*As she patted her she smiles softly her way of defusing was killing people. If someone made her mad she wanted to kill them friend or not but she resisted her urges the main emotion she had was anger. She thought about it as she said she wasn't very empathetic, she could see it in herself as well she rarely showed empathy to anyone only anger.* `"I understand but let's use my gold so you don't have to go to the city I'll die on this hill, we have to do our picnic after all."` 

*She smiles brightly she also preferred solitude however it was also nice to have someone to talk to* `"I see you prefer solitude so I'm assuming you don't have very good social skills?"` *She asked as she heard heard ai's stomach growl she laughed softly listening to her.* `"Maybe you should go get something eat while you can. I'll go fetch my gold my gold is your gold. While you go to eat something I'll see if I can do what I planned to do."` *It made sense now how she could so easily cut someone off like she did to faedon as she said what raizen said was true it would leave doubts in her mind she would have to rethink everything she didn't want to be the next one it was a cold way to do something like that to a friend for something so small she understood if they became violent or yelled at there friend everyday ect but what ai did made her stay scared she would lose ai so she would be the perfect friend!*
Alice
"I would say my social skills are pretty standard. Aristocrats tend to thrive off of the social standings of everyone really... Presence is mandatory rather than optional.." *With the balls and gatherings and the like.* "But yes, I should take advantage of the night while I can... Be well my friend. I shall return as soon as I can." *She'd hop off of her chair and give a wave with a ligth hearted smile before taking the shape of a bat and fluttering out the door.

The air was crisp and refined, and the moon wasn't completely full but it was whole enough to allow her to see through the trees. She didn't want to go too far, but she didn't think her odds would be very high in the town she had started the fire in. That's how it was... There was no guarantee she'd find anything to eat unless she traveled further out... But she wasn't so sure about that.*
Charles
`"I see what you mean. I haven't been to many balls or gathering other then leaving them with dead."` *She chuckled nervously.* `"But that's besides the point be safe out there I'll be here if you need me."` *She waved her off and walked over to the door where Faedon was at and waited outside.*
Edward
"Heheh the truth is kid you got some very unorthodox friends, thats not a bad thing tho it means you have more company to chose from, but in that same vein, you have just as many troubles as they do so yes sometimes those troubles will fall on deaf ears or be greeted with adversity, it doesn't mean they care about you any less, it simply means that you need to find a moment that you can be more open... And before you ask you will know it when you feel it." 

*He smiled and gave faedon another pat on the head, seeing how that melted his spiky edgy exterior even just a little, before hearing someone walking to the door again, so i would go over and open it, smiling as i see ysildea, slithering out of the room myself and letting her inside, giving faedon one last thumbs up.* 

"And it looks like now is the opportunity to speak your mind, so do your best bud." *He closed the door behind him and walked to the counter for some coffee.*
John
*Went quiet as he listened to bylin as he felt another pat on his head he had a small weak smile, as he left the room he saw ysildea his eyes moved away from the door and away from ysildea not wanting to talk to her as what was the point, however bylin said sometimes it would fall on deaf ears but it didn't mean they didn't care it left his mind confused.*
Charles
*Did not enter the room yet she turned to look at bylin and followed him after he closed the door she spoke softly*

`"What did you two talk about...? May I ask you for some advice I think it would be good for me to ask advice from an outside party."`

*She smiles softly*
Edward
"Oh we just spoke about ways for him to be more open with the people they care about... But if you really want advice, be more open and reciprocating with other people's emotions, even if you don't share there beliefs or reasoning, some people are just in need of a shoulder to cry on and someone to listen when there feeling bad, it makes them feel validated." *I would take a sip of some coffee while I began counting my remaining gold coins, figuring i would find a mine somewhere and get more metals to make coins.*
Charles
`"How did you know what I was going to ask about? Mmmm Ii see I will try to be more caring and empathetic to him... When I stood there and ignored him when he told me how he felt was I wrong for that?"` 

*Seeing him counting gold coins she pulled out a satchel and gently set down half a dozen gold coins* 

`"That should be able to help you out a gift from me to you."`

*She smiles softly towards him.*
Edward
"Hmmm? Oh thank yu, but you didn't need to do that, but since you did i guess i can cut you in on the plane i was thinking off, but later.." 

