Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Villa
Interaction: Jaehwa Kipsy , Xiulan scorpiodragon

Leading the way towards the villa and inside it, she began rolling up her sleeves cautiously as she cast glances towards the young babe. She wasn’t sure if she was purely appalled or just unsure of how to handle the emotions she got as he explained his findings. Silvia ended up digging her nails into the palm of her hand as he brought up the fact that the baby was abandoned and practically buried in the sand. Her cheeks puffed out in a form of frustration before looking around, “Sponge bath? Yeah but what will really help is if we get a sink ready,” she observed rushing towards the kitchen. Truth be told she didn’t have much thought towards using any other sink just the one closest to them for the baby to get cleaned up properly to be examined.

Clearing her throat she cast a concerned glance to the baby before she managed to reach the sink. “I can’t believe a parent would just—leave their child,” she couldn’t imagine what she would do if her or any of her siblings were left behind on the beach. The pale haired female soon turned the water on, the sink was unused and clean so she ran the water over her fingers. Testing the temperature of the water, she had to stand there for a long second she managed to find a temperature as it warmed up slowly. Ditching the sink she quickly moved towards the cub-boards to where she dug around the cleaning supplies before grabbing wash clothes, sponges, and an assortment of other things. “I’ll go find some soap that will be safe for her skin and hair,” she murmured before quickly going to locate a bathroom of some kind.​

Zumitri
Location: Custos House
​

The boy spun around and looked at Zumitri, dropping an apple and teddy bear on the floor. The doctor glanced down at the items briefly before glancing at the boy again as he began trying to explain himself. Waving the gun to go on, the doctor listened as he spoke of knowing it was wrong to trespass and steal others things before asking if he could hold his teddy bear if Zumitri was going to kill him. The kid...no the teenager...seemed to have remorse in his words and seemed abjectly sorry and frightened. Ordan had said to kill any intruders or put them in the dungeons. Zumitri was adverse to throwing the teen before him down there to suffer and was of two minds of killing him.

“Pick up the apple and wash it off,” said Zumitri at last, putting the safety back on as he took his finger from the trigger. “I’ll make us a meal, then we can talk. Don’t leave or I will shoot you...but for now I want to hear your story.” More importantly, he wanted to know if this kid was a supernatural or a human like him. Slipping the gun into a holster at his side, he walked into the kitchen and began checking the fridge, pulling out the salad that hadn’t been ruined before setting it on the counter with another apple. “You want a shower or bath? I can direct you towards a bathroom and find some clothes for you while we launder your clothing you got on.”

Ordan/Xiulan
Location: Custos Villa​

As Ordan stood there like a fish out of water, staring at the scene before him, Eden interrupted his thoughts by speaking through the pack bond towards him. Ordan turned his attention towards the hunter's voice as she spoke, processing her words which caused the alpha some admitable confusion. Why does she want to talk to me? Ordan shook his head as he listened, debating on answering or not and mentally shoving Achilles as he opened his mouth. "I assume you'll tell me the reason why when I come see you but yes...once I deal with an unexpected situation here with Jaehwa and Silvia, I'll come look for you."

Turning back to Jaehwa and then Siliva as she came hurrying towards them, the werewolf alpha frowned at hearing about how Jaehwa had come across the child. It wasn't so much the coming across the infant and bringing it back, more so the fact that Jaehwa was developing an attachment to the child and the information he was hearing on the circumstances. It appeared to be deeply affecting the young omega who immediately began questioning Silvia on what to do and the female then scurrying off moments later to go look for shampoo and soap suited for the child.

"It's an albino," said Ordan at last. "And it is female. Being female is enough of a reason to be abandoned in some countries and cultures...coupling that with a child being albino..." Ordan shook his head. "It seems the child was birthed here and judging by its eyes...I'd say it's of Asian descent. Possibly Chinese but I'm not too sure...however that's the only Asian country I'm aware of that has a practice of abandoning children in orphanages for being female." He peered at the child in Jaehwa's arms as it fussed. "It needs clothing and food...I'd say by its size it was born sometime ago today. It is lucky we came here and you found it Jaehwa."

Pulling back from the child, Ordan pulled out some cash and a card. "Take these and go find it clothing and formula. We'll figure out what to do with it later, whether that is keeping the child or putting it at a fire station or police station to be adopted out. I'll search for something to put the child in within the meantime," he said. "Look for newborn clothing, it should be able to fit those. If possible, we may need to take it to a hospital but let's hope Silvia can take care of it."

Bathroom of Eden's Suite

​

Eden was soon enough soaking in the tub, enjoying the warmth that soaked into her skin through the bubbly water. Her head tilted backwards as she closed her eyes and sighed in content. After a few moments of peaceful silence, she finally heard Ordan's voice, answering back through the mindlink. The female nearly jumped out of her skin and grabbed ahold of either sides of the tub, her fingers paling due to how tight she was squeezing. She shook herself out of it and grumbled to herself as she slid back down into her previous position, leaning back against the porcelain structure behind her.

"I'll be in my suite, getting everything settled and put into proper place." She replied back through the mindlink, under the assumption he'd be awhile, so she just sat back and relaxed, closing her eyes once more. Images and scenarios of how the conversation would go between the two began flashing and entertaining her mind with anxiousness.

Maliki's eyes flickered towards the black SUV he'd rented; it was sitting just where the rentalist had told him. Grabbing the keys from his pocket and unlocked the doors, popping the trunk. The brute quickly set Silas' and his baggage in the back before carefully taking Evangeline's from Silas. His eyes flickered towards the younger man and he flashed a faint smile. "Let's go ahead and get to the small rental I've got set up for us, get settled in and then head up to their..place later on." Maliki replied and shut the trunk. Evangeline smiled brightly and watched as her father moved around to the driver's side, hopping in to start the car.

She tuned to Silas and grabbed his hand in hers, electricity zipping through her fingertips all the way through her arm and down along her spine. "Thank you for helping us find Blake and Larkin; it means the world to my father," she spoke softly, squeezing his hand, "He's been searching for months for Sienna, to help her. He may be a bit tense and stone-faced, but he's a good man and really does appreciate everything you're doing for him." With one last squeeze, she reluctantly let go and moved around to the second door, squeezing into the back so Silas could sit up in the front with her father if he wished.

