Lucio smiled warmly as he glanced over at his lover whilst he complimented the house. "I'm glad you like it, love . . . My family rarely uses it, and when we do we usually come out all together so perhaps we'll have to make use of it occasionally ourselves," he commented quietly as he gazed at the man fondly. He nodded at the question of where he should deposit all of their things. "We'll take the master bedroom upstairs, it has the biggest, most comfortable bed and it looks out over the lake, it's quite lovely."<br/><br/>The student turned and began moving towards the stairway but he paused when Ansel did, shifting his gaze back over his shoulder onto the other as he carefully maneuvered his cellphone from his pocket. He chuckled softly and nodded, "Yes, I have a feeling you'd have a riot at your office door on Monday if you made your students attend an early morning class without need," he commented lightheartedly, leaning back against the wall and watching quietly as Ansel went about a short bit of business on his phone. He smiled sweetly over at Ansel as the man slid the device into his pocket and then he nodded in the direction they were to go before heading up the stairs.<br/><br/>As they moved up there were a number of photographs on the wall, most were miscellaneous but scattered throughout were portraits of the Bane family. One black and white photo of each of them existed on the wall, nicely spaced out among the colorful photos taken from around the lakehouse. The first was one of<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.violetgrey.com%2Fviolet-files%2Fwoman-made%2Fshannon-vaughn%2F_desktop%2Fshannon-vaughn-archive.jpg&amp;hash=3b48df5efde5e06429200a6eaaed3e68" href="https://cdn.violetgrey.com/violet-files/woman-made/shannon-vaughn/_desktop/shannon-vaughn-archive.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Lucio's Mother</a>, it was quite nice as portraits went as she was a fairly good looking woman. The second one to be seen was of<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefashionisto.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F03%2Femil-andersson-photos-010.jpg&amp;hash=611337d58f49f8f02ae071f2c5930f3f" href="https://www.thefashionisto.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/emil-andersson-photos-010.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Griffith</a>, looking rather handsome in his suit and bow-tie. The third was of little<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fiv1.lisimg.com%2Fimage%2F8818883%2F480full-erik-andersson.jpg&amp;hash=a8968728114c9c18e1d98803134f8f2c" href="http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/8818883/480full-erik-andersson.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Cassio</a>, and he looked rather precious in his photo, as he always did (at least in Lucio's opinion). The final portrait, situated between two waterfront shots near the top of the stairs, was of<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Falbum.u17i.com%2Fimage%2F2013%2F06%2F5a%2Fa2%2F1113512_71064_1430716_C3iO.jpg&amp;hash=6b176db9ddf2a9419fc2db0dfcebdd77" href="http://album.u17i.com/image/2013/06/5a/a2/1113512_71064_1430716_C3iO.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Lucio</a>. He wasn't particularly fond of the photo that his mother had chosen for the wall but he didn't have much of a say in the decorating of the house. That all fell onto the shoulders of his dear Mother so he just had to live with whatever photos she chose to display from his and his brothers various photoshoots. There was one on the wall across from the top of the stairs of the whole family together in front of what appeared to be an apartment complex, most likely in London. They all looked quite a bit younger in the photo, and it quickly became clear that Lucio had, indeed, had an awkward stage. He was grinning at the camera with crooked teeth, his hair cut at an awkwardly short length and his body thin to a fault. There was a man standing behind them in the photo, a severe looking gentleman with short cut blonde hair and piercing gray eyes just like his sons.<br/><br/>"The photos are all my mother's handiwork, she wanted to make the cottage feel a bit more homey when we purchased it so she put up a few photos of us and ever since then she's been slapping our portraits all over the place," he commented lightheartedly as he moved past the family photos and headed down the hall to the bedroom he'd specified earlier. He flopped down onto his stomach on the bed when they arrived, huffing contentedly at the perfect give offered by the nearly brand new mattress.
