Ninja nodded with a more cheerful smile.
"Sure thing." As she got out a glass and began to pour in the water, she shook her head.
"I don't know; I haven't seen her lately.. Do you want ice or no?" She held up the full glass, the sides already sparkling from the coolness of the water inside.
"No ice." She responded. She frowned, then lifted her head as Astral entered the main area.
"Hey, Erebos~! I thought it got darker in here!" Astral piped cheerfully.
"Astral." 'Erebos' replied quietly.
Astral rushed her, wrapping her in a hug. "Whats up?"
"I have water."
"Hey, ninja. This is Erebos." Astral said, pointing to the dark, speech-disinclined woman.
Ninja's ears twitched at the sound of Astral's approach, and she turned her head just as the white haired woman arrived. She watched their encounter with quiet amusement and walked over to set the water on a table nearby.
"I figured." She grinned over at Astral before turning to Erebos who she'd just been introduced to.
"I'm Ninja." She said with a smile, offering her hand for a handshake.
Erebos frowned and stared at the hand with her shadowed eyes, uncomprehending.
"Uh, she's a little different." Astral said, rubbing the back of her head. "And socially disinclined. A bit of a shut-in, really. Sun hurts her skin like fire and lava would, thats why she's dressed liek this and her skin is so pale. I'm surprised she managed to get here, actually."
"Ah, I see. My bad." Ninja grinned and patted Erebos on the head/hood with her once outstretched hand.
"So, why were you lookin' for Astral, Erebos?" She asked, putting her hands into her pockets.
Upon closer inspection, Erebos looked like she was around Melodys age.
"I found something weird." Erebos murmerred. Her hands slid from the inside of her cloak, pulling it open to reveal a small child huddled there, looking confused.
"Wheres Otou?" she said, her voice ringing with fear and sadness.
Astral blinked, surprised. "Neriah?" she demanded. She knelt down, a frown on her face. "How come your not at home with..er..'Doggie'?" She asked. Kall, Neriahs late Mother, owned a huge mastiff, who had taken a liking to Neriah and was dedicated to protecting the vampire.
"Mommys gone, and now Daddys gone, too!" Neriah cried, her eyes tearing up. She clutched a heavy, too-big golden locket around her neck, which had Kalls scent on it. "They both left. Daddy promised he wouldn't leave me all alone again!"
"Oh.." A look of regret crossed Astrals face. She drew the child into her arms, standing. "Sweety, Gaven isn't gone. He just went away for a while." She assured the shivering child, soothing her. The real truth would take too long to explain in voice, and was too mature for the child.
Gavens coven had taken the liberty of feeding in an area, and killing the victims in the process. That on its own wasn't the biggest problem, but they were very..messy with their kills.
Erebos contenued explaining, to Ninja now. "She wandered into my home and hid in a corner." she said softly, tilting her head to the side. "The child wishes for her Father."
