Calin took both, but looked at the ring for a moment. So...this was it was it? Funny how it seemed so final. Once before where they had been hiding medallions in thier pockets, he was now being asked to wear an insignia in plain sight. A nod to David, with a grumbled thank you as he slipped on the ring. Damn vampires...of course they wanted a shot at them...made him think how they were going to take to having the three new vampires in thier midst. Back upstairs with him, this time penthouse floor.
"I think her and Calin are taking this the harest then." Not that she wasn't, but Semara had always had shown herself as a strong mortal and an even stronger vampire. Besides, right now someone had to be strong for Xearus seeing as he didn't seem to have the will to do it on his own." Quiet a moment as they hit the elevator, Lynx pressing the button to take them the mere floor up...stairs weren't good for Xearus right now. "You really think he'll come looking? Evil and sadistic yes...that stupid? I don't think so." Though Lynx made sense...Darvien would want Xearus back for his abilities...poor thing had been forced to blood walk quite the number of Adrik Elders and the like...he knew a lot in that little head of his.
He was only half listening to what was being said. Words seemed to come through a little muddled to him really. That was probably from the movement though of Semara walking. Every freaking step jostled him, even if it was the slightest bit...and it hurt like hell to. God damn, when Darvien really wanted to put the beat down on you, he really did it, now didn't he. And God help him if Darvien got his hands on him again. Before he had breathed an ill word of Thalia, now he had abandoned the clan...that was major hell to pay.

"He won't come himself, no. but this war is about to escalate. he's going to send people to find him, and bring him back. and more than likely over the dead bodies of any blackrose they come across. Open warfare may be coming soon. and he's teh trigger to it and the prime Adrik target, next to of course, myself, thalia, you and calin."

She let Lynx step out of the elvator first, stepping out after him. After all, she couldn't open door whiel holding Xearus. Briefly Semara looked over as the second elevator made its own arrival, Calin stepping out with kit in hand, taking to following after Semara who followed after Lynx down the hall to the penthouse. "I know this is causing some major trouble, especially since you'll lose direct links into Adrik workings. But we just couldn't stay anymore."

Thalia was scared to death. She had been pacing but that wasn't working for her so she was sitting in a chair, staring out the window. She wanted to kill her father for all the pain and terror he had caused over the years. It just wasn't fair. Xearus was badly hurt and the three of them were now on Blackrose for good. That wasn't good. Her father would never let Xearus go, just like he'd never let her go. She knew that too well. He reminded her of a child with a stack of toys who refused to let anyone else play. It didn't matter that he had a whole stack he never touched, he didn't want anyone else touching them either. She ran a shaky hand through her hair and waited to hear the worst. Lynx...I'm going insane...how bad is it? She knew he'd be able to sense her worry, know her fear and she knew it would upset him. But there was nothing she could do.

Lynx felt her in his mind, the worry, the fear. and he took a deep breath, not that he needed to breathe.
We're right outside now...and it's very bad. Calin has the medical emergency kit. You're not going to like what you see, so be ready
Lynx opened the door, letting in Semara who was carrying a blanket shrouded Xearus, and Calin right in after, taking the kit from him and setting it on the coffeetable, pointing for him to go to the bar. hopefully he would understand it was to get everyone somethign to drink. help calm nerves.

Calin could indeed use a drink. Neither of them had hunted and what with all the violence, stress, and blood letting, they could really use some. His mind entertained...besides...he couldn't look at Thalia right now and no doubt she'd be wanting to prod over his Master...she had no right to touch his Master...this was all because of her anyway...
Seeing as Lynx set the kit on the coffee table, Semara set Xearus, gently as she could, down on the couch. Of course she couldn't hide the slight cringe on her face when despite how gentle she was being he still made a hiss of pain, body tensing in reaction to being set down. Semara knelt on the floor then next to the couch running a hand through his hair again, talking into his mind. Boy were his thoughts running a mile a mintue as well. A look to Thalia.
Stop moving him, stop prodding him, just stop. It all hurt...not to mention that everytime it hurt his body reacted in normal fashion, and that would only open wounds, or make others leak blood. His hands repeatedly fisting from said pain just kept opening the wounds there as well. Still...worse than the pain and anything was the fact that he couldn't see. Right now he was trying to figure out exactly where he was.

Thalia stared for a few moments and she felt like she was going to be sick. Her eyes closed and her face reflected her pain. Her father had done that to him. She walked over slowly and stood by Semara, after shooting a pained glance at Lynx, and said softly, "I'm glad you made it here safely...it couldn't have been easy getting out." She looked down and her eyes widened. Xearus looked awful and Thalia's fists clenched. Her father had done this to him...her father. She laid a hand on Semara's shoulder, all the comfort she could offer...there was nothing she could say. She glanced idly at Calin but didn't spare the fledgling much more than a glance.

