[IC] Blood of Two Worlds

[Jazz]

Damien could see the tension Dante was showing. Thinking about what he could do to help, realizing there was only one way he could think of. So Damien took Dante's hand without thinking and brought Dante to sit on the floor, sitting close infront of him. "Lean against me and close your eyes. After focus on my voice than on my breathing and heart beat." He instructs calmly.

Alex nods as she stands up. "I believe so sir."

"From what I understand you weren't feeling good from the blood rejection and needed rest." Vincent explains.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante almost fell when Damien took his hand but did as he said and leaned forward into him, closing his eyes to focus. He could hear Damien’s blood flowing but that was normal for Dante given his gifts.

Grant nodded and turned “I will make sure she returns to her loved ones…please make sure we don’t lose anymore of us to this Discord…”

Ana sighed and said “right…I’ll need to feed again…that vision of what happened hit me harder then before…have I missed anything?”

[Jazz]

Damien smiles as Dante seemed to do as instructed. "Good. Listen and breathe with me." Continuing the calm demeanor. He even emphasized his breathing so Dante could follow along. "Breathe in.....breathe out....." He whispers, continuing the motions till he could see signs of Dante calming down should this help.

Alex straightened her posture and saluted. "Yes sir." She then leaves with her men as they check the rest of the castle and outside for any more clues.

"Dante and Damien went to talk to Lord Grant but he is no longer here. So my guess is they are still in the dining hall." Vincent reports.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante followed his breathing as best he could and after a time his shaking stopped and he sighed. “Thanks Damien…I haven’t been that upset in a long time…”

Grant sighed and said “I don’t want to lose more to this…monster…I might have to swallow my pride…” he looked at his wrist, a watch there with a broken face.

Ana nodded and said “Dante will be boiling…dealing with the lord alone…”

[Jazz]

Damien hummed in reply but continued to breathe a little longer till he could sense Dante calm once more. "It's alright. It's understandable."

Vincent shrugged. "Maybe but I don't think so. Damien is with him. Maybe even Duke Vale."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante opened his eyes and looked at Damien. “How did you know how to calm me? Only Ana has been able to before…and it’s normally her singing that does it…”

Ana smiled and said “I hope so…where is Lady Alex?” She tried to get up, her arms shaking.

[Jazz]

"I didn't. It's a breathing exercise my mother used for me when I first shifted and freaked out. Then times I was learning to control my emotions for shifting.

"She went to check on the progress of finding the boy. She had just told me of their success and taking him to the hospital. However there was one more captive. A human girl. She's shaken but seems alright."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante smiled softly and said “thank you…sorry for blowing up in there…he always gotten the raw side of me…”

Ana stared at him and said “a human? I need to see her right now. Please help me to her”

[Jazz]

"I see. You're brother told me you were trying avoid a fight. I understand that from what I witnessed that Lord Grant seems to have that aura about him." Damien reaches over to the window sill and brings the plate to infront of Dante. "Here. You hadn't touched anything and need the energy."

Vincent's eye brows rose in surprise. "But Lady Shade, you need rest. You even said you need to feed again. We wouldn't wanting you passing out again."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante sighed and smiled taking the plate. “Thanks…ya, I can’t take him head on. And he knows it. But still he knows how I care for Lady Ana and yet he can’t stop pushing it…” he picked up a slice of bacon and said “I don’t know how to clear her name…”

Ana shook her head and said “I have to make sure the child wasn’t…infected…”

[Jazz]

Damien crossed his legs to where Dante's rested atop of his ankles. "We may not be able to but can help be the evidence to her case at every turn. Your brother gave me an idea to give further advantage to Ana's cause. Ask Lady Alexandria and Mr. Vincent to come with us. I told him I would give it some thought but figured to share it with you." He confesses, his hands propping him up where he sat.

He didn't want to make Dante feel awkward by leaning on him while he ate. He decided to resist his wolves want for attention and to comfort. To remind him that Dante might not understand a wolf's mindset.

Vincent sighed. "I'll call lady Alex. See if she can take us there. Till her arrival, let me find you some clothes so you may be presentable." He then stands while setting the book aside to head to the closet to find Ana some clothes.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante ate slowly, actually leaning into his touch a bit as he said “it’s a good idea…it would give Ana more help and more eyes to the truth…especially if they see hints and things we are missing…” he sighed and rubbed his neck. “We should ask her…but I agree with you on it…”

Ana looked down to see she was still in the nightgown and sat back down. “That’s…a good idea…” she saw the book and asked “is it a good read? Your book”

[Jazz]

Damien just relaxed where he was while Dante relaxed into him and ate his breakfast. "I have a feeling she may not want them to. But I could be wrong."

Vincent pulled out a couple bags. One with One outfit each. "Here. These look to have been left for you with your name on it." Vincent sets them beside her on the bed.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante glanced back and asked “why do you think that? She’s not against having others around. But she just never gets asked…I guess I’m the only one whose wanted to…I remember she was stunned when I asked her from my hospital bed…”

Ana opened it and smiled softly “Duke Vale…he remembered” she pulled out the purple and silver outfit and moved to change behind the screen. “Have you heard from Alex?”

[Jazz]

Damien shrugged. "Probably just thinking of the possibility. But i see your point." He comments looking up at the ceiling in thought.

Vincent steps over to the door and waits patiently. "I have. She is on her way and has her men standing by to guard her while she is being treated for her injuries."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante glanced back at him again, his plate bare. “Damien…umm is it okay I’m sitting on your lap? I didn’t even think about it”

Ana pushed the shade out of the way in a panic her eyes wide. “Injuries! Alex was hurt?! We must go to her right now!” She almost flew to the door and opened it in a rush, misstepping as she did and almost falling over.

[Jazz]

Damien hummed in question then recalled the question. "I don't see why not. Your comfortable, I'm comfortable. For me, this is normal for my kind. We long for a pack and the company of that pack. There are the rare lone wolves that perfer solitude." He explains to Dante.

Vincent went to stop Ana realizing he didn't phrase his sentence right. He noticed her mis step and as he ran scooped her up as he caught her. "It was not Alex. It was the little girl and the boy."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante blinked and said “I didn’t know that…that…I do like this. Vampires aren’t a touchy kind but I like this…I feel safe you know?”

Ana looked at him and sighed softly “oh…thank heavens…that she wasn’t hurt…sorry I should have asked…” she looked up at him, feeling his arms around her. “Thank you Vincent…”

[Jazz]

He smiles and nods as a soft blush on his cheeks. "Good to know. I'm here if you need any comfort." He proclaims with small grin.

Vincent helps Ana stand again before reaching for a blood bag. It's a vampires blood that was willing to spare some blood should you need it. It was one of our men." He offers.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante blushed himself and turned his head as his face got hot. “I didn’t mean that in a way of…darn it all…” he lowered his head and said “I didn’t mean to make it sound uncomfortable…I’m sorry…”

Ana took it and said “thank you…I feel uncomfortable asking for others to let me drink from them…it feels like…i can’t really explain it…” she opened the bag and said “let us find Lady Alex…”
