Ara got ever so lighty flustered seeing the vampir lady cry. Oh no she didnt want to make her cry... Very slowly she moved in closer, one arm wrapping around her to hug her together with her tail. " ... You two are very alike... kind... "

“I’m so happy that he’s taken after me in that regard... I-I was afraid he might become a hot-head like his silly father...~”

Calla tried to calm herself by laughing but soon found herself gently returning miss dragon’s gesture. How kind of her... Alas, she released miss dragon and tenderly wiped the remainder of her tears.

“I-I’d best be going. Zachie might be looking for me by now. Thank you once more, dragons are truly wonderful beings.”

The mother vampir stepped away, pausing a moment to look at the study door, then hurrying down the hall. Her husband would worry if she wasn’t back by the time she promised.

[loveinties]

Eyes quite curiously watched Calla as she retrieved the blankets. They keep blankets there? -- The dragoness sniffed lightly the air as they approached the study then. She stared for a moment at the blankets before claws reached out to take them. " Thank you... " She looked at the vampir, and showed a hesitant smile. What a gentle mother. " I... appreciate it. "

“Oh! No, no darling! No need to thank me!”

Calla became flustered instantly, hands lifting to cover her mouth with her fingers. Oh goodness! Truly miss dragon didn’t need to thank her, Calla simply wanted to make her life a little easier... The fact that she also made her son happy... That was the whipped topping.

“I... I can’t do much, even as his mother... So I’m so very thankful you and him get along... I must really thank you, darling. Thank you for giving him some hope...”

She hadn’t meant to start crying, but goodness she was a vampir and a mother, so her emotions were always running high when it came to her darling boy. Her precious little angel...

“If... If you ever need anything- please don’t hesitate to tell me, alright?”

[loveinties]

Certainly being shown the room was easier than rely on scent alone to find it... And it seems the vampir lady was happy to show her. What a relief. And Ara hesitantly followed. " Yes... he's very sweet... a delight to have around... "

“He really is a sweet little darling~”

Calla sighed happily as she spoke of her son. Her adorable baby boy~ Oh how she wished she could give him a better life...

“I’m so glad you two are getting along. I feared what would happen if you were left all alone...”

No matter if dragon, vampir, or human... All creatures needed to have companionship of some sort. Calla believed this and was just so happy that miss dragon and her boy were on friendly terms. So she stops for a moment at a maid’s closet, retrieving a couple soft blankets from it before they continued on the last little bit to the study door.

“This is it. Here, I’m sure he’d appreciate it. I grabbed one for you as well just in case he doesn’t wake up before you get sleepy~”

Calla offered miss dragon the blankets, eyes sparkling in a way that had been obviously inherited by her boy.

[loveinties]

As closely as Ara watched Calla the hurt from the rejection might've looked more intense than it was. It felt like a stab to her heart to see the lady like that. Maybe because her features were so similair to the boy Ara grew attached to... " I should be thanking him... He showed me not all... here are bad... " One clawed hand reached out slightly before being pulled back again. " W-wait.. ... this place is rather big... maybe you could show me... where this... 'study' is? "

“A-Are you certain?”

Calla was caught off guard by the sudden request, but how could she say no to such a sweet being? Calla offered her a smile, a hand lifting to wipe a stray tear that formed in her eye.

“Of course I can darling~”

Cheeks rosy, Calla took a step towards a different hallway and gestured with her hand that this was the direction that they were going to go in.

“My son, my little Lazzie... He really is a sweet child. Well, I’m certain that you know this already~”

[loveinties]

Purple eyes followed each little movement of the other in obvious mistrust. Even if she was the mother of Lazarus, Ara still was careful. After her experiances trust was simply hard to give. " I can just find him later. He deserves the rest. " Would just need to make sure not follow the wrong scent...

“I-I see...”

Calla wouldn’t say she was surprised by the rejection, but it still showed that she was hurt. Shoulders slacken just a little and her gaze falls to the floor as she exhales a soft sigh.

“I-I should leave you be then.”

The vampir mother moves to leave but then turns her attention back to the dragon.

“Thank you for allowing my son to smile once again.”

With that, Calla offers a gentle smile and promptly makes her way away from the dragon. She didn’t want to upset the one her baby boy had become so attached to, so she’d make sure to keep away from that wing of the palace for some time.

[loveinties]

Tail lashed from side to side, the only movement from Ara as she just stared for a moment in silence. Her son... so that's why she mistook the scent... Lazarus' mother... And slowly she took a step back. " ... If he's asleep I wouldn't want to bother him... "

“Oh, but miss, I’m sure he’d be oh-so happy to see you when he awoke. It makes me so happy that he’s opening up to another...”

Dainty hands place themselves before her, smoothing her skirt before resting upon it. As a mother, she was saddened that she wasn’t able to protect her son like she wanted to. But she was also very happy that this poor dragon- the one that her horrid father-in-law stole from the world- was able to bond with someone in some respect. They were both beautiful beings trapped in a cruel cage...

[loveinties]

Ara found herself wandering again. Following a familiar scent. Though it was too late when she noticed it to not belong to the one she expected -- causing her to freeze in place.

