“Half-Elf that explains a lot,” Xnovia smirked,<br/><br/>Nathan swallowed hard and hesitantly nodded in affirmation, the way Xnovia was smirking he wasn't entirely certain if she was pleased to learn what she perceived to be the truth or if she only intended to probe further and catch him in lie to find out what he really was.  When she threw up her umbrella, Nathan flinched as he was half expecting her to strike him for not being up front with her.  His heart began pounding in his chest and he hesitantly glanced back up at the peculiar angel as she declared that he would be reading up on volumes of books about herself.<br/><br/>"Oh... yes... yes of course," he replied, and smiled nervously as he quickly did his best to regain his composure.  Fortunately the meeting was brief and soon Xnovia flew off back to her chambers to get out of the sunlight.<br/><br/>Approximately a few hours later as the sun was beginning to set an elderly man in butler's outfit approached him with a enormous book and very large, expensive,  ornate, and important books.<br/><br/>Outwardly Nathan forced himself to smile as if he was receiving some sort of birthday present; inwardly he groaned at the extra burden being piled on-top of him.<br/><br/>"Wonderful, they are so big! and heavy!" Nathan exclaimed, doing his best to sound excited.  While the elderly butler went to greet Asia, Nathan turned and let the heavy codex rest on a wooden table and opened it up....surely all the important things would be illustrated with pictures.   Nathan glanced upward when the man turned giving him a somber glare and an ominous vow of vengeance if harm came to those he affectionately considered to be his daughters.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF00"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">“If you hurt my daughters lad I will kill you,” he spoke</span></span></span><br/><br/>For a mortal to make such a threat toward him was almost laughable, but Nathan did his best to appear to be somewhat surprised and shaken, even though the old man physically didn't pose much of a threat to him, Xnovia certainly did, not to mention every other vampire or which who wanted to take his blood and harvest his insides for magic and the last thing he wanted to show of and expose himself just because a silly old man wanted to talk and act tough... if he did that, well, he would be back on the run and sleeping in ditches. Nathan's magenta eyes went wide and he nervously took a step back.<br/><br/>"I assure you, the last thing I would do is harm the one who is protecting me," he assured him, which was the truth. Xnovia was providing the perfect cover for him, and even if the hunters found out where he was...well they wouldn't be stupid enough get in the royal affairs of Vampire Death Angel!<br/><br/>Fortunately Xnovia walked in and the aggressive and protective older male turned and left the stables. Nathan turned and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the vampiress. Her cold glowering appearance seemed to have softened...she appeared almost human, at least her wings were hidden and her face was much warmer...however none the less regal and authoritative.<br/><br/>Nathan smiled and gave a slight bow, "Good evening," he greeted her, however instead of saying hello, or offering any normal conversation she quite literally went straight to the throat...<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #40FF00"> “Nathan may I Please have your neck.”</span></span></span><br/><br/>The smile of Nathan's face faded, and he swallowed hard...even though she had been polite, and said 'Please May I'  there was not a question on the end of those words... it was a straight forward command...one that he was obligated to obey.<br/><br/>His heart began racing in his chest, when he attempted to put the broom down it all the clattered to the floor.  "n-n-now..." he gasped as he was utterly, unprepared for this... at least he had thought she wouldn't feed on him while he was dirty from working in the stables.<br/><br/>The look in Xnovia's eyes informed him that was a very stupid question, and he quickly grabbed a cloth turned to the faucet and hurriedly washed his face hands and neck lines with the damp cloth.<br/><br/>Once he was finished freshening up, Nathan hesitantly approached the Vampiress and pushed aside his long flowing white hair exposing his fair nearly glowing white unblemished skin of his throat.<br/><br/>When the Xnovia's cool hands grasped him gently on his shoulders, the Nathan closed his eyes and inhaled sharply as suddenly he felt the sharp  prick of her fangs followed by a sharp sting as they pierced his flesh!   However moment's later the pain subsided, and Nathan's grew less tense, however it was still quite sudden new, and very frightening experience.... he was a completely at her mercy!