Connie couldn't help giggling the more Chiyu got annoyed. It was like watching a cute kitten snap at a lion. The lion could win quite easily but perhaps the lion would be gentle for the evening at the very least. "No offense taken, my dear," he purred in Chiyu's ear, nibbling her earlobe lightly in the hope of lightening up her mood. As if he would get offended by being called crazy? Hardly.
He didn't desire or require Julian's approval on his choice but it was what it was. Hopefully, it would get the younger Kindred to give the poor girl a chance to breathe. But he saw a shadow approaching the doorway long before Cian actually got there. And then he was there looking like the cat that ate the canary. "It makes you one of the damned trees in the Tulgey wood," he noted with amusement.
"This is Cian," he told Chiyu with a broad, toothy grin. It was then that he realized this was starting to look like the intro to a porno. Three men, one tiny woman. Oh, dear. "Cian, this is Chiyu. She'll be staying with us." He realized then he needed to note, "One of her duties, as she and I have discussed, will be helping to take care of the house. I've told her your rooms are off-limits."
