" He offered. Anything that would get the winged-mix away from something that so easily get him angry sounded like a good idea. "We are going to go in search of Ira." He added, deciding only then that that was their new plan.
"You could tell him what you think of the kids." If the winged-mix needed a target then he was going to offer him one. Preferably not him if he did not have to take the blow.

The chances of getting someone to just volunteer to clean the room now was pretty slim; after all, Se had just sent the last one bleeding and screaming away. Still, if his mind thought he should go tell Ira, he would have to go tell Ira.
Errands in the Capital?
He turned and stalked to the door, stopping suddenly to stare at the Highland woman standing there. She didn't move, but he could tell that she was ready to. Behind her a white fluff lingered and the King stared at the pair of them for a very long moment. He had never seen this particular delusion before and he was entirely certain what to make of it.
The yellow hybrid waited until his mind had caught up with him then jerked his head towards the woman and Ace. "Wot's this?" he asked flatly, waiting for the explanation that would of course make their presence clear.