Ordan
Location: Villa
​

"Noted," said Ordan in response to Eden's words of being in her suite getting things ready. The alpha then turned his attention back towards Jaehwa, confident he could sniff the hunter out as needed, waiting for the omega to take the cash and card. The card was in Jaehwa’s name. The omega had about $10,000 in the account to get him started in life, same with the others but Silvia as Ordan hadn’t yet done so for her.

Basilia
Location: Lobby, Blood Order HQ​

M2 was standing in the lobby hall as still as a statue without any noise being created from him awaiting orders until Basilia came. Hearing her assumption of coming out of the blue he pulls out a letter from his satchel and handed it to her. "Lord Ken requested a defiler Mk 2 class to this location." The letter only carried verification of the orders from the facility as he goes back to his statue like state hearing the new orders. Grabbing the papers he heard only kill, dispose, and the location. Nothing else was important to him as by the time she finished her sentence he destroyed the papers and started heading out to the objective.

Basilia looked over the letter, her eyebrows raising. “Interesting,” she said to herself. When she looked up, the figure was already leaving, the papers destroyed. “Interesting Indeed.” Humming she folded the letter before heading off to look for Malachi and James.

Silas R. Landon
Location: Airport Garage
Interaction: Evangeline/Maliki Eliruz

Having been distracted with the smile that was shot his way from Evangeline he had to shake his head clear of any crowding thoughts, Silas turned towards the area set out in front of them until the car came into view. The male observed the dark tinted car, and as Maliki opened the back of the car to deposit the bags, his brown eyes startling saw the ghost of a smile on the older male’s face. He hadn’t expected the sudden improvement of the mood towards him, most of the wealthy and famous was often very closed off towards the lessers of them. The vampire was starting to grow towards the pair, though it was indeed temporary. They worked like a pack, like his pack, but closer since they were family. They moved fluidly well. As Maliki spoke and answered his inquiry, Silas bobbed his ashen and brown haired head up and down. It would be nice to relax and settle down in the rental before getting down to the stressful conversations.

When the older vampire left, he had only a moment before Evangeline grasped his hand in hers. He hadn’t anticipated the action, so at first he just let her hold it until he held it back with a gentle squeeze from his end. He had felt a momentarily rush of warmth from her hand until she let it go. She had thanked him. “I won’t deny him common courtesy,” he shrugged casually as she walked off towards the backseat of the car. Currently standing there, he wasn’t fairly sure if he wanted to even speak with Maliki—well more so he didn’t want to risk getting a talking to. He seemed like the type. Besides, someone older than many of the pack, Blake would want to meet them, or at least be intrigued to meet them that is.

Slipping towards the back, he opened the other back door before slipping in through the back door. Silas sat down before he could hear protests that might occur, so as he leaned back against the cushion he let his head rest back against the head rest. He wasn’t truly in tune to speak up so he merely looked out the window, his brown eyes tracing the different cars and vehicles that were parked or pulling out. Silas has left his brown hair a mess, he was cleaned up though from the previous interactions he had. Even if his hair was a mess he didn’t look messy or unorganized like he usually did.​

Jaehwa
Location: Villa's kitchen | Interacting: Silvia ( Shaded ), Ordan & Xiulan ( scorpiodragon )​

Following Silvia to the kitchen, Jaehwa watched as she warmed up the water. "I can't believe it either," he replied before she went searching for some suitable soap for them to use, which he hoped she'd find. Otherwise, that added one more thing to the long list of stuff he'd have to buy for the child. Oddly, however, he wasn't feeling as against the idea of spending money for her as he was when spending for himself. There was a difference there that he couldn't fully discern yet, if ever.

Listening to Ordan's explanation, the omega's shoulders slackened, his eyes locked firmly on the babe in his arms. He was about to cry just as much as she was. "That's terrible," he said, urged to get his thoughts out there. Classifying her in such a way hadn't been on his mind at all since he'd first found her. It was such a foreign concept for him.

Briefly, he could tell that Ordan was now handing him a card with some cash, but he didn't look up. "We... I'm keeping her," Jaehwa declared definitively. "I don't think I could stand just giving her away to be adopted. I don't know why, but... I couldn't." His eyes finally left the small child, settling upon Ordan. "You'll help me take care of her, right?" The intimacy of that request wasn't something that even occurred to him. He simply knew this wasn't something he could handle all on his own. He didn't even know why he was taking on this responsibility. Perhaps it was because he himself had been in a similar situation. What would've happened had Ordan turned him down all that time ago? Cast him away like that?

Jaehwa took the card, gesturing for the alpha to hold the baby so his hands were free. "I'll be back as soon as I can." Breathing in shakily, he managed a warm smile. "And hey, since she seems to be Chinese... Let's call her Xiulan. It's a pretty name, isn't it?"

Xen
Location: Custos' kitchen | Interacting: Zumitri ( scorpiodragon )​

Swallowing, Xen clambered for the apple, picking it up and slowly getting back to his feet. He wanted to ask why this man wasn't shooting him right here, right now, but the question failed to reach his chapped lips. Instead, he busied himself at the sink, washing the bitten apple with shaky hands as his teddy sat precariously upon the countertop. He couldn't believe he was going to be given a meal, let alone that this guy was offering him clean clothes and a shower.

"Okay," Xen said, agreeing to everything, the shower, the meal, and telling his story. His eyes landed hungrily on the salad on the counter. Salads used to gross him out. But now, he didn't think it would matter all that much. A selfish voice echoed in his head, questioning why there was no meat, that it only wanted meat and nothing else was acceptable, but he was used to it. Taking a bite of the apple again calmed that part of him down. "Thank you. I'd like to shower." He probably looked like a mess, dirt smudged all over his face and clothes. It embarrassed him, even though he didn't usually care much for his appearance.

