Rowan’s expression softens as she sees how stressed James is, and she moves to his side for a moment, gently squeezing his shoulder. She’s also pleasantly surprised that he’s done this for her… more for Rose than anything.

“Thank you, James. I’ll repay you for this when I’m done.”

A few minutes later, she enters the room Lucifer is in, her anger back to the same intensity it was in before. “Lucifer.”

Rowan was surprised when Hank squeaked and jerked away from her, and she pulled her hands back at first, thinking she’d hurt him. But after a few moments... well, she knew why he’d jerked away.

Smirking, she gently placed her hands on Hank’s shoulders, thankful she was behind him so he couldn’t see her. “Are you okay, Hank?”

Hopefully he would forget, at least momentarily, that she could read his mind. It would make it even more entertaining if he did.

Rod wraps her arms around James’ neck, nuzzling his hair.

“Grandma told me she heard your voice through her mind, so I came to find you. I missed you a lot.”

Rowan steps out from behind a tree, carrying a black, lacy umbrella to block the sun. “Hello, James. It’s been quite a while, hasn’t it?”

It was a beautiful night, and Rowan had been aching to go out. With her children asleep, she’d been glad to be able to walk around, especially on a cool night like this. Of course, after about an hour she was on her way back home, and she knew she was being followed.

His thoughts were unsavory, to say the least. It had been a while since she’d drank from someone, usually drinking from the supply she had at home, and while she normally wouldn’t bother with someone like him... well, she wasn’t in the mood to let him go.

So as she turned the corner and he rushed at her, she grabbed him by his jacket lapel and plunged her fangs into his neck. He didn’t make a sound—he’d fainted, typical. But even as she was draining him completely of blood, she’d become distracted and hadn’t noticed someone else had followed her...

She would certainly have a lot of explaining to do.

Rowan chuckles softly, setting her glass down and standing up, smoothing out her skirt with her gloved hands. “Of course. You’re close to my family, and they love you.”

She approaches James, and it’s clear she’s a bit shorter than he is— her heels add a couple of inches. She holds out her hand to him, her smile a friendly one. “Rowan. I’m sure Myarel and Vi have told you a bit about me.”

"Rowan... do you know of any kind of snakes that can speak telepathically?" Conrad asked. (Maybe Faust is with him at the moment, maybe not. Either way I couldn't resist him asking Rowan if she knew of any snakes like Faust XD)

@found-family-anderson

Rowan raises a brow, confusion clear on her face.

“No... unless it’s a shapeshifter with telepathic abilities, then I’ve never heard of anything like that.”

Faust has decided to join Conrad, having climbed up his leg and curled around his arm, her head resting on his chest as she smiles in her snakey way. Hi!!!

Rowan blinks, clearly taken aback. “... Until now.”

Entering the kitchen, Cole caught sight of two things. One, Sumo was lying on the floor currently being brushed. Two, the person brushing Sumo was not one of Cole's brothers or his dad, instead it was a woman he didn't recognize. Sumo didn't seem bothered though, so the woman was okay right? That and just out the glass door leading to the back yard he could see Conrad and Cameron looking at the collapsed doghouse. They knew the woman was there too, surely, so she was safe to approach, right?

@whiskeyedshot

Rowan hadn’t been at the house very long— she’d come in the nick of time, it seemed, as the doghouse had collapsed not long after she’d gotten there. She was the one who’d insisted on brushing Sumo, as she had dogs of her own and knew how out of control the hair could get.

Despite her normal way of dressing, sitting on the floor didn’t bother her— she was on the floor a lot with her own pets, and her great-grandchildren, and along with that she’d made the dress herself out of material that didn’t attract anything like fuzz or animal hair, so she wouldn’t get Sumo’s fur all over her.

She knew Cole was approaching before she heard him, and she turned her head slightly so she could see him out of the corner of her eye, a smile crossing her lips— she didn’t want to scare him.

“You can come closer. You don’t have to be afraid.”
