    Night washed over the city of Jasper like a blanket, and the full moon’s light bathed the city in white. As soon as night approached, thousands of tiny lights dotted the skyscrapers, brightening the never-resting cityscape. Cars bustled from point A to point B, pedestrians walked, and drunkards littered the streets. Mortals continued their daily lives, oblivious to the underground that had formed in front of their very eyes. On this night, and every night of the full moon, a simple, but crucial meeting conspired between the non-humans that populated Jasper. Every month until the sun peeks over the horizons, they share secrets with only those who would understand, plotting their next moves, and meeting with old friends. The werewolves meet in the well-known bar, Satan’s Hounds, entering from the backdoor. The vampires gather in the sub-basement of The Bleeding Heart.

    Lily always hated these meetings. Although she was on alliance terms with the Kingdom of Night, she hated their philosophies. Letting humans populate a known haven for vampires? Disgusting. She, herself, would never step foot in the Bleeding Heart, unless for business purposes. Lily stalked the streets of Jasper at night, her devoted Coven following behind her. Since there were still humans around, she had instructed her followers to keep a low profile. As they neared the small establishment, she could smell the horrid, human coffee wafting from the counter. It seemed closed, but she still looked inside, wanting to make sure. Lily guided Night’s Ash to the alleyway between the Bleeding Heart and a laundromat, approaching a dirty cement door.


    Ethan swept the last piece of trash into the dustpan. After tossing it and putting the broom in the corner, he and another one of his Coven set up the chairs needed for the meeting. Ethan enjoyed the meetings enough; it was a good time to cultivate the alliance he had made with Lily, which was hard, considering her….unique….personality. He did, however, love meeting the new vampires in town, and loved having his fledglings get to know other vampires besides himself. This was also a good time to learn better ways to protect his Coven, and to Ethan, this is what mattered most. “That should be enough, Oliver. Make sure the front door is locked, we wouldn’t want any strays to wonder in.” He wiped his dusty hands on a cloth.


    “I could’ve done that meself, ya know.” Oliver dreaded the monthly meetings. He always made a point to stay far away from Lily, as it always brought memories of the horrible thirst he experienced after his abandonment. “Aye, sir,” he replied to his leader, quickly hurrying up the stairs to follow his orders. He grabbed the keys from the keyholder in the office and locked the door. He glanced out into the street, watching people leisurely walk along the sidewalk, emerging from their respective bars and restaurants. Oliver turned the “open” sign to “closed” then closed the curtains around each window. He hurried downstairs, following other Kingdom members.


    Josiah stood next to his Alpha, waiting for the others in his pack to catch up. He always tried to stay his closest to her, especially on nights like this, when Bloodsuckers were traveling as well. He was neutral about meetings like this, listening to important parts, but ignoring those who tried to speak to him. He hoped they would at least have some decent food or something, because he was starving. He also found it uncomfortable to have to stay in his human facade for this long of a time, and couldn’t wait to be able to take a short nap before morning came. He glanced at the establishment known as “Satan’s Hounds.” He thought it weird for wolves to congregate in human-like places, but he had to remember that he was considered the weird one in that situation. When everyone caught up, he reflexively opened the backdoor for Noelle.

