Fancy Gents (Hana)

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael did a lot of odd and questionable things in his life, but he had a habit of making some awesome kids. He was walking with little Gabriel, hand in hand while the little boy clutched his violin case. "You will do fine." The little blue eyed doppleganger looked up. "Really daddy?" the elder fancy one nodded. "I promise!" Raphael lead the boy to a bar, a nice one mind you, where he would be playing for the night, his first gig. He walked in with the tiny vampire at his side and looked around. "You'll wow them ."  the boy bit his lip. "Ill make you proud daddy!"

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana was already posted up at the bar, and had been for a while. The glass of wine was in her hand one she'd been nursing for some time. The bartender had informed her of some musical performance that night, and considering she didn't have anything to do anyway, she figured she might as well stick it out.

The half-'pire glanced over her shoulder when the door swung open, and was a little more than surprised to see Raph walk in with a child that could be nobody else's but his. "You steal that?" she asked, pointing to the boy, obviously teasing.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael knew the voice the moment he heard the snark in it. "Ah bonsoir." he approached the saucy woman and little Gabriel clung to his coat as he looked up. "Hi, Im Gabriel D'Sanguinatus. Ill be performing tonight." Raphael pattedt he boy's shoulder. "this is my son, i actually made him and everything and he goes to a private school and gets good grades."He leaned in close to the wee woman. "even i can do a little good for the world non?"

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana's face absolutely lit up when Gabriel opened his mouth. "You're performing? I'm glad I stayed then!" She got up from her seat and extended her hand to the boy. Since he was already almost as tall as her, she didn't even have to kneel. "I'm Hana Tachiban, an old friend of your father's."

All she had to do was look at Raph to portray how proud she was of him. He'd made something awesome. . .really awesome. Gabriel got the 100% seal of approval from Hana.

[Raphael Delemater]

Gabriel was now faced with quite the challenge. He had better impress this refined friend of his father's, so when she held out her hand to him he took it and kissed the back of it like a proper tiny gentleman. "Oh Daddy said you were the petite ange!" his manly composure was lost as he remembered stories oof the town where his dad met his mom, about how he had a half brother about the mean people, and the angel that used to scold dad when he was naughty. It was a rich tapestry. "Oh im gonna go get on stage, watch me okay?" taking his violin he got up on the stage and Raph took a seat grinning like a fool. "Hes definitely more charming than I am." he commented as the boy began to play.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana nearly swooned. "Oh, mon dieu, your charm must be from your mother." She smiled like a fool, red-cheeked and giddy. Gabriel was exceptional. When the boy took the stage to play, Hana stood beside Raph and looked every bit as proud as he did.
"I might steal him," she commented quietly. "His mother. . .is Marista?" She had to think to recall the woman's name. Two unlikely parents created the perfect child. It was like science. Two negatives make a positive.

[Raphael Delemater]

The blonde fop nodded. "Oui she is. Im glad that she sent him to a nice school and hes learning violin." he spoke in a hushed tone as Gabriel played, and proved, that like his old man he skilled with a violin at that age. His eyes widened at the prospect of stealing him though. "Ohh no, I was stolen away from my father I wont have even you take him. ..he can visit though." he added, feeling some guilt over ever denying Hana a child. she was crazy for kids. He slipped nto silence, just listening tote boy play and maybe there was a hint of sadness in those elvish eyes. He still didnt know what became of Lysander, he had missed so many years with his own father, and though it was far less obvious, he missed when he was like Gabriel, a composed and charming frenchman.

[Hana Tachiban]

Hana refused to tear her eyes away from Gabriel. Watching him reminded her of when Crimson was a child, and she was teaching him piano for the first time. He took to it so naturally.
"I'd even make regular trips back to the states to babysit for you...you're probably so busy." She was smiling and trying to coax as much visitation time out of Raphael as possible. She was so envious of him. He'd made two children, and while she'd only seen Lesandre once, it was the fact that he existed that turned Hana green.
"After Arun, I got pregnant twice again over the years, both of which resulted in nothing." Her blue eyes were still on the child. "And you made this happen...what I wouldn't give to be you, Raphael."

