Michele
"Poor girl. The previous owner use to explore allot with her. Now she's cooped up in one place. Must be torture" *He said and made surr to move out of the way when Terrel was busy. He was almost exited to ride her. And scared at the same time. The stable owner had some interesting stories to tell about her*
Lois
*Terrel would eventually finish up with the last shoe, drawing away from the horse as he tried to stretch a bit from having to stoop over for quite a while.*"Should be good to go now."*He'd comment, walking back over to Carl.*"We'll get you fixed up in the next town. I promise."*He'd tell him.*"For now, how does a good run sound?"
Michele
*Pitch seemed quite exited as she stomped her hooves and nodded her head while snorting* "Maybe I should join you then. Huh. Someone seems eager to run. So I might as well learn the hard way and do bareback." *As he untied Pitch she would become a little hard to keep still* "Come on girl, Let's give it a try..." *Took him a little while, but he managed to get her to a railing and he would quickly get onto her. As he sat on her he tilted his head slightly as he looked down at her* "I'm so going to regret this"
Lois
"Don't try anything crazy."*He'd say.*"If you don't see me doing it, that means you definitely shouldn't. It'll be hard enough for you to keep a good grip... And without the saddle it's going to feel like extra weight in one spot with her... So you'll have to balance it out..."*Terrel would mount up onto Carl, turning him around to trot back towards Kibaru.*"Untie her lead and hand it over."
Michele
"Hand it over? Well you know what to do I guess" *He said as he did as Terrel requested* "But I think I might need it... I feel like she's about to take off into the air here..."
Lois
"If she's not calm do not try to ride her bareback."*He'd say, slowly dismounting back off of Carl so that he could hold the lead more securely in his hand without dragging his horse along.*"If you couldn't hang on to Carl while he's running, you definitely won't be able to hang onto her."
Michele
"Well I did run a little while with Carl. But what bread even is he. I want to know what I'm in store for with Pitch" *He said as he patted her in attempt to calm her. Whether it worked to calm her or ready her up wasn't clear*
Lois
"You had a saddle with Carl."*He'd point out. Being asked what breed Carl was, he'd simply say:*"Silnarian Draft Horse."*Terrel would begin tugging her along.*"I'll let you to go once you can keep her in a steady trot. After that I'll let Carl get the chance to get used to her."
Michele
*Pitch would tug on the lead a bit as she followed Terrel. She would let out snorts like she was full of energy. She was quite dissatisfied with the speed Terrel was going, but she continued to go at his pace* "You sure you have a handle on here? I don't want to be stuck on her when she jolts and I most definitely don't want to let her loose after I just paid for her"
Lois
"If you didn't want to be stuck on her when she jolts, then you probably shouldn't have gotten on her back."*He'd give her a pat along the side of her head as she'd tug at the lead.*"She probably just wants to run free right now. So long as we keep her in the fencing, she shouldn't run off."
Michele
"I think it would be best if I could grab a proper saddle and just have her run it out. She's been stuck in here for a while... I heard she even started jumping the fence at some point... Even destroyed a few... Maybe this was a mistake" *Pitch would calm a little. But she still tugged a little. She didn't seem to mind Kibaru on her back to a point where she almost forgot he was on her*
Lois
"It would, but I doubt he'll let you take a whole saddle with you."*He'd say as he continued leading her along the fence line, moving at a faster pace for her to at least stretch her legs out a bit more.*"On the bright side, it won't be any of your fences."*Terrel would joke.*"Great thing about traveling, plenty of open space and little care about property damage. Ready for me to let go?"
