Namjoon didn't ask the details of the conversation Felina had engaged in a few days earlier. He knew enough to know that their time was limited. He could feel it at the edge of his awareness and on a subconscious level was afraid that if he asked, it would make it all too real. Generally, he was more direct and decisive, but he could not be so, if he could not even acknowledge the impending change, within his own mind. He knew, of course, but nothing had been officially announced, and he let it stand as it was, for now. For her part, Felina said nothing to him of what they both knew was coming, and she reveled in her connection with him as her sight gradually improved. They had returned to his room the same night they had reunited, sharing his bed, and had shared as many intimacies as his schedule would allow over the following days, soaking each other in, every chance they had. Within three days, Felina's eyes had almost completely returned to their previous sharpness, allowing her to navigate the spaces around her without assistance.

This evening, the group of eleven sat at the table eating a meal prepared by Seokjin, Yoongi and Melusine. The conversation was quiet, as they all felt the building tension in the room. None of the bandmates knew exactly how to conduct themselves, and the maknae line occasionally grew louder as they ate, as if in response to this tension. Their exuberance was relatively curbed by looks from Yoongi, Seokjin and Namjoon, but it was mildly congenial too, the non-humans at the table appearing indulgent to some degree.

Seokjin was speaking with Melusine, who sat next to him, attempting to charm her, and she did appear charmed, lightly flirting with him as much as he flirted with her. Yoongi looked between the two, then towards Namjoon and Felina, who looked to be in their own world and vaguely shook his head. 'These two have lost their minds.' He thought privately to himself, referring to Seokjin and Namjoon. Jaron, across the table from him, caught his eye and smirked as he took a bite of salad, using the chopsticks with a flourish as he watched Yoongi, who gazed back at him blankly. Jaron swallowed the bite of food, continued the apparent staring contest, then laughed lightly, lifting his glass in his hand almost as a salute, then took a deep swallow of the water inside of it. The moment hit Yoongi like a brick and he blinked in mild shock, 'Is Jaron flirting with me, now, too? Or is he mocking me?' He could not decide and looked away. Jaron said nothing, but was suddenly arrested into stillness as he looked at Melusine, who suddenly stared back at him. She stood, glancing at Daniel, then moved towards the foyer as simultaneously a chime sounded from the doorbell. Daniel stood as well and followed Melusine, in close succession. Seokjin stood as if he was going to follow, but Yoongi stopped him, grabbing his wrist as if to suggest caution. Felina glanced at Namjoon and licked her lips, explaining, "Dana is here.", speaking in a whisper that only those closest to her could hear. The others around the table grew silent, catching the higher levels of tension and looked around, questions in their eyes. Jimin leaned over, appearing to ask a question of Hoseok, who shook his head in the negative. He looked over at Namjoon, who began to stand with Felina, who was already walking towards the foyer.

Jaron stood, abandoning his food, and turned towards the foyer, as well, but stopped just at the edge, waiting. Melusine and Daniel stepped into the dining area with a man who was only a little familiar to at least some of the residents in the room. His expression was somber, and when he saw Felina, he smiled faintly, and held her to him, affectionately. Namjoon's jaw clenched, not appreciating the display of affection, but he also allowed it, knowing what this man was to Felina. They were long time friends, partners, and almost, in a way, family. Felina moved from his embrace and he turned and embraced Jaron, who had walked towards the small group. As they exchanged greetings, the other seven of their party watched.

For his part, Yoongi recognized the man as the one that had been with Felina the first time he saw her almost two years ago. For Jimin the recollection was more faint and he was less sure of the man as he gawked at Dana, as if trying to place him in a memory. Felina's group seemed to confer with each other silently, while the others looked on, but within moments, Felina turned towards her six friends and her lover, offering an introduction, "Dana, these are my friends, Soekjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook." She turned towards Namjoon with a sad smile, and as if knowing exactly what Felina's expression told him, his heart dropped into his stomach, "And this is my love, Namjoon." She then gestured towards Dana, "And guys, this is my long time friend, Dana." She explained, completing her introductions.

Dana bowed to the group, politely, then gave a deeper bow to Namjoon, in respect, "I have heard much of you, Namjoon." He spoke to the other male.

"I've heard a lot about you, too." Namjoon answered, refraining from stating that he was not exactly glad to see the other male. When Dana caught his thought, he nodded in acknowledgement, then turned to Melusine, speaking with his eyes and expression. Namjoon knew that they were speaking together and within moments all of their guests seemed to be engaged in a silent conversation, which turned heated, but appeared to be a pantomime of an argument, as no words were verbally exchanged, this time.

Felina shook her head, tears in her eyes and returned to Namjoon's side, almost throwing herself into his arms. He held her fast as she cried, and his chin scrunched up in frustration. He held his own tears back and suggested to Dana, in a commanding tone, "It'd be good if you could explain what's going on for the humans in the room." He did not want to offend his guests, but did not feel like being polite, either and stood in place, holding Felina as she pulled away from him, looking at his expression. He did not return her gaze, but looked from Dana to Melusine. Realizing that the change came with Dana's arrival, his eyes settled again on Dana, and waited for the male to speak.

"The paths have changed." Dana explained tersely, "And there aren't many avenues we may take to avert them. In fact, there is only one thing that may be done."

Melusine sighed and spoke, taking over for Dana, "We must leave tonight." She said softly, but firmly, her tone brooking no argument, "There is nothing to be done for it. Tonight is now. It must be now."
