The arrival of the dark storm [Estelle,Aries]

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite had found herself rather infatuated with the new guy Gabriel, he was a handsome spunk, someone she really found herself thinking about a lot, she couldn’t believe the guy he was a conceited egotistical perverted tool, but she couldn’t help the way she felt about him, just the thought of him made her feel all hot inside, and the thought of kissing him had made her blush scarlet. Aphrodite was dressing herself out of the school uniform she had custom designed herself and got into jeans and a pink top, she yawned a little, she had promised her little brother that she would hang out with him today I really hope Aries isn’t angry with me, I been so busy lately, and then there is Gabriel…I wonder if he is ever going to ask me out…maybe he doesn’t even feel the same way...i mean there are so many prettier girls at the school than i…and he is extremely hot.[/i] she had stopped her thoughts and found herself blushing.

Aphrodite bit on her bottom lip and put on a black sweater, she left the room and made her way out to the Rec Hall, while she walked casually she thought about all the things she had to do, she had to counsel a fellow student, plan out the dark daughters social event, go to town get some ingredients for an upcoming ritual, along with homework and of course she wanted to see if she could factor in sometime with that spunk, she knew she would have to find an excuse to be near him, she wondered if she should talk to Estelle about Gabriel and how to woo him, it was then Aphrodite began to wonder if Estelle ever had a boyfriend, she contemplated for a moment on setting Estelle up with her father, and then frowned human/vampyre relationships always destined to failure seeing as the vamps had a longer lifespan.

Aphrodite sat on the couch thankfully it was quiet and no one was here, she yawned again “note to self sleep is good…schedule sleep into my todo list” she spoke to herself waiting for her little brother to rock up, she was a little worried about Aries, a lot of the girls thought he was hot based on the gossip about him, she didn’t want his brother turning into a man slut, but then again he was shooting blanks so it wasn’t like he could inpregonate anyone. so that was one thing easing her mind.


ooc i will let you handle whos posting in this thread i just tagged ya to get your attention this is the plot thing ill add a hyperlink in the epic plot thread

[Estelle Josephine]

Estelle couldn't care to sit in her office any longer. The mixed vampyre had a horrible case of cabin-fever going on and to make matters worse, she had a lot of work to do. Thankfully, she had caught up on today's work so she didn't have to continue... all work left is for tomorrow. She liked getting work done early but she needed a well-deserved break.

She stood up, straightening her blue silky dress. Her hair was as always, curly. She had on nice dark high heels to match the neck of the dress. Estelle didn't know if her clothes were to revealing or if it were just in her mind. Of course, vampyre priestesses dress different than a simple high school teacher. No one ever said anything about her choice in clothes so no problem, right? She never wore anything too short or breasty, just.... nice.

Her heals clanked against the hard floors. Each step gave a soft 'thank' letting the students know she was there. The students and staff all respectfully gave a head bow as usual. She had returned everyone with friendly smiles and nods.

It wasn't long before she found herself in the rec hall. What a lovely place to relax...when students weren't being talkative. To her luck, it was empty. All but Aphrodite, her high priestess in training. Smart young fledgling. Estelle hated picking favorites, often felt guilty for it, but Aphrodite was one of her favorites. Top favorite in-fact.

"Hope all is well." Estelle's voice barely over a whisper, gentle and friendly, with the hint of a French and Spanish accent. "I hope you don't mind. I wanted to come out and relax a little. It's been a very productive day for me."

A motherly smile cascaded across her tanned face. Aphrodite had always been such a hard worker. Always making sure students were doing well, greeting the new students, Dark Daughters, school work, dealing with Kenny and his oddness and whatever else. Estelle couldn't count on her fingers the many jobs Cooper had taken up. On-top of all that, her brother come in not too long ago and this new boy she had been eyeing. Teen love. Such a sudden thing.

She took a seat on the opposite side of her

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite had bit her bottom lip she couldn’t help it, she was infatuated with that arrogant Spanish man hoe, everything about him drew her in like a moth to the flame. She sat there thinking about him he is annoying and bratty like a kid, and so very arrogant and cocky….yet I can’t stop thinking about him, why is it Gabriel is always on my mind…its driving me nuts[/i] she thought to herself, distracted completely with her thoughts she did not hear the footsteps of Estelle the highpriestess of Nyx entering the rec hall, Aphrodite had suddenly heard Estelle as she spoke barely over a whisper that startled Aphrodite.

