Ebony was getting ready to go out for the evening. She decided that she would go to The Lounge. She was dressed in a cute little black pin-striped skirt with a gray turtle neck sweater accompanied with her silver cross necklace and a pair of black Manolo heels. She had her hair fixed straight but the front was pulled around to the back so her long locks stayed out of her face for the most part.
As she walked down the stairs, her heels clacked with every step that she took and the sound bounced off of the empty walls. Kestrel was quick behind her as she walked to the main floor. Once Ebony reached the bottom of the landing she headed to the cork board and left a little note saying that she was heading to The Lounge which was owned by Chiru. She stopped into the kitchen to let Randall and Jermain know of her plans if any of the family came looking for her. She turned to her tiger cub put a leash on Kestrel until she was trained enough to be able to go on her own and walked out the door. The night sky was bright with a full moon that lit up the streets and alleys. The stars were glowing brilliantly and she smiled because they were amazing. She finally came up to the doors of The Lounge and she took a deep breath before walking in because she knew that Chiru would be there since it was her place. She also knew that her father probably didn’t come here often since him and Chiru don’t really get along so this gave her a chance to be able to talk to Chiru and possibly Seppuku without fear that her father would cause a scene. They have looked at her as family since she had proven her loyalties to them but this has recently caused a problem at home when someone informed her father of her thoughts and actions before she could.
Ebony walked up to the Grand Piano that was off in the corner of the bar and kindly asked the gentleman that was playing if she could have a seat and play a little something for everyone. Kestrel jumped up and sat next to her on the piano bench. She opened the cover to the keys and started to play a song that she had created herself to keep her relaxed. This was a song that didn't have an ending so she could purposely play it as long or as little as she liked. This she hoped would also help calm her nerves.
She had spent the last couple days defending herself to the proclaimed “Dragon King” and at the same time watch him lose control of himself to met Tiamet. That was one of the scariest things that she had ever gone through but she still tried to stand as strong and proud as she could to not give herself away. She hated it to have to defend herself for anything that she wanted to do but she knew that if she didn’t she wouldn’t grow in this unlife, but now she felt like she was stuck to face everyday as if it was a constant battle and wonder if she would give in like she did the day before.
She started to think about everything that had been going on in the past week between staying with Astaroth when severance was offered to learning who she truly was and all of these things scared her. She was not herself and probably never will be again. She had been conflicted lately since the fight with Torlogh and there was this incredible bloodlust and rage that coursed through her body because Kerridwen was trying to gain control of Ebony and she couldn't allow that because Kerridwen was evil...very evil and almost potentially worse then the vampire Evil Bill....this was unacceptable. She had gone to Seppuku Shuukakshamaru to see about trying to control her second soul that was stored in her body. After some time and talk they had decided that she could do what was done for Reese....extract the other soul and contain it in a black orb for safe keeping.
She will be the same in the aspects of her powers, magick, and abilities but mentally and emotionally she will be different. She was already starting to show the signs...she was easily controlled by the male pires in her life. Everything that was decided or asked of her she now did and maybe it was because she has this crushing constant fear of their opinions of her and actions towards her that made her submissive to their every word. She still tries to stand strong but even Seppuku in the meeting with Reese, Moon_Shadow and herself had notice this change. She wouldn't make any decisions without thinking what would Reese and her father want. Ebony couldn't give a straight answer because the love that she had for Reese trumped any thought or choice that she had so she decided that she would stick things out and start over. She needed to get to know herself and her father again because this new unlife without Kerridwen has made everything the more interesting and confusing to her. She needed the support of her family and above all her father, but she feared that, at least, Astaroth wouldn’t understand and leave her on her own.
She knew that Seppuku had gone to Chiru after their meeting because she later received a phone call from her. Ebony hadn’t been home but found it on her answering machine. She could tell that they were concerned for her and her well being. Ebony thought that this would be a good time to sit down with her and possibly Seppuku to get some answers and some help. Chiru had mentioned little about her experiences with Astaroth but it was enough that Ebony wanted to hear about what she had gone through, she needed to know who her father really was and what she had gotten herself into by joining the family. She craved the answers and the knowledge now when it was probably too late, but Reese was her only concern now….she couldn’t and wouldn’t lose him.
Ebony continued to play the piano with her eyes closed trying to feel the music in her soul to see if there was anything familiar or if she needed to start completely over. With every touch of the keys she would think about herself, her job, and above all those that she loved dearly that would be affected by this new Ebony and she was scared to death that they wouldn't understand why she chose what she did but she hoped that in time they would...