“Ah-”

Calla pauses midstep, eyes lifting to stare at the one before her. Was this not the lady dragon she’d heard was taken into the castle? Goodness, she was beautiful. A powerful presence, fierce eyes...

“Hello...~ Did you mistake my scent for another? Perhaps my son?”

She had been told that Lazarus frequently visited the dragon, so she only assumed that was who she was looking for. How lovely... This darling woman wasn’t lonely...

“I... Could show you where he is if you like. He actually fell asleep in his study.”

[loveinties]

What's this? It's Ace flinching away from his handler in the hallway, who tosses a liquid at the half-demon. Whatever the liquid is, it's enough to have the young man whimper in pain and try to walk off -- only to be stopped and berated by his handler.

The vampir mother, upon seeing such a sight unravel before her, was thrown into a fit of unbridled rage. The woman threw herself between them, a closed fist colliding with the offender’s face- likely breaking a few facial bones in the process. Fangs were bared at the bastard who dared harm such a sweet child of someone so important to her.

“How DARE you, you disgusting insect of a person! Get out! GET OUT!”

Her shouting would certainly bring Zacharius running, and if her aggressive snarling wasn’t scary enough... The crown prince of the vampires would be his worst nightmare.

[loveinties]

Almost a full week after the mysterious notes were added to his research, Ace is walking down the halls with a particularly large basket full of baked sweets (mostly chocolate) in his arms. There's also a beautifully written apology letter attached to the basket... Pity the half-demon's not looking where he's going or else he'd see that he's about to collide with the *other* resident vampir.

Luckily, Calla is on the ball and her gentle hands halt the youth before a collision can take place. It seemed that her words had been heeded. How wonderful~

“Careful now, dear, not everyone in his place is as kind as I.”

Sweet smile on her face, the vampir mother slipped a treat of her own- a message to her son- into his basket.

There's quite a few -- at least a dozen -- books spread out across the tables in the library this morning, along with a few loose papers with neatly written notes. Each paper has something about vampir written on it, along with some more personal things. (Stay away if he smells sweeter than usual. Squeaking probably bad.) The person doing all of the researching and notetaking? Hadeous' newly acquired half-demon.

Vampir... The mentioning of ‘he’... Obviously, someone was getting close with her son, but what is Calla to do? She was told to stay away, and yet... That scent is unmistakable... So she cleans up the clutter, piling books neatly atop one another, before taking her own piece of parchment and jotting down notes that- perhaps- will be seen by the one looking for information.

Chocolate and sweets will make him happy.

Speak softly and keep a non-threatening posture.

If he lets you close do not touch him unless he initiates it. (Offering is perfectly alright even if he makes it seem like it isn’t.)

If you don’t know what to talk about, speak of nature.

If something is wrong, tell him it’ll be alright even if he gets mad.

If he’s angry don’t get too close, let him calm down. Do not tell him to calm down.

There’s a smaller note written underneath a dog-eared piece of paper.

Ask the human staff for Calla or Zacharius if something is wrong.

[loveinties]

A package for the vampir's delivered right to her room. Inside? A painting of a happier time, of Calla and the sender's daughter having an intense conversation over tea. Knowing the demon king, he probably finished the painting not too long before sending it.

The moment Calla sees the gift she breaks down into tears, a soft hand over her mouth to hold in a gasp. How sweet a present, yet so painful... Zacharius returns later to his wife sobbing with the painting sitting beside her on their bed...

It takes him half a day to console her.

[loveinties]

What's this? A blue haired person swims up to the vampir walking along the beach, diamond eyes *sparkling* like his hair. "You... smell like Mom! Kind of... look like him too..." Just one very happy blue... boy(?). ((Zale needs to meet his grandma!))

Smell like ‘mom’? ‘Him’?

Calla had been confused when such a cute little sea being approached her. For a moment she thought he was confused, but the moment she saw those eyes... Those eyes...

“Y-You’re my--”

Tears in her eyes, Calla runs into the water and scoops up the adorable little boy- hugging him to her and squeaking softly.

“My Lazzie’s-”

[loveinties]

What do you think of that sea witch that ran off with your son?

“I-I miss my baby so much... But that darling boy... I know my son loves him- so as long as they’re happy, then I can’t complain. I’d rather him gone and happy than here, miserable and underneath that beast’s thumb.”

[loveinties]

do you have a favorite grandchild?

“Oh, I couldn’t possibly-! They’re all precious souls and I love them all to bits!”

[loveinties]

have you met Cerys' kids?

“Yes, oh yes~ They’re the most adorable little pumpkins~!”

[loveinties]

“Mommy~! I missed you so, so much!”

Cerise wraps her arms around her mother as she’s twirled around, laughing all the while.

“Oh my honey, mommy’s sorry!”

Calla smooched her baby’s cheeks, a gentle purr rising in her throat. Her sweet little princess was so cute, she could barely stand it! The vampir mother wanted to spoil her with love and sweet things!

[loveinties]

If she had a tail, it would be wagging.

“Mommy.”

“Sweetest baby, my precious little girl~!”

And there goes Calla, scooping up her baby girl and twirling her around happily.