*He put those coins in his satchel and listened to the question, giving her a sad look and nodding my head.* 

"That was kinda the reason why he didnt say anything to you when he saw you in the doorway... After that he thought there was no point in speaking to you.."
Charles
`"It's no worries I would like to know about this plan... Sure for later."` 

*Seeing his sad look and him nod she heard him confirm her suspicions her heart felt like it sank.*

`"Well if I try now and apologize I may be able to get him to speak to me again... I know what I did was wrong. I also feel that ai the one that walked in the room with me no longer wishes to be his friend if that's the case i have to tell him and it would break his heart."`
Edward
"I would say apologizing would be the best course of action since it is clear that he cares about you as well, and as for your little friend who tried biting my tail I do see where her suspicions lie that her old friend is gone but I still feel like she cares about him to some extent she just doesn't want to say it." 

*I would shrug my shoulders, not really wanting to hurt your feelings but wanting to tell her the truth as i froze the coffee, turning it into a coffee crystal.*
Charles
`"Thank you for being honest with me can you talk to the little vampire you have a better way with words then me and could help explain to her about faedon if. She even wants to hear it if she doesn't don't push it just leave it alone it will tell me all I need to know about her."` 

*She nodded seeing the coffee freeze over into a crystal like substance*

`"How did you do that...?"`
Edward
"Hmm? Oh yeah faedon didnt tell you that i fought him using mostly my cryomancy, yeah i have the ability to manipulate elements to whatever i want them to be... Which is why ive been subjected to huntings to get my blood to make mana." 

*I just drop that nonchalant like it was something everyone went through before scratching my face.* 

"I mean i can talk to the lil tail biter, she still seems ver curious of me so its also a chance for me to awnser some of her questions."
Esther
*A knock struck the door as raizen stood outside from where the two were talking she had finished most of her drinks and wanted to know more of the drama*
Charles
`"Well he didn't really want to talk to me well... After I ignored him. Ah I am blessed by walking the path of the blood flame. It is like using water magic but blood. Be weary she will try to bite your scales I told her if she wants to break her teeth she can try it. It would be a great help if you talked to her for me."`

*She nodded as she heard the knock a vein appeared at the top of her forehead*

`"Ugh... It's raizen she is a succubus good luck with her."`

*She waved raizen over as she hid her chest from raizen*
Esther
*She walked in rather smug as she looked around*

"Seeing you someone else for consultation?? But what about me."

*Pout*
Edward
"Well hello to you as well lady raizen, ive heard... Not that much about you but i think i can infer some of it." *He chuckled under his breath as he began chewing on the coffee uce crystal and sharpening his swords.* 

"Dont worry ill talk to her for you and see what i can do, also at this point i might just let her bite my tail so she can learn."
Esther
"My my lady?~ I think I quite like that title, what's your name stranger~ I see my fiend ysildea is hiding herself from me what a shame~"
Charles
*Growls at raizen before replying*

`"Well I wouldn't have to hide if you wasn't so promiscuous! Thank you I'll be going to see Faedon so you two can get aquatinted."`

*She walks towards faedons room slowly excusing herself from there conversation.*
Esther
"Oooh but I like spending time with you ysildea~ I'll come find you later~"
Edward
"You really are something else lady raizen, but to awnser your question my name is bylin, and i got here after an altercation with your friends young portage." *He would go back to counting his gold, popping one of those coins into his mouth for a snack.*
Esther
"Oh? Young portage? And nice to meet you bylin care to share the juicy details of your conversations?"
Edward
"Hmmmm you are very curious huh? Well if you have the time sit down and let me tell you about it." *Pays for some ale before sliding it over to her, not trying to be flirty in da slightest.*
Esther
*She smirked sitting and flowing the drink*

"I'm listening~"

.((sorry driving rn
Charles
*Enters faedons room slowly and closes the door she sees him laying down and staring into the ceiling. Walking over she slowly kneels beside the bed* 

`"Faedon I want to talk to you... Will you let me speak to you?"`

*She asked softly as she gently placed her hand over his, seeing his wraps had gotten extremely bloody* 

