[center]He moved on pure instinct then. Ryanair found himself on his feet and wrapping Clara in a hug, Kieran joining them a moment later. The blonde wasn't even sure why he'd hugged his sire's other fledgling, and truth be told he was scared out of his mind. Would she lash out? Would the small..whatever it was they'd had be broken because of the hug? [i]I'm dead. I'm a dead-dead man. Why did I even-[/i] He didn't even finish the thought before Kieran was moving away and Ryanair doing the same. The blonde looked down to the carpet and tried to swallow the fear that closed his throat, his hands reaching up to grip his shirt. “I-I-erm…” Even words failed him as he backed away away and plopped heavily on his chair, his eyes catching Keiran nearly falling on the bed. The other male's face was pale and Ryanair wasn't sure if it was due to the incident or his wounds, he really didn't want to move. Why had they done that? ~°~°~°~°~° Lye finished setting the now dry dishes in their respective places, her attention moving to where Wolff sat with Evian and Ynez. Isabella and Esther were in the living room and the silence left the Mage with nervous energy filling her body. The wolves hadn't done much aside from eating and that was a warning sign as any, Lye knew the others -aside from Clara and Christian- knew to be wary. Pushing off of the counter she made her way to Wolff’s side, her steps seeming to echo in the quiet room. Neither wolf moved from their reclined position, both seeming relaxed if for their utter stillness. Lye wasn't even sure they were breathing. “Ynez- we have to hold a ceremony-” Wolff stated with a hard edge to his voice Lye knew wasn't good, she noted his hands were clenched on his knees. Neither female moved and Lye felt the air thicken with something she couldn't place, her attention shifting when she feels a cool breeze lap at her fingers. Her eyes blinked and with little thought she released a burst of magic that had Vox’s magic faded in an instant, a soft snort snapped her attention to the ceremony-planning. Evian was slowly shifting, her form slowly rising as she sat up. Lye blinked in surprise when the werewolf shook her form out before leaving the room, Ynez still seemingly asleep on the floor. Wolff and Lye share a look when the Beta returns with a tome in her jaws and a determined set of her shoulders. Lye reached for the book and set it on the table, her eyes scanning the title before opening it. It was a book on Werewolves and the Mage found her interest grabbed. It was a silent permission to start planning and both, joined by Isabella and Esther began pouring over the pages.[/center] [@earlymorninstar]
