[i]Hell[/i], he'd done some screwed up things in the past in the name of finding his sister! But this was by far the strangest thing he had come across. He had no idea how he had turned up into the apparent basement of some building. But his snake esque eyes were locked on the bitch of a red head that had given his sister so much trouble earlier. Marygold had a strange way of talking that was sure, though why was she asking Remy where a Ms. Goody Two Shoes was? Of all people, Marygold was hardly one to talk. In fact, as he took stock of where everyone was around him, he found himself extremely worried. He knew some of these people, and he didn't know a grand number of them. But most of all, his gaze settled on Ayita who was perched next to him... Ayita Dyrkin smiled and flipped a page in her book, it was a thick thing that resembled a collage book, for that was exactly what is was. Ayita had been studying for the past few years in preparation to be a vet- her life time goal. Wearing a stylish black cardigan over a green blouse and well fitted black jeans, Ayita was lovely to look at, and she knew it. Her amber eyes flickered up as she studied the slight chatter about the table, before glancing over at her adored older brother. Beaming happiness turned to worry as she raised a brow, her mental thoughts brushing against Richard's mind. Not in the sense and images that Ayita usually used but words heavily strung together. [color=ForestGreen][i]"Brother? You look like you've seen a ghost."[/i][/color] It was the same Ayita, he would know her mind's feel of speaking anywhere but Richard was still knocked figuratively onto his ass. Startled by the change in sister. No longer was she walking the border between humanity and what nature and their [i]mother[/i] had forced her to become, but she was human. Human emotions fully contained within her. No long leaning towards that feral and wild nature and simpler way of life. Patting the solid shoulder, Richard was relieved that he could feel solid muscle beneath. No matter how she was the world was still dangerous. [color=Olive]"Perhaps I have."[/color] He muttered softly, leaning back and keeping his mouth closed tightly as he considered where he could be and what was going on. This is seemed to be one of those sit back and see which way the wind blows situations. [color=Olive]"What has been going on of late?"[/color] Or risk alerting his baby sister at least. Her loyalty had always been with him, surely that was still true? Ayita gave her brother a sideways look, looking a might uncomfortable herself at the question. [color=ForestGreen]"[i]You didn't drink that much at the club last night. Did someone slip you a drug?"[/i][/color] She hadn't sensed anything wrong with Richard the night prior but he was acting a bit strange for the carefree and arrogant club owner of Lux. [color=ForestGreen][i]"Remy called us all here for a meeting. I can't wait til we get back to home. I left my other book at Lux.[/i]"[/color] She saw his eyes flick to her. [color=ForestGreen][i]"What is it? You are acting like that time when you blacked out after News Years two years ago.[/i]"[/color] Something akin to confusion filled Richard's eyes as he was looking at her and Ayita didn't like it. Turning her attention to Chrysi and Remy she tiled her head. Her dark hair falling over one shoulder. [color=ForestGreen]"Want me to take a look around?"[/color] The young woman offered her voice soft and fitting far better with this softer version of her.
