"....." Lex was silent again, for a longer period of time, looking at the feather she had produced.

"I..." he stammered.

"That could just be the feather of a large white bird." he said. "...is what I would believe if I couldn't feel the definite mana emanating from it." he then admitted further.

"Look, Aimee, you don't have to prove anything to me." he told her.

"However, you might not want the attention you may receive from people that... well... look down on those that believe in such things." he reasoned.

"Right now? I don't care. If it was an angel, then I'm eternally grateful they saved you. If not, I'm just still happy you're alive and seem to be all right."

Why can't I just be
The one
For once!?

Aimee was silent as her brother said all he did, before sticking the feather back in her hair.

"Thank you, Lex." She said quietly.

"I couldn't breathe in there, I do believe he saved my life." She added before sighing, lightly.

"... but... what should we do? We don't really have a home, anymore..."

"....we really don't." Lex responded, looking at what used to be their domicile.

"The house that Vincent built for us..." he said further, trailing off a little.

"And we don't know where he is, nor do we have any way of contacting him..." he went on.

"...." he was then silent for a moment, before snapping his fingers.

"Aunt Hollie!" he exclaimed.

"She'll be able to help us!"

Aimee was silent for a moment before chuckling.

"She probably can, yeah." She agreed with a nod before sighing.

"Would you mind using your mana to get us to her home? Her barriers never play nicely with my unusual mana."

Lex nodded in response.

"Sure." he replied.

The two of them then held hands, and disappeared in some black mana, appearing at the front door of a rather imposing... but still friendly-looking... manor. Lex then sighed, and knocked on the door loudly, so she would hear.

Assuming she was home.

"Hope she's in." he said.

"Not sure we can get through the proper Council channels to actually SPEAK to her." he admitted.

There was silence as they waited for about three minutes before the door opened to reveal the blonde they were there looking for.

"Oh! Come in." She said with a smile as she stepped aside to let them enter, to which they did.

"What brings you two across the globe at such a late hour?" She then asked.

".... I burned our home down." Aimee answered honestly.

"What? Are you two all right?" She then asked, concern in her voice and features.

Lex just sighed.

"We are." he said.

"Well, I know I am." he told her. "And by that, I mean I was out getting some fruit and vegetables at the time. When I returned, the house had been burned to cinders." he explained.

"I called out for Aimee, she called back, and I found her in the backyard." he said further.

"She seemed to be just fine." he went on.

"But she'd know better than anyone else." he added, looking at his sister.

"I'm all right." Aimee said with a soft smile.

"I... just feel guilty about burning our home down." She admitted with a sigh.

"Well, you two are welcome to stay here until we manage to get you situated somewhere again. " The blonde said with a smile

Lex just smiled in return.

"Thank you." he replied.

"You were the only one we could think of that could help us." he told her, before pausing.

"...that... we could reliably contact." he clarified.

"We know Vincent would help us, but... well..." he mumbled further, sighing at the end.

"...he's impossible to find."

"Sorry to intrude, Aunt Hollie, but..." Aimee started. The blonde, Hollie, just brought a hand up.

"Hush now. Come on, you know where your rooms are." She said simply.

"They should be made up as well." She added after a moment or two.

"I won't hear anything other than a thank you."

Lex could only smile as she said what she did.

"...thank you, Aunt Hollie." he said.

"So much." he added, before getting closer and hugging her.

"It means a lot to us." he told her.

"Just... thank you..." he repeated, his tone quiet.

She could hear how he just wanted to cry... probably from relief, and just the reality of what had just happened sinking in fully.

Hollie returned the embrace as Aimee headed off to go find out of the room was good to use.

"I know. And you're quite welcome." She assured him as she returned the embrace.

"I know you two lost your home, but at least you have somewhere to stay. You're both welcome to stay here for as long as need be."

Lex held onto her tighter for a moment, shaking ever-so-slightly. It was times like this that showed how much he, at least, saw her as a mother figure... even though she was more of their aunt.

Vincent had adopted them, yes, and was very much their father figure, but Hollie had been their main maternal influence in their lives after Vincent had found them.

And it showed a times like this.

He then let go and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

"...I'm going to take whatever room Aimee doesn't." he told her.

"And... I think I'm just going to fall asleep when I get there." he added.

Hollie just chuckled lightly.

"I would not fault you for that." She commented.

"You probably need it." She added.

"Go and finda bed. I'm sure you and Aimee both need some sleep."

Lex nodded in response.

"Thank you." he said again.

He then trudged off, his steps heavy and a little lethargic, but nothing to worrisome. For him, anyway.

But now Hollie was faced with some challenges.

She needed to tend to the remains of their former home, see if anything was salvageable, and she needed to find them a new place to live. Being with her was a temporary solution, and she knew it.

Lex and Aimee knew it as well.

But the ball needed to get rolling, soon.

Hollie just sighed as he walked of, not entirely sure what to make of this, overall.

"Well then." She said quietly before shaking her head. She left a quick note for the pair to explain that that she had gone back to where they had been living before, to check out the damage and the like.

---

Time continued, and the siblings were there for nearly three weeks before she was sitting in her office, thinking about what was going on at her home.

[She didn't know what it was that she was going to do for the pair. All she really knew was that there had to be a place that would be good for the pair of them, but... she hadn't come across any so far. She knew that they would be good with anywhere in Europe, but that was a lot of ground to cover. Along with that, they needed to do whatever they could to avoid having it that there was a certain degree of privacy, what with the pair of them being mages.

However, she shook her head to try and bring her focus back to what she needed to focus on for the moment.

She had a liason from the Triad coming with some information soon, after all.

After about a half-hour of her pondering, there was a knock on her door.

"Yes?" she said.

"The liaison from the Triad is here to see you." the voice on the other side of the door replied.

"Send them in." she told them.

After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a taller, thin man of darker skin tone... but what really stood out about him was his one black eye, which directly contrasted his other eye, which was a cloudy white.

"Good afternoon, Lady Remmington." he greeted her.

Hollie just smiled slightly and waved.

"Hello there, Mr. Sharp." She greeted.

"Please, have a seat." She added, motioning to the chair across from her desk.

"I do believe we have things to discuss."

Sharp nodded and closed the door behind him, making his way over and sitting down in the chair across from her.

"We do, indeed." he said.

"Thankfully, it's nothing too major." he told her.

"The heaviest is continuing the negotiations regarding the lycan that attacked and killed that pair of mages, and whether he is to be tried and sentenced by the Triad or the Council." he continued.

"Other than that, things that I really don't need to be here for, but have to be because it makes them feel better." he muttered.

"Except Sydney, but she's only one voice of three." he added.

Hollie just chuckled lightly.

"Csilla is a breath of fresh air, to be honest." She commented.

"However, there is plenty that does need to be done, with someone from the Triad here due to trust issues." She then said.

"Now, let's get to work. Better to get this out of the way first, no?" She asked with a chuckle.

"And perhaps you would enjoy some tea? I received some new blends recently."
