"Oh,I see....but the main question continues,what exactly do you two want from me?" the confused boy asked.

Clair hadn't seen any sign that the boy was struggling.

"Rodrigo, may I ask...do you live here alone?" she asked.

"No,I have my little sister,I took care of her since she was a baby...she vanished a while ago,but I'll find her and bring her back soon enough,that is a promise." Rodrigo said.

(It's to explain why Rodrigo would be alone at this time,and also to prepare for Lily to appear later on the rp,as per her backstory. ^_^ )

"Your little sister....vanished!? That's terrible! We have to find her, right away!" protested Iris.

"Iris, calm down," Clair urged, "I know you're upset, but you need to keep a level head."

Although she certainly didn't understand Rodrigo's logic. He was talking about his own sister's disappearance like it was nothing.

"I know Carol is okay,which calms me down.Trust me,Carol and I ALWAYS know when each other are okay.All I gotta do is try to figure out what kind of place is she on and go there to rescue her myself.I was about to do it,but you guys arrived....." Rodrigo said.

The little boy was talking about going by himself to go rescue his sister!It shouldn't be surprised to those who knew what Rodrigo is capable off,but for those who don't know...or don't believe it...

"Then I'm going too." exclaimed Iris.

"I-Iris, I know you're concerned, but that's not the reason we came here," Clair tried to remind her, "And you can't go off on your own."

"But Aunt Clair, he lost his sister. You should know how terrible it is to lose a sister, right?" The little girl's eyes began to tear up slightly.

Clair gave a sad sigh. Of course she knew...her own sister...Iris' mother...

"OK, but you're still not going on your own," she told her, "if you want to go, I'm coming with you."

"Ehh....I intended to come alone.It could be dangerous for you two!" he remarked.

(If they go with Rodrigo and see Lily,Clair will have no reason to believe Lily is lying about being a Succubus later.If Rodrigo is stopped from going at night as per the babysitting scenario,he'd go the next day by himself at early morning and all starts to fit,and on your next post Carol will be home as well,how about it? ^_^ )

(Depends...what time would you say it is ATM in our RP?)

(It would be night time,I suppose, just a bit before the bedtime Clair usually gives her younger charges. )

"I don't think that would be a good idea, though," advised Clair, "You're still quite young, we wouldn't want you to get hurt." She checked her watch, "Besides, it's getting quite late. You should probably think about getting ready for bed."
