Nightfall: Chapter 3

Related? Well, you know, I couldn't be bothered with this today.

Really, I couldn't.

"He's lying. Bluffing. Whatever. I don't care." I sort of shouted.

(S)
=i snap the chain on the neck knife and hold it in my hand=
That may be so, but I told you, you aren't leaving this room. Anything you want to say to her, you can say it now.

I wrap my arms around Claire, pulling her close.

"And what makes you think I wouldn't be okay with that?"

(Damire)

=I look to Seln, unfazed by the threat=

I've faced tougher men than you...

And I'm not bluffing when I say that. Not at all. I was just doing a bit of research in the library. Merely a bit curious.

=I smile once again=

"The Library. Not everything you read is true."

I was a little annoyed, in all honesty. Maybe because I couldn't be doing with any more changes.

"I've read my fair share of books based around stupid shit. Whose to say you weren't reading something forged for your own, or someone elses, personal gain?" I say, stepping forward. My time in this chat seemed to have just dawned, which was fine for me.
Any other time and I'd have looked a fool.

I get up, opening the bedroom door, while not actually leaving the bedroom.

(Damire)

=I look at the other vampire, giving him a cold glare=

Fair assumption, given the situation.

=I cross my arms=

But believe me...I know a con when I see it. And I wasn't conned.

=I continue to glare at the other vampire, the back of my neck tingling=

Ah...looks like I may have a guest waiting in the wings...

(S)
And you know that for certain? There is always one better than you.

Always one better than you...
Even if Damire was with Knight, he more than likely knew the threats. And the risks.
"No threats. No fighting. Damire, you want to talk to the girl?"

(S)
=i turn my head to look at Soren=
My house, my rules. I'm not going to let a furry walk around my home. He stays here.

I look at Seln, snarling a little. I had no idea what a furry was, but I knew quite well what rudeness was. "I was going to ask him to tell us what he intended to say to her." I say, barely an inch from Selns face.

(S)
=i snarl back=
Back. Off. This is not your home, so don't make demands or threats.

I turn and walk back to the window, hissing a little. What then? Just sit there for a while and bathe in their incompetent awareness? They needed to find out why he was here. He mustn't just want to tell her that... There had to be more to this.

"Well, this day gets better."

I sort of leaned against the door frame.

(S)
=i look back at Alex and shrug=
Vampires. More animalistic than you can imagine.

"I... Must guess so."

Relative. I didn't... No, I didn't have time for this, not now.

(Anton)

=I chuckle=

Some a LOT more than others.

=I mentally picture Dimitri and almost shudder=

(Damire)

=I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose=

People these days...

I want to talk to her about...well, what did her attacker look like? In her own words.

"Well... I was... Urm... Attacked from behind. I didn't see him/her."

What did it matter to this 'relative' anyway? Looking back, however, I had been a tad bit harshe before...

(Damire)

=I nod, knowing this was most likely the case=

That's all I wanted to really know.

=I look to Anton=

Who's handiwork did it look like to you?

(Anton)

=I cock an eyebrow=

That's new...

There's only a couple of vampires I know that act like that.

=I mentally cross off one vampire=

I know Dimitri has never used that tactic in his life...

=I sift through some old memories=

Which leaves only one vampire in question...and I know this one isn't a primal.

"Why are you interested in whoever did... This?"

I wasn't sure of the term, or didn't like it, if somewhere inside I did know it.

(Damire)

=I rub my chin=

I was just a bit curious is all.

=I give her a fatherly smile=

"Oh, okay."

I glanced around the room.

"You know because..."

I look away in shame.

"I'm a Vampire and you're a werewolf."

I lightly turn her head back towards me, so that she's facing me.

"I know. But that isn't going to change, neither are my feelings. I accepted that, you should too. It makes life easier."
