[hr]

A horse neighed in the distance as well as the sound of many galloping. Calbert was arriving with an entourage as always. His favorite dark-blue coat waved behind him as he approached. There was a look in his eyes possibly unfamiliar to his daughter and slightly startling to his son. 

His black horse came to a stop with a nicker at the sight of Crystal. He climbed off abruptly and came to stand before his two blue-eyed offspring. Calbert hadn't expected the two of them to find it each other so soon but after a nightmarish night, he supposed he was down on his luck. [color=0072bc]"Hello Crystal, Cassius."[/color] Despite Crystal having her guards with her, he hadn't called off the several watchmen he had around Caesonia. 

His gaze fell on his sweet daughter and his shoulders slumped. His expression moved with the sympathy he felt for her. This was probably so overwhelming. All he wanted to do was keep her happy at this point. There wasn't much to be done with an ordeal like this one, but at least he could come to explain as quickly as he could. [color=0072bc]"Cassius is my son from a previous marriage. "[/color]He took in a deep breath before continuing, [color=0072bc]"I did not have contact with his mother after the marriage ended...Nor knowledge of her and Cassius's whereabouts... I had supposed I would never see him again, but he's returned. His mother has passed now and he needs to stay with us. I know it's a lot to take in, my dear, but he is family..."[/color] Calbert's eyes slid to Cassius, [color=0072bc]"Please treat each other as such."[/color]

Calbert paused for his children to digest. He rested a hand on Crystal's shoulder comfortingly, [color=0072bc] "Do you have any questions, either of you? If so, please make haste. Crystal, please don't forget about the Prince's Court event. It would be a lovely opportunity for you and if you want to make it in time, I suggest that you go to your carriage very soon."[/color]
