"Yes."

He'd like to say it wasn't, that it was a learned trait, but his own stubbornness was proof enough. Stubborn and reckless just seemed to be plentiful.

"Well. Good to know Calla's not the only one with a penchant for poor choices."

Belladonna's reputation was an interesting one. She was known to take pity on kids but she was also ruthless. A damn butcher. Getting involved with one of her children seemed like asking for trouble.

"How was her being a Delaney lucky?"

"That a family trait?"

There was almost a trace of sarcasm in his tone but not quite, Phoenix having no genuine interest in knowing whether it was or not, beyond whether he should expect anyone else to come looking for him at some point.

"Belladonna," Phoenix answered, figuring if Robert was familiar enough with the Delaney's, as it sounded like he was, he'd know her at least by name, if not reputation.

"Truth be told, known Bells since a while before I met Amber. Was jus' lucky happenstance she turned out t'be one o' Bells's kids, I s'pose."

"I heard you might need a hug or whatever. Shoulder to cry on. Someone to ignore all the bullshit with? I'm here to provide."

"Dude, I brought you a cursed item once," he groaned. "ONCE. Am I never gonna live that down?"

He wasn't as frustrated as he sounded like, but it was mostly amusing to find the level of inconvenience he could cause by actually acting on his good intentions. His makers had created him to be a weapon, and sometimes it was hard to be anything but.

"I tell you, I have no way of knowing when something is cursed. My powers block that kind of shit-- And I can't even trace magic on my own or anything."

"He does act pretty cat like," Verv conceded, chuckling a little as he glanced down at the little dragon. He had never had a pet before so he was completely out of his element here and trying to learn on the fly.

At Wylie's suggestion, he shook his head. He didn't have experience in vet medicind, but he had listened to Britt talk enough to know that vaccines weren't going to be possible at this point in time.

"Vaccines are designed for the animals getting them. Dragon trade is pretty black market and most of them people aren't in it for the health of the dragons. I don't think they make a rabies vaccine for them, so stuff made for cats or dogs are more likely to make him sick."

"Maybe, but it looks to me like he also appreciates scritchies as much as he likes food and a warm place to sleep," Wylie noted, nodding toward the tiny creature practically burrowing into Verv's hand to get as much affection as he physically could. "I can handle a little competition if the little guy doesn't mind some of those cuddles coming from me sometimes too."

It as already at least obvious that Chalupa was highly food motivated when he was hungry, and he didn't seem to mind eating whatever he was given, but candy and takeout weren't exactly properly balanced in the nutrition department, so that was definitely something he agreed would need some research.

"Your sister's a vet, isn't she? She'd at least be able to make an educated guess about what to feed him and stuff, right? And I'm guessing even baby dragons benefit from getting whatever shots would protect them from getting sick."

" Hey don't judge me! Blame the werewolf side of me and being loyal! When we make friends, have romantic relationships or overall have good people around us, we're loyal to the very end. I'm thankful that part of me didn't die." Claire somewhat teased back to Nik, it wasn't until recently that she came to terms with her hybrid nature. She tried her best to not reflect to heavily on the fact that she did die in order to become what she is now; but overall, she was a lot happier.

"Oh, I have to tell you the latest and greatest! We got these two new cooks, vampires of course and they're honestly not that! I've come to find out, that the really old ones, just wanna lay low, avoid the drama and help people! So I am learning that not all vampires are predators just looking for a next meal."

The snow had started out light, small flakes spiraling to the cold ground but it had quickly picked up. Now, large and fluffy flakes were coming down heavily, the view from the shop's windows obscured, verging on white-out conditions. Byrne had meant to lock the door and flip the sign to closed but he had gotten distracted with tending to the fireplace, knowing that the older building wasn't the best at keeping out the chill, even with an updated heating system.

The chime of the bell had him turning, hands sliding into pockets as he took a few steps forward to get a better look at the other, unsure if they were a customer or just someone trying to get out of the quickly building blizzard.

"You uh, lookin' for a specific book?" It was the best way Byrne knew to gauge what he was in for as there was a code among his less pleasant clients centered around specific titles.

"Staring at me like that is creepy, just so you know." Dimitri settled his hands on his hips and folded his wings behind him. He'd been caught out in the open but knowing how warded this place was he wasn't exactly afraid of the person who caught him. "You one of Bells lost boys?"

"Like I've already told you quite a couple of times before," he started, tired blue eyes looking up at the taller man. "I had no way of knowing that ring was cursed, but it didn't worry me too much because my power blocks that kind of magic anyway..."

"Besides, the heirloom I bring today isn't cursed! I think."

[ofviolentdeath]

"Right now, you don't need to do anything about it. The only thing you need to worry about right now is decompressing and giving yourself a break. Because you deserve a break."

She knew it was going to be hard on him, but at least here he had a better support system. Not only that, but Bells was fairly certain that being close to one another again would be good for both of her brothers.

"Once you've had some time to rest, we'll regroup and figure out what you want and what you and your therapist feel you need and go from there, okay? The important thing to remember right now is that you are not alone. You're not alone and you can stay here for as long as you want or need."

Hearing his feelings validated did nothing to ease them in the moment, feeling a sharp emotional pain as Bells spoke.

It hurt terribly.

Nik felt betrayed and confused, his heart all but broken by the realization that what he had been told was for his own good was in fact to his detriment in the worst way, and it had left him wondering if, had things played out differently and his mother had never resorted to locking him and Finn away, would they both have healed from their prior trauma much sooner instead of now seeming to be back at square one.

"I don't know what to do about it," Nik confessed, feeling lost in the chaos and pain.

“This is the last time I help Dimitri with shit,” Izzy grumbled under his breath. Awkwardly standing around some place he’d never been before wasn’t high on his list of things to do but he’d lost his grandfather to what looked like a serious, or at least heavy, conversation.

"What business is it of yours if I did? You gonna tell on me?"

"Maybe I just want to watch what you do next. I like watching."

Knocking felt so strange. Maybe less so because of the family's usual open door policy and more so because this was the door to the house where his father lived. Dimitri had never knocked looking for him before. It felt even more strange not to. Knowing that beyond that door was a whole new life he knew nothing about made him feel compelled to wait just outside the threshold, to be invited in instead of barging through like he might normally do.

Looking up when the door cracked open, Dimitri cleared his throat. "I'm looking for my dad... I mean, is Hypnos awake?"
