There was the sound of the front door opening, and new auras clouded Lucy’s mind. More people? She pushed off the kitchen counter and walked slowly out into the hall to see who it was. She noticed Lata and Orion first, then the children. They looked familiar.. From the orphanage? Yes, she’d seen them when visiting the orphanage. She had never been allowed to actually talk to them, but she had definetly seen them. “What’s going on?” She asked hesitantly.
(It's only one child lol)
"Well, um… surprize…!" Lata said nervously. She had no idea how to explain this to Lucy. She also really did not want to bring up the marriage thing either.
(Oops lmao)
Lucy arched a brow in question, but nodded anyways. She looked down at the young boy with a warm smile. “What’s your name, sweetheart?” She asked. His aura was off. He couldn’t be completely human.
(It's fine lol)
"My name's Ben," he replied respectfully. "I think I remember seeing you at the orphanage before, miss."
Lucy nodded slowly, then crouched down to his height. “That’s right. I used to help out there with the sick children. My name is Lucy,” she said in a kind tone.
Ben smiled at the woman. Her aura also seemed quite gentle and welcoming. The three he had met so far all had similar auras in the sense that they were kind at heart. As well as the fact that he could feel that each held a deep hurt inside. Further away, he felt a fiery-like aura, seeming more towards protective than kind. At the current moment, it didn't seem to be hostile. That could be the man that Orion had mentioned. He almost snickered at the thought of the excuse that Sam was a dog.
"It's nice to meet you, miss Lucy," he said.
Sam squinted at the child. Something was wrong with him, but he couldn't quite place it
(aYYYY WB MAN)
“It’s wonderful to meet you too, you’ll be much happier here,” Lucy responded, giving Ben a gentle rub on his shoulder.
(hi again lol) Sam continued to stare at the kid, watching him quietly. There was something about him that made him seem…not entirely human
(I WANNA RP THE LEMONADE THING SOON LMAO)
Ben smiled at the gesture, but then looked over at Samandriel. He certainly was having a good ol' time staring at him. "You must be Sam then, right?" he asked, hoping to get Sam to explain himself for staring.
(The what lmao)
(WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS LATER ON IN THIS RP, LIKE BEN FREAKS SAM OUT AND HE FALLS INTO LEMONADE OR SOMETHING) "It's Samandriel, child," Sam grumbled
(OR WOULD YOU PREFER SAMMY, HMMMMM?
Also omg I would die laughing)
Ben shrugged. Not everyone was polite with introductions
Lata jumped into the conversation. "Just let him call you Sammmmmm. Please? He's gonna be living here with us so you're gonna have to get used to him!" she exclaimed.
Sam's eyes widened. "Wait, he's going to be living with us?"
(@Opia In another rp, Sam accused Lata of spilling lemonade on him and stuff so I kinda wanna rp that lol)
(Call him Sammy till he reaches his breaking point)
(Alright Lmao)
(Lata: NOOOOO, WE KIDNAPPED HIMMMMMMM)
Lata nodded. "Yeah."
Ben looked at the four in the room. It already seemed like this would be some heck of a family.
“He’s definitely not going back to the orphanage,” Lucy mumbled, standing back up and straightening her blouse.
Ben gave a relieved sigh. Thank goodness he would never have to go back to that terrible place. Mrs. and Mr. Quill were awfully terrible to him and his fellow magic users.
"Are you certain he came from the orphanage?" Slowly, the difference in Ben's aura was making more and more sense
"Look, I didn't go into that hell hole for nothing. I'm positive. I went with Orion literally just moments ago." Lata said, slightly irritated with Sam's questioning. The kid was even younger than her for that matter. Come on, give him a break, Sam.
(is this the part where I get to reveal that Ben's not a kid?) "I'm not sure he is what you believe he is," Sam said with a deeper frown than normal
(Idk, I'm just winging it lol)
"What is with you today?" Lata asked, irritated that Sam was so reluctant to accept a new member to the family. Usually even he wasn't this grumpy.
Ben froze, but covered it up with a confused look. Did he already see through my disguise…?
(Sure, if you want.)
“You’re joking, right? He’s what, nine or so?” Lucy said, frowning softly.
(wait ok so am I taking Ben over now?)
(If you want?)
