Emily squeezed Link's hand.
"We will find a way."
Now she looked determined, fierce. "I'll go talk to Daddy. If there's one thing he is, it's protective. I don't think he'd know about this. He'll fight it with us."
She stood up, pulling Link up by the hand she still held. Now she'd resolve to do whatever it took not to lose Link, and instead of sad she was forceful and forward.

Link followed with a bit of hope in her heart. Uncle James did usually give Emily anything she wanted within reason.
"Anything is worth a try at this point." Link said as Emily dragged her along.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She won't listen to me." Ian complained. "Jade started at ten. Thats the only answer I get."
"A priestess?" James said again.

Emily dragged Link along and stormed into her father's study, the look of a furious Cassandra Prince about her which made her genuinely terrifying. She looked from Ian to James with the same look, letting go of Link and gesturing wildly.
"Did you KNOW about this?!" she half-asked, half-shrieked, giving her father a look that reeked of pure betrayal.

"Ian was just telling me." James said, not surprised at all by Emily's reaction. Link saw her father and burst into tears.
"Why? What did I do? Please, don't send me away." she threw herself into his arms. "I want to stay with you." Ian looked about to break too as he embraced his daughter. He tried to say something, but no words came out.

"Well what are you going to do about it?! You can't just let them take her away when she doesn't want to go! I thought being King was good for something!" Emily's rage was almost endless as she stormed around James's office, arms in the air.

"Yes, King of the elves does mean I have some power." James said knowing Emily would not like this answer. "that doesn't make me king of all."
"Da, please. Why are you doing this to us? Do you not want me to travel with you any more? Then I'll stay here. I'll stay with Emily. I won't ever leave the palace. I swear. Just don't send me away from everyone." Link begged her father.
"You've done nothing wrong." Ian told her as her stroked her dark hair. "I love you very much and I am very proud of you."

"Well why not!?" Emily huffed again, throwing her fisted hands down to her side and frowning so deeply it made her look inhuman. "This isn't fair!"

"Life isn't fair and please start acting older than the boys, Emily." James said. "Just because I have no power to change things doesn't mean I won't try."
Link looked up at James.
"Really, Uncle James?" she sniffed wiping her eyes. "I might not have to go?"

"Really?!" Emily's disposition immediately changed, her face lighting up with hope. "Will you talk to Genny? Please?"

"I will talk to her." James said grimly. "I don't make promises, but I can try. And perhaps in exchange, my daughter will act her age and not fight me on everything."
"That is her age." Ian said gruffly, still holding Link tightly.
"You are not helping." James said pointedly and Link giggled.

Emily grinned and crossed over to behind James's desk, climbing onto his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Thank you Daddy," she said in the sweetest voice she could muster.

"You're welcome." James said with a soft smile. "Now don't make your mother wait on tea, or she won't let us steal you two for a ride tomorrow."
Link smiled and went and hugged James as well.

Emily nodded and climbed down.
"We'll go wash up for dinner, then," she said brightly, grabbing Link by the arm and dragging her back out of the room by the same manner she'd dragged her in.

"You know how she is." Ian said as the girls left.
"We have to try. If we don't my daughter will be miserable and yours will think you just cast her aside when she stopped being adorable." James said standing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you really think this will work?" Linkf asked as she was pulled along..

Emily sighed, slowing down and dropping Link's arm as she did.
"I don't know. But if it doesn't we'll find another way. I won't let them take you away," Emily said, almost fierce again, before flashing Link a smile and leading the way back to her chambers.
