Imagining an irritable Dima, Noah felt glad he hadn't caught him before. Even just the flash of anger he saw about the necklace. If Dmitri got rough with him in a fit of anger, he wasn't sure he could handle it for very long. But he didn't know if it was really because of him that the vampire was irritable. As pleased as he was to finally catch Noah, it didn't make sense for him to have mellowed out before then. He flinched when she reached to pinch his cheek fairly uncomfortable about the invasion of 0ersonal space. With how much he expected from Dmitri, he probably should have gotten used to it.<br/><br/>His face fell as soon as Reyna explained how she came to be there, however. She was pretty much a slave. It made him look away with a clear amount of discomfort. Did that mean Geoffrey was as well? He was beginning to really dislike Dmitri the more he got to know the creature. "As long as I don't make him angry..." Noah scoffed. There were no debts to justify his being there, and he hated that he might have to walk on eggshells when he didn't even agree to be there. He picked up the mug, leaving it black without the indulgence of sugar or cream, and held the warm mug between his hands as he allowed it to cool.<br/><br/>"Call me whatever you want," he told her in a dismissive tone. Sipping at the drink only to wince as it scalded his tongue. He set the mug back down and regarded Reyna with a serious expression. "I don't want to ever hear my name on his lips. The creep is taking enough from me, my freedom, my blood, my body..." His eyes fell to the counter and he sighed, "Maybe you had dreams of him coming home one day with a chipper new friend to talk to, but I'm not going to sugar coat the fact I'm a prisoner here with bullshit like--" he caught himself in the realization he was being a dick to someone who didn't deserve it.<br/><br/>With a scowl, he picked the mug back up and sipped his coffee. "Thank you," he murmured, "I don't mean to be rude to you. I'm just upset. He's been a real pain in my neck, pun intended, ever since the second he got his grubby hands on me."
