blood falls

[Scautty]

"...Oh." The indiscreet deliverance of the answer struck me hard. It was almost like he didn't care. Was the lifestyle of such a creature so similar to that of a human to where it wasn't life-threatening?

"Um... Well how about the blood thing? Like... Why blood?"

[Shenzii]

Rowan frowned slightly. "My own mother... She attacked me when I was 5. And the reason we feed on blood is because It gives us strength. If the blood is healthy that is." She looked at the grilled steak and the scallops. A platter of friend shrimp arrived. "Here is your appetizer," Gaston smiled setting it down.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

The realization of Rowan's change almost kept him from not eating. But, when the chef laid the shrimp down, he almost ate half of it before realizing there were two other people who havn't eaten yet.

[Shenzii]

Rowan smiled weakly as she reached for a couple shrimps. "This is amazing Gaston." She said smiling. He smiled and hugged her. "No need to remember hard times, little mushroom." Rowan blushed and smirked. "Thanks Gaston."

[Scautty]

"I'm... very sorry about the reminder." I picked out one of the small fish off of the platter. I hadn't realized my appetite until the shrimp had thoroughly been chewed on. It was magnificent! The taste, the texture, the temperature. I slowly reached for another after swallowing the last. This continued in a mannerful way, leaving enough for the others still. "Um... Is there alot of vampires in the community you could say?"

[Shenzii]

"Well... of course. You seem really curious about us... Is something wrong?" Rowan looked at him oddly. She ate another shrimp.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Cyrus lifted the plate up and let the shrimp fall into his mouth and chewing the shrimp, savoring the intensity and complexity of the flavor. I'll be damned if I ever have to eat rations again!

[Shenzii]

Rowan laughed at Cyrus' remark. "You will never have to again." She smiled at him and blew him a secret kiss.

[Scautty]

"Oh, sorry. I'm just curious is all. If I am to work for the kingdom I don't want to stumble into anything I need to know now." I reached for a shrimp splitly after Cyrus munched all of them down. In reaction, I itched my head with the same hand. I really don't want to seem suspicious of anything... Well, now I'm not. I just want to be on their good side.

[Shenzii]

Rowan looked at him. "I think there's more to that... a side that you aren't telling us." She smirked, her small fangs flashing.

[Scautty]

The fangs gleamed - a serious occasion. So serious I would portray it. I leaned in closer to them, blanketing my fear completely with the anger that flooded my mind. "My boss tried to kill me. Wouldn't you be a little ticked?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono sobered up from his tasting of bliss. "Sure, but I wouldn't be making 'friends' with the intent of using them to get even....not like thats whats happening..."

[Scautty]

"I'm not here to use people." His attitude had me at sudden realization. "I don't USE people. That's what my boss does. No, I'm here to start a new life. I was sent to the lion's pit, so I'll make good use of it by making friends with these... 'lions.'" I sat up taller. My eyes still fixated on Cyrus. I wasn't going to let my fear immobilize myself from making friends with one that can kill me instantly, before I could know it. "Maybe I CAN get a good revenge on him. It would ease up the situation of him scouting after me, may that happen. But that's all up to you guys. He's after your kind, and I'm not. Do you not wish to overcome the outward force?" I brought my face down a bit.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"I dunno...I'm more keen towards just being with Rowan and not having a care in the world...." He said while waiting on the other meal to arrive.

[Scautty]

"That's where the outward force comes in." I motioned into his eyesight, as to not break interest. "You two seem very happy together... My boss probably has more information on you than your memories can depict. He can kill off anyone he sees fit. And with a suffering climax, might I add. He can kill anyone..." I glared at Rowan.

"Even Her Majesty."