"First, no it's not all her fault, Calin. and second..get him in teh bedroom, undo the sheets. Thalia, get some fresh water, see if we can't clean up alot of that dried blood. Semara, get yourself a drink, and thalia as well."
And old command mode took over, making sure people were doing what needed to be done.
"after your nerves are calm some, be ready you're going to have to hold himdown for this. it's not the most pleasent thing, but it works."
He opened up the kit, and there was a syringe, a vial of alcohol, a set of guase, and some blood red shimmering liquid in a ornate perfume looking vial with a easy to pierce top for the syringe.

Leave Calin alone. It's understandable that he's so upset. Thalia shuddered at Xearu's plight. it was about to get a whole lot worse from the looks of the equipment Lynx was getting out. She nodded and walked to teh kitchen, grabbing a bowl and filling it with fresh water. She let the water run in the bowl and started searching through drawers for a rag to use to clean him. She finally found a towel and dipped it in the filled bowl, then picked it up and headed into the bedroom where she set it down on the nightstand and waited for Semara to move him into the bedroom. She swallowed her disgust at her father and concentrated everything on taking care of Xearus. I hope you know what you're doing Lynx...

"Keep in your own head..." He wasn't in the mood for it...and when he wasn't in the mood for something, he was mean about it. Perhaps a little bit of Xearus had rubbed off on him because he was being a bit of an a** as well. Downing the glass of blood in his hand he grabbed a few more glasses, filling more and leaving them on the bar to grab...or bring when things were a bit less hectic.
Semara watched Lynx a moment then looked up to him. "You'll be doing what to him now?" Defensive of the little vampire? Hell yes. He was already in a world of pain and the bond between them only tugged and tore at her, letting her know just how much he wasn't having fun. But she picked him up again, moving him to tbe bedroom. Had Xearus been less injured, Semara would of made a job, saying sorry about ruining hte sheets to Thalia. But she didn't feel like joking. Newly bloodied blankets were pulled away from him as gently as possible, only to reveal all that bruising and lacerations, not to mention bandaging that was one aagin rather soaked through...no he wasn't healing well at all. "Calin! Bring that blood in here!"
He grumbled and downed another glass. Grabbing a little serving tray from behind the bar he piled on glasses as well as another two bottles of blood, walking into the bedroom and setting it on the dresser. A look over to Xearus and it happened all over again. He was pissed that he hadn't gone back earlier, he was pissed at Thalia because she made Darvien angry...
For the love of his fangs...or rather lack there of...what were they going to do to him now. HIs only reactions were some twtching and cringing...and quite the bit of hissing as well. No, he wasn't a happy vampire at all. And though he was concious and hsi eyes searched the room for sight of something or other, he would see nothing and be held in that state of semi self induced paralysis.

"Don't talk back to me right now, childe. I don't need your anger and resentment filterign through the bond you share with Xearus right now, that's all."
He walked in teh bedroom, at first ignoring Semara, anf looking at Xearus.
"Okay. get him cleaned up, and find a vien that can still be used. be prepared to hold him down, as he's not going to like this. I have connections to an order of mages, called the Order of Hermes. they don't know what I am, and as far as they know I'd a decendant of teh roman they first met who's just keeping the family involved. and it's going to stay that way. So no mentioning of the order outside this room."
He set the vial on Thalia's dresser, filing the syring from it.
"Vampiric healing is doen through the blood. the power granted through this allows for us to self heal in a rapid fashion. the older you are, the more potent the blood, the faster you can heal. it's a commonly know fact. however, during the roman heyday..mages used to experiment with ways to simulate our blood's natural effects on healing. and they found one. This, is my blood, infused with thier elixir. and as you can see, I really don't have alot. mages ask for a great deal to trade even small amounts of thier secrets or the things made from them."
He tapped the syringe twice.
"problem is, that the healing rate this will induce in our little friend is going to be ungodly painful. he's going to be regrowign things that take week and days in seconds and minutes. which is why I need you to hold him down. becuase if he further injures himself, this will work on those injuries, adn of course lessen to effects on those that are already there."

