*She tried to fly as little as possible, a bat silhouette against the slightly blue sky would be more noticeable than something small crawling along the buildings in the shadows. Perched up on the roof, she waited for the guards to disperse before making her way down and then reforming in a crouching position. A small, delicate hand reached out from the black backdrop and carefully pulled it in. Well, she had it, now she had to figure out how to smuggle it back. She had to cover it so it wouldn't reflect off any light source and give her away. Hugging it against her body, she made haste and went behind the buildings rather than in front so she could use their shadows as leverage.

This worked, well, surprisingly well all things considered. Most people would still be asleep by now or at the tavern drinking the night away. Her biggest struggle, was now that she was at the back of the inn how was she going to get it inside? She looked left, then right, then scurried up the side of the building as though it were normal terrain. Once she was on the roof, she came face to face with a ticking clock... Dawn. She was running out of time. 

Drat, drat, drat! She'd draw too much attention as a young girl just walking into a window... So she'd fall into the shape of a bat and hoist the sword up in her little claws. It took a try or two... Or three to get accustomed to the weight. Thank god for adrenaline, without it she wouldn't have been able to hover in front of the window with the fear of dropping it. She was able to slip herself inside the room but the hilt got caught a bit. It didn't really make any noise but she was already straining as it was. She felt like her feet were going to rip off.

With one great hoist, she fell onto the bed with the sword, instantly transforming back. It took energy to maintain that form... And if she had gotten inside the room a second too late both she and the sword would have clattered to the ground. She was spent, without blood, she had used up

What she had. Shutting the window, she quickly closed the curtains and crawled under the bed. She wasn't stupid. She hugged the sword protectively against her and wrapped the cloak around them both. Bad men could break into the room, but if they did she doubted they would look where she hid. She did good. She did good *
John
*Was eating his food he wondered if she was ok as he ate and drank, soon there was a group of people from the tavern coming up to him his eyes remained on his food to mind his own business* `"Mm... Mmm"` *He was enjoying his food until one of the men spoke*
Roberto
`"Hey boy it's rude to ignore someone standing next to you trying to get your attention!"`

*He would smack his hand the the table with a loud bang, as he had four others around the table.*
John
*Heard the smack, and his plate jolted slightly looking up to see the man quietly with a soft sigh his tired eyes and face didn't look like he wanted to deal with this.* `"You have my attention..."` *He would say.*
Roberto
`"You aren't here to cause any trouble are yah mate? We're here to make sure that you don't maybe I should put some manners into you boy."`

*He would attempt to smack the boy with strength and force behind it.*
John
*Leaned back as he closed his mouth seeing the smack coming he kicked off the seat flipping the table over onto the man then back stepping as his fist ignited into blood magic. He was punched in the face by the guy on the right he stepped to regained his footing the guy in the center ran forward grabbing his waist slamming him into the wall with a loud thud! And crash from the downstairs area.*
Roberto
*As the boy was causing trouble for them the first guy who got knocked over by the table began to push it over as the boy was being held against the wall he would see the man who grabbed his waist and pin him get kicked in the jaw then thrown to the side followed by a boot to the face, knocking him clean out with blood splattering on the floor he would run forward as two other men walked quickly forward as Faedon began to throw right hooks and left hooks side stepping with his magic infused in his fist he sent the other one to the floor now only two left he managed to sneak up to him and he picked up a chair running forward shattering it on his back then taking one of the legs

*As he went down he thwacked him hard in the face knocking him to the ground he would pant lowering himself grabbing the boys face*

`"Shouldn't have messed with us boy!"`
John
*He would be panting as his face was head and his vision blurry from being hit in the face he would feel his face being grabbed he would groan but he grabbed the mans ankle and yanked him to the floor with a loud thud the man came crashing down his friend kicked his stomach he gasped loudly feeling all the air escape his lungs as he held his stomach, gasping then the man got ontop of him and wrapped his hands around his throat he started getting choked as he placed his hands on the mans chest one on his face.

 His face started turning red with his eyes straining as his legs were kicking at the ground his fist had blood swirling around it he managed to push the man up and hit him with the right, left, and straight shattering the mans jaw coughing heavily rolling to his knees, he couldn't give up he had to protect the girl he slowly started crawling to his feet as he looked for the guy he knocked down. He would then get a boot in his face with a kick he had lost consciousness for a few moments he was out cold.*
Alice
*Blood? Oh hey... She knows that smell. The clash and clatter downstairs she can hear very clearly, as though she were in the very same room. Quietly creeping out from under the bed, she hugged the sword against her chest and slowly rose to her feet. Every so stealthily opening the door, she'd put up her hood and calmly make her way down the stairs. She moved slowly so as to fade into the background and not attracted attention. She was short, and covered in a neutral color and the fight probably commanded most of the attention in the room anyway.

