Mackenzie nearly bolted upright at his comment, although she was too comfortable, so she simply lifted her head up and elbowed him. Not hard, but enough to make a statement. His comment was muffled, but she had heard it well enough. "You mean with your mum as a wee lad?" She retorted, a giggle being suppressed in her tone.

His blonde hair was definitely a couple shades darker than her own. In comparison, he could be considered more of a dirty-blonde. When in truth, that wasn't the case. He was definitely just a blonde. But considering her hair was such an opaque and vibrant color, it almost made him look like he had a dusting of dirt. Genetics were sure as hell interesting.

When Wolfgang began to roll over, she was almost scared she'd have to move, or get rolled ontop of. While that wasn't entirely the case, he still ended up pretty close to her. Mackenzie wasn't really going to have any of that. She had two options - roll away and roll off the bed, or push him over.

Or you know, flop on top of him. But why would she do that?

Without any warning, Mackenzie shuffled just a bit closer to Wolfgang, right before she used her shoulder to push him over a good couple of inches on the bed. Not exactly to where he had been before, but so that she had a bit more space. "Trying that hard to get closer to me, Wolfie~?" She said, this time letting herself giggle a bit.

When her shoulder touched his, Wolfgang smiled. Which he regretted as he was immediately shoved away. The boy pushed back, touching her shoulder to his once more. "Maybe this whole being in a game thing has gotten me a little desperate." he said. The boy looked up at the ceiling some more, and after a few moments, he turned over onto his side, leaning on his forearm, looking down at her. He wasn't smiling anymore.

"Do you think he is watching us right now?" the boy asked. It had never drifted through his head, but now that he was alone with a girl in a private room...perhaps it wasn't so private? The thought didn't sit well in his stomach, which ached with venomous disgust. Oh god, how much did that guy really watch of them?

The moment Wolfgang's shoulder met hers once more, Mackenzie was just about to push him away with even more force. But she paused the moment he admitted to his fault... kind of? A grin of her own spread on her face as she let her head just hit the plush coverlet again. It was kind of nice having the company of another.

That smile wiped away the moment he sat up and spoke again.

A sharp chill ran down the girls' spine, her jaw clenching. God, she had tried to forget all about Ratman. But how could she? "I sure as hell hope not..." Her pale hand came up to her face to cover her eyes, trying to imagine why the guy had nothing better to do then watch a bunch of teenagers. Surely, he had something else to do?

Any idea of privacy was whisked away from the girl in that moment, and she didn't stomach it very well. Her hand still covered her eyes from the world around her, as if it pained her to look at the beautiful room. "If that's the case, then I hope that sick bastard rots in hell." Finally she dared bring her hand away from her brilliant blue eyes. Her gaze landed back on the Lancer, but only for a bit, before traveling to stare at the ceiling. One hand rested on her stomach, right where she could feel her 'heartbeat.'

Wolfgang looked into her eyes as she opened them. Perhaps that eased him. There wasn't anything they could do anyway, and worrying about what-ifs would only stress them. Besides. Didn't religious people have solace in God watching them at all times? The boy collapsed again. "Eh, whatever. It just reminds him how pathetic he is." His bangs fell over his face, his eyes peeking through the dark cuts through his vision. His clacked his teeth, moving his jaw back and forth.

Perhaps it was that he returned her gaze that made her look away. She couldn't exactly comment. "He is rather pathetic." Her gaze soon returned though, a smirk creeping onto her face as his bangs fell in front of his eyes. Mackenzie took that as a cue to sit up, her blonde locks falling back into their proper place behind her as she did so. She was still definitely beside Wolfgang.

Messing with her wrist cuffs, her eyes narrowed as she took more in of the bedroom. If Shepard walked in, she'd be dead. That thought made her chuckle. "Do you want to go explore more of the Castle? I don't mind staying here. This bed is very soft."

When the girl sat up, Wolfgang peeked out from under his hair. At her proposition, he groaned. His head had settled into the fabric. "You have to pull me up," he moaned, like someone who had been asleep for thousands of years. Perhaps there was a whole castle ahead of them, beyond this one room, but he knew his head would feel like lead once he got up. It already had a light throb to it.

