( Aegis☆. I'm doing well! I recently got a new job so I've been there a lot recently. Luckily I have tomorrow off but I have school that day so it's not much of a day to relax. Yeah nothing super plot involved as happened yet. Auransky Should I just make a post of Rowlin showing up at the Phoenix offices and Aika reacting to it?)

featherleg ((Here's a post to bounce off of, :3 )) Rowlin eventually made his way down the halls of what appeared to be never ending. He kept a calm expression; thinking about everything else that he had done the past few days. It was rather an enjoyable experience, and the fact that he was interacting with more people then before; really brightened his eagerness for more adventure. He slowed his pacing making his way for Phoenix offices then tapped on the side of the door; despite it being open. "A-Aye excuse me." he softly stated making his way in, "I was asked to deliver this letter-" He stated calmly then took another sip of his drink. Aegis☆.((It's all good! School is just something that swallows everyones life! It's normal!))

Hearing the sound of the door to the office click open, Aika turned her head towards it, expecting either Naomi or a seriously ill--at least by her standards-- Dalton. Instead, the person she saw she almost didn't recognize until a rush of memories surged through her mind. She blinked in surprise and nearly stumbled a bit backwards before really getting a grip on the situation. "C-Correct, perhaps we can discuss this elsewhere?" She quickly apologized to James for leaving the office so early and ushered the man standing at the door to follow her. This is either going to be a blessing in disguise or a disaster.

BUT ANYWAYS! )) ((No time to be moping around, there's homework needing to be done and turned in.)) mintedstar/fur((D'aww thanks! ))((With Halloween in the not so distant future, I thought I'd theme up too. lol )) featherlegRowlin was calmly letting everything sink in. He kept a calm expression the entire time not letting any form of shock. Well isn't this a surprise.... I mean I could jump up, but if I think of this like any other day in a classroom setting then showing my shock wouldn't help to the matter He turned his attention towards the letter in his hand with some questions silently irking him in the back. "If these matters truly are of importance, then we should indeed discuss the matters elsewhere." He stated with a rather cheery smile. Seeing her walk off with a notion to follow he silently followed after rather curious to see what awaits.

Silence filled the hall as they continued walking until Aika stopped at a room that was in the back of the VDA offices. Her eyes glanced around before she lightly opened the door and signaled towards him to stay quiet. She then entered the room and waited for him to do the same, and then closed the door. The room looked to be one of the older offices, one of which had seen use in many years. There was also a lack of a speaker or any cameras within the room the could be used for monitoring or announcements. "I would ask what you're doing here to be honest, but right now that's not what's important." She said in a tone that only rulers or royalty would probably use. "So, please, tell me this. Does Calhoun know what you are or who you are?" Auransky

mintedstar/fur ((Thanks girly! I'm looking forward to the holidays. ;p I got some things in mind. xD One of the good things of having a show running for 20+ years. They have artworks for the year xD)) featherlegRowlin followed behind silently keeping at a steady pace. He didn't want to get to close, but at the same time he didn't want to drag too far behind; otherwise this awkward situation would double in awkwardness. His eyes skimmed the area trying to keep himself occupied while they made their way for the room they were to head towards. Seeing the door open he walked in and let his gaze explore the area. It was an older room indeed, something that may have not seen the lights of day for a while. His gaze was fascinated about it, until her voice broke the silence. His eyes turned towards her keeping his attention at her firmly and interactive. "Well..." he began. It was odd to be hearing that tone after what almost appeared to have been a long time. In a way this tone was different and yet almost familiar. Y-Yes that voice..It almost feels like it was yesterday.... damn... I'm old.... His gaze softened now. "W-Well no..." He replied now to her questions. "A-At least Calhoun shouldn't know in the least." He stated calmly at the thought. "It isn't like I'm going around telling people what I am in the least of context but-if we are I guess I am going around telling people that I'm a teacher. It's been my hobby for a while." He stated now applying what you are to a teacher. Teachers are things too right? At least that's how some students see it? He wondered.

Aika let out a sigh of relief, her figure visibly relaxing. "Then you're fine. Geez Rowlin, you came here at a very strange time. I have Calhoun on my trail for something that happened nine or ten years ago and a ticking time bomb in the center of it." Her hands ran through her hair, and for once she looked physically and mentally exhausted. "They're trying their hardest here to get back what they lost on the first three generations. It's been very taxing trying to keep the information hidden with Calhouns team working like dogs, which I'm sure you're aware of." Her eyes closed briefly as her arms dropped and crossed over her chest. "At least someone of your caliber is here."

