Ru- Ru walked in hesitantly and watched their surroundings. He didn't stray far from Demetri and Cameron as he went, and tried to get a better sense of this place. Obviously it was surrounded by other houses, but what was the rest of the estate like?
He paused a moment to turn around and look at the door, and then shook his head and continued inside.

If there were other houses, they weren't visible over the hedge that bordered the estate. The mansion itself probably covered an area the size of the block Ru lived on or greater, but it was hard to assess from seeing just the one side. As they walked out into the larger room, it was clearly an overly grand reception hall, or more modestly grand ballroom. The floor was covered in giant black and white tiles and the decor looked quite like a Pre-Colonial castle. No one was in sight. The world was eerie and smelled of stone dust. Demetri led them to a grand staircase to an open upper-level, and from there to another large hall. Demetri- "It is too much. Rather a waste of space." Cameron- "For real. Who lives here, a legion?"
Demetri- "Just Tomasz, Sarah, Tristan, and - for the moment - the three of us. Of course, some servants as well."

Ru- "Your sister lives apart from you? She is your sister, right?" He was mostly expressionless as he studied their surroundings, though in truth it made him feel more nervous talking about things like this. He took a single side step to stay nearer to Cameron.

Demetri- "Francesca? She has her own place downtown. I have a number of different places I can stay, but for now I'll be here. Mm... and she's only my sister in the sense you are now my brother, but we are very close."
As they moved through the hall they saw a human servant pass up ahead in the distance. At first it was a bit shocking. He looked like he was calmly walking as he burned to death. His body heat was as a fire engulfing him. Cameron- "..."

Ru- "She looks much like you, but your personalities could not be more different..." He stares intensely at the human servant walking by, if only because it was so strange to see another living human made so bright as to nearly be incandescent.

The servant took no note of the three and quickly disappeared from sight. They kept walking the long halls, rounding a corner to a different wing of the colossal building. Demetri- "We are both from the shores of the Central Sea. I suspect we're more alike than you imagine, but I'd like to hear about your perception. How are we different?"

Ru- "You seem a little more quiet, I think your sister is more boisterous and outlandish-acting but it's just my perception. Maybe that is simply how she expresses herself." Ru didn't really feel like going into a lot of depth about most of this, and looks at the ceiling.

Demetri- "*siiigh* Nevermind then. Here we are." They came into another oversized hall / drawing room / whatever you call giant rooms full of posh appointments and rich people stuff. Three people sat among the thickly cushioned heavy wood furniture, and Demetri's group joined them on an opposite couch and chairs.Demetri- "Tomasz, Sarah, Tristan, you've met Cameron and Ru."
Tomasz- "Hell yeah, that's my baby."

Ru= He gave Demetri a puzzled look, and looked if he might want to ask him what, but the moment passed."Hello." His voice came out smaller than he intended but his tone was at least reasonably cheery. He hoped his face looked like a real smile right now, and waited to be invited to do something.

Tomasz- "A smile. That's promising." Sarah- "Is it?"
Demetri- "Why not? Cameron..." Cameron- "Uh, um..."
Tomasz- "Cat got his tongue?"
Demetri- "He'll get over it. Or not. We're in rather unexplored territory with this situation. Perhaps someday soon we will find out the reason for it."
Tomasz- "Why does anything happen?"
What the hell are people talking about anymore?

Ru- Ru smiled but felt increasingly nervous. This did nothing to make him feel better, and he waited through them talking with each other for a moment before he spoke again. "It is good to meet you, father, and sister Sarah. Cameron is still digesting the situation, but he's a good man, I can vouch for him." His voice became a little stronger, and lost its shakiness. His smile felt unsteady, but now he was confident."Hello Tristan."

Tristan- "Oh, hello, Ru?"
Sarah- "What, too many syllables for you?"
Tristan- "It's just... So short I don't know if I do it right?"
Tomasz- "It's great, kid. Everything's comin' up roses."
Cameron- "This family thing... Is that, mm, one of the rules?"
Tomasz- "Naw, I think it's adorable though. Good respect."
Demetri- "You don't have to do that Ru."

Ru- "You can call me Russell if you want, Tristan. I see, then Mr. Dragomir?" Ru didn't feel any more relaxed, and hoped his smile wasn't becoming increasingly awkward again. He put his hands in his pockets and swayed back from the hips.
He was starting to feel strange being the center of attention. It was one thing in a film, and another thing standing in front of three people who he felt dubious about their friendly nature.

Tomasz- "Russel, huh? You shoul--"
Demetri- "--should come with me on the grand tour, and maybe Tristan as well? I think the youths would benefit from each other's company. Sarah?"
Sarah- "Knock yourself out."
Tristan- "'mm, cool."
Tomasz- "Eh... Suit yourself."
Demetri- "Shall we?"
