Aries was only slightly awoken by the sound of footsteps approaching him, but they didn't cause him to jolt awake as they would have normally. Maybe it was because he knew that it would be the other vampire, or maybe he simply didn't care... But when the steps didn't come closer he drifted back into the deeper sleep. It was pleasant, laying here on the cool earth, the scent of leaves and soil far better than the acrid scent of concrete and trash.<br/><br/>He awoke after another half hour, yawning as he sat up, though honestly, he felt more rested than he expected. He rubbed his eyes and lingered a bit longer before collecting his snack and drink and heading down to the water. Part of him did wonder if the man would come looking for him if he was gone too long, but he figured if he went for a short swim and then returned the other wouldn't be too upset... And maybe they wouldn't have to continue their fight from earlier either.<br/><br/>However, as he came down the path to the shore and saw the male sitting on the pier he paused, his little plans crumbling. Had he come out to find him already? Why didn't he wake him then? Was he waiting for him here or was he just trying to not be at the house? Aries lingered, hesitating, before finally walking onto the pier. "You going to sit here all night?" He mumbled, unsure how to speak to the other aside from rather crude remarks or the pathetically childish things he'd whined about last night... It made him cringe to think about being so vulnerable in front of someone.