`"Let me change these for you at least."`

*She gently lifted his right forearm and began to unwrap the bandages slowly until they were completely off she could hear him whimpering and panting in pain. Getting a warm bucket of water she slowly dipped his hand into it to clean it and let it rest in there for a minute while looking at it.*
John
*Heard the door open he was slightly jumpy he opened his eyes quickly as he saw ysildea coming beside him and trying to speak to him he closed his eyes tilting his head to the side as she said she wanted to change his bandages he nodded slowly allowing her to do it as she began to unwrap he felt like it was a thousand hot needles piercing his skin he groans and whimpers in pain until his hand and forearm was placed into the warm bucket of water.*
Charles
*She took out a soft white rag and gently put the green paste on it and began to place it over his knuckles, fingers and forearm as soft as she could before wrapping it around each finger then his knuckles then his hand then wrist so nothing could be seen and so people wouldn't give him looks for his hands being destroyed.* 

`"Come here lean up for me Faedon..."`

*She gently leaned him up with a soft smile and placed a few pillows on his back and behind him moving the warm bucket over to his other hand and repeated the process*

`"I know you don't want to talk to me however I will not be leaving nothing you can do will make me leave."`
John
*Winces and grits his teeth in pain but after she applied the green paste his hands felt better after she began to put the past on then wrapping his hands he had sat up with her help wincing as she said she wouldn't leave even if he ignored her he sighs softly as he couldn't really do much with his hands they were destroyed.*

`"Are you just going to ignore me if I speak to you? You did before."`
Alice
*Her flight did not yeild results, and that was very unfortunate. She'd have to go hungry for another day. She had traveled to the nearest city again, but it did not bare much fruit when it came to the type of blood she needed. She could go farther, but that held risk of getting lost or winding up in a sticky situation she would not be able to easily flee from. How troubling. 

With a sigh, she'd decide to head on back... She'd make it to the inn with a lot of night left to spare but she'd stop short in a forest clearing littered with moon flowers. Reverting back to her human like appearance she'd flop down into them, causing a flurry of petals to poof up around her. She never had anything like this back in the city... If not for the lack of food she'd be content to stay here forever.*
Esther
.((back now for a bit
Edward
"Well to make a long story short, a certain small boi was intent on attacking me so i could kill him, but i didnt really hurt him at all, all the damage that was done to him was self inflicted, i mean except for the hit that finally took him out..." *He felt very guilty about that, looking down at his large claws, looking very very guilty.*
Esther
"So your the rough type~~"

*She smirked*

"I wonder who would win if we wrestled I think I'd be rather the dominant champion... But I think I'll save that dance for a rather hard to get type."
Edward
"Hmmm... Yep you are a succubus for sure, and while i would like to take that offer... Something in my body is telling me to stay away from you... And i dont know why."

*He would look at her closely, taking note of everything, every bend and curve her body took in order to figure out what it was causing so much distress.*
Esther
*She sighed getting up and looking around*

"Well then I might aswell go find ysildea and tempt her more if you have to stay away from me, but I'll be back~"

.((gtg now for the night sorry back tomorrow
Alice
*She'd give it a little more time before sitting up and looking around her. With a couple of petals in her hair, she would pick an armful to take back to the inn and then stand up. She didn't want to rip her dress, so she would decide to walk back. It'd be a walk too as she had to traverse through the forest... Thank goodness for impeccable night vision. Once she arrived, she went inside and arranged them in cute little vases and even decided to make one into a flower crown.*
Edward
*He would get up and step outside, still very confused as to why he was feeling the way he was before seeing ai, making her cute little petal creations, which would have him smiling as he walked over to her and sat across from her with a grin in his face.* "Hello again, you know u dont think we've been formally introduced, my name is bylin whats yours?"
Charles
*Frowned having a sad expression she shook her head gently setting down his other arm she gently pulled his head into a hug into her chest as she took a seat beside him holding him gently rubbing his back with her soft hands* 

`"I'm sorry fae I shouldn't have ignored you I was upset that you had ignored me since you met me. You have to understand how I felt now when you ignored me but I'm here now it's ok to cry but you have to promise me you'll be better and try to explain yourself to me and not get so angry with me so quickly over something so small."`

