Damien looked at the woman and smiled slightly. Good woman, she was. "Van... what about Gem and the baby?" he asked quietly. Had he even told Van about the baby. It would be here sooner rather than later and truth be told he was a bit concerned.
"I can't protect them when I am not there... Although my place and her shop have been given every manner of protection I could think of, and we know that's saying something. I just wonder if there is somewhere you could think of that would be better suited for her while this... coup d'état is happening. I would never forgive myself if my own actions hurt her in any way," he continued. Yeah. He wouldn't be able to send her along to Hogwarts like Cadewyn could... but he would think of something.
"I have felt for a while now that it's only a matter of time before they try to start messing around with me," he said and gave Evander a look. A look that said we KNOW I try to step on their toes when I can. "But messing with me is one thing. Messing with those that I love..." he trailed off. Yes, that included Lovely Lily. He would snap that Gevrik's neck if he got half a chance. |