Eden sighed softly, opening her lids and lifting her head to gaze at the drain; she contemplated staying in for awhile but knew that the Alpha would be at her door soon. Quickly, she reached into the water and plucked the plug from the drain, the water gurgling down in a spiral. Her hands slid to either sides of the tub once more and gripped it, pushing herself up. Water trickled down her tan figure as she stood, her hair matted down and damp with the smell of her sweet nectar and honey-scented conditioner.

The female carefully stepped out onto the fluffy floor mat and reached out for a towel.

Evangeline chuckled softly to his comment before making her way into the car. Maliki started the engine and looked over at Silas with a sigh. He began backing out and drove out onto the highway, his gaze trained on the road. Evageline leaned in between the two seats and began conversing with Silas, asking eagerly about how the Coven life worked and how the hierarchy worked. It was safe to say she was very interested in Coven life.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Villa Kitchen
Interaction: Xiulan/Ordan scorpiodragon , Jaehwa Kipsy

Feeling scatterbrained, the young female dig around in cabinets and showers she found until she finally found a shampoo that would work. Standing up after digging out cleaning supplies and extra conditioners and body washes, Silvia sighed in a form of relief. She didn’t know why she was really rushing other than the fact that the child needed to be cleaned and taken care of. The fact that she had been rushing around caught up to her, and sliding down onto the ground she ended up sitting with her legs crossed and back against the floor. “At least I found it,” she groaned.

Silvia had clutched a few possible shampoos in her grasp, the bottles would probably explode if she held them any tighter than she currently was. The pale haired female finally lost her energy, almost like it was sapped from her until she rolled over onto her stomach. Using her hands and knees to push herself up and off the floor, her bare feet scuffing the floor and making them sting slightly before she stood up completely to her short stature. Shaking off her drowsiness the werewolf peeked out of the door, her blue eyes flicking over the halls before she walked back to the kitchen.

Coming in as Jaehwa handed off the baby to Ordan, she observed cautiously before heading towards the sink. Reaching out to feel the water against her fingertips, she adjusted the water one last time before reaching for a plug. Setting the soap to the side, she double check the ingredients and chemicals used to create the shampoo. It should be safe without any major chemicals that would hurt he child—in fact it didn’t have too many chemicals at all which was a good sign. Grabbing the wash cloth and sponges she set them next to the sink as it began pooling together.

“Would you two like me to wash her? She is a girl after all,” she chided teasingly, an attempt to clear up the mood lingering in the room. Smiling gently she leaned against the kitchen counter observing the pair, she wondered if Jaehwa would take care of the babe, and if Ordan would allow it. She didn’t think that he’d turn the child away—he didn’t turn her away with her far more annoying self, so the child had a head start compared to Silvia.

The male had turned his head as Evangeline spoke to him, she had inquired about they way his Coven was, and he merely leaned back before sighing slightly trying to form the proper explanation. “It’s nice, it is better than being alone,” he started at first. “It’s mostly easy as long as you follow the rules—and do as the alpha asks. Sometimes there are more than one so it can be hard to really to get clear instructions from both,” he informed before turning to look at the auburn haired female.

“We have roles, specific things to keep us alive. There are keepers in my Coven, one who helps us. He can heal and get rid of infection for us to regenerate faster, and we have hunters—those like me,” he continued on, he had figured she might catch on what the title told of him and his first encounter of her, “—I feed the pack when they can’t feed themselves. I hunt for food when the wolves or another vampire isn’t able to. We usually hunt on our own, sometimes I don’t need to hunt for others either since they are all capable,” he informed. “It’s like a family, we have siblings and other sorts of relations within the pack, sometimes couples or relatives. We don’t have children, oddly enough we don’t have to worry of little warriors running around,” he chuckled to himself lightly. He enjoyed speaking of the Coven, Lichen had rough edges that needed to be worked out but it was a work in progress.​

Ordan
Location: Villa
​

The alpha followed Jaehwa as he followed after Silvia, the omega first replying to Silvia and then to Ordan himself as he spoke and continued on the conversation. "Indeed though I think they might be changing somewhat. They've lifted their one child policy last I heard." The alpha shrugged, he didn't keep up anymore with stuff in the rest of the world and anything that wasn't of interest to Achilles, his wolf tended to ignore. Then again, Achilles tended to ignore most things not related to protecting Ordan, obsessing over hunting and for some stupid reason, when they were going to sleep with someone again such as with poor Jaehwa and...pretty much every damsel here. The male shook his head as he watched Jaehwa speak, sighing as he was asked if he would help Jaehwa care for the infant. "If you want it, it's your responsibility," said Ordan. "However...since it means so much to you...yes I will help you take care of it."

Ordan didn't know why Jaehwa seemed so set and attached already after seeing the infant. Perhaps it was because of that vampire baby from the day before, the alpha frowning to himself at the truth of what had happened. Sleep had helped to process the memory into his mind as well as the fear Jaehwa and Silvia had felt, the helplessness. Shaking his head again, he traded the card and cash for the infant. Jaehwa spoke of a name for the child due to its possible heritage and mulled the name over before nodding. "If it's yours, you can name it a good name. That seems fine to me," he said. "We'll figure out a way to pass the child off as yours biologically and put the mother as unknown or get an adoption pushed through." Ordan didn't have much experience with babies, the few pups born of the wolf that turned them and the female prisoners bred, didn't tend to survive. He shook his head again to forbid that memory from coming and cradled the child to his chest as Jaehwa said he would be back. "Key's in the ignition," he called after Jaehwa. "Make sure you get a carseat!"

Looking down at the infant in his arms, Ordan sighed and shook his head again before searching for something to put the child down in so he could go see Eden. Before he could leave however, Silvia got the water running and found what she was looking for, grabbing what he assumed were shampoo and possibly baby soap or some soap to wash the infant with. When she asked if they would like to help wash the infant, Ordan shook his head. "I have to go see what Eden wants," said Ordan, "but I'll take it with me and find out if there is something that can be used for letting it sleep." Wandering through the villa, he finally found something in a closet, a folded up portable pack n play. Setting the infant on the floor, he grabbed it and dragged it out before carrying it back to the living room and proceeding to set it up in a corner for the infant which he later retrieved after getting the pack n play set up. Picking up the infant, he set the newly named Xiulan and unexpected pack member into the pack n play before going back to Silvia. "Baby is in a pack n play I found in a closet, now lying in the living room," he said. "If you need something, hollar for myself or Adesina."

