"I don't really know much about art," Chloe confessed lightly. "Literature is also something I'm not really big with. Most of the books I read are about cooking." She laughed a bit, weakly but still, smiling over at him. "I'm not very...sophisticated, I suppose."

As she continued to follow him aimlessly, not noticing all that much the way he was in a perfect line, while she walked at a brisk pace while occasionally tripping on the cracks of the sidewalk that came from being worn over time. The only thing she noticed was the melody he hummed, causing her to unintentionally hum alongside him. "That's a nice tune.

[Evil Tink]

He paused, cracking open his eyes to peer at her, "Why thank you...I remember hearing it somewhere when I was fairly young."

He removed his hand from his pocket, waving it lightly in the air, "My dear, just because you do not read, or like art, does not mean you're not sophisticated. You just have varying tastes compared to mine. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's nice to meet someone like you. I could use a change of pace."

[Juneberry]

"Yes, but most people don't find cooking to be a sophisticated hobby, for some reason or another. Though it's a fine thing to me. As long as I can make food people will find makes them happy, I'm glad to be able to do it." She smiled to the man with ease, hands wrapped behind her back with fingers laced together. "I've never been good at things that require sitting still, so reading is never really easy for me. I tend to need activity."

[Evil Tink]

"You will be much more successful in like than I will, I'm sure. You make people happy, and these days, that's very important." He casually pulled his hand out of his pocket and put it around her waist. He then lifted her up for a few steps and set her down, letting her go. "Big crack..." he explained.

[Juneberry]

Her face turned an extremely light pink, having been caught off-guard by the gesture. Looking back, she noticed the crack from which she certainly would have tripped and hurt herself, causing her a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you noticed. I had no idea it was there..." She laughed nervously. "I guess my clumsiness is more noticeable then I'd thought, huh?"

[Evil Tink]

Nicolai chuckled softly, "I've seen many people have nasty falls from that particular crack...thought I'd save you the hospital bill." After a few more minutes of walking, he stopped, leaning on the wood railing. He had led her to the pier, enjoying the quiet sounds of the ocean. "What other things do you like to do Chloe?"
[[Sorry for my lame posting today Dx brain dead ;D]]

[Juneberry]

((Did you know they never introduced themselves properly? I just looked back and found out! xD Oh well. And your posting is fine~! =D It still gives me something to jump off of, so I'm fine. As long as I can work off it, it's an okay post in my book. -simple-))

"Um...I like to run and cook, but that's basically it." She laughed a bit, rubbing the back of her neck. "But then again, it's also just what I'm used to. I've been doing track since elementary school, and when my mom first got sick I started learning to cook to help by getting a part time job at the bakery. So... Cooking and running is what I've known for a long time. But I do really like both things. I know it might sound weird, but I guess I just like housekeeping and being busy overall. Running helps me do my housework better, and housework keeps me busy!"

Her giggles were gentle as she hopped over another crack to stop nearby, not leaning on the railing, but rather stretching her legs by leaning more on one than the other, then switching. "What about you?"

[Evil Tink]

He was silent for a moment as he thought. He didn't really do much on his down days. It was either reading, art dealing, sleeping, or drinking teenage girls' blood. With a shrug, he answered, "Not much else really...there's not much here that interests me." Speaking of, he could use a little. It's been a few weeks since he's had any.

He looked back to her, standing up, "Tell me something..." He pulled out his watch from his vest pocket, fiddling with it boredly. When he looked back up at her, his eyes had a soft red glow for just a brief moment, "If I needed a favor from you, would you feel awkward for doing it?"
[[Oh em gee you're right..xD]]

[Juneberry]

She looked at him blankly, finishing her stretches by reaching her arms upward as if trying to catch a star in her palm. "That would depend on the favor. If you want me to cook something for you by all means I'd be fine. But if you want me to read you a book I can't guarantee it." Her eyes looked at him easily, her lips curled into a tiny smile, though blank of emotion. "What could it be that you need from me?"

[Evil Tink]

He stepped forward with a smile, "Well, it might sound strange..but...I need your..blood." He shrugged, replacing the watch in his pocket. "You see, now bear with me even if you don't believe me, but to be blunt, I'm a vampire." He watched her closely, curious as to how she'd react. "Now, does that make you feel awkward?"

Now, normally he would just grab a random girl from the street, knock her out with his power, take her blood and be gone before long. Chloe was different, for some reason. He didn't want to just up and bite her and leave. He was interested in her...or something along those lines. He still had to work it out.

[Juneberry]

A laugh escaped her. "Oh hush, you think I'm one of those completely science based girls now? I'm a cook. I know when something's strange in food, and I've gotten used to stranger people coming up to me than a vampire, sir." A smile was on her face. "I've met various people who weren't, well, people since I was younger. To be honest, I only half believed them, but I've gotten pretty used to it."

