[ this is starting to sound more and more unpleasant, and lumine wants nothing but to leave here as quickly as she can. she regrets the day aether agreed to do business with this family.
she wordlessly follows after ajax through the house, her heels clicking against the marble floors. a house this big, she wonders if all of his siblings live in this place. or did they escape too, like anatoli did in snezhnaya? ... she would too, if she were made to live here. but that's not really something to dwell on, not when ajax leads her to a room at the back and lets her inside.
lumine keeps her expression eager as the volkov patriarch greets her, giving him an equally curt nod before taking a seat on ajax's other side. surely, he doesn't mind her using him as a shield in this situation, right? ]
I'm very sorry my brother couldn't come. If we had a bit more time, I'm sure he would've been glad to join us.
[ and maybe, keep her out of this, too. that's always been what aether's goal is, even when he took up ajax's request: to keep her out of his dirty dealings. ]