James blinked, turning to watch the visitor and Aika leave. He didn't recognize their voice, and Aika sure seemed to be in a rush about it. Don't you let your worry for Dalton transfer to Aika. She's fine, and if she wasn't, she would tell you. James sighed to himself, and took another sip of his coffee. I shouldn't get myself too worked up right now, all things considered.

featherleg Rowlin let out a light chuckle, but placed a fist to hold back the faintest laugh. "Well my dear, it appears fate is rather unpredictable; don't you think?" He raised a puzzling brow. "It almost appears like time might be repeating itself, not exactly our events in time, but more along the lines of curiosity, ambition, and desire." He stated calmly taking another sip of his drink. "A-Aye just a quick note; I was freaking out on the inside.... your expressions totally mine, but being a teacher for who knows how long-it just sorta sinks in on you." He stated placing his mug on a nearby counter. "A-As for my transfer, it wasn't my call really. It was an opportunity as my chief stated back home, something about exploring the world while you are still young." He stated with his accent emphasizing on particular words. "S-Something like that. He also thought it would be a cool opportunity to see a city-which I have, but.." He shrugged now, "I still don't like cities. Years can pass and I just wont lime em one bit." He shook his head at the thought. "A-Anyways!" He snapped back to the topic. "I'm not going to ask what you've been up to, by the sounds of it you've been in quite a bit." He stated at the thought and her notions. "I-I'd really hate to inform you that I've not been kept in on the loop for anything. I transferred not to long back, and I've been sent out for various tasks since I got here. First day off a few days back out of what felt like forever, and I got lost in town." He admitted with a sigh, but he recalled his fun time with Yan, and Evangeline. It was a blast. "B-But...if you mind filling me in I'd be willing-N-No... I'd like to alleviate your troubles my lady..." ....It's been so long since I have said those words. And yet-even after all that time I find myself saying that willingly.. is it because I feel the need to contribute as a duty, or-is it that I'm glad to see that she's alright? Nonetheless.... a friend is a friend....are we even friends? O-Of course we are, right?"O-O-Of course-if you feel like this is a burden for you alone then I understand completely. I also understand if you hold a grudge for keeping off the radar for so many years. T-The world is a big place, and it never ceases to amaze me." He admitted with a sly smile; which quickly reverted back to a serious expression. "I'll hush up now... before I saw something I'll regret, or go off on a tangent." He lastly stated his voice softening.

A smile cracked across her lips as she lightly laughed. "You have a point there. Time is....odd. Linear, and yet subjective." She lightly nodded in agreement with him. "Apparently my presence does that to many people, on both sides." Her gaze dropped to the floor as she listened intently. "The country side is always more pleasant. Less eyes watching. Also....maybe it's better you stay out of the loop. Don't take that as harshness, but if you're out of the loop, then I'll have a better understanding of how the chain of operations works with Calhoun." his last words left in her with her thoughts for a few seconds. "I hold no grudges Rowlin. Everyone has a reason for leaving, either temporary or permanently. The only thing I ask is that....do not address me as what I was. I am not currently enthroned to anything expect my name. If...if I ever return to that life, then you can address me in that manner. But we are friends and equals."
A minute after Aika left the office, Naomi came in in a rush, her hair tousled and her expression astray. "James, I forgot that Isabelle and I were moving apartments today and now she wants me to take half the day off. What. Do. I. Do????"

James immediately broke out of his thoughts at Naomi's entrance. He had to smile- did he look that silly when he had stumbled in on Aika? "Well, I know Dalton is out today, but unless there's any pressing matters to attend to that'll take up the whole day, I don't see why you shouldn't help her out." he said mildly, standing up and stretching. "Want me to grab you any coffee?" he added, thinking some caffeine might help her out. She looked a little lost, which was strange for James. She was a strong member of the team. Who knew one little mix up could frazzle her?

featherlegRowlin relaxed now seeing her laugh a bit. It was just a conversation after all; an awkward back of the room catch up; but still a conversation. "Right-" He noted, "But it wasn't exactly your presence that baffled me." He shyly admitted. "Not in context of who you are to me, but rather of seeing an old face in a long time. Like staring at a reflection of the past when it's right in front of you." He explained lightly. When she mentioned the country side he nodded as a child; "Aye-it's wonderful out there." Then it hit him. "O-Oi...." He wasn't so happy at that response. "Out of the loop, and what happens if it gets out of hand for you?" He raised a brow. "Let's say everything spirals out of control they regain what they lost and suddenly something surfaces your connection to that. No scratch that; what if it appears like you were somehow responsible for said hiding something so sacred." He hand gestured. "Even if they don't find out who you are, it might appear like you were somehow a fugitive by tampering with such vital information. That wouldn't look good. Can you outrun them; perhaps... can you outlive them; probably. Will you regret it? Well that all depends." He waved a careless hand. "Perception and perspective; that's all that molds our world. Each and everyone of us view things differently. Should you do what you believe is right, someone else might find that as wrong. And then what? Will you kill them all, run, hide, or regret?" His voice softened at the thought. "Don't worry about that; this isn't exactly a renascence fair.. Even then I wouldn't let something so distant slip out. Sure I say some out of context things, but that's mainly because I'm a history major. It's all I do; read the past and piece it together from all perspectives." "A-Anyways.." He pulled out the envelope allowing the last part to slide. "This is for you. I wont intrude nor ask any further. it's not in my best interest; nor should be advised. B-but do keep in mind that if something be needed; I wont hesitate..." He explained then grabbed his mug once again with his free hand.

