Cliff continued to hold Natali listening carefully to everything she says trying to be just a blank spcae to listen to all her worries, he hears th comment about she is useless and laughs. "If you were useless you wouldn't be here my dear. You are here because you have the most important job in the entire castle, possibly the entire kingdom. Without you our future is with Brandon... the arrogant self centered bratish king.... see your purpose is not to fool with others... its to teach brandon a lesson and provides us hope. People such are yourself are rare... you give the rest of us hope and strength to make it in this hard thing we call the after life. " he chuckles slightly. "Those three... they are Brandon's group of hudlums.... pay them no mind. Threaten them with yogurt if they do it again..." he stops and thinks for a moment holding a tissue to her nose. "Blow..." once she does he tosses it and speaks again with a very reassuring tone. "if I know anthony like I think I do he is down in the punishment chamber for yelling at you. He wouldn't look at you because he was trying to keep his temper and didn't want you more hurt. He loves you with all his hear. The bloody tears sadly are an effect left over from the war years ago, he was deeply injured in the eyes and his tea ducts were destroyed so when he cries its blood not NaH2O" he looks at her trying to ease her worry and pain. "All weill be ok youll see. Vampires are not use to humans being in our world. since it is hidden to them I do not mean you are human clearly..." he looks to her tails. "You are not, but to others there is no difference anymore. so they dont get along with others as well untill they are use to it. So please give it more time and show them that you are worth being here, besides at this point besides the king you are incharge,." he smiles rubbing her head.
