The nephilim was glad to see Faolan agree, although he could see his reluctance reflected in his eyes. raised his eyebrows slightly at Illyana's words. He could not help the smile that formed as Illyana described Faolan. Now a lot of things made sense, as to why the child felt a lot more at ease around him than most children. It seemed she could tell what kind of man Faolan really was. That.. made him a little happy. He glanced in Faolan's direction, his smile widening slightly. 

Aurel glanced over at Bengal, who he had left on the cot. He couldn't deny Illyana's words. The connections he had with the snakes was undeniable. He had never met one that he hadn't been able to immediately get along with. It was strange to hear someone make such a deep observation about him.. but that understanding made him realize why she hadn't feared the snakes when she first saw them. Lucien and Faolan had always understood that there was a deep connection between them but.. it seemed with Illyana she could tell it was much more than that. It was nice to hear there was someone out there who could really see how much they meant to him.

Lucien then turned back to Illyana. [color=burlywood]"Then, we can work together to find someone who may be able to explain all this to you."[/color] He said, before pausing for a moment. There was a little bit of hesitance reflected in his tone before he spoke again.

[color=burlywood]"After we.. accomplish this, what is it that you'll want to do?"[/color] He asked her. If she wanted to stay with them, of course he would not deny her, but she had still seemed to have wanted to come back home even after what her parents had done. Did she still want to go find them despite that?
