Sebastian would let out a heavy sigh. “I guess it’s too much to ask to do it out of mere kindness. Fine. What do you want?”

Soleil rolled her eyes. “You asked me to set aside my feelings, Sebastian. I cannot do that and remain Soleil. You’re asking for Larkspur, and Larkspur you shall receive.”

She pondered the question a moment before giving a shrug. “I’m unsure of the price at the moment. You could make me an offer, or wait until I come up with something. You’re pick.”

Sebastian made a quaint nod. “I see. For now, I say I brief you on what we have to do. By the time we’re done, if you’ve decided on what you want, just let me know.”

Sebastian scoffed. “If you really care about Mac, you’ll set aside your own feelings for him.” He’d walk quickly to gather his belongings, pulling his coat over his shoulder. “This facility is enemy territory. I can’t take it alone.”

She squinted, saying nothing for a moment. Deliberating for a moment, she sighs. He wants her to care about Mac, but not care about Mac. Such a reasonable request. “And how will I be repaid for such kindness? If I must risk my life, I want payment that is equal to the task.”

Sebastian looked at her with anger. “It’s not foolish hope, Soleil! It’s absolute certainty! We can bring him back, isn’t that what you want?!” At this point, he was in a total state of disbelief and fury.

“I want it more than anything!” She cried, stunning herself into silence for a beat. “It’s taken me a year, Sebastian. One year, to finally realize that Mac is truly dead. For months after, I refused to feed. Surely even you know how… detrimental that is for a vampire. It’ll have been a year since I’ve taken a contract. I want him back, I do. I just… I don’t want to get my hopes up only for it to not happen.”

Sebastian scoffed. "If you really care about Mac, you'll set aside your own feelings for him." He'd walk quickly to gather his belongings, pulling his coat over his shoulder. "This facility is enemy territory. I can't take it alone."

macblackstone:

Sebastian’s frown would extend a little. “Don’t play stupid, Soleil.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “We…we can bring Mac back.”

And there it was. The reason she was dreading, the hope that forced itself to bud. She shook her head, furiously. “No. No, I refuse. I’ve just started accepting his death, Sebastian. Don’t plant such foolish hope in my chest.”

Sebastian looked at her with anger. "It's not foolish hope, Soleil! It's absolute certainty! We can bring him back, isn't that what you want?!" At this point, he was in a total state of disbelief and fury.

macblackstone:

A frown would form on Sebastian’s face, not satisfied with her disbelief. “I’ve seen it myself, Soleil. I truly have.” He’d stand. “You know I come here to tell you this for a reason.”

“And what reason is that, pray tell?” She asks, brows now knitting together. “There’s a multitude of people that would want that information, why come to me? I doubt I was the first person on your list.”

Sebastian's frown would extend a little. "Don't play stupid, Soleil." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "We...we can bring Mac back."

Sebastian walked inside quickly. “It is, Soleil. It is. I promise.”

He’d pull off his coat and then walk to her. “I was doing some recon. All over this side of the globe. I found a facility. A facility capable of human resurrection.”

She closed the door as he entered, skeptical at best. She turned to face him a brow raised.

“Sebastian…” Her tone was chastising, to quelch the hope that tried to bloom. “You’re talking nonsense. How did you even find such a facility? And how are you sure they’re capable of human resurrection? It would take ages for the technology to be acquired, if it even exists. Potential, yes, but possible? I doubt.”

A frown would form on Sebastian's face, not satisfied with her disbelief. "I've seen it myself, Soleil. I truly have." He'd stand. "You know I come here to tell you this for a reason."

Sebastian managed to form a half-smile. His appearance had changed a great deal since the last time they had crossed paths. The long golden hair he once had was shaved off, only leaving a barely visible buzz cut, and a full, pointed beard.

“I come with some exciting news, Soleil. May I come in and tell you more?”

She let her toffee eyes roam briefly, taking in Sebastian’s new appearance. It was odd, to see him so different, even if they’d not seen or spoken to each other in a year. She stepped away from the door slightly, motioning him inside.

“You come with ‘exciting news.’ This better be good, Sebastian.”

Sebastian walked inside quickly. "It is, Soleil. It is. I promise."

He'd pull off his coat and then walk to her. "I was doing some recon. All over this side of the globe. I found a facility. A facility capable of human resurrection."

It was a bit dark outside to make out who exactly the figure was, but as if it were on cue, lightning and thunder boomed in the cloudy sky, shining a light against the man’s face.

Sebastian Blackstone.

“Hello, Soleil.”

Soleil stood dumbfounded for a moment. She hadn’t seen Sebastian since he left, with Caesulena following after. What could he possibly want now? Offer too late condolences? Some kind of moral obligation? She had half a mind to send him off.

And yet…

“Sebastian Blackstone. What brings you to my doorstep?”

Over a year had passed since Mac was brutally murdered. In efforts to save his brother, with the aid of Soleil.

His brother, Sebastian, had gone MIA shortly after recovering from the countless wounds and bruises that covered his body. The madman that put him through this is yet to be found.

One night, someone knocked at the door of the mansion. There was a strong thunderstorm, so anyone thought to be navigating through it would be considered insane.

A solid year, and Soleil still wasn’t sure if she had truly recovered. Mac had become rather dear to her, and to have him ripped away, someone she thought she might call friend, who she’d bonded with in those quiet moments outside her manor, left a hole. A large hole, from which she wondered if she’d ever re-fill.

It had taken the ravings of her thralls, mostly Kaeso and Zacharias, for her to actually begin the process of recovery. Starting, simply, with actually feeding when she should.

It was the knock at the door that caught her attention. An eyebrow raised as she crossed the foyer, opening the door slightly to look out at whoever was at the door. “Yes?”
