Newest Additions:
Hellsalem's Lot
November 1 through December 27
Coos of the newest addition to Klaus' household could be heard from glass panels of a large greenhouse where sun rays shined. Plants and vegetation of all kinds surrounded all four corners and were spread out as far, as the human eyes could see. A few Silver Birch, Red cut leaf maple, and Bottlebrush buckeye were strategical placed through the area. Creating a forested area with this massive space that had gravel walkways and a few wooden benches laid out. A hidden spot in the center of all this greenery was where family sharing the first meal of the day could be found. Gilbert and Miss. Mikayla was walking around the occupied table clearing off an empty dish or refilling someone's glass. Sometimes being asked by someone about the current event or how the weather had been for them. Got an answer from one of them in some way or another when they were would be stopped temporarily beside someone.
Edmund was reclining in his seat and on his second cup of black coffee having lively chat with Klaus about holiday plans. Anaxagorou was in the middle of patting Eberhardt on his head as he reminded LeClaire to not feed the dog her table scraps. LeClaire guiltily listens to the lecture about how harmful human food is to dogs as she stared at her empty plate. Martin sat in between his fathers with his nanny spoon-feeding him blended English breakfast, just happily gigging. Riesgraf was talking with Leo about attending the Station- X release party as his guest as he showed his invitation. Lady Taliyah was sitting close to a ruffled and white baby bassinet with a rattle in one of her hands and smiling. Klaus would soon come to terms with his brother about what they were going to do about the upcoming holiday season. Certain sonic monkey was chewing away at mini banana- nut muffins in a contain matter while accepting fruit from Gilbert and Miss. Mikayla.
"How is he?" He asked looking toward Lady Taliyah and the baby bassinet.
"Wonderful." She answered unable to look away. "He was 47 hours and 27 minutes of labor."
"Klaus was 56 hours and 10 minutes." Edmund and the nanny recalled. "I was 6 days, 16 hours, and 8 minutes."
"EDMUND!" Klaus turns a new shade of red.
Leo was unable to finish drinking his chilled orange juice as Anaxagorou was left to cover LeClaire's ears when conversation carried on. Lady Taliyah went on to say that she was in 2 and a half hours of labor with Riesgraf before he came out. Was interrupted when Martin threw his sippy cup on to the table as if he was try to get everyone to change the subject. Happen sooner then later when Gilbert brought over wireless landline for either Klaus or Lady Taliyah.
"Blitz T. Abrams is on the line. He wishes to congratulate you on our newest addition." Gilbert spoke to them. "Wants to speak to one of your privately..."
Klaus would take the call since he didn't want added stress placed on his fiance was still in her 6 weeks of recovery after giving birth. A kiss on side of his lips was given by her balm covered lips before he took the wireless receiver and walked away. Wanting this conversation to be private when out his seat he would go and into branches of his flora collection. Had Edmund waiting for his brother was completely out of sight before he smirked and looked to everyone. Bringing up the plans that all of them had for Leo's pregnant sister and Mr. Mclaughlin coming a to stay with them also. How they were going to break the news to Klaus since he was never told about the these extra guests coming.
"They can stay with use when ever you fun out of room." Edmund offered as he swung his fork around.
"That wouldn't burden you?" Leo asked not want bother anyone.
Leo ended up having rattle belonging to Klaus' new born thrown at his head just when Lady Taliyah lifted the new born from the bassinet. Wrapped in a hand knitted blanket pf a blue coloring with the Von Reinherz crust on the center. Held within his mother's arms to right about where her chest line with good view point of Leo and his Uncles.
"Seems his objects to you calling your- self a burden." Lady Taliyah informs Leo.
"The day I agreed to spend my life with this muscle head." Anaxagorou mentions Edmund. "Was the day I knew everything would change."
"I haven't regretted my chose once." Edmund happily sighed.
