Hearts Remembered

[Phelen]

*Phelen made a face but let out a defeated sigh* Fine I accept the terms. Besides I don't want Kelsey to serve me with dressing. *He sent the address to Hunter with the message Dad is cooking and it's gonna be great wanna join us?* Plus you meeting Hunter isn't a bad thing. I think you'll like her Dad

[Miranda]

*Mir was giggling at the fae playing in the pool when Dew whispered to her. She blinked, looking at him in surprise before she started toward the stairs and her own apartment* Rose watch everyone okay. *She knew she should stay, Kadrian would be there soon to pick up Twist but her Dad had been asleep for a long time so she wanted to see him*

[Hunter]

"Gladly, haven't eaten yet. I'll be by soon." *Hunter looked at the address once and had it memorized. She hopped up off the wall and started walking, she wasn't too far off, but it was still a good stretch of the legs.*

[tawny]

*He chuckles* Nah, you would be better with potatoes au gratin, extra cheesy. *He tosses a snap pea at his son* If you like her I'm sure I will as well.

[Phelen]

My dad has thought about eating me...words I never thought I would say *Phelen grinned like a fool as he took another big drink of the coffee. At the text messaged he smiled again, teeth showing it was so big* I mean, that isn't always true. Jim has turned out to be a giant pain in your ass. *He teased before picking up the snap pea* As long as I can keep her from falling for PJ or Mir I'll be set. *He didn't mention Georgy as a threat*

[Dylan]

After brushing his teeth he looks at himself in the mirror and has to force himself not to shatter the piece of glass with his fist. He looked like he felt, eyes hollow, feverishly glassed over, and slightly sunken, hair disheveled and bearing a strong resemblance to straw. He was very pale because he hadn't fed in far too long. He sighs at his visage. Get your shit together dickhead. He shakes his head and pulls a brush through his hair, tosses it back onto the sink then turns and leaves the bathroom.

[tawny]

Not you in particular, just human flesh. *He gives Phelen a crazy-eyed look, cackling like a madman before laughing at himself* Mir I get, but PJ... Don't get me wrong, I love the boy like he is my own, but damn, he is a player and a man-whore. Anyone would be better off choosing you. You didn't follow in your dad's or Uncle Yen's footsteps. Unfortunately that covers fashion sense as well. *He sticks his tongue out at Phelen*

[Miranda]

*MIr walked in the door just as Dylan walked out of the bathroom. She looked him up and down before sighing* You can't keep this up or you are going to rage. *She grabbed the blood stone off the counter and brought it back holding it out to him. He could probably still smell the strange visitors on her or possibly even the people she had been around the night before* I was going to go get Twi if you didn't wake up soon. *She leaned against the wall, looking him over*

[Hunter]

*Hunter had stood in front of the address and groaned. The girl had know it wasn't gonna be a first floor but not 20 floors! After what had been only a couple of minutes and found her self in the elevator.* Okay...I can do this..*She let out a breath and closed her eyes as the door closed. She focused on breathing and not thinking as she felt the elevator climb.*

[Dylan]

Sorry mom. He smirks at her as he takes the bloodstone Thank you. He puts the stone to his lips and takes a long pull from it. Instantly his color improves and when he opens his eyes they look less feverish How long was I out this time? He should be begging for her forgiveness, but the words were ash in his mouth. He deserved her disdain, he deserved her hating him, everyone hating him. His arrogance, his selfishness, they couldn't and shouldn't be pardoned.

[Phelen]

*Phelen chuckled at his Dad, shaking his head* Why doesn't that surprise me? *He chuckled again, grinning widely at Tawny* You are biased and I keep telling you I am too white to wear the clothes you guys insist on putting me in. We all know it. I look fine in jeans and a t shirt no reason to get weirder than that. But I still expect a warning the next time Uncle Yen comes over

[tawny]

*He laughs* You are just afraid we will catch you while you are asleep again.

