Vex looked at the man and followed them inside. He looked at Reo and touched her cheeks gently. "Are you okay?" he whispered to her, looking at hte man suspiciously. He didnt like the man's aura.

She flinched away from his hand, giving him a quick shake of her head, showing him that he wasn't supposed to touch her right now. Crane sat on one of the couches, his arms hanging over the back of the couch and one of his legs crossed over the other. He was watching the both of them with his dark purple eyes, his shaggy but silkly peppered hair shining from the suns rays and the flickering light of the fire place. "Reo, i've got some upsetting news for you." He said once she and Vex had taken their seats, he stared at her. The woman looked up at him, sitting straight, hands folded in her lap like they should be. "What is it, dad?" She asked him hesitantly, she was curious as to why he'd tell her something important in front of Vex. "Well...," Crane trailed off, looking thoughtful, "your aunt has passed away. Aunt Elvira. Her funeral is being held in Paris in two weeks. You will be attending with your mother and I." He told her, leaving no room for arguement. Reo sucked in a breath and nodded her head quickly, not speaking at all. He stood and straightened himself out, patting down his clothing and then looking over at Vex, he snorted at the mans appearance and then looked at his daughter again. "We'll meet at the airport, i've got a schedule in this letter, and your tickets are in there to. If this man is your object of affection bring him too. You'll need someone there with you." Crane said simply and threw an envelope onto the table. "I must leave you now, i've got things to do." He said, tone final and then turned on his heel and stalked out of the cottage, shutting the door with a resounding bang, leaving Reo and Vex in silence.

Vex was silent for a few long moments before sticking his tongue out at the door. "That was your dad? God, he seems like such a prick- didn't they abandon you? Leave you alone? Why would they share a funeral with you now? Was this aunt close to you?" he asked, angered with her father.

Reo looked over at Vex, giving him a blank look. "Yeah, she was close to me. And they don't want to share the funeral with me he only told me to go because i'm probably in my aunts will, and my grandparents most likely forced them to invite me." She told him and closed her eyes, she could feel the lump growing in her throat again. "Sorry you had to meet him." Reo apologized quietly and brought her hands up over her face, hiding from him, she was upset and wanted to cry, but she was trying hard to force these feelings away.
((I'm going to reply once or twice more and then I have to go to bed.))

Vex frowned sadly and moved towards her. He pulled her into a hug, whether she wanted one or not. "I'll go with you if you want- my boss will let me, and..." he drifted off. "I don't like your dad. And I don't want to leave you alone with him anywhere..." He kissed her head, nuzzling it. "You can cry if you want," he whispered.

She made a move to pull away but stopped and instead tucked her head under his chin and loosely wrapped her arms around him. "You can come with me..." Reo replied, her breathing a little heavier than normal. She was crying, but not sobbing or making any sounds, and her body wasn't shaking, intead she was relaxed, and silent, slow tears were running down her cheeks. Reo had taught herself to cry like that so that she wouldn't grab attention, and so she wouldn't seem like a drama queen if anyone was watching her. "I love him, even though he's a prick, and an asshole..." She told Vex honestly and then exhaling heavily.

Vex held her tighter as she cried, massaging her back gently. He kissed her head gently as she told him the truth about her dad. "Can I still call him names?" he asked, trying to make her feel better.

"Call him whatever you want." Reo replied, voice slightly amused, her tears stopped, and she brought one of her hands up, wiping the wet away. "Sorry about that." She apologized for her slight emotional breakdown. She leaned back and looked into his eyes, "And thanks for caring about me."

Vex wiped away any tears she had left, cupping her cheeks and smiling softly. "You can cry any time you need to around me," he murmured to her and held her face gently in his hands. He looked into her eyes, his searching for something. "You're so beautiful."

Her eyes were still quite sad, but behind the sadness was a deep affection for Vex. "So can you." Reo joked back at him, giving him half a smile and moving herself closer to him, enjoying this little embrace.

He held her tenderly when she was moving into him a bit more. He rested his head firmly but gently against hers and closed his eyes, inhaling her wonderful scent. "I'm sorry about your aunt."

She studied his face silently for a while and kissed one of his cheeks then the other. "It's alright, she lived a full life..." Reo replied and closed her eyes too, feeling totally relaxed. "Honestly we only saw each other a couple of times, but we really got along well with one another, and we wrote mail to each other sometimes..." She told him randomly, feeling comfortable enough to tell him this.

Vex stroked her back, listening to her every word. "Am I coming to the funeral?" he asked softly, wanting to be there for her entirely.

"If you feel like flying all of the way to Paris with me and then staying for probably a week or two then you can come." Reo replied softly, it was his decision, she wouldn't force him to go with her. "If you come then we'll probably either be in a hotel or at aunt Elvira's old place."

"I'm good with whatever you want- I've only been to Paris once..." He mumbled.
