Lucien was glad Illyana had agreed, and watched the girl retreat back inside the bus with saddened eyes. He really wished this was something he hadn't had to do. Part of him might have preferred that her parents were here so he could give them a piece of his mind. Maybe it would have prompted them to treat her better.. but it seemed to them, running away had been a much better option. How cowardly.

He was snapped out of his thoughts as Faolan approached him. [color=burlywood]"Can you tell how long they've been gone, Faolan?"[/color] He asked, knowing how good his nose was. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked back at the empty house. 

[color=burlywood]"I.. think it's best if I talk to the neighbors.. to find out what happened. I really.. don't want to jump to any conclusions but.."[/color] He trailed off, knowing he didn't need to say anymore. 

Aurel's worry hadn't eased at Faolan's response, but he didn't ask further.. mostly because he knew right now they probably didn't have too many answers to give him. He nodded slightly at what he said, and had closed the curtains once more once he heard Illyana stepping inside. At first he was unsure of what he should say to her.. mostly because he didn't think anything he could say would make her feel better. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I'm sure.. that Lucien and Faolan will figure out what happened here.."[/color] He attempted to encourage.
