Aries waited, if Alex made a move then he would surely kill the hunter, but instead it seemed as though Luca was willing to let the hunter retreat. Alex grimaced, but he had no choice... And with his arm as it was there was a good possibility that even with the healing tonics of the hunters he might not be able to hunt vampires again... A damaged arm could be a death sentence in such a line of work where every advantage was necessary just to survive. And so, soon the alley held only the two once more, fairly reminiscent of their first meeting as Luca lay on the ground.<br/><br/>Aries stood there, he wasn't sure what to do, did he leave? No, Luca wouldn't be safe here tonight. But... Was he really safe with the vampire? He was wavering until he heard Luca's voice call his name and he responded without another thought. "A-ah, a-are you okay? Does it hurt? I..." He stammered, hurrying to his side, but then pausing mid-step... He probably needed to carry Luca but... He shook his head and hurriedly removed his sweatshirt and draped the damp fabric over Luca. "Put it on, then i'll carry you. Want to go to a hotel? Or the hunters...?" He asked, still keeping a short distance away, fingers fussing with his shirt hem. He figured if Luca wore his sweatshirt it would hide the scent of the human's blood enough for Aries to contain himself... But once they got somewhere safe... "I'll make sure you're safe first... But then I... I promise I won't cause you more trouble..." He said softly, voice wavering. It was his fault, right? It had to be... He didn't know how else to rationalize everything over the last few days, but... But he also didn't know how to tell Luca how happy he was to see him again.
