"I noticed." He thought back to the wolves that had accosted him as soon as he arrived, and the ones he fought so long ago when he had been revived for the first time. They were ruthless fighters, unpredictable in their anger, and it was by sheer luck that he had survived his first encounter with them. Now that he was far more skilled, he stood more of a chance, but he couldn't turn. He had to fight with weapons he wasn't skilled with.

He would learn though, if for no reason to eventually get home to his mate.

"I will do my best work as always, my lady." Lucian bowed his head, feeling a twinge of heartbreak at Sonja's departure once again, but it wouldn't be too long until he saw her again. And he had a feeling he could trust this... Michael. He seemed like a reliable sort of person, and he would have the best Lucian would make if it added to the protections that his mate would have, even if she didn't need people to protect her. He swung his hammer down on the metal, ideas filling his mind on what to make.

Michael felt anxiety swirl in his gut. Her words did nothing to soothe his fears of what it was going to be like seeing Viktor when he was truly at his most powerful. This wasn't like before. He would have no idea what or who Michael was. This Viktor still had his daughter, his slaves, and didn't even know of Selene outside of her being a daughter of the blacksmith he commissioned William's prison from. He wouldn't even know her name.

"I hope you're right," Michael managed to keep the fear from his voice. He hadn't even met Viktor yet in her mind. He had no real reason to fully fear the man. "I'll do as you say, don't worry."

As they approached Viktor, Michael bowed before the vampire lord, fighting to keep his breathing steady. The anxiety was starting to cause his hands to shake, and he worked to keep it dampened.

"Rise, my daughter," Viktor appreciated the show of loyalty from his daughter in front of the rest of his court. "Tell me of this doctor, and if he can be trusted." There was something odd about the man beside Sonja, but all Viktor could smell on him was fear. Good.

Her father had made Lucian turn so many over the years, it was difficult to tell anymore who had been sired directly by her mate, or someone who had been turned by him and so on. Bloodlines sometimes were easy to sniff out, and other times were difficult and tangled up. The vampire scent on Michael made her most curious because she did not recognize it, and there were fewer vampire bloodlines in comparison.

"Well, that is always an advantage to be grateful for. It can be learn quickly or die here, William's Children are ever present." Sonja would evaluate for herself later where his combat skills were, and what she might have to correct to ensure when he faced an opponent he had no obvious weakspots. She did not know Michael personally, but Lucian had sired him, and she felt a sort of responsibility to his wellbeing from that alone.

"I look forward to seeing the outcome of your work. I hope you rise to the challenge as always, blacksmith." She cast him a smile before she turned her back and led the way, wishing she could stay and linger longer with Lucian. But she knew it would draw far too much attention and make tongues wag, a risk she couldn't take. Too much scrutiny and she'd be found out for matters she wished to keep to herself until the timing was right....or better.

"I would say he isn't as terrifying as he seems, but that would be a falsehood. His bark can be more intimidating than his bite, Viktor favours loyalty and....well usefulness over flattery. That you are a qualified doctor, and able to work with immortals, he will not look a gift horse in the mouth." She knew there was little reassurances that could be offered, her father was a terrifying figure to most. At times even she feared him.

"Just follow my lead, I'll do what I can to ensure your safety." Sonja gave him a tight lipped smile, hoping it offered some reassurances, then pushed the door to the council chambers open. She ignored the faces and curiosity of the council members, walking instead to her father directly and bowing before him.

"Father. I bring good news, I have found us a new doctor, he helped save my life and that of one of our men."

[halfvampirehalflycan]

It was more than that, it was more than the bond between sire and sired. It was a mating bond, and while they didn't mate for life... Michael could still feel that other side of the bond through the mark on his neck. It was hard to think about moving on when there were still twinges, when occasionally he still felt a bit of what Selene felt.

But perhaps Moby was right in that it was time to move on.

With all the hunters that had found him, if Selene really wanted to find him, she probably would have by now.