Ordan then left to go look for Eden as he had promised since she wanted to speak to him. Though he couldn't imagine what the woman needed to talk to him about in private, let alone in her suite. Mentally shutting Achilles down before the wolf could speak, he forced the annoying creature into the back of his head before continuing to track the woman's scent, having paused to deal with the monstrous half he'd become though perhaps Ordan was already a monster due to his actions in the military. A frown crossed his face as he considered that before finding Eden's scent stopping and swarming around a door which he entered without bothering to knock. Entering the bedroom, he looked around for the hunter, not seeing her in the bedroom before spotting another doorway. Perhaps Eden was in there? Shrugging, Ordan walked towards the door and opened it, his eye widening as he saw a bathroom before him and not a closet like he had thought and a rather...well the woman was not clothed but naked! And apparently getting out of a bath, the alpha smelling honey and nectar from something. Achilles, being the ass he was, took the opportunity to rush forward, eye flickering silver as he surveyed the female. "She'll make good puppies...and is quite hot. Rather..."

Ordan made a choking cough as he just stared at the woman, not helped at all by Achilles seeming to enjoy both Ordan's embarrassment and the view. Ordan again forced the wolf to release control, Achilles actively resisting. Perhaps I should have stayed at home.

"And miss this lovely sight? No...this is much better."

"Not helping...."

Zumitri watched the kid as he ate the apple after washing it in the sink and nodded at the request of a shower. Leading the kid through the house, he came to a bathroom and opened the door, pointing to a towel on the towel rack next to the shower. There was both a bath and separate shower, the kid could use whichever he desired. Rifling through the cabinets, the doctor pulled out shampoo, conditioner and a fresh bar of soap that he set on the sink, all not opened. "I'll find some clothing for you and we can wash that up. After a meal, we can decide what to do with you depending on your story," said Zumitri. "Try not to drown yourself...I have no desire explaining that."

Eden grabbed the towel that was sitting on a rack and began drying herself off, not immediately hearing the door open due to the loud gurgling of water. Her tanned figure was adorned with water droplets and a beautiful set of flowers slowly creeping along the curvature of her. Having a curvy but petite frame, she was a sight to behold, but not many had seen such things.

Spoiler: Eden's Tattoos

Her body stiffened in mid-drying when she heard a strangled cough from a male, deep and course..she knew that anywhere; Ordan. Slowly, she lifted her striking jade eyes to find the male staring, his face contorted with an obvious internal struggle. Her tanned complexion flushed brightly with a reddness and her body froze for just a minute. She stared back at the Alpha, her body tense and trembling lightly with anxiousness. Before she could react, the male had rushed forward a few steps, obviously Achilles trying desperately for control. With quick movements, she covered herself with a towel and moved towards him, her breathing slightly uneven. Her hands pressed against his chest as she began unsuccessfully pushing him towards the door. Her facial expressions gave off a more flustered tone as did her voice.

"I-I..Ordan.." She tried to speak but it all came out a flurry of jumbled stutters. Her jade gaze never left his as she gave another unsuccessful push, her face completely red. So many thoughts ran through her mind, but she was a complete mess; she had planned on confessing her feelings to him but now..now she didn't know what to do anymore. What would he do now? Seeing her scars and tattoo? Her bare body? It seemed impossible for her to even piece together what would happen next.

Evangeline listened intently to Silas' explanation of the Coven life, her eyes sparkling with amazement. With it just being her and her father, it often got quite lonely around their huge home; after her mother had passed away, Evangeline had to be more independent and learn from her father, though still keeping her charm as she got from her mother. Once he was done speaking, she looked up towards her father, who was completely focused on the road.

"Ever since my mother passed away a century ago, I've been with my father; it gets very lonely, being the only other person their besides a few volunteer feeders and maids." Evangeline explained, her eyes growing a bit somber like when they first met. "I enjoy his company, seeing how he's the only family I've ever known; my grandfather was killed shortly after my Grandmother passed away due to child birth. And, well..you saw how my Uncle acts." She slowly pulled her gaze away and gazed down at a ring on her right ring finger; it was a beautiful ruby stone with a few opals surrounding it to create a beautiful moon design.

Jaehwa
Location: From the villa to a local Target | Interacting: Ordan ( scorpiodragon ) | Mentions: Xiulan​

With the credit card in hand, Jaehwa started to rush out but stopped and turned one last time to face Ordan. "Thank you. So much." There was a bright glimmer in his eyes. He looked like he had more to say, and he did, but he couldn't manage to round up the right words. Waving his hand dismissively, he continued to bolt out towards the door and ran to the car, sliding into the driver's seat. True to what Ordan had said, the keys were already there. Pulling out his phone, Jaehwa searched for directions to the nearest Babies R Us, the only store he knew of that was specifically for babies. As it turned out, there was no Babies R Us. It had been permanently closed.

"Uhm, Siri, give me directions to the nearest... Target?" he tried, waiting for his device to flip to the maps app. Setting his phone up in front of the dashboard UI, Jaehwa pulled out and began to drive. His mind was left to wander. "I never thought I'd become a father so early." Shaking his head, he allowed himself to chuckle. In his opinion, he was too young to be dealing with this, yet he didn't at all want to give the babe up. For some odd reason, he was already beginning to feel responsible for her well-being. Surprisingly enough, though, these feelings had built up so quickly that he wasn't sure how to identify the instigator. He knew he could rely on Ordan to help him out with all this later. They could talk about it. Make sense of it all. Ordan was helpful like that.

