Even the reunion with Cordelia had been less then warmhearted, she felt he'd abandoned her and the kids, and rightly so.  He'd left to finish college leaving both the coven and the state. Now with a doctorate in psychology  he had returned home to Robichaux's Academy. He had planned on coming back to begin with, but when Jackson called and said there were even more children at the school that he could help Deacon returned home the next day. He'd spent almost a week in the house hidden, with the only person knowing about his presence being Cordelia, watching the students and getting an idea of their personalities.<br/><br/>Deacon dreaded today because he wasn't sure how his homecoming would be met with when it came to Theo and Layla. They both had been teens when he left, and he'd always hated that he'd had to leave them. For as much of a monster as Deacon saw himself at times it was the fondness he felt for the two of them as well as Cordelia and Jackson that helped him realize he wasn't as far gone as he often thought.<br/><br/>Slipping from his bed, where he'd been reading one of the student's files, he moved to his bag and pulled out his clothes for the day. He'd been staying in the attic, but today he'd be moving to an actual room and suggesting Jason return to the interior of the school instead of staying outside in a shed. He'd give the boy the attic, as it would be the best suited room for him in the house. Finally slipping his clothes on Deacon took a deep breath and made his way down the stairs from the attic to the door at the bottom that had remained locked so that no one could sneak upstairs and find him. Layla had a horrid habit of exploring the house when she was younger and he suspected it hadn't changed.<br/><br/>Walking through the halls Deacon glanced around until he heard the movement in the dining room. Smirking he made his way in and looked around.<strong>"Cordelia I do love what you've done with the place."</strong>He looked over at Theo and smiled giving a friendly nod before looking over to Layla and smiling. He made his way over to where she was sitting and took the chair two down from her moving it back away from the table and towards the wall. Walking over to Cordelia and placing his hands on her shoulders as he gestured to the chair with a jerk of his head before leaning down and whispering in her ear. "For Jason. I'll sit beside Layla in case, but after some of the reading I've been doing, I think sitting him near her but away from the table might be best. From what I can tell they get along and don't desire to stab one another. I'll sit over there to so there is an adult close by if need be." Giving her a light shoulder squeeze Deacon backed away and smiled down at one of his oldest friends.<strong>"You look lovely today by the way."</strong>He truly did hope she could forgive him, but he knew it would take time, a bit of flattery wouldn't hurt the forgiveness process though.<br/><br/>Glancing over to Theo he smiled.<strong>"I'm optimistic for the events of today Theo if your 'how are we' question included me. By the way, it's nice to see you."</strong>Looking over at Layla as he moved to sit next to her Deacon spotted her shirt and chuckled.<strong>"Your shirt...I like it."</strong>Pulling out the chair next to her he sat down and smiled.<strong>"It's nice to see you as well."</strong>He knew that Layla would be the more likely of the two students to be upset with him, but he still had to try. Looking at the other two young men he smiled. Pointing a finger at each as he spoke<strong>"Gabriel..."</strong>pointing to the boy with almost white hair he continued,<strong>, and Surua I presume. I'm Dr. Deacon Valentine. Beyond that I should probably let Cordelia give my official introduction when everyone else gets in here."</strong><br/><br/>Turning his head to the doorway he awaited Jason's entrance. Once he was in the room Deacon would instruct him where he would be sitting for the duration of the class.
