Nathan shifted, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Elysia's dress torn. But he looked away and continued playing, a soft slowly gentle melodious song refusing to feel sorry for her... after it was her fault for not finishing the bastard while he was unconscious... he had at least given her a fighting chance, that was more than she had given him, and she was ten times as strong as he was.<br/><br/>When the maid entered, his eyes drifted upward noting the two large nutrition shakes that were on the trey and being set down on the table. It appeared, Alysia intended on bleeding him shortly, obviously needing to recover from whatever injuries and energy she had expended with dealing with her uninvited guest.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Is there something you want to tell me, Nathan?" Sia asked</span></span><br/><br/>Nathan grimaced as he accidentally missed a note to the song. "Um..." he paused, not exactly sure how to explain that his deceased cousin had been a vampire slayer and that he never had done anything of the sort in such a way that she wouldn't rip his throat out before he could finish.  He wanted to keep playing, but then he thought better of it, the last thing he wanted was the priceless violin to be broken if she were to get angry throw him around a little bit.  Putting the violin back into its case, Nathan took a deep breath carefully trying to approach the sensitive subject... if he knew he would be in big trouble if he didn't explain himself properly... well he was already in big trouble. Nathan tucked violin case away and hesitantly glanced over toward the food trey next to him... hoping to show some good will he took a one of the nutrition shakes and took a large gulp before the taste caught up with him and he shuddered...<br/><br/>"Well," he gagged, glancing down at the half empty glass, before forcing himself to finish the last bit. "I am not a vampire slayer," he began, shifting a little nervously, "My cousin was," he admitted, and grimaced as he glanced over toward the next shake and quickly look away, fighting the gag reflex, they were really terrible! "He taught me how to whistle like that... its just a little trick, kind of a last resort sort of thing, usually if the human has to use it, he is dead anyway, " he explained, "But its also works as a dog whistle," he added smiling weakly. "My cousin is dead, so I don't have any connections to slayers, if thats what you are concerned about," he added, and then glanced over at the second nutrition shake, "I am not a vampire slayer," he assured her again, and grimaced as he glanced the nutrition shake, "Besides, if I was, I wouldn't be trying to choke these shakes down. Besides if I hurt you, I would never be able to pay for my mothers medical expenses," he explained, "And most slayers are snipers, at least thats what my cousin said, I am  not exactly the sort that would blend in...slayers nowadays prefer their 50cal sniper rifles," he insisted and then paused, laughing at the thought, "IF, and I am saying IF I were to even try to join a group of slayers, they would cut me open, and use me like a piece of sexy shark bait," he said and quickly sobered... Alysia didn't seem to be in the joking mood. Nathan glanced over toward the Nutrition shake, "Do I have to drink both of them?" he asked weakly. Although he should consider himself lucky to being served them as it meant she had intentions keeping him alive and not executing him right away .... well it would be rather cruel if she killed him after forcing him drink the awful things.
