While Melly’s response brings a mild scowl to his face as he truly would like the two ladies to become friendlier with each other. ”Okay, Melly, do as you wish. You know I rarely try you force to do anything you do not want to do.” He watches as she disappears not knowing or caring where in the house she goes. It does not even bother him if she may choose to spend time with Cameron. She is free to develop any kind of relationship she wants with any of the other unknowns just as long as she continues to be his pet. His eyes return to the lovely redhead and his smile returns in full force. ”I guess it will be just the two of us than.”<br/><br/>Arman offers his arm for the lady to take so that he can escort her as a proper gentleman should escort a lady. He after all was born into the home of minor nobility in Italy over three centuries before and understands proper etiquette, besides he just likes the idea of having such a beautiful woman on his arm. He does however get a faraway look in his eyes. ”Ah, Milan it has been such a long time since I was there. I came to this country shortly after the colonies declared their independence from the British and have not returned to the old country.” He falls silent and the look on his face does not change. It had not been long after his arrival in the colonies and not far from this very spot that he had met the red haired woman and come as close to falling in love as he ever has. They had spent weeks seeing each other, dancing, going to plays, taking moonlit walks, and even a festival. He had however never taken her to his bed because that would have led to him feeding and at the time her death. Not wanting to kill this woman he had simply fled the area one night never to see her again. If only he had learned control before than he could have been happy for at least her lifetime then.<br/><br/>At Muriel’s comment Arman’s eyes snap back into focus and he looks at her again losing his smile. ”I have a hard time accepting the fate would be so cruel as to having a child born never to fully mature but yet not die either. I know what’s done is done and that I accept. I just do not think that this is how Paul was truly meant to be. He may have been born to be one of us but it came too early.” Not waiting for another reply from the ancient one he leads Mariana up to his room where he puts the CD into his stereo. As the modern music starts to play he adjusts the volume to a comfortable level before setting on his bed. He pats the bedspread next him as he looks at her silently inviting her to join him on the bed. He then adjusts the pillows so that he can lean back against the headboard stretching his legs out across the bed.
