"Tinanaia..." Lucas said, trying to snap her out of her dreamstate. "Nani!" He finally said a bit more forcefully. Moving over he rested his free hand on her shoulder. "I hope your family will like me..."

Startled, Tinania drops the orange into the soapy water. Looking towards Lucas she nods before she looks back towards the sink "I'm sure they will Lucas..." she still hadn't heard him fully. Her eyes fell close as her grip on they sink tighten until her knuckles were white.
Seiji frowns as he looks at the two grown ups. Shaking his head she reaches up tugging on Lucas's hair. It was a different color to his, he could tell that much.

Lucas shook his head slowly and wincing a bit as his hair was pulled he leaned forwards, kissing tinania softly on the back of the head. "I hope they'll accept me... I really hope I come off as a decent boyfriend..." He spoke loud enough for her to hear. "But if you don't want me to meet them I'll understand."
Frankly he'd wanted Tinania to stay. But his superiors had said no.

Tinania turns before she looks up at him, blinking she looks back down "When do we have to leave?" she didn't speak anyone on him saying boyfriend. All she knew was that once she left, she might not be coming back. Holding her hands out towards Seiji she attempts to smile and remain calm for him. Inside she was a wreck, and that scared her more then anything.
Seiji blinks before he looks between the two. Shaking his head, he holds tighter to Lucas. He didn't like at all how his mother was acting.

Lucas frowned at Tinanaia when she turned, and holding Seiji close he shook his head. "Let's talk..." He said, stepping back and heading to the couch, sitting down so she had room to look at him.
"Tell me what is on your mind..."
He was worried, she was acting very strange, and Seiji wasn't the only one who say it.

Tinania looks over both Seiji, then Lucas. Shaking her head she turns away from them both "I'm going to go gather my things." turning towards the bedroom, she slips intot he room only to close it behind her. Leaning against the door she shut her eyes. She didn't have a good excuse to stay, her wings were healed. The snow was clearing from what she knew, after all they were allowing her to leave. Shaking her head she pushes away from the door as she slips over to lay on the bed. Hiding her face her body shook alittle.
Seiji frowns before he looks at Lucas. Poking him in the chest he crosses his arm. he was mad at his mother for stepping away from them both. Plus he wanted to play.

Lucas sighed and looked down at Seiji. "Should we go see if mommy is okay?" He asked, bouncing the boy in his lap, the seemingly natural thing to do. Sighing he looked up at his door and shook his head, wondering if he'd made a mistake to tell her.
They would have to leave New Haven eventually he knew... He couldn't let Seiji be raised here... Not with the threat of a raid every day... He just couldn't in good conciseness's let either of them stay and get hurt... or worse... killed.
He would leave, he knew. He was going to resign... There was no other way around it. He was going to be turning his back on Free Haven forever...
But it was his future... His destiny... Where this woman would lead him... He didn't know, but he knew it was out of here.

Tinania wipes at her eyes before she pushes off the bed. Grabbing her iPod she turns the music up to max as she grabs her messager bag. Pulling her wand from it, she aims it towards the clothes she had gathered here. She didn't speak as a spark leaves her wand hitting her clothes. As the clothes shrunk, she turns glancing around the room. Froning she looks at her sketch book.
Picking it up, she flips to the last page. She had long since finished it, only up in the top, she added herself into the picture. Pulling it from the book, she place it on the nightstand next to their bed. Looking around again, she shakes her head before she breaths. She wouldn't allow either of them to see how much this got to her. She knew it would happen sooner or later.
Turning she walks back towards the door pulling it open. Stepping out, a smile forms on her lips as she push her hair from her face "I'm all packed, I'll pack Seiji's stuff later. I'm thinking we can set out tomorrow morning? At any rate we will be back at my home by noon, then you'll be able to get back here by nightfall." turning away she heads back towards the kitchen to prepare a meal for them all.
Seiji frowns before he lays his head on Lucas's shoulder again. He could feel his mother's sadness. And that seem to upset him, turning his head he hid his face.

