Benjamin flipped first to the pages where Icarus had left her strings, glancing over the pages before heading back to the front of the book. He was a bit taken aback by the time that he'd read the first page. He'd expected a blood bath immediately, but no. This was rather boring. But he hunkered down to read it anyways. Maybe he'd come to understand Icarus better.... One could only hope.

Icarus soon quietly woke, glancing around a little. She found Benjamin's jacket over her and she spotted him reading her book, hunkered against a wall. She smiled a little and nestled down more into the car. "Ya know... If want to get to know me better through my books, I'd suggest Moby d**k over Dracula." she said, glancing over to him.

Benjamin wrinkled his nose as Icarus woke up, both because she'd figured out his not so brilliant scheme and also because of the suggestion. "But that one's about a fish. I'd much rather read about a vampire than a fish." He stuck his thumb on the page he was on, before closing the book and looking up at his friend--ally. "That cannot be comfortable."

Icarus smiled some and sighed. "You'd be surprised after years and a few cushion replacements what good sleep a Vespa sidecar will net you." she said, sitting up a little.
[OOC:] I just had an extremely stupid idea.

[OOC:] I'm sure it's not stupid, so you should definitely tell me. Benjamin shrugged and put the book down on the ground. "I'll take a proper bed over a sidecar for the rest of my life, I can assure you," he said, stifling the yawn he'd been fighting while reading. He smiled a little, though, at the adapting Icarus had done while living on the streets. He could only imagine how horrible he'd be trying to do that. He'd probably die in the first week. If he even lasted the first day.

Icarus leaned over the edge and smiled down at the Spaniard. "You'd do well in town. Not on the streets like me. You'd be bait." she said, relaxing.
[OOC:] Well.... When he picked up the Dracula book, I suddenly got this idea to pair Icarus with a vampire punk. Like she gets poisoned or cursed and her body produces a lot of excess blood. And it feeds the vampire.

Benjamin frowned and crossed his arms, though mostly playfully. "Bait? What do you mean bait, and who, or what, would I be bait for?" He was appallingly curious to know what Icarus was thinking and meaning by bait. But at the same time, he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know. But he waited for an answer anyways. [OOC:] That would be kind of cool. Do you wanna do it?

[OOC:] I'd like it, but I won't force you to do so.
Icarus shuddered a little. "You don't want to know." she said, looking back at Benjamin and smiled a little. She liked hanging out with the Spaniard. Besides, nothing could go wrong right now.

[OOC:] Would you be willing to come up with another character for Benjamin? Benjamin sighed and shook his head. Whatever it was about Icarus that made her a mystery, he was sure he would never crack it. He wondered if they'd be friends for the rest of the time they were at the castle, or if something would finally push them apart. After all, if she was as violent as she'd been when she'd punched him, and he was as easily upset... Well, he was pretty sure they could at least manage to stay allies.

[OOC:] Sure. Maybe a french girl?
Icarus soon got up from her sidecar and put her books back inside, under the seat. She then offered her hand to the Spaniard. "Want to go get some food?" she asked, smiling down at him.

Benjamin shrugged and took Icarus' hand as his stomach silently complained that it was hungry. He mostly stood himself, barely relying on Icarus. He stretched a little once he was standing, feeling cramped. "What do you think is for dinner? Because all of a sudden I'm starving," he said with a small smile. [OOC:] Sure, that's fun. French and Spanish have a bit of a rivalry, haha.

Icarus shrugged a little and led the boy to the cafeteria. Where they were serving steak. Icarus smiled and sat down at a table, ordering one medium well and some water. She smiled as it was cooked with care and served to her in almost a flash. She took one bite and almost melted.

When they were seated, Benjamin cut into his own rare steak and eyed Icarus'. "How can you eat your steak like that? God, if mine isn't still mooing I can barely eat it!" he said, only slightly exaggerating the mooing bit. [OOC:] You made me hungry... I'll be back

Icarus looked to Benjamin before laughing. "If you wanted it deader, you should have ordered medium well. A little pink inside and not as much blood." she said, taking another bite.

Benjamin grimaced and was about to argue when another kid plopped down at their table, grimacing as well. "Not as much blood? That's the best part!" he exclaimed, shaking his head. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, leather jacket, and black jeans with what appeared to be Doc Martens on his feet. His thick black hair fell in his eyes, and he smirked a little, his own steak rare. [OOC:] Like him?
