Trust was not an easy thing to give when it was already broken before. Cervus sat in the fireplace and waited for the Vampires' reply alongside Ursa. Out of the five of them all, Theodore did not spare a glance whatsoever at his group and tried to give a reply. "–Let's stay here then." Lukas quickly said. Theodore shot him a look alongside with the rest–but it was mostly clear from the group that it was only the assassin that didn't look happy with it. Chaerin smiled a little while Alexei simply…-

If there was anyone who might have actually looked for the good of other people more–it was Chaerin, not Lukas. Lukas didn't think that there was anything wrong with himself, but neither did he think that there was something wrong with Chaerin's perspective. But while Lukas still had thoughts about hope–Chaerin tried to trust in it. Maybe it was one of the reasons why she liked him? "Now's not really the time." Lukas silently chided himself. It didn't make any sense, but not as much as the sight…

How long was it possible for one to bear a grudge? Forever and even a day more–it felt like that. It was incredibly easy to hold onto rage and anger, to remember only the bad and the terrible and then when its own hold started to wane… to rekindle it again. Cervus of the Veil Forest lived most of his life trapped in the mists. It coalesced around him and choked him, it reminded him everyday of what he had lost. Of what was taken away from him. Something like this would have been enough fuel…

Lukas glared at Cervus from the distance–he had nearly hit Chaerin. And for a moment, that dark look was enough to send a shiver down Cervus' spine. He didn't really get what was fearsome about Vampires in the past, but somehow, a random Vampire was able to do just that. However, as much as Lukas wanted to stare down the 'Great Leader of the Forest'--it would go against his plan. "Is everything working like you wanted to?" Rhea glanced at the arrows on the Dryad and at Cervus' group. "Don't jinx…

Lukas wanted to laugh. His body was no longer injured enough so it wouldn't hurt, but that didn't make things any less painful as he saw the ongoing fight beyond him. They were outclassed. They might have outnumbered the Dryad, but she was in her natural habitat. The signs of struggle were obvious, the only fortunate thing out of this situation was the fact that the Dryad was unused to using her powers. It seemed to be the first time that she actually stepped out to fight, but she was gradually…

In the face of your own mistakes, failures and stupidity… What was the only option to do? Was it to despair? Was it to grieve? Was it to fall to your knees, seize your head and wish it was possible to dig your nails through your head to see if there was actually something inside of it? For Lukas, the only option was to smile and grin. When the world showed you your mistakes and taunted you with it–you only responded to it with a smile that revealed not invulnerability, but just plain…

"Do you think it'll work?" Ursa narrowed her gaze and saw Lukas' body in the distance. It was plopped neatly against the tree and he seemed fast asleep. "... For one reason or another, he has earned the trust of several notable individuals in our city," Theodore frowned as he backed away into the trees. "I personally do not understand why they do–but there has to be a reason for it. Something that I myself don't comprehend." "And you?" Ursa turned to Chaerin. "You trust him because you and him…

Immortals. One could say that Lukas and Rhea were looking at someone who could be classed as that. And even the Sanguise House Ancestor seemed like a child when compared to the age upon ages that she had lived. "Crap." Rhea was the one who shrunk away back at first. Lukas managed to realize that a Dream Eater was in his dream, but it was still nothing compared to what appeared as a memory suddenly looking you in the eye. It was as if the past Dryad also saw that she was being observed. And if even…

There were weaknesses to exploit and Rhea knew that she could have used them. It was true that she was bound by blood to a Vampire, but she was still a spirit-type entity and even if it meant losing a portion of herself–she could have escaped. Weakened and forgetting an essential part of herself, yes, but still free. And so the reason why she stayed, and the reason why she had not left the young Vampire to be consumed by the very dreams that he wanted to see for himself was simple. "W-what…

"W-wait, what?!" Rhea said. "Are you out of your mind–?!" It didn't make any sense to trust someone intrinsically. That was the kind of life that Lukas lived and he couldn't help but grin at the alarm in the Dream Eater's voice–she was stunned. Somehow it made the sting in his hand somehow worth it. There was no dagger in his hands to ruin his palm any further, the bleeding was going to stop any moment now but as he clutched the crystal and it cracked, his own blood seeped into the stone. Which…
