Kain growled, directed towards Abel. He didnt like him even if they were siblings. It was too long of a story for either of them to explain. Vempyremon was involved and it gave Kain a wicked scar, though Abel claimed it to be an accident and not a very big deal, Kain would never drop it and continued to hold a grudge against him for it.
"Oh come on Kain...I-..." Noticing that Akita was there and it wasnt exactly a talk for just anyone to listen in on, they started bickering to each other in their German language that they both grew up with. "Sprich nicht darüber hier."
It seemed hard for Kain to hold himself back, but now that he sees that Abel wants to start a German fight, he'll gladly take him up on that offer, especially if it stopped him from fighting and putting Akita in danger. "Warum bist du gekommen? Ich habe immer noch Ihre Narbe." No one would have known what they were talking about, but Kain pointed towards himself, towards where the scar is underneath his clothes.
Abel winced a little bit and looked away, as if the conversation itself were embarrassing even though no one knew what they were talking about. "Ich weiß. Ich möchte es nachholen. Ich würde gerne Ihre Kinder zu sehen."
Lance was stuck trying to listen in on their conversation, having learned just a little bit of German himself, but their vocabulary outdid his own. He escaped over towards Akita so he wouldnt be alone by himself on the other side of the room and listen to the German heat going on. "I still want to stay here for a while...I can clean for you. I havent seen you in so long."
In the sun room, Aristocramon, occasionally, would watch Lucus lay there and do nothing. And sometimes, he would use his cane to poke at Lucus to see if he would do anything. Nothing happened, so Aristocramon quickly got bored and left, still worried for Lucus's health, but he wanted to go practice his magic some more in the mean time.

Akita sighed when the two began speaking in German, understanding that they didn't want anybody else to be involved in their matters at the moment. Once Lance had made his way over to him Akita used a hand to fix his hair slightly, "You're more than welcome to stay for awhile, I'm sure Kain won't... pretty sure.. he won't try to turn you into roadkill again." Akita laughed softly, "If he does I'll just have to cut him off from sweets for awhile." She smiled at Lance's offer, "Oh come now.. I can't have you do that all by yourself. I'll help you out if there is anything that needs cleaning."
Lucus didn't move at all no matter what Aristocramon did. He didn't care... At the moment all he wanted was just to melt into the floor itself. At least he'd had the brain to bring a pillow down on the floor with him. "Everyone is gone away.. again.." Wincing at the memory of being alone in the old house when he was younger Lucus pulled the pillow close, almost as if he was afraid that the pillow itself would up and leave.

"...VHAT?!" Kain, having heard what Akita said about the sweets, turns his attention away from Abel to make some awkward whining, puppy dog face. He had no intention of hurting Lance, he just doesnt like visitors right now. With Abel around, though, he might as well turn HIM into sizzling roadkill. Abel makes a grab for Kain's face, in an unhostile way, just to bring his attention back onto him to make things clear. "Ist das ein Angebot?" There was some sort of stare down between the two before Kain backed off away from him and into another room of the upper floor. In Kain-speak, that means he gives up, agreeing to Abel's terms...unless he does something to piss him off again.
As the long, long silence keeps Lucus in an unbothered state, Aristocramon is off elsewhere in the manor testing out his magic on a napkin, or some item that wouldnt mind being blown up into tiny pieces. Several other minutes, which felt like an hour or so, a giant snowball was throw directly at Lucus's head from the entrance of the room. It made a loud 'puff' noise on impact from the balled up ball of soft snow.

"I'm kidding Kain~" Akita smiled, his reaction was cute in it's own way. She continued to watch the brothers carefully, making sure that nothing would happen to them, or between them. "Oh?" Akita was slightly confused when Kain walked out of the room but she figured at least nothing was going to happen. "Well then.." Her attention turned to Abel since he was the brother left in the room, "Is.. everything alright?"
Lucus growled sitting up to brush the snow out of his hair, "ARIST! That was not funny in the least! Keep it up and I'll bury you so deep in the snow nobody will find you!" Hissing Lucus spun around to glare in the direction the snowball had come from.