    <p><span style="color:#808080;">Andre</span> placed the clean glass cup onto the shelf with its brethren. He then turned and strolled over to the entrance and flipped the open sign to closed for the night. It was a shame to close the bar up so early but he had a meeting to host tonight. Of course his customers were as displeased about it as he was but he gave them a drink before kicking them out. The last customer had just left and it was nearly time. He sighed as he shoved his hands into his pocket and turned around to look at the few members of his pack that were inside his bar. Amongst them was his beta, Rhydian, who had been playing pool with some other members. “Should finish up before they arrive.” He warned him as he headed towards the back to unlock the door for the Silver Striders.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“Yah’ I know but I can have fun till they get ‘ere.” <span style="color:#FF0000;">Rhydian</span> replied as he took his turn, aiming at the white ball with his pool stick before striking it and knocking a ball in. “Think Noelle still looks fine?” He asks with a playful smirk.</p>
    <p>“I won’t comment on that.” Andre answered with a small laugh towards his friend’s personality. “Be careful not to say such things around her, who knows what foot, might get shoved up you.” He joked as he leaned against the bar table, waiting.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#AFEEEE;">Noelle</span> wrapped herself up in a light white coat, it was vaguely see through but her dress covered her body. She made sure everyone was there before leaving the house they called home. She made sure they stayed in the shadows as they cut through into the forest towards the bar that the Hollow Nightstalker’s occupied. She disliked going to such a place stained with human filth but she had no choice since that was where the meeting was. The woods made her feel comfortable and as they stopped at the back door to Satan’s Hounds she looked back at her pack to see if everyone was there and no one had gotten left behind.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#008080;">Riskel</span> followed close behind Lily as they walked through the night towards the distasteful café that was owned by the lesser vampire coven. He couldn’t understand why they would want to serve such pigs and cater to them. But they always left him dumbfounded with their stupid ways, loving humans is a truly ridiculous thing and they should only be used to supply them. One day their imprudent beliefs would get them all killed but at least Night’s Ash wouldn’t have any more competition, if this is even considered competition. Though he thought this, his thoughts easily shifted towards Ethan. The only good thing about this meeting was seeing him. He couldn’t explain why feelings festered for such an imbecilic man nor why he matched everything he likes in a man. He would’ve been better if he shared the same ideals but he chose to be tainted by the livestock. Once they approached the backdoor, he stepped in front of Lily only to open the door for her, not wanting her to get her hands dirty. After she entered it was up to the other members to hold the door for themselves.<br>(may edit it later to include Augustin &amp; Jacob)</p>

    Anna sighs, going to grab some coffee from a gas station. It's going to be another of these nights, where she barely gets any sleep, works a whole lot of overtime, and is still expected to come into work the following morning. She gets the strongest stuff she can find, adds plenty of sugar and a shot of caramel, and some hazelnut creamer, before paying for it, and heading back to her van.


    She puts on her headphones, turns the volume up quite a bit, and selects the playlist she uses for the specific purpose of keeping her awake. She sips her coffee, savoring the taste, and gets back on the road. She's still got a lot of work to do. The mail she has to deliver is all over the place, which means she'll be in all four sections. She's learned by now that there's a pretty serious gang problem in all of them, which worries her.

    Illyasviel slowly opened her eyes as her body awoke. The young vampire stood up and stretched. Scars riddled her arms as she stepped into the given light. Her eyes slowly changed to he piercing ice blue color as she exited her treehouse. The girl jumped down, landing silently on the ground in a crouch. Her ebony hair flew over her face as she rose and glanced around, realizing thy vampires would be out so she had to be careful. Curiosity arose an she waded towards the bleeding heart.

    Vance sighed to himself as he walked down the stairs, studying his shoes with each descending step. For the moment his expression was unguarded, his eyes clouded over in thought. The more he thought about the meeting, the more his stomach knotted itself up. It was a waste of his time, especially since he had to interact with those other vampires. They seemed to have some sort of superiority complex and that really rubbed him the wrong way. Shaking his head, he got rid of the dull expression on his face. Reluctantly, but mechanically his lips twisted into a non-nonchalant smile. The more 'fun' he had with this, the faster it'd be over. With that thought in mind, his steps became more lively and energetic as if he couldn't wait for the meeting to start.

    HUGO BUNKER;;
    hugo was up and early, already on his way to the meeting. he would of typically hated these meetings, but he got to see his friends, so that made it okay. he almost had a skip to his step as he walked, he was excited. he wondered if any stray humans would come in tonight, he was feeling a bit hungry... he grinned at the thought, blood making him oh so happy.


    it was a bit chilly that night, so hugo made sure to slide a jacket on. it wasn't like he needed it, but he didn't want to be that weirdo who wore shorts and a tank top in the winter. honestly, he was that weirdo, but no one needed to know that. speaking of people, the streets were almost empty tonight. he thought that was a bit odd. did something happen he wasn't aware of? he knew about everything that happened in jasper, so this came to him as odd. he shrugged the thought away, returning his focus to his destination.


    after a bit more walking, he finally made his way to the bleeding heart. he quickly made his way into the back alley, entering the bar through the back. as always, he was one of the first to arrive at the establishment.