She needed a way to gain power over that gathered attention, and figured the best way was... Well, not the safest way. Confiscating an open bottle of who knows what from a patron's table... It was not even halfway gone. It was Vodka for the audience out there, holding a whopping 60% in alcohol content. She slid down the side of the bar with her back against it, and just sort of... Tipped the bottle over. It made glugging sounds as the liquid spilled out all over the floor. No one seemed to notice the puddle forming... Because who would? Now she didn't have fire magic or flint or matches, so this would be interesting. She couldn't turn into a bat anymore... But above her head was an oil lamp. Silly humans and their silly need to see in the dark.

It was bolted into the wall, so she couldn't just knock it over, she'd have to lift it... Which was fine. She'd stand up with her back now against the wall, lift it, and then drop it. The flames surged real quick and spread fast to any dry wooden surface it could find... Especially surfaces drenched in vodka. Here she would make a break for it as many panicked tavern attendees did. Blending in with the panic she'd make her way over to Faedon and give him a couple taps to the face. She did a thing, she wouldn't tell him she did a thing, but she did need him conscious. Like... Now.*
Roberto
*As she was plotting the man stood over the boy as he pants rubbing his bloody nose he looks down upon him before kicking his stomach again, then stomping on his face, he would lift his body up by his shirt clasping his shirt tightly he would punch boys face and incur a beating onto the unconscious male, until a fire started in the back of the inn, he dropped the male as he stood up he needed to get his friends out he would pick one of his friends out leave come back grab another then leave them his last then leave, he would then run to ring the bell in the center of the town indicating a fire, all the members and patrons of the tavern got up and began to run out, this was fairly a quick reaction they began to line up getting multiple buckets handing it from one person to the next the small village came together quickly as if life breathed into an empty jar, people shattering but also coming together.*
John
*Admits the chaos she would be standing over him to try and wake him up, with taps to his bloodied face, he would groan as it felt like he had been hit by a horse at all full speed, his eyes slowly fluttered opened before his vision began to come into view he would see her face, as she was over him he saw something she didn't even admit this chaos the man had came back to see the young lady trying to help him he would get angry and push her off Faedon with a shove as the fire was being put out with the buckets, but it was still blazing and started spreading to other areas, the man would stand over the girl*

`"You want to protect your little friend huh! I'll give you what he got!"`

*He would raise his hand and try to smack her as hard as he could. Faedon was slowly realizing what was going on he would roll over onto his knees his head resting on the ground, holding his stomach in pain he would be able to get up soon he hoped she was ok.*
Alice
*She didn't take being shoved lightly, and she didn't take the blatant disrespect from nothing but a human speck. He'd dare speak that way to a vampiress? How fortunate that they lived in a world where accidents happened. How accidental that, through the smoke and flames you could see not but fire and smog. How accidental, that her teeth found their way into his right subclavian artery when she bumped into him. What an accident, when they plunged the six centimeters into that vein and sucked. Him. **Dry.** 

Severing that artery would render an adult unconscious in 15 seconds, and death in as little as 90 seconds. However. He was not bleeding out naturally, his life was siphoned away from him in 11.8 seconds. It tasted **Horrendous** And **Terrible** And she almost threw it back up but she had work to do. The only metal nearby was the sword... And before the fire was put out completely, she'd heat the end until it glowed red. Pressing that against the marks she had left behind on the corpse of a one, sad human being... It would be a couple days before the mortuary would find his body drained of every drop of blood, they had only that long to leave this place.

No apparent evidence, the fire would be the culprit as many watched him run in and out to save his comrades... It was a perfect alibi. And no witnesses... Well... There was **One.** She would hand him back his sword, in doing this she would give him a choice. Her eyes faded into a pink hue as she really had no justification of killing this man other than, well, he was going to kill one of her own. And she took that personally.*
John
*Stood up slowly after regaining himself among the smog and smoke he would cough a little covering his face with his shirt he would pick up the blade after she was done, and put it on his waist watching her sucking him dry it was a gruesome sight seeing someone getting there life sucked out of them within mere moments the mans eyes filled with terror and horror for his last few moments all his confidence had faded as he fell to the ground.

He would move towards one of the torches uses the smoke as cover and lite the mans clothes on fire to hide the fact he was killed unnaturally even though her plan was good it would still arise some suspicions he would then stumble slightly pick up his little vampire friend and stumble up the stairs a bit as he held her in a princess carry, towards the room once they were inside he would gently set her on the bed before sitting on the bed as well rubbing his jaw and his face as it was sore downstairs the panic was continuing but it had been fully put out after around 20 minutes and the mans body charred to blackness he was embarssed he lost the fight and looked away from her not knowing what to say except* `"I'm sorry..."`
Alice
*She saw him pick up the torch, and shielded herself with her arms but was surprised to find he didn't strike her with it or plunge the wood into her chest. She was confused, and a little beside herself. She killed a human, a human being, a full adult man for the first time in her whole life. She felt... Disgusted and not just from the taste in her mouth. 

