Kage narrowed his eyes, looking down at the female in his arms. She was toying with in, that much was abundantly clear. He hitched one side of his mouth, not quite frowning nor smiling. It was an odd expression, he was sure but he did not really care much about what he looked like, just how his body functioned. He slowly stopped walking, and simply stood there staring down at Seraphina and grunted.
"You are messing with me, Seraphina. I may not be the most intelligent person in the world, but I know when I am being toyed with. I said you looked about twenty or so....but you clearly are asking how old I think you are, which implies that my statement is clearly not right. So, the question really should be if you are not how the age you appear, what would your actual age be? This question, I do not have an answer to if you are not the age you appear to be."
He stopped speaking, and continued to stare down at the female he was holding in his arms, wondering exactly what was going on and why she was asking him such a question.

He was clever, and it only made him that much more attractive. Gwen stared into his eyes completely lost in what to do; her mind said don't trust him you've only just met him, but her heart pleaded with her to tell him the truth. Nothing more could come of this unless you show that you completely trust him. Kage had stopped his run and they just remained still there in the empty street for what seemed like hours but in actuality was only a couple of minutes. "Well being entirely honest with you..... I was born in Italy the year of 1795." she said breaking eye contact with him.
She squirmed a little trying to get out of his arms, but the young sleeping dragon was making it difficult. Eventually she managed to find her feet and cradled the young dragon like a new born baby. " I have seen many loved ones wither way and perish, I have told very few the truth of who I am. you're one of the five people that know my real name..." She slowly walked to a nearby bench; the loss of blood had made her extremely weak and she felt like she could topple over at any moment.
"I'm a vampyre Kage..." she looked back to him waiting for anything

Kage looked away from her, face a masked of confusion. His eyes where moving along the sky, as he was clearly doing the mental maths involved with the revelation that her statement was involving. When he finally realized it, she had wriggled from his arms and went to a bench and sat down. He looked at her, tilting his head to once side and contemplating her. Perhaps she was crazy, loosing her mind from lack of blood. However the look on her face was not one of a crazy person, nor that of a person who was loosing blood so fast she was loosing brain functionality.
He nodded finally, looking at her with his head still tilted to one side. He was seeing with, not with new eyes, but with a more complete understanding. Her revelation for some reason made sense, and did not scare him. He was slightly intrigued, wondering what being a vamprye actually entailed. He was sure some of the myths might be real, but he highly doubted they all where real.

Kage's extremely Calm response frightened and also calmed Gwen; it was one of the strangest feelings she had ever experienced. Gwen could see the gears at work in his mind trying to comprehend and process the information he'd just been told. She didn't want to push him so she quietly hummed an old Italian lullaby to Sturm while he thought. Her mother had sung her the same song when she was young and it always managed to keep the nightmares at bay.
"So....you're a vamprye. That explains a lot." he finally broke the awkward silence. His response only managed to make her giggle. She didn't mean to but just the tone of the situation combined with how he replied she couldn't help it.
"Yes, is there anything you want to know? I cant imagine that this is everyday news to you, and no i do not sparkle before you ask." She said. She continued to pet Sturm not wanting to wake the young dragon.

Kage burst out in to laughter at her comment. Sparkly vampryes, where did that come from? Anybody knew in their right mind that vampryes did not sparkle, but died when they went out in to sunlight. So yea, he was not entirely sure where that came from. When he finally stopped laughing, he was smiling and shaking his head.
"No, I was not going to ask if you sparkle. I was going to tell you...I ate a lot of garlic the other day...my blood may not be safe to drink."
He grinned, clearly joking with her and playing with her. He stepped forward, and then sighed before sitting beside her nodding.
"Alright, so your a vamprye, which means we should probably NOT take you to a hospital. I highly doubt it is every day that they get walking talking dead people inside the emergency room with no pulse or legitimate way to be alive. So, what can I do to help you heal that wound, because I have a feeling even a vamprye can bleed to death. Maybe even faster then a human, if you really do not make your own blood as is rumoured."

