It made him nervous that she had such a power in her eyes but all the more intrigued. He wanted to know more of her and could not bring himself to look away. "I don't believe I've ever met a half vampire before, I figured you were a myth," he cleared his throat.<br/><br/>Owen returned the smile. "Thank you," he replied softly. He closed his fingers around her's and led her away towards her room. "It is getting late, I'll leave you to change, there's something I have to do first." Upon arriving at the staircase, he kissed her cheek and reluctantly released her hand, hesitating as he watched her climb the stairs.
