Speaking of friends, he recollected pleasantly the time when he and his sister caught a glimpse of Kelania as a baby, the day she was born, plus al the time the twins spent with her as she grew up from a child to a young adult who appeared the same age as them. The faery always brought a soft grin to the male Modern Nephilim's features just thinking of her, yet he was not sure why, exactly. What could she be doing, these days? It's been a while. Those were his internal words as he glanced over at the wall covered with photos of his parents (from both the times before and after the twins were born), sister, and friends.
Kelania approached the door and knocked lightly, wondering how much they had changed over the years. Kelly grew a bit taller, her purple hair longer and looked more like a woman now. The last that she saw them, she was merely a child, still with purple hair and deep green eyes that glow in the light, also she’d sprouted wings, long shimmering wings that resembled a dragonfly’s. They were hidden now, laying against her olive brown skin, like an intricate tattoo. She brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear as she waited patiently.
The moment he opened the door, though, his customary side grin, much like his own father's, entered his features. "Ah, Kelania! Mon, avez vous grandi!" Ah, Kelania! My, have you grown! He kissed both cheeks in greeting. (No, it's not a display of affection. It's just a simple French greeting between peers that are either both girls, or one guy and one girl. With two guys, it is a hand shake. It is just French culture, and I'm not making this up.) Witht he greeting out of the way, he let the faery in and prepared two mochas while he spoke. "Amélie ne vit plus ici. Son travail sur l'établissement dans une autre ville a laissé une souche sur ses temps libres, ces derniers temps." Amélie no longer lives here. Her work over at the hotel in another town has left a strain on her spare time, lately.

People often told him that he sounded much like his father when speaking French or English. His accent was more American when he spoke in English, but then the accent turns more French when speaking the French language, the way David Gideon would speak. This was often how Baptiste was told by bystanders the many stories that were spread about his father being mighty, modest, nearly-invincible, and, to the humor of everyone that knew him personally, not fond of the "news" media in the slightest. One of the favorite lines Baptiste would hear people repeat which David (not revealing his off-duty identity) would say to a newscaster who asked how he felt was, What do you think? Just thinking about his father ever making that remark while on the air gave him some laughs, whenever he was reminded of it.
The blond man sat down on one of the couches in the living room, where he to a sip of the mocha he had in his hand before asking, "How's the mocha? Did I do a good job?" He usually did, though he had a habit of asking, anyway.

She then rose the drink to her lips and took a sip. It was tasty, it wasn't as bitter as the coffee she'd tasted before. She found this quite tasty."How's the mocha? Did I do a good job?" He asked and she nodded. "Mm," she said and swallowed. "It's good." She said. "Really good, actually." She said grinning. He'd have to take that for truth, because that's what it was. Fae, even a Purebreed like herself, couldn't lie. Much like Angels didn't. Whether they could or not, no one was sure but they didn't. And Fae, being of both Angel and Demon heritage, developed that from -one could only assume- from the Angel half.
Handing the picture to Kelly for her to look at some more, He chuckled a the thought of Yoki getting a bit of angry remarks from Kaliyah. "Now that I think about it, what you said of Yakusoku sounds just like him. Most of what I know about him came from my mom and dad." His smile fading, he added, "It's a shame you only met my dad, since my mom died to old age, being a pureblood human and all. You would have gotten along well with her. You could say Amélie gets her sweet and kind nature from her."