She sighed, pulling up her sleeve to lift her wrist. "However, if you don't mind my wrist instead of my neck, I'd appreciate it. I get cut a lot on my wrists and arms, so can have an excuse if anyone notices the mark." Of course, most of the time those marks were her own- she'd had many depressive phases where self-harm had been her first thought of salvation. However, she was fine with his request. "I'm used to getting hurt a little bit. So don't worry so much about whether it'll hurt me. I'll admit it's a strange and sudden request since I don't know your name even- normally I assume you'd at least tell me your name first or just not ask in the first place. But... It's fine in general."

[Evil Tink]

He could not help but let out an irritated sigh, "Forgive me, but why do humans always insist that we only bite necks? Anywhere is fine really...depending on how well we know our..donor." Suddenly, he had a confused look. "Oh my, you're right." He bowed a bit, "Nicolai James Vindore, and it's a pleasure to meet you." He straighten, examining her wrist with a frown, "I would say that these do not look like bakery accidents."

He glanced up at her for a moment before holding her wrist up to his mouth, "Either way, it will not hurt at all. I can block the pain signals to your brain. Some say..it's quite a thrilling thing." He opened his mouth, allowing his fangs to show for a moment before he bit down on her wrist. The long sharp teeth neatly pierced the skin of her wrist allowing the blood to flow quickly down his throat.

He released her only a few seconds later. He did not like to take a massive amount once every few months, but rather, small 'snack sized' amounts every few days. It was much healthier for both him and the humans. He laid his fingers over the marks, using his telekinesis to send a message to her skin cells. The impulse them the repair sequence into overdrive and in a few seconds, there were no bite marks, or even a scab. Completely healed. "And you don't even have to worry about pretending it's a cut."

[Juneberry]

She stared at her wrist blankly when he'd finished his snack, surprised. "Strange. I always thought that you had a bite mark no matter who bit you. Shows how much I know..." She laughed a bit, adding, "Oh, I didn't think you can only bite the neck. But we're always told that's the most likely place. So I just had to mention the best course...Though if I'd known you could do that healing trick, I wouldn't have asked for anywhere in particular."

Shaking it off, she rubbed the area he'd bitten, barely figuring out where it was as she smiled and let her arms fly behind her back again. Her lips were still curled into a smile, and she had entirely ignored the man's comment about her scars. "And for politeness sake, my name is Chloe Kitski. While I do have a middle name, it's not much use so I don't see point in giving it out if it's quite alright. I must say though, you have quite a nice name. It flows in a way most don't. I've never heard one quite like it- and I hear a lot of names."

[Evil Tink]

He winked, "There's a lot about us that humans don't know...but the less they do the better. You can understand why." Nicolai was silent for a moment as she continued on about names. "Why thank you...although, yours has a nice ring as well. Chloe Kitski..alteration, very entertaining."

He pulled out his watch again, checking the time, it was just after 11, "Do you have class tomorrow? It's late and you'll need some sleep." While he was rather enjoying her company, he could not deprive her of much needed sleep. It was nice for him to be around someone that wasn't nervous. Most humans had a sort of..sixth sense and could tell something dangerous was nearby. If one was on edge, they all were, subconsciously. It was rather disheartening at times.

[Juneberry]

"Nope. Because the party is a late one they have school closed tomorrow for us. So I'm still in time. And I'm not very tired anyway." Smiling to him simply, she giggled and added a slight sarcastic remark in childish fun. "Are you tired of me already?"

She shook it off, taking a step towards the railing nearby and facing it, putting her hands on it to hoist herself up carefully, so that she was on her feet on top of it.

"I used to do this a lot when I was younger, and still use it as a balance exercise. Balance is important for running. And I get a better view from up here." She smiled, looking at him more at eye level. "Now I don't have to hurt my neck to see your face clearly."

[Evil Tink]

"Quite the contrary, I was hoping you'd say it was closed. It's rather nice to be able to be relaxed around a human." He shrugged as he watched her, "Or..." He casually helped himself up onto the railing, standing with his hands in his pockets. He had amazing balance, of course. "I could do this and we're back to square one."

He smiled a bit, leaning forward, bending at the hip so his back remained straight, "Maybe if you drank more milk when you were younger, you could've grown a few more inches." He chuckled, straightening back out and turning on his heel so his back was to her, "I know a place where you can get an amazing view of the city. It's fairly impressive during the day, but at night, it's like you're looking at a whole new town. Would you like to go?" He turned his head so he could see her, a curious look on his face.
