(I’m honored to be an honorary member of the PST gang.
Since you insist, my thoughts so far:
Confirmation that Lucas is Gen Three! I was 90% certain about that, but the confirmation was great to have. The fact that he’s also an angsty fire boy is something I greatly appreciate.
Selena and Lucas. I can already see the beginnings of her wanting to be part of his life, and I find that so freaking precious.
But ew, my writing style. Not a big fan.)

(More thoughts:
That was a crappy flashback. The biggest cringe moment I’ve had so far lol
LUCAS! Who gave you the right to be so mean to people who want to help you! The audacity of that boy smh.
Selena and Lucas? Precious <3
Hurricane Matthew? Hahaha I had to deal with two more hurricanes during undergrad.
Bro, why are so many things “not your thing?”
All the angstttt! I’m gonna have to channel some of that later on - and I’m highkey excited OOPS
THAT LORE DUMP! Is all the information included on the front page?)

(Okay, so, question time. Papa Grey was a mage, and Lucas’ disappearance/turning triggered Selena’s magic. Would technically being magic born affect him in any way? Similarly, how would it affect Hannah if she was turned and was somewhat knowledgeable about magic at the time of her turning?)

featherleg“I can’t imagine what would motivate someone to do something like that.” Had there been some grudge between the two generations? Had the motivation been personal? Selena was right - the motivation for that incident was unclear, but the plan had been successful. “I’m sure it was, and it’s a shame such a tragedy happened there.” “So this trip just got more interesting.” Even without Dasco’s presence at Court, his followers would recognize Selena if they had been around for a while. Her hesitation had Lucas believing they hadn’t parted on good terms. Her showing up with him while he had mostly-healed burns on his hands and intended to file as a Flamed Tongue had the potential to cause drama, and that was the last thing Lucas wanted. He still wanted a simple life without much involvement in vampiric society, but he also wanted to rebuild his relationship with his sister. If that meant being more involved in vampiric society, then he would have to do it. “Whatever you did or didn’t do romantically really isn’t any of my business. I’m not in a position to judge, either.”

(In response to Lucas and his relationship to his fathers bloodline, since coming into contact with more Magic Borne that are aware of their powers and overall being like Selena and others from the Wolves Den, his powers would begin to manifest overtime. Due to him being a Flame Tongue, any powers that stem from fire would be much more powerful and either easier or harder to master, depending on the route you want to take with it. For Hannah, her knowledge and prowess in relation to her powers would be more manageable and expanded when compared to the two. What her specialties in magic would be are up to you, but when thinking in terms of her stability versus Selena's--which was noted to be improving but at a slow pace for magics like electricity--I feel that Hannah would outmatch her at the moment. That's just my read though of the three. If you feel like you want to take it in a different direction I'm all for it Misty ) Selena raised her eyebrows in surprise to his response. "I-If you say so." Her focus returned to the road ahead of them. The drive to the Court located outside of Embra was a longer route, mainly thanks to the mountain range the surrounded the city as well as the fact that it was located further up the Northern coastline. The highway that they were taking was designed to curve through the mountain range, which directed them southbound, which would then reconnect with the coastal highway to take them up north. "We should be at the Court in about...an hour and half I would say, if traffic is kind to us. Feel free to play whatever music you want." She said as she handed him her phone. "Passcode is 1763."

(These two are still so precious together and the epitome of “I’ve known you for three days but I would die for you.” I love the soft spot he’s already made for her in his angsty boy heart. Considering how troubled and difficult he is, I’m inclined to make things difficult for him. Let his magic journey reflect his personal one. Your read of the three is spot-on, though I wouldn’t be opposed to Selena eclipsing Hannah one day. Let her be a confident badass. Hannah would hate it, but a girl has to be humbled sometimes (; Okay so this seems like a very basic question, but Lucas and Hannah being magic borne and then being turned into vampires would make them Banished/Betrayed, right? If yes, I have a handful of questions related to that. I made an account but am clueless as to how I would find everyone oops.)

