Praetor gently put a arm around the young girl. "Lucian I will give you time, I must attend to this I hope we meet again and brother, you deserve your happiness and know that I will stand by you in your choice." He patted Lucians shoulder leaving the couple as he lead the girl out the door. "Adelise you can tell me, everyone makes mistakes and I will not tell Maria if you wish me not to. You do not have the centuries of experience I do or the wise council of two old vampires like Maria does. No matter what it is we are family, tell me what has occurred." He patted her he comforting her, he may have been old but this was not the first time he had dealt with being a older brother, or at least playing the part of one.