Chiru ran a hand though her hair allowing her locks to fall around her in waves, sometimes she thought about cutting her hair due to it's well length. Yet she would not go back on her family even if that was human tradions.
She paused holding her head slightly as Astaroth mind entered her own, telepathic messages were such a pain in the ass. As the pain slowly began to disappear she found it hard not to laugh at such things. "Foolish Dragon..." she muttered softly as she leaned forward to look in the mirror.
True he up his request and demands of his family members, no conntact whatsoever with those of her family. Minus of course to Jadeleath and Ebony Moon's lovers. He had to be mad to think he as smart coming up with such a thing. "Going to cause them such problems..." not that she expected either girl to follow such a ruling made by him.
Standing up she grabbed her phone and checked her messages, one from The Lounge told her that she had someone who clearly must be waiting for her as they were playing the piano. She titled her head slightly, she was getting tired of people thinking they worked for her when they clearly didn't.
Grabbing her cloak she wrapped it around her, she would need to speak to ayla soon, she must be awfully hurt but she had known of such things for some time. He had come to her about it after all, and though she had doubted such a time would come she had to think that it indeed dealt with perhaps the whole marriage that she was to be.
She made her way towards the Lounge, both Kisho and Kimi at either side of her as she stopped and looked in one of the windows, she tilted her head slightly wondering at the necklaces, making a small mental note she disappeared into the shadows which help to block the cold wind until she came into the Lounge.
All at once her cloak fell off as she did so the shadows that she had wrapped around her also fell and she stared at the building. No one really here, and she gave a mental note before nodding towards one of the bartenders. Who nodding towards the vampiress playing on the piano.
Chiru couldn't help but crack a small smile at such things, and moved towards Ebony pushing some of the vampiress hair off her shoulder her eyes wandering towards the tiger club as though debating if it was a snack or a pet before pulling back towards Ebony "If you wish to talk perhaps a more private room? Unless you do not care about such things..." she looked towards the doors "We will know the moment he enters or appears in here dear..." she looked towards her "after all she knows most things that happens in her place of business those around her may not."
She pulled away from Ebony and moved towards the bartender calling behind her slightly as she did so, "How are things with that Dragon?" she knew a far stronger dragon in this city, and had come even to adore the man. She found it almost amazing how he held none of the same... foolishness. "It seems that your father deems that she has no respect, no honor... and of course, that she is far to weak to fight... after all he is a big bad... dragon" she grinned softly allowing the words to sound far sweeter than they were meant almost as though speaking about a lover.
"Not to say, aren't you disobeying the big bad dragon?" she said pulling some hot water into a tea cup.

Ebony turns her head towards Chiru when she approached and addressed her. She gave a half smile and nodded. She was glad that Chiru came and that it wasn't long after that Ebony sat at the piano to play that she had arrived. She closed the lid to the keys to protect them from dust and picked up the tiger cub as she stood.
"Yes I think we should talk in private." She looks to the door as Chiru talked about knowing if he showed up. "I honestly don't care if he shows up or not and yes I am disobeying orders but that is none of his concern. He can't control us the way he wants." She followed Chiru over to the counter and looked at the bartender and asked for a cup of tea for herself. She waited for Chiru to lead the way knowing that she was safe with her.

Chiru chuckled softly, "Hai, sure he will not be pleased about this at all when he learns that you are breaking his orders... though this seems to be a common thing... so there is no need to worry." she said softly towards Ebony Moon as she set up a tray to take with them. After all she had seen the newspapers had dealt with his family on several accounts to see that is lack of control was perhaps the thing that bothered the dragon the most. Yet she couldn't help but smirk at the thought that she had no control over her family or at least so she had been told.
"We can go to her office dear... be the most private of places to go in this place." She said turning to face the vampiress "and you should hold no fear at all." she said this with a slight firmness "He just a dragon with a bad tempter and far from the dragon leader of all dragons." she chuckled softly, "she knows a wonderful dragon indeed and a great warrior on top of it."
Moving towards the back, which normally lead downstairs to more of a place for fighting or things that shouldn't be seen for simply any human who might wander in before turning her key and unlocking the side door that led upstairs, pausing for a moment "if one of her sons or daughters come to see her allow them to come up, otherwise no one else." With that she held the door open so that Ebony could walk up the stairs first, careful as she held the tray.
Once Ebony began to the climb up to the second floor Chiru moved towards her office and unlocked it careful to keep the tray from spilling, her husband's office had been empty for some time and then of course Nemesis was right near. "The owners have private places... for their own meetings of whatever it is they wish to do within those rooms. It's a good way to keep people out who shouldn't come in."
She moved towards the wooden oak desk that looked far to old to be in such condition and sat down the tray before nodding towards the red velvet couch, "please take a seat... and tell her what is on your mind." she said taken the cup that had been for Ebony and holding it out for her to take.

