Reforging Old Bonds [TWTWB]

Virgo steps out from a door a set of clothes neatly folded in her hands. She spots Zwei and starts to walk over to him "Master Zwei, I have been looking for you. I see you managed to find your clothes. Saves me a bit of trouble. Master Shem is at the door. He seems to not believe you are alive. You might want to show him some proof." With that Virgo heads toward the door she came from and disappears once again.

"Yes he probably would be sad, and worry about me everyday, but I can convince him somehow. I may need some help from you though, just for a little reassurance."Lucina smiles and picks up the sword, Aetherium, leaning against the bed and walks over to the window allowing light to touch it. The sword begins to glow a bright orange which signifies it is being charged by the suns rays. "Thanks Marshall..."

Zwei gave a respectful nod of his head before dissapearing into a room and slipping his old and much cleaner clothes back on. After a few moments of wresting with his coat and pants he was clothed in his regular winter clothes. Now that he was clothed in his preferred attire he set out to find Shem and prove that he is in fact alive to his old friend. Of course all the aimless wandering he had done had made him quite familiar with the halls and it didn’t take long for him to find the front entrance and begin "speaking" to Shem. Of course speaking to Zwei wasn’t much and all that came out of his mouth was "Shem...".

Shem looks down at the child and just looks at him. "Nice son." He said to Kaitlin. Looking up seeing a somewhat familiar masked man walk up to him and say his name, the red in his eyes overlap his green and in one quick motion, Shem grabs Zwei, flips him and slams him into the ground, shattering the tile. "WHY!? WHY DID YOU GO TO THE ARCTIC ALONE!?" Shem yelled in a darker tone of his voice, letting his emotions that he holds in out. Blinking, his eyes return to normal and his face changes back to emotionless. Knowing that Zwei could take the slam, he kneels down next to Zwei on the ground. "You're such an idiot....I missed ya." He said letting out a hand.

As Shem kneels down next to Zwei he can feel a cold touch on his neck followed by a small trail of blood flowing down. Next to him stands Virgo how had appeared out of nowhere. Unlike her other appearances she no longer had her same emotionless face. Now here face showed only pure rage. "Master Shem, I recognize that you are a guest in the house but I will not have someone breaking the tiles or damaging the furniture. If you desire to have a fight I ask that you take it to the garden." Virgo removes the knife wiping a bit of Shem's blood off the blade and leans in close to whisper in his ear. "If you do not abide by these rules I would be forced to clean up a large amount of red from these tiles." Virgo leans back and once again has her emotionless face. SHe takes out a notebook and rights a few things down before tearing the paper off and handing it to Shem. "The bill." Without waiting for his response Virgo turns around and leaves heading toward one of the many halls of the home.

A small laugh leaked through the mask but was mostly muffled as Zwei took Shem's outstretched hand "...Sorry..." escaped from his mouth as he begin to remember the time he spent with Shem before he left for the artic. Even the time he was held over the cliff was a memory Zwei looked on as a happy memory. Another muffled laughed escaped from the mask when Virgo appeared. "Missed you..." escaped between catching his breath.

Kaitlin smiles at their interaction but then makes a pokerface when the maid threatens Shem and hands him a bill. Nice maid... she threatens people I'm kinda scared for Arryn and Marshall now...

Aeden was patiently waiting for Marshall and Lucina to finish their talk when he heard heard a slam far coming from the direction of the door. "What was that?" Aeden opened his scroll to send Virgo a message but she had beat him to it. 'Master Kase, Master Shem and Master Zwei have met with each other they are near the door.' Aeden closed his scroll as a smile formed on his face. "That explains the noise." Aeden looked back at the door to his bedroom. I trust Marshall will do the right thing. Aeden turned away and started heading to the door. After a few moments he had arrived and saw Shem and Zwei. He waved over to them a huge smile on his face but caught site of the broken tiles on the floor. "Shem you are not very good with reunions are you?"

Marshall could not deny that he was happy to hear his mothers decision but he turned his face away to not let her see the slight smile on his face. Marshall began to head toward the door but stopped with his hand on the door knob. In a lower volume Marshall whispered "No problem...mom." unsure of whether or not she heard him Marshall quickly opened the door. "Ill be out here if you need me." He quickly closed the door behind him and looked around confused as to where his father was.

Lucina remembers Zwei is over and she should probably keep a close eye on him to make sure that he doesn't break or mess up anything. She looks at what she is wearing and decides to change into her normal apparel. She walked outside the room walking into the main hall to see what looked to be Shem and Zwei and some broken tiles. She grimaced and walked out spotting Aeden. She walked over to him and whispered. "What's going on here?"

Shem rubbing the back of his neck then cracking it stands up and looks at Aeden. "Sorry about the floor. Ill arrange some money to be sent for repairs." He said looking at the bill.

Aeden looked back at Lucina and made a smile seeing that she was no longer sad. "It was just Shem and Zwei saying hello, nothing to be worried over. Virgo told me that Shem and Zwei had met up. I had expected a more loving reunion" Aeden looks down at the cracks on the floor and holds back a small laugh. "But this seems more like Shem's way of handling things." Aeden leans in close to Lucina and whispers into here ear. "I take it things went well with Marshall?" 

