<div class="floatleft">(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBTzr3bUEAA9uYM.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Kaspian Herondale (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347468.msg16356305#msg16356305)<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>As picture<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>On the way to the Pho place<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>Noonish Wed July 5th<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Heading out for some lunch with new friends<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Melody Fairchild-Harrow, Kaleigh "Leigh" Keo<br/><br/><hr/>He nodded to Melody. “Of course, you were able to help.” he says. “A lot of people I’ve met here have…” he considers it for a moment. “I’m guessing a lot of pressure to represent their family in the best light. Everyone is pretty indifferent about fighting demons any given day, no psychiatrist to talk to about nightmares you’re having. It’s just part of your every day existence. Its like everyone has to be tough, stoic, badass and very competent all the time. At least that what it seems like.” It was difficult to explain that even after three years he always felt like the new guy because they all shared these expectations. Ok not everyone, but a lot of them.<br/><br/>He shakes his head at Melody. “Why would you apologize? We’re all just sharing our not so normal childhoods, not competing. What you went through affected you.” He didn’t mean to come across as some hard luck case. He listened to the talk of the ‘mudbloods’ messing with the pedigree of the honourable houses of angels. Once again, he wondered if like everyone had a ecclesiastical lineage based on if they were in the first batch of ShadowHunters created by Raziel and every generation had to maintain some kind of standing to get into Heaven.<br/><br/>Seeing Melody roll her eyes made him smile. He was glad that not everyone was some serious prick walking around with a stick up their ass. He chuckled at the perceived air quotes in ‘scandalous’. Walking with the two pretty ladies Kaspian couldn’t help but smile. This was a great way to end a mission. He was going to check on Michael later but right now he was actually enjoying himself like an hour after meeting a demon.<br/><br/>Leigh’s question brought him out of his little reverie. “No, I’ve never met a Herondale in person. There may have been one on one of the conference calls but …yeah, you probably know way more about my family than I do.” he easily admits. “Sure, I’d love company if they ever show up and say hi.” He had been here three years, any thoughts of reuniting with a cousin or an aunt had been leeched out of him.<br/><br/>“I sort of felt that ..” that what, he didn’t pass their standards? There was no point in trying to make friends if you didn't let them in. “They were keeping their distance or maybe asking around to see if I’m like a teenage embarrassment that no one wants to claim because they got their act together now and it would be a lot of explaining to their current family.” It would be difficult to suddenly explain a grown ass man and where they came from. What do you do? Get a room ready? Introduce them to their new half brothers and sisters?<br/><br/>Turning to see the restaurant Leigh was pointing at he smiled and nodded. “That is the place.” he agreed. The hostess watches as Kaspian holds the door open and greets him by name. “These are my friends, Leigh and Melody.” he looks at Leigh and Melody, “This is<span class="bbc_u">Constance</span>(https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/20211865/640full-olivia-liang.jpg).” She smiles at both of them and gestures for everyone to follow. “Hello. Follow me.” she says. “You two know him from…school?” she asks. Kaspian nods. “Yeah, we all go to university together.” he didn’t like lying to his friends but its not like the truth was an option.<br/><br/>There are menus at the large table. “I’ll get everyone some water. Want anything else to drink?” she asks the two ladies not every bothering with Kaspian. “Don will be out in a second.” At which point as if summoned<span class="bbc_u"> her brother</span>(https://photos.hancinema.net/photos/fullsizephoto1198150.jpg) comes out of the kitchen and nearly does a double take. Kaspian makes introductions again. “<strong>Ah..school friends, like you’re working on a project together. I’m Don, I hope you have good appetites.</strong>” he smiles.
