Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Vincent raised an eyebrow when she said that, but before he could properly respond, she caused the photo box to appear on the table. He looked at it, then to her, and then back at the box, before grabbing it and placing it on his lap. He opened it up and pulled out the first photo, looking shocked for a moment, and then looking at the next one, and the next one, growing progressively more shocked.

"Good lord!" he exclaimed. "You're involved with a DJINN!?" he exclaimed at her, looking at his sister with a mix of horror and indignation... but only after a few seconds, he broke his focus, and poorly suppressed a laugh.

In the past, he'd held horrible antiquated views towards Hal, so much so it almost ruined his relationship with his sister... and the one with Rowena. That had been the eye-opened he'd needed, and after some soul-searching, he'd finally started to leave that stupid and narrow mindset in his past. It seemed he'd moved on enough to at least crack a joke or two about it.

"But seriously, these photos are stunning." he told her.

"Who was the photographer?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

When Vincent made his exclamation, Hollie's initial reaction was honestly anger. He could see the darkening of her expression, however slight it was, and after the laugh was porrly supprese, he realized tht he was lucky. She knew he wasn't serious, and could bite back her initial reactions beautifully.

But that still could have been nasty if she hadn't been able to.

"Who? Jordan Sherwood"

"..." Vincent was silent for a moment, before mentally clearing his throat.

'Mental note: too soon.' he thought. 'FAAAAR too soon...' he added.

"Jordan?" he then asked.

"I... oh, that's right!" he exclaimed. "I forgot she's studying for that." he admitted. "Desiree's told me on a few occasions, but it just slips my mind." he said further.

"But... she took these?" he then asked.

"These are gorgeous." he told her, continuing to look through them.

"Yeah, Hal set up a date with her for it." Hollie told him honestly.

"She's good. Really good with a camera." She added. "And she's already waiting for you to contact her about when." She then said.

"Since there's a good chance that maybe I've already paid her for a session with you and Rowena. Who knows?"]

Vincent just looked towards her and feigned an unimpressed look, before chuckling.

"A couples' photo session, eh?" he asked. "You know... that could REALLY be the distraction that Rowena's been looking for..." he admitted, thinking about it even further.

"Yeeeeah. Yeah, I think that'd be perfect." he said further.

"And already paid for a session, huh? Shouldn't be surprised." he told her with a smirk.

"I'll have to contact her ASAP." he said.

"...and tell Rowena about this." he quickly added.

"You do that." Hollie commented.

"and, if you wanted to go more ... Adult for any of them, I know she's willing to do that. Hal and I got a few, and she did a shoot with Hal's receptionist, Arryn with her boy," She told him, knowing that Vincent likely wouldn't be too interested in that, but that there was still a chance.

"Ah, that is... well, it's good to know." Vincent responded. "Not sure just how useful it will be, but still. Good to know." he stated, continuing to look through some of the photos.

"...very nice, indeed..." he commented again. "It's... frightening, how good these are." he said further.

"They look almost... real. As though they could start moving at any second." he continued, but then forced himself to stop, put them away, and close the box, lest he get TOO sucked up into them.

"Thank you." he said to Hollie.

"I think this may be JUST what we need, Rowena and I." he told her.

"And it'll be Jordan, so Rowena shouldn't be nervous or anything." he then reasoned. "Which is a hell of a benefit."

Hollie didn't say anything for a moment, just chuckled and nodded.

"Yep." She agreed after a couple of seconds.

"I do hope it helps. You just gotta let me know when and where you want to do it." She added.

"Or just call her yourself and set that up. Either work, really."

"Well, I'll need to discuss it with Rowena first, obviously." Vincent responded. "I can't just up and make such a decision on my own, right NOW." he reasoned with a sigh.

"But I WILL discuss it with Rowena ASAP, and... well... hm." he mumbled, thinking about something.

"It would be optimal to discuss it directly with Jordan." he admitted.

"...but I don't know how to reliably contact her, other than through her parents." he said.

"And you ARE paying for this... hm." he continued, scratching at his chin.

"Contact is easy." Hollie commented before pulling a card out of her pocket and passing it over. On it was Jordan's number and email.

"Call or email her when you want to set it up." She told him simply as he accepted the card.

"Easy eough, no?" She asked wth a chuckle.

Vincent looked at the card, studying it for a moment, and then laughed.

"Very much so." he responded, pocketing it.

"I shall discuss this with Rowena, and then contact Jordan ASAP." he told her.

