Lucien felt Faolan tense... which he had expected. Gently he rubbed his thumb over his hand in an attempt to help him calm, but it was hard to not be angry after hearing something like this. He closed his eyes for a moment, relaxing in Faolan's arms as he felt him run a hand through his hair.

[color=burlywood]"Yeah.. I know.."[/color] He responded quietly. 

Faolan's response made Lucien smile a little, and look up at his beloved once more as he turned toward him. 

[color=burlywood]"You're right... We will do right by him. He deserves at least that much, and more."[/color] He said, his determination returning to his voice and he squeezed Faolan's hand. He would make sure Aurel got to experience all of the things he had missed out on as a child. He wanted to do his best to make that child happy. 

After all the time that had passed with the boy, Lucien could not imagine them going separate ways, even though that was something Faolan had originally mentioned when they saved him. It was natural to have him around now.. and Lucien had began to see it like.. they had their own little family. The thought of that brought a smile to his face. 

[color=burlywood]"Thank you."[/color] He said, leaning up and placing a light kiss on his lover's lips. His words had brought him further reassurance, as they always did.