"Perhaps you're right," the fight had left Michael long ago, but this was the first time he had really let that show. His shoulders sagged. "But it's more than just siring me. Selene and I were mates, I still have her mark on my skin. We went through a hell that few others could even dream of. I... don't know how much I can let that go, and I don't know how fair that would be to anyone else."

@halfvampirehalflycan wrote: Michael chuckled when she said she was mildly attracted to him for a few seconds. “I succeeded in my intent.” He teased her, rubbing the back of his neck. “You must see that I’m able to at least give someone a warning. Again, he considered it lucky that Moby had never seen him truly lose his temper. There would be bloodshed in that case, and he couldn’t go back from that easily.  His cheery mood faltered when she asked him if anyone had asked him on a date yet. “You know it’s not that simple,” His voice had gone low, not quite a growl but getting there. It was a sensitive topic for him. “It’s not a breakup like humans go through. She and I shared a bond that is near impossible to break.”

"isn't it?" there's a sting to her words, sharp and stabbing without holding back. she'd had enough spending the past year and a half watching michael get his heart broken by a ghost they both knew wasn't coming back. michael just wasn't ready to accept it. biggest fucking case of denial she'd ever seen, and she was getting tired tiptoeing around it every time he would get his feelings hurt by the reality he wasn't ready to face.

moby put the cube down, realizing it nearly broke when she squeezed it just then. "why, because she sired you? because she wasn't the only one who made you and i don't--- UGH." see you chasing lucian's tail. words were bit back, almost literally and strictly for the sake of not egging him into a fight so quickly. in the end, she'd hurt him if she had to, but the difference between them was she wouldn't feel bad about it. much.

she ground her teeth, debating the string of conversation. "listen, you can't give me the wolves mate for life bullshit either. you're going to keep hurting unless you do something about all this NOTHING going on."

[halfvampirehalflycan]

She’s just gonna… sit on his back. No words, and start fiddling with her phone.

Michael didn't move, not at first, but soon he shifted backwards just a bit. Enough where he could crane his neck to look at her. "Can I help you?"

Basic Angst Starters

Lucian immediately picked up on the look and nodded. He knew he had probably taken it a step too far, but this solidified it. At least he had the decency to look a little bit sheepish. He looked again to the hybrid. He had no memory of turning the man, but perhaps it was a long time ago. Long enough where his memory would fade. He wouldn't put it passed him.

He had turned dozens of people at this point...

"I've been told I'm a quick learner." The words broke Michael's heart, as his mind drifted off briefly to his mate, to her training him. He wanted to be back home... back with his mate, but something brought him here for a reason. He was determined to save Sonja, because that was his best assumption for why exactly he was here.

"Your praise is always appreciated, My Lady." Lucian bowed as he glanced to Michael one final time before he began to work on the plan for Michael's armor and weapon. He had an idea in his mind already, one that would be perfect for the coven's newest doctor and apparently the first ever hybrid to exist.

Michael paled at the mention of meeting her father. Viktor. The man who tried to kill him, who will be the cause of Sonja's death. He only hoped that his scent was masked by the amount of vampires around him. Otherwise, he was going to be dead where he stood.

"Lead the way," At least he sounded braver than he was.

Sonja exchanged a quick look with Lucian, indicating silently that they should drop the matter of precisely how Michael was a hybrid for now. He seemed to have reasons to want to guard that knowledge, and she would respect his privacy for the time being. Later they would talk, later she might tell him as well....or put it off for another moon cycle. Until it was nearly too late for her to hide it, or he asked her if something had changed about her. She wanted them safe from all harm ideally, before she had to say anything to anyone other than her hand maidens.

"I can see to that, have our swordmaster teach you the basics. If he is too busy, then I will teach you myself. Everyone here is required to have at least a basic understanding of how to defend oneself, even the courtier classes within the coven can wield a blade if they must." Sonja promised, knowing it was important, even if claws might be preferred such a thing would swiftly expose Michael and make it far harder for her to guarantee his safety.

