"You're not going to the first barrier? I mean, if you want to hunt that's where you should go." She said as she glanced towards the door. She had never liked saying the word feed bluntly. Hunt always seemed like a better term for their circumstance.

"There's no guarantee that I'll find anyone," Lucas said with a shrug. "I mean, we are in the middle of nowhere." As he realized that he said anyone, he glanced down, almost embarrassed to have admitted that. He normally didn't mention his preference to anyone simply because conversations could get awkward. He had had plenty of those.

Tom noticed she was looking at one car in particular and he started his prememorized speech for selling a car. "This lovely car..." he made no point to hide his boredom. He looked shamelessly backwards, hoping his boss would come and take over. "How much?" Lily skipped to the point. Neither of them wanted to waste their time here. "5,000," said Tom. And with five easy payments of $9.99 we can upgrade that to a dishwasher, he thought.

"I think you'd be surprised." For once, Selena's voice softened into a pitiful and almost mourning voice. She then turned back to her book, seeming to distance herself from the thought.

Lucas noticed the shift in Selena's tone, and he almost felt bad for his previous statement - almost. "Look, I'm not gonna change my preference," he finally said as he sat on the edge of the couch. "Despite whatever you may think of it." He finished before standing. "I'm gonna go down to the beach, okay. It's been a while since I've been to one, and I could use the time to think." He then turned to head out the door, but he was ready to turn around if she had anything to say to him.

She froze in her seat, her fingers just barely trembling. "That not what I meant. I.....have to hunt too. And it's not like either of us can change that, although the reasons behind it differ for us. The souls that get trapped in that barrier...they shouldn't be there. And yet they are. People wander and get careless. That is why I use that tone in regards to them. You can do whatever you want brother, just know whatever thoughts you just had in regards to me where mistaken, and that was my fault."

"Whatever," Lucas mumbled with a shrug, not turning around to face Selena. He didn't like her explanation, still believing what he initially thought. "I'm still gonna be at the beach." He then walked out of the cottage and headed toward the trail that led to the beach, still convinced that what he had thought was right. As he walked, he pushed a hand through his hair before letting out a sigh.

Hearing his footsteps grow smaller and smaller, Selena let out a long withheld sigh before closing the door to her right with a small gust of wind before returning to her book. Three hours left now. She thought with annoyance. Feeding and hunting just made her feel small and weak. And yet she had to do it. Unlike other vampires, substitutes were not an option for her. The ability to use magic in her state demand she feed, or else she would become sick once more. She shuddered at the thought, slowly sinking into the couch as she tried to focus on her studying. I'll master you one day electricity, just you wait...

Lucas took his time walking down the trail, needing the time to sort through the events of the past few days. While he maybe did regret the tone he used with Selena, he didn't regret what he had said to her. When he arrived at the beach, he took off his socks and shoes so he could walk barefoot in the sand. He walked toward the water and stopped once he got to the part of the stand that occasionally got wet from the crashing waves. He let out a sigh and stood there for a few moments, just taking in the beach. He then backed up a few steps and sat on the sand, still thinking about the events of the past few days.

The next hour or so Selena spent reading through her grimoires and updating her notes. While she only had three total they were rather huge books that were filled to brim with knowledge and wisdom. The one she was reading she had managed to barter off a Wizard from France: the auction lasted for six hours before she was able to get the highest bid. The next two hours she spent trying to escape the auction house due to some buyers not being pleased with her being the winner. She chuckled to herself, remembering the thought.

Thinking about the events of the past few days only put him in a worse mood than the one he had been in. Lucas swore aloud because there wasn't anyone else on the beach as put his socks and shoes back on before pulling himself up. The self-reflection only reminded him of what he didn't know about himself and why he was likely a terrible person, and he really preferred to not think about those things. He then turned to walk the trail back to Selena's cottage.

( Rosestar Oh great! Auransky Yeah I think you're right. I usually will try to take time off when I notice key players are away but I'm really etching to get to more plot arcs.) Having using the remainder of about an hour and a half, Selena had been mediating and focusing most of her powers on a single, translucent gem that lay on the table in front of her. Due to the recent storms, there had been a ever so slight shift in the electric fields, giving her the idea that maybe, just maybe, she could conjure some amount of lightning into the gem in front of her. It wouldn't be much, hypothetically, but it would be something.

((M'k)) featherlegRowlin made his way into the office. It was a day like no other; being called in, walking in then doing whatever was assigned. Some teams were lucky to have a case, in most cases most teams would sit around with paperwork of a previous case, sorting, or sort the papers of another group. He had phone in one hand, and a mug of hot chocolate on the other. Along his side was his usual messenger bag. He was in no rush though; seeing as he had left early to enjoy a walk but nonetheless he made his way through the building with the goal of eventually reaching his desk; unless he was sidetracked.

Getting a quick update from some of the other agents, Calhoun quickly made his way down from the upper floors to where the Sector main room was. He glanced around to see if Rowlin was around and was glad to see that he--unlike half of the Sector or Phantom Agents--was on time. "Rowlin, just the person I needed. I know you're a busy person, but I need you to deliver something to Phoenix's Secertary. I would have mine do it, but she's off with the rest of my research team. Think you can take the message for me?"

FeatherRowlin blinked as his attention was redirected towards Calhoun. He silently blinked, but nodded in a greeting. He listened now; taking everything into context. His secretary is out, the entire team is out; my team is out, the office seems empty.... okay... i'm early... He thought to himself. He wasn't thinking straight out clearly; he was tired slightly but perhaps that was from going on his little reading spree; after buying all those books not too long ago. He smiled though keeping an engaging gaze against the odds of really thinking elsewhere. "Y-Yea I can take the message for you." he replied calmly. "Just tell me what it is; and i'll head over there now. It's not an issue, nor an inconvenience one bit." He took a quick sip of his mug.

Auransky"Great! It's actually sort of a private matter, hence why I'm giving you-" He quickly grabbed a small letter from his jacket pocket to him which was sealed with a black wax,"--this. I wish I could just tell you the message but the Doctor would throw a fit if I did. Anyways, just make sure it's delivered promptly." He shook Rowlin's hand in thanks and then headed off down the hallway, eventually disappearing from sight. (Oh it's all good Silver! Hmmm well Dalton's brother is around now taking care of him, and Lucas is coming to terms with the fact that Selena is his sister. Can't think of anything else of the top of my head.)

Aegis☆.((No need to feel guilty, girly! Real life comes first; alright? )) featherlegRowlin smiled calmly; listening to Calhoun's excitement. It was like that of a child after being told that homework was being pushed to a different due date. Rather relaxing too. "Aye- I'm glad I can help." He stated softly. His attention turned towards the envelope. He wanted to ask about it, but after being notified that it would be best to not ask he nodded silently. "Don't worry about it one bit, this will reach its destination safely." He assured. "Now go off, and enjoy your day with one less trouble." He lightly laughed as he shook hands with him; after seeing him go he took one more look at the envelope. "Well... I've always wanted to be a delivery man." He softly told himself then walked down the hallway.
