Aaron thought it was extremely nice of her to try to include him in the, erm, bloody festivities.  He had to correct himself on that thought, amending it to ashes-to-ashes festivities.  For all the bloodsucking they achieved, the bloodsuckers themselves did not bleed.  Well, not as much as other people or beings anyway.  It was still an amusing reflection.  The truth of the matter, to him at least, was that Vixaria was so efficiently lethal at what she accomplished in the vicinity of vampires, that he believed he’d just be in her way as a human.<br/><br/>The Dark Hunter visibly flinched as he wiped the missed blood from her face.  Aaron thought nothing of the gesture, as he had on numerous occasions done exactly the same thing to any one of his pack brothers and sisters.  Vixaria, however, was not a pack member.  Not yet, and not officially anyway.  There were little details, on the other hand, that told him she was okay with it.  First and foremost was the fact that none of her blades were protruding from any of his vital organs.  And then she said thank you.  Next time (if there was a next time), he would merely indicate with his hands at any missed blood on her face.<br/><br/>Composure gracefully regained, three words from her tossed everything else in the background:<i>bite to eat.  </i>“Oh yeah,” Aaron answered her affirmatively, and quite enthusiastically at that.  “I could definitely go for a bite to eat, especially after watching your performance.  And if that’s the case,” he paused while smiling and winking her way, “I bet you’re famished, seeing as how you did all the work.”  Laughing in spite of himself, he strolled beside her, back to her car.  Upon further scrutiny, the shifter realized the car was nearly as hot as its owner.<br/><br/>“So how long will you be in town?” Vixaria inquired.  Since he was passing through on his way home, he never gave this much thought.  Until now.  Aaron shrugged, and then responded, “Dunno.  It’s not like I’m on any kind of schedule.  I mean, my pack is expecting me, but I can always message them, saying something, um, better came up.”  He grinned at her as they reached her vehicle.
