Sending a signal that I'm here

Melanie listened. Well, she could see what one would use the power for, or maybe not why - but why one would remove it. If someone knew how you felt, your problems - it could be a great block if you planned an attack, to know people's secrets. But right now she didn't want to say that, so she kept it to herself, Cassian was already going through a great deal of emotions that she wasn't even sure he completely understood. She had been through it so many times, it happened when you had children, you got more worried to a point where you felt like you could almost die yourself of that feeling. She nodded a little bit as Cassian announced who the one reaching the front door as. Over all, Melanie was just happy that Cassian had someone in his life that he felt like he could call in the middle of the storm. The next sentence made the beta press her brows a little bit together, yeah - it sounded complicated, but she just chuckled a bit nodding, gesturing him to go answering the door.

Daisy looked around not really sure where to go in, but the second the door opened and she saw Cassian, she almost ran over towards him to embrace him right away. Just for a moment before she got to greet everyone. A big house, rather strong aura, she licked her lips a little bit. But she could push all of that to the side, her own worries and just focus on being here for Cassian right now. She had her arm around him, not really fond of the idea of letting him go. She leaned her cheek against his upper arm, before looking up towards him. They just needed to get Ash here now, and then explain things to him, then Cassian could sit down.

It didn't take long before the door opened and both Elias and Ash stepped through it. Ash didn't really have time to be impressed by the party trick, before his eyes looked around. He looked at the beta werewolf first, his head almost aching by the sensations of death hanging there, before he moved his eyes towards Cassian and Daisy walking over towards them. "Where is he?" He asked surprisingly calm, but one should not be fooled because his eyes were desperate.

It was almost as he could breathe as soon as Daisy closed her arms around him. Feeling how tension slowly glided out of his body, not that it took it all away. But it clearly helped him that she was here. He walked inside, just in time to see that Ash was walking through the door that Elias had walked out off to find him. Cassian let out a soft breath looking towards Ash that wanted to know where Sebastian was. Which was an understandable request. He nodded towards Melanie, as he wasn’t completely sure where they had taken both Camila and Sebastian. Walking with her up the stairs towards the room where a doctor and nurse came out looking towards the group of people making a small nod. “His resting, but we have taken away all of his wounds and now it’s only the mind that needs to rest, which we are not sure what outcome will be of that right now, we will have to wait for him to wake up, we can’t pretend that this isn’t going to be hard for him, as the torture he extended, it was horrible and cruel and taking away the wounds is one thing, the pain still stays and the mind, it is a fragile thing” the doctor explained looking towards Ash and Cassian. “You can go in and see him” the doctor gave a soft smile and opened the door letting them look inside to see that Sebastian was lying in a big bed, washed up and in new clothes. The doctor however took Melanie’s arm. “We are however also having problems with Camila, she was already fighting because of being turned to a werewolf, this isn’t good for her mind” he whispered, leading Melanie towards Camila’s room “We can’t get her fever down” he mumbled, opening the room as the nurse kept taking pain away from Camila and changing a cold press on her forehead.

Melanie told them to follow her and thereby walked back upstairs where they were met and briefed by the doctors who had taken care of Sebastian and Camila. Ash was worried sick that was clear, and sometimes it was the worst thing about being a doctor yourself, you just got the small details here. Ash was the head of neurosurgery, he knew the mind was a fragile thing, it was also one of the reasons him and Daisy were doing the research and project they were going. And maybe it was just not the best place to be Ash, wanting to blame someone or at least just being able to lash out, but by now Daisy had worked with Ash for some time and she knew small signs of him being annoyed by other doctors - mostly when they didn't give him the answer he wanted or needed in the moment. So, she reached her free arm out and placed it on his - luckily enough for Ash not to snap - for now at least, also there was someone far more important than Ash' ego right now. Torture, pain - why would anyone even go the lengths to harm Sebastian - he didn't understand that, but sure he wouldn't rest till he found out a way to make sure the person paid. But right now, he let those vengeful thoughts settle.

They were allowed in the room, and Ash didn't waste more seconds nor really allowed the doctor to say the full sentence before he already had walked into the room. He rushed over to sit down by his son's side and took his hand holding it. Just looking at the sleeping young warlock. Daisy took a deeper breath in, giving Cassian's arm a little squeeze before following him into the room. It was never easy. Things like this weren't easy. She remembered how worried she had been when Katelyn had recovered after that New moon, how Maya as well had recovered from that too after being bitten. Daisy looked back shortly to the doctor talking to Melanie. Now, Daisy got up walking closer to the window, wanting to just listen for a moment so she closed her eyes. She wanted to make sure that no one here was going to fall in the hands of death anytime soon. And with the practice of her powers in this area, she had an easy time tabbing into the sounds in the walls, but she hated the feeling. It was always cold and uncanny, but she could open her eyes back up - knowing at least death wasn't in the cards no matter the state - at least not today. "I will just go out and call Eden," Ash then announced before letting go off his son and stepping out of the room. Daisy walked back towards Cassian and sat down next to him.

Melanie took a sharper breath in. "Elias, go get your brother - he might have an idea if there is something we can do to help her," she waved Elias off before going into Camila's room. Melanie walked over and sat down taking Camila's hand, feeling the pain she was in still. Being forced to turn just after the new moon had passed - it was no fun experience, and not for a turned werewolf, she had seen many try, and not everyone actually lived to tell the tale.

Cassian had no idea how to react to all of this. Some part of him was ready to go outside and let Ash take out his anger, sadness, and guilt out on him. He could take it, and he had done it before. Well for others. He let his eyes wander towards Elias as he walked with his aunt towards the other room where Camila was in. He had never really understood why Oliver had acted the way that he had done. And he understood very well why it had taken as hard as it had done. It hadn’t really made great bonds between the Jones and the Radclyffee family. At least he still had Melanie on his side, making sure that the family could still talk. Well, he had Antionette that he could talk in the Sinclair family. But that was a battle that none of them would end up winning. They just had to accept that. Just like they had to accept that none other than the people that had taken Sebastian and Camila last night, should be to blame.

The warlock made a small nod when Ash said he was going to call Eden. Sounded serious if he felt the need to call her, not that he really had understood what was going on with the angel and Ash. He wasn’t going to try either. He sat down beside Sebastian, placing his elbows on his thighs folding his hands together and placed his chin against his hands.

