The Sire of my Sire. (Yves. Raphael. Open.)

[Marista D'Sanguinatus]

Marista drives toward her home. "You still play wonderfully Yves." She says brushing her hair out of her face as she drives. "Have you seen Sky lately?" She asks as they pull up to the glass building that held her home underneath it.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael was in his office. Yes the man actually did do work. He served as the company psychologist for brightblood, analyzing their enemies and their employees and helping to gather information for the company. So he was lounging on his fainting couch with Farouche reading a report. "Oh this is so cliche. Is this what really tore apart a brightblood camp?" he murmured to himself. Farouche barked and snorted in reply.

[Yves Arcenaux]

Yves smiles and looks over at Marista as she commented on his playing "I have had nothing but my music to keep me company for many a century. It is my bread and butter so to speak. If I do not play well then I go hungry and some poor soul may suffer from my need to feed" he looks at the window for a moment before answering her question "No sadly I have not. My wandering has taken me all over this land but I have not seen the Lady Sky." he glances at the building as they pulled up to it "Goodness, what a place"

[Marista D'Sanguinatus]

Marista smiles and walks closer to the door, "Yeah... I hear she now actively rules the vampires instead of passively." As she opens the door someone tugs on Yves' shirt. He would see the smiling face of tiny Melody, Raphael's sire. Marista looks at Melody and sighs, "Get inside before the sun comes up. What are you doing out here Mel?" Melody points at Yves. She takes both Melody and Yves to Raphael's office, "You have 2 visitors."

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael looked up from the report and Farouche lept off the couch to greet their guests. Raphael slid off the couch and drew closer with long strides across his office. "Mon ange who is it? I was doing work like a good boy, psychotic breaks in days, its been a good stretch of...what is Melody doing here? I should never have let her sleep over ill never be rid..of.." Raphael finally noticed his other guest, a man he hadn't seen in ages, standing there in the doorway to his office. Yves, while not a Malkavian had been his teacher when he was still mortal and his mentor for years until his vanishings over time shook Raphael and aggravated his madness.After that alls he did was try to leave loved ones to avoid destroying them, but, they always found their way back to him. "Yves Arceneaux, is that really you??Where have you BEEN??"

[Yves Arcenaux]

Yves had been ready for something much more hostile from the man who seemed to have had nothing but angst for him for leaving him alone all those centuries ago. But it seemed that Raph was actually pleasantly surprised to see him. And the fact that Melody was here as well was a rather welcome sight. It felt like a homecoming with all the people he had held so dearly all in one place. It made the man smile, and it had been a long time since he had given a earnest, genuine smile as he did right now. "Yes Raphael, c'est moi. It is good to see you again old friend. Times have been good for you it seems"

[Marista D'Sanguinatus]

Melody hugs Yves' legs then looks up at Raphael with tears in her eyes, "Why do you hate me so much?" She asks her voice shaking.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael seemed elated and yanked both Marista and Yves into a big hug. "Oh we must wear cravats together and play violin and speak of old times, so so much!" he exclaimed. Then he looked down at Melody and scowled. "Because you didnt like Marista because you drive me mad and because youre lucky to exist with teh taboos against child vampires, thats why!"

[Yves Arcenaux]

Yves embraces his old friend with a chuckle as he talks about reminiscing of old times "yes that does sound like a fine idea" he smiles, though it fades slightly as he starts belittling the child vampire and picks her up "She may be taboo but she is still a person and deserves to be treated as such" he comments softly before hugging Melody "It is good to see you well. Perhaps you could accompany me on my travels some time. Though I don't know how much you would like always moving from one town to the next" he then turns back to Raph, deciding to turn the man away from Melody for the moment "It seems you have been doing well for yourself Raphael. What is it that you do here?"

[Marista D'Sanguinatus]

Marista hugs her lover and her ex-lover. This was awkward for her. She wasn't sure how to deal. Melody nuzzles into Yves smiling again since she felt wanted.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael rolled his eyes. "shes tormented Marista and I, but i suppose it is good that you are around, it is helping her to behave. Ah but I digress. it is wonderful seeing you again. I feel like i can look back at my past and all the crazy things ive seen and done and find the little fragments of good memories buried in there. But why Yves, mon ami, i want to now now while im this lucid..why did you keep leaving?"

[Yves Arcenaux]

Yves hugs the child in his arms once more, glad to help put her at ease then looks back to Raph as he was speaking. "Why? Because i was watching over some of my family members. I do tend to lose track of time when I watch the children's grandchildren are growing up. Sadly I must remain hidden, they do not know what I became when the raiders destroyed my home. I feel it would be a terrible shock for them"

[Marista D'Sanguinatus]

Melody nips at Yves her eyes half closed. The tiny vapor was obviously exhausted. Mari whispers to Yves, "If she gets heavy Gabe's room is right across the way."

Marista laughs, "Raphael is a psychiatrist now."

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael nodded. "So i must be one of the only ones whos turned then oui?"He looked around his office and smirked. "Cest la vie I suppose. Well its good to see you now, i have you back, Marista back and im on my own two feet. I embrace what i am, Marista is my childe and Melody, well im glad shes bloody behaving."

[Yves Arcenaux]

Yves chuckles softly and looks to Marista "I think I'll be okay for now. But thanks for the heads up" then to Raph "So what brought on this style of life? Do you find enjoyment in helping people with their behavior problems? It must be a truly interesting field of study for you" he shifts Melody a little bit so that his arm was suited under her rear, allowing him to cradle the weight a little better. "Do you still play?" he motions to the violin case at his own feet
