William was following Myth at a slightly bigger distance than usual. When a cold hand snagged his arm, the youth's gaze immediately shot to Vanya's face. The girl from earlier. He listened in silence, looking a bit freaked out that a vampire was speaking to him.

"Tremere," he breathed, looking in the direction Mythik had gone. He'd be beaten for lagging behind, for sure. . ..

"No," William whispered. He honored his master, loved him, and never wanted to leave him. It was the beaten dog complex: he would continue to adore the one thing that was killing him. His heart rate picked up as he met the woman's eyes, but when she released him the youth frowned. Why had she even offered him sanctuary? He didn't need it. He wouldn't need it.

William watched the redhead leave. Slowly stepping after her, he glanced in the direction of Mythik. What would he do without the Brujah? He'd die, that's what. Shivering, the human quickly went after his master to catch up. He was more than lucky to find Myth before the Brujah noticed his absence.

((Aaaaaand I introduce my own Tremere!! ))

Burns. Burned, scarred fingers. The vampire inspected his own hands for a few moments before sighing in resignation. Once more, he'd found that magic could mark an immortal in ways that blades and guns could not. Kai stood, his tall form rising from the darkness that he called his resting place. He was considered all too tall - even by most of the vampires he knew.

I hate magic. Yet, he was a Tremere. They thrived with their magic. Pushing wire-rimmed glasses up his nose, Kaiden Shayl raked dark hair from his face. His pale features were full of disgust and resignation. He was a vampire. He was a Tremere. There was no changing either, and he hated both.

"No use complaining about it, fool." Kaiden shook his head and stepped out of the darkened room. It was finally dark. He'd been "sleeping" all day, and now was the time to feed. Sadly, he'd let his store run low. There was nothing to eat - so he had to hunt.

Wrinkling his nose, the male reached for his black coat. I hate hunting. If he could find nothing, then he would have to purchase a meal from one of the local "restaurants" that sold humans for temporary feedings. I used to be one of them, and now I use them like a goblet of wine.

Kaiden stepped out into the night air with a frown of disgust on his pretty face. The Tremere ignored the world around him - which wasn't easy, but he was used to it - and picked a street. He'd hunt for a few hours, and if he found some unfortunate soul, he would take what he needed.

Xander had turned red at Hyde's question "It might be why do you ask?"He'd looked over and watched Ai mention something about dancing she had seemed excited about dancing with him. He did blush some and then turned his focus back on Hyde "Do you think you'll find work?"he had smiled and then wondered if the bar was closed for the evening with all that went on.

Hyde chuckles."I have a talent for telling these things. You seem like the kinda person to only stick around a place for a certain amount of time when are interested in something or someone, and considering the only two people you talk to are AI and myself, one can only assume that you have taken an intrest in her." He says. "Unless of course it is me you have taken a fancy too." he smirks, chuckling some more. "I hope i can find work at least. It difficult to find people who are willing to hire a guy like me though."

Xander laughed "Well your talent is remarkable"he smiled and was still watching Ai. He then leaned closer and whisperedWhy do you think she's taking an interest in me?"he blushed some more when he said that. Xander then got really serious "Well it isn't easy to find work and I wonder if the bar is closed now"Xander had smiled and fidgted a little.

Vanya sighed as she rubbed the side of her face as she moved out of the bar, it was bad, the human didn't want to be free or safe and was hung up on her being a Tremere. She didn't get it, she was just being honest and trying to save him from a brute, but yet he rather stay with a brute then being safe in a place where he could be him self. She was still deep in thought as she headed down the road to her home/shop, bumping into a fellow Tremere along the way. "I am sorry. I seem to have been lost in thought." she said to the be speckled Tremere, giving him a smile as she moved around him, nodding to him once more as she headed down the street once more.

"Very lost," Kaiden said, smoothing his black coat with a frown. He fixed his glasses before watching Vanya step away. She'd swerved right into him, really. He scowled, but then readily forgot what was bothering him. The Tremere marked the woman as another from his kind before following her.

"You wouldn't happen to know where to grab a meal, would you?" He stepped up beside Vanya, a smile on his face. "I'll forgive you for bumping into me if you offer me a place worth hearing about."

Vanya snorted as she ran a hand through her long hair, thinking for a few minutes before she looked back at him, seeing all the signs that he was a Tremere also. "Well there are a lot of places around that you can get a meal from. Like the blood bank for example." she said to him as she gave him smiled once more at him, though she had a sneaky suspicion about him, after all blood was something that spoke to them both. "There isn't really a place that is worth hearing about. I can give you a meal though i do not have a pet." she said to him, letting him know that it was going to be a bit well stale for his taste, but she had promised to only get her food from a blood bank or a grocery store.

