Nicolas nodded as Cecily seemed to dismiss him and placed her parcels beside her before turning to leave. He took a few paces toward the castle before turning in the hopes of stealing one last glance at Cecily before he went to bed. After turning he couldn't see her at all, he surveyed the lawn in a moment, worry flooding over him and he could still not see her. The parcels seemed to still be there however and so he drew his wand ran toward where they had been. There was nothing, nothing at all to tell him what might have happened to quite possibly the only person left on the planet he cared for. Nothing to indicate where she was now, or if she was alright. "Must have been a portkey, dammit." Nicolas muttered under his breath, glancing across the tree line of the forest for any hint of life. Nothing.
Nicolas ran toward the castle as quickly as he could, bursting the front doors open with a flick of his wand and slamming them shut immediately after entering the entrance hall with another flick. He ran to his office and gathered a few things he figured he might need, he was going to England and would have to be prepared for whatever that meant. He flicked his wand toward a quill which started to write on a parchment as he dictated.
"Alicia,
I will be gone until further notice, I apologize for the inconvenience, however it would appear Cecily is missing. I understand if I don't have a place here when I return.
Signed,
Nicolas King."
The quill dropped lifeless after he finished the dictation so he sealed the parchment with his family crest and gave it to Nike to deliver. He then grabbed a handful of Floo powder and tossed it into the fireplace. 'They best not have disconnected from the floo network.' he thought to himself, entering the emerald flames. He was now unsure what to call Cecily's parents' house, so he hoped for the best as he clearly stated, "Cecily Rambolt's Home." and he disappeared into the fire.
