Oliver, upon reaching his study, took out a crimson-covered book and plopped down in his favorite chair to read by the flickering light of one of the ever=present candles. The text seemed to be in Greek, but the Prince read it as easily as if it was a 3-word-per-page children's book.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. ''You are??'' She asked
''No, no...Im not...dieing...persay. Wait..Im telling you!?'' Karsten said coughing on his drink.
''Yes...now, what is it???'' Elizabeth pressed lookin at him with hungry eyes.
''Black cough.'' He said. That was all Elizabeth needed. She started running like an idiot to where she knew to find Oliver.

Oliver was already halfway through the book when he heard Elizabeth's light footfalls outside. He looked up and, sighing, strode over to the door and poked his head into the hallway.

Oliver nodded and held the door open for her. "Come in, then, and sit down across from the big red chair." He said,gestering at the inside of his cozy study.

Eliza nodded and sat in the chair right across from the red one. She crossed her legs and put her hands in her lap watching Oliver closely.

Oliver sat down, muscular legs spread apart and strapping arms stationed on the armrests. "So, poppit, what information did you manage to glean from Karsten?" He asked.

Elizabeth sighed and took a deep breath. ''Well...I found out...he is dieing from Black Cough.'' She said quickly looking at Oliver with an unsure expression on her pale face.

Oliver's expression did not change, but his eyes must have, for he raised one pale hand to cover them. "Er...when...when did he get it?" He asked, his usally self-assured tone replaced with a trembling, worried one.

Elizabeth shrugged. ''Not sure..however..I have noticed him coughing..I was thinking he might hve it...but, he has been for a while,. so he must have had it for some time to be...dieing from it now...'' She said.

"Ugh," Oliver groaned, letting his hand fall to his lap and leaning back against his big red chair. "And here I thought I was observant...Flames!"
The Bookworm Prince's hand flew out and pushed one of his beloved tomes from it's place on a small table next to him. It fell with a loud thump to the floor.

Oliver suddenly stood up, his hand sliding under Elizabeth's elbow for a moment. "Thank you, Milady Elizabeth. I will fufill my end of the bargain whenever it please you, for I am an honorable man...but for now, I must think." He said, his voice as firm as a Prince's should be.

Elizabeth pulling her arm close to her side. ''Yea....bye now Oliver..'' She said searching his eyes a moment before letting herself out of his room and into the hall. She turned left and ran down the hall until she got to an empty room. ''Oh, Vampire gods look at the mess our race is turning into...''

Oliver groaned again and collapsed into his chair, his eyes half-closed. "Ugh...how am I going to get this cleaned up?" He asked himself.