The young high priestess in training stood up instantly and made a fist over her head bowing “Of course I don’t mind High priestess I always value your company” she spoke with her head still bowed lifting it for a moment she sat down after Estelle sat and smiled looking at the beautiful high priestess, sometimes Aphrodite wondered what would happen if she complete the change, would she become a high priestess or would she have to wait for Estelle to retire, she also wondered if there could be two high priestesses at the same school, if there couldn’t then where could she go? Aphrodite never wanted to leave the house of night, this was her home. She wondered if she would be allowed to take a teaching post and teach. Of course she wanted to talk to the high priestess about this, but she was always so busy and surely Estelle had enough stress to deal with.

She smiled looking at the high priestess, she began to think about Aries and wondered how he was adjusting to school and if he was behaving, hopefully Aries would know better, because if he was acting up she would put him in line like she always did when they were both younger. Aphrodite let out a little yawn and she quickly silenced herself “forgive me it’s been a long night...I am very glad you joined me High priestess…There is much I wish to discuss with you…some of it is sort of trivial, but there are also other aspects that I believe is important that is if you’re not busy this evening.” she spoke respectfully to Estelle.

[Estelle Josephine]

Estelle's smile only grew with Aphrodite's respectful bow. Her small fingers criss-crossed into one another against her lap. She released them to straightened out her dress once more then replaced her clasped. She cleared her throat lightly, listening to Aphrodite speak. Of course, it was Estelle's job to make sure all is well with her. It wouldn't be right to ignore the high priestess in training... being a priestess herself. She felt, with any in training, it was her job to keep them comfortable but also busy and learning. Being just barely out of the comfort zone on jobs had brought well learned lessons to them. Aphrodite always pulled through her jobs with extraordinary success.

"Of course," she smiled. "I'm not busy. I had come out on a break so there's no reason I couldn't be able to speak with you."

Estelle took a deep breath in then let it out slowly. She was happy the rec hall hadn't been crowded. In honesty, if Estelle really wanted to alone she would have vacated to her personal room where no one could bother her. High priestesses never had luck in the school with being alone. Anywhere she went someone wanted to talk to her.

She wasn't lying to Aphrodite though. She didn't mind speaking with her. After being cooped up for hours in her office with no one to talk to, it sounded nice. Besides, she had odd feelings all day but hasn't yet been able to pin point where. She needed to get out and see where the troublesome feeling were coming from.

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite had watched the high priestess and was amazed with how every little movement from Estelle was so graceful, she wondered if the high priestess would be angry with her once she found out what she had done, after all Aphrodite had done something very unorthodox she had named Kenny Hao Nyx’s prophet to be her successor if something were to happen to her. This was unorthodox because in vampyre society it was the females who were in charge while the men were protectors and warriors the consorts to the female. Aphrodite knew Kenny was playful and conceited and a general pain in the ass at times, but he also lacked confidence in himself and he doubted himself at times especially when it came to his abilities.

Aphrodite also knew Kenny was special he was the prophet of Nyx, he could tune into the afterworld and receive the visions from beyond. The young high priestess in training believed if Kenny was to step in for her if something happened to her then he would learned to become stronger and believe in himself. “thank you….I think its best to get the serious issues down before I ask for your advice on the trivial issues…see I have done something Unorthodox…see I asked someone to do something for me…and at the time I knew the request was something no one has ever done before…I know because I have studied the history of our kind” she spoke softly taking a deep breath she swallowed the air.

Biting her lip for a moment she continued on “I have asked Kenny Hao to take my place of high priestess in training should something happen to me…I know this was meant to be your decision…and I know that no man has ever been a priestess…well in this case priest of Nyx, but I believe in Kenny even if he doesn’t believe in himself…I believe that if something were to happen to me and he took over my duties then he will grow stronger, trust in himself and believe in himself just like i…no just like Nyx believes in him” Aphrodite felt nervous and she immediately went quiet she wondered how the high priestess would react to this news. She looked down expecting hell to break loose.

[Estelle Josephine]

Estelle gave a silent sigh waiting for Aphrodite to speak. If Estelle learned anything from mentoring students it was that they had to come on their own terms. Pushing them only made them retreat and loose that faithful feeling in their mentors. Her thoughts strayed to Grace for a split second. She had adopted Grace only a few days ago. Nyx wasn't the only reason Estelle choose to be her mom, it was Grace in general. Even though Nyx told her to take the girl in, Estelle loved her. Her personality, her little features, everything. She hated Grace's past... Such a horrible thing to do to child, experiments. She almost gave a shudder. Her past reminded her so much of her own... when she was locked up with her father do to gang related activity. At least Estelle knew how to handle Grace when the building would come into conversation.