*She gently runs her fingers through his hair and then behind his head over and over*
John
*As she called him by his nickname he smiles weakly as he had his head pulled gently into her chest it was like clouds he exhaled he understood what she was trying to say he did ignore her and treat her badly. Was that why ai stopped talking to him and then when he angrily pointed ysildea to leave that must have been the last straw...?*

`"Ok... M I understand... I shouldn't have gotten so angry with you I promise I'll try to be better but you have to listen to me as well... Just please be patient with me I can't string words together like you and ai."`

*He closes his eyes relaxing on her as he felt her hands running through his hair it felt nice and calming.*
Charles
*Felt happy! He finally got it through his thick skull! All she wanted for was for him to talk to her and not be so damned stuck up all the time.*

`"I will be more patient to let you find your words to speak to me m I'll do my bes to be more patient you also have to do your part."`

*Moving his head back she gently moved her hands to his cheeks caressing then she gently moved her hand up brushed his hair softly out of his face leaning in moving one hand down to take his hand lifted it up to his chest before planting a soft kiss on his forehead then placing her forehead on his closing her eyes.*
Alice
*Looking up from her floral crown, she stared at him for a couple of seconds before placing it atop his head.* "Ai. Yume, Ai. Tis' a pleasure to make your acquaintance" *She'd offer a small smile with a light cant if her head.* "I hear you are a dragon. I've never met a dragon but I imagined them to look vastly different.." *As in a good few feet taller with hundreds of pounds more weight and unable to fit through the door.* "And I have many questions for you if I may." *She'd didn't want to point because it was rude, but she wasn't exactly a beat around the bush type of girl.* "I would like to bite your tail.." *In actuality it was to taste his blood. It would help her identify more of his kind in the future.*
John
`"I understand I won't be able to do anything without my hands I can barely lift a spoon there destroyed I don't know how long it would take to heal."` 

*As he saw ysildea getting closer and she gently brushed his hair out of his face and planted a soft hiss while holding his hand a soft pink blush fell across his cheeks as he looked down. He began to think about ai he hoped she was ok he was worried about her... He wondered if she thought about him as he thought about her all he had on his head was ai and ysildea hoping he didn't lose her as a friend.*

`"Is ai... Ok? I know she probably doesn't want to be my friend anymore and probably never will but if she's at least happy it'll make me happy even if she doesn't care at all about me."`

*He closed his eyes sadly.*
Edward
"Hehehe well to be honest with you, i am the weirder of the dragons that are out there, i am called a lycan wing, despite me having been born like this."

*I smile and chuckle as the flower crown is placed on my head, and despite not wanting her to break her teeth he would think about it.*

"Ask as many questions as you want, and as for biting my tail, if you really wanna drink my blood ill let you take a bite from my forearm so you dont hurt yourself." *I would hold out my forearm to her that was only mildly covered in scales, my lower forearm skin being tough but still breakable.*
Alice
"Lycan wing?" *She hesitated... That first word he said was a mortal enemy of hers and she felt her body tense up. They all had a rough experience with a werewolf very recently, and it put her a little bit on edge.* "N-no thank you.." *She uttered, quietly and albeit not as confident sounding as before.* "Are you.." *She slowly crept off of her chair but she never took her eyes off of him.* "Lycan?.." *She finished, now acting with caution and care.* "Do you feel a need to kill me?" *She felt there would never be a day, when a werewolf and a vampire could co exist in the same room without the insatiable urge to rip each other apart.*
Charles
`"Don't worry about your hands fae I'll help you until your hands are better. I will defend you with my life if I have to."` 

*Seeing his cheeks turn a gentle pink she smiles seeing he was happy, seeing his troubled face she was about to ask what was wrong but she waited as he spoke asking if ai was ok she would go silent for a few and hold his hand still placing one hand gently around his head running her fingers through his hair as she pulled him close for another hug his head on her breasts.*

`"She is ok I don't think she will want to talk to you again... From my knowledge at least... She may not want to be your friend anymore... However she is happy."`