He was then silent for a moment, before leaning close and pulling his sister into a hug.

"Thank you." he said.

"This is just what Rowena and I needed."

"Happy to help." Hollie said with a chuckle.

"Let me know how much of an impact it makes."She added. "Because I hope it's noticeable, and good."

A week or so later, Lunet sighed as she and Cain made their way out of the car.

"I really hope Chloe's not going to need a complete refresh again. Those are extremely annoyig." She commented as she closed the door.

"Like... Seriously."

Cain shut the door on his side as well, and shook his head. He looked at her as the vehicle was remotely locked, and sighed quietly.

"Yeah." he said.

"Seriously, if she needs a complete hard reboot and refresh, that's going to be hell." he agreed.

"The hell has caused this to happen the last couple of times?" he then asked, before pausing a moment. "Wait." he said. "Wait, wasn't it that damned know-it-all tech that thinks he can improve on your design?" he asked her.

"And has caused her to crash EVERY. SINGLE. TIME." he went on.

"Why hasn't your father kicked him out yet?" he asked in an exasperated tone.

Lunet sighed and just shook her head. There was anger there, and Cain could see it clear as day, but she was biting it bac.

"I have no idea." She stated.

"Absolutely no idea. I wish I knew, I really do, but beats the fuk outta me." She added.

"This time, I'm putting a fucking failsafe in her. Something that makes it no one can fuck with my work without my app---" She started, definitely ounding irate, before freezing as they both heard a shutter click

"Hey you two." Jordan said from across the way, snapping a couple more shots before approaching.

"Here, take a look. I'll delete them if you want me to." She added as she held the camera out once close enough. "Or you can delete them."

Cain paused, swearing he felt some strange... twinges?... of pain? Was it pain? He thought he had felt discomfort for sure, but... they were gone as quickly as they came. What were they? He'd felt random pain before, as it was part of his maturing process as a demon/zombie hybrid... or, at least, his parents had told him they were. Was it happening again?

He didn't have time to think on it for very long, as Jordan had said what she did and held the camera out to them. He looked at it, as Lunet accepted it, and they looked at the photos that had just been taken.

"...huh." he mumbled.

"Damn. Those look good." he commented.

"I look so... uh... well, I look more lifelike than in real life." he said with a laugh.

"You look good." Both Jordan and Lunet said in almost unison.

"Wouldn't be with ya if you were butt ugly." Lunet commented after a moment before handing the camera back to Jordan.

"Keep 'em. They're not bad." She added.Jordan just chuckled.

"Cool. Thanks. Probably gonna add the third one to my portfolio. I love how expressive you are, Lunet.'" The vampire commented.

"I tend to be." Lunet commented with a shrug.

Cain just smirked.

"Oh, she's QUITE expressive." he told her.

"Especially at night." he went on, looking off to the side a bit... just as Lunet gave him a playful jab in his ribcage with her elbow. He flinched a little, before laughing again and looking at Jordan.

"Jordan? Yeah?" he asked her.

"Yep." Jordan responded.

"Pretty ace camera you got there." Cain commented. "Where'd y'snag it?" he asked.

"Got it free from some poor soul who was gonna sell it after a break up." Jordan answered honestly.

"It's a snazzy piece of tech, too." She added after a moment or two.

"Most definitely an awesome piece of tech." She added with a laugh. Lunet paused, looking to the camera.

"May I?" She asked. Jordan nodded before handing the camera over. Lunet accepted it, looking it over. It seemed like there was something bothering her, but it wasn't really possible to put a finger on it.

"..." Cain was silent as he witnessed and heard all that, and paused as Lunet examined the camera. He watched her look it over, and raised an eyebrow slightly at her expression.

"Hey." he said.

"Something up?" he asked her. "You look a bit taken by that." he said further, before looking at Jordan.

"And you just... got it for free?" he asked her.

"Yep." she confirmed.

"Good deal, yo." Cain responded with a thumbs-up.

"Oh hell yeah." Jordan agreed as Lunet just sighed.

"It's a three thousand dollar camera, at least." She added beofre Lunet spoke.

"I... don't know. Something seems off about it, odd, and I can't put my finger on it." The blind girl answered.

"I have no idea." She added before hadning the camera back. Jordan accepted it, checked it over, snapped a couple extra shots with a laugh, before saying her farewells and heading off.

"I wish I could put my finger on it... I feel an almost ominous nature from that camera."lunet said after Jordan had left.