Leon was stepping out of the library as he heard people going upstairs. He had stepped outside and looked towards Sarah that looked more or less like she was just going to collapse on the sofa. After a little back and forth he finally got her to go into a room and sleep. That was when he heard the motorbike drive up towards the mansion and the smell of a beta stepping off walking towards the door. Pressing his brows together he walked over and opened the door, ready to throw this person on its elbows. But how she looked at him as she turned around. Almost knock the air out of him. “Sorry I mean no disrespect at just wandering into your territory, but I heard, Cassian called me?” normally Selene would just have demanded to get in. But one thing was that she was hot headed, but she wasn’t foolish. Far from it. Besides, Irina had spilled the beans, and the last thing she wanted, was become enemies with her family. Leon forgot that he could actually speak for a moment, which was odd, because he was never the man to be overwhelmed by another person’s presence. Selene looked behind him as she saw another man walk towards them. Leon turning towards Elias that probably had come after him to get him to help with something. Selene exhaled not really happy about not being let in, so she could see Sebastian. “Please, I need to see Sebastian” she almost begged, looking from Leon to Elias, Leon nodded and stepped aside “He is upstairs, we’ll walk with you” Selene nodded and breathed out “thank you”

No, the guilt wouldn't leave, it didn't mean she hated he was drowning himself with it. But as parents when something happened, you always felt like you only had yourself to blame. But she also knew, she couldn't and wouldn't tell him how he should feel. It wouldn't fix anything. Maybe once he woke up, they could at least see and know his state of mind better than looking at him like this. Daisy placed her arm around Cassian, kissing his shoulder before leaning her cheek against it. "One step at the time," she whispered softly. There wasn't much they could do, no matter how much they wanted things to just be alright - she knew the chances of it would be slim. "He just needs a little bit of rest," she whispered closing her eyes a little, she had no idea how it had looked, or how it had been for Cassian to find Sebastian like that.

Elias made it down the stairs to see Leon talking to someone or someone talking to Leon that was. "You must be Selene?" He clicked his tongue a little bit, after all he had been in the kitchen when Cassian had asked Melanie if it was alright. "It's Camila, Melanie asked me to get you, they don't know quite what is wrong," he informed Leon rather quickly before looking towards the other beta again. Of course she wanted to see Sebastian, Elias had after all listened to why Cassian found he wanted to call her. Elias nodded a bit, "yeah, come along." Then he turned around passing the distressed demi-god in the hallway, who just stood there with the phone in his hand -- not even calling just standing there against the wall taking everything in. Elias gestured Selene towards the room where Sebastian was in. Daisy looked slowly towards Selene as she came into the room.

Cassian nodded and looked towards Daisy with a thankful smile. Thankful that she was here, that he had her in his life. Because, if he had to be honest, if he hadn’t. He had no idea how he would have been dealing with this. And if at all.

Selene nodded towards Elias that asked if she was Selene. Leon looked towards his brother, pressing his brows together when he told him that something was up with Camila. Which also earned the interest from the beta werewolf, mostly because she knew that Camila was the name written on Sebastian’s collarbone. That she had stayed away when she had figured out that there was a new woman in his life. Mostly because he deserved a person to be there. To give him what he needed and was unproblematic. Something you couldn’t say about Selene. She was as trouble and problematic as they came.

Leon nodded and walked ahead to go to the room where Camila was in. The good thing about being a werewolf, you always knew where everyone was.

Walking with Elias to the room, she passed Ash. She stepped towards him, wanting to say something, but ended up just placing a soft hand against his shoulder before she walked up the stairs to where she knew Sebastian would be. With her heart in her throat, she walked in. Seeing Daisy and Cassian looking at her. She had been heartbroken, she had been shot almost killed, and then killed at the hospital. She had laughed and rejoiced. She had been angry and shouted. She had even contemplating taking her own life. Knowing it wouldn’t help, because she would just respawn another place. But seeing Sebastian lying there, it reminded her of the night where she had dragged him out of the bowling alley and brought him to Cassian. She didn’t even care that eyes were on her, as she took of her jacket, and without further thought, she crawled into bed with Sebastian and put her arms around him, placing her forehead against his. “I’m here, it’s going to be okay, you’re strong and need to fight, Sebastian, please fight” she whispered softly. Closing her eyes. Cassian had to look away, as it was like everything just hit a little harder.

Daisy took a sharper breath in, watching how Selene took her jacket off and climbed into the bed, embracing Sebastian. She breathed a little bit out looking at Bash and Selene, listening before looking towards Cassian that looked away from it. Daisy just pulled Cassian closer towards her, allowing herself to fully embrace him without saying anything, just being there. Because this was brutal. This was cruel, the wait. This kind of waiting was the worst of all. Daisy closed her eyes and just begged that Sebastian soon would open his eyes and they would be able to know more. She could feel her own eyes getting wet by the emotions in the room, the worry she had been filled with the whole morning starting to crack through her, but it was alright - there was no need to pretend that this wasn't hard when it was. The knocks on the glass from the window made Daisy turn her head a little as the parrot Micky - Sebastian's familiar desperately as well tried to get in. Effortlessly Daisy used her telekineses to open the window and let the familiar in and close the window again. Micky rather quickly changed into his money shape and crawled up and rested just above Sebastian's head.

Elias walked into the other room with Leon, where Melanie looked back at them. "It's like her mind is caught in a transformation - it won't settle down, and she - is still in pain," Melanie informed licking her lips a little bit. She had felt the other beta had made it here, but she still trusted Cassian's judgment when it came to having invited her. "Usually I would suggested a full change in this state of mind, but I don't think she will survive that - so any ideas are welcome." Melanie looked towards her nephews hoping they had an answer, because she was running out of ideas.

There was no way, in this entire life that was going to be pulling away Selene from Sebastian. Maybe she wasn’t the person that should be lying here beside him. But she didn’t care because she needed to be here. Something in her entire body was screaming, letting her now that this was right, this was all she could do. So, it had to be helping? Closing her eyes, she felt how Micky crawled around by Sebastian’s head and lied down. Cassian knew this would be a long day, or days. It all depended on how long it would take before Sebastian would wake up again. Everything would stand still until he did.

