While standing in front of his door Linri was extremely nervous. He had double checked everything with Jaime. There shouldn"t be any mistakes. Everything seemed perfect but that was what made him nervous. There was no such thing as perfect as the world. Everything could be improved. If you think something was perfect that was only because you haven"t found the fault in it just yet."I"m coming" came a feminine voice from the house.
Linri knew that it was his mother opening the door so he was relaxed a little. If it was his father he might have tried to go find the guys who beat Linri up like this.
Once she opened the door Lyra was shocked. His son was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess and there was a girl helping him up.
"Sweetie are you alright what happened?Quick get inside!" Lyra said worriedly.
"Mom relax. It"s not as bad as it looks. Ouch!" Linri grabbed to his side while faking pain.
She quickly showed them to the kitchen and went to bathroom to get the first aid kit. While they were sitting his father stormed to the kitchen.
"Who did this" It was such a simple question but Linri knew what his father meant. As soon as he gave some names he was going to find them and beat them up. That was just the kind of man he was. He didn"t care if you were in the right or wrong as long as you hurt his son you would have to pay for it.
"Dad, don"t worry. I also said the same thing to mom it"s not as bad as it looks. Also these are war scars." said Linri. While he was saying the last scene he gave a quick glance to Jaime in order to give his father a signal.
Seeing Linri"s glance Arkady finally noticed the cute girl sitting next to Linri and seemed like he understood something. He sat in front of Linri while smiling.
"Ohhh, "war" scars huh, tell me your "heroic" tale then!" said Arkady while making a little "good job!" sign towards him.
Just then his mother also came inside the room together with the first aid kit.
"I also would like to know that" said Lyra while taking out iodine and some cotton from the first aid kit. Her voice was obviously not as warm as his father"s was when asking the question.
"Here is what happened- " Linri told them the story they agreed upon with Jaime while also glorifying himself a little. " It would have been even better if I could beat them up but this was the best I could do *sigh* Ouch!" When he said the last part his mother pressed the iodine soaked cotton. Apparently she didn"t like him boasting in front of her. In retro respect she was kinda right. One was a prodigal Kitsune while the other was the heir to a whole Werewolf clan. So it didn"t really seemed as much compared to their achievements in the past. But seriously couldn"t she just let him bask in the glory a little more?
"That"s my son. You did good. Well done. I am proud of you." said Arkady pridefully.
"Dad" Linri looked into Arkady with tearful eyes
"Son" Arkady looked back while also tearful eyes. It seemed like they were having some kind of conversations through their eyes .
"Dad- Ouch" Her mother pressed the cotton again almost saying cut the bulls.h.i.+t.
So both Linri and Arkady returned to reality.
"So who are you young lady? What"s your name?" Arkady changed the subject to Jaime in order to spare himself from his wife"s fury.
At that point everyone was looking at Jaime. She also came out of the trance she was in. At first she was worried about Linri so she was watching Lyra tend to his wounds. Then when Arkady and Linri started to have their scherade she was thinking "What a weird pair of father and son". Spark was Max"s RP buddy so she obviously knew that Arkady was based off of his IRL father. That was why it was so weird. Because that would mean if this was the real world his father would have the exact same reactions. If it was just a RP character that would be fine but that was his real father. So when she heard the question she was deep in thought. "Just who was Kasaix?"
"Huh? Oh yeah sorry about my manners. My name is Jaime Voxx. I was saved by your son there and-" so Jaime also told the story they agreed upon. When she was finished Arkady was a little emotional.
"Don"t worry. You can stay here as long as you want. Mafia or whatever he is they can not do anything against you as long as you are here." said Arkady rea.s.suringly. He was not going to let all the work his done go to waste. He obviously wanted this girl to stay here. If she could marry his son even better. She was cute, she seemed smart and she was well mannered. Where else could he find such a bride. He was seriously proud of his son for picking up this gem.
"You are awesome Dad!" said Linri excitedly. First phase of the plan was done. Tomorrow he was going to start working on the second phase.
