The grey-haired elf cleared his throat and accepted the woman's hand. Brushing himself off in embarassment, Keji blushed deeply as he replied.
"You're seeking a vampire clan?" His tone was flowing, but caught slightly as the elf continued to wipe away his humiliation. The ash-colored vampire tilted his head slightly, pondering if he should say anything. Perhaps keeping his fangs behind closed lips was the best idea for now. The second-hand leader of the clan kept his mouth shut, not wanting to endanger his clan on the first day as part of it.
"What are you doing here?" the firm voice of Esmme startled the elf, making him twitch involuntarily. "Why are you looking for my clan, girl?" The way the normally gentle woman sounded was enough to show that Es was protective over her clan... it was her new family, despite how small it was.
Keji stepped forward to stand on his leader's right-hand side, staying slightly behind the elven vampire. The fire that burned in her bright blue eyes made her seem feral... and Keji didn't want that aimed at himself.