(misty#6941) featherlegLucas entered the passcode in Selena’s phone. After her home screen came up, he located a music app and selected a pre-made alternative rock playlist with some of his favorite artists. “I hope it is. I don’t think this’ll come as a surprise to you, but I hate traffic.” Whenever he was behind the wheel, he was incredibly impatient. The pile of speeding tickets at his apartment was proof of that. Traffic only exacerbated his impatience, but it also seemed to prevent his pile of speeding tickets from growing.

"Good thing I'm driving then, right?" Selena didn't mind driving the two as it gave them some time to get comfortable around each other, especially with the idea of silence. Having the alt-rock playlist certainly helped ease the awkwardness as their were relationship was...well, new. Or perhaps renewed? She could figure out the terminology later. "Soooo, what do you want to do after we get you registered? I know we decided this was the best course of action to start with, but we can also just...hang out? Like siblings would?" Misty

All of this really seemed to amuse Tom more than anything else. His eyes were crossed as he looked at the knife blade, but all in all, he seemed to be pretty confident that he wasn't going to find it buried in his skull. He took his time answering, however. If Aika or Celestia were paying attention, they might be able to spot the gears working behind his eyes. Weighing whether there would be any purpose in answering and weighing the consequences. He eventually seemed to judge it would be worse for him if he didn't say something. "My name is Tom. Tom Lawton." He paused directly after saying that, mused for a second, then asked, "Care to introduce yourselves? Would make this all the more pleasant." He took another hesitant look at the knife, then seemed to consider his request as not very wise. "Or not. That'd be fine too. My relation to Rowlin is a ... passing friend. Bit of a fan, that's me. Maybe even a fanboy. He did some cool "magic tricks" and I got every so curious. So color me his number one fan and I just had to follow him to know more, yes?" He seemed ... honest, albeit everything seemed phrased in a colorful way. "Also I'm nothing important. Carsalesman. Truly as boring as they come." She'd been asking if he was human, hadn't she? Or maybe more than that? Well, if he was going to avoid the question, he'd still do it honestly. "What's your occupation?" he asked. "Your friend here a butcher, perhaps? I mean ... it is quite the impressive knife. Almost could say it's making a very pointed statement." When in doubt ... pun! featherleg Auransky (Or, you know, take a half hour nap ...)

As Tom spoke, Celestias eye color seemed to have changed from a soft, sage green to an ice cold blue. While she herself couldn't read minds or thoughts, she could sift through peoples emotions and responses through speech. "Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm Celestia Akiyama, the former enchantress to the Hakuryu Court. Surely you've heard of them, yes?" Aika glanced over at her in slight concern, but Celestia just waved her off. We're really not a point of luxury to dance around such information.Raising a brow at his response as to why he followed Rowlin in the first place, she was surprised to find it truthful to a point. "You have an odd way of checking in on your friend, Tom. And no, my friend here is not a butcher, but I would like to cut to the chase here and stop this coy dance we're having. You want to know more about Rowlin and his...abilities. I would like to know why. So, I'll give you two options: One," She reached into her pocket and waved a medium sized gemstone at him," you join us for dinner while being held in check, or Two, I use this to make you briefly disappear, and once dinner is done, we can resume this conversation with our dear friend. Don't worry though Tom, you'll come back to this plane without issue. Maybe being away for a bit will allow you more time to consider the situation?" mintedstar/fur Auransky