    STUART YOSHIDA;; [font=Tahoma]
    stuart was always excited for the meetings his fellow kind would share. he liked talking to people, getting all dolled up and drinking. oh, and food. he could never forget about food, of course. he made sure to eat lightly before leaving, knowning they'd have some good grub he could ge this hands on once he got there. of course, he'd still do his job as beta. he always did, and took pride in it too.


    stuart was currently leaning against a wall, watching his fellow beta playing on the pool table. he enjoyed the company of rhydian, he wasn't super serious and enjoyed having a good time like he did. he also enjoyed alcohol almost as much as stuart did as well. he watched the other knock a ball in, and make a comment about noelle.


    "noelle is scary, man. i only talk to her if i need to. i'm afraid she'll bite my head off."[color=#ffffff] he said as he moved towards the pool table. he bent over, lining his stick with the white ball on the table. he stuck out his tongue as he concentrated and wigging his butt a bit before he took the shot. the white ball went across the table and smacked into another one, the ball going towards a hole. it stopped an inch away, not going in. stuart stood up, groaning.


    [color=#C48E48]"damn. i'm awful at pool. why did i agree to do this again?"


    Illya watched the two vampires make their way towards the Bleeding Heart, her piercing cool gaze following their movements as she perched on a roof. Her body tensed as she leaped down to land softly on the ground, hidden in the shadows. this was the reason the lone vampire was grateful for her ebony colored hair to blend into the darkness in the allies. Illyasviel approached the abandoned coffee shop slowly, her body moving elegantly through the shadows as she paused, making sure no one was sensing her, or behind her.

    <p>“Ay, if ya’ let ‘er she will eat ya whole!” <span style="color:#FF0000;">Rhydian</span> joked, his Scottish accent full blown as he watched Stuart’s form move over to the pool for his turn. He watched the smaller male bend over the pool table and aims his stick at the ball. “There’s jus’ somethin’ special bout getting underneath the ice queen’s skin.” He said almost wistfully as if it was a pleasurable experience.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“If you’re not careful enough Rhydian, she will freeze you over and bite both of your heads off.” <span style="color:#808080;">Andre</span> said in slight mirth as he made his way back to the bar table and promptly leaned himself against it. His lean figure was slightly shrouded by the lighting but you could still make out his handsome features. Andre was adorning a formal bartender outfit comprised of monochrome colors. His view seemed to be focused on his two betas that were enjoying a game of pool.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“Both?” <span style="color:#FF0000;">Rhydian</span> exclaimed in shock before a loud boisterous laughter left his heavy frame. “I never thought you’d make a joke like that!” He praised Andre as he turned his gaze only briefly to look at the admirable Alpha before turning back to Stuart. “You agreed lad ‘cause you enjoy shaking your rump.” The man teased as he had taken note of Stuart’s butt wiggling, it was a funny thing to see though he couldn’t fully understand it. “And ya like getting defeated by me!” The man’s red eyes scoured over the pool table before leaning his large muscular form over and taking aim with the pool stick. He eyed a ball near the pouch that he felt he could easily knock in. With precision he struck the white ball and it went flying, not only knocking his ball in but knocking a Stuart’s ball in as well. A curse left Rhydian’s mouth at the horrid scene.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#AFEEEE;">Noelle</span> gave a small yet warm smile at Josiah as he opened the door for her. He was such a sweet child, she held him dear to her. She’d prefer if he let her do such things herself but she respected his wishes of gratitude. She nodded her head towards him before discarding the smile on her face and entering the building. She hated it here, not that it was a bad establishment but the reek of humans brought up bad memories for her, causing her to cover her face with her hand, her sleeve draped as she did so. Her cold eyes fell upon Andre first, then the two males over at the pool tables. Even at a time like this, they still had time to fool around. “Still playing games?” She announced loudly from underneath her sleeve. Her voice was cold and commanding and almost directly condescending towards the two Betas.</p>
    <p>“Welcome Noelle, everyone, I’m glad that everyone made it here safely.” Andre welcomed Noelle and her pack with a warm smile. His friendly nature displayed about him as he rose from his position and moved over to Noelle and the others.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“Ah it’s that wonderful time again, is it not?” <span style="color:#DAA520;">Augustin</span> chimed towards Ethan as he jumped down from a high chair he was sitting on. “Meetings are always so much fun, wouldn’t you agree?” He asked openly before his violet eyes scanned the others heading towards the basement. He could easily spot the few that actually dreaded the meetings, one being Oliver and the other…it was a moody looking teen who he always referred to as Normandy because he found his last name to be funny. As much as he wanted to pester his dear mother, Oliver, he knew it was not best as the boy had emotional scars. He instead went downstairs, following after Normandy with a cheerful bounce. “Normandy, you are certainly an odd person!” He called towards the boy who was taller than his small figure. He gave the boy a kind yet mischievous smile.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>Wind blew through <span style="color:#000000;">Jacob’s</span> sandy brown hair, obscuring his vision but he was more than used to it. The night held a cool breeze to it as the wind caressed his skin. Even though it was quite nice, he was spending it following his coven into the Bleeding Heart. A place that he once stayed in with people he could recognize, though he preferred not to act like it. He was a different person, he was never the person that they knew, or they thought they knew. A soft sigh left his lips before he looked back out at the cold night. It was brief but something caught his attention, it seemed as if a form had jumped off the roof. Jacob had no trouble seeing in the dark, as the darkness was something like kin to him. But the thing fell to fast for him to make it out; he thus decided to ignore it and entered inside of the lively coffee shop, only sullen due to the nights shadows.</p>

