Scarlet reacted the complete opposite way he had expected. Him asking Marissa to take her home seemed to upset her. He made to move but the chosen stopped him. "You must drink first, warrior. Then you can go to your female."<br/><br/>He knew she spoke true. "I'll go talk to her," Marissa said walking out after her.<br/><br/>He nodded and took the chosen's offered wrist, his fangs sinking deep.<br/><br/>Out in the hall Marissa went to Scarlet and knelt before the crying female. "Scarlet, I assure you, he only asked me to take you home because he fears you are frightened of him and want nothing to do with him now."
