    Jean sat at his desk, doing what classical musicians do best, writing music, but this symphony wasn't going to be heard publicly, no, this is going to be played by The King's personal band. So far, Jean only has one page done, this is the second, he taps his quill end inside the ink bottle and began to write. He then started to think, think about how this was his last week in The Kingdom of The Sylvanisauri, but how he might convince Blake to let him stay, then he thinks about Blake, The King himself, the only thing to break his heart without noticing it. Then, through eyes filled with tears, it was finished, Jean gathered up the papers and wiped his eyes clear. He then got up and went to The King's room, he didn't have to knock, something that Jean really enjoyed and he will really miss when he's gone, but not as much as Blake "Your Majesty...." Jean Blair Lilly said as looked around the room, not wanting to look at The King directly yet "I-I finished the symphony I said I'd write.... it's about love.... forbidden love. I think you might like it" Jean said, but he new The King might like it, he likes historical music like this. He then placed the symphony on the small table by the window "If... I may say Your Majesty, I'm leaving for home after tomorrow..... home, this should be home, this is where the rest of the Sylvanisauri is" Jean said the last bit with a sigh as he organized the papers "But no, my parents just loved being independent, and... I'm getting off track, um... may I stay? Here? In the kingdom?" Jean asked looking back, but still not directly at Blake "I've always felt I belong here.... anywhere here, even the lowlands..."