Michele
*Kibaru would intensely stare at Terrel. He could practically feel the stare though the mask* "You are one crazy dude if you think I'll be able to keep her under control while she's this exited." *He said with a monotone voice.* "Give me the rains before I go zooming of if that's you plan"
Lois
*Terrel would tilt his head up to him, calmly handing him the reigns in contrast to the harsher training with Carl just before.*"All yours."*He'd say, stepping away from the two. Would it be wrong of him to assume that Kibaru was scared? Probably not, though it would have never been admitted if that was the case. He'd head back to Carl and mount up on him before heading back to rejoin Kibaru and Pitch.*
Michele
*Kibaru would give a slight Nudge and Pitch would start to trot around a bit. Blowing huffs of air in anticipation to her rider to speed her up. When carl came close, she would slow down a little and give a few nods of her head. She noticed him, and showed no aggression, but she made sure to keep a bit of a distance*
Lois
"Ready to go for a ride?"*He'd ask Kibaru, tapping his foot to speed Carl up just enough to move at a pace that wouldn't trigger Pitch to suddenly run off.*"You'll have to keep pace with me and Carl here. We'll just be going around the outer loop of the fences."
Michele
"Ok Pitch, don't do anything stupid" *He said to her as he tapped her* "Ok then lead the way. I'll try my best to not run into you"
Lois
*Terrel would tap at his horse, pulling him into a gallop as he'd head towards the fence line. It wasn't the fastest pace, but it was at least fast enough for the horse to properly stride. He'd pull Carl into a wider turn, making sure he had enough space so that Carl could easily move in a loop.*"Make sure you don't turn her last minute, no horse is good at sharp turns, even less so the riders if they don't know what they're doing."
Michele
"That really applies to riders without a saddle" *He said as he steadily followed Carl. Pitch was happy enough to get running and was quite eager to run faster, but she kept the pace given to her. But she was happy to be able to run like this now that she could with her shoes*
Lois
*With Kibaru seemingly being able to handle it, Terrel would eventually turn his gaze away from him.*"Let's go Carl. You remember when we've tried jumping lessons? Let's see if we still got it."*He'd say before turning him and running him towards one of the fences. Terrel would make sure Carl had enough time to see it, holding on tightly as his horse would leap over it before landing on the other side. It was exhilarating to say the least. How long has it been since he's felt this kind of rush? Well outside of fighting anyways.*
Michele
"I am most definitely not even going to. No! No. Don't you even think about it" *He said turning Pitch around as it seemed like she wanted to follow* "This is not going to end well for either of us... No" *He said trying to get her under control. Eventually managing to get her to stop. Quite disappointed the let out a snort as she looked at Carl*
Lois
*Terrel would run along the fence line before pulling Carl into a slow trot.*"I think she'll be better off whenever we get back traveling again."*He'd say as he looked back towards them.*"Jumping comes naturally for them, but it's something riders need to learn. We'll have to get a saddle in Salvania, so maybe it'll be be better to hold off on horse riding too much until then."
Michele
"She's probably going to need silk under the saddle... And I guess I have enough money for that... I just don't know if it'll be worth it though"
Lois
"Well depends on how much you care for her to feel when you ride her."*He'd say.*"You two may have a lot of bonding left to do."
Michele
"Left... We haven't even started. I want to take it slow and she just wants to speed away first chance she gets. I know she likes lemons and is picky about her saddle and that's about it" *He said ash he jumped off of her before taking her back to her post* "Now stay her while I go see if I can find you a saddle" *With Kibaru almost falling over after he climbed off, Pitch let a out a disappointed snort* "Geez calm down. You're shoes are fixed aren't they. Just give it some time. You'll be on your way pretty soon enough"
Lois
"Well she's a free-spirited horse. What else do you expect to get when the owner tells you she tries to break fences and run off?"*He'd ask towards the obvious situation he had gotten himself in. Terrel would lead Carl to the fence line.*"If it makes it any easier, we can tie her up to Carl that way she'll have to move with him. At least he's less prone to running far."
Michele
*He then stared at her for a bit* ""Horses bite, correct. So what would Carl do if this one got a little frisky?" *Something just told him he made a mistake and it had nothing to do with previous problems*
Lois
*He'd give a shrug.*"I wouldn't know."*Terrel would admit, knowing this would be the first time Carl would be tied to another horse.*"He's used to going at his own pace though. If the horse is too tired to run, he's going to stop and I'm pretty sure Pitch isn'r going to be able to drag a full grown horse with her while she runs."
