#cause here

     Lady, Lord- Honestly it was not a title of choice. Standing in place, silver and pale blue silks adorning sharp shoulders, she was something to be seen in the massive hall, both an eerily stunning and yet intimidating sight.

     And it was a blank stare that met the men, many both creature and humanoid alike, and only a flicker of a change at the sight of the caged being. Green hues, a gold many did not realize usually webbed the irises long since lacking. Eventually a faint irritation showed in her voice, and those nearest her quickly turned back to their ‘activities’ to play dumb.

     “My quarters, now.” The main guard earned pause, never able to tell what would please the celestial, and what would not. But the delivery was made slowly, with her following behind, dark marked hands clasped behind her back.

You want feelings? here - have them. 

The eldest member of the family looks up at the stranger, and sighs at the very pointed question. He can’t begin to deny it, nor can be begin to argue. He was a terrible father, in truth - unworthy of the gift that Suzanne had given to him, but in the end he can’t change the past. 

“My son is a special case.” He begins, as he tidies the papers on his desk. “Luke was to be ‘The Scion of Lorelei’ so I honestly didn’t want to allow myself to get close to him. My son was born only to die and because of that, I selfishly closed off my heart to him. When the time came, that he was taken from us - I was devastated. I didn’t know what to do, or how I could possibly ever console Suzanne, but I knew he wouldn’t be killed - there wasn’t a possible way for that to happen considering his role in The Score.” 

His weight shifts in his chair, and he sighs as he leans against his hand. “ But that was when it all changed. Luke was never returned to us, we were given a replica in his place, and despite that fact I still loved him. I couldn’t understand it at the time, why my son was suddenly nothing more than a baby trapped in a child’s body but he was still my son regardless. I was selfish. I should have held him when I wanted to. I should have wiped his tears from his eyes when he cried. I should have been there for him when he needed me - but again you can’t change the past.”
