Colors of the Sacred Son:

Coming back from surviving in the wilderness when your parents were busy with a drug case. Riesgraf was too tired to hear the details when got home from Miss. Mikayla. Since he went right to bed after a long soak and then right to bed for a long slumber. Tayla was present when he woke fully rested and found her. Found her sitting on the edge of his bed with a folder within one of her hands.

"God does exist." He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"You always wanted a non-female relative sitting in your bed?" She didn't understand.

"Since puberty." He sat up.

While she was lost in thought about the comment he made was a chance he took he got out of bed. Change out of his night clothes in an outfit he laid out for himself on a nearby chair. Which wasn't that long when he was found lacing and fastening his boots. By Tayla when she ended up blushing upon coming up with an answer.

"Why are all human males around your age," She shut her eyes to get thought out of her head, "So hormonal?"

"Picturing Zap?" He asked back.

When she nodded her head that she was going to need time to process that thought out of her head. Knotted the lace to his last boot while asking for the while she was given. Which she was reluctant to hand hand over while nodding her head.

"Your dad wants to see you," She commented about Klaus, "He's been worried about you and your mom."

"That bad?" He asked.

"Your parents wanted you there," Tayla finally opened an eye, "For their announcement."

"They're not having any more kids?" He guessed.

"You already knew," She figured, "Didn't you?"

"Pretty much." He took hold of the file.

She released it asking how his training experience went with Zapp's and Zed's master as she watched him. He looked over the contents while describing the feral environment with Blood Battle God. Glad his preferred training when camping with his grandpa back in Germany.

"All you had was a knife?" She moved closer to him.

"A gift from my late grandfather on my mother's side," He noticed her closeness, "Unless you want to be sent to live with your father …"

"Sorry," She moved away, "Forgot."

"Tayla," He had to ask, "Are you being driven by your desire to feed or procreate?"

"More like turned on," She whined, "In hearing how you survived."

This earned her a kiss on the side of her lips then on her cheek. Got her blinking when he pulled away to see her face grow redder.

"Are we going?" He asked her just staring.

She ended up turning into a crimson mist when she popped out of his room with a eep. This had Riesgraf grabbing his jacket and bag along with that file. Hurrying out his room and throughout the large structure he was still calling home. Heading straight for the garage where he found Tayla waiting for him near a vintage motorcycle.

"Zapp almost cried when he saw this?" He looked over the bike.

"Thank you gift from your uncle for giving him the tears of a Phoenix," She answered, "I had no plans in using them to rid myself of my humanity."

"Since you wear it so well." Riesgraf complimented her.

He pulled his own helmet from a nearby shelf in order to join her. Ready to take the back seat to ride with her when walked up to her.

"You want to … " She slid to the back seat.

"Trust me with your ride?" He asked rather surprised.

He got a head nod before she even offered the keys to him. Which he accepted knowing she wasn't going to say anything else. Making their ride to Libra completely quiet one for the two. Just when they stepped into the main office it was quite broken. Klaus didn't give his son time to greet everyone or insult Zapp when he appeared. He watched his father cross the room after dropping his watering can at Gilbert's feet. Stopping with arms wide open to embrace Riesgraf into a crashing hug.

"Welcome back." Gilbert spoke for Klaus and teary eyed Lady Taliyah.

"Missed you," Riesgraf breathed out to his father, "Sorry for running off after my recovery."

Klaus just held his son a tad longer as Lady Taliyah soon joined them. Space was made for her to also hug their son, which she accepted. Reaching out to push loose bangs of her son's face. Mouthing how his hair needed a trim and they had so much to catch up on. Which he agreed to get as a snap of the camera separated the three of them.

"You had us worried," Leo shared everyone's concern, "Glad to know you're in one piece."

"As long as you found what you needed," Klaus pats his son's shoulder, "Fact your back in one piece and safe is enough for me."

When his son took his hand with his own, Leo captured the moment.

Riesgraf knew for years that headship of the family was always going to be dumped on him. Not like he ever thought about accepting the role throughout his life. Down he would look down at Vinzent within his arms with sigh.

"You know," He placed a finger to his little brother, "I'm kinda scared about dad giving me a role I don't want."

He got a giggle baby in his arms who seemed more interested in Riesgraf's finger. Which he grabbed one of his little hands and squeezed as tightly.

"You definitely inherited his strength," Riesgraf felt, "Can I have my finger back."

He was able to wiggle his finger out of that tiny grip while adjusting the Vinzent. Shifting his baby brother within his single arm trying to not drop him. Being that he was sitting on the side of his father's desk his mother sat. He wasn't copying the way she sat on one of the corners with a skirt hitched. More like cross legged with a single leg hanging off. Empty bassinet and baby bag sat next to him as he gently rocked. Not having much to do since he was left to babysit by the nanny.

"How am I going to explain this to my parents?" He asked himself out loud, "Zapp is going to laugh about this."

Back in the bassinet he placed his brother when he heard the ding of the elevator from his seat. Being careful in how he placed him on soft cushions when retracting his hand. Making sure to turn on the speaker to play his music.

"Young master," Gilbert greeted Riesgraf rather surprised, "Thought you were out with other children?"

"Long story," Riesgraf laughed, "Hard to explain."

"Then you can start from the beginning." His father's voice startled him.

Gilbert would start on a fresh pot of tea for them while Riesgraf to,d his dad. That his plans to hang out with Leo and children of the Libra agents that through the cracks when nanny up brought left him to watch Vinzent.

"I was about to leave the office to meet Leo," Riesgraf still recalled, "When nanny rushed in and put Vinzent in my arms with mumbles on her lips. Runs back out the way she came and just leaves me here ."

"Hmmm." Klaus looked at Vinzent.

Those eyes full of innocence looking back at him from under the blankets he was in. Reminded him of personal circumstances that kept him from raising his first born. All the firsts and the age milestones he missed. Weighed heavily on him each day he lay his eyes on him.

"Go on and meet with Leo," Klaus was taking over, "Make sure to keep your cell phone on."

Instead of running off out of excitement when told to leave, Riesgraf quickly approached his father. Wrapped his arms around him as far as he could reach. Which resulted in a hug that built a silence between the pair. Klaus ended up shakingly taking a single arm to return the sentiment to Riesgraf.

"Ich liebe dich," Riesgraf was first to speak, "Can.. we talk later?"
