Thread: A Bloody Cause ( Ava & Valanaer)

The fact of their prior meeting had seemed to change things for both of them, the DeLune and VanBuran blood didn't seem to matter so much anymore, at least not on a personal level. The truth was it still mattered because one hint that he was within her castle and hell would reign down upon both of them. That didn't seem so important though and as he felt Gabriella take his hands he gave her a small smile, Yes, it's nice to meet you again as well. Didn't expect you to be a VanBuran but I must say, it's a pleasure. He was a bit surprised when she said she still didn't know his name, the fact that his family and hers were at war should have made him infamous, especially to her and her family. It was a bit refreshing though and he just chuckled a bit and spoke in a much calmer way than before, as if his natural kindness had been released from behind the wall of hatred and pride he had built up, My name is Seth, Seth DeLune. He gave a semi-nervous smile when he spoke his last name. Truth be told the situation did make it a bit easier to accept, she had been kind to him and saved his life both before and after she found out who he was, so now that they had realized the meeting of the past it just made it easier. After making a more formal introduction he took her offer and sat himself in a chair that was much more comfortable than his previous position, just sitting up making him feel better. I can probably make it to the room whenever, it will hurt a bit but I have endured far worse on and off the battlefield, trust me. As he gazed at Gabriella he saw her in a new light, her beauty not feeling as annoying as it had before, he was seeing one of the few friends he had made that was still alive and no longer a mere enemy. It was concerning at the same time but for the most part things were more positive, although her brothers visit was an entirely new thing now. With them knowing each other it would be harder for her if he was discovered and he couldn't allow that, he would have to be careful during the visit, especially if he was going to recover in the process. That being the case he just continued to look at her, that was not something he had to worry about quite yet and if she was indeed as fearsome as she believed herself to be, which he had a hard time picturing, nothing would be going wrong on her watch. As he sat in the chair he found himself enjoying the fire and the warmth soothed him, not to mention it made him feel comfortable as he leaned back, enduing the slight pain in his back until he found that sweet spot. Once comfortable he looked at her and shook his head, another smile rising on his face, It's hard to believe, the chances that we met each other, that we are members of families who have been at war for so long, and that we met in such a way... It wasn't a statement that required answers just his thoughts, and and while that was all the past it affected him quite substantially. In fact it was almost depressing to think that once he was healed he would have to flee back to his people and most likely never see her again and if so he would most likely have killed many more of her people fighting for his own.