"No, I was not going to ask if you sparkle. I was going to tell you...I ate a lot of garlic the other day...my blood may not be safe to drink." He replies with his own smug grin. Gwen couldn't help but giggle at his comment, many people thought garlic Killed or deterred vampyres; however it only did so if the person they were on a date with had garlic breathe.
Kage sat beside her and Gwen rested Sturm in her lap."First thing is I'm just as alive as you are; we're not the living dead" Gwen tried to not sound annoyed. "As far as healing goes, feeding is fastest way for me to trigger it but...." she said removing the bandage that Kage had made. The cut underneath was clearly infected with a poison of some kind. The veins surrounding it had turned a sickly green. "What ever they toxins they tipped their arrows with his preventing me from healing." Gwen glid her finger underneath the gash in her side; it stung immensely and her finger was now covered in dark murky blood.

Kage looked over at her wound and frowned worriedly. It looked really bad, and although it usually killed most people out right it showed that she was clearly something more then human. The poison would have been tailored towards humans of course, not towards supernatural beings. He leaned over, and looked at the wound carefully, reaching out to gently pulled the shirt away to examine the wound.
"Yes, the poison they use is very typical of them, they use no other. It is their trade mark, dipping their arrows in the weapons then even when my clan simply gets wounded we will die several hours later. We have an antidote now, I am not really sure why they continue to use such crude and medieval tactics. From the looks of it, it is simply slowing your healing, and the poison is not really harming you. I would be afraid to administer and antidote even if I had one with me in fear it would make it worse. Will this heal upon it's own?"
He asked her, looking side ways in to her eyes. If he needed to, he could help her find another way to heal however he did not think it was to give her any of his blood right now. It was the first thing that came to his mind, to offer to let her bite him and drink his blood but after the injury to his hand he did not think more blood loss would be exactly good for his health.

"From the looks of it, it is simply slowing your healing, and the poison is not really harming you. I would be afraid to administer and antidote even if I had one with me in fear it would make it worse. Will this heal upon it's own?" Kage said.
"I think it'll..." Gwen paused. The scent of Kage's blood had reached her nose with Sturm no longer blocking it with his own reptilian scent. Gwen could feel it climbing form the darkest pits of her being; clawing inch by inch drowning away her rational thought. Her thirst had been rekindled and she struggled to fight it.
*I can't do this to him he just saved my life* she thought. She clenched her fists and bit her bottom lip but her primal instincts lashed back out and her; pinning her will power against the wall, and in one swift motion she sank her fangs into Kage's shoulder.
The first trickles were delicious and the only thing that consumed Gwen's thoughts were that she needed more. With each drink she could feel her thirst slink back into its pit and it was then that tears streamed down her cheeks and she removed fangs from Kage's shoulder before she bled him dry. "I'm so sorry Kage; I haven't lost control like that in so long..." she said looking away from him.

Kage blinked and grunted as she suddenly lunged at him, her upper canines no longer the pretty teeth she had once had but where now long razor sharp fangs that pierced through the flesh of his shoulder. His hands came up instantly in defense, ready to strike the female away but he managed to hold his attack off. He knew she was not meaning to hurt him. With the sudden revelation of what she TRULY was, it was all to clear what was wrong. She was injured, and had lost a lot of blood. She needed to get some of that blood back, and his hand was already bleeding....so.....sssoooo......
Kage's mind began to wander. He was no longer really thinking of anything. Well he was thinking of SOMETHING....it just was not about the blood being drained from him suddenly. It was about the fact that there was this beautiful, hot, amazing girl in front of him. Her cloths where tattered and array, torn and bloody, but that simply made her ALL the more sexy. His temperature was climbing, and he felt a stirring. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. His hands where no longer resting at his sides, but sliding over Seraphina's body. Feeling her, touching her....wanting her. Why was he feeling like this all the suddden? Why did he want nothing more then to shove her back, rip her cloths away and....NO!
When she pulled away, he did as well taking a deep breath. His eyes where glassy, and he was biting his bottom lip. His breathing was heavy, ragged, and increased a lot. He felt hot, even to himself, and did not know why. Suddenly he blurted something out, that he did not even mean to, but still managed to slid past his lips and (in his own mind at least) splattered upon the space between them all wet and nasty like. It was an an EXCEPTIONALLY ungentlemanly thing to say, and was extremely rude and inappropriate.
"I wanna fuck you..."
He instantly regretted saying it, and his eyes widened. He quickly stood up, extremely embarrassed and shaking his head. WHY did he just say that? What in the world was wrong with him? Was it the sudden lose of blood from first his hand then Seraphina drinking from him? Was he bothered by that? No! He was not bothered by Seraphina drinking from him in anyway. In fact, it had felt amazing and wonderful, and he really kind of wanted her to do it again.

