The dark haired vampire sighed and tan a hand through his hair. He wondered if he should go bother Fallon, then shook his head at that thought.

The dark haired boy hummed and waited for an answer. He nearly jumped, turning slowly to look at the other male. It might have been comical in any other setting. Well, who knew, maybe it wouldn't have, but anyhow he covered his cheeks a moment. What am I, a maiden in love?! He shook his head after yelling that question in his head. "I...how could u be disappointed?" he couldn't stop himself from saying. He didn't know if he'd been meant to answer that part; "Yes, we are."

[owl0430]

When he was informed that not only had some lesser vampires gotten their fangs on some of the princess's blood, but that a Lycan had troubled the Renier estate (especialy considering the events regarding Lucas's past), he stiffened. The restraint he was using clearly visible. Through gritted teeth he spoke, " Yes, the Lycans have been rather active lately...we had an incident ourselves a day or so before everything went down, and lately I've sense the presence of multiple in varying locations, though no sightings. But you are Lucky nothing got too out of hand, then. They are a rather fickle and coniving bunch...rather innovative too, I'd wager. " he did take note of Lucas's now red gaze, but spoke nothing of it, figuring it to be residual anger from the incident with Chantrea. " Nonetheless, while I refuse to speak more on the event with Aralynn, I have to disagree with your actions at Highguard. It was needless and rather villainous- something that would be viewed as a true horror to humans, but would indeed humor the one who turned me. Things would have been easy enough- Aralynn knew of you, but trusted no harm would come to the siblings so long as I was involved. Discussion could have been had between the three of us, and we could've sent them off with you to begin with. Not to mention that, while I'm aware of your... disinterest, in courting another after Lady Chantrea, the princess was quite enamored with you. All that needed to be done there was just to humor her a little and find her a worthy human suitor. As for the prince, I'd wager he would find your brother's company most welcome. To put them through such a blood bath seems to me an ill-conceived plan?" he then took a step closer to Lucas with narrowed eyes. " ...you smell strongly of the heiress. More so than simply being in the presence of would allow. "

[wolfrunner]

"We have been on alert since both incidents and, so far, there has been no other trouble. What concerns me most is why Lycans are now acting so boldly as they are after all this time?", said Lucas shaking his head thinking back on the mess with Lira. "This one was a female. But you can see that things have been rather eventful recently no matter what is going on, hopefully things have been more quiet for you? At least one of us should be having an easy time."

When Al mentioned how the events at Highgaurd had been over the top and generally un called for, Lucas did not speak up on the matter. But the vampire's silence was plenty telling enough. Not that he particularly cared. The pureblood was a General following the orders of his king and his plan had succeeded. For a short while the dark haired male had been a hero in Akira's eyes, she had looked upon him and his arrival with joy and relief. He was her knight. Lucas was able to protect Akira for a change even if it was not totally real. Though, when one thought about all that had occurred, the eldest Renier had long since been protecting the human princess. Successfully at that.
The ruby engagement ring had kept his men away from her during the attack on Highgaurd.
Lucas had killed the innkeeper to keep him from making her his daughter-in-law as well as using his blood to keep from feeding on her.
After arriving to the estate there was Lira.
After the Lycan, he swore all to keep the princess's new knowledge secret so as to keep her from the king as long as he possibly could.
Then came the attempt on her life by those halfbreeds after she ran off with her brother.
And now Lucas was focusing on protecting Akira from himself as well as Orion Rosenwold.
"I spend every day with her and have made her needs and wishes my personal concerns. Of course my scent would carry notes of her's."

[owl0430]

" Most things have been quieter for me, albeit a bit busy. Most of it, however, has just been the work assigned to me by the king- work I would not have if she hadn't...nevermind. He's been assigning me his dirty work- assassination, if you would, of those who he deems a threat to his reign. For tomorrow's assignment he is forcing me to return to the last place I ever wished to go- the town now known as Angel's Hollow. You'll recall I'm not very fond of that wretched place." The last sentence held a bit more emotion than the rest of his words. " As for the Lycans, it is rather odd. Typically they only appear once in a blue moon, and even then most commonly on moonless nights. However, as I mentioned, aside from the one, I haven't been face to face with any of them, I've only sensed their presence. Yet not a single vampire has been attacked. In fact, they don't seem to wish to make themselves known, rather they almost appear as if they are protecting something...at any rate, it is something to look into another time."

