Seth walked over to the door and opened it. He saw a boy about his age, who had brown hair, and also who he supposed was his father. "Come in," he said, opening the door up all the way.
~~~
"I can't tell you," Matthew said, shaking his head. "You wouldn't believe me. You'd think I'm absolutely crazy." -
Grace looked at them curiously. “ a pleasure to meet you.” She said. She stood up to stand beside Seth, interested in their guests. Her whip was coiled around her arm, in it’s bracelet form. It had been a gift.
-
Astra was firmly breaking many rules of high society as she practically bolted towards the townhouse. Thankful for glamours, she endured the odd stare from the few down worlders or sighted mundane as she went, -
Androw's father dipped his head in greeting. "Thank you, Seth," he said, entering first. "I'm going to go find your parents, as I have business to attend with them. I hope that Androw will be good company."
Androw looked between Seth and Grace. They looked-- well-- he wasn't sure what he was expecting, but they did not look like what he expected. He gave them an awkward, much smaller head nod, waiting for his father to take off.

"Oh, I don't know," Erissa hummed, smiling. "I've seen quite a bit of odd things. Try me!" -
Seth was a little confused at how Mr. Twarby knew his name, but dismissed it. He was probably there to celebrate when he was born, and he knew his parents. He closed the door behind him. "I'm Seth Larkspear," he said.
~~~
"Please, I'd rather not," Matthew said. She would definitely think him crazy if he told her that he was a werewolf. -
“ I’m Grace Kingthorn.” Grace says as she approaches Androw, “ hmmm..interesting.” She says as she looks him up and down. She puts her hand out for him to shake.” like I said a pleasure to meet you.”
-
Astra got to the door, and opened the lock with magic, “ I do hope Eddie will not mind.” She mutters as she walks inside. Astra knew he would not be home as he was busy preparing his manor for the party he was hosting. -
Mr. Twarby took off down the hall, likely to handle whatever business he had mentioned.
Androw shuffled his feet, tilting his head up high. He didn't want to look scared or nervous. "Androw Twarby," he greeted in response, carefully taking Grace's hand and shaking it. "Pleasure to meet you both as well."
~
"Are you sure?" She got even closer, giving him a reassuring smile. However, somehow, it looked rather sinister. "I have a feeling you might regret keeping it all bottled off.. Then again, we're strangers, hm?" -
"Don't worry, we won't bite," Seth said. "Well, she will," he amended, nodding at Grace.
~~~
Matthew took a step backwards. She was starting to freak him out. "I - I'd better be going," he said. -
Grace looked around. “ perhaps we should take this conversation to a more appropriate place rather than the entrance hall.” She said bluntly, “ correct?”
-
Astra situated herself in the vampires library. She stared up at the portrait of his late wife. “...You did win after all Cordelia. He’ll never move on.” She murmurs. She then shakes her head. She was not a young girl, so she musn’t behave like one, -
Androw gave them a tiny smile. He was right, they were both already rather close. But they seemed friendly enough. "Correct," he replied. "I'll have you know, this is my first time here. So. I don't know what kind of rooms there are.."
~
"So soon?" She made a disappointed look. "You haven't even shared your name.." -
"She's avoiding the subject," Seth said. "But she did bite me. There are all kinds of rooms here. Bedrooms, training rooms, cooking rooms, you name it, it's probably buried around here somewhere."
~~~
"You haven't either," Matthew pointed out. "But I'm Matthew Henderson." -
“ it was one time.” Grace says. “ which is hardly indicative, after all you mistook me for a man upon our first meeting did you not Seth?” She asks as she shrugs and begins leading them to the training room.
-
Astra chose to busy herself at the piano. Eddie has taught her to play when they had first met. It was why she had fallen in love with him. He had taught himself to learn out of pure determination. -
Androw covered his mouth, trying to keep himself from smiling or laughing. He wasn't sure if they were trying to be humorous, or if any sign of amusement would irritate them. As Grace started to lead the way, he cleared his throat, trying to look more sophisticated. "It sounds like you two are close, then?" he asked, curious.
~
Erissa laughed. "I am known as Erissa," she said. As an afterthought, she held out her hand. Many people liked to shake hands in greeting. An awkward mundane custom. "It's nice to meet you, Matthew Henderson." -
"Well can you blame me?" Seth asked, gesturing up and down at her attire. "There are very girlish-looking men out there, you know."
~~~
Matthew nodded politely at her, and started walking away. -
“ hmm...I would say so. Are we? We’re friends. I think.” Grace smiles. “ we’re not Parabati though if that’s what you’re asking” she clarifies quickly. “ i was orphaned and so came to London.”
“ and again, dressing like a man is far more suitable. Have you tried to kick a vampire whilst you were wearing a dress? No?” Grace huffs.
-
Astra sighed once more as she played though the notes that were presented on the sheet before her. She smiles softly as she lets the music flowing through her. -
(Oh sorry Dark, I didn't reload the page in time.)
"That is why we put on gear when we go out to fight," Seth said, "not dresses. And I doubt that you've ever worn a dress, so I also doubt that you ever have kicked a vampire while wearing one."
~~~
"Nice to meet you," Matthew yelled. "I'll hope to see you again sometime soon!" Really it wasn't, and he wasn't but he was just being polite.