Once inside the room... She had to stumble from the bed to get to the bathroom in time. All that blood she held in she couldn't contain anymore. Not all blood was the same, it was why his blood was chosen out of the many she had seen walk by. It was akin to why donors had to match, you just couldn't mix some things together. She hated the taste, she hated how she felt, and if she had a reflection she'd hate that too. Personal morals were a hell of a thing to break... Just cause or not.

She'd she'd quiet tears in the privacy behind the door, and cover her mouth to muffle the sound of an emotional relapse. Was she a monster now? No better than her predecessors? She had never taken a life with her bite. That was her policy. That was her moral code. For two hundred and fifteen years... And if you didn't have your own code what did you have left? When she regained her composure, and only when she regained her composure did she step out of the bathroom and apologize.*

"It is alright, if you depsise me. I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do so I became a monster.."
John
*Would pant as he finally caught his breath, his vision returned to normal, as she stumbled from the bed he sprung up quickly and helped her gently holding her waist and leaned her on his side. He became worried about her as he helped her to the bathroom, she probably expected him to not follow to not help her, to let her go by herself to suffer but no he didn't. He spoke with a gentle kind worried voice, `"It's ok I don't hate you it's ok to cry..."`

Upon her making it to the bathroom he would gently kneel beside her and pull her into a soft hug she wouldn't have to step out the bathroom to apologize as he was right there with her holding her with his soft warm touch.*

`" You have no reason to apologize your not a monster your a person just like me don't ever call yourself a monster!"`

*He would gently place his hand on her cheek as he looked her in her eyes, even though his face was beaten up bruised and swollen in some places he tried to comfort her. The best he could he didn't know how to comfort her never had this comfort, before but he did what he felt was right he wanted her to feel safe, feel safe enough to cry and come to her with issues she may be struggling with even though sometimes they butt heads he spoke again gently pulling her head into his shoulder his hand gently rubbing her back as he closed his eyes breathing slightly ragged from the brutal beating.*

`"It's ok... I'm here for you..."`
Alice
*She remembered the vampires that day... How they wanted vengeance on the humans. She wanted him to know she was not aligned with them... That she didn't take his life just to take it... And that he couldn't despise her more than she despised herself. Eventually... She had worn herself out mentally, physically, and emotionally. The sun was out, and she had passed out from exhaustion. A luxurious lifestyle never gave her the energy to carry on like this.

She would sleep until a little after sundown, hopefully he'd find a doctor or at least a health potion of some sort. He had the gold to afford it, and maybe if the village didn't catch what she had done, he'd be able to aquire a cart and two horses. If he got one before sundown thay was fine, she'd sleep on the way... But during daylight hours most of the responsibilities would fall on him.*
John
*Would hold her as she had slowly passed out in his arms he would slowly lift her up in his arms and gently set her down in the bed he would grab the blanket and gently tuck her in, with a weak smile he stood up grabbed a spare bed sheet covered the window, before coming back, setting a chair gently beside the bed.

Taking out a white cloth he poured some water from his canteen onto it gently, leaning over the bed his fingers gently brushed her hair from her face as he gently cleaned her mouth from the blood before throwing away the cloth, he drew his sword and set the point on the ground as he refused to move from this spot until he knew she was ok, he was as stubborn as a bull he refused to sleep, refused to heal himself he would guard her no matter what as his emerald eyes glinted red facing towards the door in a menacing posture, his ears focused in case he would hear her call for his help or anything, as the hours began to pass he would occasionally nod off but force himself awake scared as he looks at her but as he sees her sleeping peacefully he can't help but smile, but as day came he would sit there quietly pondering, as the sun began to set with the hours passing he hadn't moved all to much other then to check on her and made sure she was ok. As the sun was setting the moon began to rise slowly once more he knew she would be upset that he didn't handle none of the responsibilities he was supposed to handle but what were any of things worth if he couldn't be with her?*
Marion
Passive healing ability, blood mana boost if he channels his blood magic through his body and the surrounding area of 20 feet around him all his allies that have small cuts and scratches heal slowly when used it sends a wave of dark and red blood magic around in every direction can only be used in bursts in 6 turn interval's he can also just use it to heal himself if he is resting or doing nothing.

I feel he has a stern... Lesson coming his way from her...(
Alice
*She awoke when the sun set, as it was her first time sleeping in a place outside of her room she mumbled something in Romanian... The language of Vampires was often split between Slavic and Romanian. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around and was in a state of panic before she saw Faedon... He looked like he hadn't moved. What of the cart? What of food? She had to hurry. Her hair was... Well, a little disheveled but again... No reflection. She muttered under her breath as she paced, tying the cloak around her shoulders. Was he always this neglectful of his well being?*

"Faedon... Doctor" *Those were the only words she could speak to him right now without verbally scolding him into the ground. After all she had done to keep him alive, after all of that? She would gently tug his arm, it was already night... The time he was supposed to be asleep. This would be the second day without it.*
John
*Would sheathe his sword as she had awoke he looked worried even though his eyes were exhausted and dark circles had appeared, as he saw her he sighs seeing she was ok. She thought he was neglectful of his well being but she didn't know of his passive healing ability... He also did this to ensure no one tried to break in to hurt her.*

