Oliver answered without hesitation. "I think it is best that you wait for me. I shall see you in a few minutes, Alexandra." He said, then strode quickly from the Hall. The main reason why he had not wanted Alex to come with him is because he now shared his study with Lily. His daughter, for a change, slept there while Oliver finally used his own room. The earth child was still refusing to see anyone, save Oliver,Julian, Maryjane, and Will....and Olie was almost afraid of what would happen if he brought a virtual stranger into her 'haven'.

Alexandra nodded and walked quietlly except the swish of her skirts over the rock to the tunnel. She was looking ahead at the small tunnel out into the moonlight. She waited near the end, but not yet outside. She just wanted to be safe incase something undesirable was out there. She didnt want to fight anymore if she didnt have to.

Oliver was soon there, and as soon as he came into view a light rain began outside the Mountain. The Prince smiled at Alexandria and nodded forward. "Back...shall we go on ahead?"
There was something strange about the British man's smile...it was heavily tainted with sadness, caused by recent tragic events.

Alexandra nodded with a small smile. ''Yes, or course.'' She said rubbing her pale hands together as she looked out into the rain as they began to walk.

Oliver opened the large umbrella, covering both himself and Alexandra from the steady downpour. His pace was slow, as if he thought about each and every step before putting his foot down. His smile had been reduced to half of it's former size.

Alexandra walked just as slowly, matching his pace perfectly. She had her lips pursed in a thin line across her face, thinking about her new ranking. Most Prince's were general's, but none had stepped up to the plate when asked, so she had just started something big.

Oliver looked straight ahead, frowning. He cleared his throat and spoke with a low, almost guttural tone. "Alexandra...I must come to the real reason I have asked you to walk with me. I assume you know of the traitor Sabino Bonicelli?"

Alexandra nodded slowly. As if to remember all she could about the evil man. ''Yes...a very nasty man.''She said blinking and glancing to Oliver.

Oliver gave a bitter-sweet smile. "I can only agree with such a comment. But...what do you know of him?" He asked, turning his stormy gaze on Alexandra.

Alexandra sighed and looked back to the darkness. ''I know what he did to that Julian for one...and what happened to him afterwards....and, I suppose the most heard of, what he did to Thea....causing the three to...split, all sorts of talk has been going on. I suppose..I am like a sponge when I sit and listen.''She said shrugging.

Oliver tilted his head back slightly, causing his dark brown locks to slide behind his ears. "I am glad to hear that you are observant...but are you aware that my daughter killed him? And...and about that thrice-accursed locket?"

Alexandra shook her head. ''The part about your daughter, yes...but not the locket part.''She said blinking at the new information.

Oliver hoisted the umbrella an iota higher and blinked at Alexandra. "Aye...there are, as far as I know, three lockets whom are controlled by Bonicelli, each belonging to three prominent people. One is, of course, my daughter Lily. The others are two humans by the names of William Ives and Maryjane Saunders. And...I'm at a loss how to stop Bonicelli, I'm afraid." Oliver frowned, his eyes straying to the rain-dampned ground.

Alex nodded and her brow creased with deep thought. ''Well....Im not certain myself Im afraid...I never really thought I would be in a possision like I am now to be able to help finding solutions to problems...''She muttered looking up.

Oliver opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again. The rain had just stopped, and through it his acute hearing allowed him to hear the faint sound of running feet hitting the ground. "Wait...do you hear that?"
((My creativity's back! *dances*))