Leon looked towards Melanie as she started to explain what she thought was going on with Camila. He breathed out and walked towards her. “There is no telling what really happens in a body when you can feel it shut down, like it does when your mate rejects you” he whispered looking towards Melanie giving her a small smile. Knowing that she had come to care for the women as she had hung around the pack, gotten familiar with both Melanie and Damian before it had even come to the point where it was a matter of life and death. And that they had to wait until the full moon before they could actually save her. That had to leave something behind, that could be triggered. But what did he know, he wasn’t a doctor nor had any training in that department? He walked over. The only thing he did know, was feeling emotions, because of his gift to manipulate with virtues. “I can try to give her hope to fight through it, but other than that, we just have to trust that she will get through this on her own” Leon said and let his hand rest against the sweaty palm of Camila. Sending Hope through her being, letting it extent to the rest of the house. Let everyone feel the hope, drawing it in and use it to believe that even though everything felt hopeless there was still hope to find and to have.

Daisy wondered if she could tab into Sebastian's head with one of her powers, at least ease his mind from the distress it tried to push through. Giving him a nice dream, yet she also didn't do it, because she knew it could as well just make everything worse. So, yes, despite hating this they just had to wait. Right now she just hoped it was the last extreme thing happening today, that Maya had the situation with Wayne under control and nothing would happen there - because she couldn't split herself into two at this point. But no, she wasn't leaving Cassian. And she needed to trust Maya's words about having this under control.

"I'm here okay?" a soft mumble left the young warlock, not that he was awake or even seemed to be aware of the fact that he was speaking, "alive and kicking." He pressed his brows a little bit together, "It's alright, you got me," his voice still low hoarse even. But it was like his mind just played moments to him that had some sort of emotional state to it. "You will never lose me," he breathed out a little heavy, rather unsteady, still with his eyes closed. Then there was a moment of silence: "But I agree, you do have almost as nice hair as I do," he mumbled a little bit. Daisy looked towards Sebastian, very observant of how he spoke. It could just be sleep talking after all, but it was the way his voice changed that made it sounding like something from a memories rather than a dream.

Melanie didn't like not having the answers to a problem, she didn't like not knowing how to fix something. Especially not when it came to people in the pack, she had turned Camila - and therefor she also saw Camila as her responsibility, not just because she was in the pack, but also because of that. Give her hope, they could all use a little bit of hope now couldn't they? It reminded her shortly about Remiel, of course she could have prayed to him and hoped for him to give her some sort of sight on how to deal with all of this. But she hadn't spoken to him nor seen him in ages. But she felt the sensation of hope spread in her chest making her look over to Leon and lifted a hand up towards his shoulder giving it a squeeze. "Thank you," she appreciated his help always, and knew sometimes it seemed like his kindness was tanken for granted but it wasn't.

Cassian looked up, as his son started to talk. But after a while he could see that it was not because he was awake. He saw how the female wolf, put her arms around Sebastian and pulled him closer. Letting her hand glide over his hair, as best she could without disturbing Mikey too much. Feeling how the small hands from the monkey grabbed hers, almost as if it was using her to make sure, that nothing would happen. Which was weird, the familiar would know better than her. So, maybe she was wrong, and it was for her that he took her hand. Tears started gliding down Selene’s cheeks as she realized that it was words, he had told her when they had last seen. Where they had kissed each other, where they had told each other that there might never be another person that could fill the spot in their hearts. But in the end, they needed to move on. Because every moment had a moment in their life, where they could grab it or let it pass. But that didn’t mean that Selene would ever stop loving Sebastian. She had told this to Walter, but that didn’t take away the love she had for him as well. It just, made all of this so much more complicated. “I know, and you will never lose me” she whispered, placing a soft kiss against his temple and then closed her eyes again.

The last words made Cassian stand up. “I’m sorry, I need some air” he whispered, as he remembered those words. It was from the first meeting. When he had seen Sebastian walking towards him, and he had known. Even as it shouldn’t be possible, he had known right there and then, that it had been his son. And it had torn him apart, exactly this had been something he had feared, and why he never had wanted kids. He walked out of the room and looked towards Ash as he passed him to step outside. He wasn’t sure that he would ever be able to forgive himself for this.

Leon looked towards his aunt and gave her a smile as she thanked him and nodded slowly. Breathing out as he looked back at Camila that seemed to breathe a little easier. That was at least something. Then the room started to shake, widening his eyes he looked towards Elias, as if he could even do something like this. But it was at this point a very easy thing for Leon to do. Blame his brother for everything that went wrong. A bright flash of light formed in the room, as he shielded his eyes, he saw a white golden wings that was folded in and in front of them stood a strong auraed angel. What on earth? Leon took a step back widening his eyes. Who the hell? “I’m sorry, seems like I managed to mix the rooms up” Eden breathed out in her still heavy accented English. Clearly disoriented as if she had been somewhere far away before coming here. Leon just stood there with his mouth slightly hanging open. She was an archangel, there was no doubt about it. But why on earth was she here? “I’m here to see Sebastian and Ash” she clarified and was about to walk out of the room as she turned towards the werewolf laying in the bed. “Oh dear” she whispered and walked over spreading her hands over the young woman’s chest. A dim light formed around the chest and for a moment Camila stopped breathing before she almost gasp after air and feel down again. A smile formed around Camila’s lips before it seemed like she was much more peaceful. “Now, excuse me” Eden said nodding to all of them before she walked extremely graceful out of the room and passed the room Sebastian was in. But before going in there, she walked down to where she knew Ash aura were. As soon as she saw him, she ran over to him and pulled him into a hug. “I’m here, I’m so sorry, I’m here” she whispered, placing a hand behind his head and pulled him closer to her.

Daisy looked up towards Cassian as he stood up, and folded her lips a little as she watched him walk outside, then she looked back at Selene and Sebastian before getting up from the bed. One thing was sure, she didn't want to leave Cassian alone and despite it seemed like Selene had Sebastian - so he was in good hands. She walked out the room letting her eyes meet with Ash who pointed towards the location where Cassian had went, and walked outside. Daisy didn't know what to say or if she even should say anything, because no words could really make up for the emotion in the room or how you felt. But she wanted for him to know that she was right here, and she would always be right here. "What happened to him is not on you, it's not," she breathed out looking towards Cassian. Knew in the mind of someone who didn't found themselves other than guilty, it were foolish words - but in the end it was true. Cassian was not responsible of the action someone had taken to harm Sebastian. "Talk to me," Daisy took a small step closer looking towards him. Because keeping everything in, well she knew for a fact it could make you and everything about you explode.

