AntoniSilvers *Antoni was silent a moment and then nodded*Well, he's our stepdad, real dad passed away a while ago. But yeah, our stepdad is one of those "up by your bootstraps boy" type people. He believes that people who take vacations are weak...as he told me many times. Funny that he didn't say that about Aykon after Aykon told him he would be back for a while. He's that type of guy. *He shrugs* Some dad's are just like that. I'm sure he loves you all the same, and is probably looking out for your best interest. I know my dad.....uh...nevermind, my dad's not really important. Her voice steered off at the last moment, as she realized going any farther wouldn't be a good idea. She hadn't had much of a father, just people trying to constantly control her life.

*As the party begins to die down a little after lunch time Rhodes allows herself to be escorted to the carriage by Heinrich, He helps her in and lingers his hand*
"You know spatzi, you look trouble. What is it that's bothering you?"
*The vampire sighed, her friend could read her like an open book sometimes. *
"I don't really feel like talking about it quite yet.. "
*She knew he would respect her wishes and he silently nodded to her, kissed her hand and sent her on her way. The carriage was bouncy the whole way back to the tavern, the woods outside seemed to be a large green blur as her mind went fuzzy in thought. A little while later the carriage came to a halt, Rhods step out, bade the horseman good bye then quietly went through the tavern to her room.
Inside her room she changed into something less heavy, grabbed a few of the books out of her rucksack along with some parchment and a pen then went back downstairs to settle on the couch. She had decided earlier that she might as well start working on the translations for the clan. Even if they had rid themselves of her, and she left it was still her duty to her kind to finish these translations. They were essential for all vampires.*

Grem kept herself busy. She started to collect the empty plates and stack them on the tray. She stopped just long enough to watch Rhodes glide silently through in her finery. If The girl had looked her way just once she would have smiled and said hello. but it didn't happen. The smile stopped at the smallest twitch of her mouth and instead she frowned lightly.
Grem shakes out of her thoughts as Rhodes leaves. She collects the last of the empties and takes them into the kitchen. When Rhodes returns Grem doesn't see it. She's started on the washing and tidying, singing and huming softly to herself as she does so

Plus, this new dad doesn't give mom as much freedom as our real dad but she chose him, not us. So, we can't really say much about him. Anyways...what about your dad? *Anotni was curious and then he also looked over at Grem and realized he didn't have the foggiest clue what to pay her. Hopefully Aykon had some notes or paychecks or something.*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside her room she changed into something less heavy, grabbed a few of the books out of her rucksack along with some parchment and a pen then went back downstairs to settle on the couch.

It didn't take long Sandwiches never made a lot of mess even when she took a lot of care over them. Outside she heard the casual conversation and it made her smile.
With the last tea cup polished and replace neatly in the cupboard she returned to the main room and looked around
oO(You are a guest you know. People might think it's funny you taking over like this)
She chuckled softly and picked up a cloth from behind the bar. Without another thought she started polishing off the rings from the teacups.

Anyways...what about your dad? *Anotni was curious and then he also looked over at Grem and realized he didn't have the foggiest clue what to pay her. Hopefully Aykon had some notes or paychecks or something.* Everyone loves differently, which is good sometimes. We can learn different things from them, and who knows maybe what your step-dad does is something that your mom needs. Of course she's the only one who can know that for sure. She had expected the question, but her stomach churned nonetheless. She had hoped he would leave it at that, and normally she would have told him to bug off, but with her new found tolerance for people, she also felt it would be rude not to answer his question, since he had answered hers. She could lie she thought, but that didn't feel right either, so sighing softly, she tried to relax as she answered his question.My...dad? My dad...wasn't around very much. He was very busy most of the time, and when he was around he didn't pay much attention to me. I think he had expected a more.... man's boy? Except he got me. My parents had tried for years to have children, and when my mom finally got pregnant I was their last hope. I guess I wasn't all they had hoped for. Anyway my dad died when I was 10, from natural causes. He was pretty old by then, even by our standards. She realized she had probably said more then was needed, but for once it felt good to talk about her dad and not want to burst into tears from his memory of disapproving glares, comments and sometimes outright verbal abuse.

Ksi seemed almost distracted at first, as if he were looking for something.
Hm? Oh, I had a terrible conflict come up with some demons, but thankfully I managed to quell it. My hometown is in Nippon, a country better known as Japan. I come from the city of Kyoto, which is on the planet Earth, in a parallel dimension. This isn’t really my home world.
He smiles wryly at Red. Listening to Antoni Ksi nods, but then seems a little surprised.
Did you say you’re Aykon’s brother? Hm, that’s odd, he never mentioned you.
Ksi blushes a little and looks down for a second.