*He opened his mouth to speak but his arm was grabbed and he would be tugged outside the room downstairs and into village he could finally speak while still being dragged around.*

`"There is the stables they seem to have a few cart's. You go get the doctor, that's in that small house over there ill get the horses and carriage to birds one stone, it won't take long once it's done I'll rest on the road while we are out of here."`

*In truth he wasn't able to sleep he was paranoid the guards would try to kill her, or kill him then he wouldn't be able to protect her he handed her some of her gold and he went to the stables, he had walked towards it and looked for the owner upon finding him he began to speak to him about one of his best carriages and handed him 3 pieces of gold he was to exhausted to barter or trade so he would just give him the coin and get the horse. He would begin to put the straps on the horse lead it to the carriage and tied the horse to the front of the carriage it was a black stallion a beast of a horse bigger then normal horses and extremely muscular.*
Alice
*She'd nod fervently once given her task, and was careful to keep her hood up to cover most of her face. Off she ran, all the way up to the house but she was stopped by an unfortunate circumstance. She'd knock quickly, but only three times so as to portray urgency but also decency. Clutching a hand against her chest, she awaited someone to open the door. It was a woman.* "Please excuse the intrusion at such an hour, but my companion is in need of assistance. May I please come in?" *Only once she was escorted in would she be allowed to surpass the threshold of the door. As a vampire, she was unable to enter a home unles invited in. Ins, taverns and other public places were not exactly applicable to that rule as they were not a persons home.

From the doctor, she paid five gold for three red healing potions. She described his symptoms as mostly physical, and he said this should heal physical wounds. For viruses or diseases that was different, but she didn't think he had any such problems. She didn't know if it would help his fatigue at all... But at least it would heal any internal or external wounds he may have accumulated in that fight. Rushing out of the house, she looked left and then right... Where were the stables? She held the three vials protectively in her arms as she seemed to be a little bit lost.

It took asking two seperate people... One woman and one child and eventually she found him. She was out of breath, and her hood fell back as she presented him with her haul.* "I've got- I've got them-" *The horse startled her... She had never seen a fully grown real one before. She jumped a bit as he stomped his hoof, and she wanted to touch him.* "What... What is his name?" *She'd ask, looking to Faedon so that she could address the animal properly.*
John
*Waited patiently he was about to go looking for her as he assumed something may have happened he sighed in relief upon seeing her, as she came he would see her holding the healing potions cradling them in her arms, he would gently take them and set them in the back of the carriage, he had bought a couple of blankets a 2 pillows and rations water for the road. He would slowly smile as he looked towards her* `"His name is Aslan, he is supposedly a hell horse... A horse that can breathe fire, and shoot fireballs but it won't harm it's owner's which is now us."`

*He would place his hand gently on her head with a tired smile before complimenting her* `"You did great I'm proud of you, I got rations for myself, a pillow 2 thick quilt to lay on the carriage ground so it's not rock hard it's equivalent to a pillow mattress."` *He says quite proud* `"It also weighs almost nothing and I have pillows and blankets, among a few other things."`

*We the horse neighed and shook it's head Faedon gently took her hand very slowly and gently guided it towards the horses muzzle as her hand would make it to the horses muzzle it would chuff and lower it's head knowing she wasn't a threat to it* `"He likes you more then me It seems."`

*He chuckled before speaking again gently letting go of her hand.* `"Come let me teach you how to steer the carriage."` *He would climb to the front and offer his hand to her.*
Alice
"Aslan..." *She repeated, never looking away even after he took the health potions out of her arms. Hesitantly, she walked forward to place a hand gently on his neck, chuckling softly as the stallion released a sigh that blew her hair back. She looked up at Faedon and smiled, she didn't know what this creature ate but she hoped it wasn't vampires. When she was praised... She was a little taken aback but she really needed to hear it. Especially with how hard she had been on herself the night before, she really appreciated it.* "Ahh... So we'll be comfortable" 

*When her hand went towards Aslans nose, she recoiled as she feared getting bit... Ironically. But he seemed to like her, and that made her heart flutter. She vowed to do her best to take very good care of him. She wanted to hug him, but would respect his space... She was still a stranger to him after all so she would bow, and thank him for going along with them before climbing onto the carriage. Sitting beside Faedon, she felt really tall up here.*

 "Alright, please instruct me on what to do.." *She was nervous, but she had faith in Aslan to have patience with her.* "I want to be gentle... I do not wish to harm him" *He was their friend now, and as long as they were kind to him, he would be kind to them. Mutual respect existed with more than just people.*
John
*Would gently place her hands on the reigns before guiding her to give it a gentle whip like motion it didn't hurt the horse but it told him he could move forward he would then speak*

