"What an interesting turn of events.
For once, Vincent watched with curious eyes at the barrage of insults and demands were made. An attempt on the Headmaster's life had just been made, and Vincent could feel the hostilities rising between the vampires and the hunters. This did not appear to be heading in a very good direction. The vampire declared a betrothal claim, something that caused Vincent to tilt his head with a ghost of a notice. Why would he do something so...foolish? That wasn't what caught Vincent off guard though. It was the sudden declaration of Jasper's that caught the pure-blood off guard. Was it not that long ago that the Vampiress declared for the von Nacht heir to stay away from her?
Now, they were engaged? When had that happened? Not that Vincent cared much, but it was a bit confusing. His eyes roamed over towards Jasper's face for any sort of explanation, however; he couldn't find one. Was this perhaps his way of protecting the vampire girl? If so, who was she to him that he would do such a thing? For all the years Vincent has known Jasper, he has never made claim to anyone, nor had the intention of doing so. Families, pure-bloods and nobles alike, had thrown countless daughters to the von Nacht heir in hopes of marrying into the prestigious family. Vincent shared the same even though it was known he was already engaged to his sister.
Regardless, the von Nacht Head decided to speak, addressing Jasper in the process. He could see the hostility Jasper was bestowing upon the older von Nacht and Vincent only rose a questionable eyebrow. He paid no heed to the white-haired male who had helped Nikki, keeping his eyes on the other vampires in front. Morgan began pacing back and forth and muttering nonsensical words that even Vincent had a hard time understanding. Then, he spoke of something about the girl being alive. Now this certainly had Vincent's attention. He knew of the Alistair family incident, and he knew who had survived and who hadn't. Was it possible that this girl was part of the surviving family?
That would mean that she was Jasper's cousin, and to some extent, his own. This was turning out to be rather interesting to Vincent, although he gave no show of such things. His eyes then focused upon Ava as she stood next to his sister. Hadn't he left her with those hunters? He furrowed his brows slightly before turning towards the group once more. Nikki declared a private talk between the four of them and left the room. Vincent turned towards the group of humans and vampires that still remained, fixing them with a stare that was universal. Immediately, they understood and left. Soon, it was just Ava, Erys and Vincent within the room.
Erys hadn't known what to expect with the sudden events that played out before her. She felt a touch on her elbow and turned to spot Ava standing there. She gave the girl a nod of her head of acknowledgement before watching the events unfold. Her eyes roamed towards Morgan who seemed to be having a nervous breakdown. She rose an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly. She resisted the urge to smack the boy over the head and instead, stayed by Ava's side. When the others left, Vincent turned towards the two of them, staring blankly at the two. It would seem that the conversation would be awhile, and that would leave Ava by herself until Jasper returned. He couldn't have that, not with the previous events and the sudden events that just took place.
"Stay with us," Vincent stated, although it sounded as a demand, it was not his intention to do so. He had meant it as a question. Erys cleared her throat quietly as she tried not to snicker at her brother's statement. The way it was stated could be taken as many things, however; Erys knew better and so, turned to Ava, sliding an arm through the girl's and placed a reassuring smile on her face.
"What he means to say is that you can stay with us until Jasper returns. I would prefer it as well."
