She was holding her books tightly as though he was going to try and rip them from her hands. [color=1e4fff] “My father did not cheat on my mother…”[/color] She added feebly. Just as Cassius was about to respond a figure appeared. The man looked like the poster child of young nobility. He was the perfect blend of pretty and strong. Momentarily, Cassius saw nothing but another entitled noble in this man…but there was more to be seen. On the surface he seemed mellow and elegant, but there was something else about him resting a bit deeper. He was a warrior. Cassius was sure of it. He could always tell. The controlled movements…the presence of [i]adeptness[/i]...the eyes. He had no doubt that this man was a capable combatant. Thank heavens he wasn’t as boring as Cassius initially perceived. The man acknowledged him, but just barely. The arrogance alone won a sly smirk from Cas. The man cleared his throat and spoke…really just to the girl in the cream colored dress. [color=5B89A6]"I apologize; I can see this is not the best of times."[/color] He folded his hands behind him and seemed to struggle to find more words to say. [color=5B89A6]"It was lovely to see you. I will be by the stands if you need me, Lady Damien. And if you need any help, do not hesitate to call for me."[/color] As the man finished his bit, Cassius turned to his supposed sister. He watched her face blush and eyes fixated on the pretty man. Perhaps the pup was in love. [i]Noted[/i]. Finally she responded. [color=1e4fff]”I um ….T-thank you Sir Mathias..”[/color] was all she was able to get out. She was flustered. It was hilarious. Cassius looked to the ground. It was all he could do to not chuckle at the awkward cuteness of the interaction playing out before him. He was an asshole, sure, but he wasn’t going to ruin this moment for either of them. The man bowed, smiled, and walked away without any additional acknowledgment of Cassius at all. His sister watched him walk away like an abandoned puppy. She quickly turned back to him though, and picked her previous thought up like nothing had happened. [color=1e4fff]”There's no way I believe you at your word. Anyone can claim to be a part of a family. I'll let father deal with you.”[/color] Cassius watched as his sister looked to the behemoth with intent. He always saw the beautiful redhead with her draw a blade. He looked at the armed woman, raised his hands cautiously and smiled. [color=LightSteelBlue]”Now now…no need to cause a scene. Let’s all go to father dearest together shall we? Don’t get me wrong, I would [i]love[/i] the opportunity to get to know you and that blade a little better…but alas…me and the big guy are already courting one another.”[/color] He sarcastically motions to the giant of a man named Jacob. [color=LightSteelBlue]”So…I propose this. The two of you escort my dear sister and I to our father together. No blades. No bloodshed….and he’ll be able to clear all of this up.”[/color] He looks towards Crystal. [color=LightSteelBlue]”How does that sound my lady?”[/color]