Pulling into the Target parking lot, Jaehwa got out a little too quickly, nearly stumbling over his own feet. Steadying himself, he hurried to grab a cart, wheeling into the store only to remember that he forgot to lock the car. He headed back out into the parking lot, locked the car, and soon returned to find his cart gone. Grumbling, he found another cart and wheeled it to the baby section, where he proceeded to buy practically one of everything. Those cute footed pajamas? Yup. The floral-patterned car seat? Mhm. That adorable little headband? Already in the cart. He almost forgot diapers were necessary. On his way out, he snagged some formula powder.

The cashier who checked him out gave him a few wary glances before finally speaking up. "It came early?" Rubbing the back of his head, Jaehwa saw no other option but to nod. Gathering his bags, he put them back into the cart alongside the box for the car seat. He pushed it all the way back to the car and loaded everything up. Wheeling away the cart, Jaehwa eventually climbed back into the vehicle and made the drive to the villa with the radio on full blast.

Nodding, Xen waited for the man to leave before closing the door to the bathroom. He didn't lock it, not feeling the right to have that level of privacy when he'd just invaded someone else's home in the first place. Turning on the shower, he waited for the water to heat up before removing his dirty clothes, setting them in a pile in the bathroom sink. He stepped underneath the water, letting it rinse clean his body as his mouth slowly formed a smile. Sighing, he began to work with the shampoo and bar of soap. He didn't know what the other bottle was for. It read conditioner and he had seen it in a few other homes, but he'd never actually used it. Curious, he put a glob of it in the palm of his hand as he read the bottle.

Following the instructions, Xen applied the conditioner to his hair, scrubbing it into the tips of the locks. It was Aiden who had helped him dye his hair, a friend of his who he met years ago alongside the one who had raised him. He liked the color pink, even though its vividity had faded over a while. It made him feel more... like himself.

Xen stepped out from the shower and dried himself off. Wrapping himself in the towel, he shook the droplets of water off his hair and cracked open the door. Steam drifted out through the opening, dissipating some of the warmth in the enclosed room. "Do you have the clothes ready?" he asked, hoping the man had found them and returned. He hadn't taken too long rinsing off, so he hoped he hadn't caused him to wait too long.

Silas R. Landon
Location: Car
Interaction: Evangeline/Maliki Eliruz

As the ashen toned male listened to the violet eyes female, his own brown hues observing her as she explained about having lost her mother early on. Silas easily understood and empathized with where she was coming from on that point. His own mother had left, not so much as died but he didn’t see her ever again, but he was left in good hands similar to Evangeline with her father. He had been left with capable hands, the bitten counter part of his mother—Camilla.

“I lost my mother too,” he observed after a moment of silence, his warm eyes flicking down towards the floor of the car’s mats. The male arched a brow casually as he turned away. “I lost both of them, so I know how lonely it can get,” Silas confided for a brief second, as he went to look at Evangeline he spotted the ring adorning her finger—fairly similar to what would be passed down. He had a ring far too small to fit his fingers. He had left it back at home, so as he stared down at hers he merely held a grim smile, “Is that your mother’s ring?” he observed softly before turning to look up at her with his brown hues.​

Ordan
Location: Eden's Suite
​

Ordan nearly lost his balance as Achilles rushed forward with control of their body, fighting Ordan every step of the way. Eden however reacted by wrapping the towel around herself, Ordan briefly noting the flower tattoos curving up her body. Achilles didn't care for them, only interested in the female before him. No words were said before them, the woman's body tensing as she noticed him and turned towards him, the woman staring at him before wrapping a towel around herself and then reaching out, trying to shove the stubborn man...wolf...out the bathroom. Achilles firmly planted his feet on the floor, stubbornly resisting Ordan's trying to get control and the woman's attempts to move him out of the bathroom. Instead the wolf grabbed the woman's arms and leaned down to kiss the woman, even as she stuttered to say something before saying his human half's name.

Ordan shoved Eden away from as he finally wrestled control of Achilles, shoving the woman away as he jerked his head, his eye flickering back to brown as he let his hands fall to his sides. Hands that curled into fists as he stumbled back away from Eden. Sucking in a breath of air, Ordan tore his eyes from Eden's form and turned, choking out an response to the female. "I think it is b...best we s...stay aw...way from ea...each o...other. L...lest Ac...I...we do so...something...we....r...regret," choked out Ordan before heading towards the door of the bathroom. "I'm sorry I came in without knocking," said Ordan. "It wasn't my intentions to kiss you," he said as he made his way again to the bathroom door with the intent of leaving unless she, for some odd reason stopped him. Not trusting Achilles to remain under control, the alpha picked up his pace in his walk, the alpha then stumbling as Achilles again tried coming forward to get control and go back to the female, Ordan rushing into the bedroom and the door slamming behind him as he ran into the hallway.

Zumitri

​

Zumitri went to a supply closet and pulled out three different sets of clothing plus a couple pairs of pajamas and a coat. Grabbing a pair of boots and two pairs of shoes, one dressy and one sneakers, he carried them towards the bathroom in time for the teenager to get done and call out, asking about clothes. Zumitri raised a hand and knocked before entering and setting the clothing on the toilet. "I got three pairs of clothes here, three pairs of shoes, a couple pajamas and a coat. Find one of those to put on and you can have everything clothes wise that I have brought you," said Zumitri. "I'll be in the kitchen, just bring the clothing with you and carry the dirty clothes separately so they can get thrown in the wash." He then left and headed towards the kitchen again, searching through the cabinets before finding something to eat, pulling out a couple steaks and a package of hamburgers, figuring the kid was starving.

Eden's struggles were of no use, seeing how the Alpha had planted his feet and wasn't bugging a bit; what a stubborn wolf! The female was about to say something else but his quick, tight grip on her arms caught her by surprise and soon enough, she found his lips against her for a few movements. Her heart practically dropped to her stomach and as if something overtook her, she responded to it, her eyes fluttering closed for just a few moments before she felt him jerk away. With a dazed expression, the female was soon shoved back against the counter, her hand flying back to catch herself. As he spoke, she couldn't deny that it certaintly did hurt her a bit, but knew this was the time she needed to act; even if he knew of her feelings, they must've been minute in his eyes.

