Aderyn lifted her fingers from Neo's arm and shifted back. She eyed the vampire for a moment and then shrugged, turning and wandering to the edge of the building to look out at the city. Islwyn was watching and it wasn't as if she couldn't hear the conversation, despite the loud shots earlier. She had no idea how those things attracted Islwyn. Toy obsessed boys. When the vampire said that the feeling had grown stronger as her kin vanished, she slanted a glance at her brother. He flicked the corner of his cloak at her. Turning away again, Aderyn flipped the collar of her plaid jacket up, as if she were cold.<br/><br/>There were things like that, some places. Beasts that ate and grew in the power of those they consumed. Casting lures into the fog of the unmade. Drawing more prey, more power. Here though? Not bloody likely. They were beasts of the unmade not meant to survive above. Anyway, the hum was not right, it was not the same song. It was an interesting thought though. What could a human do to mimic such a beast? What would a human do with such power? Humans were amazing creatures, endlessly inventive.<br/><br/>So perhaps humans would be useful now. She turned around and leaned against the railing. Now she watched the mages. Her perusal was in time for the male to ramble on about his long life. Interesting. The would explain why he was the better mage and even so kind as to describe his area of expertise. Of course, she'd already decided humans would be useful. Still any information was good information.<br/><br/>One thing that was insane was the vampire's scorn for humans. She'd been one. Did they forget, when their spark died away? Perhaps forgetting was the only way to continue on through endless time, forget instead of yearn forever for your spark. Stealing just enough from the living to continue on, still an empty thing. Sidhe lived long, they kept humans, they played with them, tormented them. Never did they forget though, that it was a dangerous game. Especially if you involved mages.<br/><br/>As Neo went on, Aderyn glanced at her brother, sliding into his thoughts,<span style="font-style: italic">~Suppose he'd tell us stories?~</span>The whisper made Islwyn grin. Likely enough they were older than the human still, but it wasn't a contest. By the reckoning of their people they were still young. Traveling above Neo would have seen many interesting things. They'd been held below, to a pocket kingdom of darkness and a vast expanse of unmade. This.. was far more fun. This was new.<br/><br/>When the man suddenly changed his speech the twins both blinked at him. When he finished his explanation to the vampire, Aderyn laughed softly, "Why do you not speak so all the time? That way doesn't give me a headache seeking to understand you."<br/><br/>Then she arched her brows at the vampire, "You live in the void after death creature." Her eyes drifted to the vampire's arm where the faintest burning light was still visible. Then she shrugged and snapped her fingers. The light went out. "You are the human's toy now. Your kind holds no interest for us." She didn't move from where she leaned against the railing, just dipped her chin slightly to her brother.<br/><br/>Islwyn shifted suddenly, his arm flinging his cloak back and he gave Andy a perfect, full courtly bow. "Do what thy will." His brown eyes fairly danced when he said it, a joke in his mind perhaps. "This creature may not like that I turned her friends to dust, but even before we were not termed cattle. It would be amusing to see how she begs of you."<br/><br/>Of course they had both noticed that when the man demanded the vampire beg, she had turned to the two of them, not looked at the other human.
