Alaric just gently pushed her away after a moment in time before he spoke, "How about your go and announce that you found that treasure. Get yourself named queen so that the advisors stop trying to push this marriage. Then we can build up our relationship ourselves."
While this happened, in the end Ariel and Ian had ended up sleeping together. Although what they didn't realize is that the drug that had been given to her by Damian so long ago seemed to still be circling in her system, almost as if it had a mind of its own. It accepted Ian's sperm with no second thought, and should Alaric and Iris sleep together they would find the same thing happening.
Sage was curled up in the bed, sleeping at that point in time although she was lost in her dreams. Looking to see what Apocalypse had all done to the man that she was attempting to help although she wasn't getting much of anything. The creepy thing was that the angel of corruption was just standing in her room seeming to watch her, although it wasn't as if anybody could detect him at that point in time. "So this kid is what is going to cause problems for my lord huh...." he mumbled before he was taking out his sword. The only people who would detect him there were people that were loyal to Apocalypse.
