</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">As Aries joined him, Luca pulled him close and settled under the blankets, into the pillows. He smiled, "I promise," he assured the other. He listened to Aries with a gentle smile gracing his lips still. He even gave a soft laugh at the vampires mention that Luca seemed happier lately. Letting out a low hum, Luca answered him, "I suppose I am a bit happier. I have you to thank for that. It's been a long time, to be honest." <br/>
<br/>
With a sigh, Luca readjusted and then continued talking softly, settling into his usual soft strokes across Aries' back. "I like doing those things with you too, being intimate with you. I'm glad you enjoy it," Luca barely suppressed a yawn as he lay there. The call of sleep was hard to ignore. "Goodnight, Aries," he muttered softly. He traced a few more strokes along the vampires back before he fell still and was asleep against Aries.<br/>

Luca woke and gave Aries a gentle kiss against his forehead. "Good morning," he whispered softly before he untangled himself from the other. Getting up, Luca redressed and ran his fingers through his hair, combing out the tangled strands. He washed up in the bathroom and re-entered the main room of the hotel to give Aries a small smile. "Ready to get going? I figure we'll get something to eat along the way, head for the end of town and hitch a ride with a local or something rather than a hunter. Might be safer that way. At least around here," he said.</span>