(Meet my flirty book geek ^^)
Screen Name: Misty First Name, Middle name{If you want!}, Last name: Hannah Marie Grey Gender: female Age{15-45}: 24 Team(Only needed if they're working in the VDA): N/A Field of Work(Either one of the four positions in the VDA or what they do as a vampire/witch. If you'd like to have your character work in the Sector please let me know in advance): N/A Description{Detailed please! This can go as far as letting me know their three favorite outfits to what they look like in the daytime vs the nighttime ): Hannah is a tall, curvy woman whose love of designer heels often makes her appear to be taller than the five feet and ten inches at which she stands. Her eyes (one bright green and one warm orange but normally hidden beneath a bright green color contact) are lined with black winged eyeliner and smoky eyeshadow, but her love of makeup doesn’t end there. She wears a full face of makeup every day, with the only variation being her highlighter and lipstick colors. Her lower back-length blonde hair has about as much variation, as she only wears it in two styles: half-up top knot with the ends curled or space buns with the underside braided. She has a multitude of piercings in her ears, a nose stud on the left, a twisted barbell in the middle of her lower lip, and a bellybutton piercing. She also has many tattoos, including a book-themed tattoo on her right forearm, two pairs of cat paws on her right shoulder blade, a simple cat tattoo above her left elbow, a floral sternum tattoo, and four tattoos on her ankles (two on each ankle with one inside and one outside). Her almond-shaped nails are always painted black, and she always wears at least one necklace and multiple rings. Personality{Detailed as well. I really want to see who your character is so don't just say sweet. A person can't just be plain out sweet for their whole lives!}: The first thing people often notice about Hannah is her fun, flirty attitude toward life. She doesn’t appear to take things too seriously because, (probably) in her words, “life is too short to live with a stick up your ass.” The second thing they notice is the blunt way in which she speaks. There’s very little, if any, beating around the bush. When the situation calls for her to be more serious, the fun and flirty attitude disappears, but her bluntness mostly remains because she does choose her words a bit more carefully. She’s quite proud of her appearance in all aspects, as shown by her love of clothes that are tight and short. In many ways, Hannah is used to getting what she wants when she wants it, and she hates being told no. For all the attention she gets with her fun and flirty attitude, she prefers to have a small circle of close friends. This select group of people are the only ones who get to see her traits that she doesn’t want everyone to know about, which includes her hobbies and her love of snuggles. Talents: Hannah is quite talented with magic. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the theory and study of magic as well as it’s application. She has also mastered many different types of magic. As for more mundane talents, she’s skilled with a sewing machine so she can indulge in cosplaying fantasy book characters. Generation(Only needed if they're a vampire): Three Bloodline(Only needed if they're a vampire): N/A Flaws/Disadvantages: Hannah is incredibly proud of her appearance, so any negative comment about it is something she’ll hold against someone for a very long time. She’s very protective of her library and would do just about anything to keep people out of it. She’s not focused on doing the right thing. No, she often does the best thing for her, regardless of it being the morally right decision. Relationship Status: single and down to hook up Other{Anything else you want me to know? History, siblings, pets, where their from etc}: Even though Hannah is a Generation Three vampire, her magic borne heritage makes her one of the Banished/Betrayed.

“Yeah, probably.” Lucas looked at Selena and gave her a soft smile before laughing. “Probably,” he repeated. He didn’t think it would be a great thing to terrify Selena with his driving, especially while they were rebuilding their relationship. Later on, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if he was the one driving around. “I think I owe Elizabeth an apology for being such an ass to her, but after that, we could hang out and get to know each other again.” featherleg

( Misty Hannah has been added to the roster!) She warmly smiled back in a manner that seemed less hesitant than their previous interactions. Perhaps it was wishful thinking, but he seemed to be easing up around her. At the mention of visiting Elizabeth she simply nodded. "You did leave her in a state not many would look kindly on. However, apologizing would be the least you could do to gain her favor back." Her boss, while a very generous woman, took matters like Lucas's situation rather seriously. Especially considering she performed the ritual herself. She shook her head quickly, as if to move the thoughts of business out of her head. "We could go to the Observatory then, afterwards. It's a much more secluded café within the city and they have a nice variety to their menu." Eventually, the lush forest around them pulled away to reveal the coastline. As it was still morning, the sun shone through the fogbank that seemed to drift in the air. They paused at a stop light briefly before turning left to make the journey up the coast.

