Lucien maintained his grip on Faolan's hand, not particularly inclined to release it until he absolutely had to. 

[color=burlywood]"I'll do my best to get the answers we need. What's most important right now is for us to reassure her that we will help her no matter what she tells us. I can tell she's afraid.. I want her to be able to trust us."[/color] He said. 

[color=burlywood]"She does appear comfortable with you.. it seems she's a fairly good judge of character. I'm sure she can see the kindness in you."[/color] He said with a small smile, before placing a kiss on his lover's hand. It was easy to see how much Faolan had changed over the years. He would smile more than he used to, and his expressions were more relaxed. It made him happy to see how much he had opened up.

Aurel gave Illyana a small glance. He could hear the slight quiver in her voice. This.. was clearly hard for her. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I understand... I'm sure there are some things that aren't easy to talk about.. just know that they will not be angry with you for holding back.. I'm sure they understand you had your reasons.. so try not to worry okay?" [/color]He told her, not really wanting to be the one to ask her anything else. He didn't want to make her cry.