    The ice blue orbs followed Jacob, before the posture relaxed from its rigid posture as he vanished from her view. The vampire loner slowly headed closer to the Bleeding Heart. Her form easily slipping between shadows as she followed the male slowly. Illya paused as she eyed the place. she didn't have a coven for a reason, and she actually disliked the groups too. Memories of being abused ran through her head before she shook them off quickly. Her hand swiftly tied her shoulder length hair up in a pony tail as she slowly came closer...never entering the area of sight but her body easily slipping between darkness.

    Lily walked through the back door of The Bleeding Heart, taking in the dinky, little basement area. She was grateful towards Riskel, but gratitude should be saved for the weak. While she hated having her meetings here, she would not want any of these vampires to crowd her abode. She sat in one of the chairs provided. It was much more uncomfortable than she wanted. She looked visibly irritated now.


    Ethan sighed a bit, thinking of how this meeting will go; if any past meetings were the basis for how this would turn out, he really didn't think he wanted an answer. "I guess you could say that. They always turn out interesting, though." Ethan was a little surprised that Lily and her Coven had came so early, considering how late they were last month. "Good evening, everybody! Donations are upstairs on the heater to keep 'em warm. My family should be around soon enough. Greetings, Lily. Hello, Riskel." Ethan headed up the stairs to the main part of the cafe, looking to see who was still upstairs. He wanted to remind everyone to stay polite to Night's Ash, no matter how rude they might end up being.


    Oliver flinched at the sight of others beginning to gather. He didn't really expect anyone to come so soon. He made his way through the crowd slightly avoiding most people. He sat somewhere near the back, far away from the gaze of Lily and Night's Ash all together.


    Josiah stood behind Noelle, frowning at those who came near her. He knew he was being a bit overprotective, but could help but bare his teeth at the two. He was neutral about humans, as he had never really experienced being near them, but he had to admit that they smelled quite...different.

    [align=center]



    HUGO BUNKER;;
    hugo made his way into the basement of the bleeding heart, a small yawn coming from the depths of his throat as he waited for Night's Ash to make their way here. he tended to not move with his coven, much to the distaste of others. he just didn't like crowds, or maybe he was just weird. he stayed in his corner, watching the other coven move about and prepare for everyone else. he probably had a weird face going on, as most people who looked at him made an odd face and walked away. he drummed his fingers, waiting patiently.


    he watched lily and riskel walk in, along with the rest of the coven. he stood up, making his way over to them. he acted as if he was there the whole time, standing around with his hands in his pockets. he looked around, trying to find someone to speak to. his eyes found jacob, which prompted him to walk towards him.

    "hey jacob. anything interesting i miss on the walk here?"


    STUART YOSHIDA;; [font=Tahoma]
    stuart hummed, moving back to his spot against the wall. he crossed his arms, looking back at the other.


    "not my fault i have an ass to show off."[color=#ffffff] he teased, grinning. he watched the other leaned down to line up his shot. he shot, hitting his ball, as well as stuart's, into a hole. he laughed, clapping his hands together.[color=#C48E48]"nice one! thanks for the point."

