Welcome to Gaia! ::

((sometime jump thing given I can't figure out anything else to reply with...x.x;; ))

Julianna floated downstairs with a happy little smile on her face. She hummed a soft little song, oblivious to everything around her as she floated to the kitchen for a cold drink. She had clipped her pretty blue hair back and with her naturally blue hair, she looked like a typical teenager who had altered her hair color just to get under her parents skin.

Asher, who had been seated in the living room with a sleeping Raven who's head was in his lap, watched his oldest with a raised eyebrow, wondering what had sparked this mood. He knew Julie was always a happy little thing, but he hadn't realized exactly how happy she just became until now.

He stopped stroking Raven's hair while he listened to Julie getting a glass and a drink. "Peu un.. qu'est-ce qui vous a rendus si heureux, peu d'amour ?" (what has made you so happy, little love?) He requested, softly but knowing he would be heard regardless.

"Rien, père. Rien du tout." She replied softly and rather dreamily, taking a sip of her drink before floating to head back upstairs, with a little pink tinting her cheeks. (Nothing, father. Nothing at all.)

"Don't lie, Peu un." He said sternly, shifting his blue gaze to his daughter's own blue gaze.

She smiled sweetly to him and sighed softly. "I suppose if you must know..."

"Oui je dois savoir, Julianna." (Yes I must know, Julianna. ) Asher frowned at his daughter. What made her think he wouldn't want to know?

Julianna smiled and leaned on the railing as she daydreamed about the certain young pirate, already in the process of explaining him to her father who was shifting rather uncomfortably in his seat. She finished off with a tiny sigh.

Asher blinked, realizing how much he wasn't liking this. She was considered nobility despite how he lived and everything but she was in crushing on a pirate. Old habits died hard in this vampire and despite adjusting to the modern era, he still held onto traditional ways...so to him the pirate being at sea was a good thing...

Oh dear was right as Asher moved from his seat to escort his daughter away from sight, though with Jay picking up on the gifts of being a human servant, Asher was certain he wouldn't get far. Julianna was a little surprised to being escorted from the room and wondered if she'd done something wrong.

The vampire settled the corsea down outside, and fidgeted with his hair a moment, his face going into a blank mask, that same mask he used when he really didn't want to deal with something. He didn't want his little girl's heart broken and he knew what the sea life was like....apparently he himself had been either a pirate or was a ship merchant or was familiar with them from his childhood.

He caressed his daughter's face, really studying her for the first time since she had grown into a corsea form. He had made several mistakes over his several lifetimes and he was sure he was about to make another but he wanted to keep her safe.

"Julianna..." He paused not sure how he wanted to talk to her. He wanted Raven to do so. It was easier. It was a female thing not a male thing...but Julianna was his corsea. He admired her pixie like wings and her blue eyes. He noticed her eyes were almost like his in color and tint except hers looked more periwinkle then blue...like a baby lavender...She was all soft colors and quite beautiful and he felt his heart ache, if it could despite the blood that made him a bit cold to the touch.

Julie sat, waiting patiently. She even fixed the barette in her hair while sh waited for him to speak.

Asher had remained standing, old school and old world training taking place. He rubbed his temple a little. Sighing and deciding to stop beating around the bush, he just spoke, knowing she would be mad at him for it.

"Julianna. ..I ne veut pas que vous le voyant. ..not à comme un amant." (Julianna...I don't want you seeing him...not at as a lover.) He spoked softly, trying to keep his tone and face blank and free of emotion.

Julie's face shifted from dreamy to a look of where she was in shock of sorts. She didn't understand why she couldn't.

"Pourquoi ne pouvoir pas je ? Il n'est pas comme les autres au tribunal. ..He n'ennuie pas. ...Why ne peut pas je ?" (Why can't I? He isn't like the others at court...He isn't boring....Why can't I?) She asked, sounding like she was on the verge of tears. Tears hadn't even come close to her eyes yet.


A boy had run in from the docks, and was finding their address and pounding on the door. He looked like he could have been a cabin boy rather then just a boy who could deliever messages.

Raven woke up to answer the door. She was barely awake as she opened the door, muttering a small hello. The boy smiled sweetly. "A message for Miss Julianna." He handed the message to her and zipped off after Raven gave him a dollar fifty for his trouble. She didn't recongize the seal but didn't want to intrude. She scuttled through the house to give the message to Julie. "It's for you, sweety." With that she walked back to the couch to grab the rest of her nap.


Julianna blinked at the letter, and opened it up, ignoring her father as she read.