“I’d rather not piss off the people you work with and for.” That could put Selena in a difficult situation, and Lucas didn’t want to do that to her. It would strain their relationship, and he didn’t want to do that. Rather, he wanted to rebuild it. “That sounds nice.” They could talk for a bit, though he hoped the conversation wouldn’t be too awkward. As they journeyed up the coast, Lucas caught himself looking toward the ocean. “Before today, the last time I was at a beach was with my friends. We spent a long weekend there, drinking and playing different party games.” That had been a couple of years ago. He still talked with his friends, but the relationships were a bit distant. Maybe he needed to reach out to them. featherleg

" Weeellll, you kind of already did? But! It should be fine, we just need to iron everything out. Simple as that." Knowing Elizabeth though, nothing was ever simple with her. She'll probably ask for a favor of some sort. Let's just hope it's not too extravagant. Selena tried her best to imagine the scene that her brother described to her. A good group of friends just enjoying each others company for a weekend. Wait, when was the last time she attended a event like that? "Sounds like a good time. I only really go to the beach that's by my house. It's not a huge stretch by any means but it's seclude. Maybe you could invite your friends over sometime? T-That is if you want to, no pressure at all." Misty

(Good job, Lucas xD Oh! How much further did the plotting get last night?) “I’d rather not piss them off even more,” Lucas amended. He hoped that Elizabeth wouldn’t hold a grudge against him for how he had acted. “Why do I get the feeling that it isn’t as simple as you’re making it out to be?” He dragged his fingers through his hair as he considered the idea. “Maybe sometime later? I’m not sure I want them around right now. I think I’d like to have a better handle on my fire powers before they all visit.” He looked at his mostly-healed hands and let out a sigh. (And do I remember how he burned his hands? No. Was it on the old forums? Yep.) featherleg

(He's getting better! Just, you know, baby steps. MistyDia and I have a pretty solid idea for building more backstory between Celestia and Derrick which I am looking forward to. I think his hands were burned as well. Anna was helping him at the time if I remember correctly?) "Right, right. W-Well, we won't know until we get there so let's not stress about it too much. We're already going to the Court. We can just focus on getting one thing done at a time." She didn't want to make him feel stressed out about either ordeals, but it was hard to avoid, especially given his position. "Of course! Ah, how did I forget that? Maybe we should just head back to my place or yours after we visit Elizabeth. I can get to work on a salve that will help speed up the recovery." She seemed rather confident in the idea despite not spending much time actually examining the current state of his hands.

(He’s really trying for Selena, and I love him for it. That’s awesome! I look forward to reading it ^^ Maybe, possibly. I don’t remember at all D: ) Translation: it probably wasn’t going to be simple, and Selena was avoiding saying that - maybe so she didn’t worry him. Lucas’ day had already been rough, to say the least. “I really want that to go well. Get there, do our shit, and leave before anyone tries to start something with us.” “No, no, we can still go to The Observatory after. My hands seem mostly healed.” He didn’t feel like he needed to hide the burns while they were out because they didn’t seem too bad. “But maybe we could do that after,” he offered as an alternative. “If you even think it’s necessary. My hands don’t look too bad now.” featherleg

Selena nodded to his statement and burst out in laughter at his checklist of how his apology with Elizabeth with go. "Lucas, no one expect maybe Elizabeth would do anything to us. I'm one of the lead researchers in the lab and have been long enough to gain reputation and respect among my colleagues. If any of them try to mess with you, they'll answer to me. But if it makes things easier, we'll get in and out of there as quickly as possible." Two things in her current life that she found her voice in were her abilities and her position within the Wolves Den. Having spent most of her early years post turning studying magic versus investing in her vampiric nature gave, in her mind, an advantage that other Betrayed vampires simply lacked. This was partially due to her patience and determination to tap into her magical heritage, but in the end it had paid off. She still had a long ways to go in gaining full control of her powers, sure, however that didn't stand in her way. "Well, it's your call. If you aren't in a lot of pain then I can work on the salve later. I just...", She paused in mid thought, mulling over her words, "...want to help as much as I can." Misty(They're both trying so hard to just rebuild and restart their relationship, it's so sweet qwq Aww thank you! Don't worry too much about the details since we can't recover the past info. I think having him on the path of recovery makes sense and is a physical reflection of him attempting to be better: understand his powers, reestablish his relationship with Selena, etc.)

