Taken back by the little woman's bite as she called him<span style="font-style: italic"> Hell Spawn </span>he chuckled lightly. As she seemed to glare at him he sighed as they twirled across the floor. "Well little mortal, while it's impressive that anyone of your years even knows traditional style dances I'm afraid my dear, will be what I call you until we are a little less, cold." He said taking in her last statment. "And as far as my kind are concerned I couldn't tell you what they have or have not done, but what I have not done, is sadly not that long of a list. You can blame my father for my condition." He said wondering if she had even wondered if he had chosen to turn. "You however are a beauty, your soul is in your eyes." He smiled gently.<br/><br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>His hold was gentle enough and his lead seemed well practiced. With a small sigh she started to try to relax until something moved behind him. "Wha~t?" She asked shocked as their feet left the ground.

She said slightly stumbling over his title-to-be. "Although if you're protecting me you wouldn't hurt me yourself, right?" She asked softly wondering if the horrid title would be the only way that he would bother trying to protect her if any threats were to arise.<br/><br/>"I don't know what I could do for you, but I'd be willing to try to make this work, as long as I'm not food." She tried a light smile. Afterall the four of them would be the deciding factor on whether if peace or war would be their future. "We have to do our best, don't we?"