Elias looked at Leon the second the room started to shake, then raising his brows - he couldn't be blaming him for this? Oh well of course he could, it was Leon. The light however, was almost enough to blind the werewolves in the room. Melanie blinked a little looking at the beautiful archangel in front of her that asked for the other room. But before she got out she returned and did something to Camila, made her seem even more peaceful than before. Melanie looked up towards her nephews not really knowing what to say about what just had happened. Before then focusing on Camila again.

Ash could feel Eden's aura within seconds, and it already made it easier for him to breath. He opened his arm and held her close. Just needing to have someone close right now. Ash didn't understand why. Why choose Bash? Why would anyone seek out to cause him harm? "It's his mind - " He breathed out. One thing was the mind getting hurt in something like a crash, some sort of pressure - pure medical, he could fix that, undo curses and such - but this, he couldn't do a thing. Now he knew that Laila did possess some sort of mental healing, but he wasn't sure if it even was too much to ask of her to try - if it would help, but he knew there was a chance it could help. But he just held Eden close not really knowing what to feel or think right now.

It was like he couldn’t breathe. Walking back and forth on the porch. Pulling at his collar, as if it was slowly choking him. He understood where the feelings were coming from. The fact that he had killed his own wife. The blame that had been put on his shoulder when Philippa had blamed him for her miscarriage. Because he didn’t want kids, so why hadn’t he been at fault? Well, maybe he was just bad luck. And the ones around him was just bound to either leave or die. Everyone was chasing immortality. To have enough time to do everything, but at what cost? A human only ever experienced so much trauma. While one that lived for ever, could go through every single one in the book. Multiple times. So how much before you snapped, and couldn’t carry the load on your shoulders?

Talk to me

He turned around and threw out his arms and felt how tears glided down his cheeks. “And say what?” he almost begged her to give him the answers, even though he knew she couldn’t do that. Nobody could really say anything that would take away the pain or guilt of this happening. “This happened because of me, because of what happened in Southside, and I wasn’t there to make sure that he was guarded and protected, so how is this not on me? Who Daisy? Can you tell me, how I should not blame myself that my son is up there fighting his own mind, because they took his powers away!? They took, they took” he broke down and sat on the bench out front, buried his face in his hands as a small sob left him. “I can’t lose him” he whispered, almost hopelessly.

Eden held Ash closer, pressing her cheek against his. “Sebastian is a strong kid, and he will also have the means to heal his own mind, trust that in him” she whispered, closing her eyes knowing that it was torture not to be able to do anything. But sometimes, the best things you could do, was wait and let things correct themselves over time. Not that she didn’t trust her daughter to help with mental problems through her powers. But just because you. Had the power to do something, there was also wisdom in knowing when not to. “But I’m here, and I’m not leaving” she moved a little away, letting her hands find his cheeks, letting her thumps caress over his cheekbones. “I’m not leaving” she pulled his head towards his placing her forehead against his.

Daisy took a sharper breath in, looking at him. Not because she knew what he was supposed to say, but for him to let out the thoughts that ran over his mind wanted to leave in wrecks. She didn't interrupt him, she knew better than that, but it tore her heart apart seeing him broke down as he sat down on the bench,  to see him like this. Daisy exhaled slowly before walking over to him, sitting down on her knees in front of him. "You are not going to lose him, okay?" She gently placed her head towards his, and took a deeper breath in. "If anyone can fight through this, it's him. We have to believe in him, and believe it will work out, okay?" Daisy closed her eyes a little bit as she took a deeper breath in. If it wasn't for the times she had been about to give up about her and Nigel would ever find Maya again, but Nigel had never given up - and look where that, now they had her. "And Sebastian is very lucky, because he has two amazing fathers who cares about him, and only wants him the best. And you are the persons he will need when he wakes up," Daisy exhaled slowly, letting her hands caress her arms. "I know it's a lot, I know - just breath. I'm right here, what ever you need."

Ash knew Sebastian was tough, the boy had been through so much lately - and sometimes Ash colored himself blind to not realizing when something was off or even wrong. It was time like this where Ash thought himself as a terrible father, and who was a worse critic than Ash himself? He had countless of people who in the past that eyed him for being a single father taking care of three children while having the job he had - how he possibly couldn't do a good job. Maybe they had been right. How could he possibly have been enough for them. If he had just been honest, letting Sebastian know his roots when he Ash had figured out - perhaps Bash would have had an easier time fitting in, and understanding who and what he was - not ending up like this. But he was close to just breaking down as Eden told him she wasn't going to leave. So close, but he didn't. He just pulled her in closer standing here in this moment taking all these overwhelming emotions in.

He couldn’t say anything. It was like something was pushing down on his throat, making it physical impossible to even let words appear from his tongue. He knew this feeling. As a panic attack started to roam over his body. This would end badly, which meant that he got up from his seat. As lovingly as he could, he took Daisy’s hands away from his body and walked over the grass in the garden that extended itself over the giant mountain landscape. That had always been the problem with being the child of two very powerful magical creatures. His father such an ancient warlock, and his mother. Well, she had a greed for power and had tried to channel it while she had been pregnant. Pulling on the power from the full moon, each month of her pregnancy with him. Hoping that her sons and daughters would be even stronger. Well, it made him so much more unstable, that was for sure. A scream left him, and a long crack formed by his side as he unleashed some of the pent-up energy that was inside of him. Which was impressive given that it had been the new moon yesterday. And he had already teleported back and forth a couple of times. But one should underestimate the grief of a warlock. He fell down to his knees, and could feel small peddles rise around him, before they fell down again. As cries left him, as he let himself break apart completely.

Eden

Eden had always been an intuitive woman. But after she had gotten the status as the archangel for forgiveness. It was a completely other story. Feeling, as if it was her own grief and hatred burning just under the surface. She knew that Ash blamed himself, he didn’t even need to say anything. Blamed himself for not being there enough. To prioritize having both his kids and a career. Needing to show the world that just because he was the child of the god of the underworld, didn’t mean that he took life for granted, and wanted to make sure that people got the best care. Getting new chances to live their lives when it was almost taken away. He was one of the best fathers she knew, and she hated that he always had a reason not to believe it. “Don’t do that” she whispered, holding his face a little tighter, letting her fingers dance against his hair line. “Don’t blame yourself, not for this, not for all of it. You are, a wonderful father” she whispered against his lips. “And the only reason I never told you about Zadkiel and Laila, was because I was afraid and didn’t dare to put you or them in danger, but never because I thought you weren’t the best candidate” she added “You, Ash Mitchell, are one of the best men I’ve ever met, and I love you with every fiber in my body”

Her eyes followed his movements as he got up, and moved her hands from him. She didn't resist, not much, she let him walk away over the grass, and she kept herself seated. Even if the ground underneath her was rather wet and cold, she kept seated there, just watching him fall apart. Daisy blinked out a tear hearing the scream he let out, almost feeling the energy from where she was sitting, then again. Daisy had always been able to withstand and hold great energy, more than people thought should be possible. She knew the longing just to scream and let it out when it became too much. It didn't mean it didn't hurt to see others struggle with it. But she still remained sitting on the ground that by now was freezing cold, however, she was unable to take her eyes off him. And for all she wanted to run over to him, hold him close, but she also didn't want to over step. But she was where she had said she would be; which was right here. There was nothing more that she could do right now.

