Darius~*approaches Mel , places a fatherly hand on her shoulder and says gently * Mel we need to talk
Mel~*sits down in the large red armchair at Darius’s suggestion , holds the black cat protectively in her arms *
Darius~*sighs softly and then asks gently * Mel is there anything you should tell me ?
Mel~*shakes her head after a moment , remembering her promise and says quietly * no
Darius~*sighs once more , but continues to speak gently * if there is ever anything you need to tell me , I am here for you.
Mel~*nods but doesn’t say anything , just strokes the cat , not looking at Darius*
Darius~*watches her with concern , he can sense something is going on , but he doesn’t voice his suspicions, instead he changes the subject * also , I know Darkus has gone to speak with Wanda about you visiting , if you are allowed then I will permit it , as long as you take one of my carriages
Mel~*nods and says softly * yes sir , I will
Darius~*speaks gently * I think of you as my daughter Mel , I just want you to be safe .
Mel~*says softly * Thank you Darius
