Mana had spent at least an hour getting ready. The castle had given her a lovely dress and a matching mask all in the same shade of green. She felt more beautiful than she ever had in her life.

Until, of course, she tripped down the stairs. Mana had never been very fond of walking down all those stairs, and one of her feet had just slipped...

"Ow! Owch!" The girl fell down several stairs before landing in a hallway. "That hurt...silly castle!" She rubbed her neck. Looking around, she realized that Mahaado's room was around here somewhere. Brushing herself off, she started down the corridor.

"Master? Hello~" Mana called off into the distance. "Are you around here?"

((OOC~ I hope I'm doing this right. xD; And HOMG you're using an icon I made! *feels proud, 'cause she's never seen anyone use her icons before* 8D Sorry. Being random.))

The king's words could not have timed themselves better. As soon as they left his lips, there came a bump, a few smaller crashes, and Mana spilled out of a stairway not eight yards in front of them. She did not spot them at first, instead standing, and Mahaado found his lips twitching with an unfamiliar urge to joke.

His voice was quiet but clear as he indulged himself: "Why, yes, Great Pharaoh. I believe she will...drop in quite soon."

((OOC: [You'll have to forgive Mahaado; he hasn't had much practice in the levity department.] You're doing fine! And I love the icon. Though, I'm not sure if I have your username right in the credits...))

Mana heard a familiar voice. Looking over her shoulder, she spotted Mahaado. Grinning, she ran toward him as fast as she could in her dress.

"Master!" She barreled into him, giving him a rather large hug. "I'm so glad I found you! The castle was so huge that I was afraid I'd never see you again!" Mana looked up at him. "And I didn't mean to drop in!"

A bemused look crossed Yami's features. "Mana, it's good to see you," he greeted, as the look turned into a smirk. "It's been quiet some time."

[OOC: Woops! Wrong journal!]

[sunshinechile]

"Oh!" Mana let go of Mahaado rather quickly and turned to face someone she hadn't seen in awhile. "Atemu...wait! I mean, Great Pharaoh...hi!" She blushed as she stumbled over her sentence.

"Master told me you were here, but I didn't know I'd see you so soon!" She nodded.

((OOC~ S'ok. I've done it millions of times.))

Yami winced lightly as a rush of magic filled his system, and then died away. "Ah, let's stick with Yami, shall we, Mana? It seems my magic is rather unstable here, and speaking my name provokes its use, without my control."

He noticed Mahaado's worried glanced, and waved a hand. "But anyway, shall we continue to the masquerade?"

[sunshinechile]

"Okay...Yami." She felt odd calling Atemu something other than what she was used to, but since he asked...

"Let's go!" Mana brushed herself off once more, trying to get some of the wrinkles out of her dress. They seemed to be multiplying the more she brushed.

Mahaado nodded. "I doubt that names would be a problem if Mana had ever learned to call you by your proper title, my lord," he murmured wryly, but instantly regretted his words. After all, Yami had requested that he not be spoken to as a lord normally would. With Mahaado it was one thing, since he was formal by nature, but he wondered if the Pharaoh appreciated him encouraging the same formality in Mana. Red made its way around the back of his neck. The only thing the priest could do was continue walking.

Mana giggled and stuck out her tongue at Mahaado. "Master, you're so mean!" Of course, she wasn't being serious; Mana could never call Mahaado 'mean' seriously.

"But can we go?" The girl asked anxiously.
