Lucan Welcomes Connor Home

Lucan Thorne

*He waits in his office for Connor to arrive* Gideon has made the arrangements for the young warrior's arrival from Scotland, and Gabrielle has made space for him in the single breed's quarters. He'll keep the meeting brief, he knows the boy is eager to get settled in for his extended stay with the family.

Connor MacConn * He stood outside the big Oak door. His gear slung over his shoulders, hesitant to knock on the door. His father had served under Lucan for hundreds of years. He never knew his father because he was killed before he was born but he knew his father's valor well because of the warriors that served with his father and because of his father's best friend, Malcolm. His fighting skill came natural he was often told but he knew that without his uncles and the man he now called da training he would not be the warrior he was today. Rapping the door with his knuckles he waits for Lucan's command to enter.*

Compound: A meeting with Wee Angus

• 
  Lucan Thorne 

  Reaching out to stroke the little creature's back. He begins to talk to it, with the sweet comforting tones that only babies, small pets or a beautiful woman can evoke in grown men. The greedy cat begins to purr, rolling onto his back to beg a belly rub. Which he thoroughly enjoys while it lasts. Light footsteps in the hall alert both predators to the arrival of a certain breed female.
  
  Carys Chase Angus...Angus. Here kitty..Where are you? * Carys padded down the hallway in her bare feet. She hadn't been home from the museum long and had changed clothes, settling in to read when she noticed Angus had disappeared. Normally she wouldn't mind but when she went to find him he wasn't in her families suiet. He must have snuck past her when she entered. Now, she had to find him before he got himself and her into trouble. Slowly she walked down tthe main hall, passing Gideon in his room of computers, the Breed male didn't even look up as she passed meaning he was busy and the doors where shut tight, no cat in there. As she moved forward she passed the library, a quick check found no sleeping cat there either. The big kitchen could be where he was and she was about to head that way when dread filled her. What if.. No he wouldn't go there, would he? Her steps hurried as she made her way to her uncles office. Lucan could be in his and Aunt Gabrielle M. Thorne's suiet but as she got closer to his office she noticed the door ajar and heard her uncle talking to someone in the soft tones she remembered from her childhood. She facepalmed..* Damn it Angus.. * Putting a smile on her face she knocked lightly on the door and heard Lucan Thorne's voice. "Miss Chase. May I have a word?" It was more command than question and she entered the outer office before going into his. She swallowed and opened his door. * Hi Uncle Lucan. What can I do.. * She froze when she saw Angus on her Uncles desk blinking happily at her.*

  • Lucan Thorne *Staring across the desk at the statuesque beauty that his breed niece had grown into, he narrowed his eyes slightly*. I'm assuming that this beast belongs to you?
  • Carys Chase Um.. Yes? I mean, yes sir he does and I don't know how he got out and into your office, I mean, he gets out sometimes but. * Her uncles level gaze had her clamping her mouth shut. She shifted foot to foot nervously.* I promise it won't happen again..Please don't make me get rid of him, UncleLucan..
  • Lucan Thorne *Sensing her unease, he makes an effort to soften his features, and reaches out to pet the cat once more*. It seems your little creature here, has taken a liking to my desk. I do not want to come in here and find claw marks in it. Do we understand each other Carys?
  • Carys Chase Yes sir, I understand. * She smiled a little at her beloved Uncle and walked closer to the desk. Angus was purring, delighted with Lucan. The cat blinked at Carys and she reached across the desk to pick him up and hold him close to her.* I'll make sure he doesn't come back here, sir. Thank you..*She kissed the top of the cats head and turned to go. Stopping she turned back and smiled wide. * I remember coloring at your desk. * She laughed a little.* Your office was always a great place to hide when Aric and Dare got tired of me following them. * She hugged the cat a little tighter.* Thanks again Uncle Lucan, really. *With his nod she turned and left his office, closing the door behind her and scolding the still purring beast in her arms. *

    
    

Compound: Larry, Moe and Curly

Lucan: *Leaving the locker room of the training facility, he nods to Tegan as they pass each other in the corridor. His fellow Gen One smirks at him, lifting his chin in affirmation. Calling over his shoulder without raising his voice, he knows Tegan's keen ears will hear him* I'm meeting with Gideon in my office in an hour, he'll see to the others for me.*

Comments

Tegan GenOne *Passing Lucan he heard what the Gen One had said, smirking he nods to Lucan * I'm heading my office to finish up a report.