"Dear! Are you sure about that." Lyra was not upset that they let the girl stay but she was upset that Arkady didn"t ask her anything. If he did not give a reasonable answer he was going to sleep on the couch tonight.
"Of course" replied Arkady. Then they seemed to have some kind of conversation telepathically. Linri was sure this was really telepathy considering her background not the kind of one he had with his father just now.
"Fine then. We have an empty guest room anyway. So you can stay as long as you like" Linri didn"t know what his father said but Lyra seemed more warm all of a sudden. Quite curious indeed.
"Oh by the way can I look at that?" asked Lyra while pointing at Jaime"s sword.
Jaime was surprised but she gave it anyway.
"Where did you get this?" asked Lyra after giving the sword a through look.
"It"s my family heirloom. This and a book for some sword method. I dont know their background but they always belonged to our family as long as I can remember." said Jaime truthfully. Even though she was the creator she never really gave these a background so it shouldn"t be a problem that she didn"t know about them.
"What did you say your surname was?" asked Lyra. Now even Linri was getting curious. Just what was it that picked her mother"s curiosity.
"Voxx" Jaime did not know why she was asking but she replied anyway.
"Any parents or siblings?" Lyra seemed to get more and more into it.
"None. An accident happened and now I am the last member of family." said Jaime with a little grief. She was really sad because she knew that if she can not find a way back she was really going to all alone in this world.
"Have you trained with them yet?"
"No, never really seemed necessary, till today at least" then Jaime gave a worried look towards Linri.
"That"s a shame. Sorry for reopening your wounds sweetie." said Lyra while giving her back the sword.
"Linri sweetie why don"t you show her to the guest room. It"s not like you can"t walk right" said Lyra
"Okay" grudgingly Linri accepted. Right now he just wanted to take some pain killers and hit the sack.
As they left the room Lyra looked towards Jaime with profound eyes. Since they went upstairs Arkady finally couldn"t hold himself and started smirking.
"Hha, that"s my son alright. He even got my lady killer moves." said Arkady truthfully. He was really impressed with the little demon.
"What lady killer moves are you talking about. Anyway do you even know who did he bring here?" asked Lyra.
"What? Wasn"t she some normal girl?" asked Arkady doubtfully. He honestly couldn"t see anything special with the girl.
"That"s why my dear you have to read more. Did you see that sword? That was the "Silver Blade" and it seems like she is the next "Sword Maiden"" said Lyra while smugly looking at Arkady.
"WHAT! Sword Maiden? You mean THE SWORD MAIDEN? But they were missing for centuries. Aren"t they already extinct? Also if she is the heiress why was she hara.s.sed by some thugs?" He was still doubtful about what his wife was saying. Because if she was right the severity of the situation would rise by tenfold.
"Yep she is exactly that. Some members must have survived that calamity and protected their biggest secret in hopes that one day they can rise again. It seems like she never trained in the sword before. Also something might have happened to her family before they could tell her the secret."said Lyra and couldn"t help but adding.
"It seems like your son has even better luck than you with ladies. She found the Sword Maiden before she even awakened. It"s not easy to erase this from her heart if he plays his cards right. Then again I don"t know if this the right thing?" Arkady could feel the worry from her wife"s tone.
"What do you mean? Isn"t it even better if our bride is the Sword Maiden?"
"Normally yes! But Linri ... well you know... he is "normal". He can not survive that kind of life" Lyra was still hesitating while saying "normal". It seemed like she was expecting something but also wasn"t sure about it.
"You know that"s a baseless worry. He is my son. When the day comes of course he is going to awaken his Werewolf bloodline. I am 100% sure about that." said Arkady without a shred of hesitation or worry.
"But you know there wasn"t a single mix breed that awakened their bloodline till now. If it was gonna happen it would have happened by now." said Lyra.
"You are worrying too much. Anyway let"s go I was still watching a movie before that rascal came back. At this point I already missed the first half. I dont want to miss the other one."
So they left just like that.
