"Nathaniel. My name is Nathaniel"<br/><br/>The young man didn't let his eyes off the well-dressed servant, even as he left them. Aris stood beside him, glancing over at him somewhat confused at what he was glaring at. She headed back to her room, when she felt a dizzying feeling. She had felt this before, more than a few times, so she wasn't surprised it was happening again.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">...That man... he knows...</span>Aris glanced back, Nathaniel was looking straight at her, with such seriousness in his eyes it scared her. Nathaniel was able to invade her thoughts, in more ways than one. He had told her one night that he was the only one he knew who could speak subconsciously to anyone else. She looked over at him, a slight, amused smile appeared on her face.<span style="font-style: italic">It's not as if I hid myself very well anyways.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Not that! That Capet... he knows one of us is a demon.</span>Aris grew pale at the thought.<span style="font-style: italic">But...how?</span>He began walking to his room, looking away from her.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">That damn Claude Early...I wouldn't be surprised if he told the entire neighboring town!</span>Nathaniel's lips moved, silently cursing the man. He was a threat to him, that he was certain of.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">You can't be sure...</span>Nathaniel turned back, his fierce gaze resting on her. She looked with pleading eyes, trying to convince him they were safe there, that they would not have to run.<br/><br/>Nathaniel let out a sigh.<span style="font-style: italic">All I know is this: once we get out of this, I don't care to see that Claude again.... Or Capet. He is an unnerving man.</span>Aris let out a giggle, despite herself. Nathaniel let himself smile ever so slightly.<br/><br/>He spoke aloud. "Goodnight, Miss Aris."<br/><br/>Aris smiled, "It's nearly a good morning, Nathaniel."
