"Was that meant to be a threat, or were you telling me a joke?" Xavier asked, uncertain of what Thomas was doing.
"It was a threat. I said that I would kill you if anything ever happened to my daughter. How could it not be a threat?" Thomas asked.
"The tone you said it in wasn't convincing," Xavier explained, ignoring Thomas to keep an eye on Selene. "You don't need to threaten me. Should I put it in writing to pass out among all of you that I will not harm her?"
Zephyr kept himself busy with a glass of blood, which helped him feel better after being out in the sun.
"I had to say it at least once," said Thomas. "I'm glad that we understand each other."
Xavier stayed silent to let Thomas think that he had threatened him. He found Thomas to be funny more than scary. Thomas fit how Selene described her father to be when no one was watching.
