What is next for our favorite characters now that the timeline has been restored to where it always should have been? Settle in for the next lot of ups and downs for our favorite team.
With the little of my energy remaining, I still managed to teleport myself and Alberta to St Basils. The rest of my group had already arrived, not wanting to stay any longer at the transit house than they had to. From what they told me of it, I could understand why. Perhaps I'll improve those too. It can't be easy to get any sort of rest or sleep with such an open plan and no real space. Already there were a million different possibilities that came to mind, each with privacy built in and the ability to block out all sound and light with temperature control and individual televisions with blue-tooth connectivity to stream to small and discretely placed speakers to ensure the best volume level without encroaching on anyone elses enjoyment (should the soundproofing not be switched on). But of all the possibilities, one stood above the rest.

Barely had I arrived and already Dimitri is grovelling, asking me to forgive him. How can I though, when I can sense that he is still denying what he knows to be true? I don't have the energy to argue though and simply nodded. Needing the distraction and not wanting to think about how badly I need to feed, because I do not want to feed from the man I love while he is still doubting me and cannot feed from any other, I threw myself into the task at hand.
As promised, my father had much of his guarding staff from his European houses transferred to the school. Having not been told why they were there, some were just as vocal as I'd been expecting, complaining about being here instead of the comforts they must be enjoying at my father's houses. I imagine it will be a common problem. Given he staffs each of his many locations while having a select and trusted few that he uses more regularly, the majority of his guardians have probably done very little to keep up their own fitness levels. Highly probable, they felt it would be unlikely that they'd need to fight within the safe confines of his warded properties. Requesting my father not to make our connection known just yet, or the various relationships with those of my friends, I was determined to earn their respect on my own. Baba does not need to instil fear for me simply by voicing our connection; I plan to do that myself. I love the man, but he needs to know I can be just as feared or respected as he can, though I think he does know that and simply enjoys that it adds to his reputation too. He has seen firsthand that no one messes with me or my loved ones.
