Caught by the Tale

(lol Kana get's pissed so he uses that)

Kanata was about to head up the stairs when he heard the sound of labored breathing.
Turning he jumped down the stares, eyes wide as he noticed a big chunk of the bread he'd given the boy missing.
"Tch, idiot!"
The prince quickly went into the cell throwing the door open in anger.
Another second later and the younger prince was on the floor and Kanata was pushing down hard on his stomach, doing compressions to try and dislodge the food.
"Your are such a bloody fool! You think your brother would be proud you tried to choke yourself to death?!"
With one final shove the large piece of bread came out of his throat.
Kanata quickly opened the kid's mouth and grabbed the piece, tossing it to the side before punching the brat right across the face.
"You are an IDIOT! Just in case you missed me saying it the first time! Now come!!"
With a yank he grabbed the kid by the scruff of his meager burned shirt, pulling him towards the stairs.
Guess he was gonna have to watch the stupid guy.
Great.
 
(Gotcha...)

Ajax was almost on the brink of blue when the bread was dislodge.
Yeah, if he was ever going to kill himself, choking was not an option.
Wait, not the fa-
Ow, that hurt!
What is up with the face pains?
Are you hoping his face will one day be unrecognized?
Because if that was the case, then keep punching him in the face...
Man, I think you broke his nose...
Yes, he grasped the concept that he was an idiot, you don't have to make him deaf, Kana.
And there is more dragging...
Maybe he'll carve his face on the stairs and that'll be that.
Have fun with that, Kana.
Hmm...I wonder where they'll be going...
A tower that has shackles to keep Ajax in check but will require someone to feed him and give him water?
A garden where he'll be buried to his neck and fed once a day?
Hmmmmm?
 
Oh Kana would have loved to slam the kids face on the stairs but his father said no unhealable injuries.
Tch.
So, he dragged the boy up into the more fancy portions of the castle.
As they went higher and higher the temperature got warmer.
By the time Kanata shoved the kid into another room it was nice and toasty.
"I can't believe you would be stupid enough to choke on bread to die!"
Yeah, he was still fuming mad.
However, there was a knock on the door and Kana abruptly turned, opening it and taking what was offering before thanking the person and turning to Ajax.
He was holding a tray of food that was a bit more...edible.
It had been his own dinner but his father made it clear that the prisoner eat well so..."
Shoving the tray towards the other male he growled.
"Eat and don't choke or once I resuscitate you I'll brake your nose."
Guess he hadn't broken it yet.
 
Oh, are you upset to not have things go your way, Kana?
Well, if your father dies anytime soon, you can beat the light out of Ajax.
Unless you ended up taking pity on him and don't want to by that time.
But we never know, now do we?
No, no we do not.
Change in temperature was unnoticed by Ajax.
In fact, he didn't even register the change of scenery.
He was cursing himself for trying to kill himself like that...
He should have just stolen Kana's knife and kill himself by a slit to the throat!
It would have been fast-
...No want food.
T^T Food's going to kill him.
Ajax shoved the tray back to Kana, shaking his head.
No want, no want!
 
Oh ho...ho.
When the tray was shoved back into his arms Kana could have killed someone with his glare.
"You little shit.
Your eating whether you feed yourself or not!!"
Walking over to a small table he dropped the tray, splashing some of the soup onto the metal.
Then he had Ajax in his grip again, this time by his hair.
"Now then.
Be a good little bastard and eat!"
He knew the kid was going to force his mouth closed so that he didn't have to eat but Kanata wasn't going to BS this time.
His wounded hand gripped tight in the others' hair while he took a big gulp of soup from the bowl.
Crap...hot!
His right hand then set the bowl down and literally forced the guy's mouth open and pressed his own to it, allowing the hot food to flow from his mouth to Ajax's.

That's what you get, brat!
 
Oh dear...
So glad that Ajax wasn't killed with said glare.
And maybe shoving the food back was a bad idea...
Very bad idea...
Ajax is just going to try to run-
"Ow! Let go of my hair!"
Wait...
Little bastard?!
"I am not a little bastard! If anyone is it's y-!"
HOT! HOT SOUP!
This was gross and it burned!
When the hot food hit Ajax's throat, he almost screamed.

Sure, he was fire proof on the outside...
But on the inside? Sensitive as ever to hot things.
It's another reason why he didn't want the soup- the first reason was because he was a bit shaken by the food.
 
Well, Kanata could care less about the boy's throat!
He deserved to get burned with the annoyance he'd caused him!
Should have just killed him on the battlefield!
Once that first amount was done and down the others' throat Kana shoved him onto his bed and then pushed the tray into his chest.
"Are you going to eat it now or am I going to have to force you all of it?"
As much as he LOVED force feeding idiots, he didn't.
With an angry shake of his head the boy's blueish gray hair spun around like a halo while he walked over to a large bath he'd been tending with wood near the bottom, lightly on fire around a brick casing so it didn't light anything else up.
The bath was just warm enough to consider getting in and he quickly started to peal off his burnt clothing.

Of course the other was going in with him, like he'd let the guy just roam free.
Kanata was just waiting for the other to finish the food.
 
You're going to take ever chance to torture Ajax, aren't you?
First you put him on a horse which was a pain in the ass of a ride-
Then a cold cell with uncomfortable twine for two hours-
Punched him in the face after stopping him from choking-
Pulled his hair-
AND then you burned his throat...
Yeah, I can see that.
Ajax will be a good boy for the moment...
But he is not going to have all that evil soup!
Like...One more throat burning gulp of the evil concoction.
And that is it!
If Kanata tries to get him to take anymore, he was going to bite off a finger or two!

...Is that a fire? Oh my glob, must be attracted to it like a moth to light!
He wanted to play with fire! Maybe show Kanata what it feels like to have a burned up throat...
 
