Darius blinks. His eyes were revealed as his cloth over his eyes had gotten untied by the smack and it getting caught. They were a light copper hue and white haze covered them. He was blind. Then he found the cloth and retyed it around his eyes. Blushing a bit. Which was a faint tint of pink but it was still there. "Er...maybe. But I was afraid I may have frightened you. I do not often actually interact with others." he says honestly. He nods his hand. "Yeah. I do." he says softly. Tilting his head to the side. Blinking. "They have people researching and doing studies on a coldblooded killer?" he says rather puzzled. Muttering something in what was clearly Transylvanian tongue.<br/><br/>He shakes his head and looks at her. Smiling a bit. "You weren't forward. And even if you were...It didn't seem that way." he holds out his hand. "Yeah. If you will trust me...I will take you to my...home." he wasn't sure saying castle would help him any. He sighs. "Forgive me...where are my manners." he bows and kisses the top of her hand. "My name is Darius V-" he stops himself. "Just Darius for now. Who might you be mylady?" he asks. That Transyvanian accent was thick within his words yet was drop dead sexy as it rolled off of his tongue. He smiles.<br/><br/>"And I would be happy to help you with your research." he says. Gently holding her hand in his. Leading her out of town. "I will not hurt you. I must inform you though that my home is in the forest and is rather...large." he says. Guiding her expertly to a huge clearing that within it rested a HUGE castle straight out of a Dracula movie. He walks to the door and opens it. "Ladies first." He says softly.
