Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dev shrugged one shoulder as he moved back to reclining in the grass, "Her name is Snow. She may seem as cold as her name, but it's what she's used to showing," he couldn't help the grin that followed, "I started out pissing her off by touching her every time I saw her. Confused the hell out of her since she was just starting to get used to feelings and emotions, but it was fun when she used that nifty silver whip of hers on me," he said in a pleased growl.

Dev usually took a bit of getting used to. He was very fond of pissing people off just to see what their reactions would be. But he did have some sense of self-preservation, so he refrained with Gallen for now.

He turned to give him a good look over and could easily guess the rest of the damage to him, "I take it the Church tried to 'save' your soul? Happened to one of my cousins. He got out with scars not quite as bad as yours, but bad enough. Still has trouble shifting sometimes. There's a dragon healer that might be stopping by later who could probably help you out a bit. Sasha wouldn't be able to heal you fully, but could at least make you more comfortable in your skin," he said, giving the suggestion of Sasha's healing with another shrug of one shoulder.

He really wasn't trying to be offensive, just honest.

Dev shivered at the implied danger of upsetting this vampire. He really couldn't help himself sometimes.

"She was shy because of a bad Sire then an even worse 'master' that ruled her life for a long time. She's only just been able to be herself again because Kula was killed. That... witch," he used that word in favor of the other one because he didn't want to piss off any shifter females nearby, "went down hard and Snow was delivered her head as a souvenir. She drop-kicked it out into the swamp. It was impressive..." he explained as best as he could.

After all, the rest of the details were Snow's to give, not his.

Dev shook his head then laid the rest of the way back with his hands behind his head, "Not right now. I've had my hands full getting her to open up with me and show her emotions with me. I'd suggest Cain, our resident librarian and one of the vampires here, but he's got about as much patience as a two year old high on sugar. Sebastet might be a good one, but she's got her hands full running the castle and island. She's only just gotten a secretary this week, for crying out loud.

"I know Snow needs a mentor, but finding someone who can handle her cold emotionless exterior without taking it seriously just isn't that easy..." he explained, knowing there was only so much he could do for her.

After all, he wasn't a vampire. He may be long-lived, and have fangs of his own, but he was only a shifter and ate alot of meat.

"If you're considering offering, I'd say go with it. Especially since I won't be very useful over the next three days. Full moon thing..." he added as he decided to take the initiative for his lovely Snow.

Nodding slightly, Gallen glanced over his shouder at Snow. It would not be easy to get the young Vampire to trust and listen to him, but he had some experience training others in battle. He would be learning as he taught, should Snow accept him as a mentor.

"I will try to help her, Dev. I believe that she is close to the same I was when I was much, much younger. That and I have learned patience over the centuries, she could not force me to lose my temper or take insults personally." Gallen's raspy voice seemed to hold a tone of wisdom and experience. He turned back to Dev and thought for a moment before continuing.

"As you know her better than I, I would be thankful to you if you introduce me to her. Approaching her alone would not foster trust and a known face would help in the introductions." Gallen's orange eyes held Dev's as he asked this favor.

Snow gave a light glow that would send most people running when she heard the males voice. She was happy that Dev showed up and get him away from her. She would have turned around and went to punch him. Right now she was taking how she felt on something that would not get to hurt. She did not want more people hating her. She was going to punch the stump of the tree till she could get control of how she felt. It was not easy for she was fulled with hatred at the one who killed zac, but she was all so pissed that Zac did not call for help. Sad that she lost another person she cared for and was lost and upset at her self for not being there to protect them. She was feeling to much and it was hurting her head. Hands numb from pain and punching them down to the bone she got up, she sat there licking at them.

Snow was still out of it but she heard Dev and would take his words to mind and heart. She would talk to the male and see what he had to say and offer but right now she just wanted to be held by Dev and to feed. Dev knew how to handle her like this and she gave him a weak smile before she licked and kissed his neck before she bite down hard on it. Her fangs sank in deep as she began to feed and she pressed around him and wrapped her arms around him. She dug her nails in to his back as she rubbed against him a bit as she feed. IF she had a choice she would have him stripped and feed from her the fun way but they had people around and she did not want them to see them playing. After she finished feeding she licked the bite marks closed before she kissed him. "thank you" she said licking her lips clean before she looked at Gallen.

"Sir" Snow said nodding a hello to Gallen," I see the Church still dose much to make people hate them." Her voice was ice cold and her face showed nothing as she ran her long sharp nails through Dev's hair. She was happy her tiger was there but her feelings where still pained over her friends death but she would do like Dev said. If this male could help her out by understanding her Sire blood in her and what powers she had.