Michele
"That's why I asked, She might bite him out of spite. Or try to chew what binds them... Poor carl might even suffer from a kick or two" *He said as he gave her a few taps after tying her up* "We'll see after she got that energy out. She's way to exited. Me getting on didn't help either"
Lois
"Won't be able to get any energy out staying tied up."*He'd say, slipping off of Carl's back and tying him to the post.*"Think you can keep an eye on her Carl?"*Terrel would ask him. Carl would eye Pitch, letting out a huff of air in seeming response.*
Michele
"I'll go see if I can fins some material for the saddle, Should be able to ride her without much fear then. Give her a few laps around the city and see how she does after. Might even go to the black smith and buy two more shoes as thanks... I guess I'll be going then. Might as well pick up some supplies now that I can carry them in the saddle Who wants to come along?"
Lois
"I'll go get Carl a drink before putting him up for the day. Think I'm going to head back to the Tavern for the pups to work with training them again. It'll be harder on the road anyways and they still have a bit to learn before we can leave them."*He'd say.*
Julio
*Manon was hunched over with strands of her hair covering her face. Her chest rising and lowering with her shallow breathing. She had dozed off while she waited it seemed. The purple Umbrella trapped on her lap with both arms resting on top of the wooden handle. Her lips were slightly parted so anyone who got unreasonably close could possibly notice the fangs she carried. If she stayed like this any longer she would definitely have a sore neck when she woke up.*
Michele
*Kibaru would walk over to her before tapping her head* "He wake up sleepy her. You look like a zombie sitting there like that. Or worse, a stalker. Let's go for a walk. Ok?"
Lois
*Terrel would untie Carl's lead and walk him over to get a drink of water, deciding to relax against the fence post for the time being.*
Julio
*Manon tilted her head back once she felt the tap past her subconscious. Lifting both arms high above her head as she stretched her limbs. Once finished her left hand found Okami's arm and she used him to bring herself to a stand. Trying to find the strap to release her umbrella was difficult as her eyes were only half open. Fingers fumbled with the thin string before finally untying it. A second later and the purple umbrella was overhead to block out the sun once more.* "I must have dozed off, Did everything go okay?" *Raising the sleeve of her shirt to her face as she wiped at her eyes and mouth. She had the feeling that she might've drooled but nothing was there.*
Michele
"Yeah. I'm going to go buy some material and other supplies. So let's hurry up. I want to get to Ride Pitch before Sun down" *He said as he patted her head* "By the way. How are you feeling. You thirsty. Don't want you going crazy again"
Julio
*Almost conveniently timed, a yawn forced it's way out from her lips.* "A little tired, I'm not sure if it's because so many people are around or because it's day but I feel exhausted. I could try to eat, I don't particularly feel hungry or thirsty though." *Her eyes were fully open now though the look of exhaustion hasn't completely left her face yet. She wasn't entirely sure what the hurry part was for but she hoped it didn't mean they had to jog like earlier.* "How are you feeling? Did you end up choosing Pitch? If that's even her name." *Last she remember, the name was still in question.*
Michele
"Well you agreed with it and I didn't mind. So that's her name. Now come along. If you don't start walking we're going to have to jog a gain." *He said as he pulled her as so she could start walking* "Tell me when you're hungry please. Don't keep quite"
Julio
*The threat of having to jog was enough incentive to make her walk immediately. She grabbed the hand that Okami was using to pull her with and removed it from her arm. A second later and she looped her arm with his instead.* "Are you going to catch me some rabbit when I say I'm hungry?" *Moving the umbrella enough so she could catch a glance at his face when he gave his answer. She couldn't help but feel like he would allow her to feed off him again.*
Michele
"Compared human blood and animal blood for a sec. Which is better would you say?" *He asked as his blood turned cold for a second* "If you're going to be starving with animal blood it would be better If I just gave you normal human blood. Don't you think?"
