Lucian had an afternoon appointment with a group of vampire businessmen but had made time to see his childe, Akihiko, and the two young vampires that he had sired. He was bent over a stack of reports that had been delivered earlier when he heard the knock that announced their arrival. The papers were placed neatly aside before the Primus rose from his desk and headed for the door.
The ancient vampire felt a special kinship with Akihiko and was interested to see the two he had chosen to take as his own childer. Upon opening the door, Lucian's brow rose in surprise at the group that stood before him. He had somehow expected something far different from the darkly sexy Akihiko.
Stepping back, he gave a flourish of his hand as invitation into his quarters, his gaze sweeping over his grand-childer with amusement and interest. The two were dressed as if for a school dance while their sire's attire hearkened to his days in Japan. Lucian preferred more casual clothing, wearing faded jeans and a plain white t-shirt.
As Akihiko entered, Lucian leaned to kiss the smaller vampire, honoring his childe by slicing his tongue upon one of his sharp fangs before deepening the kiss. once he withdrew from the greeting, Lucian's bottomless gaze again turned to the younger pair. "Tell me," he spoke to Akihiko without glancing his way, "What caused you to choose these two as your own?"