Martin would repeated say dadd over and over again when handed back his sippy cup by his nanny when she refilled the juice. Left Leo to feel defeated at the hands of Riesgraf's nephews when he dismissed the topic of being in someone's way. Being pulled from his stupor when he was asked about seconds of his usual cereal before getting ready to leave. He would have objected too, if Sonic didn't lift one his mini muffins to Leo rather enthusiastically. Would be turned down by him as he quickly got up from his seat and saying he would meet them in the foyer. Already turning away to run the other way from everyone with Sonic jumping on to his shoulder and ready to run off.
"We have a hour or so before we leave." Riesgraf pulled a move Zapp would usually use.
Small strings that glittered like newly plucked crystal from the soil of the Earth would attached them selves to Leo's clothes and skin. Felt like a small prickle to Leo over straggling sensation he got when Zapp used his Blade Form Two, Sky-Slicing Strands.
"Can your please sit down and be apart of this moment?" Riesgraf asked as kindly as he could.
"...ok..." Leo would seat back down.
He then could feel the strings dislodging from his person and all apart piece by piece until Riesgraf would flick one of his wrist. He explains the move was a thinly based string that was strong as a spider's silk and sparkles like gemstone. Never been used since he was still trying to improve his accuracy when a time to use that ability ever happened. That he would end up using on someone three years older then him with someone staring at the mini scene take place.
"Leo are you ok?" Lady Taliyah asked in a startled state.
Edmund gave a thumbs up and Anaxagorou could only nod his head in approval as LeClaire fussed about wanting to that move. Eberhardt was to busy finally eating out of his forgotten food bowl when Gilbert gave him his usual kibble. Martin was having his mouth wiped off by the nanny and the newborn had fallen asleep in his mother's arms. Sounds of a metal bowls being shoved a crossed a floor ended up filling the silent void that was left by Leo going quiet. Gilbert and Miss. Mikayla were to busy clearing off the table to give their own two sense about what was going on.
"Yes, just trying to figure out how Gilbert and Miss. Mikayla are going to be handle what they usually do with extra hands." Leo could feel his head aching figuring everything out.
"We'll come to that hurtle when we do." Edmund shrugged.
Anaxagorou already knew that Edmund had that problem already covered with that phone call he made to head of Von Reinherz household staff. The woman was happy to hear from the eldest of the Von Reinherz children as they spoke of his life. Which led to her assuring him that she would send suitable help to Hellsalem's Lot to help the existing staff.
"I have so much to do to get the guest rooms ready." Lady Taliyah sighs.
"New friends!" LeClaire and Martin cheered.
"Zapp isn't going to much help when he finds out Mr. Abrams' daughter is coming."Anaxagorou was already getting a headache.
Thought of Zap going after a girl three years younger then Leo was a sight that Edmund had to witness when ever he visited the office. Rumors about her becoming a noted Fangoria Sanguine hunter before Riesgraf were spun around. Besides tales she came from relationship that her father most of shared with a female Blood Breed born some years ago. Anything else about her was about her being a old fashion kind of girl goes on escorted outings with boy her own age. She knew nothing about the modern technology beyond the use of a flip phone or bunky laptop size of briefcase.
"Ready to make acquaintance with someone in your age range that isn't me?" Riesgraf would wink at Leo.
Klaus returning to the table as he handed over the wireless receiver back to Gilbert with news about Mr. Abrams and his daughter. Coming into town to discuss his daughter becoming a use to Libra as a agent to better her hunting skills. Where she could stay and even live would be figured out by them since Mr. Abrams was dear friend of the Von Reinherz family. They had always felt indebted to him for bringing Klaus back from the edge of becoming a full Blood Breed.

A unmarked town car could be found parked beside a private airstrip belonging to John F. Kennedy International Airport. Riesgraf was sitting on the hood of this vehicle with his Ipod attached to a small speaker as a basket bassinet sat near him. Industrial metal music from Germany and Britain played on feed back mode to fill the quiet void. Leo and Lady Taliyah could be found stand a few feet away from the side of the car's driver's side just looking toward the sky. Anaxagorou could be found sitting on the roof of the vehicle with military grade binoculars in his hand. Everyone of them were dressed for the chilly night air since the Autumn season was upon Hellsalem's Lot just days ago.
