Options and Conditions

Options. You always had options.

Even when you didn't think that you had them, there was always one.

Lukas could remain silent and that would have been an option. Say nothing and watch this feud come to their own fruition.

Lukas could have been an observer, almost like Chaerin and Junia.

Junia probably stayed silent out of fear for her superior, and Chaerin stayed silent… because, well, she was Chaerin. Her gaze was solely on Lukas, even at this time now–waiting for what he'd do.

"Stacy…" Lukas called out.

Anastasia dis Vardoken looked at the man in front of her and wavered slightly.

She had promised.

To help Lily, yes. Whether she had done it for Lukas was out of the question now.

But that didn't change the fact that 'Young Lord Aurelius' stood in front of her and considered her an equal to him.

Probably because Lux hid the truth from Nyx, but there was still a look of someone who looked at her without judgment.