“You underestimate my ability to piss off the wrong people.” But Lucas joined Selena in her laughter, finding that it was difficult out to not laugh while she was - at least in this moment, anyway. “That sounds great.” In and out without any time to upset someone, that was what he wanted. “It really doesn’t hurt all that much,” he assured her. “And it doesn’t look too bad either. I’ll be fine if you work on the salve later. I’d let you know if the burns bothered me.” featherleg(I adore it <3 but wouldn’t it be a shame if there was some tension down the road xD We love some good symbolism. So the cat is back and purring and I’m giving him all the kisses. He’s the black one in my profile pics.)

Rowlin was on standby, by the hallway. His back rested against the wall, and with one hand he pulled out his smartphone. He decided to check some messages, it was easy cover- being busy. In reality, he probably would be looking at his phone , messaging others, and keeping tabs on certain people. Right now- it was just a need to provide him a reason to be in the hall. His green gaze, looked at his phone but ocassionally he'd glimpse around. One thing that had quickly caught his attention was the amount of hung frames- what was on the frames was initially the least of his attention. Yet- seeing he had caught up with most of his tasks, he started glimpsing more at the frames, one by one- family, pictures of Derrick, and Celestia, pictures of children-their kids. It was a lot- of good and happy moments. His expression softened, as his head tilted at a sideways angle. Seeing the lot of memories made him briefly reflect on a few things- family- the calming days, the innocent days- the days before war and bloodshed. There was so much and yet- trying to reflect also hurt his head. He leaned forward, resting a palm against his forehead as he winced in pain- Derrick was very happy seeing Viola and Kai accepting the offer. It was great- had this situation been worser then it already was, he would of been sighing of relief. However, there - this - yes this was a mission, and he had to keep his head high till the end. "Great." He happily ensured hearing 2/3 children very concerned. It was at this moment that he had to turn towards Damien, who seemed questionable of this entire situation, maybe skeptale? There was always something in that boy's mind. Yet Damien shrugged, as if the boy had given in or maybe there was something else? He didn't want to stick around and create questions where they weren't needed. Damien watched his father, it was so odd- it was a plead deal, the kind he'd seen in court movies and documentaries. Where the guilty settle with something in return for something punishing by with more mercy. The young man raised a brow, watching his father but didn't respond. Instead he looked away with a slight shrug, not caring too much about the outcome for the time being. On one hand the idea of having this meal tonight meant food as a crew, on the other hand they were being given the pleasure of enjoying the food now, and not later. After his father left he immediately turned to his siblings and and then proceeded to shrug. The entire day, of cleaning the house from top to bottom, to prepping the food, to not eat it? What kind of sick punishment was this? Regardless, was tempted to start eating, but also curious about the sudden plea deal. "Y-Yea.." He softly stated to Kai. "Maybe- something small a quick nibble.. so i'm not dying here...." He further considered both sides, a neutral route. Before long, he blinked, watching Viola filling her Curry bowl, it wasn't even a second and she was entirely digging in. It was astonishing and yet so good at the same time. Slowly he reached for the rice and curry, but at the same time he had to retract his hand. He wanted to eat, but he knew how special today was supposed to be with his parents. Now normally food was food, but his parents made the biggest deal about today- and if there was something he didn't want to do, was upset his mother. Lastly he turned to Kai, blinking at her own sheepish smile, maybe that was the breaking point-the end of the little morale he had. It was her agreeing to it, that he couldn't help but reach for rice and curry, past his definition of midway. The stage was set, he jumped across the bridge, and there was no going back. The food was really good... In between all this surrender, Damien had started to enjoy the food, he entirely caved in and it was well worth it. During this time his eyes scrolled towards the entrance of the dinning room, Viola had rushed and returned , as quick as a whistle. Which she left alone, she returned with