Lucian was nervous the second Raze and Amelia were out of sight. He wished he had accompanied them, but secretly he wanted Raze to get some alone time with Lucian. He had been shocked when Raze went to his knees, asking for his daughter's hand, however, it had not upset him. Raze had been with him from the start of the revolution. He trusted no one more than Raze. When he actually thought about it, Amelia and Raze had a connection from the beginning. He smiled. When he had carried Amelia's body back to the camp many of th men were startled. They insisted that they were too dangerous and that a women would not be able to survive. Raze was one of the first to speak up and encourage Lucian to keep her, teach her, and keep her for company. Men were so rough and harsh. Amelia's presense immediately brought softness and manners to the camp. Raze had taken a liking to her and became one of her close mentors. He taught her to fight and helped educate her about nature and other worldly things. He had left when she was meerly a teenager coming into her own and now Lucian could see why Raze had an interest in her. He had to stop many of the men that were seeing her development. Those men only wanted one thing.

When the horses arrived with no owners, his heart began to beat faster, but he calmed himself, remembering they had to make a portion on foot, but he could smell the rain coming and knew that mother nature was not going to be kind to them. The sun set and he began to pace so he tried to read. Reading turned to just staring at a page and tapping his finger loudly.

He then went to look out the window. His mind waundered until finally his ears picked up the faint sounds of laughter. His heart swelled as he watched Amelia and Raze crest the nearby hill. He tried not to race down to meet them, but itwas Amelia's first hand on mission.

As he aproached them, he thought their light spirits meant the mission went off weithout a hitch, however, upon seeing their attire, he knew otherwise. Amelia instantly ran into her father's arms, hugging him tightly. "Told you we would be fine,' Amelia says smiling.

"Should I ask what happened to your clothes?" Lucian says looking from one to the other.

"Let's just say," Raze says thinking,"we may have lost our clothes, but we got what we went for."

"I," Amelia says lowering her head,"should not be around humans for awhile longer."

Lucian looks shocked,"My! You two were busy! I've gather the men, I would like to see what you have brought."

Amelia pulled out the papers and handed them to Lucian. Lucian shuffled through them with great interest. His brow slowly furrows lower and lower then he looks to the two. "This is just the information we were looking for," Lucian says,"Unfortunate, but accurate, although this information about William is interesting..." Amelia smiles. "Why don't you get some...actual clothes and meet us in the hall," he says to Amelia. Amelia kisses her father on the cheek and flashes a smile at Raze before walking down the hall.

Raze restrains a shiver as she walks away. Lucian looks at Raze then down the hall to Amelia as she walks away. "Walk with me," Lucian bids him,"I want to know what happened, and don't be afraid to tell me anything."

"I'm not," Raze says,"Amelia actually saved my life."

"Really!" Lucian says shocked.

"I told her to hide, but she killed a man coming up behind me," Raze says.

"And the clothes?" Lucian says smirking.

"We ran out of options so I forced her into changing," Raze said.

"And you did this by..."

"Getting her really really angry," Raze says. Lucian nods his head. "I do regret what I said to her, but I think she understands what I was trying to do."

"I'm sure," Lucian says knowing what if feels like to do whatever necessary in a dire situation.

"We changed and as we ran away I got hit with an arrow. When I unchanged, so did she," Raze scratches the back of his head embarassed,"When I passed out...she again carried me to safety. She really saved the day. You raised a very smart and brave daughter."

Lucian felt himself swell with pride, then he stops. "So what happened next..."

"What do you mean? We hid, Amelia got us clothes and we came here when the rain stopped," Raze says confused.

Lucian raises an eyebrow and smirks at Raze,"You mean to tell me nothing happened with the two of you while you were stark naked trapped in a dark cave as it rained outside?"

Raze was slightly taken aback for Lucian to be so direct with a question. "No!" Raze immediatley answers.

Lucian looks at Raze and knows that that is the truth. He knew Raze liked his daughter and he also knew that Raze would never take advantage of Amelia. Raze was an honest man...that didn't mean Lucian couldn't mess with his head though. "Okay," Lucian says smiling and walks away.

"Lucian, I'm telling the truth," Raze says so confused.

"I know my friend," Lucian says, his face still holding that same smile.

"I would never," Raze says very upset until Lucian cuts him off.

"Raze, calm down," Lucian insists still smiling,"I trust you completely with my daughter. She is a grown woman and can make her own decisions with what she does in her own life."

Lucian then walks away. "We didn't do anything," Raze says one more time only causing Lucian to shake his head and nearly laugh.