Post by Seppuku on Feb 16, 2008 13:33:04 GMT -5
Seppuku shifted slightly under the sheets, his long, dark locks fell around him, sheltering his face in a rather erotic manner. His eyes shot open, revealing two bright, blue eyes, which seemed to glow in the shadows. As soon as he had blinked clarity to his sight, he sat up, applying a cool palm to his forehead. “Another nightmare…” he whispered. It was the same one he had been having for the past three nights. Locked in a dark basement, chained, and completely naked as he awaited more torture from the man who put him there, the one who caused him so much torment. Seppuku quickly shook his head, ridding his mind of the horrible, yet arousing images. A heavy sigh emitted from his plump lips as he stared around his room, noticing that his two large rottweilers, Buster (Bu) and Bocephus (Bo), had taken their spots at the foot of his bed. He smiled warmly at them, causing them to crawl closer to him, nuzzling his hands as they fought for his attention. “Are you two hungry?” he asked. Both dogs reared their massive heads, licking their jaws. Taking that as a yes, Seppuku pushed them aside and slipped out of bed, walking to the kitchen and retrieving two human arms, placing them in their bowls. Once they were satisfied, Seppuku made his way back to the bathroom and turned on the shower, allowing the steam to cleanse his senses. He stepped beneath the hot spray, letting it rove over his well-toned body, drenching his hair, continuing to allow the relaxing rhythm to put his taut muscles at ease. Once he was content, he reached over to cease the water flow and stepped out, taking a towel from the rack to dry himself and wrap around his waist. ”Master! Mr. Bear brought you some clothy clo-humpf…” Seppuku glanced over at the doorway, seeing the small pink rabbit face down on the floor, with his clean clothes as well. With an irritated stare, he kicked the doll back into his room, hearing him hit the wall with a soft thump, then land on the floor once again. “You should learn not to be so clumsy. Tripping over your own feet… stupid rabbit…” he mumbled, lifting his clothes from the floor. The happy barks of a puppy soon filled the silence. Just as Seppuku was finished dressing himself, a wicked grin formed on his face as he heard the horrified screams of his servant. ”rrrrrrraaaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”As he walked out of the bathroom, he watched the playful antics before him, well… not so playful for Mr. Bear, of course. The new addition to the family, had graced Mr. Bear with his presence once again. The cheerful pup had the rabbit’s head, firmly in his mouth, biting down continuously as if he were a chew toy. Mr. Bear’s stubby arms and legs waved about franticly. Seppuku couldn’t help but chuckle at Demon’s (the puppy) ‘love’ for the nuisance. “Take good care of my babies, Mr. Bear.” ”Do what?! Mr. Bear does not approve of such arrangement! Master!”When Seppuku exited his room, Buster and Bocephus stood in the doorway, staring at Mr. Bear with a hungry gaze, thinking ‘Yes, Mr. Bear… do take good care of us, or else.’ Taking his coat, he made his way out the door and out the front entrance of the hotel, making his way towards the Lounge. Why? Well, that’s where Chiru was, and what better way to start off the night than to pay a visit to your dear, sweet mother. He entered the Lounge, making his way back towards his favorite table, when one of the bartenders approached him, “Sir, I believe your mother, Chiru, is in her office. That is, if you are looking for her, of course.” Seppuku stared at him for a moment before glancing over towards the door that led up to their offices. Without another word, he made his way up, following Chiru’s scent until he came to her door. Another was with her… He wrinkled his nose at the scent… Astaroth’s scent. Over the past three or four days, Seppuku had grown tired of the dragon’s stupid assumptions. He shook his head, reaching up to knock on the door and waited for a reply.