two others- they were familiar faces-family, part of the reason today was very special. Feeling a tad bit guilty of his enjoyment but too late to go back, he waved, and briefly used a napkin to cover his mouth, as he briefly swallowed before speaking. "Uncle Urian, Aunt Leila, Hello..." He spoke with now a sheepish smile himself. Only a few minutes ago he felt like a king, now he felt like a wanted criminal getting caught red handed. Nonetheless, Damien watched his Aunt and Uncle take a seat to enjoy the night. Uncle Urian always had some kind of flair, the kind of flair you found in the movies and books-it was almost fake, but so real at the same time. It felt strange- but talking to family was always strange- family outside the house, specifically. It's cool and intimidating....almost scaryHis attention turned to Leila now, as she had begun to ask questions. "Well... we been busy with school." He first began. "Sports, clubs have also been a little hectic..." Damien slowly started, this eyes were glimpsing between his aunt and uncle. He liked talking to his aunt a lot, and enjoyed talking to his uncle too, but something about his uncle's flair made the man intimidating at a glance. "So.. this year Hockey practice is doing great, and we're ready to wipe the ice on our next opponent." He glanced at his sibblings Viola and Kai, "School... has mostly been destroying my life.." He glimpsed at his sibblings once more. "They been up to a lot... too..." To see the kids eating initially, Derrick quickly zoomed out of the picture and headed for the wall. The time was now, and he wasn't going to go back. Approaching the hallway, he spotted Rowlin, and quietly tapped on the lad who seemed to be hunched over and just not having a great time. "Something, wrong?" He asked softly. Rowlin, had winced up initially to spot Derrick coming but the headache was too much. Was he hungry? He was probably hungry, in fact, he was probably starving. That's what it was, an empty head , on no food. Certainly just hungry, right? He glimpsed at Derrick who asked a question, he shook his head in response, "I-I'm fine.." He softly commented. "I'm fine.." He further added. "Just a tad tired.." He further added. "O-Okay.." Derrick replied unsure as to how to reply. He nudged his head back in the direction he came, "Head back with the others. I'll stand watch here." He further tapped Rowlin on the shoulder for a response, given the lag between a verbal and physicals response. Yet he noticed not much if not any response as quick as before-long before. Is he tired? or did he know I was going to tap him? I tapped him rough? Someone would react with a wince, or a shiver or some kind of joint movement... "Just take a seat, and -enjoy the food. Smile at the kids and when our guests arrive be curtious." He instructed totally unaware of the arrivals already being present within the home. "R-Right.." Rowlin replied after a brief moment. After being further instructed and what felt like a dismissal, he branched off from the wall, and started to make his way back to the living room. Yet he stopped a few steps away nd turned his head back towards Derrick, "I'm glad...to see things have been going well for you and Celestia." After a brief pause, he proceeded to the living room, and made his way over to the dinning room where the kids were eating. His green gaze observed the goodies, and the expressions of the kids-which he expected to be godly given the food was godly, and yet all their attentions were drawn to the newcomers- it was Urian and Leila, who too seemed to be enjoying themselves with the dinner. He slowly found an empty seat, with a gentle smile towards the roudy table. "Good Evening.." He referred in general. "Glad to see everyone's enjoying themselves." Now alone in the hall, Derrick leaned against the wall himself. He let out a hefty breath, knowing half the challenge had been won. However now there was questions about what to do next. They isolated the problem, but they had to find a way to situate the problem. Just who was upstairs? What was upstairs? Why were they upstairs? What intention was being carried out upstairs? So many questions that he was dying to know, to barge in and demand answers. Yet- today, it was Celestia's job, she said she had this, and he was going to let her, have this. But what is she and Akai were hurt? Would they need help? Did they need help? Were they introuble? Were the kids next? New thoughts came, and clumped on older thoughts. Too many thoughts, so much concern, such a small space- He stopped. Derrick took in a deep beath and shook his head. "They'll be fine..." He softly assured himself.

