Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucid nodded slightly, turning toward the stairs.
"I think I have just the rooms." he said, headed up them. He lead them to a long corridor at the end of which were two doors that stood facing each other. On the left door was a large butterfly carefully carved into the wood of the door. This door he pushed open first. "For you, Christiana. A room as bright and sunny as you are." He motioned her in with a sweep of his hand. He had originally had these rooms locked, but on the way up the stairs, he'd magically unlocked them, tidying them for use. This one was a vivid blue, like the summer sky and the walls boasted murals of meadows and butterflies of all kinds. The bed was a four poster canopy bed, with draperies the same color as the walls. The other furniture was made of dark polished wood and was situated so that there was still plenty of floor space.

A smile graced his lips as Lucid watched his daughter.
"I would not have offered it to you if I minded. It wants to be used." he said, then turned to his son. He loved wolves and if his son was anything like him, Lucid had the kid pegged. Shifting across the small corridor, he went to the opposite door. This one was made of a slightly darker wood, and had a beautiful wolf carved into it.
"I think this one suits you." he said, pushing open this door. The floor was covered in thick black carpet, but the room itself was circular, not square. Tucked on the far side was a bed that complimented the room by being circular as well. It bore no canopy, nothing too fancy. Fitted to one side of the room was a desk made of a deep red color. This matched the wolf patterns on the wall above it. The rest of the walls has white wolves painted into them, most of them participating in the pack howl. A trio of pups played in the snow just behind the door and the mother wolf watched them dutifully from above the bed, with her mate, the alpha beside her. The rest of the room was decorated accordingly, with built in weapon racks and mats to practice on.

"You are welcome." he said, leaning in the doorway. "I am sorry that I let you down. I know it bothers you that I didn't work a miracle and make your mother let me take both of you." He knew he might not make things better, but felt that it had to be said anyway. "Your mother wasn't the easiest person to win battles with. I loved her so very much that I found myself often unable to tell her no or deny her things. I know, it's pretty pathetic considering I'm the world's top criminal hunter at the moment and probably the oldest vampire alive. But it is true, whether you believe me or not."

Lucid allowed a grin.
"Better to get used to it now, Son." he said. "It'll be worse when you fall in love with the woman or man meant for you. You'll be able to deny them nothing." He glanced over at Christiana's doorway, noting that she was enjoying her room as well. He found that this was probably the best way to call it a night. "I must get some rest before Seth if due to arrive back here. I hope you both sleep well." he said to both, then started back down the corridor toward his own chamber.

Lucid, who had just been out to feed, glanced skyward, then lifted his arm to the falcon. Fear was a brief feeling as he scanned the sky for Seth. He could feel the weariness of the bird, though, as well as see it.
:What happened?: he asked, sending Talon some energy. He knew that what little energy he sent the bird would be sent to Seth anyway.

Stroking Talon's breast feathers, Lucid turned, opening the doors to the castle to allow the raptor entry. When Talon had flown in to sit on the perch that stood just inside the doorway, Lucid turned and moved over to where Seth lay, kneeling down to look at the wound.
"Nice one." he said, poking at the edges with a finger. "Good thing I just fed and can heal you. Tell me everything that happened." Placing a hand on Seth's forehead, he sent him energy in small doses not wanting to send the demon into shock.