[Miranda]

*Mir couldn't help the small smile that pulled over her as he teased* What can I say someone's gotta feed you and Gran's at work *She shook her head, before moving to sit on the arm of the couch* Long enough to worry, couple of months *She swallowed, trying to figure out if she should tell him or not* Uncle Jarik is back...so is Uncle Peter. Kira found them, brought them back. No word from anyone else

[Hunter]

*When the elevator stopped twice on the way up Hunter thought she was going to throw up but when she got to the right floor she had to stop for a second to calm herself. After another minute, she walked up to the door and knocked.*

[Dylan]

He thinks about that for a minute, his brain skipping over the meaning behind there being no word on anyone else. He still hadn't come back. Good, I'm glad they are alright. How are PJ and Jenny taking it? He look another draw from the stone, looking more and more normal with every passing moment.

[Phelen]

Yes *Phelen said plainly, not denying anything or bothering to fight the statement in anyway* Yes I am. *He glanced up when he heard the knock, smiling some* That was quick. I'll get it *He brushed his fingers through his hair before standing up to get the door. When he opened it he grinned at Hunter* Welcome Miss Secretary. *He noticed she looked a little green and opened the door up to let her in* Need something to settle your stomach?

[tawny]

*He smiles at Phelen's primping*

[Miranda]

Pj's excited. It's still an adjustment getting used to having his Dad around again, he's not sure how to act right now. Not to mention with everything else going on it's been confusing but good. Jenny's gone into super protector mode, at least when she can get out of work. She's been supporting all three of them for the last week or so and is spoiling Uncle Peter as much as she can. Uncle Jarik is still asleep at Veckah's. *Mir tried to relay everything as best she could, glad he was starting to look better* Oh and Twi is going to pop anytime. *Did Dylan even know she was pregnant?*

[Dylan]

He shook his head a bark of a laugh escaping him. Jesus, Twi a mother, that is fucking scary. At least it isn't Marco's kid. He pauses for a moment, really not wanting to ask, but having to. Have you heard from Shy?

[Hunter]

*Hunter happened to run a hand down her own hair. She did not inherit her mother's curls. She did indeed look a little pale as Phelen opened the door. She gave him a big smile as he invited her in.* Thank ya, Mr President. *She stepped inside.* That would be lovely. *There was a deep burr in her tone.*

[Phelen]

Welcome *Phelen nodded toward the kitchen, guiding her too it and the wonderful smell that was coming from it too* No problem. I'm sure we got something. Hey Dad what do we have for upset stomach and please don't tell me THE tea. *He wrinkled is nose as he stepped through the arch* Oh quick, Hunter this is my Dad Tawny Weng and Dad this is my friend Hunter McBaine *It was more than obvious that the two of them were not blood related*

[Miranda]

Yup, Aunt Twi a mother, of twins. Jadian is ecstatic and Uncle Mike is even more excited them him I think *Mir giggled softly, hair bouncing with the sound. When he asked about Shy the giggle faded away and no amount of acting in the world could have covered up the pained sour face she made* Da we both know if Shysie comes back you would wake up the moment she set foot in New York. *A long standing bitterness stained those words and her eyes picked up a brighter blue*

[tawny]

*He turns from the stove, wiping his hands on a dish towel* Ginger ale, in the fridge. *He smiles at Hunter* Just Tawny, my son is so formal. *He laughs and offers her his hand* Or are you a hugger?

[Dylan]

He sighs and nods his head Yea, I know, sorry to dredge it up. How goes the building of the court? Any new additions? Same old questions, same old rundown. If he would just say present they wouldn't have to keep doing this.

[Hunter]

*The kitchen smelled heavenly and her stomach growled a little. She gave the man at the stove a smile and showed no care of him not looking like Phelen. They had already mentioned some of lost parents.* It's a pleasure, Tawny. *Her Scottish accent was thick as she spoke.* I come from huggers, so I do not mind 'em.