[Raphael Delemater]

The fop had ordered his usual and settled into listen to his son play Beathoven's 5th when Hana revealed her adoration for cuddley little ones and said something that absolutely floored him. She would want to be him, something he never expected anyone to say. "Mon dieu Hana That is a cruel joke to be played on you, you should have that son of yours make you some babies, you could steal those."he paused to clap for his boy as the song ended. He bit his lip as he watched him climb off stage and when he approached them, eyes shining, he gave him a big old hug and exclaimed. "Gabriel my boy, how would you like to visit with Auntie Hana so your mother and I can go do adult things tonight, would you like that?" Gabriel lit up. "Can I bring Farouche?" The little dog had been introduced to Gabriel recently an he adored the jolly pup in a cravat. "Well ask Madam ange."

[Hana Tachiban]

She'd told Crimson before to settle down with some girl and make babies for the tinier vampire to have, but Crimson had laughed it off, having thought Hana was joking. She wasn't. Working under Akusai kept her busy and prevented her from getting baby-sad, so as long as she stayed occupied, she was fine.
"I think you might play better than a certain vampire I know," Hana suggested to Gabriel before glancing toward Raph, smirking. "You did great." When Raph asked if the boy wanted to spend the night with Hana, she clasped her hands together and nearly squealed in delight. "Bring Farouche, yes! We could get ice cream, or go see an opera. . .whatever a sophisticated gentleman like you does with your time." In a simpler time, kids played with LEGOs. Gabriel was way too cool for that.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael was now on a mission to make that fool boy churn out babies so he didnt have to be separated from his son too much. the kid was making him so proud and he was charming too. When Hana offered him the idea of ice cream or operas or other fun he was just elated and lit up. "Really? Merci Miss Hana.Umm.." he looked back at his father an the blonde smirked."dont be shy Gabriel, ask her." the boy nodded. "I would like to have icecream and a slumber party and go to a concert but i want to know what music you like. Daddy says all music connects us!"

[Hana Tachiban]

Was it obvious that Hana was falling in love with Gabriel? Because she totally was, and she felt as though it was written all over her face. "I think a slumber party and ice cream and a concert sound great. . .hm. I love classical music-" she gestured to Raphael, "which is why we've always gotten along. Hm. . .I liked all of the music in the 1940s, but nobody has concerts like those anymore. What would you like to see?"
While Gabriel thought, Hana stood straight and smiled at the crazy ass blonde. "Thank you, Raphael."

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael was batshit crazy but, maybe not as bad as he was always made out to be. he gave his old friend a little shrug. "Eh it's no problem Gabriel's such a good kid, I dont have to worry too much about him, i still feel bad though that I havent been able to track down his big brother, that would be an impressive pair. Cest la vie I suppose." he laughed as Gabriel blurted out. "Can we see a ROCK concert?"

[Hana Tachiban]

“Of COURSE we can go see a rock concert. There’s a little venue a few blocks from my house that always has shows. We can see if there’s anybody playing tonight. I think, if we do that, then we have to dress the part of cool kids on the rock scene.” Hana held her hand out to take Gabriel’s violin case, much similar to a parent taking their child's bookbag after school. "What do you think about that?"

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael composed himself watching as proper little Gabriel looked up at Hana in utter awe. "Yes, that sounds like fun, please Miss Hana i would love to!"he exclaimed, ever-polite. He did pause to look back at his father and ran to give him a hug"Ill be good i promise!" Raphael smirked. "Of course you will, and do go glam rock will you?" just then who but Farouche toddled in, because, like Bear, he hit up bars.He wasnt the Farouche Hana knew centuries ago but one of many Farouches Raphael had owned, he still barked a bonjour! to the group regardless as he sat at gab's feet..