Aphrodite started speaking, which Estelle immediately tuned into her every word. Slowly though, letting them sink in before she gave her own words in return. This time was different from any other time she had to process words. She heard them plain and clear, that wasn't the problem, the problem was understanding them and her point of view. It didn't take long, of course. With Nyx's guidance she spoke what felt most right.

"Hmm, this is something that's never been done before." She paused pursing her lips for a moment. She tried listening for any help of Nyx, and it worked. She always knew when Nyx was filling her with truth. "I can't say I so much agree to Kenneth taking your place if something were to happen, however, I feel like it would do him some good. And Nyx thinks it's okay. I will be open minded about this. I take it Kenny made a promise to you. So therefore he is binded by that promise. I have no choice but to allow this, even if I didn't want to, but I will not agree to let him become a priest. He can fill in your place but it won't go further than that."

Estelle gave Aphrodite a reassuring smile. Sure, it was something she wouldn't have done herself unless Nyx asked, but she couldn't do anything about that now. She wasn't necessarily mad at her priestess in training. She was more concerned with how daring she had been making the decision. "With that said, I agree with you. Kenneth could use a confidence boast. I'm sure we've both figured out he hides most his insecurities with conceitedness. There's something else on your mind I can tell." Estelle didn't ask for Aphrodite to let her no. Again she was getting the student to come to her.

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite had watched the high priestess and kept as still as possible, she listened as the high priestess spoke and to her surprise Estelle wasn’t exactly mad. Aphrodite had let out a sigh from relief and she started breathing normally “Yes he has given me his word he would fufill the duties for me…should something happen to me, but if you wish it I will release him from his word…I just want to state that, I did not really premeditate this situation…I just wanted to leave the school in someone’s hands that I believe in…I love this place Estelle…this is my home and I never want to leave it. I want to protect this place and all who dwell within it with all my heart” she quickly chirped in nervously.

Aphrodite had brought her hands together, she knew she couldn’t get work up so she kept calm well there was something else I wanted to talk about, it’s about a guy…I really like him and I can assure you it’s not Kenny Hao, those feelings for him are long gone…he is like a sister to me now….this guy in some ways is worse than Kenny, he is totally obnoxious, and conceited, he checks out like every girl that crosses his path and he thinks he is Nyx’s gift to women, and the way he is to me he is so cocky and arrogant….he rally annoys me Estelle,but then…I can’t stop thinking about him I really like him…I want him to ask me to the spring dance I really do” she spoke she could feel her face burning red as she blushed, she had never spoken to anyone about guys before she hid her face in her hands embarrassed before looking at Estelle “I want him to go crazy about me, I want him obsessing over me as I have over him” she spoke blushing again.

[Estelle Josephine]

Estelle considered her releasing Kenny from his binding. The fact he was a male who would be taking in for her set her off in a different direction. Again, not mad just concerned. She wasn't only concerned about Kenny's binding but Aphrodite for having someone do this for her. Did she think something might happen to her? If so, she should have come to her first. She let it go, wanting to keep the conversation going. "No, you don't have to take him from his binding. I agree with you. I also believe he would learn greatly from the experience if something were to happen. However, the school might not agree. I will deal with any disagreements if something were to ever happen, and Goddess knows I don't want you hurt, when and if that time comes. I should tell you if it were to happen I will be Kenny's mentor as it would be most fitting. Unless you think otherwise. " She paused tilting her head then moving it back straight. "This is my home as well. My heart belongs here." She smiled.

Estelle chuckled. Kenny like a sister too her; such an Aphrodite moment. Her chuckle stopped and her face come right back to being serious but soft.

She knew exactly who Aphrodite talked about. It wasn't hard to take her description then eliminate young men on the schools list. A new student here has caught her eye. "I hope you want to be a young, classy lady, Aphrodite. But being classy and lady-like doesn't always mean you can't spice yourself up. Personally, I believe that you should be yourself around the young man. So many girls think they need to dress up perfect and act so different just to get someones attention. Do you know the problem with that? Girls end up having guys falling for them in a false way." She paused searching for the right words. What Estelle felt right might not feel right to her priestess in training. Everyone having a different opinion about things certainly changes the game up. "You came to me so that means you want my honest opinion. I'll give it to you and I hope you consider it. Don't change yourself. Don't wear more make-up or dress in.... sexier....clothes. Just be you. I've been around for a long time, you know. I'm old." She paused with a laugh.

