A surge of relief filled Nathan and he relaxed his hands from the violin case and managed a slow calming exhalation, as she merely said that his blood was pleasant ... perhaps it was nothing overly positive but then again maybe it was a good thing it hadn't been overly appealing or he might never be allowed to leave even after the contract was up.<br/><br/>Suddenly the mysterious woman rose looking directly at him and spoke to him, inquiring his name. Nathan smiled nervously, he supposed that was good sign in an interview if the employer was interested in knowing his name. He was about to answer when the Vampiress's perfected immortal ivory white form stepped out into the light and he was struck mute by her dark ageless gaze that seemed to stare right through him.<br/><br/>"My name is..." he began and then paused  taking in the rest of her features, he had not expected her too be so beautiful, "Nathan, my name is Nathan Winters," he said softly, yet he had a strong masculine voice, that matched his strong yet graceful nearly angelic features in the way he moved and carried himself, always soft, quiet and meek, like a soft thin fresh layer of snow blanketing the hard ice of a colossal majestic blue mountain glacier.<br/><br/>When she commented about the violin, Nathan smiled and nodded quietly in confirmation although he couldn't help but feel a little nervous as the beautiful vampiress now so close to him that only a few more feet and she would be sitting on top of him.<br/><br/>Nathan tilted his head back a bit surprised by the commanding choice of the word 'Now' in the woman had chosen. He was used to people requesting that he play, but this was not a request,  it was a straight out demand, play it for me...'Now'... Nathan however didn't rush, he was curious as to how things worked... though he supposed he had already signed the contract and was way in over his head already. But he knew if he gave in and rolled over, she might expect it all the time... so instead of jumping at the request he decided he would test the waters.<br/><br/>"No," he said calmly, arching an inquisitive brow curious to see how she would respond, she seemed like a person that always  got what she wanted, when she wanted it. All eyes watched the vampire to see how she would respond to the shocking refusal.  A playful handsome smile crept onto his pale lips, his fingers trailed traced across the frayed edges of the case, undoing the metal latches. "I need to take it out of the case first," he added coolly, he wouldn't outrightly disobey her, he just wanted to see the boundaries, to see how strict she was and or if she appreciated humor or not as it would dictate how he should act around her in the future.  Nathan proceeded to open the worn out case, revealing a beautiful polished red wood Stradivarius. Supposedly it was worth quite a bit of money, but Nathan would sooner auction off his right arm before parting with the instrument. Slowly and calmly, Nathan gently pulled the instrument out of the case and set it under his chin... he closed his eyes clearing his head and focusing on the instrument and then at last he set the bow on the strings, and sweet colorful calming streams of music rose up from the violin.<br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDveCp9q10E">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDveCp9q10E</a>m<br/><br/>Nathan swayed gently to the rhythm listing this way and that, completely emersed into the music. He smiled again, cracking his magenta eyes open watching the vampiress as he weaved in and out of the musical notes. Then with he switched songs going to a more quicker aggressive sound... for this song, Nathan stood up as he couldn't stay still for it... also it gave him a chance get some breathing room as the vampiress had been practically hovering of him. The music wove in and out of him, every fiber of his body to sing it. His heart no longer pounded with rapid flutters induced from fear, but now pulsed it with excitement,<br/><br/>The song he was playing now, was same solo Lestat had played for Queen Akasha in the movie  "The Queen of the Damned" ... he watched to see if she showed any signs of amusement or flattery at possibly at the connection or even if she noticed at all as it was a bit of an older movie.<br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3XQ3EWdKkM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3XQ3EWdKkM</a>m<br/><br/>His movents slowed and then he transitioned to a popular classical piece, one that he was certain she would know, "The Phantom of The Opera" he watched out of the corner of his eye to see if she showing interest, he figured she either would love the darker the darker music as by the way she dressed she seemed to be someone comfortable with seeing what she truly was, or she would be annoyed with it all, it was bit of a gamble on his part.<br/><br/>Nathan finished with a flourish, his white skin and snow white hair might have given him an wintery appearance, but warmth radiated off him as he smiled both from spiritually and literally as his skin glowed with the heat generated from the exertion... he might have not have been jumping around and dancing like lyndssy stirling, but he been moving and had put a lot concentration in music, which made him feel wonderfully alive!