I mean, if all he wanted was a boy to carry on then there shouldn't be any prob with that...but maybe I don't understand this stuff as good. That is sad to hear your father passed away, it is much harder for a man to grow up with a father than a woman. The vice versa is also true. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ksi He smiles wryly at Red.

Eh, don't worry about it Ksi, Aykon is the type of guy who only tells what is necessarry. If he didn't feel like telling someone about me then he didn't feel it was important to mention me. Some of his best friends back in Portland don't even know me. Even fewer know about our sister Aleyah too. It's cool.

He smiles wryly at Red. Listening to Antoni Ksi nods, but then seems a little surprised.Did you say you’re Aykon’s brother? Hm, that’s odd, he never mentioned you. Demons? Earth? Not your homeworld? Red had heard about such things before by her people, but mostly in passing. There were rumors that some of her distant brothern could do just what Ksi had proposed he did, but her people were far from acknowledging that they weren't at the top of the magical food chain. However, if could and even Aykon, then maybe she could learn it as well.How exactly do you do this? This going to other dimensions? Antoni Silvers *Antoni shrugs* Yeah, I know she sees some thing in him. Like I said before, she chose him and Aykon and I just accept that. Besides, I didn't mean to make him sound like a bad guy, he isn't, he just isn't like my dad. *Antoni looks Spike up and down with a confusion in his eyes.* He got you?

That is sad to hear your father passed away, it is much harder for a man to grow up with a father than a woman. The vice versa is also true. I wish it was that easy for me. But just because one is a boy doesn't mean anything. My father was a very powerful...I guess you can call him a Lord, although he wasn't exactly that either, but anyone, its not just about being able to carry on the family name, but also the family...heritage...but then again its not exactly a heritage either. Where I come from strength is everything, and if you want to keep your position you have to be the strongest, and well I don't have the kind of strength I would need to do that...or the equipment either... She mumbled that last part, as she looked back off towards the door before turnings towards Ksi, a smile crossing her lips as she saw him blush.Ksi Did you say you’re Aykon’s brother? Hm, that’s odd, he never mentioned you. Ksi blushes a little and looks down for a second. You can't be expected to know everything Ksi.

Ksi nods at Spike's last statement.
This is true. As for planes-walking, it requires imense power and force of will, that's about it really. Either that or you can use a gate or portal of some kind, but those can be limiting or unpredictable. Antoni, can I get a glass of soda or some kind of tasty beverage, please.

~becca~fae~ Red listened to Ksi intently and became more and more puzzled as she did. This fact plainly evident on her face. Demons? Earth? Not your homeworld? Yup, my brother mentioned fighting demons too. I have seen a few here and there in our new home world but they are nothing like the ones Aykon mentioned fighting. I don't know how you guys keep calm in the face of those things. ~becca~fae~ She signed and shook her head, knowing it was far more complicated then that. I wish it was that easy for me. But just because one is a boy doesn't mean anything. My father was a very powerful...I guess you can call him a Lord, although he wasn't exactly that either, but anyone, its not just about being able to carry on the family name, but also the family...heritage...but then again its not exactly a heritage either.

She mumbled that last part, as she looked back off towards the door before turnings towards Ksi, a smile crossing her lips as she saw him blush. Lots of stuff there about what is and isn't, you are what you are no matter what. It is a shame to hear that your dad drove so hard but didn't really earn his position. Those people are difficult to handle most of the time. As for the last part, I kind of thought so but didn't want to say anything.

*Rhodes scribbles down several lines of the text then opens another book for reference. She was so caught up in what she was doing she didn't really notice the people around her.*

*After a few moments had passed Synge got out of the water, rolling her pants down and putting her shoes and socks back on. She stretched a little and tied her sweater around her waist. Making sure her shoes were tied tightly, she made her way back to her starting point. The running felt great, as always, it was a wonderful way to make her feel active and as though she was accomplishing something.*

AntoniSilvers *Antoni nods as he is taking all this in. He also raises an eyebrow at the last part of the statement. Mumble or not, he knew what was said but he had to remain equally quiet about it.*Lots of stuff there about what is and isn't, you are what you are no matter what. It is a shame to hear that your dad drove so hard but didn't really earn his position. Those people are difficult to handle most of the time. As for the last part, I kind of thought so but didn't want to say anything. What me not being strong enough? Well thanks a lot. I'll never come to you for encouragment, but thanks all the same. As it is he earned it, fair and square. As did his father before him, and grandfather. I am the only one who hasn't, and probably never will. I'm not so sure if I even want it anymore. My father is probably having etheral agony right now. Strangly enough that brings me some satisfaction.
