I made my way down stairs slowly, dreading having to talk to Tamlin. Lucien's suspicious stares wouldn't help either. Everything was so familiar, but the familiarity did nothing for me. If anything it saddened me. I remembered when I used to feel safe and at home. I remember even loving this place. Now all I can think of is Rhys and Velaris. When I make it to the doors of the dinning table, I stop just outside listening to Lucien and Tamlin talk. " You must be carful with her Tam," Lucien hisses at him. "I know," Tamlin say impatiently. "I lost her once because I didn't listen, it won't happen again. I'll do anything I can to keep her safe." I, not wanting to hear where the conversation went, decided to play with Lucien. I concentrate extremely hard and manage to shape shift into Elain. Slowly I turn into the dinning room, checking to see if Tamlin was facing away from me. When I saw that he was I made my way in, making sure Tamlin didn't hear me. Lucien raises his eye to me and shoots up in shock. I instantly turn back to myself, Lucien's eyes growing wide in surprise. When Tamlin turns around and sees me, his gaze shifts back to Lucien confused. I feigning innocence say, "what's wrong?" "Nothing," he answers. "Just a little on edge." I walk over to sit next to Tamlin, and begin to fill my plate with food. "You think you can eat all of that?" Tamlin says while eyeing my plate. "If not I'm sure you can help," I reply looking down at the mountain of food. My stomach growls and I realize just how famished I am. Not even bothering to talk anymore I dive in. Soon enough the whole plate is empty. Looking at my plate I still feel slightly hungry but figure I just ate to fast. "So," I say looking between Tamlin and Lucien. "When will I be filled in on things?" Tam chokes on his drink, coughing while saying, "Wait, you were serious about that? I figured it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing." Gripping the arm rest I look up at him, trying to keep a smile on my face. "Yes, I was for your information. I mean the least you could do is include me in things now. It's not like I'll have much else to do." "Well you could try planing the wedding. Ianthe shouldn't be a problem anymore. I took care of her this morning," Tam says, not noticing how I grind my teeth at what he just said. "I think that's a great thing for her to do," states Lucien. He looks and me warily, as if he were trying to gage where my loyalties really stood. "Well the last time I did that it obviously went well. And don't you think that right now is probably not the best time to be planing a wedding? I mean with all the potential danger it couldn't possibly be safe. And if I can't plan the wedding I'll need something to do." Tamlin looks at me, trying to figure out my emotions, looking as if he was hoping I was joking. "I'll think about it," he claims as he rises to from his seat. Lucien and I follow suit. With Tam walking in front of me and Lucien, he doesn't see the sneer I give Lucien. As we walk out of the dinning room I know it will be the same. I will be kept in the dark for a while, but not for long.
