"Arus!" Hannah exclaimed as she hurried to him. She didn't care if those precious papers were stepped on or crumpled or torn or what ever. She knelt down beside Arus and held him in her arms to comfort him.<br/>"I am here for you Arus. I don't care if they say you are a prince. You are my friend first and that is that. Sure what your parents did was wrong and you couldn't do a thing about it any more than I could help myself at that age. It does not matter what happened in the past. What matters is what we do now. I'll pick up the papers and stuff them in Father's briefcase. We don't need to know any more of that stuff. Stay here and I'll be back soon."<br/><br/>Hannah glared at her father as she began to pick up the papers and tossing them onto the table.<br/>William was shaken at Arus' response to the articles but he straighten out the papers and put them in neat piles to organize them. He glanced at the pendant hanging in full view of anyone to see. William didn't speak until all of the papers were put away safely in the briefcase.<br/><br/>"I am sorry to have caused you such grief,....Arus. But I had to confirm your identity and to tell you of your heritage. I do have a message from your grandmother. She said to tell you that she will be coming to see you. please let's forget about the papers and your past. Let us talk about your immediate future.<br/>While you did well with what you had, I feel that this place can be more inviting if it was totally renovated. Perhaps new furniture. Tell me what is yours and if you want to keep it, then I'll have it put in storage until everything is done.  I am allowing you and Hannah to redecorate to your own tastes as long as it is in reason. No nudity or vulgar color schemes.<br/><br/>While the apartment is being redone and I'll have a new set of appliances put in so that I feel safe when you two are cooking ect....a new water heater, and any other item that would make it more pleasant for the two of you to live here. I know that Hannah will want a ballet bar and such. Just let us discuss that for a bit"