"Ja wol. I mean... Yes, indeed." Abel straightened himself up now that Kain was no longer in the room to fight against him. Still embarrassed about that little argument they had, even if he won the argument. "I was simply just stating that I wanted to make up for the incident when my sword stabbed his chest. He still wont like me for a while, but in time... I would like to dedicate myself to watching after your children to make up for it. I traveled so very far from where I originally was, so I am in need of some place to stay, but that is merely up to you to decide whether what should happen." Lance just stood out of the conversation altogether, and tried to hide behind Akita, finishing his hot chocolate.
Another snowball dropped from the wielder's hands as it was scared out of their after being yelled at by Lucus. Well, Vempyremon thought it would be a sort-of warming welcome to cheer up the mood. She dusted off the excess snow off her hands and disappeared behind the sun room's entrance.

Akita tilter her head slightly, "Ah.. the scar he has." She smiled hearing that it wasn't really a 'serious' argument and upon hearing Abel's offer, "That is.. a wonderful offer. We still don't know how many for sure yet though, so help would be wonderful." She chuckled and ruffled Lance's hair, hiding behind her wouldn't get him very far since both of the brothers could probably easily see him. "As far as I'm concerned, you are more than welcome to stay here. I'm sure it'll help liven up the place a bit as well."
Lucus' ears perked up high seeing who it was in the doorway, "Vempyremon..? Is that really you..? Or has the snow and silence really driven me nuts..." Pushing the pillow aside Lucus got up, his foot going down on the snowball making him cringe from the cold. Shaking it off he trotted quickly across the room to the door and peered to where she would be, "Love?"

"Well, you're still very early in your pregnancy, yes? It looks like it's going to be a lot. Er, so I assume." Even if Abel hasnt been there for very long, he knew there would be a lot of younglings in need to be looked after; he could feel it. "I dont know whether I'm proud of Kain or a bit afraid that he could've been able to do something like that. Of course, I'm probably speaking out of my league. If you need anything, dont hesitate to ask." Abel didnt go very far. All he did for right now was take Lance's empty cup from him and head downstairs to put it in the sink and wash it.
Of course, there was no one in the hallway after Lucus peered outside. He might've already thought he was going crazy from loneliness by now. Until Vempyremon, having been able to climb up the side of the wall and onto the ceiling, drops down onto Lucus with arms open. A bit more harsh than Vempyremon and Aristocramon tackling him from behind in one day.

Akita laughed at Abel's comment, "Maybe a combination of the two feelings? Thank you very much though!" Once Abel had left with the glass she turned her attention back to Lance, "Was there anything else you wanted to talk about while you're here? Anything I can get you?" She realized at this rate somebody was going to come along and tell her to sit down and relax but she insisted anyways. "Or would you just like to sit for awhile?" She smiled at him petting her stomach.
Lucus felt somebody come down on him and he fell to the ground, "VEMPYREMON!" He started up at her and rubbed his head, "Ow.. You really are back!" Despite still being somewhat in shock from the impact he wrapped his arms tightly around her as if she'd been gone for years on end. "You're crazy! Where were you!? Are you alright!?" As far as he was concerned he could keep asking questions all night.

Lance was a bit confused with all the recent happenings, not exactly sure what to think about them, but he just shoves them out of his mind as if they havent happened. "No...I dont need anything, Miss Akita. You should rest. Your ankles will get swollen." Lance waited for Akita to sit down or something to take the weight off her heels. Though, while she was still standing, Lance decided for something that he wanted to do before he regretted not doing it. Slowly Lance shuffled up to Akita and knelt down a little bit to put his arms around Akita's stomach. It felt warm, to him anyway, and calmed him to some extent.
Vempyremon wasnt too harmed by the fall, as she was planning it, and having Lucus as a soft pillow to take most of the impact. She didnt say anything in relation to Lucus's question and just kept his arms around him. She didnt feel cold at all for those many long days that she's spent...somewhere, when everyone thought she was traveling by herself in the snow.

"All in good time, it's nice to up and about once and awhile, keeps my feet from falling asleep." Akita reached down to pet Lance's hair as her wrapped his arms around her stomach. It seemed that everyone was paying their respects to the unborn young ones in some way. "One day Lance. Not anytime soon of course.. But, one day.. You'll have a mate of your own. And the two of you can spoil them with everything you have.. And maybe then, you'll be able to do the same but instead, it will be your own little fuzzballs~" She couldn't help but laugh at the mental image of a group of baby noct sitting together all new to the world and fluffy.
Lucus sighed at her silence. He was just glad to have her back. He didn't care if he had to wait for answers.. if she decided to answer him at some point in time. "That.. hurt you know.." He couldn't help but chuckle before giving her a quick kiss, "Welcome home dearest. How about we get up? And now.. Only Lance needs to come home.."