"With all my years and experience it's best to avoid changing anything about yourself even if it's a little thing... Besides dressing up for dates, I don't believe you or any other girl should change herself. I've had many people interested in me by just being myself. As a teenager I did go through a stage where I purposely dolled myself up but I realized they didn't like me for me... but what I become. My advice to you, besides what I've already said, is spend more time with him. Ask him to hang out or flirt. Flirting is always fun for the guys." She had a sparkle in her eyes.

"As for his personality quirks you don't like, learn to accept them. You never know, he may settle down once he has one special girl but honestly... are you sure they annoy you?" Estelle doubted she completely one-hundred percent got annoyed by it.... although she has been wrong about things such as this before. "With all that said, if he get to know you he should like you and possibly even obsess in the way you want him to." Another silent sigh escaped her. Even though she was helping a student out she was still relaxing... and that had been what she come out to do.

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite had listened intently to Estelle’s words and how she would become Kenny’s mentor should something happen to her. she felt relief that Estelle would take care of her friend for her. Kenny was a good guy, but he needed someone to protect him and guide him, just until he became strong enough to believe in himself. There was once a time she did have strong feelings for Kenny, but he never seemed to notice her and eventually those feelings went away. Now there was only curiosity to see what mess he would get himself into and the desire to look out for him.

She nodded her head as Estelle spoke about being classy and Aphrodite was one hundred percent classy she hated the girls that would make themselves sluts just to get with a guy, she wanted to be herself maybe she would buy a new dress to get the attention, but nothing so far to stop being herself and being someone she wasn’t. Aphrodite knew she was fine just the way she was and she didn’t need to change for anyone.

Aphrodite listened carefully as her priestess continued to speak, each word was a word of wisdom, as Estelle recommended flirting that would have been a good idea except for the fact that Gabriel would be so big headed about it his arrogance would only grow. She blushed when Estelle asked if she was sure that gabriel’s quirks annoyed her “I would never think of doing anything so trashy as to be someone I am not, I am proud of who I am…and I am not going to be all trampish to impress him…and his personality is just annoying….well not really annoying….actually it’s kind of cute, I think it’s adorable…blast he has turned me into a babbling idiot” she spoke to Estelle and frowned

She smirked a little “I kind of like the idea of getting him to obsess over me…I should try harder to get to know him….Maybe I could offer him tutoring so he can catch up to everyone else, but what if he sees through it and gets even more pigheaded…its times like this I wish I had the affinity of predicting boys next move ” she spoke to herself and pouted.

[Pandora Luminita]

The library was a welcoming place for Pandora. A place she had many days since coming to the house of night just reading and researching her new found people. She’d learnt things there she’d have never learnt anywhere else. Bu tonight, she found herself bored with the place. Her stack of books had been depleted and her feet had become restless. Her shoes were making impatient clacking noises on the floor as she stared off into space, wondering what would become of her after she ahd read every book the library had to offer. It was a dreadful thought.

Dwelling on it, Pandora knew, would upset her. She knew she got rather tussled when she was upset and it was not enjoyable for the others around her. It was becoming rather depressing, sitting in the library on her own. The librarian was doing what the librarian had to do and as much as Pandora did enjoy their company she had to go and socialize with other fledglings. Normally, to do so she would have her roommate, or another female whom she had come to claim as her friend, escort her to the rec room or the dining hall as it was improper for a young lady to be out on her own. The circumstances were different when it came to the library because there was normally always an adult vampyre there and because Pandora could spend hours reading. Forcing someone to sit through that would be rather rude on her part.

With a sigh, Pandora stood up and brushed the skirt of her dress off as she did. Going to the rec room on her own seemed like something extremely out of character for her, but it wasn’t something she had never done. People had lives and it wasn’t the nineteenth century anymore, despite how proper Pandora acted. She certainly knew where she had picked up the mannerisms and politeness, but she also knew if she had lived in the nineteenth century that she’d be considered very low class. Women weren’t supposed to learn as it was the men’s job. Frankly Pandora thought that was rather beef-witted.

Wither her hair pulled back into a French braid, Pandora still found herself moving wisps or two back into their place. Her embroidered Cropped jacket held the insignia of a fifth former and it was something she wore proudly. Her shoes were vintage, but it only added to her proper look. Remembering she had left herself some tea to make, as well as a plug in kettle and some china in the rec room it made her smile a little brighter as she left the library and made her way down to the rec room.