She was about to speak once more but he quickly rushed towards the door, stopping abruptly as if fighting against some internal conflict. "Ordan, wait-" she was cut off by the Alpha opening the door with a quickened pace and the slamming of the door. Groaning about men and their difficulty, she tightened the towel securely around her body and ran out after him. She swung the bathroom door open and barreled out with a hunter's speed after Ordan. "Stop! Just for a moment!" Eden called out to him, picking up her pace and finally being able to grab his wrist. Electricity rippled from her fingertips in through her body, down her spine and even to her toes.

"I like you! I have for awhile!" She exclaimed, her breath a bit uneven as she stared at him. "And personally, you shouldn't be apologizing for the kiss; I..I loved it." Eden's eyes were filled with worry, confusion, and sincerity along with a hint of nervousness. "I wanted to tell you sooner, but I was afraid that you wouldn't recuperate the same feelings; it had to be said though. So, that's why I wanted to talk to you." It was obvious she was anxious due to her rambling, but she seemed genuine. "I-If you don't return my feelings, I can live with that but I would prefer to know since I've been in the dark about all of this. And I don't know if that back there was you o-or your wolf, but-" Her body trembled, but her hand remained tight and steadfast around his wrist, her breath still a bit uneven.

Evangeline was a bit surprised to hear Silas confide in her quietly, speaking of his loss; she couldn't help but feel empathetic towards the male. Continuing to stare down at her mother's ring and fidgeting with it for a few moments, she finally lifted her eyes to the male. "I'm sorry to hear about your parents, Silas.." She murmured, obviously growing sad. Lifting her delicate hand, she allowed him to get a closer look. "Yes, this was my mother's wedding ring. My..my father passed it down to me when I turned 16." Evan explained quietly and gazed at the male; he seemed..sincere and his eyes seemed warm and genuine.

Xen
Location: Custos' bathroom to kitchen | Interacting: Zumitri ( scorpiodragon )​

Observing silently as the man entered and placed fresh clothes on the toilet seat lid, Xen stood off to the side, waiting awkwardly for him to leave. He felt completely out of place, and, honestly, still frightened. Sliding on one of the three outfits he'd been offered, he gritted his teeth, trying to relax some more. This person was showing him so much kindness, more than Xen had seen in... how many years now? Three? Four? He'd lost count. Yet he still was uncertain about this. The only thing keeping him from running was the threat given to him earlier. He didn't want to die.

Stepping out from the bathroom with the clean clothes in one hand and dirty in the other, Xen shuffled down the hall. He took his time, taking quick glances into a few of the rooms he came by. He caught sight of a few pictures of people he didn't recognize. Realizing the man might be waiting for him, he hurried up, relying on his nose more so than his memory to find his way back to the kitchen. The scent of meat perked him up, his stomach growling loudly with excitement.

"Hamburgers and steak?" Xen said, licking his lips. "Thank you." He sat down on one of the bar stools, eagerly sniffing the air every once in a while. "My name is Xen" Introducing himself was only natural at this point right? At this point, his level of self-consciousness was extreme.

The car rolled back up to the villa. Jaehwa turned the engine off and stepped out, heading to the back to grab the bags and box. Just barely able to carry everything, he made it to the front door, where he sat it all down. Opening the door, he pushed the box and bags in, setting them down with the luggage to be dealt with later. "I'm back," he called out, turning to shut the door. "Ordan? Silvia?" He straightened his coat and managed to tame his hair, for the most part, having finally calmed down from his full-on panic. "How's the baby?"

Ordan
Location: Hallway, Villa
​

Ordan got out into the hallway, managing to escape Eden or so he thought, the woman shouting after him to stop and wait. He ignored it, continuing down the hall until he heard footsteps racing after him and then felt a hand grab his wrist, causing him to stop in his tracks though not from being pulled to a stop but more so to the touch of another person's hand on him. He glanced down at the hand on his wrist, the scent of nectar and honey wafting into his nose. The alpha turned, raising his eyes to meet Eden staring at him and holding his wrist. He opened his mouth to say something but before he could speak Eden broke into speech, her words causing his good eye to widen as she began speaking, cutting off anything he was about to say.

She spoke of liking him and having done so for a while. Is that why she is so protective these past couple months? Her protectiveness...it's weird but also...sweet I suppose in a weird way.

"Finally! Now can we take our woman back to her room or ours and have some real fun?"

"..."

"We should claim the female before the omega does."

Ordan closed his eye and told Achilles to shut up as he stared at Eden in surprise and shock, the alpha wolf also feeling the slight tingle of electricity on contact from the woman which he wasn't sure was even real. He couldn't deny the woman's contact was unwarranted, he just wasn't entirely sure she was thinking clearly. "That was all my wolf's idea...the...kissing,"

"And a good idea it was...you certainly didn't offer any solutions."

"And he apologizes..."

"No I don't."
Ordan was seriously regretting going on this trip. "This is supposed to be a vacation," Ordan growled out loud as Eden's rambling continued. He distinctly heard her saying she had wanted to tell him her feelings for a while before speaking of not knowing if it was him or Achilles whom had kissed her back there to which she now knew. Eden's grip didn't tighten, her breathing remained uneven and she looked flustered. Her words, her confession, it honestly shocked the alpha and he wasn't sure what to say to this information. It was around that time that Jaehwa turned back up, shouting for the alpha and healer before asking how the baby was.

"Maybe we can talk the omega into spending time with us. I wonder what he looks like? Oh...maybe we can impregnate both the hunter and the omega and they can both have our puppies!"

Ordan's features paled drastically at Achilles words, mouth opening and closing again soundlessly before his head hit the floor...something Zumitri had advised the pack against but not so much Ordan's inner wolf as he fainted.

Zumitri turned as the kid came into the kitchen and questioned him about the food. "You want these grilled or pan cooked? I find meat tastes better on a grill," said Zumitri. Hearing the boy thank him and lick his lips, Zumitri nodded as he pointed to the salad. "Finish that and you're welcome," he said. "Xen," he said as he heard the kid respond to him. "I'm Dr. Uldaroc but you may call me Zumitri as we are not in the hospital. I work as a surgeon."