Wiping some of the blood of his face, the male finally stood up. " Every day? Even with your duties as General, and personally seeing to her every whim? It would seem I'm not the only poor fool here- though you were the last person I thought capable of making such a mistake. Oh, and what was that nickname you had for her, I vaguely believe I heard it once- oh, yes, your queen? If I didn't know any better I'd think the two of you to be lovers." he mused, a mischievous grin on his face. " Alas, I fear I must be going now. Always things needing done, and I have to change before returning home- I have someone waiting on me and it would be most unsightly to return looking as I do."


------meanwhile at the Reneir Estate--------

There was a reason she had elected to take her meals once again in her room for the day- and it had nothing to do with the fact it would require her to leave her room, no. Rather, no sooner had she gotten herself around for the day than a certain unfamiliar presence knocked at her door. She had originally possessed every intention of telling Estella about the most peculiar dream she had had, but now she found herself nibling on her meal with the vampire she recalled going by the name Orion. The silence between the two broken by naught but the sounds of the winds and the birds.

“Then let us eat before it gets cold and be on our way before it gets too late and I am pulled elsewhere. I said we would see the town and that is what we will do.”, said Rigel as he headed over to the large food laden table in the hall. Instead of taking a seat at one of the ends as he normall would have if it was just him and his brother eating, the vampire took a seat along one of the sides. This way Haruna could either sit closer sitting across from him or beside him.

[wolfrunner]

So then the rumours he had caught ear of here and there whispered among his men have been true after all. Well the actions of Al were why his plans to take over Emberelic were so successful in the first place....almost as if they had somehow planned everything together as partners. So it was no wonder that the king rewarded the changling in some form or another with a promotion. Because of his role in the operation the Renier had been detached for the most part of what went down, but that was the price to pay for succeeding. Besides he had been pretty caught up now with Al filling in the last few gaps.

Though at the younger vampire’s musings about having someone waiting for him back home, the eldest Renier could not help but grin. “Ah. So someone did manage to find another lady friend. And one he is actually bothering to take the time to try and impress to keep around as long as possible, good. It is my hope that this new mystery maiden will be good for you in some way and perhaps even more then one way at that. Give her my wishes of good luck yes? Alas...one of us should be happy and lucky to find the right female companion at least no? Of course it would be you.”, said Lucas in a light teasing manner. That would be sufficient payback for his words on Akira the General thought for his comments on the subject had not gone unnoticed.

The dark haired boy hummed and nodded to the other male. He definitely did not want that, as he actually really wanted to see the town. Therefore, he hurried to follow him over to the long table with the food. Of course the food would be on the table itself. He yawned a bit, then shook his head, shaking that away. He quietly took a seat beside him, daring to be brave. Well, they might have stood or sat almost that close once or twice before. He smiled a bit, then scolded himself.

[owl0430]

With narrowed eyes and a tight-lipped smile- " Indeed. You'll be glad to know that this time around she is one of us as well, as opposed to another fragile and conniving human. However, I shall be sure to pass along your well wishes. Until the next time we meet, Lucas." without then a care in the world, he proceeded to leave the alley back onto the main city streets.

Adrian, meanwhile, was just finishing up at the Library and preparing to fetch Lucas.

[wolfrunner]

“Agreed. Until next we meet then.”, nodded Lucas before watching Al walk off. Several thoughts going through the pureblood’s head as he watched his friend leave.

[owl0430]

The moment the pureblood emerged from the shadows and into the alley, he recoiled, a grimace on his face. " My word- this alley reeks!" moving a hand to pinch his nose, he continued. " Was this all his doing? He could of at least cleaned up his mess...ah, well, a worry for later I suppose. How...did he seem, exactly?

" Are we really going to simply sit in silence the entirety of my visit? Seems a bit rude if you ask me." Orion spoke, gazing out a the estate's garden, which was in clear view from the heiress's balcony.

" I have no reason to talk to you."

" Nonsense. There's plenty we could talk about. A great many things, for much like your precious Reneir, I possess an abundance of knowledge. I merely lack the cleverness he possesses is all."

"....you are a vampire, yes?" " Oh? and here I thought you were a bit naive. but yes, I am a vampire. Why do you ask?"

" I'm... curious, is all. I know of them, but I do not understand them. "

" Is that so? In that case, I can do my best to assist you if you wish. "

The was a brief silence. And then, " It is."

" Let us start at the beginning then- with the first vampire..."