`"You pull the reigns backwards to stop the horse you pull to the right of you want him to go right you pull to the left if you want him to go left don't tug to hard if you do you risk the carriage falling over him getting confused and even spooked only tiny little adjustments will be necessary to pick up speed you give it a rough whip motion it tells him you want to go faster but don't do that as it could damage the carriage."`

*He would give it a gentle whip motion as the horse chuffed and began to pull forward it was a strong horse it barely struggled as it moved forward the carriage heading out of the village he would show her tugging gently to the left then right to follow the path of the village, correctly as he made sure she was watching, before he would he would gently scoot over and place it in her hands guiding her how to lead the horse*

`"Make sure he stays on the stone path at all times, the carriage can go on dirt but if it's mud it will get stuck can even break a wheel."`

*He would gently pat her head with a tired smile*

`"I believe in you, you can do this!"`

*He wod cheer her on as he waited and watched closely ready to help wherever she needed it.*
Alice
*She was very studious, as her upbringing was nothing but so she would catch on fairly quickly. It was fairly simple, and the mechanisms were easy to pick up. She understood what to do, and what not to do, and became confident once she had the reins in her hands for a little bit. She'd nod assuredly* "Aslan will guide me... With the two of us, we should be alright for you to rest until dawn... Night is the time for humans to sleep." *She'd try to assure him as best as she could, and she would feel more prepared now now with his instructions. They would stay on the stone path, and if there was trouble she would call for him.*

"You know, I've only seen pictures of horses in picture books and even then it wasn't very extensive. Oh, I've yet to introduce myself. My name is Ai.." *She spoke to Aslan like a proper person rather than a baby or a pet. She felt it right to introduce herself since they would be together from now on.* "I'm a vampire... I hope you don't mind. I don't drink horse blood however so you can rest assured.." *This pleasant conversation would continue even if Faedon decided to go into the carriage to sleep.*
John
*Would smile as he she assured him she would be alright for the rest of the night as they began to leave the village as he was looked on the brink of passing out from sleep exhaustion his eyes darted around as he looked at her before giving her a soft hug whispering into her ear* `"Your not a monster your my friend."` *Before he would climb into the back and quietly shut the door as he began to snuggle into the quilt and covered himself in a blanket his head sinking into the pillow he gently picked up the healing potion took a sip before plugging it and falling asleep quietly*
Alice
*She was happy to be out and away from that village. She confided in Aslan... The terrible thing she had done. Taking a life for the first time and how it felt and what she thought. Talking to him made her feel... A little bit better. A lot of her words were spoken barely above a whisper so their human Faedon could sleep, but she very excited for the company.* 

"Could I tell you, my biggest secret?" *She'd tilt her head to one side with her hands gently on the reigns. She'd smile softly, and say the words without speaking at all. She had never told anyone and well, even though she couldn't put vocals behind it that was the closest she ever got. Swinging her legs back and fourth, she looked up at the sky and was amazed at all of the stars she could see. They reflected in her eyes as they rode along together. Her world just got a whole lot bigger.

Traveling at night was now her favorite thing to do. She saw fireflies, shooting stars, she heard owls and birds she couldn't recognize at all. At one point, she even saw a fox... Not a big one, but a young adult. She was going to tell Faedon everything.*
John
*Was still out cold midday came he rubbed his eyes almost all his wounds were completely healed, when he had rested his internal and external wounds were all gone except for a few bruises on his ribs and stomach. As he lifted his head up he looked around the inside of the carriage quickly looking for Yume, as he was worried he reaches for his sword his white hair was a total mess without the head band he wore it fell down across his face entirely the feather in his hair was still there but it blended in so well it could hardly be seen.*

`"Yuma, are you ok?"`
Alice
*It was pitch black inside the carriage, which was perfect because she would be in a lot of trouble if it wasn't. The carriage was also stopped, and outside Aslan was not hooked up to it anymore. She wanted him to be able to fight or run in case something happened and he wouldn't have that ability being hooked up to a carriage. They found a pretty good spot along the way... It was next to a field and a small little creek. Aslan would either be grazing, drinking, sleeping, or doing the things that horses do. He wasn't too far away, and would be well within eyesight as he was in fact a dark color contrast in comparison to his bright surroundings. 