Ash

Ash looked towards Eden and took a deeper breath in. Sometimes he hated how she could look right through him, knowing how he felt, and other times it was nice to know she understood some things on another level. He looked into her eyes, kept looking into her eyes. Finding some sense of comfort. Well, even if it would have been so that Bash' fate hadn't been to be amongst them, he would have found a way to let him stay. Even if it had meant making some deal with his own father. He would move mountains it if meant to keep Sebastian here. Hopefully it wouldn't come to it, and he didn't doubt a second what Cassian would do for Sebastian either, or Eden even Daisy for this matter. For a moment he even wondered if he should call Jezebel. But didn't even know what she would do in this situation, or how to react to her being here. Ash breathed out as Eden the love of his life told him, that he was one of the best people that she knew, making him exhale a little bit. "I love you, more than you know... thank you for coming." He breathed out.

Sebastian

It was like a cold, not just cold. Freezing, like drowning over and over again. Voices. Voices everywhere, then no where. Darkness. Darkness where he was left alone. And once in a while he saw something, flashes from a faint memory that he tried to run for. He ran and ran, tried to reach out for it. Crying out loud, but nothing happened. He was just there, along in the darkness. Pain. there was a sharp pain shooting through him, making him want to scream. He was just wandering around in the darkness till he saw something, or he heard someone, felt something. Some sensation of warmth, like a blanket that seemed to light just a little light far far away. Sebastian turned towards it, started running. It was exhausting, and at some point he fell. "Fight" He looked around. He knew that voice. And then another flash, he was so sure it was the flash of his fathers, making him turn around, trying to call for them, but nothing, nothing but the echo going back to him. No he had to be smarter than this. He had to be better than this, this wasn't the right way out.

Sebastian sat down in his own little mind space. Just sitting down closing his eyes, focusing on the warmth he felt. Focusing on what he wanted, he didn't want to chase a tail that wasn't his to catch, it was just a waste of time, no he had been playing mind games before. He had seen how they worked, and nothing worked if you didn't just let it in. So, that was what he did. He just sat with his eyes closed. Till they...

...Suddenly opened and he gasped. He clearly hadn't realized completely where he was first, his eyes wide opened like a deer caught in the lights of a car. His breathing completely out of it, trying to find a way to calm himself, then his eyes landed on Selene and he felt like he could breath out. He settled a little. "W - what happened?" He asked, his mouth still dry, mind still confused.

Elias had heard the boy had woken up, and went down the hall way, informing the demi-god and the gorgeous archangel, saying he had heard Sebastian had woken up. Then he ran towards outside seeing Daisy sitting down. "He is awake," the banshee nodded, finally getting up from the cold wet ground and walked towards Cassian. "He is awake," she informed with a lower comforting voice, reaching her hand for him if he wanted.  "Let's go check up on your boy."

Eden

A soft and short chuckle left her, as he told her that he loved her. Maybe more than she knew. She wasn’t sure that he could hide that away from her. But she also didn’t argue, because it also meant the world to hear. One should never take away the feeling of hearing someone say that they loved them out loud. “No matter what happens” she calmly said “I would always come when you need me, nothing is more important to me, than you and my children” she explained. Knowing that it had taken some time to adjust to all of this. But she wasn’t about to become Remy or Michael. She was going to do her duty, and she was going to help humanity against evil. But not for the cost of her family. Never.

Eden turned towards the young werewolf as he came down the stairs. Young. Of course, he was much older than most of the beings in the house. But compared to Eden, and the female witch that was around here somewhere. Then, yes. Young indeed. “Let’s go see to your son” she whispered, letting go of Ash and waited for him to walk first before she followed.

Selene

She was quick to react as Sebastian suddenly opened his eyes and gasped. She leaned up so he could see her. A soft smile formed over her lips, as her hands glided over his face. “You’re safe” she whispered moving a little giving him space. But not more than she could stell look at his face. Feeling how tears once again welled up in her eyes. “Stupid boy” She mumbled, leaning down kissing him on his forehead. “You’re safe” she just repeated, turning her head towards the door as people started coming into the room. A small selfish feeling wished that they could be alone, just for a little while. But she settled on moving away, sitting on the bed beside him. Letting people get closer without having to move around her. Looking at the woman she hadn’t met before standing by the corner giving Sebastian a smile, one could only find at a mother.

Cassian

He had no idea how long he was sitting there. Just letting the feelings penetrate him and let them out, the only way he knew how. Then she felt how she came closer, and he managed to move his energy back inside. Not lashing out as he had done a little while ago. Looking up as she told him that he was awake. “yes” he whispered, getting up from the ground, not caring that he was cold and soaking at this point. Walking with her back inside, up the stairs and into the room. Stopping as he looked towards the awoken Sebastian in the bed. A relaxed smile formed over his lips; he could feel relief sink over him. Even though it was a little overwhelming standing so close to an archangel. But he could put through anything, as long as Sebastian would get through this.

Ash chuckled a little bit, he actually managed to chuckle a little. "Some of them are our kids, I would just like to point that out," he licked his lips a little bit. Even if some of them also weren't by blood, he still saw Eden's children as his own, had always. That hadn't changed. They were still his family. Then werewolf walked by saying that Sebastian was awake, so he looked towards Eden shortly be, she said for them to go see him. He couldn't agree more and quickly ran up the stairs, almost about to take a tumble, but luckily didn't before he was inside the room looking at Selene giving her a soft nod before he was over sitting next to Sebastian giving him a warm smile. Sebastian almost surprised that his father was there, because then how many days had passed them? Or had he found a way? His eyes searching a little bit around, he saw Eden as well giving her a small smile. But it wasn't the person that Sebastian was looking for. He held Selene's hand tight, almost afraid that if he let go - it would all go away. But as she sat up, well.

