@avariciousaddiction I could not be more proud of you than I am at this moment.

[abecji]

No one was harmed.

I am ten dollars short, but the results were worth the money spent.

Which is why I am setting it free.

Godspeed, Daehyun. I am proud of you.

Who am I to get in the way of a little fun?

Father it is for science.

Daehyun, you know I support your education. But do be careful. We do not know where it came from.

[abecji]

What a waste of food... I suppose if proving it is edible is impossible, it must not be so.

[abecji]

I have given Wrinkles a bowtie.

The smile leaves, but her expression doesn’t damper per se. She looks indifferent, to Decimus’ plight, to Seunghae’s concern. It’s as though it’s simply another thing to do throughout the day, as concerning as checking a mail box or getting dressed. Brushing teeth.

She does decline the cigarettes however.

“나는 알고있다. 더 많은 지식과 지원을 제공 할 수 있다면 좋겠지 만, 이전의 지식이있는 것은 아닙니다. 나는 … 내 딸의 장소에서 몇 번이나, 아직 아무도이 병을 앓지 않았다.“ (I am aware. While I do wish I could offer more knowledge and assistance, it is not something I have any previous knowledge of. I have been… In my daughter’s place a few times, yet none other’s have had this illness.)

She waits a beat before continuing, tea cup down and fingers lacing together on her lap.

“나는 내 딸에게 일어난 일만 치료하는 방법을 알고 있습니다. 아들의 병이 내 딸의 능력과 관련이 있는지 또는 Yidhra인지 여부를 확신 할 수 없습니다. 그러나, 나는 그것이 다시 일어날 수있는 상황이 없을 것이라고 의심한다. 만약 그렇다면, 이제 아들이 나를 아는 것이 아니라 자신을 돌보는 데 충분하다는 것을 알았을 것입니다.“ (I only know how to treat what happened to my daughter. I am unsure as to whether your son’s illness has to do with my daughter’s abilities or whether it was Yidhra. However, I do suspect there will not be a situation in which it can happen again. If it does, I am sure now your son knows enough to let me, rather than himself, handle it.)

He listens intently, lights the cigarette now at his lips. By the amount missing in the package it’s not often he smokes, but the situation was dire. She seems to look indifferent to the subject. Seunghae isn’t sure if he should be frowning in disapproval or not. He chooses to keep his expression mirroring her own.

“나는 Yidhra에 익숙하지 않은데, 나는 그것이 다시는 일어나지 않을 것이라고 가정 할 수있다. 맞습니까?미래의 발견을 알려주세요. 나는 아이들을 안전하게 지키고 싶다.” ( I am not familiar with Yidhra, however I can safely assume it won't happen again, correct? Please inform me of any future discoveries. I would like to keep all of my children safe. )

And with that, the gentle smile has returned along with the liveliness in his gaze. Almost as if a switch had flipped. 

“나는 우리가 이것을 평화롭게 해결할 수있어서 기쁩니다. 나는 우리의 작은 대화를 즐기고있다. 자, 그는 스스로 회복 할 수 있습니까? 아니면 그에게 맡겨달라고 당신을 믿어야합니까?“ ( I’m glad we could settle this peacefully. I’m enjoying our little chat. Now, will he be alright to recover on his own? Or do I need to trust you to tend to him? )

[abecji]

amarulenxe:

“언제든지. 그것들은 나의 자존심이자 기쁨입니다. 아마 우리가 너에게 나에게 접근 한 것을 토론 한 후에.“ (Anytime. They are my prides and joys. Perhaps after we discuss what you approached me over.) That smile stays, doesn’t waver or strengthen. But, in her opinion, it doesn’t need to. Her children forged themselves, she can only ever be proud she was privileged she could watch part of that journey.

“저는 항상 제 딸을 걱정합니다. 심지어 그녀에게서 몇 년 후에. 내가 그를 완전히 믿지 않는다면 나를 용서해. 나는 자기가하는 일만 볼 수있는 동안 마음을 잡아주는 사람을 온전히 신뢰하지 않는다.“ (I always worry about my daughter, even in the years apart from her. Forgive me if I do not trust him fully, I do not fully trust anyone who gets to hold her heart while she can only watch what they do with it.)

A hum of acknowledgement on Seunghae’s end. He supposes that’s enough small talk to get straight to the point of their chat. His expression sobers. He sets his tea down and there’s a serious look in his eyes--bordering almost on cold. Fishing a box of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, he offers it in her direction.

“당연하지. 손에 든 문제로 돌아 가라. 대현의 병이 있다는 걸 알고 계시 겠지? 나는 전에 본적이 없습니다. 나는 다른 흡혈귀 품종의 결과라고 생각할 수 밖에 없습니다.” ( Of course. Back to the matter at hand. I’ll assume you’re aware of Daehyun’s illness? It’s nothing I’ve seen before. I can’t help but to think it is something from another variety of vampire. )

He pauses then, allowing his words to soak in before continuing.

“나는 그것을 치료하는 방법과 그것이 다시 일어나기를 원한다. 아무것도 더.“ ( I only wish to know how to treat it, and if it will be happening again. Nothing more. )

There’s a beat or two after Seunghae sips at his tea that Roslyn does the same. Of course, if there was something like silver in there she would suspect it wouldn’t hurt h like it would her. But it probably wouldn’t taste great either. 