He was about to say something...before Semara shot a glare. Yes, there were about two people he ever even thought about listening to. Xearus being the first and Semara being the second...and barely even her. But he wasn't looking to get roughed up and he knew she would do it.
So she did take to helping clean him up, pulling off again bloodied bandages and the the like, but also made trips over to Calin and the dresser, shoting down glasses of blood. God she needed it. Her one meal of earlier was doing her no good as of now and Xearus had taken quite a bit. In truth she had been a bit woozy for the last hour. But then she took to finding a vein on the half pint vampire. Easy enough to find a vein in one of his wrists, seeing as he didn't often slit and rip open the channels there. Made long dead veins much more viable. Though then she looked over to Lynx getting protective again. He'd be alright...he'd be pissed, but he'd be alright...a necessary evil. Climbing in the bed she pushed Xearus up into a sitting position, kneeling behind him where she laced her arms under his from behind, bending her arms back so that her hands rested on his shoulder.
Of course he made a hiss and a noise of protest. Sure...he liked Semara touching and all but right now he would love nothing more than to be left alone and not touched with his agony so try and get his mind in order to get his blood to heal him. They were fussing, he hated fussing. But then again he had to admit that he couldn't do much for himself right now. And to think he didn't know what Lynx had planned for him, he was filtering out voices again. But still...protest to Semara.
She shushed him again as she had earlier, nuzzling at his hair again. " You'll only be hurting a little longer." And she knew that he didn't know too. No point in telling him, he would want to fight it. Might as well let it get done and then he could brood.
Calin however wasn't so keen on the idea. They were going to make him better by in a way torturing him more?! This vampire lords were always looking to be no good sadistic ********, weren't they? Every one of them it seemed. Took all his strength both physical and mental to restrain himself at this point.

Thalia meanwhile had helped Semara clean teh dried blood off of Semara. She wasn't much help past that though she knew she'd be one of the ones forced to hold Xearus steady. She did glance warily at Calin. He was not a happy fledgling and she knew it. Her own anger was mixed with worry and resentment towards her father for doing this and she shuddered when she heard what poor Xearus was going to have to go through. there's no other way? She asked it but she knew the answer. One way or another Xearus was going to have to heal and whle this may seem teh most painful it would speed up his healing process.
Calin knew he was going to be zero help when it came to his Master. He wasn't strong enough to hold him down and his blood wasn't...what word had that b*****d used? potent enough to do any good. That pissed him off, punish him for being so young. Dammit! And it really got to him that the b***h who had caused it all was so shaken up and worried and she was going to get to help. Stupid b***h. If she had just done what she was supposed to do instead of being a rebellious and selfish b***h none of this would have happened. But no, she had to forever piss Darvien off. She knew better than to waltz on in and start s**t! But everyone had to bow down and kiss Lady Thalia's feet. Why? Because of who she was. He was so ******** tired of people using their connections to hid behind instead of standing up and facing their enemies. She hid behind Lynx and Xearus paid for it. Well no more. He wasn't gogni to kiss her feet and Lynx could stake him or beat him or do whatever the hell he wanted to do. He wanted to rip her hands off Xearus but she was stronger than he was. And that pissed him off too. He was useless now.He growled low in his throat and then he didn't even think, he just reacted. He could feel Xearu's pain and he could see Thalia touching him. In a burst of inhuman speed he slammed into her and screamed, "Don't you ******** touch him you b***h! He's in enough pain without you adding to it!"
Thalia was so surprised at his unprecedented attack that she was knocked off balance and quickly threw up her hands to ward off any other blows the fledgling thought she deserved. She heard the hatred in his voice and it just upset her. She hit the floor with a thud, Calin still on top of her and was too stunned to move.

Xearus cringed slightly as he felt Semara jerk as if she was to jump up but remembered she had hold of him. Clouded over gray eyes snapped open once more, searching the room without seeing. What was Calin doing? And his muddled comprehension didn't give him much from meer sounds. But he could feel it from Calin...a rage the fledgling always had that always seemed to get out of control.
He gritted his teeth as another wave of pain hit through him, be it from movement or something else he coldn't tell, it all kind of melted together. Though he did hear the hiss from Semara, and her yelling.
"Calin! Stop it you idiot fledgling! Now is not the time!" She swore if she wasn't holding Xearus Calin would be up against a wall right now, getting slapped. Sometimes he was a little over protective of Xearus, but that was the way of blood bonds. But she wasn't worried, Thalia could easily handle him. A look down to Xearus though as he cringed again.
"C-Calin..." Calin was upset...he didn't like the thought of Calin upset. Calin being upset made him upset which made Semara upset and then angry then he'd get angry then Calin would be angry, just a nice vicious circle. "Calin..d-don't..." A look off to no particular direction before his eyes closed and he more or less went limp against Semara. "Co-me...h-here..." God it was hard to talk...

Lynx grabbed Calin by the neck, and lifted him off Thalia. Holding him in the air, and setting the syringe down. the grip on his neck was a vice, and Lynx said nothing. not one word for a moment to be sure to get Calin's attention. Once he knew he had it, he spoke, quietly.
"the only reason you are still alive right now is the devestation it woudl cause to those bonded to you. That's it. anyone else would be dead right now, human or vampire. So you sit down, shut your mouth, close your mind, or I'm going to throw you out. Xearus and Semara do NOT need that hate or anger comign from you right now."
A look at Thalia.
"Are you alright?"
Then back to Calin, and setting him down, not to gently.
"And I ment what I said. I will throw your a** out of here in a heartbeat."