Julio
"I'm rather drink animal blood if it means I don't hurt you again." *She said quietly. He was right, human blood was way better than animal blood. It scared her really, She didn't trust herself to stop at an appropriate time. She already drained animals to death, she didn't want the same to happen for people.* "You just want to hear me say you tasted amazing. I'm catching onto you mister." *She gave him a playful tug as they set off towards wherever saddle supplies were.* "Don't tell me a warrior such as yourself. Who lost to a boar in the wild. Is a afraid of some healer from the forest." *Anyone could tell that she was smiling from the tone she spoke in, even without having to look at her face.*
Michele
"The thought hasn't even crossed my mind. So wait. Animals tastes different then humans. I was asking about keeping you full. But no I am curious" *He then took his mask of and looked at her with a smug expression as if he had just accepted a challenge* "So tell me. Which tastes better? Me or a rabbit?"
Julio
"Of course they taste differently." *Maybe she shouldn't have made it sound like it was common knowledge. She couldn't help but look up at him when he asked the question. She regretted looking into that smug smile of his, focusing on the street in front of instead.* "L-Lets just go buy the things you need. You're in a hurry aren't you?" *She would never hear the end of it if she answered his question. She needed to find a ways the steer the conversation elsewhere and fast. She would have to blame the sunlight for why her cheeks were blazing red if he were to notice.* "What kind of saddle are you searching for?"
Michele
"I've won yet again" *He said with quite the satisfied look on his face* "Not a saddle. Just for some material to put under it to not hurt the horse. I'll try Silk, hard hide, soft hide, fur and so forth. Peach didn't have a problem with pants, but maybe that's just because it covered a smaller area. I am looking for some cooking utensils and ingredients as well as some whetstone... Maybe I'll buy you a cup too. Do you prefer it warm or cold though? The Blood I mean?"
Julio
"Fine! Yes, You... You.. It tasted better.*She lowered her head in defeat. She could hear her own heartbeat drumming in her ears.* "Cold is pretty revolting. I don't think it's possible to have it cold and fresh." *She remembered trying to feed off a long deceased animal and it made her vomit almost immediately. Ever since then she fed off of things still living or something she had killed herself. Very rarely has a live animal survived her feeding, as once she starts she found it hard to stop.* "Buy me a cup?" *She imagined herself just walking around with a cup, clearly confused as to why she would need it. Was she begging for money now?*
Michele
"Thank you for saying I taste better" *He said before grinning a different kind of grin* "Have you tried snow with blood... How about blood in the food. What if you cooked it like blood bread?" *He had a glimmer in his eyes with the many thoughts that swirled in his head* "You are going to be a perfect experiment"
Julio
"I uh. Well no bu-." *She nudged him with her elbow. Not only could she answer any of his rapid-fired questions, she never tried any of these options.* "I would like to stick to my traditional methods. I do eat other foods too you know. Let's talk about how delicious parsnips are." *She was a little afraid of what experiments he wanted to test on her. Was he planning on spiking her meals with blood now?* "Do you even know where we're going?" *She looked around for the shop they were searching for*
Michele
"There" *He said pointing at a shop that sold herbs* "I'm pointing at a herb shop" *He said after realizing she's blind in the day* "We can try it mixing in blood with food. That way you don't even have to do the whole 'blood'-part to begin with. It would also be better than tapping it straight from the source as you won't go over board. Just think about how much better you could live by simply adding blood to tee or soup." *He then looked at her with a serious expression* "The cup would be so you're not drinking directly from me or any other animals"
Julio
"I don't think it works that way, It needs to be relatively fresh and it goes sour rather quickly. I'm sure that's why *They* Get such a bad name for themselves." *Even though she has been a vampire for years now, the identity conflict was still raging. Although it was unintentional she sometimes uses we or they in conversation. She couldn't really imagine using a cup to feed with. The reason why she and most other vampires bite the neck is because it makes it harder for their victim to move. While relying on Okami to guide her to the Herb shop, she closed her eyes. She imagined a situation where Okami was filling a cup with his own blood for her drink which made her realize something.* "Are you sure they'll even have a cup large enough?"