She nodded as she slumped into her chair. "No I'll be alright. She's just....a lot to handle right now. We uh...had an argument this morning about the new apartment and the layout for it. I'm sure it will be fine. We'll be fine." She glanced at the ring on her finger--which honestly she should wear more often--and then closed her eyes. Rosestar

"I have friends and allies that I trust working on this with me Rowlin. We've been on this case for four years now with trying to regain what we lost. If we lose and they get everything back, then it's back to square one. I have two months currently to get this right. If this doesn't work then we'll wait to strike again. It's as simple as that, at least that's what I'll keep telling myself." She simply nodded as she took the letter. "Noted. I remember what you're capable of, and will continue to do so." Auransky

James nodded, sure in both her and Isabelle. "Of course. If you need anything though, don't hesitate to ask." he added after a moment of hesitation. They'd both be fine without him, he was sure of it. He just felt the need to put it out there. Maybe it was all the stress of Dalton, seeing as he couldn't do anything for him... Ugh. Now wasn't the time to go there.
Dalton, meanwhile, was relaxing. It was always so easy when Zeus was around- well, in the privacy of their own home anyway. Under his care, he wasn't exactly feeling better, but as Zeus reported, "Your cheeks are less red- I told you, mom's chicken soup could cure anything!" A nice thought, but still a wistful one. His pounding headache wouldn't seem to go away. And the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to hurt. It finally just seemed best to close his eyes, and just let his mind go wherever it took him.
And again, for some reason, it took him to Aika. He felt the feeling of the solid couch underneath him and the comforting sounds of Zeus watching TV in the other room fade- he was floating, and it looked like he was in- he winced- school? He couldn't tell what year, but he was getting into a fist fight with that year's most popular kid. What was his name? It didn't matter, because Dalton was in the scene- a sharp kick to the shins told him very clearly that. Dalton swore, jumping back, then leaping forward to take a swing at his opponent's face. It was a clean hit, but there were more people gathering, more people kicking and jeering and yuck, did someone just spit on him? They were gonna pay for that-
And there was Aika. Younger, but defending him. She easily took on a good handful of bullies, and Dalton got up, scrambling to his feet, unwilling to make her do all the work. It was his fight- but they shared battles, helping each other. Aika's concerned face was the last thing he saw before being slammed back into reality.

featherleg"Alright.." Rowlin nodded lastly. He didn't want to pursue into anything deeper. This was something that might be best to walk away from. Unless he got dragged into it; then he wouldn't pursue. "W-Well if that's all on the matter, then I must get going." He stated with his casual calm tone tuning his voice. "Whether you just want to talk, or anything I don't mind one bit. It's what makes living so lively; the interactions that mark our memories." He smiled. "Don't worry about me one bit though." He jokingly stated. "I'm not the one going around drinking the life out of people, even if I ever wanted to." He rolled his eyes at the thought with a wave; revealing a marked engraved bracelet along his wrist. "Most worries when it comes to crime scenes are involving how someone like us would react, but it's been so long since I've been restricted that I almost feel too human from time to time. Then this thing reminds me, that i'm limited. Which I guess isn't a bad thing considering that the few times I been in some of the other European countries I've slid past hunters, exorcists, and anything hunting down vampires." He stated with a small laugh at the thought. "S-Sorry I don't get to rant about this stupid thing much." He apologized shortly after. "I felt the need to tell someone after so long.." He sighed now at the thought.

Silence wasn't something that usually found her, but when it did it allowed her to think clearly in opposed to her normal thought process, which was rather rushed with direct motives in mind. "About the case, Dalton hasn't been to the crime scene yet correct?" They witnessed frozen and--for the time being--stable amounts of blood magic. There was also blood magic residue at the crime scene but it was unstable. Maybe there's a link between them? Rosestar

Aika lightly smiled as she nodded back. "Your help is greatly appreciated Rowlin." Her eyes widened then narrowed at the sight of his bracelet. "I thought those had disappeared but now I see I was wrong to assume that." Maybe Elizabeth can try to make one later."Perhaps it's better to be limited since it allows us to be a bit more human, or at least as close as we'll get without a cure." She waved with her hand, gesturing 'It's alright' towards him. "If you're ever having troubles, just let me know." She then said her goodbye and headed back towards the Phoenix office. Auransky

I can't imagine any reason for him to go on that scene." Not like he was the only detective in the building, after all.