Upon arrival she noted there were a few fledglings and vampyres in the room. She recognized Estelle, the high priestess, and Aphrodite, the high priestess in training. They seemed to be in discussion and Pandora would think rude of her if she just barged in on them. Simply, she made her way to the small kitchen the rec room had and found her kettle. She filled it to the brim with water before putting the lid back on and flipping the switch to turn it on. She found herself some cherry tea. It was red and sweet and didn’t need sugar or milk or honey to be added. It was one of her favourite. Pandora pulled out a cup for herself but it made her wonder if not offering the others tea would be more rude than barging in on their conversation. She digresses .

Pushing the fact that she could be rude aside, Pandora made her way towards the priestess and the priestess in training. She bowed before both of them before smiling ever so eloquently. ”I don’t mean to intrude, and forgive me if I am, but I was making some tea and I was wondering if either of you would enjoy a cup as well.”

[/color] Pandora was very polite in her speaking. She always was extremely formal. Most thought it odd, but people who knew her got used to it.

[Estelle Josephine]

Ah, good. Aphrodite wouldn't act like someone else to grab his attention. She already knew this, of course, but hearing it made her smile. Then her smile turned into a chuckle. "Wouldn't that affinity come in handy." she gave a soft giggle like laugh. "You'll do fine. I'm sure he could use some torturing anyway so win, win right?" Estelle gave a wink showing Aphrodite she didn't see a problem with her own idea.

Memories of her past consort flashed through her. They drug her back a bit, forcing her to remember him and his loss. Ever since she had lost her human consort, her love, she hadn't tried dating again. It's been so long since she's been out with a man. Turning down any guy that ever had interest in her. She hated hurting their feelings... She just wasn't ready yet.

Footsteps broke her moment of flashbacks. One of the most well mannered students entered the rec hall. Pandora had made her way to the little kitchen, probably not wanting to interrupt.

"Anything else you need? I still have time to spare." Estelle forced herself to stray away from the memories. A lot of them were pleasant, but there was also the loss and then after math of her loss; which wasn't something she wanted to relive.

"I'd love a cup, Pandora, thank you." her smile was bright with Pandora's bow and formal way of speaking. Her head turned to Aphrodite, wondering if she would like a cup as well. "I don't know how you make your tea, but make my cup how you would yours." she took a satisfied, silent breath in.

[Aries Enali]

Freedom. At least for a little while. There was so much homework to do and he hadn't even worked out yet. How his sister could find the time to do everything she does, he'll never know. He could barely do his homework with time running out on him. "I could be working to slow. Or the professors just need to assign less. I bet Aphrodite gets special attention so she doesn't need to do homework. It would make since..... she does so much without having to worry about that."

Aries rarely ever got to see his sister and when he did he at least tried to regain what they lost over the years that he refused to speak to her. He didn't feel guilty over it anymore, however, he still had making up to do. Making up wasn't easy when she had everyone else to worry about too.

He sighed, shoving his hands into his jean pockets. He only had on half his school uniform today. The school uniforms reminded him of some strange fashion show. House of Night schools, he's noticed, aren't cheap. They at least have nice things. Even the library has in new computers.

"Rec hall." he decided turning a corner. He hoped it would be quiet. Lately, he's been sleeping in and feeling sick. He started coughing some this morning... not to mention a horrible headache throbbing against his skull. His color was even slightly off. "I must be stressing." he thought shrugging.

Pandora's voice hit his ears, then Estelle's voice. The high priestess, his sister, and his new friend were the only ones in. Good, it would be somewhat quiet.

"Hope you don't mind if I ask for some tea. Might help my headache." he smiled politely, standing beside her. "Estelle." He bowed formally then nodded at his sister. "Sis." No bowing for her. It felt all to weird to bow to his sister, surely she understood that.

((ooc; my posts will probably stay between 300 and 500 now that I have two characters in.))

[Aphrodite Cooper]

Aphrodite nodded her head with agreement to the high priestess. An affinity for handling men would be such a wonderful gift, she listened to the high priestess giggle and was reassured by the high priestess nodding her head she smiled. Aphrodite was asked if there was anything else she would like to talk about as Aphrodite was about to answer she looked as a new fledgling rock up, the fledgling really wasn’t new she was in the same year as Aphrodite a 5th former her name was Pandora Luminita, it was an interesting name she chose for herself. She was very polite and offered to make tea, to which Aphrodite declined politely. The young high priestess in training waited for Estelle to finish telling the order and then she heard the voice of her little brother. Aphrodite looked in his direction and smiled she stood up and went to hug Aries.