"I wanna fuck you..." escaped Kage's lips. Gwen's first instinct was to be angry and slap him, but she quickly realized it wasn't his fault. The two gaping holes in his shoulder making that blazingly obvious.
Under normal circumstances Gwen would love to invite the Adonis in front of her back to the hotel and ravish him into the early hours of the morning. The Meer thought of it made her tear up a little more but she could help but giggling. "Maybe when your thinking more clearly Tiger" she said with a smile wiping the tears from her eye.
Gwen looked around at there surroundings and realized that her hotel was only a few blocks away. "Let's get you somewhere you can rest, can you walk ok?" She asked scooping Sturm up . It was going to be a long story trying to explain there condition to the hotel staff; hopefully with how late it was there wouldn't be to many of them around.

Kage was a little confused still, his emotions running wild inside his head from the bite upon his shoulder (although he did not know that). He felt like he was almost high, kind of soaring along life on Sturmgeist's wings grafted on to his back. He could not explain it fully and in the end he did not really have to seeing as Seraphine, oh that beautiful gorgeous Seraphina, seemed to know exactly what was going on.
When she asked if he could walk, he nodded and stood up. He was a little woozy, but he though he would be alright. His hand still hurt like crazy, but he ignored it and looked over at Seraphina and nodded. He would be alright to walk somewhere, but he should really get to their healer so she could heal his hand up before it became pretty nasty wound. However he was not worried about that at the moment. He was far more worried about Seraphina. Just her being there was intoxicating, he wanted to reach out and touch her. He wanted to stroke her hair and remove her....He shook his head and groaned softly. Whatever was causing these emotions he really hoped would go away soon.

The stroll back to the hotel was slow and steady, luckily for them the only people that were out at this hour were drunk and or nearly unconscious from exhaustion. Gwen stayed close to Kage to support him if need be; little Sturm still asleep in her arms. Gwen still felt terrible about biting him; she hadn't lost control like that in nearly fifteen years. She took pride in the fact that she was in control of herself and now it just seemed like she was starting from ground zero.... again.
As they approached the Hotel's main entrance Gwen realized that the Valets and the doormen had left for the evening; leaving a clear path to the elevator and away form prying eyes. The last thing she needed was for someone to she the young sleeping dragon in her arms. The hotels interior was extravagant; a large water fall flooded down into the main lobby and into the out door pool. Intricate Japanese Calligraphy and art adorned the walls and hung form the ceiling. Gwen rushed to one of the private elevators and slipped inside.
The ride to the twenty sixth floor was brief; except for the linger stares of one particular Ninja. It made Gwen wonder if Kage had ever experience the feelings of lust before. After all he was a ninja sworn to a life of training and solitude or something along those lines. If anyone else had looked at her that way she would've gauged there eyes out and turned them into Jelly. With a light ding the elevator came to a stop leading into her private sweet.
"Long Night Gwen?" said one of her private "body guards". More like glorified baby sitter appointed by her sister, luckily for her they didn't seem to care to much that she slipped away from them constantly. " Your sister isn't going to be happy that you ruined that dress, or that you brought a snack back with you" continued giving her a disapproving look. " My sister wouldn't be happy with alot of the choices I make, but...." Gwen's eyes pierced into the soul of the man before her "you are not my sister, and if you give that look again, or insult this my.... associate her again. You will see that my sister isn't the one you should be afraid of". With her point made abundantly clear Gwen lead Kage into the main bedroom.
Once inside she laid Sturm out on one of the Pillows and covered him with one of the many blankets. " I'm sorry for biting you Kage; I know you must feel strange right now, but after a good nights rest you should be good as new. I promise I'll explain everything in the morning." Gwen said softly. Gwen turned for the door and opened it "You get some rest; I need to make a phone call."

