[ He was lost in thought, his mind whirling over how Frumpkin had known; of course he had known and his fingers clenched in the leading reigns. He could've kissed Frumpkin at this moment, but composure was his strong suit, it had come after so many years. Two hundred years ago, he'd had a temper and had barely managed to restrain it; time had at the very least given him that.
He was not the same person, sadly.
But that did not matter, not the feeling that was within his heart for the soul, like a bright flame though dimmed within those eyes. He held his head up and glanced over at Frumpkin who was purring in those arms as if he'd come home, or rather as if Caleb had. A stab of longing that only evidenced it in the the tightening of his jaw.
Food could be obtained, while Essek did not feed on such things-- many of his retainers did. It would be a simple matter to obtain something from the kitchens to have sent to Bren within his rooms. ]
There is not very much that I do like. [ Essek said this flippantly as he led them both down the path which adopted a very clear path after a fashion. Everything was eerily silent however thankfully the sound of howling did not penetrate this sanctuary, he had installed wards to protect against whatever Trent Ikithon had going on though he knew that Trent regularly sent people to test those wards with depressingly stupid regularity.
Finally through the clearly into green lawn and before them arose a mansion rising within the darkness, some parts dark but others alit with lights. A circular driveway that led to the stables on the outskirts which is the route that he took. The house held stories and spires, there was something timeless about it, of course there was-- this had been his and Caleb's home, though within the centuries, changes had been made, things had been updated.
Now instead of a carriage, there was parked a zemnian-made sportscar in a sleek purple which was probably worth a couple thousand platinum, at the very least. ]
Once I have my mount taken care of, we shall get you situated in a room for the night. [ Approaching the stables, one of the stable hands came out and effortlessly took the reigns with a very precise bow. ] I think that a food, bath and clothes, in that approximate order.