    [color=#ffffff] he said as he moved back to the table. the door opened, and he stopped in place. his gaze moved to the door, and he spotted the ice queen walk into the door. he stayed silent, setting down his pool stick.

    Not many people called him Normandy, so when he heard the unfamiliar, yet familiar, name being called, Vance instantly knew who it was. He didn't understand what was so funny about his last name, but he wasn't going to think about it too hard. Augustin seemed to have a knack about teasing others about virtually anything. Once he made his way down the stairs, Vance stood a few feet away from its base, looking up at the other vampire. "You think so? I thought I was pretty normal," he said with a light smile.


    "Scuuuseee meeee," Madelyn chimed from behind some of the members of the Silver Striders, squeezing her way through until she made her way into the bar. She had gone for a short walk before the meeting to clear her head a bit. She noticed that the meeting was close to starting so she made her way around the bar and carefully slipped in among her pack members.

    The vampire loner approached the abandoned coffee shop, her curios nature getting her attention more so than her wariness. The young vampire girl slowly eased along the edges to peer through the doors towards the noises. Waay too many noises assaulted her senses and she swiftly drew back, taking a step back in fear before taking a breath to approach again. She didn't like crowds, but why was everyone responding to the meeting so promptly? It was weird. Illyasviel slowly approached the top and stared again, her stunning blue eyes taking in Ash, and Lily warily before she turned on her heel and left the scene, eyeing a roof and swiftly scaling it to land in a soft crouch, muscles tight, so she could maintain balance.

    <p><span style="color:#008080;">Riskel</span> followed Lily inside; the smell of humans invaded his senses, disgusting him yet inciting hunger at the same time. He wiped his hands against his pants as if the door handle had actually dirtied them. He kept by Lily’s side and kept his face placid as he took in the surroundings before taking a seat. He looked up as Ethan had begun to talk, he couldn’t understand why he talked to them in such a friendly manner. He doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to understand. He listened at first but briefly zoned out as Ethan had mentioned donations. He was indeed hungry but he would never drink blood at such a vile place. As he thought, his attention didn’t come back until he heard Ethan call his name. He wondered if the other man had caught him not paying attention. He instinctively looked towards Ethan before turning away and giving a nod in acknowledgement of his greeting. He then adjusted himself, uncomfortable in the café, and at his own flustered self. He hadn’t expected Ethan to notice him nor even remember his name as he often doesn’t say much unless someone tries to insult Lily.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#000000;">Jacob </span>stayed within the coven though he was a bit distant himself. His thoughts at most were incomprehensible but they held his attention so far until Hugo had approached him. He hadn’t seen him amongst the coven during the walk but his question answered that. He wondered why he had approached him as they weren’t really close but he didn’t necessarily mind. ‘Hm nothing much though the breeze was nice.” He said languidly before fixing his attention fully on the man before him. Though his comment seemed rather open, he hadn’t seemed to even notice he had made it. “Ah, though some girl did try to mingle with us as we entered, she doesn’t seem to be here any longer.” He answered thoughtfully, his eyes meeting Hugo’s as he preferred to show his dominant personality in subtle means.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“Hm, there’s an air about you that I deem rather abnormal.” <span style="color:#DAA520;">Augustin</span> answered a small playful smirk on his face. “Anyways, Normandy, I bet you’re delighted by the meeting?” He asked, the tone sounding genuine but sarcastic as he felt that Vance disliked the meetings. “It’s nice seeing a variety of characters, no?” Augustin’s small body moved appeared even smaller besides the teen. It was almost as if he had shrunk a bit more. His violet eyes laid on Vance’s face, taking in any shift in his expression.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p>“You’re too confident in y’er hindquarters, lad.” <span style="color:#FF0000;">Rhydian</span> had teased back when taking his shot. Now his brow furrowed in slight anger at his own accident and Stuart’s laughter. “Ay shut it.” He grumbled in response as he moved his calloused hands through his rusty brown hair. He then turned towards the door as he took notice of Noelle whose comment was most likely towards him. “Life wouldn’t be fun if there weren’t any games, ya know? Maybe if you played more o’ em you’d be warmer.” He retorted playfully before taking note of the growling Josiah behind her. “Don’t worry lad, we won’t take ya girl from you.”</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#AFEEEE;">Noelle</span> watched the two with cold eyes, noticing Stuart’s silent disposition as he watched her. “What I do with myself concerns you not.” She stated coldly before she frowned and her face looked a bit flustered. For a brief moment her cheeks had lightly flushed but she was quick to regain her composure. Her taciturn face returned to her as she scowled at the Beta. “Even if you tried you have the charm of a skunk.” She retorted before turning her attentions back to Andre. “Thanks for your consideration.” Noelle said as she turned and walked down towards the basement where the meeting would be held, her pack following her.</p>
    <p><woltlab-metacode data-name="hr" data-attributes=""></woltlab-metacode><br></p>
    <p><span style="color:#808080;">Andre </span>was relieved the two didn’t go any further than silly comments about themselves. “Both of you come down when you’re ready.” He told his two betas warmly before walking down the steps to the meeting. After all he had to be down there since he was the host. He also wanted to make sure everyone was there as they took their seats. Andre waited in front of the meeting area, watching members file into their areas, taking note of Madelyn who he wasn’t sure if she had been there before or not. Regardless, he was glad that their pack was flourishing.</p>

