      ❛ tanya. ❜      he spoke with a soft voice, as his smile widened as he saw her. of course, he and the denali coven spent so much time together over the years, that carlisle ---and he was sure, his children did too--- he saw them as family.       ❛ oh this... a tomography from a patien from icu. not the best outcome, given the circumstances. ❜       his smile was softly disappearing as he spoke of the patient from the tomography, as his gaze returned from the blonde to the material, and then back at her. 

      it’s been years since the last encounter with the volturi---- though not as many as he would’ve hoped, for the sake of his family’s peace.      ❛ well, it’s true, there have been lots of deaths recently. this poor man’s, for example. ❜      he pointed at the tomography.     ❛ i believe attempting to solve this on our own before we hear from the guard is the best we can do for now. ❜      

     it never had a point to try and hide information from edward--- and he didn’t want to. he was his first adoptive son after all, the one, except for esme, who probably knew him better than anyone. he nodded once. trying to invent an explanation for corpses left by nomads wasn’t exactly new to him--- but that didn’t make it less unpleasant.     ❛ another day at work. not exactly my favorite part of it. ❜      he explained.

     he understood what he was being asked for. he would often ---as often as a vampire had to--- write those records for his own children, everytime they had to move from town to town. he would also do so for others of his kind, such as the denali coven. he stood from his chair and walked towards the door, closing it so no one would disturb them. then he turned towards her.       ❛ when were you turned into a vampire? ❜      

     the smile was returned to the female vampire, letting his enthusiasm to find vampires who seemed to share the lifestyle he carried for centuries.     ❛ i know. it’s as rare as it is wonderful to find someone with this lifestyle within our kind. ❜       he had to admit, it really made him happy to discover new vampires who, somehow, shared the respect for human kind.     ❛ are you new to these lands? ❜      

      a presence such as caius’, one of the main heads of the volturi, a man to whom  he once, many years ago, could’ve considered a colleague, perhaps, which was now very far from his new reality due to the lack of empathy he found within them towards human beings. however, now, he tried his best to remain calm, only standing from his chair to greet him--- as he would greet an old acquaintance.      ❛ caius. what a pleasant surprise. definitely wasn’t expecting your visit. ❜      pleasant would definitely be far from reality, however, disrespecting them could also mean the end of his existence in this word. not exactly part of his plans.     ❛ may i ask why you’re visiting us today? ❜      

     ❛ as a doctor, you should know I don’t approve of that. ❜     the golden-eyed vampire said, then he widened his smile, as usual as when he was around his family.     ❛ luckily, as a grandfather, i might as well let you eat all the candies you wish. ❜      he admitted, shrugging as he sat back into the couch.     ❛ just be careful for cavities. ❜      

     ❛ even if you couldn’t, that wouldn’t stop you, my dear. ❜     the doctor returned the joke, a bright smile appearing onto his face.     ❛ a tomography. hemorrhagic stroke. ❜     he replied, as a simple answer. if he finds something to worry about, he would let his family know in the first place. that’d be for sure.    ❛ of course. talk to me. i’ll try my best to have the answer. ❜    

      an eyebrow was raised at the sight of the woman in front of him. after pressing a button to turn off his computer, to give her the full attention.     ❛ why yes, that would be me. ❜    he replied, beginning to wonder which was the reason that brought her to such a place as the hospital--- whether or not was his working place.     ❛ how can i help you? ❜    

      a pair of golden eyes fixed themselves into the woman who was looking for him, his smile widening.    ❛ that would be me. doctor carlisle cullen. ❜    the blonde vampire extended his arm towards her as a greet, easily recognizing the familiar colour of her eyes, it wasn’t exactly common to find unfamiliar faces living surrounded by humans anymore.    ❛ pleased to meet you. ❜    

     a concerned carlisle analyzed the tomography taken to one of his patiens from ICU, which evidenced the strange nature of the injury. certainly in his hundreds of years being a physician, injuries weren’t unfamiliar to him. an hemorrhagic stroke, he’d seen millions, literally. the supernatural origin of this one, however, was one more to be covered by him, another false explanation to give. a warm smile came upon his face as the other being entered his office.        ❛ well, hello--- is there anything i can help you with? ❜      he asked, kindness reflected in his voicetone.
