<span style="font-weight: bold">"Darker, huh."</span>Erwin mumbled to himself at the human's words, but then, at least he would be allowed to interact with him if he wanted. Which meant that he wouldn't be completely shut away. The vampire knew why the idea bothered him, but he still wasn't sure if he truly wanted to talk to the other boy. Well, as long as the other was being civil, he couldn't see why not. He frowned, though, when the human said he didn't mind the vampire's presence, and even kneeled down on his side. True, he was keeping his distance, as if afraid the other would try anything, but still... Erwin sighed, resting his head on his knees and looking at the other, lips pressed together. Humans never ceased to fascinate, after all.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Well, that's certainly surprising."</span>Erwin half-smiled, as the other said he didn't want him to get caught. In fact, Erwin was sure it was the exact opposite. The offer to find him something to do, though, surprised him even more.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Hmm, I doubt you can find anything, but I appreciate the offer, anyway."</span>he answered, eyes still focused on the other, watching, trying to read the emotions behind that face. Why the boy cared at all, what had changed since their first met... Maybe it had been the surprise, the feeling that his life was threatened, that made him react so aggressively. Erwin smiled again, this time to himself. Maybe this puzzle would be interesting to solve. And maybe his stay wouldn't be so boring after all. He had to find something to entertain himsel with, after all.<br/><br/>The comment about feeding on the residents made Erwin chuckle a little.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I'm not that stupid, don't worry."</span>the vampire ran a hand throgh his hair, frowning.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Besides, almost all vampires have a particular feeding ritual, and we don't prey on any human, anywhere, unless we're really hungry. And I don't think the residents here would be willing to..."</span>Erwin stopped, abruptly, moving his head so he could hide his face behind his hair, embarrassed. He shouldn't be talking about his feeding ritual. It was something private to most vampires, and very few would be willing to talk about how they fed.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Anyway, I won't feed on anyone in here."</span><br/><br/>Erwin watched as the other walked away, slower than normal. He frowned, thinking for a moment, before jumping to his feet and walking fast enough to catch up. He stayed silent for a while, just enjoying the walk, before he looked once again to the human. Maybe it was always his curiosity that made him feel so close with some humans, despite knowing very well he couldn't be more apart.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"So, what exactly is this place?"</span>he asked, wondered if the other would feel annoyed by him trying to make small talk.
