Aries supposed he understood… While it might not matter to the vampire, it could affect Luca… so he wouldn't say anything. “So long as they don’t see my face, then.” He murmured softly, reaching up to fiddle with his hood. Vampire’s teeth were obviously the biggest tell, but experienced hunters would also surely notice the very slight oval shape to their pupils even when the vampire was relaxed, though that would be hard to see with the shadow from a hood at least. “We only have to wait for you to get hurt, right? Even a little blood works, right?” He asked, he didn’t want to wait too long… But he didn’t want to hurt Luca either. “Ah, but i’ll make sure you’re safe first!” He added hurriedly. If they were attacked and Luca got hurt Aries would make sure he got somewhere safe before killing the red haired vampire, that he could promise.<br/><br/>He listened intently as Luca explain the past, and Aries couldn’t help but feel his stomach churn. He looked down as they walked, eyes sullen as he realized that Luca had probably watched people he really cared about die. For Aries the thought was agonizing… He didn’t even remember his loved ones, and he hadn’t made any true friends since becoming a vampire, but he knew what loneliness and loss felt like… He continued following behind Luca, lost in his own thoughts, though after a few more moments he trotted up and gently tugged on the back of the other’s shirt.<br/><br/>He waited until the man stopped before putting his arms firmly around his waist and giving a soft squeeze, nuzzling his face against the man’s back. It hurt to think about people dying even if Aries didn’t know them, and it hurt more knowing that Luca must miss them and that he traveled like this so it wouldn’t happen again… And it had also been a very long time since he could seek comfort himself by hugging someone. He only let it linger a moment though, he knew humans didn’t like to be touched by monsters like him, but it was a brief moment of distress that he swiftly pushed away before releasing the other.<br/><br/>He didn’t say anything about the display of sympathy, he wouldn’t know what to say anyway, so instead he merely looked up to Luca and gave a soft, childish smile that didn’t reach his sullen grey eyes. “Want to share the cookie?” He asked, producing it from his pocket and unwrapping it, breaking it in half and offering one to Luca as though they had just been talking about food and not something as heavy as death. Aries wished that he could have met Luca as a human, become friends with him properly… But since he couldn’t, he just hoped he could help him be a little less lonely for a little bit. Maybe that way he could repent, even just a little.
