Raine had made her rounds through the old auction house, certain that not a one within would peek her interest. It had been a long time since she adorned herself with a human companion, it was a time where her control over the beast had not been as good. Most of the humans she had acquired had been naught more than a meal she left hapless in the streets of a darkened alley.  The bodies however were taken care of by her Sire and her coven, they having to go behind and clean up messes that she made in order to keep their identity a secret.  She was trouble for them, often acting out of instinct and hunger than out of intelligence and control.<br/><br/>She's learned since then, though it were through a course of dire measures. Her family such as it were scattered to the winds and she was forced to learn on her own. No longer did she have the comfort of another cleaning up after her and so she had learned discipline, something that even humans had trouble with.  These were thoughts she mulled over, the do's and don'ts of what she was considering as she walked around the other side.<br/><br/>That's when she saw the guards moving the group of humans towards a platform, a sign the auctions would begin soon enough. Carefully, studiously her gaze had swept across each one, assessing them for not only strength, but agility and the condition in which they were kept.  The guards had not been so careful with some, leaving them rather tied up and against a wall that could ultimately damage the property and lower their value. As for food, well it seemed they were given just enough to keep them alive and for Raine, well this was an atrocity to say the least. With out proper nutrition the humans could not be fed from entirely without weakening them to the point of death and as a result forcing the purchase of another.  No this simply wouldn't do in her opinion.  It was as she took a step towards the next that she noticed the one who had been rather kept off to the side and tied to a wall. Eyes of azure appraised his condition, it seemed her curiosities had been peeked.<br/><br/>Turning to the guard she spoke with a gesture to the man. " I wish to see him fully, bring him forth. " The guards had looked to where she gestured and then back to her, their words nothing more than an annoyance. "Miss, are you sure, he's not that well behaved and has been here the longest. Surely you'd like to see something a bit more suitable to your tastes."  Raine turned her icy gaze to the one who spoke to her, a smile etched along her delicate features as hands were drawn back behind her only for a hand to clasp over the wrist of another.  She was never one to argue openly, after all these men had dealt with these kine for some time, unfortunately for the guards, she was not accustomed to taking no for an answer.<br/><br/>"Do you question my request?" Her voice soft as a song as the words slipped from her lips like silk. Of course the tried to back track over their comments only to explain more that he was difficult and had ill manners.  Her gaze lowered to the ground briefly before she looked up to regard them once more. " Are you informing me that your stock is not of the best quality gentlemen?  That perhaps I should take my business elsewhere and inform the others who may inquire to purchasing from you that you turned me away because of your lack of training? "   The guards looked at her with dread in their eyes, the expression upon their visage spoke of irritation and shock. " No Miss, " the man stated before he called for the other guard to bring the man forward, thus unroping him and walking him rather forcefully towards the front of the platform.<br/><br/>Raine would stand there, much smaller than he, resolve settled upon her defined features. It was apparent that she was looking him over for a possible purchase. Not a word would she speak to him but rather speaks to the guards. " Unbind his hands and do not argue with me. " She stated firmly.  They complied though they thought her niave for such a command.  The man they then referred to as Samuel had been freed from his confines and left to stand before the woman.<br/><br/>"Name, age, nationality and when you were last fed and what you were used for.  Do not make me ask again. " She stated plainly, her voice still soft. It was clear that she expected him to respond in kind without argument.
