Secret meeting [for Caspian and Alex if he can join in]

[aeon_flux69]

She had to move through the halls, keeping close to the shadows, watching every corner. This was a risk she was taking. But it was one her heart had to make. She was barefoot as to not make one single noise. She smoothed her hand along the walls, elegant and grand. Aleksandr's other family had done well. But they were much to cold for her liking.

Caspian slips into Alex's old room, and looks about for Aeon. He's let the jovial mask he's worn all day, slip, and his weariness shows. As does his longing to see her.

"Onushka?" he whispers.

Slightly clouded explanations for their three companions and two different routes to reach the same spot are involved. Stepping carefully is of primary concern since their deep in the family's part of the manor house... but at least that's well away from anywhere Goodchild will be allowed to venture. Alex slips in a few minutes behind Evan, holding back at the doorway to give Vanya a moment with Aeon.

Aeon had made herself at home upon Aleksandr's bed. Burying herself deep in the blankets and coverings, the pillows piled around her. They covered her well so when the door opened, she froze and listened. Soon she heard Caspian's voice and she popped her head up. She had heard her given name from him and she answered with his, "Vanechka?" She crawled to the end of the bed, getting upon her knees to fully see him.

Her eyes watered, her hands shook as she extended them out to him, eager to touch and hold him to tightly to her.

Caspian flies across the room and gathers Aeon in his arms, holding her close, squeezing her tight. "Oh gods, oh by the gods above and below, it is good to see you."
