(To Elizabeth/Vanessa)<br/><br/>Arya hesitated as the blonde beauty extended her hand for her. With caution, she took the woman's hand to greet. The vampire woman was cold but not ice.<br/><br/>Scanning the room, she noticed so many different people and creatures.. Vampires were once humans and yet now.. It was easier to spot a vampire apart from a human. For vampires held an unearthly beauty about them.<br/><br/>"Elizabeth.. You can call me Arya if you wish." She answered in a steady tone. Usually, the young American was quite flippant in her remarks but for now it was wise not to stir trouble at the party.<br/><br/>Watching the woman carefully, she followed her in to the dining hall, the letter from Ignatius still in hand. "Is the master of the estate here?... Dracula?" She hesitated to say- not sure if it was safe to speak such a strong name. "I have a letter for him." She offered the letter to the woman. "If this can be delivered to him, I'd be grateful." She lied smoothly, her brow twitching upward showing some distaste for the matter at hand.<br/><br/>Walking into the dining hall, a small gasp escaped the flame haired woman's lips as she took in the beauty that was this room. "Your home is nice." She answered cooly. "I've been told a room will be here for me until it's decided if I shall.. Be staying here or not." She shifted her weight to the left- away from the bride. "I'm sure I will find myself comfortable but it would be nice to know soon." She said the last part in a sharper tone. Arya was clearly not find vampires or this arrangement; but nothing would change her fate. She would be given death or eternal death. Regardless, she was trapped.<br/><br/>Of course the unearthly beauty that came with being a vampire was appealing.. Eternal life may even be appealing- there was a dark allure to the danger of becoming the undead; but the young woman was far too impetuous and independent to let her life be loved for another. If the myths of Dracula were true, then she did not wish to become another bride simply for his pleasures. She would find a life beyond the cage of his darkness.<br/><br/>Her thoughts drifted away for only a mere moment until a servant crossed her path with a tray that smelled delicious. It had been hours since she ate so now seemed like a good time and perhaps it would calm her nerves.<br/><br/>She had noticed the reporter woman and studied her for a moment. Her outfit was not expensive as most the people here seemed to be dress- herself included. But still she has a style to her and she was obviously human. The one thing that stood apart from her and this woman though was the wonder in this woman's eyes. She seemed so.. Eager? She knew the vampires were predators did she not? Was she a fool of just brave? Who knew...<br/><br/>"If you'll excuse me... Elizabeth." She regarded the vampire bride with respect but a healthy fear before walking the the journalist and in the direction of food.<br/><br/>Grabbing a plate, she helped herself then grabbed a glass of wine before noting the woman. "You seem lost or excited." She noted to the woman but was polite.
