Sasha realized she must have not heard him. It didn't really matter, but he was still kind of mad about it, he didn't know why. He turned, took Emily down stairs. He needed to get her some things, he put her in the car and drove to the store. Maybe he would take her out to the park afterwards.<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>A slightly shorter vampire female came up to them. She was a lot younger then Degnar but older than any human, though she looked to be around Kiyoko's age. Kiyoko had seen her before but didn't really know her. The vampire apologized for Toren, calling him an idiot, a potentially dangerous move on her part. But she was glad that she didn't think her a monster like he did. She took a breath and put on her false personality even though it was harder to, as she was still focused on wanting Toren to pay. But this is what she's been practicing to do her whole life. Pushing away other feelings and acting like someone she not, she then said in a masked cheery tone.<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Thank you, he's just on edge from the news. But there was no harm done." </span></span></span>She lied, as she wanted to rip that ancient to pieces, for bringing so much attention to her like that. But that would only make it worse, so she refrained. She will just have to kill many humans tonight to satisfy her blood thirst.<br/><br/>Kiyoko could hear the nervousness in the girl's voice. When someone is fearful, reassure them with kind words, she thought.<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Of course you can come with me. I would love to have you there. I have to go to the Library now, but I can meet you back here before night fall."</span></span></span>She said, wondering if this could be the start of a friendship. Other than Degnar she didn't really have any friends. She wasn't even sure when someone would qualify as a friend. But friendships were normal so she wanted one.<br/><br/>Degnar had been letting Kiyoko do the talking. It was good for her to be social. He made it a point to know the people in the theater, even if he knows this vampire has been showing up less and less. She was a little jumpy, but she was still young in his mind, but then almost everyone was. This vampire would make a good ally for his daughter. Degnar then looked at her and started to speak in German so that Kiyoko couldn't understand them.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4000FF">"Rosalie, you should be careful what you say about elder vampires. They can be very prideful, and that can be dangerous. Especially Toren he thinks he thinks he is far more important than he actually is. He has stepped out of bounds a couple times too many. But after tonight it wont matter, I'll make sure of that."</span></span></span>He was giving a glare that would send shivers down the toughest spines.<br/><br/>He then gave a reassuring smile and continued.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4000FF"> "Kiyoko will hunt tonight not out of hunger, Rosalie. She stores the excess food to sell, so don't worry about having to share with her. Just don't take her kills, and don't waste food or eat unnecessarily. You could say she has a couple pet peeves. Don't point out her behavior as odd, all that acts as a trigger for her. If you keep that in mind she'll be a good ally for you. She is extremely skilled and deadly. Her love of killing is part of what makes her strong. But she will be kind to you so that you don't think she is strange. So be gentle with her okay, she can be very sensitive. I care about her very much and she could use a friend. Just don't upset her, okay?"</span></span></span>He made sure not to sound like he was threatening her, he was telling Rosalie this for her own safety. But if she hurt his girl in anyway, there would be hella to pay. Though Degnar hoped he could trust this vampire. She seemed like a decent person and someone who could relate to Kiyoko. And he didn't want to have to worry about her when taking care of his problems. If Toren wasn't dealt with, Degnar wasn't sure if he'd be there to stop Kiyoko next time.<br/><br/>Kiyoko wasn't sure what they were saying to each other. But she had gone back to thinking about Toren. He was a problem, but with everything Degnar was giving her to do, she wasn't sure she was going to be able figure out what to do about it. Not for a little while anyway.