"Aren't you worried that kind of music being harmful?" Leo asked about what Riesgraf was playing to put his baby brother to sleep.
"No, traditional lullabies don't seem to work." Anaxagorou answer for her. "Believe me I've witnessed it with my own eyes."
Recalling first few months spent in Von Reinherz estate back in Germany when Lady Taliyah originally hired him to be Riesgraf's nanny*. Where he learned was that Riesgraf responded better to rock music then a traditional lullaby for sleep. Always kept on a low volume on the speakers for him when not played through his headphones or set of earbuds.
"You can borrow the list of music the head of the house staff back keeps." Anaxagorou got chills remembering Kathrine.
"She always been a helpful one." Lady Taliyah smiles at the memory.
Leo could only awkwardly nod his head for Lady Taliyah and Anaxagorou as he ended up turning his had back to the vehicle. Riesgraf had turned the music he was playing down a few degrees when his baby brother started to stir in his bassinet. Coos of the newborn followed by his little arms reaching out beyond his blanket and rim of his basket-like structure. Got him nudge by Lady Taliyah to go check out the newborn instead of stand with her and look a the sky. Made him nervous since only time he held a baby was his sister when she was a newborn and that was long ago. He would share with Lady Taliyah in a nervous matter that Anaxagorou would end up scuffing as he looked through his binoculars.
"Just go, I'll handle him." Lady Taliyah whispered to Leo.
Leo slowly walked toward the hood of the vehicle until the fender stopped would stop him and he could do was stare. Riesgraf would greet him and ask him about wanting to see his baby brother by allowing him to lift Vinzent in careful matter. Sliding one hand under the neck and head, and the other under the bottom and hips. Listening careful to how to hold the giggling newborn swaddled comfortably in his blankets with big green eyes looking up at him. Being assured by Riesgraf that was Vinzent's way of showing how curious and accepting he was of Leo . Describing how his baby brother stared at him when he was given the chance to hold him in hospital's delivery room. Set the mood for the two with Leo calming down when he started to feel comfortable with small bundle in his arms. Smile that the new born wore would also be mirrored by Leo and Riesgraf looking down at him as he was carefully held.
"Incoming!" Anaxagorou announced from the roof. "by the looks, its a Lear 40XR."
Back into the Bassinet Vinzent would go by Leo in fear of the calamity that follows Mr. Abrams were ever he may go. Riesgraf would slide off the hood he was sitting on after putting away his speakers and ipod into a bag swung over his shoulders. He'd ended up taking the Bassinet with him when he went behind the vehicle with Lady Taliyah calling for Leo. Anaxagorou stayed on the vehicle's roof with watchful eyes over the plane when aircraft's neared runway. Lady Taliyah ended up hugging Leo with her eyes clenched shit in hope landing procedures didn't end in a crash. Took everyone by surprise when plane didn't end up on a pile of twisted metal and fire when those wheels touched the run away. Would start unloading when the hatch was open to allow passengers to step out with their baggage in hand.
Sight of Mr. Abrams walking down those small stairs with a teenage girl reddest eyes one of her age has ever seen. Pale skin and long, dark brown tresses tied back into a ponytail added to her eye catching appearance with each step. Red lipstick and painted nails with french tips were only cosmic details that were on her person. Victorian styled top and denim cut offs she wore with Thigh length stockings decorated with single cross on outer him. Heeled boots she was walking in were same length Lady Taliyah wore her heels and had a steam punk theme to them. Trances of a tattoo was on her right thigh and could barely be seen under clothes she wore on her leg.
"Leo be a dear look upon the girl with eye please." Lady Taliyah hinted at him. "Anaxagorou put in a call to Father Antonescu, Both Klaus and Edmund, and Gilbert."
