-Connor- Connor was stricken by how vehemently Rose reacted to the concept of coming to the nest, he had always just assumed she stayed away of her own volition, plenty of vamps did, but beyond that it was the not feeling welcome part that got to him. He kind of got where she was coming from being a half blood and all, but he was a half blood too, and the D'finn had never been anything but kind to him... at least their brand of kindness. Which come to think of it, did come with a lot of aggression. Their kindness was actually kind of akin to a nest of hungry vipers savagely fighting over a rodent, and that was on the good days. So maybe it made sense she felt unwelcome, he was about to make a counter remark when the door opened to Roland and Kira walking in. Wait a minuet. Kira was back? -Roland- "Rosie! Connor!" Roland tried to defuse what was obviously some tension between the two of them with warm hellos, "You guys remember Kira right?" Roland asked with a grin, "The pup is back from Ireland." "Kira, I didn't know you were back. And great Roland, perfect timing," Connor took the opportunity, to try and get Roland on his side, plus since both his parents were at the council meeting right now chances were he would find out all of this information at some point, either later tonight, or tomorrow. "I just got a call from my Uncle, asking me to head over to the D'finn nest. The council thinks someone is specifically targeting the D'finn vampires. Apparently two days ago a D'finn branch family's mother came to my Uncle, to report to him that her son had gone missing. Uncle Mike thought we could handle it in house, but now it looks less like a run away, more like a specific act against the bloodline as a whole, so he wants me to take her to the station to give an official report to the police." After he finished almost as an afterthought he turned to Rose, "Hence why I don't feel comfortable leaving you here all on your own, if someone is targeting D'finn's you might be on the chopping block with the rest of us." "Wait, wait, hold up a minuet," Roland said holding his hands up and shaking his head lightly, "Let me get this straight, the D'finn's were going to just not report a missing child?" He finished the statement with emphasis on the last word. "Well in our defense he only really looks like a kid. He is full blooded, a true born vampire, so technically he's in his mid thirties, its actually a bit creepy, but parents are weird with vampire kids, and since they still look like kids it's hard for some of them to reconcile that they're full grown, so children is a loose term. Technically her son is older than we are, so Uncle Mike was gonna deal with it internally. The way he figured it odds were with the overbearing mother the guy might have just run off for some peace and quiet, I mean by human standards the guy is a full grown adult, he just really doesn't look like it." Connor finished the explanation then chuckled, "Thank the gods that that particular trait doesn't hold true for half breeds, eh?" "We are getting distrated from the point here, there is now a missing D'finn, and a dead D'finn. It's starting to look more like a pattern than before, and I definitely agree, neither of you should be going anywhere all on your own, so I guess we will just have to accompany the both of you to the nest." Roland said with a note of finality to his voice.