*She knew hearing this would break his heart so she tried her best to comfort him as she released his hand and set it down on his lap as she gently held him with both arms.*
John
`"Thank you ysildea I will be grateful for you to helping me and when your going to help me when I need it..."` *Hearing that ai probably wouldn't want to be his friend anymore his heart did indeed break possibly the nail in the coffin for him the last thing needed to push him over the edge into the abyss of darkeness his eyes stared quietly into ysildeas skin his breaths becoming shaky* `"I didn't mean to make her so angry with me... I don't know what to say nothing I can say will make her want to be my friend again I'm assuming."` *A waft of depression and sadness washed over him followed by self hatred but with ysildea comforting him he felt slightly better.* `"Can I just get some food..."`
Charles
*Gently began to comfort him and hug him a bit tighter as she could see his face become troubled and then his smile turn to a sad depressed look* `"It's ok it'll be ok I'm here for you I'm not going anywhere... Listen your thinking to hard into it vampires don't show much empathy... So it is easy for them to cut people off the world is cruel it is just the way this world is... She may still care about you but she needs to see you"`

`"Improving yourself if you want the chance to be your friend again but if you choose to not do that I will be content with leaving with you, and we can start somewhere else so you don't have to deal with the pain for losing ai as a friend."`
John
`"I got angry with you ysildea because I liked... Fancied ai and I ruined it because I didn't want you to figure it out and tell ai... I never felt this way about someone so I was scared and acted irrationally... I won't try and make her my friend again the bridge is gone... It is what it is... Actions have consequences... If ai comes to talk to me I'll talk to her... Hopefully she won't be so mad at me..."` 

*He smiles painfully.*
Edward
"Uhmm no, i actually just told you that i was called a lycan despite not being a lycan, i was called as such for my strange appearance and means of fighting."

*He didnt move at all from the seat not feeling any form of violence towards her, even though she was a vampire, and hes rooming up with a werewolf now so hes not worried about that.*

"If i felt any form of animosity towards you i would have shown that already."
Alice
*And just like a switch, her paranoia reformed into curiosity.* "But you do not look like a wolf to me.." *She lingered closer, and took a couple of smells before feeling his face and arms and scales.* "If I take a scale, will it hurt?" *She'd move over to pick up his tail, and held it by the end. She stared down at it in her hands and... Nommed. She couldn't bite through it? She'd turn it this way and that, the clanking of her little teeth resounding against the scales. She wouldn't bite ridiculously hard enough to break her teeth but she did gnaw on it for a minute before dropping it.* "Hm.." *She looked at him once again but this time at his neck. She should have started there to begin with but she had never bitten a tail before.* "Under normal circumstances, I don't usually ask but might I bite your neck? I will not take much." *His blood was not the type to satiate her hunger but she just wanted to try maybe a drop or two.*
Charles
`"I know you fancied miss ai but you could have just told me to save it for later you know. Now stop being so gloomy after all you still have me and a new friend the dragon man. Well let's just see how it goes if ai talks to you."` 

*She gently layed him back down with a smile went to go get him some food*
John
*Closed his eyes as she layed him back down he felt as if a weight was on his shoulders his heart it felt like it was being torn apart. However as time passes waiting he slowly began to enter a stage of acceptance his emotions feeling like it was becoming numb he suddenly began to care less with more time he would become cold, emotionless, numb if he stood this path in his head. With ysildea in play it may not happen but who knows not even faedon knew but he felt more relaxed less impulsive everything was different as if his eyes were finally open.*
Charles
*Walks towards the counter and talks with the master Hobbit and order some beef stew with rice walking over to ai after and the dragon man she seemed more happy then before everything felt good to her.*

`"Hey! Welcome back ai!"`

*Ysildea seemed more happy and no longer anxious or worried waving cutely to the two as she placed her hands Infront of her her fingers intertwined.*