Ebony started up the stairs when Chiru held the door open for her. When they reached the top of the landing, Ebony waited for Chiru to open the door to the office. She stepped into the office after her and then took a seat on the couch while taking the cup of tea from her.
"Well, I was wondering if you could tell me about the experiences that you have had with my dad -ahem- *shakes head* ummm...sorry Astaroth. I know that there is a past between you that has caused tension as of late. I just...just want everyone to be safe within your family and Astie's girls."
Ebony let out a sigh but just then she heard a knock on the door, she stopped talking and turned her head towards the door to see who might walk through. She was hoping that it wasn't Astaroth because if it was then there would surely be a scene. She tried to stay as calm as possible but held on to Kestrel so he wouldn't take her if he decided to take her from her even though he gave Kestrel to her as a gift.

Chiru closed her eyes to tell her about Astaroth well that would take some time and she wasn't sure the girl would have such time. Then again perhaps she would, but she would not let this be the reason why she severed from her sire either, not by her own words. Looking towards the door as she heard a knock she rose from where she sat and looked towards Ebony Moon, "Astaroth would not be able to get up here dear so don't worry... if anything it's simply one of hers or one of the staff..." she opened the door and sure enough there was Seppuku.
"Hello dear.... Ebony Moon is with us tonight... to talk about Astaroth... even though she has orders to not to speak to us. Isn't that sweet of her to come all this way to do speak with us?" she stepped aside to let him in. "Would you like something to drink, Seppuku?" she asked raising her eyebrow to look at him slightly.
Her eyes turned towards Ebony Moon before she asked her one more question, "Just what are you wishing to know about him? Experiences hai... but that should not be the reason for you to dislike him. They are her reasons after all... and many of them deal with Damon and him and always somehow being in the middle."

Seppuku stepped in the room, his gaze shifting over to Ebony, giving her a stern look. “Astaroth, eh?” he mumbled, walking past Chiru. “Yes, how sweet of her…” He took a seat on the couch, but kept a respectable distance between he and Ebony. In truth, he wasn’t particularly fond of how things were being handled at the time. He lounged back, keeping his eyes on Ebony while he answered, “Nah, I can do without a drink for right now.”
He cleared his throat, looking over to Chiru, “So what’s going on with the dragon, other than uncontrollable piles of shit?” Seppuku inclined his head, resting his arm off the back of the couch. Yes, he was in a somewhat bad mood, but he’d give it a shot at keeping control of his violent outbursts.

Ebony nodded when Chiru stated "Astaroth would not be able to get up here dear so don't worry..." When Chiru opened the door Ebony smiled as she saw Seppuku at the door. Her smile slowly faded as she noticed that he wasn't particularly happy. She knew that a lot of it had to do with Astaroth but she hadn't helped matters either and she knew this. She looked to the ground when she took notice that Sepp sat down on the couch with her but kept as far away as possible.
Chiru caught her attention again when she started talking once more, so Ebony looked at Chiru out of respect. Ebony listened to what Chiru said and then to Sepp with disdain or possibly a bit of anger in his voice. She looked between the both of them. She loved them both and looked to them as family and because of this she felt safe.
When Ebony heard the question come from Chiru about her inquiries of Astaroth she nodded in understanding about there being reasons as to why Chiru might not tell her.
"I have my own thoughts about my Da...Astaroth. I am aware of part of his past with Damon because I sought Damon out for them. Astaroth, himself would not tell me...he would only beat around the bush when it came to the topic. I am also aware of very little that went on between Bambi and Astaroth. With those experiences alone between the ex-childer...I feel that there is a bad pattern that should be addressed, however, I also know that he would never listen."
Starting to feel a little more comforable when she spoke, she decided she should relax. She put the cup of tea down on the table next to the couch so she wouldn't spill the contents held within and then put the almost sleeping cub on the floor to curl up at her feel. She then turned back to Chiru.
"I feel ashamed at how he had acted towards you and Seppuku to cause more tension between the two families and for that I am truly sorry. I had never hoped for Astaroth to be so awful to your family especially since some members of his own house love those in your family very much. I have always wanted to know about the past of this family and him but when you talk to him about anything....he changes the subject. I want to be able to learn as much as I can so I can try and help patch things up somewhat between the two families especially now for Jade's sake."
"Chiru, I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank you once again for helping me sever from Astaroth. I would also like to thank the both of you for being there for me when I needed someone to talk to when I could talk to my own father, especially you Seppuku. That is why I have come...to show you both my personal thanks and gratitude but also seek knowledge as well."
Ebony looked between the two pires as she spoke to them about her thoughts and feelings with compassion in her emerald eyes..she loved them both and their family. Above she loved Reese, so she wanted to do anything that she could to do right by this family. She knew that all she could do was take it one day at a time while taking one step at a time, only time will tell.