Kage followed Seraphina to her hotel, feeling the weakness of his limbs increasing with every step he was taking. He was tired, not only from blood loss but from the sudden surge of emotions and the fighting from earlier. His shoulders slumped, and his feet dragged a little as he walked, but he stayed upright and steady all the way. He paid little attention to what was round him, and probably would not have even noticed if there where lot of people in whatever entryway she was leading him through if there had been. Luckily, Sturmgeist's head was up and active, his eyes and entire head twitching from side to side watching for people. If the reptilian saw anybody, he would simply active his invisibility and disappear in Seraphine's arms. However it never came to that and once in the elevator the little scaled creature curled back up in Seraphine's arms contentedly.
Kage leaned against the wall on the elevator ride, breathing steadily but his eyes remained upon Seraphina the entire trip, sliding up and down her form. His tongue caressed his lips and he sighed once, before the elevator arrived at the floor it was suppose and dinged softly before the doors slid open. He pushed away from the wall, and followed Seraphina out of the elevator and raised his eyebrows at the big brutish looking guards. The one who spoke caught his attention, and then he narrowed his eyes and glared at the man's words. He made a mental note to do something to the guy later. Maybe he would kill him. No, that was to quick and ultimate. Cutting his Achilles' tendon sound tempting, leaving the man crippled and unable to walk properly the rest of his life. Maybe dropping a few drops of Sturmgeist's acidic venom on his face that would leave permanent scars making the man's already ugly face even more deformed.
His thoughts of revenge where interrupted by the opening of the door through which he followed Seraphina and then was quickly shown in to a bedroom. He grinned, almost cracking a perverted joke still being in very much of a 'mood' for her but deciding not to. Maybe that was a good sign, he was able to control the strange urges he was felling at least. He watched as she laid Sturm upon a pillow and covered him with a blanket, then huffed softly. He could not help but to tease the female before she left. "Oh, I see, I do not get tucked in." He grinned, showing her he was simply joking then simply went over to the bed. He looked down at it, then groaned and simply flopped down upon it. He closed his eyes, and taking a deep breath was asleep with in minutes afterwards.

"Oh, I see, I do not get tucked in." He grinned at her. "My rules is if I can't carry you; then I don't tuck you in" she stuck her tongue out at him and smiled. Gwen slipped slipped through the door and into the living room potion of the sweet. "I wonder if this is what he's like when he drinks" she giggled to herself.
One brief scolding from Ada and one phone call to a local doctor later Gwen sat on the floor with a glass of wine decompressing. With the adrenaline of her feeding wearing off, she felt exhausted. Her hair was a tangled mess and she still hadn't changed out of her ruined dress. Gulping down the rest of her glass she proceeded to get up and sneak into the bedroom.
Kage lay sleeping in the bed with Sturm. The Sight was truly adorable and she wished she had her phone to take a picture, but she it was still laying on the kitchen counter; where she'd left it after pooring her wine.Tip toeing towards her suit case Gwen quietly unzipped it. It took her a few moments of rummaging to find fresh under wear and her black satin sleep shorts and tank top.
Gwen silently padded to the oposite side of the room, and into the bathroom. She needed a hot shower to rid herself of all the dirt and blood. Gwen stood examining her wound before hopping I the shower. The sickly green color had mostly faded away and the cut seemed a little smaller than earlier. It's probably be another day or two before it was fully healed. With that out of the way she stepped under the stream of hot water; letting it massage her tired muscles. Lathering her favorite strawberry scented shampoo into her hair Gwen stood there for what seemed like an enternity, just enjoying the aroma of sweet strawberries.

Kage was sleeping heavily, laying completely still upon the bed as Seraphina did whatever it was she was doing. However when she slipped in to the room and watched him sleep for a while then got her cloths to change in to, he stirred a little. As she left, he shifted and sat up. How long had be been asleep? He was not even sure, but he felt a little better. He stroked Sturm's sleeping back, and the little purple scaled dragonling murred softly, rolled on to it's side, then went still again. Kage moved away from the bed, looking around as he stepped out of the bedroom.
The sound of running water caught his attention, and he moved towards the sounds. He stopped outside the bathroom and leaned against the wall listening to the sounds of Seraphina obviously bathing, his lips pulling up at the corners. He waited a few minutes, then simply could not help himself. His hand laid gently on the handle, and he opened the door silently. Pulling it open just enough to slip through, he closed hit quickly behind himself so as not to let to much air out of the bathroom and cause a cold draft. Then he simply moved over and leaned against the wall, watching Seraphina's slightly blurred frame bathing in the shower, crossing his arms and simply watching her enjoying the scent of her strawberry scented soap or shampoo. He crossed his arms, settling and simply enjoying watching her.