"Already on it." Anaxagorou was already accepting a call from Edmund.
Leo step back a few steps when his opened eyes peered at the girl and found she carried a aura that was mixture of crimson and white. Create a lighten red that one could mistake as the color pink by people not familiar with Blood Breeds. Would he share with a sighing Lady Taliyah before allowed to walk with her to approach Mr. Abrams and this girl. Riesgraf would soon join them as he ended up placing a baby occupied bassinet to Anaxagorou on vehicle's roof. To be wished good luck with the girl since he shared a warning she seemed to share Von Reinherz's cursed legacy. Had Riesgraf intrigued when he ran to walk on other side of his mother in order to meet this girl beside Mr. Abrams.
"Long time no see and how is the growing family?" Mr. Abrams asked look toward Anaxagorou on the vechile's roof with baby bassinet next to him.
"Klaus is still having a hard time adapting to be a father the third time." Lady Taliyah recalled the memory. "LeClaire and Riesgraf are fulfilling the role of older siblings quite well."
"He's a insist Zapp repealor." Riesgraf couldn't get a enough of Zapp always running away from Vinzent.
Laughs went all around with them before Mr. Abrams would introduce his daughter or the teenage girl that was behind him. She stepped up with her hands folded to her side and eyes staring at Anaxagorou on roof then people standing before them. Guessing the ex- officer was there for security measures for their sake being she was risk until cleared. She would give a weak wave from behind her father before she was forced to stand beside him then behind him.
"Tayla Ilanit Dalia Eadhun Abrams." She spoke her name. "I am the daughter of Blitz T. Abrams and Lilith Liesl Helga Zella Bloodworth."
"Wait!" Riesgraf knew the name Tayla spoke. "As in The Vampire Oracle? That Lilith Liesl Helga Zella Bloodworth."
Anaxagorou formed earplugs in his ears with Lady Taliyah explained to Leo about Tayla's mother being a Blood Breed. Riesgraf gave a loud wow and Leo was left still staring at this girl before him with Lady Taliyah being left to do introducing. She laid her hands on both Leo's and her son's backs before pushing them forward to face the fellow teen. Hint Riesgraf took with him giving his usual greeting followed by his name that got a smile out of Tayla as Leo held his camera. He asked if he could take a group picture of her father and her together before they left the airport together. Tayla granted when she ended up taking her father's arms pulled him into a forced pose and for Leo's camera. Opportunity that Anaxagorou took to get off the vehicle's roof with bassinet in one hand and his binoculars in other. Walking around the car to pop open the trunk and put away his optical instrument in a fine leather case.
Lady Taliyah was the one that instructed the landing crew to load the bags in the trunk after they were unloaded from the plane. Anaxagorou would soon start unlocking the doors of the vehicle for everyone with the wireless remote in hand. Reaching in to one of those opened doors to transfer Vinzent from his bassinet to car seat in careful manner. Making sure the baby was secure enough in his car seat to be placed between two people in the middle of the car. Would be Mr. Abrams on one side and as his mother was on the other with Leo in the passenger side seat up front. Tayla and Riesgraf ended up taking back seats of the vehicle with everyone belting in after doors were closed.
"This is going to be a weird weekend." Anaxagorou sighs as he adjusts his hands on the steering wheel.
Slam of the trunk's back hood after all the bags were loaded was signal Anaxagorou to engage locking mechanism for the doors. He would end up driving them off the private run way with conversation about how children were precious. Started up by Mr. Abrams showing off baby pictures of Tayla to Lady Taliyah kept tucked in his wallet. He had a story for each one that he showed the British noble as a smile was worn on his face the whole time.

When a pregnant Michella andToby Mcaughlinarrived by train atNewYorkPenn Stationthe day after Abrams arrived. She was welcomed by a small party of a cheering LeClaire holding a welcome banner as she sat on Riesgraf's shoulders . Lady Taliyah stood behind a occupied Baby Carriage as a nervous Leo was pushed forward by Anaxagorou, as a form of encouragement. Sonic was sound asleep with Vinzent's baby carriage not really paying attention to anything.
