Breathe

He thought nothing of Ace bringing a guest until she seemed to be stunned by the idea of her sister being here. Elias paused for a moment and simply watched her, wondering what would come next. The idea of running into more of the Adravendis was always something that brought a chill to Elias. He never knew which ones wanted to kill him and which were understanding. For the most part during this little exchange, Elias' eyes remained on the woman he was uncertain about while he listened to his brother come close in a hushed tone.

Red gaze caught his brother's when Ace pulled away from him, reading for intensity so that he might know what this meant to Ace. Elias' curiosity was getting the better of him, and his eyes trailed back to Baine once again. If Ace was whispering, this was likely something that they needed to discuss privately. For now, his attention was refocused.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Baine Adravendi. I am Elias Praetor, Apollyon of Ruina." He turned to his brother, neutral expression only slightly broken by a smile that somehow didn't seem to make him appear any less dead.

"Zuriel is my mate, The Demon Mother. How are you related to her?" His tone was curious as he lowered his crown just slightly, interest taking over him as he waited. If she didn't know Zuriel was here, he assumed she was here for Acere alone.. and that spoke to Elias on their connection. Zuriel left a home already full of family for the sake of love and to start her own family. Perhaps Baine and Acere were not far from the same goals.

For now, his full attention was left on their guest until her intentions for being on the pack territory were made known, though he couldn't help but hope already that she was here to stay. She appeared so pure it brought an ethereal feeling to the air around him when he looked at her, like he was staring at an angel among demons.
