Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashriel sighed as they continued up the stairs. She knew that she would utterly fail at going up-or down-stairs in those crutches, so she didn't even protest being carried for such a long time. Lucian and Jennalin met them right outside the apartments-purely by dumb luck. "They threatened Jen...it seems that they've remembered her adoption." Lucian breathed at a level neither girl could hear. He ushered his sister into his apartment, looking slightly worried.

Lucian allowed Raevyn into his apartment, closing the door behind them. Ashriel looked about confused - why had they gone into Lucian's apartment? Jennalin was moving about the room quietly, getting herself situated. If one were to actually look at her closely, she had a claw mark going all the way down one arm - a relatively new one, too.

"I received a phone call from someone who somehow managed to block their phone number. They only said that they hadn't forgotten about her. I go to pick her up this afternoon, and she has the mark that traces up her arm. A bear." Lucian looked at his sister quietly, as if something could pounce out any minute. His eyes flicker between his sister and Ashriel. "She's going to stay with me until this whole thing dies down."

Lucian shook his head. "I think it is someone new. These marks are too small to have been her. Besides, the roughness...I think it was a male. Especially by how Jennalin was avoiding every single boy around while she was waiting for me. I don't know who they are...but I think it might be a group from the town over." His eyes looked over at the girls. Jennalin had taken a seat next to Ashriel. Over on the couch, they were discussing the 'glows' that Ashriel had found out about that afternoon.

Lucian nodded. "I say at least one of us is with them at all times...other than in the restroom, of course." His eyebrows rose when Jennalin appeared to be getting excited over something. He'd only heard one word or two of the conversation. "Glows?" He questioned Raevyn. Apparently it seemed that they would be needing more of an agreement than the one before. Somehow, they would have to be able to watch both at all times - which likely meant working together.

Lucian's eyes grew wide. "That explains why Jennalin is so excited." He spoke before he even though about it. When he remembered Ash's family, he remembered what Jennalin had told him the other day when he'd asked why Ash was living alone with Raevyn. "But if it was a family trait, as it usually is, and it seems to be, why did her own mother call her crazy and kick her out for having it?" He sighed, pacing. "It probably is auras." He sighed lightly. The girls had changed subjects now, and Ash's sketch of the wolf as she saw it was now across their laps.

Lucian nodded now. "Probably." He agreed, and he stopped pacing. His cell phone was vibrating, and so he answered. "Sorry mother, I've been busy. Wait- you got a call too? All the way... I've got it handled, she's staying with me. Where? Oh, shoot, I'm loosing signal. Bye." It was apparent that his mother had actually just asked him where he's living. He hung up and Jennalin was glaring at him.

"Err...Raevyn? I want to go back to the apartment-I'm tired."

Ashriel wasn't surprised this time when he lifted her- she'd been expecting it. Lucian nodded as Raevyn passed, locking the door once Ashriel and Raevyn were out. He didn't want anyone breaking in.

Once she was down on her own bed, Ash looked up at Raevyn. "I wish I could've defended myself from that wolf...you know, Jen defended herself in her fight - she scared them away somehow. She wouldn't tell me how, though..." She told Raevyn. Her fingers went down her braid softly, and she looked around her room. A small grumble could be heard coming from her stomach, and she looked to Raevyn again.

Ashriel grinned now, looking at him in answer. "Food." She responded, excited that Raevyn would try and tell her things that may help. That way, if they got separated for one reason or another, she could defend herself.