Lucan Thorne *He chuckled as he made his way back to his office. He'd done his part in the locker room, and Tegan was now on his way to finish the task. Once Gideon was up to date, the IT wizard would contact the necessary warriors, and their mates, as well as make sure all of the electronics were in working order.
He lifted the burned husk of an eighteenth century hand carved wooden figurine from his desk, he had been especially fond of it before it was unceremoniously incinerated during the last attack on his office by Larry, Moe and Curly.Payback is a mother fucker.

Tegan GenOne *Entering the locker area finding it still empty, he moved quickly completing his task. Chuckling to himself, he walked into his office sitting at his desk, going through a report he had completed earlier.*

Lucan Thorne *Receiving Tegan's text, he smiles, eases back in his chair and drops the lump of wood into the trash bin *Stage one is complete; after his meeting with Gideon is finished, everything will be ready to go.

Carys: * Papers and crayons under her arm she followed Aric down the hall. So far they had been chased out of two rooms and all they wanted to do was color pictures, Carys also had a bag with her, just in case she could get Aric to play tea party with her. he promised and she hadn't forgotten it. She stopped as Aric pushed the door to their Uncle Lucan Thornes office open. It was empty and quiet as the moved inside, Aric climbed up into the huge desk chair and she sat in the chair beside it, movinig some of her uncles things to set her treasures down.* No bodies gonna bug us here, huh Bub?

Comments

Aric Chase *he grins as he swings the chair in circles* Nuh uh. Wanna color? *He swings the chair one more time as he giggles when the funny feeling hits his tummy. When it stops, he turns to the desk and picks up a crayon* Bleh, cwayons. I want markers. *He grins when Carys hands him one* Bwue! I wike bwue! * He pushes on the desk, knocking her jar of glitter off the side, watching as the little sparkles float to the ground.* OH! Wook! * He jumps down, landing in the middle of it and spreading it further. He looks down at his shoes 

Kade Maguire *Heading down the hall between the firing range and the equipment rooms, he only slightly payed attention to the conversation going on between Niko and Brock as they clomped along behind him. Niko had been playing with a new toy and they were all anxious to get it out in the field to see how it worked. Coming around a corner, a high pitched sound caught his attention as he suddenly came to a dead stop in the middle of the corridor* "Dude, Bro, what the….." *He waved a hand to shush them* I heard something, hold on *Taking a few steps closer to Lucan's office, he slowly pushed open the door and stared with a dropped jaw at the Chase Twins, both cover from head to toe in glitter* God damn it, Brock. You leave them alone for five seconds and they shit christmas ornaments all over the damn place….

Brock Breed *Poking my head in the door at Kade's outburst, I stifle a laugh.* Bro, what in the blue fuck is Sterling teaching these two little terrors? *Turning to the glitter twins* Um, hi you two. Did you have a bit of a mess? Aric, what are you doing with that blue marker? *Gasping as Aric starts drawing anatomically correct young boys on the wall behind Lucan's desk* Holy shit..... Uh kids?

Carys Chase * Turning so she could slide out of the chair, she accidently knocks over the pen holder on Lucans desk. Spying the sharpie she pulls the cap off and smiles at the warriors standing at the door. * We's drawring, looking at her Bub she added bewbies to one of his pictures and started giggling. Covering her mouth with her hands, the black sharpie leaves a huge mark across her cheek and Aric points it out. "Silly Car." They both laugh to the horror of the Breed males watching them.*

Aric Chase *he giggles at the black streak across her face and turns to the wall.* Imma dwaw a twee! Ok. *He begins to draw as Sis turns back to the desk, pulling down her stupid tea set. He groans, knowing what is coming next. "It's time for tea Awic, you pwomised!" she says as she sets the cups out on the table. "You" She says, pointing at Kade "You sit hewe" She pats the chair next to her. "Unkie Bwock and Unkie Niko sit there. We have tea. Now." He sighed, her hands were on her hips, she was ready to stomp her foot. There was no winning when she got like this. He shrugged his shoulders and walked over dejectedly* OOhhhkkkaaaayyy. Come on. *He waves over the stunned looking Kade*

{Twins in Trouble} Follow the leader Part 2

Kade Maguire *Looking back and forth between a demanding little Carys and the other warriors* I mean…. like…. what… she serious? *Cringing when he heard her take a deep breath* Oh SHIT! No, don't scream, i'm coming, I'm coming….. *jogging over and taking one last look at where she was pointing* Swear to hell, I mean, heck... if ONE word of this gets out, I'll have the dogs turn your handhelds into chew toys *staring Brock and Niko down as he sat, leaning back when the little bridling placed a napkin over his lap* Uh… thanks *glancing across the little table he made eye contact with Aric, still looking about as thrilled as a pup in the shower stall. He laughed a little and nodded* Sup kid.