<br/><br/>However soon, just like pain from the fangs began to ebb, fear also fade as he found himself suddenly overwhelmed by cloud of utter and absolute euphoria and he groaned softly in pleasure. This too however faded as this was soon replaced by a sense of dizzness, and the next few minutes his lips felt numb....<br/><br/>Strength left him! Nathan didn't remember falling, but moments later he was on his back in a while of fresh hay with Xnovia hovering over him with an amused and very pleased smile on her fac. Nathan smiled back up at her nervously, as she seemed like was fight to urge to pounce on him for more. Whether he had fallen from blood loss or just passed out from pure excitement of the whole ordeal.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">. "You may sleep here if you wish, but I have a room prepared for you."</span></span></span><br/><br/>Nathan grinned and nodded, his legs wobbled from beneath him as he rose to his feet.<br/><br/>Although he didn't remember how he got to the room, but he woke up in a nice warm soft bed and the smell of fresh bacon and eggs and the face stern face of frowning elderly woman with her hands on her hips, glowering down at him.<br/><br/>"When was the time you day?" she demanded.<br/><br/>Nathan quickly rolled of bed and pounced on the food cart and began scarfing down huge breakfast in front of him.  "Last week, maybe..." he responded with his mouthful.<br/><br/>The woman raised a bushy brow in surprise, "A week ago!" she exclaimed.  "No wonder you passed out! IF you are to be a proper PNC you need to have a proper feeding regiment!" she scolded him.   "Our Lady will be expected to be returning from work within the hour!  and she will likely be hungry as well!" she snapped at him.<br/><br/>"I recover quickly," Nathan responded calmly in-between two large bites of toast.  "Its...uh... because I am part elvish,"   he added quickly...this of course was a lie, he needed to have some way of explaining his rapid healing in the future.<br/><br/>"You better or you won't live long!" She huffed and slammed a large green shake in front of him, "Vitamins! this will help keep you healthy and not sick! No PNC has gotten sick on my watch and you are not going to be the first!" she declared.<br/><br/>Nathan glanced at the green shake and grimaced...however one look at the maid and he  was quickly rebuked for it.<br/><br/>"Its your duty to our Lady! or shall I inform her that you are not maintaining yourself and consider looking for replacements?" she snapped.  Nathan sighed and quickly choked down the horrid green vitamin drink and passed it back to her.<br/><br/>"Now, get out of bed! you need to exercise! you need to washed up and get clean clothes for our beloved Lady,"  She snapped, and handed him a clipboard of his chores and also his mandatory nutrition, and work out regimen.<br/><br/>Nathan's magenta eyes narrowed and then he glanced over toward the woman. Martha raised her eyes and folded her arms crossly daring him to question her.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>After several forced miles around a track, Nathan was then hustled into shower room where at last he was left alone.<br/>Nathan took his time enjoying the hot water on his skin, he then took the scented bar of soap began scrubbing himself from head to toe until his skin was not just white it was almost glowing white! ... as he lathered up his long wintery white hair shampoo a few thoughts that crossed his mind ... was this like adding seasoning for a vampires? or was this simply washing their food!... whatever it was, the soap and shampoo had strongly appealing fresh aromas that might've made him hungry and no matter how many times he rinsed out his hair or rinsed off with fresh hot water the aroma seemed to cling on to him, making him feel refreshed and yet a extremely self aware at the same time.<br/><br/>Once he was finished, he was dressed into the clean clothes that were laid out from him.  Black dress pants and long sleeve red silk shirt collared dress shirt.<br/><br/>As Nathan walked into his room, he found his violin case ...but just as was about to reach inside and play it... he paused and glanced over at the codex which was set beside it... and swallowed hard.<br/><br/>This was going to be much harder than he originally had thought.   Nathan hummed, and opened the codex and skimmed over the pages... mostly looking at the pictures...  soon however he gave into the temptation opened his violin case and began to play a lovely upbeat old irish tune.<br/><br/><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/2ZxAVUsuE4Y"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/2ZxAVUsuE4Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" wmode="transparent"/></object>