Kenzie chuckled at his unwillingness to get out of the comfortable fabric. Reaching over him and grabbing his lyre, she let herself fall back into the comforts of the bed once more. "Too much effort." Her fingers started once more plucking at the strings, the soft hum echoing off of the walls of the room. "I also don't feel like exploring it by myself. You're stuck with me." She turned her head towards him, sticking out her tongue.

Wolfgang reached up his hands, but there was no reciprocation. She fell down next to him. Maybe that was a good thing, but the boy figured that laying down all day wouldn't do him much good. He made a mental note of that place, though. He wasn't just going to go back to his room once nightfall came, that was for sure...

The boy got up, the bed shifting as he got to his feet and stretched. It felt like he'd been there forever. Orange light came through the window, a sign of sunset, and after he arched his back, he turned to the girl and held out both his hands.

"Come on," he said, clapping them together.

Unless they found another room, Mackenzie herself would most likely be returning to her issued apartment. While it was nice to lounge around here, she didn't exactly want to find herself killed in the middle of the night because she wasn't allowed to be here. As ludicrous as the idea sounded, Mackenzie most certainly did not want to risk it. Anything could go in this game.

Well, anything could go in this game... Could she possibly find a room in the castle of her own to retire to each night?

As her 'companion' of discovery rose once more, she herself did again. She didn't find it very hard to get up or go back into a relaxed state. Now, if this were the actual world, it may be another story. But it wasn't. That was a change Kenzie had no issue with.

Quickly hopping off the bed, the Ranger took a moment to stretch. It wasn't as lengthy as her last endeavor when she was at the courtyard, but it still took a good few seconds. After that, she felt a buzz of energy and ready to go. A grin brushed her features once more as she grabbed Wolfgang's wrist, somewhat pulling, somewhat leading him out of the room. "I wonder what else could be here." She wasn't as taken away by the hall's beauty as she stepped out into the massive area, but it was still beautiful nevertheless.

Looking among the rows of doors, she tried to find the slightest difference in any one of them. It was unlikely her UI held a map of the palace, so she didn't bother checking. As her eyes found a suitable candidate for a door, she let go of Wolfgang's wrist, not bothering to take any precaution as she swung open the door.

Inside, was a sitting-room-esque chamber. A fireplace captured the area, the soft glow radiating to the beige walls. It was heavily decorated, but none of the decorations were ugly, per say. The chairs were made of a leather-like material, all of which made it seem like one would sink into them the moment they sat. "Sitting room," she announced, being sure to hold the door open wide enough for Wolfgang to see.

If one were to look upon the duo from an outsider's perspective, it would almost be like they were two troublemakers running around, trying to plan the perfect prank. That truly wasn't the case, but it could be possible. For the most part though, Mackenzie's intent was to discover what the heck was in the place she'd have to call home for who knew how long.

Wolfgang was whipped down the hall suddenly without a word more. It was no use; that girl was freakishly strong, and had the stamina replenishment of a puppy. The boy tried his best to keep up, but by the time they arrived at the sitting room, his wrist was red from the slack he caused. Above his head, his HP decreased by less than a point, a small sliver at the edge of the bar shaving off. He rubbed his lower arm as they entered the room.

"I'm about ready to throw you into the fireplace," he muttered. The boy began to walk into the room, his footfalls creaking under him. The room seemed... older than the last, not exactly in era but in upkeep. The room seemed to sigh whenever he moved, and despite its cleanliness, something out it imbued dust. "This one's a little lame," he told her, still encircling his wrist with his fingers. He took to browsing a bookshelf against the wall, but nothing seemed to catch his attention, even of the fantasy world's self-contained literature. Who wanted to learn about the anatomy of betaflies?

"What was that, Wolfie~?" The blonde hummed as she took to looking around the room, scrutinizing the little artifacts that adorned the tops of tables and shelves. All together the room did have a bit more of a rustic vibe, but each individual piece seemingly held an interesting story.

After having her fair share of trying to decipher the little objects, Kenzie waited against the door. "I agree. You can lead the way this time... I think you may have the better finds." Her gaze traveled down to the wrist she had grasped, and Kenzie looked down in shame. She hadn't meant to hurt him as she went around the hall, but she also hadn't taken into account how much faster she was than him, or how firm her grip would be. She'd have to think about that next time she was taking a guy, or anyone, somewhere.