Michele
*He stopped at he looked at her quite concerned* "How much were you exactly planning on drinking. One cup a day should be more than enough, don't you think?" *He would then continue into the her shop. Their senses were immediately hit with the intense arouras* "Oh, I just love this smell"
Julio
*She supposed she didn't know how much daily blood she needed to avoid the bloodlust. She always starved herself so her impact on the animals around her would be less, at least she thought. She could try things Okami's way, she owed him that much.* "I guess we coul-" *Then the fragrance filled her senses as well. The scent was wonderful and she found herself enjoying it as well. Sure it was a little on the strong side having all these herbs condensed in a single location but it beat smelling the horses for the past couple hours. For the first time since leaving the forest she felt connected to nature. All the plants in the shop slowly turned their leaves to point at Manon as her subconscious use of her nature magic enthralled the plants. It took her several seconds to realize what she was doing before she apologized.* "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking." *Bowing to the shop owner for her apology as well.*
Michele
*The shop owner didn't mind. She herself had seen this happen allot. And Okami wasn't exactly a stranger to his business. She would eye the two and before she could say anything, Kibaru spoke first* "She lost her classes and I don't want to loose her like I did yesterday. She owes me quite allot and I don't want that investment to just disappear" *He said quickly. The woman nodded and they started trade*
Julio
*She opened her mouth to question what was going on but figured now wasn't the time. Instead she simply stood at Okami's side with her arm looped around his. She could've placed the umbrella away while indoors but decided against it. The transaction didn't seem like it would take long enough for her to put it down anyways. Instead she closed her eyes and focused on the plants around her, feeling and probing the energies that her nature magic could pick up on. She missed the forest, this herb shop reminded her how far she traveled. It also reminded how deafening the stone walls and wooden buildings made her feel too. She was thankful that she was in good company, for the most part.*
Michele
*After a bit Kibaru would soon finish his busyness with quite a decent size bag* "Ok. Let's got to go buy something for Pitch." *He said not wanting to actually disturb her right now. But best he did*
Julio
*She opened her eyes once more and nodded at him. It was short-lived but it gave her relief. She tried her best to hang onto the herb shop as they walked away until she moved too far and felt nothing once more. It was rather noticeable when it happened because she gave out a sigh. Guess we're back to this again. She extended the hand that wasn't holding the umbrella to Okami, offering to take the bag of supplies from him. It was going to happen eventually unless he planned to carry both plants and horse supplies.* "Back to your earlier question, I don't know how much blood I need daily. I've always waited until the last moment."