    Vance chuckled and shrugged, "Well, you get to see new bodies, but their characters are pretty much the same," he replied, taking a light jab at the other coven, but only loud enough for Augustin to hear. He leaned against the wall and took a moment to look over at the other vampire. No matter how many times he saw him, his child-like appearance always threw him off a bit. It had to be different, having to experience the world through a child's body. But maybe it wasn't so different. Maybe Vance was just being naive. He'd have to ask him sometime, if he got the chance. It just seemed like an odd thing to bring up out of the blue.


    Madelyn watched silently as more people came down the steps. Seeing Andre come down the steps she instantly recognized him as the Alpha. Maybe she hadn't been late at all, and that thought relieved her as she went to take a seat. She folded her hands on her lap as she waited, humming lightly.

    Illyasviel stood up from her crouched position and once she was sure no other vamps were appearing, she quietly jumped down from her roof. Walking with a slight limp, the young loner entered the coffee shop and hid herself in the shadows so she could hear what was being said. Her blood staining her pale skin slightly, but covered by her sweater.

    “That such things could be uniform is intriguing in itself. Though it’s surely changed a lot since Lily took it over, I guess some people can’t live without power and wish to wrest it back to themselves in any means…” Augustin stated, at first his tone was cheerful but it later turned a bit serious sounding and almost distant. His eyes resting on Lily who was only 2 inches shorter than him but her appearance was only a bit older than his. He then turned away, facing Vance again as the other male leaned against the wall coolly. “Power…isn’t always worth it; keep that in mind, young’un.” He advised the teen who was over him in terms of height. His face returned back to its placid demeanor before he looked back at the vampires settling in. He was going to turn and head up the stairs before he noticed a lone female vampire. He quirked his lips in amusement before trotting over to the girl, his long hair dragging against the floor as he walked towards her. “You’re as curious as a cat, aren’t you? Have you heard that curiosity kills cats?” He asked Illyasviel with a playful tone though underneath it was icy threat. “Speak now stray, are you friend or fiend?”

    Illyasviel jumped slightly as the male vampire spoke to her, her unusually colored orbs turning the striking blue once more as her guard went up. Illya bared her fangs, her eyes flashing uneasily form side to side. She was supposed to stay hidden, never be seen ect. So much for her first rule. Her shoulder-length ebony hair fell around her face as she leaned back, hissing as some of her wounds pulled. "Does it matter?" The young female asked icily, her tone wary and cautious. She was a vampire....that was all. Sure she had no trust whatsoever in males, but eh oh well

    "Don't have to tell me twice," Vance assured the older vampire before watching him walk away. Expecting him to walk up the stairs, he was a bit surprised to see Augustin approach a vampire he hadn't noticed before. He raised an eyebrow, watching the confrontation from afar. She had to be some wanderer off the streets, seeing as how Augustin approached her. Vance stood where he was though, if anyone had this handled it was Augustin for sure. He silently wondered what the girl was doing here though. She seemed pretty unfriendly from what he could see and all he could do was chuckle a bit. It wasn't a good idea to just wander in with an attitude. He kept his eyes on them in the meantime as he waited for the meeting to start.