Ai would be asleep near the entrance, covered in a blanket and semi curled in a ball. When she heard her last name, she groggily sat up and rubbed her eyes with a yawn.* "Ai..." *She managed to utter sleepily. Her last name was Yume, and you only addressed someone by their last name to be formal and cordial. If that was all, she'd lay back down and go back to sleep.*
John
*Smiles softly seeing she was alright, as she was curled up to the entrance of the carriage he would gently place his hand on her head, after she layed back down then he would get up and carefully open the door making sure little no light came in, nothing touched her then he closed it before putting two fingers in his mouth whistling for Aslan to come to him. He had took a small bag of apples with himself, and held one out for Aslan once the horse came trotting gracefully back he watched him sniff the apple for a a few moments before either began to munch away until it was finished as the horse licked his fingers he chuckled 

He would gently lead him by the reigns quietly began to hook him up to the carriage, glad the horse didn't wander away he would gently rub his fingers through his own hair to fix it before climbing onto the seat he would whip the reigns and they would begin to move back towards the main path, his eyes focused on everything before him. He wondered where this road will take them, not knowing anything about this new kingdom at all he kept his sword close to him*
Alice
*Just that brief speck of light of the door opening made her scoot further into the carriage and pull the blanket over her head. It was her fault, she should have moved further in the first place but she wanted to keep an eye on the outside for as long as she could and ended up falling asleep. She would remain asleep until six or seven in the evening. Sitting up with a stretch, she felt the motion of the carriage and looked around for a bit before reaching for the door. She couldn't see outside, so she'd hesitate.*

"Faedon? Is it safe to come out?" *She'd call to him, to which no. It wasn't. It would be soon but she wanted to tell him about everything she had seen last night. She'd neatly fold everything up and tidy the inside as she awaited a reply. Picking up one of the health potions, it looked like a brighter shade of blood. She wondered what it tasted like... But was not bold enough to test it.*
John
`"It's not safe to come out the sunlight is still dangerous for you, may I ask how long have I been asleep my body still hurts here and there. Are you alright though are you hurt at all?"`

*If she would open the cork to the health potion it would smell like raspberries, but taste like a very thick version of it and a little sweet*

`"I hope I didn't wake you up I was just a little startled is all when I woke up, oh also let me help you with your hair in a few you can't use a mirror so I can help if you want, I used to help my sister with her hair alot so I know what to do. Then after could you help me with mine it's time to change my hair color so people won't recognize me from that village."`
Alice
*Sitting down on her knees, she was getting a little restless.* "I slept for.. Let's see..." *Not counting when he woke up that was maybe* "Ten hours." *She said with a nod of affirmation. She didn't like what he said after that however, and she puffed her cheeks in agitation.* "You didn't drink all three of these.." *Not how health potions worked.* "That is probably why your body isn't at one hundred percent. I am alright, I am also not the one who received multiple beatings." *That's all she would say, and she would end it abruptly because she didn't want to recollect on it.*

"Is it safe now?" *It hadn't even been fifteen minutes... He didn't known it, but this was about to feel like the longest two hours of his life.* "How... How did you know I couldn't use a mirror?" *Actually, on that point* "You have a sister? Where is she?" *Ai was an only child, so she didn't understand the infatuation behind another person competing in your space all of the time.* "Is it safe to come out now?" *Her position changed to her sitting with her legs outstretched in front of her, and her moving her feet backnand fourth. 

Placing her hands in her lap, she questioned her ability to style hair.* "I don't want to change my hair.." *She would help him with his, but she liked her white hair the way it was.* "Are you going to dye it black? Liek Aslans?" *And not shortly after she'd ask once more.* "Is it safe to come out now?.."
John
`"Well, that was more then I expected I stood up all night to watch over you."` *As she mentioned he didn't drink all of them he would shake his head but she couldn't see it he would chalk it up to him being to tired.* `"I was to tired alright... I drank one of them."` *He smiles but as. She mentioned he was the one who got beat up he slowly went quiet as he didn't want to talk about that she may have hurt him there with her words cutting deep like a knife but she was right.*

`"It's not safe at the moment, the sun will be up for a few hours"` *As she asked how he knew she couldn't use a mirror he would speak once more.* `"When your hair was a mess you was fustrated, there was a mirror in the room but you didn't use it so I drew the conclusion. My sister I haven't seen her in, 7 to 8 years, I stopped talking with her she was the favorite child while I was the outcast. I didn't have daddies money or anything I had to work like an average person because they saw her as the future of the house not me."` 

*As she asked again if it was safe to come out he would shake his head again.* `"No it's still not safe it won't be for awhile. I won't dye it black it's going to be brown my hair color changes as I use my blood art to a brownish color but when I don't use it, it stays white so I just want it to stay brown for awhile at least. Im not saying to change your hair either only to help you brush it so it isn't all wild and everywhere you need to pass off as a human right?"` *He would chuckle as he held onto the reigns he understood why she was asking he would be bored to if he had to sit in the back for a long time. The carriage finally hit the main road it became smoother and less bumpy as they were on a smooth dirt path, they were heading north east into the grasslands and scattered forests and villages in the very far distance some couldn't be seen because of the trees.*
Alice
"Then drink another one now. Here. I'll hand it to you." *She carefully took the glass bottle and went to the door before hesitating. Another few hours he said? He needed this now. What if she was quick? It would be ok. While he was talking, she secretly cracked open the- YOWZA! That smarted! Seared her flesh right off. She dropped the health potion in her lap and slapped a hand over her mouth to stiffle the scream, which came out in a squeak.

