Henry quickly picked up on her body language and dropped a step back, staying quiet.

She dug her hands into her palms drawing blood a bad habit both tyler and Betty shared

Henry could smell the blood but it was a small amount so he wasn't worried about it. He wasn't good with stressed silences like this… he often lost his temper the longer they went on. But he didn't know what to say yet.

The blood continued leaking through her fingers

”Uhh… Tyler?” he said cautiously, hoping to either distract her or get her to snap at him instead of just silently fuming.

Tyler ignored him gritting her teeth

”Tyler.” he tried again. He had fed before taking this trip but he really wanted her to stop hurting herself.

She snapped, " what the fuck do you want" she yelled

”That.” he said a little relieved. ”I want you to yell at me. Cuss me out if it’ll make you feel better. I just don't want you to close yourself off.” he told her. ”I know I’m the world's biggest ass but I… Just go ahead. Rip me a new one. I can take it.”

" your a fucking asshole your so damn cocky to the.point it pisses people off you try to turn everything into a.cocky comment trying to make things better when in reality it makes things worse you don't know when you can be cocky and right now I'm fucking pissed so please go to hell oh wait your here so maybe I'm in hell" she said with a growl

He sighed, a little doubtful that she was done. ”Yeah, I know. I’m arrogant and I turn everyone against me.” he shrugged. ”I don't know… It might have started as a defense mechanism to keep people from caring about what happens to me. But I’m done driving people away. Or at least I would like to be.” he tried to explain even if she wasn't really listening.

" we don't have time for this Betty's pregnant anf Lysander had to leave her to do some things for Lysander" she said starting to walk away

Henry raised a brow at the second bit of information. He had been under the impression that Ly wouldn't leave Betty’s side for too long, unless he had to. Then again; six months with a pregnant vampiress… Henry couldn't imagine what that was like. ”Ok. But seriously, feel free to call me out on any of my shit if you need to vent.”

" all you do I cause shit" she growled

”I know.” he said not bothered by the comment but he wasn't brushing it off either.

" let's just get going" she said
Betty picked up the phone calling her dad

Yes, ma’am. was on the tip of his tongue but he held back for now. He didn't want to draw more attention to them than they already had. He would admit that that was his fault.

”Hello?”

Tyler groaned as it started to rain " great fucking great" she mumbled

" Hi Dad it's Elizabeth. . .is Lysander with you?" She asked

”Welcome to England.” Henry quipped before he could stop himself, still surprisingly used to the weather. ”Here.” he said gently as he opened an umbrella over the two of them.

”No, I’m afraid I haven't seen him lately.” Charles said. ”You know he doesn't prefer my company but I can have him come back if you need him.” he offered.

" thanks" Tyler muttered still kinda pissed at him.
" No it's ok but if yor not too terribly busy could you come over it's really lonely in this big house and Lysander usually sleeps with me so I'm kinda scared and since I'm pregnant that intensifies my fear" she said

Henry nodded and gave a small smile at what he considered progress… a very small amount of progress but still progress.

”Of course, my daughter. I understand.” Charles nodded. ”I can stay with you for a while until Lysander returns. I'll be there shortly.”

Tyler chewed on her bottom lip as they turned into an alley

" Thanks Dad" Betty said with joy in her voice

Having been a vampire for as long as he had, Henry wasn’t scared by their path but he did keep his ears sharp for anyone who may want to try anything. Though he was fairly certain that this wasn't as big a problem as it was in the States.

Charles smiled softly at both his daughter's tone and choice of words before heading over.

Tyler led him down the alley which was a dead end

Betty threw the phone on the bed and got up picking up a bit sure it was only her dad but she didn't want to seem like a slob

Henry raised a brow at the dead-end in front of them but didn't question yet. Maybe this was some kind of magic?

Charles soon enough arrived at Lysander’s house and knocked.
