[[ I'm thinking they keep her in the dark for as long as possible, but maybe another Vampire clues her into the reality and she has to make that decision for herself? ]]

{{ Hm, that might work. Thane could clue her in, since he's the leader of the rebellion. Or maybe Xander tries to recruit her? }}

| Lani | 27 | Vampire |
Once Lani had finished talking about her siblings, she in turn paid careful attention to what Rhys' response, chewing on her lip with anxiety. The answer that Rhysand provided was less than assuring, though she believed him when he said that he would do his best to protect her family. She trusted that, if only based on her Sire bond to him. Lani nodded slowly at the mention of her younger brother. "He's been paired off with...," she paused in thought as she tried to draw up the individual he'd been paired with. "Oh. Vison Weathergast," she finished. She didn't know much about this pureblood vampire, but she hoped that Xander would be safe. It seemed as though even she didn't know about the Bruja recruitment of her younger brother.
"Thank you, Rhysand," she said, looking across the desk to him. It had been over nine years since she'd spoken with her siblings and she wished that she could have done more for them in that time. However, now it looked like whatever she'd gotten herself into, her siblings were destined for the same fate. "Do you think it would be okay to see them? Talk to them?" the young Vampire ventured. She knew that there was a risk in it, but sitting here, talking about her younger brother and sister to Rhys made her miss them more than she remembered missing them; it was an emotion she'd tucked away for her own sake so many years ago.
| Xander | 20 | Human |
Xander offered a half smile, as though he'd been caught looking, and shrugged. "I'm not sure. I haven't met him yet." That was the truth, but he wasn't entirely sure that he didn't know his roommate. Bruja had people in different places and it was possible that he'd been set up with another recruit. "Why?" he asked, as though continuing the thought. He'd noticed how closely Vison stayed to him and wondered the reasoning for that; he had a few ideas but didn't want to assume any more than he already had been. "Besides, I'm not sure how much fun Orientation can be," he added, making a face
"Hm," was Rhys' response to Lani for a moment, when she mentioned the name of Xander's pair. He hadn't met the young vampire, who was apparently a pureblood - pretty rare among vampire society, as it was difficult for vampire females to conceive. More often than not, human surrogates were used to create vampire offspring, as a vampire's genes were dominant and any child of a vampire-human pairing would always result in a vampire child. He scratched at the small beard on his chin, which he kept cleanly trimmed close to his skin as he pondered his response. She posed a question that Rhys had previously considered, and he cocked his head to the side as he chose the words of his answer. "Rhys," he said after a moment. "Call me Rhys. Very few people call me Rhysand, and I do not count my friends or allies among them. As to your family..." he leaned forward, criss-crossing his fingers as he clasped them together. "I do not see a harm in it," he said after a moment, voice soft. "It would likely increase suspicion if you stay away from them, even here." He studied her with his violet-blue eyes. "Be careful, Lani. I will not keep you from your family, but I will offer a warning. Keep your wits about you, Lani, and remember that those you can trust make up a rather small group. If you have need of my aid, do not hesitate to contact me." He sat back in his chair. "As for Allina, I will see that she is paired with myself, or someone I can trust."

Without thinking, Rowlin reached for a nearby pencil and began to lightly play around with it. During this awkward moment, he couldn't help but quickly turn forward towards Percival and apologize. "I-I don't mean anything in a harmful manor. If any offense had been taken, I apologize." He softly admitted. Though Percival was no stranger, and yet he still couldn't help but find himself apologizing after all this time. "Other options.." He suddenly replied in consideration, though Percival wasn't helping with narrowing the options. He inhaled deeply at the thought, More places, why don't we visit them all in one year while we're at it...At the mention of Ireland, everything stopped. His thoughts, his motion, his breathing, his overall charming enjoyment of the topic. His hand chopped the pencil in half. After a brief moment he leaned forward, a change in expression, faintly thinking about the suggestion. "Ireland..." He softly considered. "That wouldn't be a bad idea, it's a rather vast landscape, and charming place." He recalled softly. mintedstar/fur🦇

[[ That could definitely be the thing to push her over the edge ]] [[ Welcome back, Mint! ]]
There was still much for Lani to learn about Vampire society and possible limitations they had, such as the fact that it was usually difficult for females to conceive - it would be interesting for her to know whether she still could or not because she wasn't a natural Vampire. But that was a thought for a different time. She sat forward, anticipating what her Sire would advise of her regarding her family. She nodded, "Rhys it is then," she answered, this shortened moniker rolled off her tongue much more readily. Lani began to nervously pick at the hem of her skirt, waiting. She breathed out a sigh of relief when he told her that he didn't see any harm in it, his voice soft as he told her so, and for a moment she believed that he cared. At this point, she simply didn't know where Rhys stood in relation to her - he may have been her Sire, but that was one of the reasons why she didn't know if she could trust that he cared, though she would take his word for it. She nodded in agreement that it would raise suspicion if she stayed away for much longer, not only among her siblings but also among the staff at the school. The more Rhys went on, the safer she felt within his presence. While she didn't remember her Changing, she remembered waking up in fear and apprehension, despite the pull of loyalty. She nodded again, "I'll be careful," she promised, as she sat back into the chair, not realizing how tense she'd been. Her gaze turned toward the window for a moment before looking back to Rhys, at the mention of her sister. "Could you really do that?" she asked quietly, not wanting to get her hopes up.