Her racial trait did start to heal her injury, but she'd be damned if she could stand another minute of that pain. She opened the health bottle with shakey hands, and took a little sip. Sticking out her tongue right after she grimaced.* "Bleh..." *It tasted sickly sweet, not the savory sweet that blood had. But just that bit was enough to heal the scorch on her arm. Didn't even leave a scar. Humans really were extraordinarily crafty.*

"I believe I could pass for a decent human. I've seen- oh! Faedon! Faedon I saw the stars!" *She'd set the bottle down beside the others, and stand up excitedly, turning to face the wall where he was. She described a white silky scarf of stars and clouds (milky way) and large bolts of light that streaked across the sky (shooting stars) and how along the grass there were small bugs of dancing fire (fireflies) and she even described the fox she had seen. She had lived in the city her whole life, the stars were not as prominent as they were all the way out here and it excited her.*
John
`"Don't come out it's not safe!"` *He yelled but he couldn't hear the sound of searing flesh the sun was really that deadly to her, he could hear her soft squeak before gently speaking to Aslan* `"Keep going boy don't worry she will be ok. Drink the health potion it will help with your injury, should I come back there?"`

*He asked softly before she began to tell him about the things she saw this would brighten his mood* `"It sounds like a beautiful sight maybe tonight we can look at it together, and you can point things out to me I haven't seen!"` *He would smile even more as she described fox he thought for a second thought it was a smaller type of dog, he also hadn't been in nature much so they had a lot to experience together.*
Alice
"Eh? Ah... Huh? Hm... I've not a single injury. Surely you must be mistaken" *Now, lying wasn't her forte but how was he going to know? Door was shut, skin was healed- oh drat. Thats right.* "But I did *Taste* The health potion as I was curious you see. It does not taste like blood... It tastes like- like a mouthful of fruity syrup." *That was her story and she was stickin to it*

"Have you been a human your whole life?" *She had a couple of questions.* "What do humans do during the day?" *All she could see them do was walk. Walk up and down the street and sidewalks, walk into the doll shop to purchase some of the wares. She could only watch from the safety of the window but she wanted to know, really, what humans did on a day to day basis.*
John
*Would scoff as she tried to lie to him he had been across the city where liers were encountered on the daily basis he knew she was lying with each word and her saying she tasted the health potion confirmed it.* `"Ok I believe you."` *He laughed softly before listening to her ask what humans did*

`"I'm not just human in half high elf half human, but that's what I know but in honesty I don't know what I am in truth."` *He said this truthfully as she didn't know what he was mentioning but every time he used his blood magic he could feel his body changing he could notice differences in his skin and he was losing his touch with his holy magic. His grace with the gods were failing each time he casted evil magic* `"I wouldn't know from my experience as I had to survive in the slums, I was sold off into slavery to fight in underground fighting rings for kids until I paid off the debts I owed from the people I stole from. They abused there power kept me longer then they should have even after the debt was paid off they didn't let me go, I had to escape when I did I went back to surviving. But most humans are lumberjacks, blacksmiths, farmers, or knights, soldiers they spend most there day doing each of they're days doing there respected jobs."` *He would explain how the average person lived and how most of the average and high class and middle class had good lives didn't have to worry about coin and how birth right, status, wealth meant everything in this world and if you were at the bottom you were probably destined to stay there unless you joined an adventurers guild but that was if you had magical power.*
Alice
"You don't know what you are?" *She'd tilt her head lightly to one side in... Well, confusion because that was as basic an understanding as you could have for yourself. Not to mention, humans were very repetitive. Like cookie cutters. One job... Over and over again every day? She did understand status, the vampires had a somewhat similar hierarchy.* 

"Humans remain humans regardless of their status, correct? With vampires, the lowest of us are not vampires anymore. We call them ferals. They cannot talk or think, they only feed on everyone and everything. I've never seen one, but I have seen their image transcribed on paper before.." *They had no problem eating vampires either, but they mostly fed on wild animals and humans... Anything with a pulse that moved. Walking onto the ceiling of the carriage, she'd lay on her stomach and swing her legs back and fourth* "Is it safe now?"

*There was something else as well... When they got to the next town she wanted to buy fabric. She hadn't brought a change of clothes since she left home in a bit of a hurry.* "If you happen to come across cotton, would you buy some? Its much easier to buy the fabric than the dress itself. Just white cotton. I will be able to dye it easier that way.." *Shoes on the other hand, she didn't know how to make.* "Do you think you would ever want to become a Vampire?" *She didn't have the ability to turn anyone, but she knew of some who did.*
John
`"No I do not I will show you when we make it to our next destination. Ok?"` *He would say he never showed anyone before but she would be the first to see, without him hiding his corruption from other's.*

`"Yes I would say that humans still remain humans. We do have humans that are feral but not because they can't control it but because they enjoy it. There barbarians and would fall under the class of inhuman based on there behavior lack of compassion and any type of love."`

