Seregil took his time walking nonchalantly around the females inspecting them one at a time. His silvery gaze didn't stay fixed on any one of them for any longer than a few seconds, they all reeked from fear. "I don't understand why it is all these ladies fear us so much if they know they're here for a marriage," he commented leisurely. "I know we may bite, but it's not like we're going to eat them." Rubbing his forehead from utter frustration at the situation, he soon shrugged off the feeling and looked up to his father. That man has issues, I'd kill him myself if I knew he would die for sure. Seregil's attention immediately went back to the women, who all seemed to not get the fact that they were perfectly safe here. If he was going to have to chose a woman he would need to find one who was at least entertaining.

Kuro looked at the girl who bowed her head, it seemed she was busy talking to one of the guys so she wasnt going to say hello or anything. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling, she couldnt stop thinking about her parents and that was wired because she never thought about them. She hoped something exciting would happen soon so she wouldnt have to think about her parents anymore. Kuro turned her attention back to the nine men and frowned, this was going to be a long day.

Koi stumbled off of the ride, having been bought here by someone she didnt know. Needless to say her calm face hid her inner feelings very well. No one would tell her what was going on at all. Putting on a brave face, she put her umbrella over her head and walked in, making sure the door didnt shut on her kimono train. That would make her very, very mad since she spent so long custom making the kimono. Holding her head high, she looked around, her dark-lined eyes observing the 'home' as she was led through the place.

"Silence child. In this there is no need for such emotions as love." He hissed at Kana My sons know their duty and what must be done. A wife will be chosen whether you females like it or not. Whether my sons like it or not. If my sons refuse, by the next new moon I will personally slit the throat of any girl left untouched and throw your dying body to the wolves. There will be no leaving this castle unwed and alive. Your sole purpose is to bear my sons children. Nothing more." The man's form seemed to grow larger as his booming voice reverberated from the walls.

"I will be watching and remember my words well. For I do not make idle threats." With that, he seemed to explode and hundreds of bats swarmed through the main hall and out.

((Sorry busy weekend.))

Sabina watched as the bats flew from the room, a single eyebrow cocked.

"Interesting. So does he actually do that, or is it the smokes again. Sometimes it's hard to tell." She asked in a quizzical voice. She looked around at the young men and women there in the room with her. It looked like a few had already begun to make their moves, picking a female and moving in to seduce them.

He says that as if we'd care if they died, Seregil thought to himself. Looking around again Seregil was having trouble deciding if he even wanted to approach a woman, maybe it would be more interesting if he was approached. Games were always more fun when something out of the ordinary happened, but with this lot of women, maybe that was a long shot. Then Seregil watched as another woman entered the house with her head held high, but still she had the smell of fear about her. Still he was impressed that she was able to keep her outer appearance so poised, maybe she could provide him with some entertainment. Then again there was the female who commented about the bat transformation just a moment ago who seemed to feel perfectly at home. It would seem that the time for introductions was coming swiftly, he would have to make a choice eventually and he'd rather it be sooner than later. A slight grin grew on his face as he thought about his situation. It was ridiculous but there was little choice in the matter.

Koi saw other people and smiled, her fear almost instantly vanishing. It was just her fear of being alone in that place that got to her. Now, she just sort of walked over to them, her heels clicking on the floor.
"I'm sort of new here - someone want ot update me on the situation? Like - why was I taken from my home and bought here?" she asked, her English almost perfect save for the small accent in her voice. While she was waiting for the explination, Koi lowered her parasol and leaned against it lightly, her twisted ankle still hurting her.

"They're pretty, arent they Seregil?" Damian asked, having just sort of hidden in the shadows. He chuckled to himself, seeing the so many different women, yet so little of them. Ten different women to ten sons. And if two fell for the same one - all hell would break loose. That's what made this game so much.... fun. He pushed off the wall and stood next to his brother with the smirk still lingering on his face.

"Father would only choose the best for his son's right?" Seregil teased halfway believing it to be true. He had a similar smirk like his younger brother's lingering on his face and he had a feeling that they were sharing similar thoughts. With that in mind Seregil turned to his brother making a head gesture in the direction of the women, "Any particular one you have in mind? I promise not to get in the way," he added with sarcastic tone. Folding his arms across his chest, the regal male looked over the women, his silvery gaze trying to narrow down who it was that he would attempt to pursue.

Damian frowned. Only a couple of them caught his interest, one forigner and one other one that was rather pretty. "I dont know - there are three m-" he stopped when he caught sight of Koi. "Oh - two more girls due to show up, didnt see the little Japanese chick. So I'll decide then, if they make it here." he told, looking at his elder brother. "What about you?" he asked, looking at him, wondering what his brother was thinking about.

Alvaro's eyes trailed over the occupants of the room slowly. Should he enter? He raised a hand and ran slender fingers over the jewels embedded into his skin under his left eye. Strands of light hair fell into his pinkish-red eyes as he finally stepped from the shadows and entered the room behind one of the late women. He found his eyes on her form for a moment or two before her question registered. "My...isn't it customary to give ones name before demanding anything from their hosts?" he replied in a smooth voice. He brushed his bangs out of his eyes before closing them and smiling sweetly at the girl, "But I'll let it go just this once...neh? Name's Alvaro Nao Albel. Call me whatever you wish, dear. As for your question...you are to be married, I suppose, to one of us." At that he opened his eyes again and gestured to himself, and his brothers.

