Orren had withdrawn into himself and been playing from memory of a happier time. When Adelina finished dancing he smiled to himself. She was quite the dancer. He especially liked her strawberry blond hair gliding about her as she spun and swayed to the music. He actually took in her appearance as if it were the first time. When she approached he nodded approvingly.

Jumping back to the present he smiled at her praise for the accommodations. [color=00aeef]"I am pleased you like them. A library? Yes, there is one here. James didn't show it to you?"[/color] He wondered why James had neglected to show her the library.

[color=00aeef]"Follow me and I'll show you."[/color] Orren pulled his cloak around himself and walked out into the main landing in the house.

Opening the door to the library he was surprised to find it emptied out. [color=00aeef]"JAMES!" [/color]He bellowed loudly with a growl that would likely scare Adelina. He momentarily forgot she was there and watching his anger. He heard a door close across the house and he repeated himself.[color=00aeef] "JAMES!"[/color] He yelled with his voice echoing off of the walls.

James appeared with his usual finesse. [color=orange]"What do you need Orren?"[/color] He realized where Orren was and his voice got lower.

[color=orange]"Orren I can explain."[/color] James stated as he approached. [color=orange]"Your father-"[/color] James jumped backwards and gave a frustrated look at Orren.

Orren practically growled and his eyes flashed and turned an angry shade of crimson. He roared [color=00aeef]"What did my father tell you to do? You do not report to him! You are MY best friend. THEY left me to be turned into this- this MONSTER." [/color]

Orren turned toward the library and saw Adelina. His eyes stopped flashing and he looked crestfallen that she had seen him like this. He couldn't help but believe she would run away and leave him. What normal girl wouldn't? His heart tore at the realization that he would be stuck as a demon forever as soon as she left. 

Orren turned and ran, his cloak swirling out behind him. Once out of sight he went up into the tower and locked himself in.  Orren would stay up here for days. Adelina wouldn't see him for a week at least. 

Orren's sudden disappearance left James staring at Adelina. [color=orange]"What I was trying to tell him was that his father asked me to send some of the books to him at the other house and the others I boxed up so the library could be repainted."[/color] James looked at her and with a sad smile he said, [color=f7941d]"I should have told you. It was supposed to be a surprise for his 20th birthday. Will you help me with it?" [/color]

James tried to comfort her in case she was thinking of running away. [color=f7941d]"Orren often goes up to the tower when he is upset. He doesn't want you to see him this way. He is very sensitive to the effect his appearance has on others and the fact that his family abandoned him- Well, it can't hurt much more than that can it?"[/color]
