~oh he means it. Soft hearted child that he is~ Gargou said eyeing her still ~exploring is good. Anywhere you aren't allowed will be locked~ he smirked as if to some sort of internal joke was made ~does Lucien know you're out and about?~ he said with an odd smile

~No. I do not know where he is.~ Andrea stated. ~To be honest, I really do not know where I am going. Some things remind me of home, others are so foreign to me as they were not like where I lived with my old master.~ She stated, warming herself up with her own fire. When he smiled towards her, she was a bit nervous, not having been around any of her own kind in many years.

~Gargou~ Lucien said coming up behind Andrea ~please stop creeping out our guest~
Gargou laughed and got up chuckling as he walking away
~forgive him... As well as being very old, Gargou likes to experiment, he can be a little out of touch with how to properly communicate with people. He looks at everyone like someone to examine and experiment with~ Lucien looked at her "you are free to explore. Or if you like i can give you a tour"

Andrea looked towards Lucien briefly then at the old man as he walked away. When she looked back towards Lucien she spoke. "Tour....please." Her words portrayed her nervousness to speak to him, especially considering if she was really free she was indebted to him for the amount of money he spent to free her from slavery.

Lucien nodded, brushing his hand through his hair trying to figure out where a good starting point was. Once he had decide he started giving her the tour of the large house, trying not to overwhelm her as best he could
"Is your room adequate?"he asked as they walked, knowing she was going to say they were since she was coming from slavery but he was not sure what to say to her. He had heard about a Phoenix in the slave market which was why he had gone at all but he had planned nothing beyond buying her out of slavery and had no idea what to say to her at this point

Andrea looked towards him. "It remind me of home. Family was nobility at one time. Before fire." She told him. "Thank you." She looked down slightly. "Why help me? You do not know me." She was taking her time with words to make sure she said them correctly, still finding English a bit difficult since she did not speak it enough.

Lucien thought on the question for a minute "Our people, those of us that are left, have it hard in this time. I was fortunate. I was taken in by a wealthy family that loved me as their own and raised me here, away from persecution. They were good people. I like to imagine that they would have done what I just did. How could I see someone of my kind like that and leave them to suffer when I am able to help? If I was lucky enough to get this place, how could I not follow in the footsteps of my parents and save someone myself" he smiled slightly "in other words, I did it for me. To make myself feel more like I deserved the kindness my adoptive parents showed me"

Andrea nodded once as she looked away from him and at what surrounded her. She blinked a few times before continuing to follow him silently. It wasn't exactly what she expected but she also wasn't shocked by the reason he stated. Andrea looked down at her hands that rested in front of her as they walked, thinking about her friend and how he would have loved the place. She wasn't sure what had happened to him, but had assumed he had died in the fire that took her parents.

"Hey Lucien"another new women walked over, her hair long and red showing her shared nature with them "someone is here. I can give her the tour"
Lucien frowned and nodded before bowing his head to her and leaving to deal with the visitor
The woman looked at Andrea "I'm Becci .I can show you the rest of the house and answer any questions you have. About the house and the people" she smirked ~i can also still speak our language if it's easier~

Andrea looked at the new woman, a bit nervous. ~Andrea.~. She said softly, introducing herself. She was thankful to speak in the Phoenix dialect as it was easier for her to do so.

Becci smiled ~I'm sure he's given you his usual 'I'm not a good guy i saved you for selfish reasons' speech~ she said as they walked ~Don't listen to him. He's just nice but doesn;t want to take credit for things so he pretends he's self-serving~ she looked around ~Gargou and I are the only phoenixes here, other than yourself and Lucien. Gargou actually just wandered in, said something about a way of finding others that brought him here but i don't really know. And them my situation was similar to yours. Except my owners were owners of a brothel~ she said ~He looked so uncomfortable there in the brothel when he came to buy me from them. Totally out of his comfort, quite amusing actually~

Andrea nodded, though was still a bit hesitant around the others. She was cautious of all the nice communication and welcome attitude from everyone, honestly finding Lucien's attitude a bit more common, as she was more used to the selfish standoff attitudes and being told what to do. Andrea glanced around at where they were, drawing the heat she was radiating into herself to keep herself comforted. Even though she had used fire to heal certain injuries, her ankles were scarred as were her wrists from the shackles she had worn for so long. She kept her feet bare, preferring the feel of the ground beneath her feet, that and she had never been given a decent pair of shoes unless the previous master was entertaining guests and required her to wear them. ~How long were you there?~ She asked.

~Five years~ she said easily, showing her the library now ~I've been here for two now. If you stay Lucien will insist on teaching your to speak english properly and the right mannerisms. Just so you can blend in in the human society if need be. He's afraid if something happened to him we'd all be vulnerable~ she looked over at Andrea ~How long were you captive?~ she asked, wondering. The main fall of the race had not seen them all displaced, Even after the major battle was lost there were more small ones with the last remnants of their people so she knew there was a fair amount of time that she could have been imprisoned or still free. Lucien had lived with the Andrews for 12 years at this point whereas she herself had only lost her home and family about 8 years ago

~Fifteen years I believe. I was six at the time.~ She said softly. ~We lived in one of the larger kingdoms, my family, my bestfriend, and me.~ she stated, looking down as she shivered slightly. "He lured me to false sense for first year." She stated, looking towards Becci. "Made me think he not responsible for killing family. Found out two years after I turned thirteen that he ordered attack. Was wanting more then just me. Wanted all young ones, but only managed me. Not sure what happened to Lune." She stated, using her bestfriends nickname, mainly because she didn't feel safe enough with any of them to give them her friends real name.

Becci nodded sadly "I think we all saw ourselves losing people in those times.And yet here we stand" she sighed a little and looked around "Gargou is going to want to examine you, make you wigs and those weird eye things that Lucien uses when he goes out" she wrinkled her nose a little "Plus he likes to test our abilities, see what skill level we're at. Lots of poking and prodding, which is why Lucien wants him to leave you alone right now. Doesn't want you to think you have to do it, would rather you get comfortable with being free and then you can just tell Gargou to shove it if you don't want him doing it"