Stubborn as Sebastian was, he forced himself to sit up. He still looked around, he could see, it wasn't that, but things were moving so slow compared to the natural speed he usually had seen people act with. Sebastian let himself fall into his father's embrace closing his eyes for a moment as Ash just placed his arms around him. His eyes caught onto his other father as he stepped in, he remembered Cassian had gotten him out of their, just when it had seemed like the last spark of hope had gone out, he had shown up. But unable to find his words, which was very unusual for Sebastian he couldn't anything but reach out for him to come over as he moved a little bit back from Ash' embrace. Because right now he just wanted to have his fathers close to him. He could feel eyes burning with tears that wanted to explode of relief of being away from that place that had held him for what felt like ages but had been hours, not even a day in total. Daisy placed a hand on Eden's shoulder breathing out, glad she had made it there - she hadn't seen Eden after before she had died. That day, Daisy did remember that day too well - everything after that was small stories about her from Archie - but she hadn't believed it completely til she saw it right here and right now.

It was like everything had slowed for Cassian. Not really knowing how to react, as he saw how Ash was hugging Sebastian, after he had gotten up in a seating position. That he was still holding Selene’s hand. Everything was very overwhelming, and hard for him to process. Which was the main reason for him to stay this stoic. Eden looked towards Daisy, giving her a sad smile. She would have wished for their reunion to have been more joyous. But you couldn’t always get it as you wanted. Letting herself do her duty as the archangel of forgiveness, she walked over towards the Cassian, and placed a hand on his shoulder. Trying to dim her powerful aura, not to make it to overwhelming. Now the warlock had been friends with Remy, for a long time.  He had even been there to take his wife when she had died. They had met first time back in Egypt when he, and funnily enough he now remembered the woman. Eden, one of the angels that had killed the firstborn Egyptian sons. He felt how she slowly took away some of the guilt and granted him insight in being able to forgive himself. At least a little. Eden then stepped back, looking towards Daisy, and before she was able to stop herself, she pulled her old friend into her arms and placed her head on top of Daisy’s.

When Cassian saw how his son looked at him. Then he finally got his feet to move. Walking towards his son, each step a little quicker before he was close enough to pull him into a hug. Feeling tears run down his cheeks, almost crushing Sebastian towards his chest. Nothing would take away the pain that they had all felt. But it helped feeling them alive in your arms like this. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner” he whispered still not letting go.

Daisy nodded a little thankful towards Eden, not knowing what she did or perhaps had done to Cassian - but she trusted Eden, she still trusted her, so she hugged when embraced. Just breathing out for a moment as she looked towards Ash, Sebastian and Cassian that walked towards them as he realized that Sebastian was reaching for him. She couldn't help but feeling the situation somewhere familiar like she had seen it, or more like experienced it herself before. She had once been the young girl taken, waiting to get saved or get out - her father had died trying to rescue her. So, she was happy seeing the result of this, that they were all together. And Daisy had faith in Sebastian would overcome what was to be battled. And he would have one hell of a support team. Breathing out, but everyone was feeling overwhelmed.

The young warlock couldn't hold back his tears the second he felt, saw and realized how overwhelmed everyone was. It took him longer than it usually did, which could of course be excused. The tears began to escape, run over his cheeks, forcing his heavy arms up to wrap them around his father as he was pulled into his embrace. Sebastian closed his eyes for the moment, pulling him a little tighter. "But you came," he almost gasped a little. Sebastian didn't dare to think about what would have happened if no one had came, what if he had given up and it had been too late? Ash felt his own tears, taking a sharper breath in relieved that Sebastian at least for now was sitting up, talking even if he seemed a little disorientated - it was something Ash saw as normal after waking up from something like this. Sebastian still didn't let go, not yet, he just needed a moment more.

“Yes, of course I did” Cassian softly spoke, as Sebastian told him that he had come. Of course, he had, he would never leave Sebastian knowing that he was gone. He would go to hell and back, to make sure that Sebastian was safe. He had known that the moment he had laid eyes on his son. Knowing, before it being confirmed that this was indeed his son. It didn’t take years and seeing a family member growing up. To be their father, it just took that single moment of knowing they existed. And you would use yourself as a human shield to make sure they never got hurt. Now, he hadn’t been able to make sure that Sebastian didn’t get hurt, but he had gotten him back.

“And you’ll be okay” he mumbled, before after quite some time finally letting go of Sebastian. Placing a warm hand against his cheek and nodding before he stood up. Looking towards all the people that was standing in the room. It gave a sense of understanding; just how many people would gather together to make sure that someone that you cared about was okay.

Selene breathed out taking Sebastian’s hand again, giving it a small squeeze. Just happy that they didn’t have to wait long before he had woken up. Leon walked into the room, giving everyone a smile and nodded towards Sebastian. “I just wanted to tell people that I have made coffee and tea down in the living room. Those that need to sleep or gather strength we can arrange you a room while we wait for Sebastian to have enough strength to go home” Leon nodded towards Cassian that seemed like he was just about to faint from exhaustion. Eden released Daisy from her arms. “Maybe you should get him to lie down” she mumbled with a slight faint of a smile. Looking towards Ash, seeing what he would rather do now. Stay put, go down and get something to drink or go and find a someplace to just lie down for a minute. It didn’t seem like Selene was going to go anywhere. Cassian nodded towards Daisy and then looked at Cassian “If you need me, just get them to get me, yeah?” he said with a soft smile and gave Sebastian’s shoulder a squeeze. “I’ll stay near, until you get better” but to be fair, he really was exhausted after everything that had happened over such a short period of time.

Sebastian breathed out  looking towards Selene as she took his hand once again, before he looked around at everyone. It was still so weird. Even though Sebastian was overwhelmed, he wasn't overwhelmed on a scale anywhere like he used to. He could of course see they were relieved, scared, but everything else was not up to him to search for. He couldn't cover the tracks, and even so he tried, it had been so easy beforehand just by looking at any of them to know just how much they had been through - but right now, he couldn't pick up on anything. Which was a relief on its own and horrifying. Sebastian however nodded, after all being working in the field, wouldn't it be something if he didn't believe in someone being able to work through their trauma? Then again, it was always something being the one in the chair rather than the person giving the answers and tools.