Lucina leans in and whispers to Aeden. "Just perfect, I think he finally accepts me now, but I need to discuss something important with you after we have dinner and the guests leave."Lucina leans out and says to Shem. "Shem,you don't have to pay, that's just Virgo being Virgo, we'll handle it."

Aeden looks at with smile, he heard she needed to talk but was more concerned about her relationship with Marshal. "Fantastic!" Aeden turns back toward Shem and Zwei. "Well now that everyone has arrived this seems like the perfect time to have dinner. Aeden opens his scroll and sends Virgo a message. 'Virgo, it's time for dinner. Please inform all the guests to gather in the dining room and tell the other maids to set the table up.' Aeden closes his scroll. "Virgo should be informing the others about dinner and having them gather together."

"Dinner sounds great, Although I have no idea whats being made. I certainly can't cook a dinner."Lucina lets out a small laugh as she hands him a note which would read, "Meet me in our room after dinner, we have to discuss the important matter I was talking about before. -Lucy" Lucina adjusted her evening gown and opened up her scroll checking her mail which grew as a habit to her, just like energy drinks.

Aeden takes the note and quickly reads it before pocketing it. "I'm sure the chefs will prepare something amazing." Aeden turns around and starts to head to the kitchen wondering what Lucy will tell him. 

((Time Skip))

Everyone had gathered at the table and were waiting for dinner to be served. The seating was arranged as following. Aeden at the head of the table, to his right sat Lucina, followed by Marshall, Dante, and Cat. On his left was Arry-boo, then Malina, Shem, and Virgo. Across the table at the other head sat Zwei. "Ah its good to see everyone together again."

"Well not everyone..." Shem said fiddling with a fork. "Indigo cant be here. The kids and stuff." He continued, while keeping Virgo in the corner of his eye. "Your place looks fantastic as always..." Shem said monotonally with a hint of kindness. Slowly standing up from the chair he turns to Aeden, "Excuse me, I have a call to make." He said, pulling out his scroll and walking to the other room.

Arryn gets up from the table excusing herself saying, "I gotta use the bathroom, be right back!"She grabs Stabby off the table and skips off to go to the bathroom but before she knows it she bumps into something or someone. "Ow..."She rubs her head as she stands up from the floor. "Arryn, be more careful ok?"

Shem felt a light bump behind him. He slowly turns towards the "assailiant" with red flaring eyes. Looking down at the attempted killer he turns the rest of his body, showing Arryn his strength......then immediately falling to the ground onto his back. "AHH! SHE GOT ME!" Shem yelled faking pain. "Arryn, you have grown in power since I last saw you! Look what you did! Brought Uncle Shem to the ground without even trying!! Oh the pain!" Shem "writhed" in pain. Reaching into his labcoat pocket, he pulls out a lollipop. "Take this......You......deserve....it." Shem said fake dying.

Arryn notices her uncle Shem 'die' and she reaches out and takes the lolli. A large smile appears on her face and she laughs. She says, "Daddy! I beat uncle Shem! I really did!"She cheers and tries to wake up Shem by poking him lightly. Lucina smiles and remembers how good Shem was with kids. "Haha, Good job Arry-Boo!"

Aeden uses all his willpower to not stand from the table and hug Arry-boo from the sheer amount of adorableness she produces. Instead he just makes a huge smile at Arry-boo. "Congratulations Arry-boo and If I recall correctly by laws of House Drakur, Uncle Shem has to listen to anything you tell him." Aeden looks over at Shem with a wicked smile. "Isn't that right Shem or would you deny an order from the victor of such a spectacular battle?"

Shem standing up, brushing his coat off, opens his scroll and sends a message to Indigo saying he will be late coming home. Closing the scroll he walks over to Arryn and kneels before the little girl. "What will you want me to do, oh powerful Arry-boo. I am at your service."

A small muffled chuckle escaped his gas mask as he watched Shem writhe on the floor but it wasn't loud enough to seem sarcastic. His weapon was leaned against the wall across the room and had been cleaned by now. He slid up his gas mask after a few moments a began munching on the food in front of him. "Thanks...."

Arryn smiles and says, "Well, I order my sire to give me a piggy back ride!" Arryn looks over at Shem with a certain look that says, 'I'm cute, give me what I want'. She says, "Pweaaaasseee!?"

"If you say so!" Shem said grabbing Arry-boo from the sides, tickling her and lifting her onto his back. "Comfortable mi'lady?" Shem said in his monotone voice with a hint of happiness.

Arryn laughs and almost falls off of Shem but regains her balance on his shoulders. She smiles and says, "I feel great!"She looks at Aeden and says, "Daddy! Look how tall I am! I'm bigger than you now!"She then looks over to Marshall and says, "I bet Marshall can't even beat me now!"She sticks her tongue out and laughs. She reaches up and touches the expensive looking chandelier hanging in the room and continues to smile ear to ear.

Shem looks up at Arryn. "Be careful, dear." Shem said to his "neice". ((lazy...deal with it))

Aeden let out a small laugh seeing Shem and Arry-boo get along so well. "Arry-boo I'm not sure anyone could stop you now." Aeden gives Shem a serious look. "You'll make sure she doesn't get hurt right Shem?"