Several weeks...several months even, after the past unfortunate events, things began to settle down one by one. Starting off with Vempyremon after her mysterious escape to find Abel in some distant land, then Lance who eventually ended up locking himself up in his room again, letting not a peep nor a sound out to confirm his existence.
That wasnt unusual. But this time, he was with Lanie in his room. Lance just spent his time reading books and putting together folders and folders of developing paperwork. Practice mostly. His room has never been more organized. He wouldnt speak much, but if Lanie wanted something, Lance would gladly fetch it, then go right back to his studies. He didnt make contact with many others now and kept to himself. It felt quiet...
...Yet, even after these months of settling down, Vempyremon suddenly disappeared again. Just for her own stress relief. She was nice enough to leave a note this time. But the note read that she would have returned early in the morning. It was already five past eleven.

Lucus grumbled sitting at his desk crumpling and uncrumpling the note he'd been left as he stared with a bleak expression at a new picture on his desk. One he'd unearthed while going though the remains of the manor that stood on these grounds prior to the one they lived in now. The original structure which had perished over 10 years ago in the fight between Lucus and Acheron.
Ca-Talia sighed sitting in a chair off to the side of Lucus' office. "My lord she will return and if you're going to sit there staring at that picture all day I will not hesitate to remove it and place it in a safe place out of your view."
Lucus quickly gave her a sharp look and hissed, "You will do no such thing!" Giving a harsh sigh he set the note down and replaced it with the photo which he took in his hands and stared at. Some of the edges were burnt from the flames of that night. A small and distant smile creeped across his lips. "If only to have her back... Dearest Anastasia... Vemp best get back soon before I go mad." He set the picture back down. The solid frame protecting what was left of a picture from his childhood of he and his elder sister.

There was a faint *ding* off in the distance, and the sound of footsteps heading down the halls in quick shuffles. It was Lance that passed by the doorway which was coincidentally open, nearly undressed, except for some pajama pants he had slept in. He hardly gave a look towards the two, Lucus and Ca-Talia, but spoke softly, "...Toaster pastries."
About when Lance passed, he was shoved aside, into the wall, then stumbling onto the floor. Vempyremon knocked him out of the way to get by, stumbling herself into the room, looking like she just got mauled by a wild animal. Without enough strength to stay on her feet, Vempyremon eventually falls on the ground and makes the rest of her way to Lucus by crawling.

Ca-Talia blinked at the word, "Toaster pastries...?" She jumped when Vemp came storming in, "Oh my! Um.." She really had no clue as to who was where so suddenly since she was blind afterall.
Lucus jumped up and went right to Vemp's side, "VEMPYREMON!" He'd almost knocked the picture in the sudden moment but of course, a frame was replaceable, his mate wouldn't be that easy. "What happened to you!?" He quickly picked her up and set her in his large chair.
Lanie peeked in and stared down at Lance. "Mister Lance.. you're not apposta sleep on the floor! It's morning time!" The flailed her arms at him.

Lance could hardly get a glimpse of Vempyremon before Lanie came along. He was propped up against the wall on the floor after falling and just barely moved his eyes to look at Lanie. He WAS still tired anyway, but that push pretty much woke him up. "If only that were true. What is this?" He didnt seem to show much concern, but stood back up onto his feet and looked over towards the dramatic-filled room. Of course, he was more than concerned, the hair in his face just didnt make it seem like it.
It was surely some kind of wild animal attack; her fishnet was torn with several large holes in it, along with her skirt. Her skin was also covered in scratches. But that may have been because she struggled to find her way through the forest she was in when all this happened. Before that, she was fine. Kind of... Vempyremon's eyes were blood shot. Not from the lack of sleep. From crying. And it felt so good to be safe in this 'sanctuary'. Desperately, she clung to Lucus for some sort of comfort and gripped at parts of his clothing to make sure he was real.