Kaiden slowly smiled. He suddenly seemed to relax a bit, looking much more friendly. "That's the only way I take my meals." Stale. He had never enjoyed hunting, though it was a necessity if a vampire was going to feed. "I can pay you in return. Is there anything you need fixed? Healed, perhaps?" His magic consisted of using blood and teleportation. An odd mixture, but handy.

"My master doesn't appreciate me straying from my studies for long. I've already been away for an unnecessary amount of time, I'm afraid." The extremely tall male pushed his glasses up his nose, looking much more comfortable - but still reserved. "You offered a meal. Would you be offended if I took you up on it?" Perhaps feeding would be more pleasant with company?

"Well then......" Vanya said to him, though she had let her sentence drift off when she saw her shop, a crestfallen look came upon her face as she looked upon the destruction that someone had caused once more. "Oh no......they did it again." she said sadly as she walked up to her home, touching the broken glass and ruined potted plants. "Ah i am very sorry. Of course you can come in and eat with me." she said as she sighed heavily, pulling her keys out to unlock the door, though it was unnecessary for her to do so at the time. "Come on in, try not to step on any thing that is a plant or broken." she said to him, after all she kept a broom next to the door to sweep anything out the way so as not to well get blood all over the place.

Hyde whispers back to Xander, "I'm sorry my friend, but i can't go around talking about women's affections when they wouldn't want me to, that is just impolite. He said chuckling. "What I can say though is you might want to get your ass to the dance floor if you want to find out. Hyde then thinks about what Xander had to say about finding work. "I'm sure I will find something soon." he smiles. "I'm pretty sure the bar will stay open for a little while longer. I think i might head back down there for another drink myself."

"Right" Xander had once again peaked over his shoulder. He had to wonder if dancing with Ai was smart but it was just dancing. He had sighed "You should buy me a drink he then shook his head and read Ai's thoughts and she seemed so excited to dance with him. "I'm gonna head downstairs" he had agreed that it was time to leave anyway and then left the room and went back down to the bar.

Aimi smiled at Avilin and then grinned as she saw Xander go downstairs. "I'm going to go dancing, I will see you in a bit. By the way, you should talk to Hyde at the bar... He's looking for a job." she said in her friend's ear and then walked down the stairs slowly. She adjusted her dress a bit so she looked alright and then looked from the stairs to find Xander on the dance floor. She finished walking down the stairs and then slowly wove through the crowd. Coming to stop infront of Xander, she smiled at him flirtasiously. "Do you dance up close or seperate?" she asked curiously.

Xander smiled back and laughed he then shook his head "I normally dance up close" he had turned red and smiled nervously. He then held his hand out to Ai "Would you like to dance?"he was nervous about dancing and wondered if it showed and he pushed his hair out of the way.

Raphael as soon as the meeting ended made his escape. In truth his office was in a room right off of the meeting room. It also overlooked the club with a full mirrored wall. There was another door off of the office that lead to the three bedroom apartment above. In which Raphael lived in with Aimi. The third was a guest bedroom. He headed upstairs into the apartment. There it was completely soundproof from the club music. Hunger burned in his stomach, and quickly he made his way to the fridge. Pulling out a blood pack from the drawer below and pouring the old liquid into a glass. Just a little bit to keep his hunger at bay. It was strange, he was surrounded by slaves, but never took the chance to feast from them.

"Yes, I'll speak with you later." Avi said to her good friend. She mentioned a man by the name of Hyde. She only assumed it was one of the two males who had been mentioning work eariler. Avilin was not paying much attention to them though and did not catch who. "Thank you Aimi." She poked around the room for a bit longer. Listening to crowd before making her way downstairs and to the bar. One thing Avilin hated the most was being surrounded by too many people, and people who would eat her. It was far too unsafe for someone the likes of her. The bartender, now a vampire asked what she would have to drink. Avilin, playing it safe simply said water. Since vampires and weres would drink that more often in these places.

"I'll consider it"he says to Xander as he leave the heads down stares. Hyde starts to head back down to the bar.

Sitting down at the bar, he could see that a lot of the people have started heading home. Looking at his watch, he could see that it was starting to get late. He didn't really have any place to be though, so he would just stick around there. He looked at the bartender. "I will have a bourbon on the rocks please."he says to him. He looks around the bar, and sees the girl from the meeting sitting there.