Aphrodite had loved her brother he was a good kid, when he wasn’t being a royal pain in the ass. It sucked how she rarely got to see him, it wasn’t easy managing her duties as a high priestess in training, and the duties as a student yet being a sister as well it was a lot of burdens she had to carry she kissed her brother cheek and wasn’t paying attention to how pale he looked. She pulled his hands and dragged Aries to take a seat and sat beside him she wrapped her arm around his neck “about time you got your butt here Aries…where you been? ….wait I hope your not doing anything seedy little brother” she spoke in a soft voice, she looked to Estelle and grinned “well high priestess…there was something I was curious about…I have actually been wondering about it for the longest of time, but didn’t ask because I was afraid of sounding foolish….I was wondering what would happen to me if I completed the change, I mean I am a high priestess in training…so if I make the change what then” she was fixated on estelle for a moment while she kept her arm around her little brother lovingly.


sorry about short response muse is cheating on me

[Pandora Luminita]

Pandora gave a sweet smile when her high priestess in training politely declined her offer of tea. The drink was not for everyone. She could never understand how people could stomach coffee... even with sugar and milk added it was always so bitter and quite frankly very gross. She nodded at the priestesses order of tea and felt inclined to go and make it right away. The voice of Aries, one of her newer male friends stopped her from leaving right away. ”Of course, I do take my tea plain if that is alright. The flavour is cherry, it does not need to be sweetened”

[/color] Pandora said with a polite smile. Her mannerisms were as pristine as ever. ”Did you see nurse at all Aries? She may be able to give you something to help with your pain”[/color] Pandora asked, her tone was softer, friendlier. She wasn’t so uptight around people she felt comfortable with. When it came to the high priestess and her protégé, Pandora felt it was only proper to be formal. With Aries she wasn’t, he was her friend.

She curtsied and walked back to where she had her tea set up as Aphrodite wrapped her arms around her brother. Being an only child Pandora never experienced the kind of love siblings could share. It wasn’t as if she hated it, she had friends... many of the maids and nannies brought their children with them to work when Pandora was younger... not so much when she was older but she kept in touch. She may have been popular but she was weird. She was the exception to the popularity rules. She was weird, yes, but she knew exactly what to say and when to say it. She remembered things most people wouldn’t. She was a master at charm and blackmail... depends if you were on her good side or not.

Pandora poured her own tea in the china first. The porcelain glasses seemed so delicate, but they were strong. The most delicate looking things always surprised you with their strength. Pandora took another glance up at the group. Aries was looking paler than usual, he seemed off. She hoped it was just a cold but she couldn’t shake the weird feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Pandora poured to more cups of tea before taking them over to Estelle and Aries ”Be very careful, the tea is hot. It should cool in a minute or so.”[/color] Pandora said setting the tea before Estelle as well as Aries. She stole another glance at Aries ”Aries, are you positively okay? You’re looking ill.”[/color] Pandora felt rude for pointing it out, but she had to know if he was sick or not. She could not get the feeling in the pit of her stomach to go away

[Estelle Josephine]

Estelle smiled sweetly as another student entered the room. Aries. He had only arrived a month or two ago. It had had been a pleasure watching Aphrodite and Aries get closer once again. Family was such an important thing and so many families were broken... Not these two, they fixed their problems with ease.

He was looking very off today though. Estelle had seen this look many, many times while running the Chicago's House of Night. Rejection. She forced a smile to stay on her face so Aphrodite could spend time with him before the rejection completely took over. She didn't want to ruin the moment the two were having with sorrow and pain of what was going to happen. She could, of course, be wrong. He may just be getting a small cold or stressing himself out too much; but it wasn't often she had been wrong about these misfortunes.

"I'll take your word for it, dear." she smiled at Pandora, letting the others carry on a conversation. She could drink tea however it was made unless the person drowned it in sugar. She liked her sweets, but only in doses.

"You would continue your studies, of course." she answered Aphrodite when the chatter ceased. "You can stay here, if you like, to study longer. After you feel comfortable enough you could try finding a House of Night. If you chose to stay here I'm sure I can come up with something for you to do."

Estelle couldn't give up her position at this House of Night. Not after years of being here, now after getting the place back up and running smoothly. She needed to stay anyway. With the red vampyres and werecats she promised Nyx that she would keep everything under control.

"Merci." a thank you in French for Pandora. She picked up her cup, placing it close to her lip, to blow on it. She took a very small sip to test the hotness better. It didn't burn her, because she had blew on it, but would need to cool of for a minute or so. "Tastes lovely as is."
