Aries paused when Luca snapped at him, he wasn't used to that honestly. But he nodded softly and hurried up to Luca's side again and softly gripped the other's sleeve a moment. "Sorry. I don't want to worry Luca. I'll stay close. I don't want to be apart from you again." He assured him with an apologetic expression. He knew that Luca wasn't really angry at him, but he still wanted to ensure the man knew that he hadn't meant to run off again like he had before. He released his sleeve as they crossed the street, and let his mind think on what Luca meant when he spoke about how he felt for Aries... It made him smile just a little, he wanted to ask Luca to explain, but not right now.<br/><br/>Instead, he nodded and gave the building they were approaching a somewhat worried look. "I'll keep you safe from them." He promised, he didn't want Luca hurt, and Aries didn't want to fight humans either, so he hoped things went smoothly. "But they tried to do bad things to you. Even if hunters are important, hurting other people is bad." He stated. "And you could have killed Alex too. But you let him go... They shouldn't blame you for what he did." He didn't want them to hate Luca, and he was scared that Luca might lose the only place that could keep him safe without Aries, but he also knew the world wasn't always perfect.<br/><br/>Thankfully things went well and after a short while, they were up in another cozy room. Aries stretched, planning to flop down onto the bed, but when Luca mentioned a shower the vampire couldn't help wanting to. Showering was one of the best luxuries the vampire could imagine, and standing under hot water was something he wouldn't get tired of anytime soon. "Shower!" He chirped with a grin, hurrying into the bathroom and running the water as he stripped. He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and while he usually hated the sight this time he paused and couldn't help the welling of warmth in his chest at the earing he now wore... He beamed, giggling to himself with his joy for the moment, keeping all those less pleasant concerns at bay.<br/><br/>He then checked that the water was warm enough before going back to the door and peeking out at Luca, as usual still unabashed by his nudity, it seemed reading the book hadn't helped on that front any. "Hey, Luca." He called quietly to him, not wanting to be a pest. "Wan'na shower together?" He asked with a smile. He figured Luca would say no again like last time he had asked, but... Luca had tried explaining to him back then that it was a matter of their relationship, right? So... Was that different now? If they could kiss could they bathe together? Or was that still no good? He was trying to test things in his own manner of figuring things out, it was merely how he had gotten through to this point up to now... trial and error and repetition.