Seregil raised a slender yet strong finger to shin, "I would have to say the foreigner and the gypsy as of right now at least," he admitted. Smiling to his brother he noticed the entrance of another of his younger brothers, since there was only one that was older than him and another the same age. "Well well, it seems that Alvaro has made his entrance to the party and claimed his rights to the foreigner as well, seems like that leaves me with one of my options shot," Seregil said smoothly. His nonchalant demeanor left almost everything to roll off his shoulders relatively easily, but he would defend his brothers to the death, that being the only thing to really get under his skin.

"Silver haired ones mine brothers..." Lucas warn his brothers lightly as he looked at his girl with a smile. He looked towards Seregil, "Though I doubt I'll get trouble from you will I..." He said softly looking at him before back to his girl.

"Aww, and she was a cute one too." Alvaro joked, switching his attention from the Japanese girl to his brother. He smiled at Lucas, his smile giving nothing away. "Though really, it isn't fair to the girls to just stake claims as if their livestock." He said, tapping one slender finger to his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Laughing lightly at his brother's idle threat Seregil smiled and nodded in agreement with Lucas' comment, "Now Lucas, you know I have no intention of getting in anyone's way but don't get it in your head that I'm being a pushover." A sadistic gleam glowed in Seregil's silver eyes as he finished, "I'll kill you if you underestimate me," then his face grew soft instantly with a serene smile. Turning to Alvaro as he joined them he added, "You have a point, but it doesn't look like these women will come to us, now does it? Preferably that's how I like them... Bold." He gave his brothers a playful wink then looked out at the women once more, maybe he would just sit back and wait to see which one took an interest in him. It wasn't like he had anything to lose anyway.

Koi turned to face the boy. She listened intently before her slender eyebrows rose in shock. "Married...?" she questioned, looking shocked. "But... we dont have a choice? You choose for us?" she asked, not as shocked as she was angered. "And my name is Koi, just to add to that," she said, taking a seat and just sitting there, holding her face in her hands. It was clear she wouldnt be taken so easily, nor seduced, or pushed toward a man, and she doubted she'd get out of here with a man. Or - at least, that's what she hoped.

Damian listened to the exchange, shaking his head and chuckling. "These women - I agree - are not livestock. We can... try to seduce them, but in the end, as the Japanese girl said - they must choose for themselves." he said, totally agreeing with a human for once. Where ever they got these girls, they were good girls, with brains instead of using their looks to try to get ahead. And they werent all fake boobs and butts, they came natural -or at least, he hoped they did-.

Alvaro blinked again, "See? Even Koi agrees with me Lucas." Then he chuckled at Seregil's comment, "yes dear brother, I know how you like them." he rolled his eyes childishly and then leaned back against the wall, slumping to the floor. "I'm sleepy..." he muttered, he didn't very much appreciate getting woken up early and that made his hold on his sanity a lot harder to keep.

Lucus sighed, "I know they aren't livestock...but if I have to chose one I've made my pick...." He looked at Alvaro chuckling, "You too?" He sighed, "It's a bit depressive...."

Nodding to Lucas the raven haired male shrugged, "I agree with Lucas, to an extent. If we have to choose I would rather do it now than later, yet still I plan sit back and wait." Glancing around at his brothers, with the mood of the room somewhat changing, Seregil let out a soft sight, "Well I'm hungry, and I just may leave my mark on one of these lovely ladies if I don't get some nutrients soon." He was being sarcastic about marking the women of course but he was hungry.

"Marking the women....no to soon..." Lucus said but slowly left the company of his brothers to go by 'his girl'. "Hello...." He said softly looking at her. Up close she was more cute then before, "I am Lucus...and you are?"

"Then why don't we go find some food?" Alvaro suggested, getting up and making sure he had his brother's attention before some emotion flashed through his eyes. his grip was slipping and if he didn't get out of here soon...well, let's just say the girls didn't want to meet a cranky-just-woken-up 'other' Alvaro. As he tightened the hold he had on his sanity, Alvaro decided right then he would call his other side Albel, only because people rarely called him that, and it would help to differentiate.

Seregil simply smiled at Lucas but nodded to Alvero who seemed to be facing familiar inner turmoil, "Hey Alvero, don't lose it... not here and definitely not tonight," he warned his brother with a firm pat on the shoulder. He knew his brother's other side just like his normal one and now was not the time for him to have to play savior and put his brother to sleep. The festivities hadn't even started yet, "But enough of the grim talk lets go eat," he said with a smile to keep mood light.

((Sorry it took me so long >>))

When Kana was barked at, she looked down in shame. When Lucus walked over to her, looked up at him, and blushed a little. Her fear hid behind her cute, child-like smile. "I'm Kana, pleased to meet you Lucas." she said, tilting her head a bit. She looked at the others, who were mostly talking to the other girls, but a few were left behind, staring at them still.

((I'm confused...did Alvaro pick?))

((idk....))

"It's nice to meet you Kana...though I'm sure it would be better under.....well...different situations..." he looked down frowning.

Kana smiled and looked to the ground, laughing a bit. "Well...yeah...if I wasn't so obliged...so basically if I don't get married I'll die!" she said, trying to smile. "Fun...right?" she asked, her eyes tearing up. "I-I'm sorry...excuse my behavior." she said quietly.

((hmm...he's still undecided XD so anyone who wants can try to catch his attention ^^))

Alvaro nodded and smiled appreciatively at Seregil, "That's why I suggested we go eat now, dear brother." He replied and fixed his hoodie, shooting one last glance around the room, offering its occupants a sweet smile before disappearing out the same door he had entered from, leaning against the wall just outside, where no one could see him, his breathing suddenly ragged, "Come Seregil, I haven't much time left." he managed out, nails digging into his palms.

Lucus frowned, "It's fine it's alot to take it....trust me I know....waking up one day and being told you can't go in the sun anymore cuz you'll turn to ash like your mother did...." He scowled.
