A Dangerous Rebellion
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → A Dangerous RebellionOctavius woke early as well, unable to help years of habit. Looking through the closet, he found a pair of softer pants then those he wore for years. Pulling them on, he looked for a matching shirt. Pulling one on, he turned to his normal weapons, tugging them on before brushing out his hair and tying it back.
Jason let out a soft snore as he rolled over still sleeping.
Octavius had moved to stand guard at the door across the hall. His stomach began to growl at him and Jason seemed like he was still asleep. He had offered help, should Octavius need it. And he was hungry...knocking lightly at the door, he called out softly, "Jason?"
Max was finishing his replies on the reports, both secret and public.
Jason snuffled a little and grunted a come in as he rolled over once more assuming that it was just another servant.
Octavius peeked in, just passed the door. One hand fisted in his long red hair behind his back. "Jason?...it's Octavius. The guard from yesterday? You said if I need anything to come see you. I am hungry and not sure where the kitchen is. Can you show me? Or give me directions? I can bring you back some breakfast too."
"H-huh?" Jason woke up a bit more from his delirious state of mind. "Octavius? Octavius! Oh!" He sat up and practically leapt from the bed. "I'm so sorry! Jeez, leave it to me to sleep in and leave you hungry..." He muttered to himself as he ran across the room. "Kitchen is this way," He shook his head feeling awful for not waking up or telling him where it was last night.
Octavius blinked at Jason moving so bad. He didn't know how to respond to it so he let out a laugh as he padded after him. "I have gone much bigger stretches without food. But I thought it would upset you if I didn't say anything and I didn't want to do that."
Finished with his work, Max set off to go find Jason and ask him if he and Octavius would want to come with him and Cassie to go get breakfast. He smiled as he heard their voices down the hall and sped up.
Jason laughed as he heard Octavius laugh because it was rather funny. "Yeah, I would have likely been a bit upset if you didn't say anything..." He rounded the corner and almost ran into Max. "Morning cousin! I was just taking Octavius to the kitchen,"
"It's a good thing I caught you, then. I was thinking we could go out to breakfast," Max replied. "Good morning to you both, though. Sleep well?"
Octavius nodded. "Best sleep in a long, long time."
"Out to breakfast sounds like a wonderful idea!" Jason turned to Octavius. "How about that? You up for it? Though you're going to have to pretend you're still a slave I'm afraid..."
"Well, I don't think it will be a problem. I have been one my whole life so nothing devastatingly difficult to pretend," Octavius said with a smile.
Max laughed, patting him,on the back. "I like you, Octavius. You are great. Shall we go find the ladies?"
"Well, it was more of a 'are you going to be okay doing that' but I suppose that works." Jason smiled and nodded in response to his cousin. "Sounds good!"
"I think he was trying to be sarcastic. Aim for a joke," Max said, giving Octavius a smile to show he wasn't being mean. He set off, leading their trio through the house and out to Cassie's cabin.
The redheaded Octavius blushed as he nodded. "Trying being the key word, I think. I know I have to keep up the ruse. Knowing I am free is more important though."
"I see," Jason chuckled and followed after his cousin. "You did fine, I'm not that observant this early in the mor-" He stopped. "Max I'll catch up with you guys!" He turned and headed back to his bed room as he realized that he was still clad in pajamas.
Jason smiled and waited patiently next to Octavius as he caught his breath.
