The dark haired boy squeaked as his sister grabbed his sleeve. He couldn't really stop her from pulling him at that point. He muttered a quick "Sorry..." then made a small sound. "Your kitten! You don't think he's in any danger, do you?" He was pretty sure she'd had to leave the kitten behind. When she and Lucas had gone off on their travel.

The reddish brown haired little one moved close to Haruna again. She started up at the blonde human female...She then glanced to the boy once more. "Is she...your sister?" the little reddish haired human then asked him.

[wolfrunner]

He cradled Icarus's form close to himself, almost in a protecting manner as he rose to his feet without dropping the boy. He paused for a moment holding him as images flashed before his eyes, things only he could see and the limp form suddenly became unnaturally heavy in his arms as he turned carrying the winged Halfling out of the ruined library out into the hall too his rooms. Eventually Lucas allowed Icarus's body to leave his arms as he settled it down on the wealthy bed. He was not sure if the boy had used the rooms he had been given as his, but doubted it thinking it was more likely he stayed in the library. Placing the small glass dolphin and odd large shell on his torso, Lucas proceeded to move his hands so he held both offerings.

"You should know that should we ever have a son, I know what name to propose to her. And I never once thought of you as a traitor to our kind."

It was after speaking those words that Lucas turned and headed out of the room to head for Akira's room to fetch her and Haruna.

" The little fluffball? Nay, I have every confidence he's fine. At the very least he should be safely curled up somewhere- I did leave Estella to look after him I believe. Besides- what would any intruder want with a kitten? Chances are they'd be here trying to fulfill their objective and run."

[wolfrunner]

Nina watched looking between Haruna, who had become semi familiar since they arrived at the manor, and the much newer face of a blonde girl that seemed to be around Haruna’s age. If not the same age maybe even. They didn’t appear to be as similar to each other as she and Ai were but call it what you will...sibling instincts or what have you...that these two were related. She could also tell that this new face was human and not a vampire. Leaning a bit towards Ai-

“I think they’re brother and sister. Like we’re sisters. They don’t look the same like we do but they sort of remind me of us.”

Meanwhile steady determined footsteps echoed through the hall head for the blonde human’s rooms. Steady and determined but also hurried. A way of burning off his emotions before he reached where he had told Akira to hide down in with her brother. For though steady and determined as they were, the footfalls also gave one a window to exactly what kind of emotions were swirling around inside a Lucas at that time. He was seething. Yet also trying to keep himself from moving on into a sprint down the halls for fear of something happening too Akira. He wasn’t sure, no Lucas knew for a fact he would brake if he lost both the boy and his wife at the same time. After all she was the only thing that was keeping him from hunting down the creature who’d murdered Icarus straight then.....the fact he still had her to protect. Clearly who ever killed Icarus cared not and had an ego that the likes of which even Rigel could never in an immortal lifetime hope to achieve. And violent tendencies which would put the thing on par, or almost, with a feral. The tendencies part hurt the most to realise for reasons.

Not even the fact that he could faintly hear voices coming from the other side of the blonde’s rooms door soothed the eldest Renier. He quickly rapped several times on the heavy wooden door. He didn’t care that his clothes were stained with a large area of blood from where he clutched Icaru’s body to himself while carrying the boy. Or that his hands were stained red from holding the halfling’s.

“Akira? Akira Tis I. Tis alright, you and Haruna may come out now.”

[owl0430]

Knocking at the door, then what sounded like Lucas' voice.

" If it is truly you, then tell me this- what did you gift me with in Vretellas, and for added measure, where did you find it?"

[wolfrunner]

“A ring. Your ring.”

Lucas stressed the word ‘your’. He answered without an ounce of hesitation.

‘Delecate. Small. The band is silver and twisted so it looks like silver rope, while it has a single smooth circular cut gem which Tis the colour of red of the sky when the sun sets. I discovered it when we were secretly investigating a ship’s hold. One of the barrels was full of precious stones and trinkets, I took the ring and offered it too you. You insisted we pay for it.”

[Theyre actually in the girls room, since its closer to Haruna's room I think. But it's fine]

The dark haired boy nodded when she mentioned the intruder probably didn't care about kittens. He looked up at the knocking. He wondered how Lucas had known where they were. Akira had made it sound like he'd just said to hide. Not as though he'd specifically named a room. He smiled at the girls, and said "Indeed, she is my sister."

The reddish brown haired little one nodded at her sister. She then looked to the boy, nodding to him as well. "Thats nice," she said, then tilted her head a bit. "Do you...have any other siblings?" she asked, but at the sad look fell silent...

[owl0430]

"...it's him." she acknowledged, slowly opening the door. But when she saw Lucas standing there, covered in blood, her eyes went wide, and she swiflty pulled the door somewhat shut behind her. Those children didn't need to see that.

"....Lucas?" a single word. Yet in it held all of her questions. Whose blood was it? It didn't seem like it was his...by was did he have so much of it on him? Just what had happened before they got here? He definitely didn't seem in the best of moods.

[wolfrunner]

He didn’t want to scare her.

He didn’t want to get any blood on her that could have still been wet or damp.

Yet seeing Akira there however and his arms came up around her embracing the blonde. He was careful to keep as much of it from getting on her as he could by keeping distance, though he wanted nothing more then to hold her.

“Tis not mine, do not worry but- While we were away there was an intruder that managed to make it onto the estate.”

Lucas paused. He didn’t want to tell her what had happened. Didn’t want to see how she would react to the news, it wasn’t like she didn’t know the boy after all.

“Akira Icarus is dead.”

[wolfrunner]

She was groggy when she first opened her eyes again too come face to face with not but a forest of long black hair. Well longer then she had first seen it when she and the owner of the head it rested on met anyway. Sand still resting in the very corners of her eyes left over from when sleep had come to her unwarrented while resting the night before. The girl closed her eyes letting out a long satisfied sigh blowing some of the dark strands in the way, only to open them again. Opening them again hearing Valentine speak and lifting her head just enough to be able to turn towards him as he stepped back inside the cave.

Not on his own either. For Valentine had with him a small catch of fish, one the right size for say their trio. So that meant that the red headed male must have left to go down to the water and spent some time there, which also in turn meant they'd been resting for a little time. Unable to completly hold back a yawn, Aralynn made it as ladylike as possible at the thought of how they'd slept.

"Someone has been busy meanwhile I've only just woken up so I'm afraid I'm not sure. Allthough-"

A quick glance down inspecting the still apparent sleeping form in her lap-

"-If he isn't then he is playing that he is. And either way I know how to get his attention so he can't at least act as he pleases anymore. This should get some sort of reaction from him."

And just like that Aralynn leaned back over just enough so her forehead touched his, before softly kissing Al good morning holding it there for a minute. The whole time watching with eyes directed down at the male.
