<strong>Enzo's clinic.</strong><br/><br/>Richard blew out a heavy breath since he too knew they were mortal just like anyone else.  He'd seen the crypts and the mausoleum, he knew that they could die from blade, gun, or poison, but old age wasn't a factor for a Xantelli.  He nodded all the same since loving was not a word they'd use to describe Marco and Maria.  No one with that much power had the ability to truly love like a real parent would...and even then Richard knew that no man or woman was perfect anyway.  All one had to do was turn on the news to see how bad things were off of their Island 'paradise.'  Still, he knew it could be worse as he nodded to Enzo's assessment, hating to agree with the man but knowing he was right as well.  "Maybe I will....at least one or two to help me out if nothing else.  Only you could convince me to do anything with a cool head Enzo.  And I wouldn't ask anyone else's advice either since most are too afraid to talk so openly with any of us, for good reason perhaps but it gets tiring.  Maybe I will go and see the world, though the reason I haven't already is because I just don't know where to start.  There's so many places out there I'd love to see, and that's also the problem because I wouldn't know where to begin.  That....and as much as I hate to admit it, I don't know if I COULD leave even if I had a clear destination in mind."<br/><br/>Enzo had already pointed out why that might be an issue.  Despite his lack of use of the Power, Richard couldn't so easily give it up even if it was to see the world.  He knew nothing else, and giving up one of the few things that were certain made his heart rate speed up considerably though he hid his discomfort well....though not to the doctor's eyes most likely.  There were few things one could hide on such a small Island, and everyone eventually knew your face and name and how you liked to eat your dinner as well as WHAT you liked to eat as well as what you did in your spare time if you opened up enough of course.  Richard had stayed out of the public eye for the most part save for his actions during parties, and even then it was well hidden that he had experimented with many illegal substances when he was old enough to legally smoke, a past time he had quick almost as soon as he had started.  "You aren't a fool Enzo, despite your own promise being broken by your return.  I still hold much respect for you old friend despite how warped you and the rest of the family are.  I mean that in the best possible way.  Still, I will take your words to heart and...try to see what I'll do and where I'll go before and hopefully I fall as everyone else has in our family."  Richard said as he rose and patted the man on the right shoulder before walking out slowly.  Turning back once, Richard flashed Enzo a thumbs up before pushing his way outside and heading to the beach.  Maybe a swim would clear his head a bit....