She shifts in her seat. She compose herself like royalty, as though she had a head made for a crown. Perhaps she had one once. Anything’s possible.

At the mention of her daughter, her indifferent expression breaks. A small, yet genuinely warm, smile forming. She’s more than fond of her.

“나는 그녀의 속성을 나의 영향력이라고 주장 할 수 있었으면 좋겠지 만 자신을 잘 가르쳤다. 그녀는 나에게 아주 사랑스럽고 모든 아이들은 그렇습니다.“ (I wish I could claim her attributes as my influence, but she taught herself well. She is quite dear to me, all my children are.)

At the mention of Decimus, there’s a wave of her hand. Almost dismissive. 

“내 딸이 그를 좋아해. 나는 그를 벽까지 너무 멀리 몰아서는 안된다.” (My daughter is fond of him. I suppose I should not drive him too far up the wall.)

“우리는 공통점이 있습니다. 나는 당신이 물론 말할 의향이 있다면 그들에 대해 듣고 싶습니다.” ( We have that in common. I would love to hear about them, if you have the time. ) Another beaming smile and a chuckle slips through. Despite the suspicious company there’s a truth to him enjoying himself. It’s been far too long since he’s had company.

“그는 결점이있다. 모두가 그렇습니다. 그러나 그는 잘못으로부터 옳은 것을 알고 있습니다. Oxy를 놓치지 않아도 걱정할 필요가 없습니다.” ( He has his flaws. Everyone does. But he knows his rights from his wrongs. You don’t need to worry about miss Oxy. )

She is sure to return his smile when it shows, she can be polite. Often is in person.  She takes in as much detail about him as she can. He’s human, she can smell that much. Or at least, he is no vampire. He looks young…er than she’d expected. Fatherly for sure, looks more like a parent than she does. For some reason it bothers her.

She sits down in the living room when he gestures to the furniture, legs crossing at her ankles. Roslyn eyes the tea, unsure as to what is in it. Perhaps she ought to relax, what is the worst that could happen? She pours tea for the both of them. Sniffing subtly at the tea in her cup.

“전혀 아닙니다, 고마워요. 나는 꽤 호기심이 있었음을 인정할 것이지만, 오는 것은 불편하지 않았다.“ (Not at all, thank you. I’ll admit I was fairly intrigued, but coming was no inconvenience.)

She seems normal, but there’s a wise and regal air about her. Seunghae lets out a soft hum as he exits the kitchen to join Roslyn across from her on the couch. He’s quick to pour himself a cup, sipping it in front of her. She was a stranger, and a vampire at that. There was bound to be some mistrust in the air.

It didn’t matter. Seunghae is here to talk, and if he has to prove his intentions he will.

“따님은 친절한 여인입니다. 너 잘 했어. 대현이 평등하게 존경 받길 바랄뿐입니다. 그에게 쉬운가. 그는 꽤 뜨거운 머리를 가지고있다.” ( Your daughter is a kind woman. You have done well. I can only hope Daehyun shows you the same respect. Do go easy on him. He has quite the hot head. )

@abecji

It’s been an eventful, in the worst of ways, few days. The increased Eldritch activity and the effect it had on those near the temporary conduit for it.  Not a single metaphorical feather of Roslyn’s seemed to be ruffled over it, or, if it had been, it’d been quickly smoothed down before this visit. 

She’ll admit, to herself alone, her suspicions had risen when she’d been approached by the child’s father. Even more so when he invited her to his home. This is a stranger, who potentially knew ways to maim or kill vampires, that she could not gather all the intentions of. A small chat? A joke. She couldn’t entirely trust them, but that does not mean she will let any hint of distrust or of her being unsettled show. She was this old for many reasons, and one of them was disguising her thoughts and intentions. 

Roslyn had promised no harm’d come to him, but that does not necessarily mean she will not defend herself if need be. But she would decide whether it was needed later.

Roslyn arrives standing tall with a head held high. Looking more high end author and journalist than she does a mother. Those strange, purple eyes of hers indifferent to the world around her.

She softly clears her throat, lips curling to one side for a moment before she attempts her best Korean to call out to her gracious host to let him know of her arrival.

“인사, 승해. 로슬린, 록시 리젤의 엄마.“ (Greetings, Seunghae. It’s Roslyn, Roxy Liesel’s mother.)

He’s just finished with the refreshments. The living room is as clean as can be. It’s only when he hears the woman’s voice when he comes out of the kitchen, apron draped over one arm. Something about the woman is unsettling. He takes note of it but doesn’t let his suspicions show when she reveals herself. His smile is gentle. “Roslyn, 만나서 반갑습니다. 앉으세요.” ( It is a pleasure to meet you. Please, sit. ) He gestures to the furniture in the living room before ducking into the kitchen to finish up the last of his cleaning. “그게 귀찮았 니? 차를 마시십시오.” ( Was [coming here] bothersome? Help yourself to tea. )

[abecji]

There is much to do this afternoon. Daehyun is properly resting. I have tea and refreshments to prepare.

[abecji]

He is not well.
