Lucian had shook his head at Alistair's question, "[color=662d91]I flew...[/color]" Lucian had opted to give no further explanation of what had happened between him and Praetor. Lucian sat down at the table and didn't speak any further, listening to everyone's conversations, When everyone started leaving Lucian shot up out of his chair, "[color=662d91]I want to help...[/color]" Adrian had simply been smoking his woes away, He nodded to each Blackmoore as the left, after all he knew his role to play, he had a job like anyone else but orders never really needed to be spoken to him anymore, Much like how Beatrix was Alistair's sword Adrian was also another weapon in Alistair's armory, but unlike Beatrix he was something more similar to a lockpick, Adrian was content to smoke though, that was until Lucian stood up and looked as if he might attempt to go after one of them in a maddened attempt to help, Adrian decided to speak precisely at that moment, "[color=9e0b0f]And you will...After you shower and put on fresh clothes...You're gonna be with me Loverboy.[/color]" Lucian eyed Adrian coldly, "[color=662d91]And what good will come of sneaking through shadows with you?[/color]" Lucian stared him down, "[color=662d91]Yes I know a little about you...The Infamous Master Of Whispers...[/color]" Lucian clenched his fist, "[color=662d91]Maria is in danger!!! What good will sneaking about in the dark do!!![/color]" Adrian simply sat there barely paying the Vampire any heed, Instead he took a nice long drag of his cigar before answering with an almost fatherly tone, "[color=9e0b0f]Are you an idiot boy?[/color]" Before Lucian could answer Adrian followed up with, "[color=9e0b0f]Then you should know better than anyone...That rushing in headstrong is the most surefire way to get Maria slaughtered...And then her death is on your hands.[/color]" Adrian looked up at him finally with eyes as cold and dark as the deepest pits of hell, "[color=9e0b0f]Now...Go upstairs to the right and get a fucking shower...You'll have clean clothes waiting for you...And after that you and I are gonna go meet someone who can really help our current situation.[/color]" Lucian wanted to scream and argue about how he needed to fight his way to Maria, but in his heart he knew the man was right, If they fought to her it would take to long and they would kill her out of desperation, Lucian nodded softly as he started making his way upstairs to the showers, along the way he could here the voice screaming in his head, telling him that he would fail...that she would die, "[color=fff200]No...I will save her.[/color]" The voice simply laughed, "[color=662d91]Perhaps...but what lengths will you go to in the process I dare wonder...When the time comes...I'll be waiting Lucian Loralen.[/color]"
