“I’m not going to let my past come between my future, love. I’m not exactly holding onto my past and making it make me feel that it’s putting me down, for it’s not causing me pain, love. I’m a very loyal man, and my wife still matters to me, and I don’t break promises. Sure I enjoy eating with my siblings, but I can handle that, I pick and choose who I eat.” Though he knew he didn’t need to explain it to Catherine, knew that she understood his ways, and he liked that no one changed how he ate, or lived. Because he would never do that to them.”Last time Noah was like this, he said somethings that ended in me disowning him, love. I don’t think I’ll be able to talk to him while he is like this, though it won’t stop me from trying, but I do think the only family member he cares about even without his humanity, is Carter. And I don’t want to put pressure on my little sister, but if anyone could bring him back it’s her. And whatever she needs from me, I’ll give it to her. But he will not listen to me, and all we’ll do is argue, and push each other away.” Though he did love Noah, he did. But when he was like this, there was no way Lucian could get through to him, because Noah made Lucian feel like he wasn’t doing anything right by his brother.”I’d die for Noah if I could, without hesitation, and if I could stop his pain from making him turn it off I would, but I can’t, and I don’t think he realises none of us could help him with this. Not when the Fontaine’s do this to him all the time.” He tells her, a hand making circles on her back as his lips find the top of her head, nodding at her words as he pulls her closer even more.”Hmm, and what should we do today, I wonder.”
“And you’re very good at your promises.. and picking your meals.” Catherine agreed wholeheartedly, he was incredibly aware of his audience and adapted to whatever he thought they may need, or want in some cases. It was very kind of him and something few actually deserved in her opinion. Though his slip up had upset up greatly it was something he would move on from. “Speaking of your dining choices.. I had been thinking, if you wished to perhaps continue feeding from humans without actually doing just that...you could always just take it from me.. if you want” Catherine said softly, not wanting to pressure him into anything or make him uncomfortable in any way, but she had seen how much his other side happened to crave it when he was lost and doing it this way might ease his conscience but still give him what he needed, just using her as a conduit so to speak. It wasn’t something that seemed terribly common among vampires though one would never truly know behind closed doors but... she thought she would at least offer. “I would not be offended if you decline, I just thought - you may feel less..guilty afterwards.” Listening to him speak caused a small frown to cross her features, that hadn’t been what Carter had mentioned when she spoke to her earlier that week. “She’s all but given up on him as well, she doesn’t know how to help him this time. Mentioned something about her hold being lost on him.. But you mustn’t tell her I told you, she admitted it begrudgingly enough as is. Either way, he cannot continue like this.” She admitted, nuzzling his neck for a moment before glancing up at him. “If you did disown him then perhaps leave him be? Showing up may make him think you’ll go running whenever he’s like this. It’s an unfortunate situation, that it’s always him and everything else, but if he absolutely does not want the help - then he won’t take it. No matter who is giving it.” Shrugging, Catherine nipped at Lucian’s chin gently and wrapped one of her hands around his wrist to have something to hold onto. “We could stay here or we could look at one of those double date things that Jericho had mentioned, we could go downtown.. or to the city. You choose. If I chose we won’t leave here.”
