Exton

Watching Erik retrieve his wife makes Raina sit back and laugh. She never thought she would see the day when Erik would worry so much about someone else. Their father would be proud of the man he had become. Taking care of family was a very important part of their culture. No child was left homeless or orphaned; their father, for all his sternness, would not allow it. So she and Erik had grown up with siblings, half siblings, adopted siblings... it was hard to keep track of who belonged to who after awhile.

As Erik takes his seat he asks, “Just what is so funny Raina? Those hounds look like they could take down a horse with little effort...”

Raina leans over the table and kisses his cheek, “Actually, I was just thinking how proud I was of you. That and what to do about that vampire...”

Erik sighs and pulls Star close. “I was just worried...”

“I know. Its all right.” Star leans her head on his chest. Lobo wakes and wants in Stars lap so she lifts her up, letting the pup curl up.

Nick has kept his eye on the vampire and has overheard bits of conversation. Well, not conversation exactly. More like comments that Rath makes in the general direction of the girl.

He wrinkles his forehead and looks to Raina. “Do you understand Greek?”

Raina shakes her head, “No. Why?”

“Something he just said to her. Does Keon or maybe Ramji?”

“Maybe... we can ask them when they are finished with their meeting or whatever you want to call it.”

Nick nods. Mykros skylos... little dog... damn... is that going to piss Raina off when she hears it. I might be wrong, but I dont think so... Along with everything else he has said it appears that the girl is his 'guard' for lack of a better word. Watching over his sleeping place and helping to keep it hidden from others. That would make him old, very old. I seem to remember something about a Greek tradition involving a certain family from some island...
