Caius nodded at Lucinda and then looked towards Piper. He stepped away, preferring not to be involved in what was obviously a family squabble. If Claudia was with Alex then she'd be safe. Unless Alex decides to do away with her, of course. But like most twins, they had this strong connection that allows them to sense if the other is in danger or in pain. Not feeling anything at the moment, he assumed that she was fine. He led Callie towards the bar where Tabitha was with a blonde angry looking vampire. 

Tabitha met them halfway and began apologizing to him. He let her finish before he shook his head. [color=turquoise]"I suppose an apology from me is in order too. I knew you had taken a liking to Callie by her stories about you. While I didn't know that you planned on turning her, I just wanted to...no...I needed to claim her for my own. And for my selfishness, I'm sorry,"[/color] he paused. [color=turquoise]"As for Samuel's pack...No, we have not allied ourselves with them nor with anyone. We are merely observers though if anything were to happen to Callie at their hands, I will not hesitate to attack. I am sure Claudia would feel the same way if Alex's life were to be put in danger."[/color] He nodded. [color=turquoise]"I will set up a meeting with the pack leader. I'm sure he will be willing to listen to what you have to say."[/color] 

Tabitha pondered that a moment, but supposed she really didn't have a right to be angry, when she couldn't fight destiny. And wasn't that a pain in the butt? [color=f7941d]"I suppose I get that. Imprinting is hard to understand, yet we vampires have our own form, in a way. Sometimes we just find the one that makes the long, unending years more bearable. It still annoys me to no end, but fate is something that can't be fought, I suppose."[/color] She sighed softly, and shook her head, her pink locks bouncing about. 

[color=f7941d]"Great. I'm thinking it might be best if I do it without Lucinda, at least...she has a problem with wolves, as you've seen..."[/color] she trailed off, closing her eyes a moment. There was no point getting herself worked up again. She disliked this...sane view, and wanted very much to get back to her garden. Or a painting. Or even some music. Maybe even jumping about on her gigantic mattress...or she could build a cubby house inside a room. A house inside a house, now, that was awesome. 

Drifting, she looked back to Caius and Callie. She blinked. [color=f7941d]"but maybe after the full moon"[/color]

Was imprinting really that strong, Callie wondered, unconsciously reaching up to touch her shoulder, nervousness filling her stomach, a million fluttering butterflies there. Hearing Caius say he simply needed to claim her...it both made her feel...wonderful. She hoped after her transformation she'd be able to share his feelings, utterly and completely, She didn't need to be a wolf to know that Caius was who she wanted. 

[color=fff200]"You're not selfish, Caius. I came with you voluntarily, I wanted you, I did it willingly."[/color] She said, [color=fff200]"And I'd do it again"[/color] She said simply. She looked to Tabitha, wishing she could give the vampire some solace, but what could she do or say?

Caius looked towards Lucinda as she addressed him and put him in charge of the bar. He nodded towards her and then turned back to Tabitha. He smiled politely at her and then leaned towards Callie and pressed a kiss to her forehead. [color=turquoise]"I'll give you some time alone with each other while I go do my job."[/color] he excused himself and assumed his place behind the bar, eyeing the hole in it as he did. He looked at the blonde vampire and at the empty glass in front of him. [color=turquoise]"There's no need to yell, sir. Now, would you like another whiskey or something else?"[/color]