"Go say hello." Lady Taliyah rocked her son's stroller back and fourth. "We'll still be here."
"Your going to be a uncle." Anaxagorou guessed how along Michella was.
Leo stiffly ended up walking toward his sister and brother- in- law with a wrapped gift that Lady Taliyah hand knitted for him. Insisting he give this to her in place of baby shower was a better suggestion then the one Zapp made earlier that day. Didn't stop Lady Taliyah from finishing off the gift that Michella was admiring after unwrapping the gift met for her. She gushed over and showed to Toby with her widest smile before she asked her brother where got such a baby item. Had attention being turned to small group of people he would direct his sister and his brother-in-law toward. LeClaire waved from a top of her half- brother's shoulders before she was lifted up by him and placed on the floor. Clicking of her May Janes on tiles floor when she handed her welcome banner to him and was allowed to run and greet them.
"Careful not to ruin your new dress to badly." Lady Taliyah watched her.
"Her aunt is going to file a complaint about this." Anaxagorou whispers to her.
"Then point toward Edmund." Lady Taliyah informs Anaxagorou. "He bought her a new outfit to look pretty."
Anaxagorou sighed figuring Edmund was behind the wore robe change LeClaire now had when she last visited him. Not that he could object about Edmund spoiling what would be one of a few nieces in the newest generation of Von Reinherz. All he could do was cross his arms and watch LeClaire make a make an impression on Leo's family. Greeting them like Lady Taliyah would do when she met new clients when working out in the field or doing face to face meetings. From a introducing herself to the people that didn't know who she was to welcoming them to Hellsalem's Lot. Leo would follow her led by saying a mumbled where their bags are and what they what to do first.
He wasn't working fast enough when Toby ended up showing him where to get their bags as Michella was pointed toward everyone. Lady Taliyah, Anaxagorou, and Riesgraf would end up walking toward her with the baby carriage being pushed before them. Cooing newborn within the small four-wheeled carriage often with a folding top what brought as smile to Michella's face. Anaxagorou was the one that lowered the stroller to Michella's range of view when she got to look at Vinzent. Would get compliment after compliment about being the cutest thing that she ever did see besides her own.
"He slide right out of me as soon as a I was dilated enough." Lady Taliyah recalled the natural birth.
"She cursed dad out in German and Uncle Edmund tape recorded the whole thing." Riesgraf stared at the stroller. "I am being forced it later."
"All apart of teaching you responsibility of the birds and the bees." Anaxagorou reminds him. "Your parents don't want you being a parents before your time. "
Riesgraf would end up crossing his arms to dismiss the age old story of a teenage romance during the end of a summer. He knew the details of a British noble of great beauty and heir to the Von Reinherz family word by word like a bedtime story. All he could was sigh when his looked a the giggling mess with green eyes that ended up softening him.
"I'm going to wait in the towncar and watch a youtube video about safe sex." He hurried off.
"Your father may call, so keep your phone near." Lady Taliyah called after him.
He gave a single thumbs up that had Lady Taliyah telling Michella and Toby how their hands are going to be full when they grow up. Sonic jumped from his hiding spot in the baby carriage to one of Riesgraf's shoulders to get away from Vinzent. A monkey could only take so much from wails a newborn makes to when he was in a playful mood. Anaxagorou agreed in his own way since he shared how he and Ed mund had become fathers themselves. Was still a handful with use of Edmund's and Klaus' childhood nanny trying her best to care for the whiny one. Informing Leo that that bags needed to be gathered and should leave the ladies be with Toby leading the way. Left Leo alone with his sister and Lady Taliyah since LeClaire ended up deciding to go with Anaxagorou to help Mr. Mclaughlin. Lady Taliyah told them to be careful and two of them would join them in a moment since a experienced mother needs to pass on advice. Michella looked forward to hearing as she already had so MANY questions related to LeClaire.