"I won't be coming back..." Lucas said, looking at her, his eyes slightly aflame. Looking down at Seiji he frowned. "Also, we won't be able to go the way you've come... We'll have to go the long way... Through Fair Haven... There is some last threads I have to tie up there..." He looked back up at her. "Also, it'll give the passes time to clear of snow fully, so the trip will be safe for you and Seiji. I can make it easile, but then I don't worry about attracting the Wild Ones..."
Standing slowly he shushed the child in his arms as it started to fuss. Looking at Tinania he smiled a little. "I think you'd like Fair Haven... There are a lot of Elves there..." Shaking his head a little he looked up at the roof, still holding Seiji close. "It'll take us a few days... No later than next Friday."

Tinania turns looking at Lucas, her eyes widen alittle before she shakes her head "You are coming back Lucas, this is your home. You can't just leave this place." she didn't understand why she was trying to push him away, but part of her knew why. She didn't want to get hurt again, so now she was pushing away anyone she thought could do that. Lucas was the closest at this point.
Seiji calm down alittle, the only thing that would hive away that he didn't like what was going on was his wings. They kept moving slowly, showing that he seem unsure as to what was going on.

Lucas shook his head. "No, this isn't my home... It never was... I've lived here, but I would not call it home." bouncing Seiji a little more he sighs looking at Tinania. "If you don't want me to stay with you... I guess... I don't know..."
He thought he could say he understood, but he didn't... He knew he had feelings for her... But maybe he'd been gone for so long she'd forgotten them.
Looking down at Seiji, he wondered absently if this child would grow up to call him father... or if he would be a face it dimly remembered...

Tinania sighs as she shakes her head, turning away she looks down at the sink before she turns grabbing her coat "I need to go get something for dinner." pulling her coat on, she didn't looks at Lucas. She couldn't, just because she knew she start crying.
Glancing up at Lucas, Seiji lifts his small claw hand, lightly tapping Lucas's on the nose. With a small smile he lays his head back down. He was already growing use to him being there with Lucas.

Lucas frowned as she started to leave. "Do you want me and Seiji to come with you?" He asked, chewing his bottom lip. He was really worried about her, she was pushing him away... and he didn't like it...

Tinania looks back towards him before she looks away "No I mean...I don't know." placing her hand on the door knob, she turns it then pulls the door open.
Seiji reaches out towards his mother before he pout. Drossing his arms he looks back up towards Lucas. He was hoping he wouldn't allow her to leave.

Lucas frowned and placing Seiji down on the couch gently, he turned, and growling a bit he moved to Tinania, grabbing her shoulder he spun her around and grabbing her shoulders, pushed her against the door, forcing it shut. He kept her pinned against the wall like this while he spoke.
"What's wrong? You can tell me, I think we've shared enough of ourselves for you to be honest with me... What is it? Was I gone too long? I'm sorry if I was, but I had a responisbility to the people here, but I have put that aside, I have told them, since they are letting you go, that I have no reason to stay here... There is no bad blood, my kind... We bastards... We're transient... There is no place in this world for us... Even Free Haven... They know who my father is, they know that I come from highborn stock... They say they don't care but I know how they look at me..." Looking away from her a moment he took a deep breath. "Why do you think I hadn't really had a woman in this house before you Tinania? They wouldn't have me, none would, even if I could have brought myself to care about them half of what I feel for you, they would not have given me the time of day. I am not one of them, and they know it... So it is time for me to go... You understand me... You're the only person who has ever understood me... I had hoped, that maybe... I could come to share things with you, my life... But..." Taking a deep breath he turned his gaze back on her.
"I will be leaving with you if you walk out that door, and Seiji will be coming with us... We will smile, we will be happy... Because if we can't, is there really any hope left in the world? Is there anything worth saving if you can't be made happy after all that has gone on... Look at him!" He moved her with him, keeping her at his side as he pointed to the child on the couch. "Look at him! He wants you, can't you see that? I want you! We want you in our lives! See! Look! Open your eyes Tinania! Please..."
He kept his hand warped around her arm, and looked at her, watched her. "Please Tinania... it's time for us to close the chapter of our meeting, and move on to the knowing, and the growing... Maybe things will work out... Maybe they won't... But I am done with Free Haven... I want to go where you are."