"I will see to it, ready the plans. We will need whatever you can prepare, no other smith can match your skill." Sonja also would trust no other's work the way she did Lucian's, his talent should be praised more often rather than ignored. It burned her that he was not treated with more respect, that she could not lay her claim publicly and declare herself mated to him. All because of short sighted prejudice.

The vampiress glanced to Michael, aware of his observation and merely lifted a brow but didn't comment. She supposed it was fair, Lucian was his sire. And not many were granted the privilege to see her with her guard down, or interacting with Lucian without having to play her part as Viktor's Daughter. In private like this, it was plain to see that she loved her mate.

"You're welcome. I'll bring back the written declaration of the work order myself later. Till then, blacksmith." Sonja bowed her head in turn, wanting to step forth and steal a kiss but dared not--the guards sounded too close to risk such a thing. Instead she turned on her heel, and waved for Michael to follow her.

"Come. It's time you were introduced to my father as our new doctor."

[halfvampirehalflycan]

(Gonna get myself back into the swing of things soon. Like this post for a quick starter that I should get to in the next few days!)

[halfvampirehalflycan]

"Perhaps... do you have a secondary name, Michael?" Lucian asked the hybrid and watched as he tensed up. Oh, perhaps he was on to something then, but it was something he was certain that he would need to work towards and earn his trust in order to get him to speak a little more plainly on the topic. "Another time perhaps, I will be waiting to learn more."

Michael didn't like how quickly they were picking up on things about him and about why he might be a hybrid. He had to be very careful, one wrong move and the trust he had built with the two of them would come crumbling down. Someday, he would confide in them more, but that was only when he was certain that their trust in him wouldn't fade.

"I am minimally trained in combat with weapons like those. It will take me some time to adjust to their weight, but whatever you make me, Lucian, will work for me." Michael remembered the limited training he had with Selene, and how it was more firearms focused than it was bladed weapons, but they did have some time to learn.

He was far more comfortable with his claws.

"I can see if once you get permission, i can draw up some plans." Lucian didn't want to rush into anything, but he already had some ideas in his mind that might work to give his people protection.

Michael listened to the way the two of them spoke and he smiled. It was nice to hear how his sire as treated by the princess of the coven. He had only experienced all of that through his memories so to get it first hand was... nice.

"Thank you, my lady." Lucian bowed his head to her.

"I'm not entirely sure myself yet, as to how. I was under the impression that it would only be possible if someone was born a hybrid....but perhaps its possible, perhaps limited to certain bloodlines to tolerate such a transformation." Sonja had a feeling Michael didn't want to name the vampire that had turned him, and she wouldn't push him for information, she'd grant him his privacy so long as he held her trust. There wasn't time either way, to find out how else a hybrid could be, her father needed to be dealt with first. "Later, we will look into it. There are....many conversations we will have to have."

Sonja didn't like to put it off but there were more pressing matters. She trusted Michael, and it was a rare privilege to be able to be close to her mate before they both could sneak away to the tunnels below. She hoped her beloved didn't feel as territorial now of the hybrid, she only cared for Lucian and would love none other.

"A simple short sword should do, and a dagger, until there's time to evaluate you for weapons training and capability. And armor, a fine idea. Better to have some and not require it, than be caught without it. Perhaps.....perhaps I can pass along an idea at the next council meeting, of giving the transformed lycans armor to help them better guard us during the day from William's children. The wolves are becoming more brazen. I trust you can make a prototype?" If she could get it agreed on, then they could quietly and secretly outfit the lycans in the fortress, so they'd have a better chance against her kin.

Sonja would see if she could move more weapons into outposts and lands of neighbouring nobles, so they could retrieve them later. Any preparations she could make would help. It was a matter of when over if and she knew it, even if the vampiress didn't like it.

"I will ensure a servant brings your dinner, and that the guards will be notified you will be working later into the day and may leave the forge to collect more materials from below. I'll sign a document and bring you it, so none stop you." Sonja added at a normal volume, hoping Lucian would catch her meaning to meet her later. Either way, she'd ask her hand maiden to ensure Lucian was given dinner and the deathdealers didn't deny him it.