`"Sorry if I'm interrupting something ai isn't trying to bite you is she?"`
Edward
"I mean she did ask to bite my neck which I'm not exactly opposed to I just want her to know what she's getting into before she actually does but I am giving her permission to." *He would shrug his shoulders as ysildea walked over, however looking very happy that she wasn't so gloomy as she usually was.* "Believe me I'm not that worried because all it's going to take is a drop for her to not want it anymore."
Alice
"Thank you for the meal.." *She'd utter, placing her hands on his shoulders she stood on her tip toes, leaned forward and- OH MY GOD WHAT IN THE SHEER AGONY GOOD GOD IT WAS AWFUL, WHY IS IT SPICY???!!! Poor thing teleported around the room in blips of black smoke in various positions like a pinball darting around various pieces of furniture. Praise satan for vampiric healing attributes because eventually she'd come to a stop laying face first on the inn floor. Dragon blood be dmaned.*
Edward
"I mean... To be honest I kind of warned you that you didn't want to do it but since you did it anyway I couldn't really stop you so I guess you know now don't try to drink Dragon blood or at least more specifically don't try to drink my blood." *He picked her up and gave her some pats on the head before sitting her down in the stool, the skin on my neck had already healed.*
Charles
*Walked over to ai just behind her she had an evil playful look as she smothered ai in her chest as she spoke to bylin.* `"Well eh is not the smartest... She is smart in most aspects but she doesn't know much about the world."`

*She squeezes the little ai a little harder into her chest and body with a smirk before speaking*

`"So what did we learn ai..?"`
Alice
*She was like a floppy, weightless doll... Her head hitting the table top with a light thunk... She'd occasionally twitch here and there. As she was being hugged by Ysildea, she looked up at her and sniffled.* "I just had to know.." *But now she knew to put it in the freezer or something beforehand. Her poor tastebuds... The heat factor aside it tasted like she stuck her tongue in a battery socket.* "How was your talk with Faedon? Do you feel better?" *It was a little hard to talk but she was getting there. Give it a couple more moments and she'd be all healed up.* "I didn't have any luck finding food... I'd have to travel a bit farther out I'd wager, but I did find moon flowers."
Charles
*She smiles softly as she helped ai's head up and placed it between her chest as she gently pats ai's head with a soft smile.* `"Well now you know... Don't try it again. My feelings haven't changed all that much."` *She avoided the conversation about faedon and jumped to the third thing she said.* `"You did eat anything?? Hmm... Well most of the this lands are filled with hobbits and cyclops there more happy content then humans as they don't have the same struggles as humans you'll need to find a human settlement."` *She nodded*
Alice
"I traveled to the town before this... But I could not find one. I'll have to go further than I've ever gone and I fewr I may get lost. Its too far to fly with confidence I'd get back safely. There is no guarentee cover for the sunlight either..." *She would be relatively alright for now... But come the next night she'd really start to feel the effects of not having eaten in days. Sometimes thats how it went but she never had this problem back at the city. It was also a vast and highly populated area so the problem didn't readily exist.* "So I am not sure what I should do.."
Charles
`"Well you won't have to travel alone I will go with you we can leave right now and make it back before sun rise."` *She nodded and rose her finger to speak once more but then again they didn't have time to waste.*

`"Up you go!"`

*She lifted ai off the stool and cradled her walking outside the tavern. She slowly lowered her body her aura released like a violent hurricane as blood black aura formed around them her hair floating and swaying violently as she gritted her teeth and fangs before jumping off the ground flying a couple hundred feet in the air south landing on a tree snapping the branch and jumping again flying longer and higher*

`"When you smell something that suits your taste point in the right direction."`
Alice
*She could walk just fine on her own, but this would probably be faster.* "I can't tell from here, we'd need to be near people" *She could tell just from looking at them. Occasionally she'd let out a small* "Wee~" *As they bounded from tree to tree. She'd take care to keep her dress from flying up, and pointed up to the sky* "Ah, the stars are out!" *Right. She had to focus. If they reached another town or city it would be too late to run into a bunch of people but there was sure to be one or two just strolling about.*
Charles
*Took a big inhale the wind could be seen swirling around her mouth as she took the deep inhale as ai spoke about the stars* `"Oh you want to see the stars? Give me one second..."` *The town in the far distance would soon be in view it was just over a mountain as she landed once more this time it shattered the earth slightly and a few trees around it as she flew above the clouds the wind whipping against her dress and body her hair swaying violently as she could now see the beautiful night sky completely unhindered they stood in the air for about 3 minutes before she began to descend down towards a street inside the town wings sprouted from her lower back and began to flap slowing her descent down*
