~~~~~~~
Leondres felt his heart sink for a moment as Nathan’s eyes locked onto Leo’s figure, and yet at the same time, Leo could not help but also feel pleased. It was still true that Leo wanted to avoid any kind of interaction with Nathan that would lead to the conversation topic of their ‘dungeon delving’ experience, equally so, Leo would have felt insulted if the ‘Prince of Djinns’ hadn’t recognized his presence at all, especially when they were in such close proximity from each other. Well, he was bound to notice my presence here some point soon, after all, who couldn’t tell when they are in the presence of someone as great as I am? A satisfied and rather smug grin befell Leo’s face as he returned the nod of acknowledgment back to Nathan. Leo also, in his endless ego, expected a similar sign of acknowledgment from the other S-Class of Dragonclaw, Alex Morne and that is when the impossible for Leo happened. The mage hadn’t paid Leo even a single glance before moving back on inside the estate, and this left Leo in a momentary state of utter disbelief COMPLETELY IGNORED!?! Leo mumbled a sum of incoherent curses under his breath before recomposing himself. Well clearly, if he could not recognize such a significant individual like me, he isn’t even worth making note of, although… That display of his was pretty impres- NOO!! It was nothing, nothing at all when compared to my gifts & talents~ Leo’s ego remained intact, which is very important of course! That was when, suddenly, he was paid a surprise appearance of his favorite in-law popping up beside him.Leondres Goldheart, I should've known. He looks at the mage and nods his head acknowledging him, before turning away heading into the estate. As he enters through the doors, the take over mage uses transformation magic changing his clothes once more.
Leo spun around and placed both hands on both of Zael’s shoulder in a sort of embrace “Oho~ Don’t worry about the attention, when you’re anything like me, you’ll get used to it and realize all attention is good attention, no exceptions!” Leo looked as though he planned to continue, but at the moment he heard mention of ‘jewels’, his ears twitching and eyes sparkling “You dwiiiiiiid!!~?” Leondres said with the voice of a child receiving a present for Christmas, he eagerly watched as Zael pulled the dagger from his ‘pocket dimension’. His face lit up upon first glance, but just as he began to admire the new work of Zael he became distracted by the feeling of an aura he was quite familiar with and shook him to his core, It can’t be… Leo’s eyes snapped back to Cadence, just in time to confirm his suspicions...“ Cousin... You’re gonna draw so much attention to us.. I regret this immediately. “ He let out another long sigh, shifting behind Leo a bit more as if this would hide him from the world which was comical given he could just disappear again. “ I ‘uhm.. I made you a dagger the other day, I embedded it with a lot of jewels and stuff. I know that really catches your eye. Which your eyes are actually genuinely pretty, even more so than the dagger itself. “ As he spoke, his confidence began to shine, a flamboyant attitude slowly taking over his entire figure. He pulled out the dagger from his pocket dimension, holding it out to Leo with an innocent look hovering on his face, wondering if this would make him happy.
In a fleeting moment of intense familiarity caused by the sudden change in Cadence’s aura, Leondres was taken back to the first time he laid eyes on the Patriarch of the Aurelio Family, Atrius…For a moment you could see a bright light flicker in Cadence eyes. Changing their color to a bright golden color much like one people might think the gates of heaven would be. At that moment his whole aura changed, to one that threatened to even outdo Sora's. The magical energy of Atrius Aurelio, brother to the first king of Alvarez and Patriarch of the Aurelio family flooded from the form of Cadence for just long enough to be noticed by any still around before dispersing in a small stream of light particles.