Started with Lady Taliyah saying how she how to adjust to being a step-mother to Klaus' love child from a deceased stalker. Learning to handle a girl over a little boy was a new thing for Lady Taliyah from how they behave to how they dress. LeClaire adored brightly colored dresses with puffy skirts and hair decorations she can wear in her done up hair. Spending time in lap of her father while he played Prosfair or following him around when he was watering his plants. Doing her homework when Riesgraf did his homework or going with him to walk Eberhardt late at night.
"Are memories I treasure about her each and every day." Lady Taliyah adjusts the stroller.
Michella would end up being moved by Leo since his excuse was she needed to save her strength for when his niece or nephew came. His sister and Lady Taliyah were lost in their chat about how motherhood changes everything about your life from your marriage to your future. Pointers about how to balance everything was shared at they walked through out the train station. Some were useful from how babies liked thing that jiggled as a play things to stick to a routine. Possibility get some sleep in when your own child's nap time take place since you'll be getting less after baby comes. Be weary of what you eat since your develop a habit of sharing what your child eats for the first few years. Everything else that followed were carefully pointed out by Lady Taliyah to Michella's careful listening.
"Didn't know so much goes into being a mother." Michella was amazed with everything Lady Taliyah had to say.
"You learn fast when father of your child's family only helps... so much." Lady Taliyah sighs. "Your going to be a lucky girl."
Michella placed her hands on her protruding stomach as she looked to Leo with a smile as she asked if he looked forward to being a uncle. He ended up having trouble processing seeing his little sister as a mother with a baby in her arms. Left him to try put on his best smile as he kept up with pace that was set by Lady Taliyah pushing the baby carriage. She didn't seem like a woman that just gave to a bouncing baby boy a few weeks ago in heels she wore.
"Over Here!" LeClaire called to them.
Anaxagorou and Toby had gathered all the bags on to one single baggage cart with LeClaire looking out for rest of their group. Which she would spot by jumping up and down with her little arms waving side to side until she got their attention. They all would re-join each other as a group and make their way toward the entrance of the station, where another waited them. Trunk would be opened for them to lad the bags with Leo helping to put LeClaire and Vinzent in the back seats. Riesgraf got out to help Toby with Michella as mother folded up the wheelchair and stroller. Would be the lasted loaded thing up before she was helped into the car by Toby after Leo settled in. Took a place in the back with Riesgraf after running around the vehicle closing doors and making sure everyone was in.
Buckling in before the vehicle drove off toward Klaus' new residence, where Gilbert and the maid waited on them all. Bags were removed from the trunk and Klaus' master and Tayla got to meet Leo's sister and brother-in-law in foyer. Riesgraf would end up taking his younger siblings to part of the house his mother had turned into a nursery and play area. Anaxagorou would end up needing to take Eberhardt for a walk with Leo tagging along for clear his head and wanting to talk. Sonic would sit on the three headed German shepherd when he came went walking with them to get away from Vinzent. Lady Taliyah was the one that had to call both Edmund and Klasu to update them on the guest situation. Klaus was worried they wouldn't have enough space and Edmund wanted to know when the last bunch were to arrive. Which she would inform them about while stating she wanted to know who was coming to dinner this night. Only be asked where Klaus' master with his daughter and Leo's vising family were going to stay during a conversation with one of them. That ended with her threatening to cut off one's manhood and sex restriction with the other would be extended.
Had the topic being dropped, until Edmund openly objected to having Mr. Abrams stay within their four walls when he joined them for dinner. Only extend a hand over to Leo's sister and brother-in-law to come stay within his home for as long as they wanted. He assured them that a doctor would be kept on call for any emergency that would come to Michella's condition. Their nanny that worked for them was a also a trained midwife and nurse with experience under her belt. The guest rooms was spacious to hold a couple a newborn with way a Queen size bed and baby furniture were arranged. Way for Michella to get up and down the stairs was put in with remodeled bathrooms through the house. Anything else just sweeten the deal with Toby beside a clapping Michella the whole time before anyone reacted to Edmund's offer.
