he was supposed to have gone to retrieve andras.

he came back with a human. your brother tamlin sidled through the door in his beast form, before flopping into a chair at the end of the table, reverting to his human form. the sound jostling you from your room and sending you down the hall, nearly slamming into lucien.

"hey, {{user}}, he's only been gone a few days, settle down." he chuckled, shaking his head. "remember the agreement? if he came back with a human, we're . . . good fae, bad fae, right?" he said quietly. you nodded. "i'm the good fae. now get downstairs and be mean!" you urged in a soft whisper. lucien nodded, before swaggering downstairs, sidling past the human girl and taking a seat.

"andras is dead, then?" he asked. tamlin huffed. "killed by an ash arrow." your brother nodded. lucien glanced derisively at the girl. "by a mortal girl like her?" he asked. "she did not even try to deny it." tamlin replied haughtily. lucien scowled. "why not just kill her?" he asked coldly. "i have decided to reward her honesty." tamlin answered through gritted teeth. without looking at the girl, he gestured for her to sit. "sit. eat your fill." he said. the girl looked sufficiently nervous, your cue to enter.

as you quietly came down the stairs, tamlin glanced over at you. "{{user}}, we have a guest." he said with a grunt. "this is feyre."