The female nodded slowly, trying desperately to gain control of her breathing. Eden swallowed thickly and flinched lightly as Ordan growled out, emotions bubbling up; she knew this would be a bad idea. He looked absolutely shocked, maybe even a bit mortified. As he began paling, her eyes widened and with swift movements, she caught the heavy male and desperately used her strength to keep him up. "This was my fault, I'm so sorry.." She whispered, attempting to pick him up from underneath his arm, wrapping her own around his torso. Quickly, she moved him into her room and carefully laid him out on her bed, panic in her eyes,

Darting into the bathroom, she dumped out a small bowel of soaps and filled it with water. Once it was filled and ready to go, she rushed back into the bedroom, dousing her Alpha in water, desperately trying to wake him. Tears pricked her eyes as guilt began to stain her mind, her hand trembling as she rested it against his cheek. "Ordan, please wake up." She whispered, small droplets dripping onto his shirt, her eyes watching his features for any sign of alertness.

Adesina had soon found the young infant fussing in the little play area that had been set up. Her brow furrowed as she picked the younger up and began rocking her, a sigh leaving her lips; the infant smelt of Jae and wolf. Hearing Jae's call, she looked up and began making her way to him. "Hey, she's right here." The Alpha smiled sweetly and rocked the baby a bit more. "Where did you get a newborn from? Is there something you need to tell me? A secret lover?" She teased and eyed the Omega with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

He observed as she began toying with the ring—the odd yet pretty and delicate design was startling to see on a jewel far past his decade of birth. When she broke the momentary silence, he dipped his head downwards, “No need to apologize,” he informed before turning to fully look at the ring carefully. She had brought it up for him to look at completely, not daring to reach out and touch it he crossed his arms as he attempted to examine it further with his eyes.

“It’s pretty, and it suits you,” he stated before leaning back in his seat. He hadn’t really confided in a specific person in quite a while, mainly being the guardian who introduced him to the pack and broached the topic of family every so often. Silas has even found himself perplexed yet relieved to relaying that to the girl, he was opening up and in a way such an oddity he didn’t know how to handle. Evangeline and her father were strange, he believed them too be formal and the ‘rich stay with rich’ sort of vibe—to be frank he thought all rich people were like that, but Evangeline and her sire were different. He would complain of others still remaining in such a mindset yet it appeared it was just him. Being stuck in the rebellious phase of lashing out against the old labels. He was getting better, over the years things had changed and so did he, and obviously so. “Tell me, are you excited to be in this area? Have you been before?” he mused hoping to change the saddened topic.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Villa
Interaction: Xiulan/Ordan scorpiodragon , Jaehwa Kipsy , Adesina/Eden Eliruz

The fair haired wolf had been lounging beside the babe, observing her reactions to different things, she had deduced the child rather healthy for being left alone. She would probably suffer some kind of trauma and need close supervision at night when sleeping due to possible lung problems from inhaling sand but she was looking alright. Currently watching and laying beside the child to occupy herself from being alone, she had brushed aside the bangs before leaving for a moment. Silvia has left the child for a moment to grab something which she long forgot when she heard Jaehwa’s voice carry through the villa.

Poking around the corner she waved at the male before hearing Adesina—the vampire she believed. Drying her hands she stepped out towards the two before a rather loud noise rocked her. Left jarred her face fell and pales more than usual at the sudden sound. Whipping around and dropping the rag she did her best to follow it. Rushing towards a bedroom she burst in, nearly kneeling over at the sound of the thud. It had been a moment before she spotted it. Well them.

Eden was practically naked in a towel splashing water in the collapsed Cyclops known as Ordan, leaning against the door she headed towards Ordan with panic flashing on her face. “What happened?” she asked darting over before hesitantly reaching out. Getting onto her knees, ignoring the wet flooring, she reached out and lifted his head up briefly, fingers touching the back of his head before setting it down. Worry flashing on her face her eyes scanned Eden as she waited for an answer before darting back to Ordan. “Did he collapse on his own?”​

Her eyes widened when she heard loud footsteps and looked up towards the door, finding Silvia practically busting down the door. Eden's eyes filled with more tears as she grasped the material of the bed sheet tightly in her free hand. "I-I..I was bathing and got out to dry, he busted in, thinking I was dressed or something. His wolf took over, a-and..kissed me. He rushed out, so I ran after him so I could confess how I felt; bad idea on my part. H-He fainted after. I shouldn't of said a word," she whispered her last sentence and looked down at Ordan's unconscious face, a small sniffle leaving Eden. The huntress quickly stood and made her way to the bathroom to get dressed so she wasn't nearly naked. Slipping on a tank top and spandex shorts, she walked back in with a tissue in hand.

"I'm sorry; if I would've known that he would act like this, I wouldn't have said a word about it." With that said, she moved to sit next to the male and lifted her hand to touch his cheek but stopped in mid-motion, shaking her head and retracting her hand. "I..I think from now on, I'll stay out of his way. I'll just..stay out of sight, out of mind." Eden carefully pushed herself up and slowly moved towards the large window, allowing herself to strengthen her resolve and convince herself and her wolf that it was the right thing to do.

Evangeline felt her cheeks grow a bright red, her eyes slowly flickering up to look at Silas who had complimented her. Swallowing thickly, unsure of how to handle such a comment, she smiled warmly and retracted her hand, resting it in her lap. "Thank you," she murmured, returning back to her thoughts for a few moments. Her family had money and were rich due to their old blood slave trading business, but they used it scarcely and hardly touched their money; Maliki believed that bringing up his daughter in such a way would benefit and do her some good when she grew older, which it definitely had. Evangeline knew not to take anything for granted because it wouldn't last, or atleast it hadn't for her, so she lived within the moment and tried her best to keep happy thoughts, pushing away the somber images and memories of the past. Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked back up at Silas and chuckled softly with a shake of her head. "I'm very excited but I've never been here before; it's a place that I've wanted to visit though. Preferably not due to business, but I'm grateful either way. How about you? Have you visited such places?"

