(Ah, something I should note: By default, vampires can 'scent' mages from mortals because of how magic affects their composition, and mages have a sixth sense that can detect if somebody is a vampire {Or even a psychic or the like}. Of course, both have means to obscure this)<br/><br/><em>"Damn it you know better than to talk out loud to yourself when in vampiric territory"</em>, he thinks to himself, as the woman appeared to respond directly to his muttering, then appearing in an instant movement in front of him.<br/><br/>The speed startled him at first, but seeing as she used it not to knock him over and kill him, but to make herself known, he figured she wasn't a feral type, so he didn't try to bind her with a spell or the like. Still, wanting to be cautious, he mutters something in arcane tongue as the shadows around him curl up onto his form, providing a protective barrier of sorts around him.<br/><br/>As she continues talking, he smirks somewhat, "Of course not. No feral fools of your type would approach me otherwse", he says, "Not that you are one of them, it seems", taking a few steps towards where she was seated, glancing her over, gauging her more or less. She would note his eyes had darkened with an eery black as he began to magically scan her...and perhaps look her over more 'casually' as well<br/><br/>"I suppose the first thing to note is that you aren't attempting to kill me...is this your territory?", he asks her, beginning to pace somewhat, although still obviously on edge, as he gauges her response to his presence and his questioning.
