yeesh, that was harsh. if only bo had a choice in the matter as well, he would’ve seen to it that andrea had been raised properly. unfortunately the tag team of the hollow and richard dumas had decided his fate for him. as elijah continues on regarding the pack, bo fights the urge to look at the original with guilt in his eyes. while he had heard some stories about the fate of his wolves, he didn’t know the extent in which marcel’s pain had escalated. it was his fault. his wife begged him to make peace with the vampires but his arrogance knew no bounds. if he hadn’t been such a fool, perhaps he and his wife would’ve survived, andrea would have her family and his wolves would’ve thrived alongside the vampires. but that was ancient history now. he confirms his suspicions and bo can’t help the instinctive ’ andrea … ’ that pours from his mouth in a whispered breath. finding his daughter wasn’t on cade’s agenda, but cade be damned. bodi wouldn’t be caught wasting a second chance at life, forgoing the opportunity to finally know his daughter. ’ well damn, where are my manners? ’ the sarcasm returns, fighting off the mix of overwhelming guilt, fear, and excitement in his chest. ’ my name? it’s bo labonair. ’ he emphasises, coy smirk upon his features. ’ tell andrea her old man’s lookin’ for her, will ya? ’
ANDREA. However low Bo had whispered it, Elijah caught it. But it wasn’t the name that completely caught his attention, it was the way it was said. The fondness of it heavy, the relief that hid behind the simple name. And it was because of that that Elijah fell into a relaxed stance. Though he still had some guard up, as he always did. “She doesn’t go by Andrea.” Up until now, Elijah has withheld her name, “It was changed when she was a baby, for her safety.” By Marcellus, no less. BO LABONAIR. Her FATHER. Quite the impression you made hm, Elijah? For once, Elijah’s too stunned to speak. Light hues taking the man in and placing similarities between the two, “She must’ve gotten her good looks from her mother then, hm?” Elijah’s sarcasm matches Bo’s but his lips pull up into a small smirk to show no ILL WILL. It was no secret that Elijah didn’t have the best parents around, and it was HARD to trust parents that came back from the dead especially when there was a price on Hope’s head. And for that small moment, Elijah’s reminded of where he was headed before Bo struck up conversation. AN ALLIANCE. While Bo was no longer Alpha of the crescents, he was WOLF ROYALTY and a former Alpha. He only hoped his intentions with Hayley were SOUND. A father wanting to reconnect with his daughter, nothing more - nothing less. “I will.” He gave the man his word, “But before I do, what’re your intentions with her?” It felt ODD asking someone’s father this, but here he was. “The last parent that has arisen from the dead --” WHICH WAS HIS, “Has been hellbent on killing her and my niece.” Not necessarily Hayley but killing anyone who got in the way of killing Hope - Hayley of course, fell into that scope. “I don’t want to give her false hope if you’re going to do the same.” His tone is softer then, “She deserves her family, I’d say she needs them now more than ever even. But if you’re here to hurt her, or my niece. I’m afraid it won’t end well.”