It was the first time Leondres had ever even entered the Aurelio Family Estate because unlike the other branches of the Aurelio family who all lived in separate manors inside the wide & prosperous area the estate covered, Leo’s parents instead opted to live outside the estate shortly after his birth. Building their own manor isolated at the top of a mountain peak where Leo spent almost the entirety of his childhood, and so he also never got many chances at meeting the other members of his family. His parents were overly possessive of their only son, as well as distrusting of the majority of Aurelio’s main branch families, and so it was strange that they would willingly allow Leondres to leave their manor, let alone travel to the very home of all those his parents distrusted and believed to conspire against them. Yet something had changed their minds and hearts in some way, it was a sudden decision on their part as if they just got up that morning and suddenly realized what they must do. They left their manor seemingly with no rhyme or reason until they had finally reached the estate, his parents escorted him in the dark of night as to avoid being spotted as they took Leondres to a private area of the estate reserved for the patriarch of their family and that is where his mother & father, Zadie, and Armel, revealed their motivations for bringing him to this place: they desired to make Leondres a candidate to potentially become the next Patriarch of the Aurelio Family and so we're bringing him to their current patriarch, Atrius Aurelio in the hopes they would receive their great founders blessing! While Leondres had no interest in such things, nor did he have much interest in meeting any of his family, after all, if they were at all anything like his parents he had no desire to meet him. But at the moment he finally laid eyes on the founder of their family, something lifted up inside him and pulled him closer to Atrius and in that moment Leo did not see a man before him…At that moment he saw that Atrius was a sun, just like Leondres was the center of their own universe, but Atrius was a sun so magnificently bright, with a gravitational force so powerful, the planets which revolved around him were endless in number. Leondres saw what he could be, or perhaps, what he would strive to surpass. For the first, and only time, Leondres felt that he had met a ‘true equal’.
Suddenly Leondres realized that his hands were shaking like mad, possessed with both fear & excitement. As the aura of Atrius dispersed into a small stream of light, Leo’s shakes began to subside. Now that was...EXCITING!!..!!..!!
The obsidian haired boy handed the dagger over with a smile a child might have worn, one proud of their accomplishments.
Leondres accepted the dagger with greedy fingers, returning Zael’s proud smile with his own, but instead, Leo’s smile resembled that of a child opening a present for Christmas and for a brief moment he allowed himself to admire the dagger once more before stashing away at his side, right beside his sealed djinn equip that also took the form of a dagger: It really is beautiful, even more so than Amon’s blade in it’s sealed state...Heehee, I can definitely see this coming in handy~ Cadence approached Leo, breaking his current track of thought as his cousin greeted them. Leo, in a sarcastic manner, shrugged and smiled “From the looks of things I think I came back just in time to see the good stuff, besides you should know me by now~ I don’t like being cooped up~” Leo paused for a moment as Cadence continued to propose that either of them accompany him “Well…Uuuuhh, uuuhmmm, hrrmmm….” Leo paused as he contemplated Do I REALLY want to accompany him…? He is right, I do not like quiet, but I have cleared out all the gambling houses in the area...But then, Cadence might go on with his lectures again, yet! I am also pretty tired, and his lectures do make going to sleep a lot easier...I wonder what Zael is going to do...Leo’s eyes shifted to Zael, watching to see what his answer was going to be before coming to his own decision. If Leo was the type of person to trust in only his eyes he may have already been under the impression Zael would decline, but Leo was an individual who lived the entirety of his life based on the feeling in his gut, his gut told him Zael had no reason not to accompany Cadence."I see you took your precious time. I'm quite tired. I think I might go rest. I know you aren't one for quite Leo, and you tend to do your own thing Zael. But I'm feeling particularly paranoid that I might be stabbed in the back while I rest now. Would either of you accompany me?"
An arrogant smile grew along Leo’s cheeks as he raised his nose high in the air, silently pleased with himself And my gut wins again, no surprise really; what are eyes useful for aside from the ability to gaze upon things of beauty? Leo’s decision was made up of Zael, but he did not want to make it too obvious that was the case and so he acted as though he was still unsure for just a little longer. At least Leo gave an exaggerated shrug with palms facing the sky “Oh well, why not? After all, maybe there really IS a chance that someone is going to try sneak in and assassinate you, hehee~ Now that’s something I wouldn’t wanna’ miss out on, so like Zael said, lead the way! Luck’s now at your side~” Leondres said with a sarcastic tone, and mentally he added Besides, maybe I can start discussing the details of what Zael is going to make for me next! His mind lingered back to the idea of being hunted down by an assassin and if Leo were being honest, a part of him actually did hope something like that might happen Now that would really liven up the mood of this place! Maybe I should start making some enemies too after all great people like myself need great enemies! Heh, I wonder what it’s like to have someone try to assassinate you in your sleep~The look on his face didn’t seem too thrilled and Zael offered him a look of solace. “ I’m already out in the open, might as well accompany you. “ He held a hand out then, the way one would if asking another to dance, a charming smile tugging at his lips. Clearly Cadence needed to be cheered up, so Zael would be damned if he wouldn’t try to at least ease some of that negativity that was written as clear as day on his face. “ Lead the way, brother. “
