A diplomat by breeding, Laurent Nakado was made to be elegant with a hint of obvious power. However, the words 'Dad' and 'crossbow' just sent his knees quivering, and not in any sort of a good way. Reluctantly, he allowed Jasper to drag him off towards this unknown male, all the while being unusually quiet and reserved. When they finally arrived there, Laurent sighed softly, pushing his dark brown hair out of his eyes. "Just promise me, that if I end up dying, you'll at least find someone better than me as a replacement.." He murmured, attempting humor. table by Akumu - Jasper de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html]
- Ahren de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html] THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED ______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED ______________THAT I'VE DROPPED _____ For the past several hours, Ahren had been busying himself with the leatherworking. He was in the process of making a smaller bag for himself, and had just cut the leather into its appropriate sizes. A cigarette was in his mouth, being smoked now and again as he strung the waxed thread and began stitching. It was at that point Jasper’s voice came from nearby, causing him to look up. A chunk of hair tumbled into his face, over his left eye, but he barely noticed. Taking the cigarette in his left hand, he called out. “Yeah?” I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget [/html] - Jasper de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html]
- Laurent Nakado - 06-17-2008 [html] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/ ... re/lat.png); background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> He silently followed, attempting to make some sort of sense of the turmoil in his heart. He was probably a good foot taller than the other male, if Jasper was any indication, and if the past repeated itself. Damian, Ahren's father, had dealt with Mercido, Laurent's brother, oh so long ago. Laurent knew nothing of this though, and had no reference for the sight about to behold him. The male was working leather, a trait common to Laurent's birth tribe. Laurent gazed at the male almost blankly for a second or two until his head kicked back in and gave Jasper's hand a squeeze before he slowly pulled away, intent on at least meeting him like a man, and not a scared puppy. He extended his hand, hoping the male wouldn't mind stopping his project to shake it. "Laurent Nakado, Sir." He gave his full name, not knowing if it made any difference, but at least it made him feel better. table by Akumu - Ahren de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html] THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED ______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED ______________THAT I'VE DROPPED _____ The formality of the situation was peculiar to Ahren, who had seen it only as an alpha (however rarely) and in Europe. He put the bag down and stood, casting his son a curious glance before turning his attention to the much larger and darkly-hued stranger. “Ahren de le Poer,” he offered, taking the hand in a firm grip and giving it a good shake. He released quickly, took a drag on the cigarette, and looked back to Jasper. Something was afoot—that much he knew.

However, he found damned near everything Jasper did adorable, and so all he could muster was a grin as he gazed at the smaller male. Turning his eyes back to Ahren, he gave a far more serious statement, but it was said with honesty and passion. "I think what he wants you to know is that I love your son."And now, he waited for what was probably a soon-to-come death. table by Akumu - Ahren de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html] THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED ______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED ______________THAT I'VE DROPPED _____ Jasper spoke, and he caught the slip-up, but did not have the time to register it fully. Then Laurent turned to him, and something in his eyes told Ahren everything he needed to know before those words came to his ears. Ahren, for a long time, remained quiet. Then he shut his eyes, took a drag on the cigarette, and exhaled heavily. Of course, it should come to this. “Do you love him, Jasper?” I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget [/html] - Jasper de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html]
- Laurent Nakado - 06-17-2008 [html] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/ ... re/lat.png); background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Jasper was doing everything Laurent wanted to do. Laurent was definitely afraid of Ahren, because if Ahren didn't approve, there was probably no way that he could continue to see Jasper. His eyes softened slightly from the fear-induced dilation as he watched Jasper, concerned for the smaller boy. Was it okay if he went to comfort him? Should he remain planted in his spot, and wait for Ahren to do something? Finally Laurent could bare it no more and returned to Jasper's side, his fingers gently brushing against Jaspers creamy fur. "We just thought it was important that I met you.....and I guess....saw what you thought?" His eyes attempted to meet Jasper's, seeing if this was the best way to put things, or if he was completely off his rocker. Either way, it was completely likely that he was. table by Akumu - Ahren de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html] THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED ______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED ______________THAT I'VE DROPPED _____ Ahren’s eyes opened, dark with a second shadow, but there was no malice. Had his son answered anything less, he would have turned on the chocolate male without a thought. The battle he was living was constant, and he had no alternatives—he had to protect Jasper now, before anything else happened. Gabriel was a warrior, and able to protect his clan and himself. Jasper was not. It did give him a small amount of pleasure to see how protective of the boy Laurent was, and he managed a half-smile. “I have no quarrel with it,” he said, flicking ash from the cigarette. “As long as you both stand on equal ground.” There was a soft, unspoken warning about the others, but Ahren made no open signs of such. “You should have warned me, kid,” he said, giving his son a glance. “We could have at least made dinner plans.” I won't lie no more you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget [/html] - Jasper de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html]
- Laurent Nakado - 06-17-2008 [html] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/ ... re/lat.png); background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> As soon as Jasper relaxed, Laurent felt safe enough to do the same. Smiling at the boy, he turned his gaze towards Ahren, prepared to take orders for this meal. "Is there anything we need to get for it?" He asked gently, completely unsure of what stew was. But, as eager as Jasper was for it, Laurent wasn't about to say a simple steak would be fine. table by Akumu - Ahren de le Poer - 06-17-2008 [html] THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOVED ______THE THINGS THAT I'VE LOST THE THINGS I'VE HELD SACRED ______________THAT I'VE DROPPED _____ The demeanor of his son caused Ahren to smile again, amused in spite of himself. At the older boy’s question, he spared him a glance. “Jasper should remember. We’ll also need meat, but I think I can handle that.” He moved away at that point, grabbing the nearby crossbow. This he checked with the patience of an experienced bowman. As he pulled the leather contraption that carried this and the quiver, he wondered vaguely if he would have reacted this way before the night with Laruku.

- Laurent Nakado - 06-18-2008 [html] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/ ... re/lat.png); background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> He didn't need to be told twice where things were. He had heard the water, and as Jasper set out to gather supplies Laurent was content to collect the water for his boy. Grinning sheepishly as he retrieved the supplies, his adoring eyes turned to Jasper's face - "And what now?" Curiously, he watched, hoping to gleam some information out of the moment, because the way things were going right now, he was clueless, and he hated it. table by Akumu |