Chiru closed her eyes as Ebony Moon spoke about what she wished to know and why, she gave a small nod of her head towards the thanks and then looked towards the window that showed nothing but a mountain land in some valley clearly not real but seemed to be almost as real as if it was really there.
She recalled the talk about how Reese had asked her to stay the misunderstanding that had happened, true at one point and time it would had been so but Ebony Moon had proved she was worthy of their love and protection and until she had done something to disprove such a thing well that was to be another matter all at once. One could always change how she thought about them. She looked towards Ebony Moon as the tiger was placed on the floor she found herself trying very hard to not growl at the creature, she wasn't a cat lover but understood that others were and she could not hold that against them.
"You are welcome dear, it is ashame that he could not be talked into setting you free... but he is set in his ways. Reese understood that you were not happy and would not blame you in such things..." she closed her eyes leaning back some on the desk "but understand, while we will protect you from that which you do not cause on your own, we can not be expected to change our views to protect you on things you cause. So in this case, if Astaroth raises a hand against you due to your wish to leave, we will stand with you. There is no fault in this and he would be foolish to come for your blood."
She moved to the otherside of her desk, Kisho and Kimi coming with her as she sat down in her chair closing her eyes as she folded her hands and rested her chin on them. "Astaroth and her... ah was so long ago... he had a habit of trying to push his weight around, the god within him as a reason for it all perhaps. Became an issue and had she not rejoined Castle of Shadows, she most likely would had seen to it his first Torpor was done by her... but that was not the case... she agreed to Anjana an oath to say the least to protect the creature, due to Anjana's love for him. So she did just that... though his insults to her family, to her sister, to herself... until it came until he attacked Kestrel her husbands niece at the time. She came there to calm things down but needless to say the dragon thought nothing of it and attacked Kestrel once again trying to break his way in perhaps into the head of their line or perhaps all of their line."
She looked at Ebony, "You see this line was a line of madness and those who tried to enter their minds, would find that the madness alone would taken over their own minds, that you could not control that which was mad... but no harm came to him again perhaps due to the god that lives within him..." she closed her eyes. "But he signed his death with this... and so we began to attack him, in the end he hid within th shadows, trying to get aid. His family came to her and she informed them just why and they stood down not getting into it. It was his fault and they would not join to protect him... he begged us, and in the end we agreed to take ayla myst from him." she opened her eyes again.
Looking down at the desk, "Ayla was informed to give us an oath, to never harm our blood, Diana's Aneres or hers and if she did such a thing she would be free. She agreed and was set free and has done grand things." she looked towards Seppuku for a moment given a warm smile towards him. "As long as they are of our blood they are not to be harmed it is a wonderful thing indeed..." she closed her eyes.
"She wished to fix the friendship that had been destroyed for the most part due to Astaroth's attack on her husbands family and he demanded that she bring him her husbands head. Clearly that was a foolish thing to request from her and she refused such a thing. He of all was not worth the one she loved. This did not set well with him... and so we did not speak for some time. When we did he was sorry and hence our friendship once again reformed... he was now thinking about leaving his family and his bloodline and he had come to her and asked her to bind into her family. Now many within her family had issues with him and so she requested that he work on those issues with them... he said he would... but in the end clearly he was wanting a name or something with more power that he could cling onto and bonded to Majica."
She sighed softly, "As Majica's childe he had what he wished for but that would not last either...." she stopped looking at them. "In the end as Majica's childe she tried to help him into getting into a clan to be apart of something more and a family. This was during the war and while he told her that he was to wait she was foolish enough to believe him. He was not to join our clan and our family... and as such he did not like it. She never bothered to ask why nor did she care at the time. Something between Majica and Astaroth happened and he was severed."
Licking her lips softly "She will not get into such things that is something you will have to speak to Majica about if you wish to learn why that is... as for Astaroth, our friendship remained to a point until near the time he was to bind to RemipunX, now she wanted to take ShatteredAngel, the husband of Bambi_boi as her childe, and Astaroth refused to allow her, claiming that her reason for wanting the boy was because she was out to hurt RemipunX now, that is her choice and she will not fight such a thing. After all, there was rumors that was the whole reason why she took Seppuku as well, to control him." she chuckled softly at this point.
"He came to her saying that if she was to take him as her childe, she would regret such a thing, and she informed him that he would need to attack her to make her think twice about such a warning... needless to say he was more than willing to do so even going far enough to say that Majica would protect him. Now she doubted such things, because Majica would not attack her knowing the reasons for this. She went to Majica who sent Lena to deal with the matter between us. Astaroth was going on and on... about how her clan would not take him due to Majica being a blood holder, and how AQelDroma ordered something of him that he could not give... she of course went right to her clan and learned the truth. She could not believe such things... and they were lies. We had taken others of Majica's line in the past, and what was asked of him that he could not give, was for him to show up more than once during the whole war, and want to fight with them... and she informed them that he was around during that time while they were fighting because she had talked to him before and after our hits... so there was no way he could not had come in... learning this her lost of respect of him went down."
She closed her eyes "she requested Anjana to allow her to be free of her oath of him and she set her free of such a thing... and after Anjana's death... she destroyed the building that had been Anjana's home... and his wish to destroy the whole lands that had held it upset her greatly... she used the last of her strength at the time to set them out... then of course our last meeting with him dealt with you and your promise to us... and then again with his demands to speak to her instead of her son who was taken care of this family while she was away... she is not pleased with this dragon or the god that lives within him..."