Brock Breed *grinning at the little twin terrors and thoroughly enjoying Kade's discomfort, I elbow Niko* Hey bro - grab a teacup and watch this. *quietly pulling out my cell phone and snaps a photo of Kade with the teacup dwarfed by his huge paw* Hey Miss Carys, where's your Mommy and Daddy? *nodding at the artwork* Do you think Uncle Lucan will like the pictures on the wall?

Carys Chase * Pouring imaginary tea, she sighed, one hand on her little hip.* Mommy is with Auntie Gabby and Daddy is wif uncle Giddy. Mommy says to go and drawer and then nobodies will let us so me and hims came here and it was..Nobody here. So.. * Shrugging she growled when Aric pretended to pour his tea out. * You poop, don't do that! * A low rumbling growl from the door had her looking up into her Uncle Lucan's eyes. His arms crossed over his chest, he looked ten times bigger than he normally did and she took a step back and bumped ito Kade's knee's. Mustering up her most innocent smile, she grabbed a tea cup and held it up to Lucan.* Tea? It's wreally wreaaly good..* As he looked down at her, her lip quivered and her blue eyes filled with tears, one escaping to roll down her cheek, over the sharpie mark.*

Aric Chase *His head snapped up at the growl, he watched as she spottedLucan. Her eyes were big as saucers and her face had gone pale. He shuffled quickly around the table, stopping at her side to grab her hand* Weee, uummm. We had tea! Want tea Unkie Wucan, Siw? *He tried to stand up straight like his Daddy told him but his knees shook and he had butterflies in his tummy. * Sshhh. Sissy. *He looked up, and up, and up, and shuddered as he met the amber gaze of the scariest warrior he knew.*Umm. Wew, it's not REAwY tea. But we wanted to color. And I dwopped da jar of gwitter. And *he sniffs, swiping his arm under his nose* I'm vewy sowwy Unkie Siw.

Kade Maguire *Feeling the jolt of terror that passed between the two Breedlings, he quickly jumped to his feet and grabbed one up under each arm* And on that note, I think tea time may be over, Chaselings *glancing back at Brock and Niko, both stone still at the tea table with grimaces on their faces. Feeling momentarily sorry for the twins, he looked back at Lucan* I mean, come on, Boss. *He lifted up Carys* Look at that face….. it was demanding tea….. TEA damn it. Don't you remember the box and string fiasco? I wasn't about to say no twice.

Brock Breed *growling under my breath at Kade, knowing he would never have picked up the twins had Lucan not shown up. Giving Niko a knowing look as if to say "follow along or we're fucked", I take a deep breath and address Lucan* Boss, we were going down the hall and heard a strange noise in your office. We walked in to find the little ones playing. She wanted us to have tea, and we just didn't have the heart to scold either of them. *Pausing for effect, waiting to see how badly Lucan would explode.*

Lucan Thorne *Staring dumbfounded at the scene in his office, he doesn't know which atrocity to react to first... The ton of glitter, the T & A wall art, or the trio of six foot warriors he found holding tiny tea cups; pinkies up.
His low growl rumbles through the room, gaining the attention of five sets of eyes. He raises a hand to quiet Brock as he tries to explain the scene . Everyone seems frozen as he crosses the room, the air turns cold with the dread coming off his warriors, and the two tiny breed offspring Kade is toting. He steps in close to them, bending to see the little breed female; he looks her in the eyes, doing his best to stay focused and look stern. Then snatches her up, tossing her into the air and swings her around. She giggles loudly and Aric starts yelling, "me next, me next, I want a tuwrn" He sets Carys down and playfully chastises her* Why Miss Chase, did you start the tea party with out me? *He turns his gaze to his warriors* Don't you three have work to do? *He grabs Aric, tossing him high into the air, then hangs him upside down by one leg* You and I need to talk about appropriate places for painting nudes, young man. *His warriors streak like lightning from his office, leaving nothing but a swirling dust cloud of glitter in their wake*

TB: New Year's Edition

Carys Chase

A special ‪#‎TBT‬ New Years Edition...