While Elizabeth would sure have a speech ready to scold him with, at least she was familiar to an extent with the both of them. The only advantage they had going to the Court was that Selena was connected to Dasco and that she had visited this particular location several times. Selena relaxed as he went over his current condition to her. "Alright." She would just have to trust him on the manner. Pushing the subject too much wouldn't do them any good, and if he was fine right now then there was no need to cause a fuss about it now. At some point in the drive they came across a fork in the road, one path continuing along the natural course of the coastline while the other was a bridge that stood over the ocean that seemed to wrap around an approaching mountain peak. Carefully, Selena merged onto the bridge path, breaking away from the majority of the morning traffic that they had been in. Misty

(Good afternoon! That sounds like a v good plan ^^ Sneaky sneaky reply xD) “Good idea.” Lucas just wanted to register as quickly as possible and then leave Court behind. His last visit hadn’t been for a good reason, and he didn’t want those painful memories to surface during this visit. “What exactly should I expect from this visit, beyond having to register? Re-register?” featherleg

At the appearance of his Uncle and Aunt, Kai joined in a similar fashion to his brother with waving at the two while covering his mouth with his hand. He quickly grabbed a napkin, making sure to clean his mouth before speaking. Their mother had always stressed the importance of manners and etiquette to them. "Evening and welcome to you both! Mom and dad should be joining us soon." He affirmed quickly, even though he wasn't that sure if they actually would. Dad didn't say much as to why they're occupied besides Mom needing to talk with Aunt Aika... He thought while spacing out, half paying attention to his brothers replies to Urian and Leila. Leila and Urian on the other hand listened intently while Viola continued eating her dinner, occasionally trying to make it seem like she was in on the conversation. At the mention of hockey, Leila grinned before taking a quick sip from her glass and setting it down. "That's awesome Damien! You know we'll be there to cheer you and your team on, as always. Right, Urian?" Her brother seemed to freeze before smiling softly at her. "O-Of course. Just let us know the schedule for your matches in advance and we'll be there." Certainly their nephews and niece wouldn't be aware of the small detail of their aunt skipping classes just to go watch their activities, but Urian did. Unlike her, he took his studies seriously. The only downside to that was that he tended to load his schedule with too many lectures, workshops, and research trips, making him seem a bit more distant when compared to Leila. Upon the mention of school becoming difficult, the two seemed concerned. I wonder if he's expressed such thoughts to his parents yet? Leila thought as Urian spoke up. "As a whole or more so a certain class?" Leila quickly interrupted him before he continued his list of questions that she knew were inbound. "Hey, he could be stressed from other aspects as well. Is anyone giving you a hard time right now in class or in your friends group? Or-," her eyes seemed to flash with sudden amusement, "-has someone caught your eye?" Urian shook his head, groaning internally at her question. "Leila, seriously?" "What?! I could be right, you know. Am I, Damien? Oh and don't worry, we won't tell your parents if it is the case." She said with a smirk while Urian continued to frown at the situation. Why does she always derail the conversation like this? If we're lucky, we'll find out what the actually issue is in two hours. He sighed as a he gave Damien an apologetic look for his sisters inquiry. As the conversation continued, with Viola interrupting briefly to state that she was, in fact, not a lot to handle while trying her best to glare at Damien (which more so just turned into a cute attempt at a stare that she could not hold for that long), Urian's gaze piqued off of the table towards the new voice entering the dinner rooming. "R-Rowlin? I had no idea you were here, it's great to see you again." How long had it been since he and Leila had been in the same room as him? forty, no wait, fifty, maybe between sixty to seventy years? It was hard to keep track of details like that.
