Andrea smiled as she saw the place. She walked along slowly towards it, following after him as she ran her fingers along things, being careful not to harm the plants or herself. Andrea tilted her head slightly as she looked around at everything. ~It is safe here?~ She asked, reassuring that she was safe to be herself in that area.

Lucien nodded "That's what it's for. As long as you don't shoot flames above the walls you're good" he smiled. The walls were quite high so that you could even fly a little as long as you stayed lower "Actually" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a key "Here" he offered it to her "This key will get you into the house though that door, and out here as well" he said, motioning to the door to the house "It actually is in the downstairs hall of the South wing. if you go inside through it you should recognize where you are. It's one of the only locked doors in that wing"

~I...~ she hesitated as she reached out to take the key. ~Thank you.~ She said, a soft smile coming to her lips. Her fingers brushed his hand slightly as she took the key from him which caused her to pull her hand towards her chest as she held the key so she didn't drop it. She blinked a few times before lowering her hands as she looked around the area once more. "You were lucky child." She said softly. "Not many this lucky." She tilted her head slightly. "Happy to see that some do care." She was referring to the fact that his family had been human and had cared about him and who he was, still wanting him to be proud of who he was even though he had to hide it to survive.

He smiled and nodded "I know. I was very fortunate. They were good people, my human parents. They were against the attacks on our people from the start, they were even part of a movement trying to stop it, but unfortunately they weren't successful."

Andrea nodded slightly. She held her hand out, since they were in a safe spot, and two figures made out of fire appeared. They were that of children, one was her and one was her friend. She lowered her hand as the two figures remained, running around and playing tag, occasionally the girl would fall and the boy would help her up before continuing their play. Soon she reached up and brushed her hand through them causing them to disappear.

Lucien smiled sadly watching them play, seeming intrigued. Truth was he barely remembered anything before his time here. When the Andrews took him in he refused to speak his name so they gave him a new one. Eventually he forgot his old name, he forgot a lot of his childhood before this place, his parents thought maybe he had suppressed it all, he had, after all, arrived covered in blood and cuts, having clearly been through something awful, none of which he could remember

Andrea tilted her head slightly before looking towards him. "Why sad?" She asked, noticing the sadness in his eyes when she looked at him. Andrea blinked a few times before looking down and realizing what she had just asked. "Sorry, that was not right to ask."

"it's alright" he laughed lightly "just watching the flames reminded me about how little ability I have with the flames. I'm just a glorified fireplace. I can heat things up and Set things on fire"he smiled "besides, the was also something sad and beautiful in those figures "

~It was one of the few things I was allowed to do to show off.~ She told him a bit safely. ~As for the figures, it is a memory from my childhood. Me and my best friend. It was the last good day of my life.~

Lucien nodded "I should get back to the fields. Enjoy your time outside" he said, bowing his head to her and taking his leave
~He doesn't remember~ Gargou's voice came from above, where he sat perched on the windowsill ~he won't admit it but he remembers nothing before he was adopted. Everything he knows of Phoenix heritage the humans taught him~

Andrea looked up towards Gargou's when he spoke. She blinked a few times. ~That would not be surprising.~ She stated softly. ~There are many slaves that do that, because they feel it is the only way to protect themselves. Keep the masters from having something to use against them. I never would say who my best friend was because I knew they would use him against me as they used my parents deaths against me.~ She looked down, remembering the countless hours of 'training' that she went through. She shook her head slightly before wrapping her arms around herself.

"yes but he even forgot his name" Gargou jumped down peering at her ~i know you're face~he commented ~i feel like we met before the fall~ he tilted his head staring at her intensely for a while then he suddenly got lighthearted ~then again my tired old eyes all of our kind look the same~

Andrea tilted her head slightly. ~I came from Petera.~ She said, speaking the name of her home for the first time since being there. She had only told one other where she came from but it had been another slave who she had not seen in a few years. Andrea looked out towards the sky briefly then back at Gargou. ~It was one of the last kingdoms to fall.~ She used the fire to create an image of the castle for him to see. It had been built among the trees in a large forested area, many of the homes were built in the tree tops to allow room for the shops and castle to be built in the clearing. It was also supposed to be a way to protect everyone, though they had not suspected fire to be their enemy or downfall.

~hmmmm I've lived in all the kingdoms~ he said, the old man for some reason deciding to move and stand in his hands ~helped build the irrigation system in Petera once. The fountain in the square I made, I did~ he laughed spreading his wings and covering over the ground upside down ~all the girls wanted to marry me~ he tilted his head again and looked at her ~you weren't one of them were you? ~ he asked, seeming to be oblivious to her age

Andrea shook her head no. ~I am only 21.~ She stated softly, glancing up towards him once more before shaking her head slightly and looking back out as she made the image disappear. She created a new image of her parents, the man clearly nobility, but what she had not said was he ruled Petera during their time alive. She quickly made the image disappear though, the pain of seeing them not helping her recover from everything she had been through. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly as she wrapped her arms around herself once more.
