THE FUNERAL
Subject: Lord John Wexley IV's memorial.
Where: The Wexley family home.
Who: Daphne Wexley
Warnings: N/A
Open to: everyone who would have attended the funeral.

"...Lord John Oliver Wexley IV was buried today, but his spirit will live on in the rest of us... Amen.." finished the priest as he crossed the grave and then there was silence for a few moments. The first noise came from Lady Wexley, letting out a bellow of sobs that was obviously for show but no one would dare confront her about it. Daphne stood in between her brother, Johnny, and Daniel Perkins, trying her best to hold in any emotions that were fighting their way to the surface. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no noise, simply stared straight ahead and made eye contact with no one.

The party moved to the Wexley's family home where the guests were able to meet, discuss, and remember the passing of a very important man. Refreshments had been set up next to a rather large painting of John Wexley IV. Plenty of chairs and sofa's and places for people to sit and converse. Though, the object of the after party was to uplift the deceased and speak about him, but like any other party, everyone had their own objectives as to being there.

Daphne stood at the picture of her father, holding the glass of wine that Daniel had given her, not moving. She didn't to move, show emotion, talk, eat or drink. Knowing, though, that her mother was pretending to be completely beside herself, it was up to Daphne to be the hostess. Thank God for Johnny, though. He took up most of the duties himself.

This was one of those times where she did not care for the patient side of her personality, but she let it go. If Demetri said he would tell her later, then she believed him and would be content with that.

"You are staying for a while though, are you not?" she was sure she would be upset should he turn around and leave again, but he knew that. He had been the one to comfort her when Christopher up and left them.

	She hated to wait, he could see that. But it was a necessary evil at this point. But he wouldn't tell her he'd tell her and not do it. It just needed a bit of privacy. "I will stay of course Livy. I meant to come sooner but things kept me away and it couldn't be helped. But for now, yes of course I'll stay a while." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She turned inwards and wrapped her arms around his waist, giving him an affectionate hug. Christopher had been right about her, Olivia was very cuddly. "I am so very happy to hear it." there was a smile there, but she hid it against his chest, knowing such expressions were inappropriate for what they were attending at present.

	Demetri gave her a faint smile and hugged her tightly. It had been far too long since he'd gotten a proper hug from Olivia and he did miss it. "Good, I'm glad too. Once we get home, you'll have to catch me up on everything that's been going on," he said softly, not wanting to be too exuberant in such surroundings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I shall just have to get Luc to show you his latest drawings. Oh he is getting better all the time, truly he is so very talented." she admired Lucas his artistic talents, she had even tried to mimic him, but one mistake would show up and she would quit. "We should find the others." she pulled away a little and took his hand in hers, squeezing lightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demetri smiled. "He said in a few letters that he'd really been working on the drawings. I can't wait to see them." He liked art but unlike his younger siblings, didn't have the artistic gift they had. Even Olivia who frustrated easily at non-perfection. He nodded and clasped her hand. "Yes let's go find them," he replied with a smile. (Reply to this) (Parent)