Her gaze turned toward the window for a moment before looking back to Rhys, at the mention of her sister. "Could you really do that?" she asked quietly, not wanting to get her hopes up.
"I will do my best, Lani," Rhys responded. He sighed to himself, running a hand through his jet-black hair as he pondered something for a moment. "Go to your sister, Lani," he said after a moment. "Let her know that you're alright and doing well. Find your brother. Let them see you, so that their worry might be soothed. In the meantime, I will make arrangements to pair myself with Allina." He stood, unfolding his six-foot frame. He opened the drawer at his right, fiddling through its contents for a moment before he retrieved a small business card. He extended the white square to Lani. "This is my personal number," he told her. "Keep it secret, and keep it safe. If you have need of me, but do not want to use the link, use that number. I must speak with Pierre now." He walked towards the door, opening the office entrance for Lani. As she walked past, he paused. "Despite everything," he said, voice almost inaudible, "I am glad to have gained you as a child and a friend, Kailani. I only wish it had been under better circumstances." He offered a quiet goodbye to Lani, closing the door behind her. He ran his hands through his hair and exhaled softly. He paced back to his desk, staring out of the window. Unbidden, the words of a song he learned long ago drifted to his mind.
Gafflwn Dihenydd O’r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd, Ni fydd neb yn ein drechu, Falch ydy ni I drochu, Traed o flaen I’r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni.
The words were Welsh, but Rhys had learned to speak many different languages over his lifetime. We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us; we are glad to plunge feet first into Annwn in the knowledge that we will rise. Rhysand sighed; plunging into the underworld seemed a likely outcome for his future. Pierre was strong and had vast connections, and although Rhys was powerful in his own right, he wasn't sure if he wanted to stand against Pierre Kingston.
Now, or ever.
Time would tell, it seemed.
He turned on his heel, showing his back to the quiet swaying forest, and left his office.

| AJ | 23 | Vampire |
"Nice to meet you too, Grace," he answered with his own little nod. "No worries about he dust, I'm used to it." He glanced around and ran his fingers through his hair, "So where were you rushing off to so quickly?" he asked, looking for something to converse about and take his mind off the pulsing of blood he heard from her veins. If he zoned in on the sound, he could see the blood rushing beneath her skin, but he needed to not do that. He didn't know whose Chosen this girl was and the last thing he wanted to do was anger the wrong Vampire.
Grace | Human Grace shrugged, once again trying to remember where she had been going to. "Uh, not sure. You wouldn't happen to know if any clubs or classes are scheduled around this time? I just have this really bad feeling that I'm going to be or already am late for something." Not that she thought AJ could help with that, but at least it was worth a try. Asking received answers. She didn't seem to notice that he wasn't fully paying attention to what she was saying.

| Lani | 27 | Vampire |
"Thank you," Lani said, dipping her head towards him before standing. She swept her hand down the front of her skirt, straightening it out. She nodded in agreement. "I'll go see them," she murmured, her voice dropping in volume as her thoughts began to drift. She was brought back by the quiet fiddling before he handed a card to her; the girl reached for it and looked it over. The card was simple, black print on white, but she held it with careful reverence before tucking it away where she'd remember it. Will there ever be a time that I cannot use the link? she thought to herself as she walked through the threshold out of the office. The human-turned-Vampire nodded at his final comment and maybe in that moment she knew that she could trust him. Lani stood outside of Rhys' office for a moment, sweeping her hair back away from her face as she pulled the card out to study it more carefully. Her initial observations stood as she ran a finger over the slightly raised text. "Everything will be okay," she whispered to herself, almost ritualistically. And with a swift shifting of her weight, Lani was off towards the building's entrance.
Once she'd exited the building, she began to look around and try to get a sense of her siblings. "How can I do this without raising much attention?" she mused, taking in the milling students. Maybe she should go back to what she was doing in the courtyard and her brother and sister would just stumble upon her. And all the while, she hoped that Rhys would be able to do what he said and that he'd be safe doing so. There was an unspoken acknowledgement that filled the room when it came to Pierre Kingston and the weight that he bore; it would be difficult, but Lani trusted in Rhys.
| AJ | 23 | Vampire |
AJ shook his head, "No I don't," he answered, pulled out of his reverie and focus on the blood. He was silent for a moment, thinking about what today held. "Actually," he started, running through the tentative schedule that had been on his desk. "I think Orientation is today...?" he said, though it sounded more like an uncertain statement. He never really paid too much attention to the schedules or papers that others handed him unless it was specifically for a class. "Besides, it's the first day, an professors you have will be slightly more lenient. And if you explain, I'm sure they won't bite," he mused with a light chuckle at the double meaning.
He shook his head, trying to rid it of the thoughts he was getting of sinking his fangs into her throat. He blinked, trying to focus on the situation at hand. "How about I help you out?" he offered.

AuranskyWhen the pencil got broken in half, Eveline flinched. She wasn't sure whether Rowlin thought it was a good idea or whether Percival had hit on some unknown bit of past that was best left unexplored. Percival seemed to have no such worries, as he said, "My, that poor pencil gave its life for that statement. I hope that it was a good suggestion then?" He tilted his head, inviting Rowlin to say more. If there was more to say, that was. "I can't say I've been there in recent years, but it is, as you say, a charming place." Eveline looked down at he folded hands. Percival hadn't been traveling very much at all in recent years. Never mind just to Ireland.

"Well, that's not totally true," he insisted,"your friends alway have your back. If they're true friends they'll always have your back no matter what." Vison looked up when he picked up on the bored sigh, looking from Xander to the crowd of people,"do none of these people look good to you?" He questioned in disbelief. "But if Inwas in distress would you come to my aid?" He asked with a teasing grin. When questioned about Kane he put his hands on his cheeks, letting out a sigh,"only just a really hunky man with an attitude problem, but oh he could turn that arrogant gaze on me any day," he stated,"you'll see him, he's like the only guy with enough arrogance to suffocate a person." He let his hands fall and his eyes visibly saddened for a split second before he smiled again,"too bad he's only into chicks I think so it's not like I ever have a chance."