Ebony listened as Chiru spoke on the topic of Astaroth and the anythings that had happened in the past between the two. Hearing about some of the actions that he had made didn't surprised her and other just made her sick to her stomach. She noticed as Chiru went on that there were things that she had heard before but those were not as informational...they had come from Chiru when Ebony first sought out answers during the times of her trial for her actions against Reese.
As she listened, Ebony picked up the cup of tea off of the table next to her and took a sip. She would periodically turn to Seppuku to see what his reactions might be and she still wondered why he was being slightly cold to her....heck she has done everything he has asked of her so far and wanted nothing to do but make the two of them proud of her. She was processing all of the information that Chiru was giving her and was fascinated and disturbed by Astaroth's previous actions but then because of it, didn't surprise her as to why he was acting the way he was now. When Chiru got to talking about some of the recent events that Astaroth had done mainly because of herself, she put her head down and closed her eyes for a moment while letting out a little sigh. When she opened her eyes and lifted her head to look at Chiru.
"I am sorry for all of the trouble that he has caused you over the years. I am also sorry for him treating your family badly especially as of late because of me. That was not something that I had ever wished upon your house and in fact I tried to take care of it myself, but that is where he started to question my own loyalties to him and where I stood between the two families. I still do not know what Astaroth spoke to you or Seppuku about in those recent meetings especially right before my severance. I still have strong loyalties to both houses but when it comes to Astaroth himself...well he has lost that option because of his personal actions and threats towards me and then for me to find out that there were possible threats to your family as well...that didn't go over well with me."
"I personally do not think you control your family...I may not be on the inside though but from what I can see...you are nothing but caring and protective to all of them. Your childer, grandchilder, nieces, and so are all loyal to this family because of how it's run. Heck I have noticed that the 3 childer that have left or have been severed have come to your family one way or another because of your loving kindness. There maybe times that you maybe stict but that is only natural as a parent to protect your family. I only say that because of the recent gag order that was placed on both sides...yours...was more sensible than Astaroth's as you only put the gag order out on the person that was causing the problem opposed to Astaroth who forced the whole family to not talk to anyone in your house and then putting another out for no contact with me."
Ebony let out another little sigh as she spoke because this was hard for her to talk about but she needed answers and she trusted Seppuku and Chiru especially since they have been nothing but kind to her recently. She smiled at the both of them for being so co-operative with her on her search about Astaroth and still bringing her into their family even though she used to be once his. She then turned to Seppuku who was still on the other side of the couch and hadn't really said anything.
"I would now like to know about your distaste, bad experiences, and so on that you have of Astaroth. This still doesn't change my current thoughts of him but because of recent events and choices that he is still currently making...he hasn't helped his cause any."
Ebony looked between the both vampires that she hoped that she could truly call family. She cared for them more then they could possibly understand and that is why she was craving this knowledge...how could she try and protect them against him if she didn't know about the past and what they experienced with him.

