[sup][b]Interacting With:[/b] Cassandra Arvanitis ([@Caits]) and Seraphina Astarte ([@Vicier]).[/sup][/center]
[hr][hr]

Knowing he might regret listening to the voicemail Seraphina left behind for him, as it would only be a distraction, the Angel raised his phone up to his ear, letting the message play out. The more he listened, the more color drained from his face. Something had happened - something absolutely terrible. And she was screaming. She needed him. What if...

[color=lightcoral]”Dad? What is it?”[/color]

His daughter's unexpected voice nearly had him dropping his phone from surprise. He fumbled with the phone, cutting off the voicemail and hastily stuffed his phone back into his pockets.

[color=darkorange]"Cassie... listen to me. I need you to fill in for me for a while, okay?"[/color] He looked her over. Technically what he was asking her to do was illegal - but most everyone at the hospital knew who she was; knew that she studied under her father. He just hoped that no one would think twice about allowing her to check a temperature here and there and file some medical reports without him around. Not that he was going to tell anyone that he would be leaving.

He turned his body fully towards his daughter and got down on one knee, putting both hands on her forearms and looked up at her over the tops of his glasses.

[color=darkorange]"Something has come up and I have to go take care of it. So while I'm gone, I need you to take Sebastian's paperwork to the help desk counter and let them know that he has been released and that his parents need to be notified. In the notes section, I need yo to put that he is excused from school today and tomorrow and needs plenty of rest and water - no exciting activities. Prescribe him a two week supply of pain killers - you know how to do my signature. Gage is going to be getting him home, so Miranda is still with Syleste, okay? And after all of that is done, and I'm still not back, go ahead and check on Mr. Jensen for me, will ya? He's just had glass removed from his eye yesterday and is still in recovery but he's been doing fine. A standard checkup will do. Any questions just give me a call, but I really have to run, sweetheart."[/color] Xerxes stood himself back up and gave her a long, pressing kiss to her forehead, as though he never wanted to let go, cradling the back of her head. Whatever Seraphina called him about... it wasn't good. And given the activity from the night beforehand, he could only imagine that whatever happened, it might be related somehow.

[color=darkorange]"I love you Cassie. And I'm very proud of you."[/color] he told her as he turned to leave, hurrying down the halls to exit the hospital to find his car where he had parked it. He unlocked the door and hopped inside quickly, not even bothering to throw on his seat belt as he started it up. He had to focus - Seraphina never said where she was, though his best guess would have been at the vet. Still, he didn't want to waste any time by going to the wrong place.

[color=darkorange][i]Alright, Seraphina... where are you?[/i][/color] He cast a telepathic line out, trying to reach her mind. Once he could make contact with her there, not only would he know that she was still alive, but where he could find her. [color=darkorange][i]I'm coming, I just need to find you.[/i][/color]