Jaehwa
Location: Villa | Interacting: Adesina & Eden ( Eliruz ), Silvia ( Shaded ), Ordan & Xiulan ( scorpiodragon )​

Seeing Adesina approach him with the babe in hand, he let out a relieved smile. Upon her teasing, however, he glanced away, embarrassed. "No, I found her on the beach. We think her parents abandoned her. I... I almost wish it was a different story," he answered honestly, bending over to dig in one of the bags. "I got her some clothes and a blanket, which will hopefully help." When he stood, he saw Silvia waving, a gesture he returned with his free hand before holding out the small set of pajamas. "We should get her changed--"

Something loud hit the floor. His eyes flung from Silvia, who was already bolting away, to Adesina and the newborn. Panic kicked in. He dropped the baby's stuff, sparing one last look at Xiulan before darting towards where Silvia has gone. He could trust the vampire alpha with her, and that managed to calm some of his nerves. Still, he had to see what was going on. Had someone slipped? Broken something? In either situation, he would deliver as much help as he could. That was his responsibility.

He came in just after Eden returned, her hand reaching for Ordan's cheek before retracting it. "What do you mean? What happened?" He moved to stand beside Silvia, worry stricken upon his face. "It was him that fell?" he asked, wishing for it not to be true. What if Ordan had hit his head hard in the process? That was one of the things Zumitri had warned them about... Stupid! He shouldn't have left the alpha alone, not for a child, not for anyone. What on Earth was he thinking? His wolf was pissed at him, but there was something else there, something more genuine to himself that he couldn’t place his finger on.

Silvia A. Brandt
Location: Eden’s Suite
Interaction: Ordan scorpiodragon , Eden Eliruz , Jaehwa Kipsy

She bobbed her head up and down, hand reaching out to examine the area underneath the ye patch as her face grew relatively serious. He hopefully wouldn’t be too banged up, but his eye would worsen due to the jarring affect it’d leave with it being jumbled after the fall. The rest of his body was fine—his head was the most worrisome part of him. If all the blood came rushing it might be too much for his wounded eye—though he did have some kind of accelerated healing so it could be better than she thought.

Pulling the eye patch back down, the healer turned his head with her hands, tracing her fingers along his scalp where he might have hit the floor. She was searching for bumps or knots to know exactly where his head hit first. He’d be sore, and as Zumitri had stated previously it could alter the progress of his eye. “Wait—“ she murmured watching Eden carefully, she had looked up as she began to talk. “That was brave of you to confess,” she stated after a moment. She had dealt with instances where couples got stressed out or something alike an odd occurrence so she found it a little lightening that it occurred within the pack.

“He was just stressed out is all, I get after finding out about taking the child in he was already quite stressed,” she concluded as the girl went to change into clothes. Moving her hands down to his wrist she quickly checked for a pulse—it was there obviously. Turning her head briefly she shook her head, “He’ll be fine, overreacting makes things worse. We need to keep the fluid out of his eye though,” she proposed carefully though she perked up when Eden spoke of staying away.

“That’s the last thing you need to do, staying away is going to make him and yourself freak out. I think now is the best time to interact,” she concluded before turning to Jaehwa, dipping her head she indicated a yes in response. “Yes he fell, but he won’t suffer from anything but possible damage—he had a minor tumble. Bedrest, lots of bedrest to keep him clear of further damage. His eye might not recover fully, maybe hazey but it could go back to normal with time,” she concluded after finding the knot. It had formed quickly, and that left her carefully holding the back of his head. “We should move him to his room, we don’t know when he’ll wake,” she stated as her hair fell to partially bloke her vision. Looking up she turned to Eden and Jaehwa, “I’m gonna need some help moving him,” she mused softly, she wasn’t going to relay all of the damages that could occur with the fall, they would get too upset—Eden blaming herself and Jaehwa a mess—not good combos in a pack.​

The female heard more steps and slowly looked up to find Jae, worry glimmering in his facial features. Eden inhaled slowly, trying desperately to grasp what she'd said; right now was the right time? He had just fainted because of the last bit of stress from her! She remained silent and only nodded as Silvia talked, masking her guilt and swallowing it to focus on the task at hand.

"I..I just hope I haven't ruined his vacation." Eden murmured quietly before moving towards the large male sprawled out and shook her head. She needed to find a good place to grab so she could help pick him up. Swallowing thickly and carefully grasping onto a sturdy spot along his arm to carrying him, waited until everyone was ready. The female forced herself to stop her tears and get Ordan to his bed where he can rest before she got upset, seeing how it wouldn't help their situation.

​

The Alpha heard the thud and snapped her eyes towards the sound. Quickly, holding the infant tight in her arms enough to secure her, Adesina quickly made her way down the hall and into Eden's room to find Ordan passed on the floor and everyone gathered around him. Her brow furrowed as she listened to Silvia's diagnosis and something about how Eden was brave; she finally understood, a heavy sigh leaving her. "Hold the child, Jae. Move out of the way; I'll get him to his room. If you wish to follow, you may." The Alpha spoke with authority, but somehow, she made it sound gentle and calming. Once Jae had taken the child from her, the Alpha gently moved Eden away and smiled faintly. She grabbed ahold of his arm and carefully lifted his body with ease, her arm hooking around his lean torso.

Moving out of Eden's room, she walked the large brute to his room and kicked the door open, leaving it widely ajar. It was quite a spacious room, and had a very beautiful set of decor with a large bed. The Alpha quickly moved him to the bed and set him down, swinging his legs up onto the large bed. Assuming that Silvia had followed, she looked towards the medic and backed away.

"I'll have Eden and Jae head downstairs to start dinner. It'll give them time to relax, to take a breather. Please make sure he is tended to, darling?" Adesina squeezed Silvia's shoulder, a smile tugging at her lips. Seeing a piece of hair in the healer's face, the Alpha quickly tucked it behind her ear before disappearing back into Eden's room. "Everything will be fine, he just needs to rest up. Would you two go start on dinner? Maybe feed the babe? She seems to be hungry," she requested politely and gave the two a reassuring smile. Eden just looked away and gave a small nod before moving towards the door, waiting for Jae.
