Robert has kept better records on his own bloodline than anyone else has. Every time a new person crops up, he makes sure to add them to the extensive records he has, making sure he has them in the correct spot. He won't admit it, but he can name every person accounted for and what abilities they held.
It took a while, but Robert and Eva regularly check in on each other and, about once a month, they meet up somewhere for a drink away from their mother's bar. She puts no demands on him and that is part of why the two of them get along so well.
Robert actually has met Thomas. He met him briefly at his mother’s funeral and knew there was something off about the man, but he was a child and unable to put his finger on what it was.
To this day, he has no idea that Thomas is his grandfather, but he would recognize the man if he saw him. Robert remembers his mother’s funeral in still vivid detail.
It takes Robert a very long time to start considering his mother’s younger children his siblings. It takes even longer for him to give his mother a second chance. But, the first person at the bar he really begins to view as family is Eva.
He doesn’t have an explination for why it’s Eva, it just is. Maybe because she was the first one he had met at the bar (he met Lilith elsewhere and neither of them saw any reason to get to know one another beyond that), maybe because she’s blunt and not always the best with emotions so he can relate to her a little better, he can’t really say.
"Despite my reputation, I've been almost entirely celibate since getting into this whatever it is with Yin. There has been a couple of one night stands, but the last of those was several years ago."
Robert actually did inherit a shadow of his mother’s main ability. He can influence emotion, but it absolutely requires touch and vocal guidance. It also does not last nearly as long as his mother’s influence can.
Fair warning, Robert is a fucking creep and very manipulative.
His body was pressed against hers from behind, his hands cupping hers. Adilynn couldn’t help but tremble a little, nervous and anxious between what he was asking and the sheer proximity.
“Focus,” Robert murmured, his breath hot on her neck as he guided her hands to encase the small seed.
The girl didn’t answer, not vocally, as she closed her eyes and tried to do as he said. She had been doing this with smaller plants for months now, the nosebleeds and headaches had stopped, and now he wanted to push her limits again.
“I’m just trying to help you grow.”
The words of the guy she had met at the shop came back to her, about how most witches draw energy from around them and not from within the way Robbie made her do. He said it was less tasking, but she wasn’t sure what to believe.
She let out a long and shaky breath, pulling energy from her core and feeding it into the maple seed.
When the roots began to sprout, Robert moved her hands again, forcing her to pick up the seed, his lips mapping the side of her neck as he felt her power continue to mount.
A small green stalk began to break free from the hard shell, the roots tangling around both of their hands and crawling along their wrists. Still, Adi didn’t open her eyes. It was hard to ignore his lips on her skin, but she knew he always got a little excited when he was getting her to push past her limits.
It wasn’t long before her head began to ache. It was short bursts at first before growing into something sharper and she could taste copper in her mouth.
With a pained whimper, her hands sagged, the power beginning to recede, the sapling still encased in her palms. Robert was the only thing keeping her upright.
When she stopped, Robert was gentle to move the sapling, keeping from damaging the roots. He would give her a little recovery time before making her continue with the tree.
For now, however, he was turning her in his arms and pressing her against the table, his lips pressed hard to her. It didn’t matter to him that the spell had left her weak and exhausted, he delighted in having her like this.
The taste of blood on her lips only made it that much better for him.
What: Demon
Duties: Causing mayhem
Appears: early to mid 20′s
Sexuality: undecided
Talents: telekinesis, emotion manipulation (through touch, not to the same degree as his mother)
Robert was once human, the son of a damned woman. Like his mother, he made a reckless choice to make a crossroads deal for someone he loved. He’s cold, cruel, and has no idea that his mother is a demon as well.