Sebastian looked towards Leon, and gave him a little nod. Well, of course he had talked with Lexie about her newfound brothers. So, he knew how they looked, which reminded him of Lexie - he hadn't seen her here yet. Daisy breathed out and let go of Eden looking towards Leon, "thank you," she gave him a small smile before returning her eyes to Cassian nodding a bit to Eden's words. "That's the plan," she breathed out a little low. Giving him a small nod, Sebastian took a deeper breath in exhaling. His head still spinning a little but knew rest was the way to go, at least Sebastian could see that. "I will," he breathed out, before Daisy walked over giving him a soft smile, before she placed her arm around Cassian to get him out of the room.

Daisy escorted him to the nearest room, the one that was the closest to Sebastian, so in case of anything they wouldn't be far. Walking towards the bed, wanting to make sure that Cassian got some rest. She sat down by the bedside keeping her eyes observant towards him.

Ash took a sharper breath in having watched Daisy and Cassian leave the room. "You should get some more rest, give yourself some time to make a full recovery. And then we can take things as they come okay? Call us if you need anything," he gave Sebastian another hug, before getting up. "Coffee sounds good about now," he looked towards Eden before then looking towards Sebastian and Selene. Walking downstairs he grabbed a cup of coffee and looked around, before turning to Leon. "Where is Lexie?" He then wondered. He knew she was here, because Elias had said so, but Elias hadn't really explained more than the situation with Sebastian and that was even very briefly.


Sebastian breathed out as people had left the room, the room still heavy with emotions he closed his eyes. "You know I can't see - or I can see. Just not how I used to," he mumbled a little bit not laying back down, he wanted to sit up for a moment. Micky crawled up on his shoulders leaning against his cheek. "Hey bud," Bash breathed out before looking towards Selene. "We have to stop meeting like this," he cracked a little laugh, mostly a pained laugh, but it was there. Last time he had been standing looking at her fighting not to die after getting shot, before that he had been burned out - and now this.

Cassian let himself follow Daisy as she guided him towards an empty room where there was a bed, he could lie down in. For a moment he just stood there, before walking towards the made bed, and just fell into it. It didn’t take long, after he had closed his eyes, as fatigue washed over him and he couldn’t stay away any longer.

Eden & Leon

Eden walked over and lean down, giving Sebastian a small kiss towards his temple, before she followed Ash down into the living room with Leon. Hoping that just sitting and talking would give a sense of serenity that everything would turn out alright. Sitting down in the sofa with a cup of tea Eden let out a small sigh, before looking towards Ash as he asked where Lexie was. Now, the reaction in Leon’s face almost didn’t tell you anything. But she was still sure, that she caught unto something that wasn’t as it should be.

Leon let out a soft sigh and leaned down to take his own cup of coffee. Of course, he was from a family where death was rather – common. So, the fact that Lexie had died the day before. It wasn’t really as big of a deal, then to tell her father that. Oh yeah, by the way yesterday Lexie died, because she overcharged on her ability because she met her mother and relived the trauma from the night they had died. Or almost died. “She is sleeping, Iris is with her right now” he said with a small nod and took a sip of his coffee. “A lot happened yesterday as well” Leon breathed out “It turns out that Sarah, her mother, was saved that night as well, and Lexie met her yesterday, a lot happened but, she is okay and recovering” he added, trying not to say in so many words what horrible things had gone down. Because one thing at a time.

Selene

“Yeah?” Selene mumbled, not really understanding what he meant able to see as he used to. Maybe she wasn’t meant to understand right now. A soft sigh left her as she looked towards Micky as he crawled up on Sebastian’s shoulders. Selene nodded softly “We really should” she mumbled letting out a sigh. Leaning her head against his. Pressing her nose softly against his cheek. She hated that she had missed him this much, but were also grateful, that despite everything. They always knew they could count on one another.

Camila

It felt like her whole body was sore and overworked, because of an extreme workout. Or that she had been in a car accident or just run over a couple of times. Everything hurt. Even if she could feel that something had lifted, it didn’t feel right. Nothing about her body felt, right. There was almost a burning in her head, and the swarm of whispers from ghost and spirit close by, telling her that she needed to be careful. Paranoia formed in her chest, making her heartbeat faster than felt right. “Hello?” she whispered with a hoarse and used voice, feeling tears spring in her eyes. Scared, she was so scared. “Anyone there?” her eyes slowly opened, still feeling the aftermath of having fire to close to them, almost burning her cornea.

Ash was not prone to this family did have some heavy curse over them. He could see it just by looking around, both Leon and Elias had such cloud of death on them. Lexie had however explained the curse to him, so he knew a little bit more about it, amazing and scared by it - he didn't know how to tell what had happened last night. A lot had happened, could mean many things. Lexie's mother was alive as well, he could only assume it had been quite a lot. It had been a shock for Lexie to know her father had been alive, but she had taken it rather easy. "A lot?" He pressed his brows together, clearly not satisfied with the lack of what had happened, but perhaps it was also for the best not to lay too much on the demi-god despite him being rather bitter about not knowing the full story. But he was a father, a worried father, who happened to have two of his children gotten hurt over the last two days - how had this even happened. He just took a sip of his coffee, stayed silent which was also a huge thing and turned to sit down to take a deeper breath in. He took out his phone to call Aleks, just pleased to know he was safe. Informing him that Sebastian was awake, and that both him and Lexie were resting. Then he hung up, at least he knew that Nicole was with Aleks.

Sebastian

It was a sad story between Sebastian and Selene, a rather sad one really. And it was also an odd one, because despite him knowing his mate was not far away - the person who were supposed to be his faith, it didn't change the love he felt for Selene - love like that didn't just fade away just because you didn't see each other for a couple of months. And sitting here reminded him of all that, not sure if it was for better or worse. Yet, he knew they wouldn't be. She was happy, he could be happy too - and maybe one day he could look at her without feeling the heart ache that followed with what never could be. He took a sharper breath in. "I heard you," he whispered closing his eyes and exhaled found the comfort in her being close to him. Settling him down and calming the chaos that wanted to sneak up on him in the shadows of his mind.

Melanie

Melanie sat by the window just looking outside for a moment. Waiting for Camila to wake up, listening into the other rooms, making sure that people were as comfortable as they could be. She had never been patient, but she was glad to know that Cassian's son had woken up. Time would tell how his mind would handle suddenly missing an ability that could tell you so much about people. The second that Camila's voice echoed though Melanie's voice she stood up from her seating by the window and walked over towards her. "Hey," Melanie breathed out slowly and took thereafter a deeper breath in. "I'm here. You are safe now," Melanie assured her, gently running her hand over Camila's hair, just like she had done the night on the full moon when she first had turned her  - and after her first transformations. "I got you."