* Jordana and Carys sat on the sofa, huddled together, the boys, Rafe,Aric, and Dare were on the floor in front of the tv. All of them wanted to watch the scary movie , the boys were loving it, Carys, not so much. * Bub! Give some popcorn. You're hogging it from me and Jordi. * Without even looking at her, Aric passed the bowl to his twin and continued watching the movie. Carys didn't really want the popcorn, she handed it to Jordana who didn't want any either so she gave it to Dare who set it front of Aric without even blinking. * This is dumb, come on Jordi. There's a big party and I want to see everyone dressed up.* Carys got up and hopped/ tripped over Rafe, who gave her the stink eye. Carys stuck her tongue out at him and she and Jordi started to leave. " Where are you going?" Aric hissed at her.* This movie is stupid and I want to see the party. * With that she grabbed Jordana by the hand and the two of them took off. *

Jordana Gates-Bishop *giggling, I take Carys by the hand, and we tiptoe out to the landing. Peering through the railing, we really can't see much, but we can hear the laughter and music.* C'mon, let's sneak downstairs! We can see so much better, but we have to be quiet! I wanna see what's going on!

Rafe Malebranche *Seeing the girls leaving, I looked at Aric and Dare* Where are they going?? Didn't they want to watch the movie with us in the first place?? *I never really understood girls. They always wanted to join us for everything we did, but then got too scared to stay for what we were doing. Dare, Aric and I looked at each other and shrugged. I guess none of us understood what the girls were thinking about. My curiosity was peaked though and I wanted to find out what the adults were doing* Maybe we should follow them, just to make sure they don't get into trouble?

Aric Chase *he nodded at Rafe and took Dares hand* come on Dawe, let's see what the girls are doin now.* They headed out the door and such down the stairs. He could hear music and an occasional laugh.* it sounds fun. Dawe, why don't they wet us pway down hewe? They awe. It's not fair! *He spots Jordi in the corner and runs across the hallway to join her and Carys, Rafe and Dare close behind*

Dare Thorne Aric, you're spillin' the popcorn! Who wants to pway down here anyways? They don't got no games or nuttin'. *Crowding in between Rafe and Aric, behind the girls, giving Carys' hair a yank* C'mon, lemme see what they are doin'!!

Carys Chase Ouch! Dare you dummy! * She elbowed her cousin and shifted so he could see. * Looks, there's Mommy and daddy dancing! Oooh, Auntie Gabby looks pretty. * Aric poked her in the side and held a finger up to his mouth, silently telling her to hush* You hushie yous a dork anyway. * Jordi giggled and Rafe poked her side making her squeal* Stop it poo head!! Yous gonna get us in twouble!

Jordana Gates-Bishop Boys! *huffing in disgust* We can't go anywheres without dem doin sumpin bad! Shh!! Oh lookie at them pretty dresses! I can't wait to grows up!! *elbows Rafe and Dare to make them stop laughing* Shut up you guys! We're gonna get caught!

Rafe Malebranche Oooof. Jordi...... don't do that. It hurts. *I pouted and rubbed my side* We don't gets anyone in troubles eithers!!! *I peered inside and frowned* Why is they all dancing?And eating cake? It's nobodies birthday. We'd be there if it was..... Right? *I looked at Dare and Aric*

Aric Chase Yup, definitwy. They wouldn't cewebwate widout us. But, dey awe, huh. Maybe dey don't wuv us no more. *He sniffs and looks at Dare. Dare was older, and the leaders son, so he figured Dare knew everything, right?

Dare Thorne *Smacking Aric lightly upside the head* Don't be so silly. Of course they loves us. We got all that cool stuff for Christmas. You know it's not that Santa guy. It's your mom and dad. *laughing as the other boys start to well up with tears.* Uh oh..... speaking of Dad.....We're in for it!

Lucan Thorne *As the party guests and his family members enjoy the evening, he turns his attention to their surroundings; allowing his senses to become focused, he takes stock of the environment. Quiet on the grounds, and mostly quiet in the house.  Gabrielle slides her arm around his waist, tip toes and lays a kiss on his cheek, whispering in his ear* "Oh no you don't, vampire. No work, you're all mine tonight" *He responds by pulling her against him, kissing her forehead and nonchalantly winking* yes Dear, Just five little details to take care of"   *Making his way silently to the edge of the grand room, he edges near to the stairs. Catching the tiny voices of the little spies, he smiles to himself.  He growls letting the reverb echo out into the hall, then Steps out quickly from the shadows, his eyes glowing. He bellows a loud Ho Ho Ho  then laughs as four little super sleuths run screaming down the hallway. Of course he's confronted by his own miniature image. Dare shakes his head. "I knew it was you Dad". He reaches out and tussles his son's hair* Go on son, go settle them down. Your mother and I will be out to tuck you in just after midnight.
