The vampire sighed. "If you must, you can come along. But Astien must come with me. This isn't about his child, though I cannot deny it's a cause for worry. This is about him getting the help he needs."
Astien's eyes were red. He didn't know what was real anymore. This was all a dream, it had to be. All of it, even his pregnancy. Soon he would wake up, he'd be back at the academy, his stomach would be flat, and he'd be told to go and conduct research somewhere. Everything had to be a dream.
I'Karis sat on the grass next to Cormac. "If you want to be with him, then why not just go ask if you can come along?" He put his arm around Cormac's shoulders. "Everything's terrible for everyone, kid. You know what Astien's going through, you've been in that dark place. But you're not there anymore. He is. Fumbling around in the dark, just looking for something, anything at all. You know how hard it is to pull yourself out of that place. Someone's going to have to pull him out of that darkness, and that's who he's going to stay with. I'm not going to lie to you. Siran? He has a mind like a maze. Maybe he was to help Astien, maybe he plans to keep him under house arrest in that manor of his. Who knows. But you're going to be a part of that or you aren't."
I'Karis looked up at the moon. "Lady Faye is an odd one. Her ideas for us don't really seem to make sense. Sometimes it feels like we're just fate's playthings. But while we all are going down different roads, they're also all the same. We can choose to, or not to do something." He stood up. "I'm choosing now to go and find someone who might be able to help. What are you going to do?"

I'm just here for a laugh
