</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca kept a fairly brisk pace, but nothing that Aries couldn't keep up with. Like his companion, he scrutinized almost everyone they passed. He stopped only briefly to get the two of them something to eat and drink before their trip, then continued on. He ate his pastry slowly as they walked, his attention split between his vampire companion and trying to seek out someone who would be willing to give them a lift to the next town. <i>Even if it doesn't happen, it should be okay... for the most part anyway,</i> he thought. Cities and towns were where the vampires resided most often as people traveling between towns tended to do so in vehicles and not many walked. It wasn't worth the hunt to go for anyone hiking outside of city limits.<br/>
<br/>
At Aries' question, Luca gave a slight shrug and finished his mouthful before he answered. "Should be. Well, maybe. The hunters tend to do whatever they want -within reason anyway. If I have to, I could go to main hunters, the high-ups and inform them of what happened and why I killed three hunters," Luca sighed as he thought it over. He probably should just do it, even if it was in the form of a letter to them at least it would give him some leverage. "When we get to the next town, I'll do that, just to be safe. I don't think it'll cause harm, what happened here, but who knows."<br/>
<br/>
They continued on toward the end of the city and Luca managed to find them a ride with a young man and his girlfriend. It would be a few hours to the next town, but he didn't mind being in the back of their car, lying across the seat with his head in Aries' lap. At some point during his dozing, he shifted closer to Aries and wrapped his arms around the other's waist. It was by far the most comfortable he'd been in a vehicle and when they reached their destination, Luca felt rather refreshed even though he'd slept good the night before too. He spoke to the couple after they'd parked at a gas station and gave them money for their trouble.<br/>
<br/>
Looking around, Luca sighed at the familiar sites of the city where he'd met Aries in the first place. "Well, let's head to headquarters and I'll get that squared away. Maybe that'll help ease my thoughts on Alex too..." he muttered the last part as he started down the street in the direction of the tall, black, gothic-looking building where the hunters resided. If the hunter's guild could restrict that man to a certain degree, Luca would feel much better. As it was he had enough to look out for. He didn't need more.</span>