Kanata eyed the boys struggle with the soup and rolled his eyes.
With a sigh he walked over to the window sill and took a container.
Bringing that over he poured a small amount into the bowl of soup.
The stuff inside?
Just happened to be snow collected an hour or so earlier so it was nice and cold and chilled the soup down a bit to lukewarm.
"Now, eat."
Yes the container had been there before but water was important and shouldn't be wasted.

Kanata sat down on the bed, crossing one leg over the other, completely unaware that the kid had spied the fire.
Don't light his room up! He liked it!
 
Maybe Ajax didn't like your room, Kanata.
Maybe he didn't want your soup either...
However...
He did have and opportunity for revenge.
Pretending that was going to be good and finish the soup, Ajax poured some into his mouth...
Then without warning he was force feeding it to Kanata.
MWUAHAHAHA!

Yeah, Ajax is so going to be dead by the time the King of Keral does something.
I can just tell...That or the castle will be on fire.
 
That little shit was totally dead.
But right now he needed to handle the whole choking on soup thing cause Kanata was just taking a breath in when that happened.
The kid's eyes widened in shock as he tried to lean back and avoid more food exchange.
However, he leaned back on his injured left hand and hissed, pulling more of the soup into his throat.
Kana turned onto his side and started coughing, gagging right away and losing what little soup went down his throat.
Shat, little brat!

"Little....son of...." Gah! Why can't I stop coughing!!
 
Okay, that did not go as planned...
But at least there was some revenge.
Ajax was also coughing because he never tried to force feed someone.
"Blehh... You have no idea how sick you Keralians can be!"
Grr...where can rinse his mouth with soap?
Actually, I think Kanata might do that for him if he tries to drown him in the tub...

He pointed at the soup. "Now are you going to eat or do I have to feed it to you?" Ha! Using your own words on ya~
 
Kanata was panting, leaning over his bed staring down at the throw up he'd just lost.
When the boy told him to eat he nearly got up and bit the brats head off!"
In fact...
"I want a bath...and you're going to join me." He snarled, grabbing the other boy's hair tightly and yanking again.
This time we get to go to the tub and since Kanata was already nude he just climbed right in.
Guess where Ajax went?
Yup, right into the tub.
And for good measure he was holding the other guy's head under for aboutttt...fifteen seconds?
Yeah, sounds good.
When Kana finally let the kid up he smirked.
"Ready to behave or do you want another dunk under the water?"
 
Ew...Throw up on the floor...
And that sounds like a bad idea, biting off his head...
Too bloody.
"Ow ow ow!" T^T Why is it always the hair?
Wait...He still has clothes on!
And he doesn't like duo bathing!
"No-!" Burble burble burble burble!
Ajax was coughing up water upon resurfacing.
Screw this, he's getting out of the hell hole and away from it's psychos!
Yeah, not behaving.
 
When the kid resurfaced Kanata couldn't help but laugh.
"You look like a drowned rat.
Oh mighty pathetic prince of fire?"
There was a hint of taunting to the princes voice as he leaned back in the tub.
"Now then prince rat.
We're gonna take a bath and your gonna get rid of those nasty clothes, clean yourself up, and then finish your food."
Letting go of the kid he waited for him to obey.
It was a pretty simple task...better not BS it.
 
Ajax turned a fiery glare at the other-
Now that is a glare that can kill.
"How about...
FUCK YOU and FUCK your stupid kingdom!"
And Ajax is out of the bath, and heading for the door.
"I'm outta here." he growled.
I can already tell this is going to go badly for him-
Mostly because he is drenched in water and duuuuuuur, Kanata can control water, and of course, ice.
 
Precisely.
"I'd rather not get that done to me, thank you."
Kanata leaned over the tub on his arms playfully, grinning as the boy retreated.
With a flick of his good hand the boy was suddenly covered in a nice layer of ice instead of water.
"Hmmm...did you forget I can control water?
Bad thing to forget considering you're covered in it?"
Turning back around Kanata got busy washing himself with the bar of soap on the ledge of his tub.
He figured he'd just leave the kid a popsickle until he decided to behave.
"Once I'm done with my bath I'll unfreeze you."
 
Hm...
Ajax makes quite a nice ice sculpture.
Probably wasn't best to end talking though, when Kanata froze ya.
Because now you can't talk~
And you're away from the fire so you can do anything to help yourself there.
You're just screwed, fire boy.
Gods it was cold...
Okay, kinda no dip Sherlock there, because he's covered in ice...
Yeah, just going to stop talking there.
 
There was a knock at the door about four minutes later and the king calmly came inside.
Eying the boy and then his son he shook his head.
"Kanata...unfreeze him."
Kana turned around and grumbled but did as told, having all the ice on Ajax melt to the floor.
"He started it father."
The kng sighed and stared at the captured prince.
"I apologize for this but Kanata I need you to bring him back out to the battlefield.
His forces are still extremely strong and ours are dwindling. We need a leg up on the situation."

Kana frowned but got out of the tub and dried off with a bit of water manipulation.
Then he dried off Ajax before heading to his dresser to pull out two outfits.
"Fine father. Prince, come over here and put on some real clothes. Then we leave and you get to see your little friends again."
 
Well, I bet that was strange-
Ice sculpture Ajax just two feet from the door.
Yes Kanata, unfreeze Ajax-
Holy buttocks, it's freezing in here!
At least he wasn't in an arguing mood.
More like shiver with chattering teeth while the two Keralians talk.
Wait...Man, now I don't like you king! I thought you were going to be nice and let him go...
Meanie king...grr.

...Kana, you are such a show off.
"...there better not be anything evil in the clothing..." muttered Ajax.
Obedient, but mouthy...Perfect. Now, to plan an escape! Which depends more on what has yet to be said.