Aimi smiled seeing Xander's hand extended towards her, and took it. The warmth that came to her was completely foriegn, but she liked that. Stepping close to him, she put her other arm around his neck. The song was fast and upbeat, and with it pounding through her, Ai just couldn't resist moving her body. Her body moved fluidly, her hips shaking back and forth to the beat as her body followed, her hips brushing Xander's. She wondered just how well he would dance.

Xander had smiled back and put his hand on the arch of her back. She was warm and felt good which had felt really strange to him but still felt right. He had started to follow her motions and enjoyed the sound of the upbeat music playing in the background. "So you seem to like to dance"he said letting out a light laugh and had in fact felt alive by how they were dancing.

Aimi smirked hearing Xander, and gave her own laugh. "I love music, and it just moves me." she said lightly before moving her head back as her favorite song came on. Boody work. Now this was a song she could get into. "I'm warning you. I really get into this one." Ai said and soon her hips were really moving, her body brushing against his warm one. The feeling was great as she did her best to put her whole being into the dance. She then turned and had her back against his chest, leading his hands to rest on her hips. The feeling made her feel alive, excited even. She never had danced like this with her master before, even if she had dreamed too. This feeling was something she was enjoying to the fullest.

Xander had enjoyed Ai's favorite song he'd followed her motions as she danced close to him. His hearted started to pound at his hand on her hips but he went along with it. "It is a good song"he said and smiled and he could feel that this was the best she felt he'd put his all into this song since it was her favorite. Xander decided to ask "So why did you decide to dance with me?"he had still continued to dance and turned Ai around to face him then he gave her a twirl and pulled her close to him and started to move his body to the music again.

The feeling of Xander dancing with her to her favorite song made her nearly giddy. His heat was something extraordinary, and Aimi wanted to remember it forever. As the song ended, and she laughed as she was twirled. Her bangs fell over her right eye, but with a jerk of her head they got out of her eyes. Looking into Xander's eyes, she smiled softly. "I don't know... I've never danced with anyone, or been close to anyone like me..." she said and blushed a bit. She was scared Master would see her dancing with Xander, because he was extremely protective, and he would definately bite her so she would regret it. But at the same time, she couldn't imagine how it would feel to be held closely to Xander. He was handsome, kind, and he was like her. It was something so new to her that it was exciting.

Xander had just smiled at her response and smiled. Her excitement and the rhythm had rubbed off on him. He then pulled her close and wrapped his arm around her. "That was a good answer"he laughed and started to move his body again to the music. He'd really gotten into the song playing now and the feeling of having her dance with him felt right. Everything about Ai felt right to him as they danced together and he couldn't help but feel happy dancing with her.

Aimi felt her blush going away as she was dancing with her new friend and dance partner. Xander was really starting to get into it, and Ai soon found herself lost within the world they were sharing. He was so handsome, but she worked with a ton of hansome men. What set him apart was that he was like her, and she had never seen a male were creature so handsome. His warmth, his kindness, and his respectfulness that he had for her privacy with his powers was amazing. She grinned at him and then looked at the bar. She should never have a drink, because she was needed for her master, but seeing her friend sitting at the counter.

Xander noticed that Ai was getting excited by them dancing. While girls were never interested in him he could tell that she enjoyed dancing with him. The blush had disapeared from her face as she got more comfortable throughout their dance. He didn't read her mind but could feel that she was enjoying her time and the feel of her with him felt right. Suddenly the song changed and got more upbeat so he guided her to dance faster with him.

Ai was surprised as the song changed yet again. Feeling her body getting pulled closely to his, a blush rose to her cheeks. She wanted to stay close to him, and she wanted to get to know him. Questions and wants ran through her body, but she couldn't get herself to look away from her dance partner. His eyes were so bright. She was used to men liking what they saw from her, but only her master had acted on those feelings. Xander was really the only other male to have approached her, well and Hyde, but she felt different about him. "Thank you for dancing with me."

Xander had just smiled and couldn't look away from Ai. "It is my pleasure we got a chance to dance"he could see that she was curious about him from reading her mind. Her blushing was cute and he was enjoying her and swaying to the music "So what would you like to ask about me" he'd slid his hands onto her hips and looked into her eyes. She was shy and he could read that it was like they were connecting as one and he could feel it. Dancing was so energizing for him especially with her.