Michele
"You are seriously one of the most stupid little girls I've met. Starving yourself as a vampire is how you hurt people. Many many other have followed that path and all of them are not 6 foot deep" *He did seem a little angry at what she said, but he would sigh and relax* "I'll carry them." *He said as he trough the bag over his shoulder* "Just focus on where you're stepping. I don't want to go tumbling to the ground with you"
Julio
*It came as a shock to get reprimanded for feeding less on living things. Maybe because it was Okami but she took it more seriously than she wanted to. Her arm slid from around his but she didn't step away. Occasionally brushing shoulders with him. She could see well enough to not trip things directly in front of her. But as long as the the sunlight was not blocked by clouds, all the bright surfaces were almost bright white lights in her eyes. If everything was illuminated by firelight, there wouldn't be a single issue. It seemed to be only the sun that created this issue, and her own radiant magic*
Michele
"Don't be salty. I know you don't want to hurt people. But you have to realize not taking care of yourself first puts you in no position to take care of others" *He said as one of his tails kept contact with her* "If you want to experiment a little to ensure you don't hurt people. Then I would be happy to help you learn more of yourself. You'll be so much more in control and able to help out much more people if you knew a little more about your little curse"
Julio
"This curse isn't little though. I don't think sinking my fangs into other living creatures as an experiment is very considerate either. I don't want to hurt anything, I just.." *She didn't really feel like continuing this conversation. She was thankful for his offer to help and would probably accept it in some way or another.* "If I do agree to feed from you again, promise that you'll stop me from hurting you if I can't stop." *She needed this reassurance from him, If he couldn't stop her when she lost control then she wouldn't dare try learning more about herself. In fact, she would probably just go back to a forest and live there forever. As sad as it was to leave behind dead animals, all of which she dug holes and buried them properly. It was better than claiming a human life.*
Michele
"Sorry to tell you this. But I'm not about to die just because you became thirsty... I don't know how to say it. But if it came down to it... I'd much rather take your life than give up my own." *He said in a cold tone. Sure he was kind. But he wasn't going to let those he cared for suffer because he valued others lives over his own* "So I'll make sure to stop you, don't you worry. But then you should have fun with the experiments. Animals I hunt I will drain their blood and we can test with it... It kind of makes me glad to know it's blood will also be of use. Rather than just being thrown away. Other than that. I'll lend you some of my blood. We'll see how much you need. How long it can sustain you and how to add a little flavour to it. So have fun with it"
Julio
*She still didn't understand how she could have fun with this. Taking a life wasn't much of a joke. She agreed that maybe she could use the blood of the animals he already hunted.* "It's a little contradictive to say you'll take my life and then not to worry." *If anything his words made her want to decline his offer entirely. Manon hesitated for a couple of minutes as she weighed the pros and cons before finally agreeing to his offer.* "I can't imagine I'll be with you and Terrel for much longer. Pig man is itching to get rid of me, I can feel it. But until then, I'll try things you wish to try, just don't try and make me sick" *With that she looped her arm with his once more, bringing it close to her body.* "I won't let you kill me either, by the way."
Michele
"That's good. One should value one's life above all else" *He said with a pat on her head* "I'll try my best to not make you sick. No promises. And that' why we'll be experimenting. You can ask butchers to buy animal meat with as much blood as possible. Just tell them you want to use the blood with make the sauce taste more like the meat. Maybe even hunt for yourself. I can do more then just lend you my blood. We can experiment and you'll learn from it. Learn how to survive better" *He said as they came to a stop. He would look around before going to the left*
Julio
*She couldn't lie, everything he said sounded repulsive to her. Who knows how long butcher meat sat in the shop. Sure the meat would be fresh but the blood probably wouldn't be.* *She stopped along side him, instead of searching her surroundings she looked up at him.* "Why did we st-" *Before she could finish she was pulled to the left with him. She knew how much men hated asking for directions.* "You know- If you're lost you could always ask for help." *She pulled him to the right a little, towards a random person.* "Like this lovely person."