Anaxagorou almost dropped the mug Gilbert was in the middle of refilling with freshly brewed coffee at the news Edmund gave. Leo forgot about the fork in his mouth with LeClaire waiting to see the changes to her Uncle Edmund's house . The maid was to busy with instructing Riesgraf on how to properly fed the newborn in his arms using a bottle. Tayla had been pulled into keeping LeClaire from putting food into her mouth over wearing most of of her food on he face. Klaus started to choke on whatever he swallowed while Mr. Abrams was patting him on his back to clear out his throat. Only calm was Lady Taliyah just eating away everyone few bites when she wasn't sipping her tea cup a few times. Eberhardt was fast asleep after cleaning out his bowl of the kibble that was put inside at the beginning of everyone's meal.
"How about it?" asked Edmund neatly folded his napkin after wiping his mouth.
He continued his speech by bringing up how Klaus' current household staff was now busy caring for the newest addition. Bringing up the maid had a child of her own and she was doing twice the work in caring for her child and the newborn. Gilbert could only do some much with his work with Libra and personal butler to already growing household. A third staff member such as a nanny or a child care provider within their children's family setting could come in handy. He already had one to come to their home and start working right away after the current one trained her. Lady Taliyah was still recovering from giving birth from her still pale complexion and her increased body size. He was impressed she started a regular exercise routine a week after she came back from the hospital with Vinzent. Already notice the weight she started to lose from their interactions over tea or when he visited her. Ready to go on about how Father Antonescu doing as Anaxagorou's replacement as a body guard for Riesgraf. If a disruption from where Anaxagorou sat didn't silence everyone when up from the table he went in hurried matter.
"Is everything alright?" Michella asked noticing a tension.
Edmund would excuse him self from the table from the table to chase after Anaxagorou yelling out his real name as he moved. Klaus turned to Lady Taliyah to comfort her when he thought his brother's comment sounded like he was calling her fat. What he got was a single stocking clad set of toes slowly going up the back of his pants covered leg. Manicured toenail of her big toe clad in a soft material of hosiery that takes in each and every contour of his limb. Would led all the one way to his Klaus' crotch and start to count the pocket change he has within one of his pants' pockets. Got closer to forming bugle each time one of her toes kneaded over his thighs with lingering brush of her toes.
"Everything is fine." Lady Taliyah calmly spoke upon answering her. "This kind of drama is normal in our household."
Loud thumb from where Klaus sat didn't go noticed when his face turned a bright shade of red and he loosen his necktie. Had Mr. Abrams looking under the table and finding a foot belonging to Lady Taliyah retreating from Klaus. Led to him suggesting they all adjourn for the night since they had a eventful day and should get a good nights rest. Tayla and Leo would help the maid clear off the table as Michella helped Riesgraf with his baby and LeClaire. Toby helped Gilbert with picking up everyone cups to beverage pitches from the center of the table to have them clean. Gilbert watched Lady Taliyah raise from the table after tucking her foot back into her show agreeing with Mr. Abrams. Stating that increased cup sized made unlacing her corset harder got her of late and always her longer to undo. Klaus rather enthusiastically agreed to help her around her straggle when he hurried to get up from the table.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Creaking of a hinges on a old oak door could be heard through out the guest wing of the when a nigh dress clad Tayla snuck out of the guest room she was sharing with her father. She made sure the sash of her robe was tied in a secure knot and her slipper clad feet were on her feet when she started to run through the hall with a unknown freedom. Remembering the last time she got to do something like this without out a Blood Bleed chasing behind her or fear of being caught by one of her father's enemies. Was a chance she wasn't going to miss out on, as she opened doors and just wandered to floor after floor with her feet doing most of the traveling for her.
"Having fun?" Riesgraf's voice would startled her.