"You don't know me well enough to call me that," Wolfgang yawned, picking up a book and immediately placing it on the shelf. He took her up on her offer, walking out of the room, not grabbing her hand back this time. He didn't want karma to take hold when it was her turn to lead him around.

At the end of the hall was a door, and it seemed that they had already approached it fast, exhausting most of the passageways. This was the next big one. Wolfgang turned the nob, and behind it... was a railing. It was a balcony overlooking the throne room and its majesty, a balcony that surrounded the entire perimeter of the massive chamber. Wolfgang walked up to see the king, a rotund man, sitting on his throne. A line of NPCs made its way out of the door, the first of which was in the middle of giving a speech, or some complaint.

"Allow us to have more government in Antheia, sir," a woman asked him.

"Perhaps I will. Thank you," the king answered, his accent deep and British.

Wolfgang clutched the railing, not noticing his mouth was agape at what was going on. What a huge room. There were a few NPCs scattered across the balcony level, but no one seemed to pay heed to them. It was not unlike NPCs in the castle that they'd already encountered, though...

Mackenzie shrugged at his comment. She knew his name, and she could easily give a nickname based off that alone. It was done by her quite often. One more following him, it was a bit of a surprise that the end of the hall had been so near. How much of the castle had they ignored, or was facade? She didn't know if she wanted the answer to that question.

Stepping out onto the now-discovered balcony alongside him, her hands immediately clasped in front of her. Once more her fingers found the leather hemming on her wrist guards, somewhat nervously playing with them. Her face hid any trace of it though, she tried to look graceful. It was hard to tell how any of the NPCs functioned in Aubade.

Walking around the opposite way as Wolfgang, but still ending in somewhat the same place, she kept her hands clasped in front of her as she looked at the NPCs discussing matters with the King. So they had a literal government going on here at the same time? Intriguing. It was all a game, and yet, it was as if they had stepped into an actual world.

Her tongue clicked softly against the roof of her mouth as she studied the grand hall. It was, well... grand. Comprised of gorgeous alabaster stone and marble, the near-signature red carpet stemming from the top of the throne and down the long hall. It didn't seem to have a speck of dirt on its velvet surface. It seemed like the crest of the King's family decorated the walls, in various shades of what Mackenzie perceived as gold and scarlet.

Her attention was drawn by the discussion between the King and what could've been a delegate, and due to the conversation, most likely was. Glancing over at Wolfgang, she chuckled. He looked stunned. Sure, Mackenzie was herself, but at least she tried to suppress it. "It's funny we came across this before we were on the same level as the King himself." She offered, wondering how complex the NPCs or potential AIs were down below. Was the King just another NPC? Or did he actually have the ability to rule the area and answer questions of the players?

Spotting a pair of stairs leading into the grand hall itself, she motioned towards them.
"Wish to accompany me in my endeavors to see His Majesty?" Mackenzie asked in a soft tone, trying to mimic that of royalty. It wasn't going very well, but hey, you only live... three times?

Wolfgang looked over at the stairs, where the carpeting cascaded to the first floor, compact against the backing of each step. Wolfgang grabbed her arm. "Unless you have a real grievance," he said, "I don't wanna get arrested in a virtual world. We're in prison enough as it is." How benevolent was this AI? The boy unclasped the railing, turning his attention from the politics of the lower floor, the uninterested meandering of the royalty and civilians below. "Come on, let's go back or something, it's getting late."

Mackenzie nearly jumped when he grabbed her arm, which immediately led to her unclasping her hands. He did have a point. "Fair enough. Considering what looks like might be high tensions..." Her gaze still lingered on the leaving delegates, and she could see the NPCs almost looked... riled up. It fascinated her greatly.

However, Wolfgang's calling pulled away her fascination with the NPCs completely. "Hm, alright." She made the mental note to come back later when the King hadn't just met with other governmental NPCs. Kenzie was most definitely intrigued with what he may have to say and how he'd interact with a 'subject' such as herself.

Placing her hand lightly on top of the one Wolfgang held her arm with, she made sure to walk from the balcony this time. He could easily withdraw if he wanted to. She didn't have the intention of dragging him along to the first cool room she saw, but instead just more or less wanted to walk. Soak in more of the extravagant castle. There were still easily hundreds of rooms they could explore... "It's crazy, that at the base of all this is just... numbers and letters."