Michele
"Yo. Know of any shops close by that sells materials!?" *Kibaru's question was little intimidating. He did care about asking directions. He just rather not talk to random people if he could help it. He preferred to keep talk to business*

*The random person would point them towards a shop he was already heading in. His smug look when they gave direction was visible. Almost scaring the person* "Thank you so much. I appreciate it very much. Come on let's go" *He said before starting to walk towards the shop* "I still got it"
Julio
"Oh yes, such a charmer with words. I wouldn't be surprised if they called the guards on you." *She was biting back the laugh. His ego was cute but it also showed up at the most random of times.* "Do you talk to everyone like that?" *Just as she looked up to judge his reaction, something caught her foot. It was a second later that she came crashing down to the ground, the umbrella launching forward as she crashed into the rock. She paused for a few second before recollecting her umbrella. Maybe she was blind in the daylight after all. She hurried forward with the most unamused look upon her face.* "Shut up." *She said to Okami.*
Michele
*Kibaru had this open smile with his fangs showing. He was trying his best not to laugh, but was failing. His body would be shaking from the quite laughter from his stomach as he tried to hold it in. He would help her up though and slight tear could be seen from his eyes* "Second day in a row" *He said. It was clear he wanted to say he saw this coming though. He did call it out and it happened at the most convenient time*
Julio
*She whipped around and punched him in the stomach. The level of embarrassment was highlighted on her cheeks, Actually her entire face was red now.* "I blame you." *She spun back around while holding her umbrella slightly higher than normal. Making sure all he saw was the purple fabric of the umbrella with her silhouette being visible past the cloth. He must've saw whatever it was and intentionally move in that direction, it was the only way. Their arms were linked after all. Her palms were a little sore but nothing to complain about, her ankle hurt most though.*
Michele
"Ok. I've had my fill now. You alright?" *He asked as he moved her umbrella side to side, playing with little amount of protection she had. He tried his best not to tease her about having already warned her. It was in his nature to play with his prey... Well only with the prey he doesn't actually hunt*
Julio
"I.Am.Fine." *She annunciated every word, going so far to turning away from him even more. She wanted to keep the umbrella between the two of them. In doing she she almost tripped once again, though she didn't fall to the ground just stumbled over a rock that was sticking up from the path.* "I hate it here." *She could hardly see with the sunlight, things didn't move out of her way like they did in the forest. Manon exhaled sharply, she stopped walking long enough for Okami to take the lead once more.* "Are we almost to this shop, I feel like you're dragging me through this on purpose." *Implying 'this' to whatever route he decided on.*
Michele
*He would only continue to play with her umbrella* "We can continue as soon as I know you're okay" *He said with a now calm voice*
Julio
*She felt it was a little redundant to ask a healer if they're okay. She could heal the majority of wounds as long as they weren't immediately life threatening. She understood what he was trying to do and allowed herself to play into it as well. Manon turned around and extended one of her hands towards him. It wasn't terribly scraped from tripping but there was a scratch that was deep enough that some blood was drawn.* "I just scratched myself a little and my ankle hurts but I'll be fine."
Michele
*He would then suddenly lick her blood with her out stretched arm* "Mmm, tasty" *He said with a face that that told her he was examining it. He didn't plan on doing it but he had the sudden urge to play with her a little more. Maybe it would make her less tense* "Tastes like iron. I like that taste"
Julio
*She stared up at him from underneath her umbrella. There has been plenty of rumors that consuming the blood of a vampire is how one turns. It was never proven but was too much of a risk to test now of all times. She pulled her arm from his grasp, her face more in shocked than anything.* "What happens if you get sick because you just did that?!" *She wished she had a water bottle for him to wash his mouth out with.* "Why did you do that?!"
Michele
"It would suck if I became one, wouldn't it. You'd no longer have fresh meals I guess *He said not having a care in the world* "You had some of mine, so I wanted to see what the fuss was about"
Julio
*She gave him an incredulous look.* "That is not how things work out!" *She closed her umbrella for a brief moment just so she could smack him upside his head with it.* "Don't do that again, you might get sick." *She began walking forward even with her limited senses. They had plenty of things to buy if they're going to travel once more.* "You don't even need it to survive." *Manon needed to get that bit out before she dropped the subject entirely. She'd have to tell Terrel about Okami's reckless behaviour*

As if to reply to his statement about cleaning wounds a faint glow emanated from her body. A couple seconds later she lifted her arm back up him to examine. The only races of a wound that remained was a bit of blood and that was it.* "Now that I know you're going to be reckless, there won't be a next time."
Michele
"I've survived two swords straight to the gut." *He proclaimed at he hit his chest with pride* "A boar is nothing"

You even let a wild animal get one over you. AND a healer." *She wondered how many other attacks did he lose. If she was able to overpower him, everything and everyone else who was stronger than her could*
