Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silver Moon" data-source="post: 6255281" data-attributes="member: 8530">He approached me immediately after it happened, astutely deducing that his bringing attention to what I had done would cause great embarrassment to my family given the attitude towards wizard magic in the British Isles.  Vlad and I have been good friends since then, and often timed our visits to Paris to coincide.  In many ways he's like the older brother I never had.  He introduced me to many 'firsts' in my life, although with Paris as the backdrop, that isn't necessarily hard to do. I will say this, that day had a very profound influence on my life.  I would not be here now, or in my profession for the past several years, had it not been for what happened then. He replies, "I really should.  I visited there once with my father when I was twelve and Vlad was twenty-two.  I met Vlad's brother then, although he didn't become the Czar until their father was killed early last year.  Unfortunately due to my father's presence that trip was far more formal that I would have liked it to be. I have not made it back there since, my work always interfered.   I would truly love to meet his family, he has written me and sent photographs, but I would like to meet them in person.   I guess it's time for me to finally learn Russian, I never had to before as the adult Romanov's all speak fluent French. [OOC]I can guarantee that Callum will visit St. Petersburg, as he already has.  He was used as a playing character in a "Seven Outlaws in Search of a Bank" Sidewinder Recoiled module played a while ago that was set in December of 1882.  Basically, Queen Victoria agreed to let Deadeye Douglas's gang out of their British prison to hunt down stolen British crown jewels that had been tracked to St. Petersburg.  Callum went along as their guard.[/OOC]</blockquote>