Eden reached out her hand and let it gently touch Ash, as he was clearly still taking everything in. Which was normal, both of them were rather well versed in seeing all stages of grief. And how people didn’t go through them all at once, or in chronical order. There wasn’t a determined way of going through losing someone or knowing that someone that you loved were hanging on a thin thread. And you had no idea how it would affect them down the line. Dying or not dying. Leon nodded slowly when Ash tried to make him clarify that something had happened. “Lexie overextended herself with her powers, and weren’t able to control it, and that made her collapse, she is alright, just very tired” he added, then nodding as Ash seemed rather determined to call someone else, so Leon sat down and grabbed the book he had left on the table, after he had went up and told everyone that they could relax in the living room while waiting for people to gather strength.

Selene

She would lie if she told anyone that it had been an easy choice. Choosing Walter over Sebastian. But when it came down to it, she couldn’t just walk away from Walter, and Sebastian didn’t deserve that. He didn’t deserve someone that wasn’t sure. That wasn’t prepared to leave everything behind and be with him. Maybe it was foolish to take that choice for him. Because somewhere, she had an inkling that he might be willing to compromise. If it meant for them to stay together. At least for a little while. Which had been the reason why she had distanced herself. Because when some people loved like they did, and were drawn to one another, like they had been? It was a fire that would never go out. It would burn forever. Even if it wasn’t possible to unite the two flames. But for now, she let herself push Walter out of her mind. And just stay with Sebastian, just like she had done when he had overextended himself. Almost killed himself with burning out. “I’m just glad you’re okay” she whispered, not needing to know what had happened. As long, as he was here, talking, and awake. She knew that he would be able to fight through everything else. She leaned a little back, letting her hand glide over his cheek into his hair. Pushing it back, turning his head so she could look him into his eyes. Placing her forehead against his, so close that their noses touched.

Camila

She felt somewhat at ease, as she heard a familiar voice, tell her that she was there. That she was safe again. Camila groaned, turning her body so she could better look at Melanie as she walked over and let her hand glide over her hair. Camila gave her soft smile, and for a time she just let herself feel the soothing that came from someone slowly pushing your hair back. Then it hit her, Sebastian. She sat up, making her groan once again in pain, letting her hand glide over her stomach. There was that thing about, even though the wound and damaging had been taken away. The phantom of the pain still lingered. And it didn’t take away that she felt like someone had run her over. “Sebastian?” she whispered, looking at Melanie “his okay, right?” having no idea how she would react if he wasn’t. “Okay, okay I got to see him” she mumbled, forcing herself out of bed. Not taking no for an answer. It was a situation of, either you help me get up or stay out of my way. She just needed to make sure. She had heard him tell her, that she should just leave without him. He had told her that he was expendable. Afraid that he might give up, and not fight. She couldn’t bear the thought. So, through sheer stubbornness she managed to walk all the way to the room and pushing the door slightly open. Not having time to think about that there was another scent in the room and an aura that wasn’t Sebastian’s. Until she saw them sitting in the bed. It was like, for a second time stood still. Flashbacks to when her mate had been in love with someone else. Now this was different. She wasn’t a witch anymore. She couldn’t have a mate, even though she had heard about wolfs choosing mates much like witches had one destined to be with. She breathed out letting a soft smile form on her chest. Perfectly masking the waves of emotions that she was going through, as the woman just pulled slightly away looking at her. “Sorry, I didn’t mean – I just wanted to see with my own eyes, that you were okay, get well soon fast, yeah?” she whispered nodding still with a soft smile on her lips. Turning towards Melanie, the smile disappeared. “I would, very much like, to go back to my room now” she whispered, placing her hands on Melanie’s arm walking back to her room.

Ash placed his cup of coffee on the table and just took a sharper breath in leaning all the way back closing his eyes for a moment. This was a lot. It really was, but there was nothing he could to but wait. Funny how when you said it to loved one of patients you didn't think much about how they felt in the situation, but sitting here yourself, it was torture. The worst kind of torture, not knowing the outcome other than knowing they were both alive - which was of course a blessing on its own. This was not how he thought his afternoon in New York would look like, far from. Reaching out to hold Eden's hand giving it a little squeeze, not really sure how to circle around in this right now, but he would get there. At least he wasn't shutting himself off.

Sebastian & Melanie

"Yeah, I will be okay. I think," he breathed out. Right now it was just him thinking it was the aftermath of what had happened that he wasn't able to see like he had used to. So, he wasn't putting to much thought onto it other than he knew he needed rest. But Sebastian also knew he had to believe that he would be alright. That he could heal from this. He let her move his head towards hers, finding the dangerous comfort in her forehead placed against his. Sebastian closed his eyes and took a deeper breath in. Then the door opened and he looked to the side to see Camila. Sebastian breathed out, relieved to see that she was alright. Despite her not having been the first thing on his mind, it didn't mean he hadn't been worried - even if his mind hadn't made it to that point of his process of all this. "Y - You too," he barely had time to talk to her before she turned around again. And Sebastian took a sharper breath in.

Melanie had followed her stubborn friend but stayed out of the room, there was need to step in. It was pure wolf instinct from Melanie to not take out another beta on her territory - not because she saw Selene as a threat, because she didn't - she barely saw other alphas as threats, but it didn't mean she took it likely having other werewolves around that weren't a part of her pack - at least not in her home. Especially not when she saw Camila's reaction to seeing Sebastian with the other beta. Looking in her eyes caught the other beta on the bed, and there was just a moment of silence where she just starred at her. Well knowing it wasn't going to solve anything and she had given Selene permission to come over  - and snapping at a guest wasn't really going to do any good. But seeing Camila being upset about them didn't make it easier. Melanie was also very sure that she other beta knew she was being watched in this second. And hadn't it been for the hand on her arm from her friend, it could have ended with a bit more than just a stare. "Yeah, come on," she placed her arm around Camila to provide her with the support she needed.

Melanie got Camila back to bed and took a sharper breath in. "One word you know - one word and she is out of here," she pointed back towards the room - it would at least be excuse enough for Melanie. Not sure if it would go in good ground with Cassian or Sebastian. "Can I get you anything?" Melanie then asked looking at Camila.