"Dear Julianna,

I enjoyed our walk today. It was nice to have such refined company compared to what I am use to. I was hoping you'd be at the docks tomorrow to see me off on our journey. To see your lovely face before heading off into the dangerous sea would make me very happy. I hope this letter finds you well and I will attempt to write again while I am out a sea. Perhaps should I come across some treasure, I will send you something that glitters.

Your rogue at sea,

R"

She squealed softly as she read the letter and held it to her, nipping at her lower lip a little. She was already darting away from the bench to go prep herself for meeting him at the docks.

Asher reached out to grab her, latching onto her wrist and pulling her back. "Julianna! I forbid this." It was the first time he ever remembered raising his voice towards her, his precious girl.

Julie stared up at him, shock and fury mixed together. She pulled her hand back, clutching the letter and scowled. "Why can't I see him, Père?" She demanded, seeking a reply to her request.

He frowned. "You don't know him for one and I don't want you hurt...He's a pirate. He's a thief in more ways then one." He may not have been the perfect father but that didn't mean he couldn't strive to protect what was his...

Julie just huffed and flew back inside the house to lock herself in her room. She tucked her prized letter under her pillow before she moved for the window and peered out of it. She unlatched it to escape the house, determined to see her pirate friend/crush before he was to be gone for months on a ship. With only a little bit of trouble, she managed to get out of room and was on her way....

Dyvim quietly followed her from being outside, the dragon corsea being the protective big brother wanted to know where she was going.


Asher was left feeling rather dumbfounded. He had expected her to obey him, not retreat. Almost with rage he followed after her, moving swiftly up the stairs, the only moving thing being his hair as it gave glimpses to the scars beneath the golen mane. He went to Julie's door and pounded on it. "Julianna, open the door..."

((Letter - Bya))

((I have no idea how it looks so I'm going off the top of my head))

Julianna made it to the sands of the land that would surround the docks. Her ribbons barely touched the ground as she raced forward, catching sight of someone standing near ships. She hoped it was Raguel and dashed to see if it was.

Dyvim, who was only just a little faster, continued to follow her before he too saw and grabbed her. "Julianna...." He whispered in a slight harsh tone.

Julie yelped when she was grabbed and whirled to strike before finding out it was Dyvim Tvar who had caught her. "Let me go...I have to see him..."

"Why?" He asked, not releasing her to go make a fool of herself. He had examples of love from Jay and Asher and Raven...he was certain it wasn't love she was experiencing.

Julie fussed and tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp but alas a dragon was stronger then a fairy and barely sweated in holding her. "I have to see him...before he leaves for the sea..."

Dyvim frowned. "He's not for you, Julia..." He murmured.

A small growl of warning issued from Dyvim as he glared at the pirate.

"What right do you have to my sister?" He still hadn't let go...

Julianna glanced up to what she thought to be her pirate. "Raguel..."

Dyvim glanced to Julie. "He's not for you Julianna..."

Dyvim growled again.

"Fine but if you break her heart you can deal with her tears...I tried warning her and so did Asher."

Julie tugged her hand free, to which Dyvim released reluctantly.

"Perhaps it will be a good thing you leave..." He whispered harshly.

Julie slapped Dyvim who just stared at her, anger but hurt staring back at her. She darted back behind Raguel, suddenly just wanting on ship.

Dyvim touched his cheek gently, hissing softly at the sting before glaring at Raguel, finding that to be his fault. "If she won't listen to us, then she'll listen to you..."

She barely relaxed when she was guided away and she curled up more into him. Like any teenager, she mistook a crush for love and didn't want to obey daddy on such a topic, especially a father who was well adept in the department.

She nipped at her lip and adjusted her sleeves.

Dyvim watched his sister but didn't move from he was but crossed his arms, sulking from her slap. He wasn't going to let the pirate do anything else....not while he was watching.

She wasn't sure how she wanted to admit anything to him, not after her father and so called brother telling her no. Of course, she wasn't thinking clearly that day.

"I just got your letter and couldn't wait..." She looked down for a moment, studying her fingertips. She wanted to admit she liked him but rather then say anything she just looked back up and stole a kiss from him.

Dyvim just stared wide eyed...yet he didn't move... If she slapped him again for interfering, he would worse and simply stayed where he was, hoping the pirate knew what he was doing...

"But - " before she could finish what she wanted to say, Dyvim was already touching her shoulder. She looked up to him, frowning. She didn't want him to go...

Dyvim shook his head. "A pirate will always love the sea before anything else."

Julie just hung her head, curling up and holding onto her ribbons. She wished for a lot of things in that one minute....