While Chiru was talking to Ebony about her experiences with Astaroth, Seppuku had taken out a small silver coins and began to flip it between his fingers. He knew of the trouble Astaroth has caused for his mother. He knew much of it. Seppuku remembered when he first met the dragon. He and Wings were with him in the city, though, they didn’t seem to stay long. At the time, Seppuku was bonded to Remi’s childe and Remi was bonded to Astaroth. It was the only connections they had at the time. But the more bullshit he heard about the dragon, the more his dislike grew.
Seppuku lifted his gaze to Ebony, as she spoke of her interest to know of his feelings about the subject. His eyes narrowed, “You… would like to know of what I think of him?” He placed the coin back into his pocket and shifted slightly on the couch, getting comfortable. He tapped his chin in thought, “My reasons are my own. Though, I suppose one would have to have a reason in order to improve one’s self. I’ll tell you this… I do not appreciate rumors being spread about me. I’m sure nobody does. It happened to me once before… That I was in a clan, when I wasn’t. Now, that ever got told to the wrong people… that would have been a mess, now wouldn’t it?
Then, I have Astaroth… going around saying that I was trying to steal his childe away from him. Honestly… any adult would go to the source FIRST and see what the truth is before shouting out rumors just to start some shit. But no, people have to be little children and go about spreading rumors, in which they don’t know jack shit about. Either, A, they are very bored and don’t have a (un)life, or B, they really, really have something against the other. And yes, Astaroth apparently had something against me, because you came to ME instead of going to him. Jealous, maybe? That his own childer come to me instead of going to their sire. Now, that isn’t my problem, is it? No, it’s not. It’s not my fault his childer are too scared to run to their daddy when they’re in need.”
He took a deep breath and sighed, saying more than he wanted. Oh well. Seppuku shrugged and reached over to grab a cup of tea and downing the contents quickly, to ease his dry throat. He sat the cup on the desk and clicked his tongue ring against his fangs gently as he kept his eyes on Ebony. “Isn’t that right, momma?” he asked, looking at Chiru from the corner of his eye, his voice cold and monotone. “Rumors are such a dreadful thing and cause unnecessary drama. We don’t like drama, do we momma?”

I can understand your disapproval of Astaroth and wanting to keep most of it from me by your personal choice, however, I feel that your distaste at this time is not really towards Astaroth...it's towards me.
*Sits back and crosses her arms while looking at him with an eye brow raised*
I am now curious as to how you both feel about me, especially you Seppuku. I mean I am going to marry your son, which means I will be your daughter-in-law. I really think that this should get out in the open at this point to know where we all stand. I am not trying to bring drama but for some reason it just happens sometimes. Please enlighten me.

ooc: First things first hon, this thread was started before Ebony Severed. I allowed the whole afterwards severing but I'm not going to allow this 'future-daughter-in-law' which happened WAY after this thread even started. Please understand I don't like people jumping ahead in time lines. I will simply play it as your character's hope that it will be the case one day.
ic: Chiru stared at her for a moment, "Her judgment is as it is. For the most part she has accepted you as apart of her family and has even given you the coins required for you to sever from your ex-sire. Understand that those weren't a gift, but a loan. She knows that Reese cares greatly about you and as such as long as you make him happy she should not care now should she?" she raised and eyebrow at her.
"You see Ebony Moon, if she didn't like you, she would never had loaned you the coins in the first place. She might not like Astaroth but she would never harm him in such a way just to get even with him." She closed her eyes leaning back where she sat. "As for how Seppuku is, you are taken his son away from him. His first childe to be engaged one night to her grandson... his son... which will only lead to marriage in the end. So we can hope."
"Now besides that, she thinks that you indeed have some future Ebony and given the right care and love and support you will do well. Now, that is what she sees. What is important however is not what we think of you but what Reese himself thinks of you. If you spend your time worrying about our thoughts over you and others, then you are spending them foolishly. That is what she believes though."
