Epicurus was not one to blush, ever, but if there were a time that he would then perhaps, just maybe now would be one of those times. Of course his sister had to jump right on in skipping all the tidbits and ask the big question. He took another long drink of his tea, long enough to finish the cup off and wiped his mouth with the back of his arm showing that he had not gone all formal in his days as a thane. Still holding his cup and staring down at the table he pun it around in his fingers as he tried to find the words, not that there was any other real way to say it.
”Well sister, it seems as though the falling is over with and I have finally hit the ground, I am indeed in love with her. I am a hundred percent sure that she also returns my same feelings, though we have kept it fairly quiet as of late, she has only just been named empress so we don’t need to bring in any more complications.” Epic let out another long drawn sigh as he continued, ”As for my daughter, it is rather complicated, she is an adult now and having had missed her childhood it is hard for me to remember that she is all grown up and does not need my teaching. I missed out…” It was then they had been approached by a gentleman who appeared to know his sister, wonderful timing. Epic did not really want to get into the subject, now was a time to be happy and enjoy the fact that he finally got to see Jaki.
As the man introduced himself Epic took and took the man’s hand in a firm greeting, any friend of Jaki’s as a friend of his. ”A pleasure to meet you Mr. Moonstar, Epicurus Vampyler, Lord Protector of Medonia and brother to Jaki here.” Epic nodded as Roland spoke of the fire that burned in Jaki’s heart, he knew well of this fire for it ran through the entire family whether that be a good or bad thing. ”Well, you have a good girl on your hands, she will serve you well. It’s good to see her involved with an organization as honorable as yours. Please, would you care to join us for what little time you have?” Epic motioned for the open seat between Jaki and himself.