She almost jumped out her night clothes when she was surprised by the follow youth sitting in a windowsill with set of earbuds in his ears and Ipod sitting in his lap just looking out the window. Riesgraf pulled out his earbuds and turned off his Ipod as if he was awaiting an answered from the fellow teen he found wandering around his home.
"What of it to you?" She asked carefully watching him.
"Just wandering since I am usual the only one besides my dad, mom, and other people to be up at this time." He answered pocketing his earbuds and Ipod.
"Active social life?" She teased him. "You can't sleep?"
"A mixture of both." He would come to answer her as he jumped down from where he been seating. "Since from a young age, I've been taught to keep the balance."
He could recall when his first was brought before grandfather Bastian and watch him perform one of the many Brain Grid Blood Battle styles before his little eyes without a single mistake. That started one of many lessons of combat training until he started to memorized and pronounce the name of the very move he would be using as he moved.
"We seem to have something in common." She watch him land. "Nice reflexes."
"Sleepless nights back at Von Reinherz estate back in Germany for three years." He shrugs. "Gives someone a lot of time to practice."
Smirk that appeared on her face when he watched her shorten the distance between them, by display one of her inherited Blood Breed Abilities right before Riesgraf's very eyes. Way in which she moved at a extraordinary speed in such a short burst, that single trace image of where she was standing was left behind after she moved away. Riesgraf invoking Crystalline Arrangement ability called Angelic Sight to keep track of where she was moving before she appeared a few feet away from him.
"Nice moves." He returned his eyes to normal.
"Nice eyes." She pointed out color they changed into when he used Angelic Sight.
"Just pale copy to All Seeing Eye of God Leo owns." He returned his eyes to normal. "Still learning how to use them."
"Then can you help me figure out ideas for half of my Blood Breed abilities?" She asked give him a view of her fangs.
Unlike the many boys her age that thought her elongated set of teeth were ugly or flat out become scared of the revealed sight, Riesgraf Von Reinherz would call them her most beautiful feature. This blush that spread across her face from his compliment had her look downward to her slipper clad feet and wrap her lips around her teeth. Turning her head from side to side when asked by Riesgraf, if he said or did anything wrong to get her to look away form him so quickly.
"Then would you like me to walk you back to your room?" He offered knowing one could lost in this grand place.
He got another head shake from her when she started to back away from him very slowly saying she could find her way back on her own with out much trouble thanks to her Blood Breed senses. Wishing him a good night before she would take one step and left behind a image of a nervous girl trying her best to not look at him. That would fade before his very eyes and wondering what he did wrong when cries of his baby brother him dismissing the notion of chasing a girl like Tayla across the house. Choosing to make his way to the nursery where he would walk in and tend to his crying baby brother by approach his crib and greeting the whiny little guy. When he made eye contact with those big green eyes filled with tears for those first few seconds with a gentle greeting in a low tone of voice to not wake LeClaire. The tears ceased and he got a grin from little guy reaching out toward him with playful coos at the sight of his older brother looking down at him.
"Please let your first words be my name." Riesgraf whisper.
"I think your first words were along the line of curse words." Klaus' voice came from behind his son. "I have to check with your mother."
"That's one of her favorite memories of my firsts." Riesgraf laughed.
Teen ended up having set of large fingers he was still getting to know placed on his head and pat his head before he moved aside to face a pajama clad Klaus a few inches away. His father would soon walk up to the side of the crib to to get a better look at the face of his newest child before deciding to reach inside and carefully pick him up. Turning slowly toward the rocking chair in corner of the room and under a soft light of a whimsical looking floor lamp as he took a secure hold of his newborn son.
"Want me to stick around?" Riesgraf yawned.
"Go back to bed since your mother and my brother will have my head other wise." Klaus spoke of how angry both would get if they found out Riesgraf didn't get enough sleep.
"Night." Riesgraf knew arguing with his father was pointless.
Klaus would end up holding Vinzent with one arm so he could wave good bye to his eldest with the other upon Riesgraf exiting the nursery to leave his father and baby brother alone.
