Little things sometimes slipped your head. If it happened once, then you\'d find that people were ready to forgive you, but if it happened twice then only some people were willing… but for things to turn to thrice the incident?

Well, that was maybe unforgivable.

But it wasn\'t like Lukas had intended for things to be a certain way.

To even see it as a fault of his was just insane.

Lukas couldn\'t be at multiple places in one time, and he did say that he wanted to find Theodore, Stacy and Alexei first before returning to the Atticus home.

Except the only problem was that these people weren\'t at the meeting spot.

Maybe Lukas should have headed back and discussed it with Chaerin first.

Maybe Lukas shouldn\'t have instantly decided that he needed to find the young Aurelius Lord all on his own without informing Chaerin… since that did take a lot of time.

And when the thought finally did occur to Lukas, mid-way to the House of Carmillas… well, it wasn\'t like he couldn\'t ask the car to be stopped or for it to head to the Atticus.

"Hey, you don\'t think we can turn around and make a quick fetching of my girlfriend?" Lukas glanced at the young Aurelius Lord.

Elias gave him a side glance. "No."

"Why not?" Lukas asked.

"First of all, we don\'t want to waste my grandfather\'s time and second of all, I do not see why I should be willing to assist you." Elias said, hands on the steering wheel. "If you\'d like, I can stop this car momentarily and you are free to go down and search for your girlfriend."

"That\'s…" Lukas paused. The thought crossed his head and it didn\'t seem like a bad thing. He\'d need to find a way back to the Carmilla House, but at least the two siblings and Theodore were okay.

Chaerin was more important at this moment.

"Okay." Lukas decided. "You can stop. I\'m leaving for now."

"Alright." Elias nodded slowly, although he furrowed his brows. "Are you quite sure with that decision?"

"What the—why wouldn\'t I be?" Lukas said with a hand on the door already. He could have probably jumped too if he wanted to, but Elias talking to him out of his own volition was strange too.

"Of course, there\'s sentiment and attachment involved… but this matter with the Vardokens and even with my grandfather, one of the Overlords of Nyx should take precedence all over that. You could miss something monumental and yet you\'d drop all of that for another person?"

Lukas stared at Elias and couldn\'t help but grin. He knew that this guy was kind of like a \'rival\' to him and Serena, but somehow, Lukas just wanted to chuckle and pat the guy in the head.

"Yeah, duh. You\'d do stuff that doesn\'t make sense for someone you care about."

Elias stopped the car and Lukas left and immediately went for the closest building to travel up again with.

"What\'s he doing?" Leonardo rolled down the privacy window of the backseat and looked at Elias. "Did you make him leave, Von? I told you that I was willing to look past the things that he did tonight."

"That\'s not it, grandfather." Elias politely said as he eyed Lukas scale up a building until he was finally a dot in the car\'s mirror. "He said that he had another important matter to attend to. I could not stop him, even if I tried."

"Something more important than all of this and his friends too?" Leonardo raised a brow.

"A girl, grandfather." Elias said as he drove through the streets. "He\'s not some kind of philander that you seem to make him to be."

"Could be both." Leonardo said with a shrug. "But it\'s a pity that he has this as a weakness. I thought he could be someone fit for your side as an aide or assistant, perhaps mine, but he\'s more softer than I expected him to be."

Elias shook his head.

And though he respected his grandfather for all that he was and did for the city of Nyx, it didn\'t necessarily mean that they always looked eye to eye. There were actually some things that Elias felt like he had a better grasp on than his grandfather.

… Maybe that had always been the case.

While the Aurelius Overlord mostly kept to himself and made his social circles small, only the elite and powerful making it to his inner world… Elias had been more willing to meet other people and saw how they were.

"I can perhaps… respect him for it." Elias muttered.

He didn\'t think that he\'d be like Lukas, but the fact that he\'d be willing to drop everything else for one person alone took a certain level of will power and knowing one\'s priorities.

"What did you say?" Leonardo raised a brow.

"We\'re nearly there, grandfather."

Elsewhere, Lukas was back to leaping from one building into another. Luckily for him, this time there was no interruption from the Durand officers and he could mostly travel in peace.

Except for the people nagging him.

"It would have been great to have an ally who\'s powerful and influential and yet you dropped it all just to meet with your girlfriend?" Drusilla clicked her tongue. "You can replace your girlfriend any other time, that Vardoken girl isn\'t so bad and didn\'t get poisoned like your last one. But the connections you could have made were one in a lifetime. They don\'t knock twice."

"When did you ever get so involved in the people I deal with?" Lukas grunted as he slipped off the end of the building and caught himself by the ledge.

"Is now a really good time to be discussing all of this? While at a perilous drop?" Rhea swirled beside him. "I don\'t have the capacity to save you, even if I\'m here. Spirit remember?"

"No sooner than he\'d left his body, the faster you\'ll take it for yourself." Drusilla snorted.

"I wouldn\'t!" Rhea said, aghast.

"Yeah, she wouldn\'t want to get trapped in a body of prison." Lukas said, pulling himself from the ledge and then running for the next building again. It didn\'t take him too long to reach the Atticus home again, though this time, Lukas was panting a little.

He knocked on the door.
