Aries watched Luca struggle up, and while he wanted to help he resisted the urge to touch the human further. Instead, he passed him the bowl and sat back in his chair while Luca ate. He glanced down to the floor as he sat in silence, but at least Luca had an appetite, Aries was thankful for that, and despite his coughing he was fairly sure the human would get better with medicine and rest. That's all he could hope for really, that Luca would get better... And then what? Aries chewed his lip softly, as much as he felt he shouldn't stay beside Luca he also realized that if he ran again then the human might be in danger again as well... Especially with Alex still out there. Could he stay beside him then? For... For however long he had left.<br/><br/>When Luca finished Aries took the bowl and placed it aside, it wasn't yet time for the next dose of medicine, so, for now, he just tried to ensure Luca had what he needed handy. When the human spoke of the old vampires Aries blinked, then nodded softly. He knew of them, vampires that were ancient and yet managed to survive all this time... If he was going to find another immortal they would also probably be within that group as well. Though, it seemed as though the older vampires had always avoided causing a stir, it was how they survived all this time... So why were they moving about now?<br/><br/>The next words from Luca surprised him more, but... "I'll go where ever you want me to... So long as I can stay with you, at least for now I... That's what I want..." He voiced softly, grey eyes resting on the clock in the room. "I... I've liked traveling with Luca. It's been fun and warm... But I... I know that I shouldn't ask for selfish things. So... So as long as Luca wants me to be here, then I want to try to keep you safe." He had tucked his feet upon the chair and was hugging his knees, the monotonous motion of the clock reminding him just how many innumerable moments he had lived through... It felt so incredibly eternal. "I was always being cared for by him... I want to be useful to someone else this time. Even if it's only a little. I always wanted to repay him, I don't want to miss my chance to repay you too..." He buried his face against his legs. He wanted to do what he couldn't before, back when he was human... But that also meant that somewhere he was hoping to live just a little longer to do so...