*This was becoming a very deep philosophical conversation as he listened to her talk even more and how vampires had status, he could hear her footsteps walking onto the ceiling of the carriage he would shake his head* `"That's interesting I knew vampires that were old like the oldest are the strongest and most powerful, and that down the ranking it goes the less powerful the vampires become."` *He heard her ask if he could buy cotton, did she know how to make her own dresses he nodded quietly* `"Yes I can don't you worry, I'll get it for you..."` *He paused as she asked if he would ever become a vampire he looked ahead before speaking* `"I don't know I wouldn't be able to go out at night, unless... I use those things I told you about when we first met... I also wouldn't be alive, the sensations of life are different, when your... Alive it's more surreal."` *It was as if he was speaking from some sort of experience but that would be impossible no?*

 `"Why do you
Ask for you wish for me to become a vampire, have you taken to fancy me?"` *He would chuckle softly as the cart slowly came to a stop I'm another village since it was day they wouldn't be hassled about being let in Aslan pulled the carriage to a secure spot away from everyone else. He would slowly get off and go slowly to the door slipping inside making sure the sunlight didn't come in before taking a seat and looking at her softly*
Alice
*When you're alive it's more surreal... That one kind of hurt. It'd get quiet for a little while after that, but he'd get a reaction from the jest he pulled earlier.* "I do not fancy anyone I shall have you know! Not at all, not at all, not at all!" *She protested with puffed out cheeks. Was he in such a hurry to damn his soul? The unity between a vampire and a human was taboo, and strictly forbidden. She knew it, and he knew it too. The spawn of unification like that was so tainted, she couldn't even fathom the reprocussions. She couldn't even joke about it.

When the carriage stopped, she quickly scampered down to the floor of the carriage and put her cloak on, quickly covering her head with the hood. Hiding in the far corner with the blankets, she would relax once she saw his face. It was a drill she naturally fell into in case the carriage needed to be searched.* "What is it like out there? What did you see?" *She whispered, crawling closer to sit on her knees in front of him.* "Did anyone recognize you?" *She'd reach up to fuss about with his hair. She wished she had a bristle brush at lea- was this a feather? There was a feather in his hair.*
John
*As he entered the carriage he would literally a torch with his flame he gently hovered his hand over a torch inside the carriage it wouldn't catch on fire as his magic only used it for lite depending on how he wished to use it.* `"Oh don't take it to seriously I only joke. I have no motive to romantically get with anyone. It will benefit me in no way or aspect."`

*He would say as that is how he truly felt, as she came out from the blankets she hid in he would speak softly* `"Oh it's a nice little village more welcoming from the other one. This one has... Little people like humans but half the size of humans... With bigger feet... And big giant people with one eye I think we are getting deep into this new country."` *He had described a hobbit and a cyclops, as she crawled closer and began to run her fingers through his soft fluffy white hair as she found a feather he would swat at her hands very gently trying to grab them* `"No one recognized me I promise it isn't that big of a deal."` *He would give a soft smile towards her.*
Alice
"We form unities with arranged marriages based on the beneficial prospect that could bloom from the outcome." *To unite two rival families, to make a family name stronger, to merge organization's or companies... These were only a few. Her time to be wed away would have been sometime next spring. The only proof she had that love was not just a concept, was her parents. Originally they hated each other, but when she was born they had something in common to protect... And then their love grew.*

"Ehh? Little?" *She glanced over to the door, she just wanted a tiny, tiny little peek. Just a little preview. As he swat at her hands, she woukd swat back * "Oh come now don't fuss... You've not fixed your hair since this morning.." *She'd smooth it all out, fix the strays, annnd done.* "Alas. You look very presentable now" *She'd sit back and give a nod before her attention fell onto the door.* "Are they friendly? Will they be cruel to us? Shall I eat them? Ah! Don't forget your sw- oh good. You have it.."
John
`"Unities... Sounds like something the royals do, nobility of humans do forced marriages against there children's will a tool to be used to cease infighting, or strengthen a families position."` *He scoffed in disgusted, upon hearing this then it wasn't just humans and high elves maybe every race did this it was disgusting to him repulsive, he was glad he had left home instead if being forced to marry some random girl his parents had chosen for him more then ever he was happy his whole family was dead.*

`"Being bartered off is something I don't take to kindly It is one of the reasons I left my home, I decide what I will do with my life no one else, even though it has lead to nothing but suffering it's still better to be able to choose a path knowing you did it of your own free will."` *He had spoke while she fixed his hair he had given up at swatting at her hands she was more stubborn then him he would speak turning his head slightly away*

`"I don't know but they aren't humans, so I'm assuming they will be i didn't even see any guards, no one in the village has any weapons either only the blacksmith alone, it seems really peaceful. No eating them!"` *He would give a very gentle flick on her head* `"You can feed if you need to but no killing unless they try to kill you. Now come here let me brush your hair I won't change it but you'll need to look presentable as well then we can dye my hair."` *He would search around the carriage for a few moments before finding a brand new brush in his items*
