Icarus ordered some noodles from the kitchen and sat down next to Jethrow. "Hungry, I see." she said lazily, yawning a little. Her neck hurt a little, but it wasn't too much she couldn't deal with.
Sophia was sitting in the gardens, relaxing in the nice breeze. She smiled and smelled the rose Banjamin had given her. It smelled so sweet. She smiled more and tucked it back into her hair before leaning back on the bench she was sitting on.

Jethrow shrugged and went back to eating his food. "Usually am. How's the wound?" he asked, referring to the bite marks in her neck.
Finally, Benjamin found himself too cooped up, so he wandered through the castle. It was eerily quiet, since most everyone had holed up in their rooms to avoid talking about the incident in the dining hall. Finally, he came out in the gardens and froze, spotting Sophia lit up only by the moon.

Icarus shrugged a little as a bowl of noodles was served to her. She began to eat and swallowed her food. "It hurts a little. So how often will you have to do this biting thing?" she asked, digging into her food more.
Sophia sighed contently in the moonlight before standing. She then got up and pulled out a stereo from her back pack and placed it on the bench. She then hit play and waited. Soon a beautiful waltz began to play, Sophia beginning to dance to it.

Jethrow finished what he was chewing and thought for a moment. "Well, I have to feed at least once a week. But if you start bursting from blood, come find me by all means."
Benjamin watched Sophia dance with a smile on his face. As she came close to where he was standing he stepped out and caught her, easily slipping into the waltz.

Icarus nodded some and resumed eating. After finishing she got up and headed back to the garage. The girl sat in her sidecar and sighed, thinking as she pulled a blanket over herself.
Sophia was surprised when she slipped right into Benjamin's grasp, their waltz continuing. She blushed some, but continued to dance, smiling up at the Spaniard.

Jethrow watched Icarus as she left. She sure was different. He wanted to know why the people had wanted to kill her, specifically, though. Was there something going on?
Benjamin smiled back at Sophia, twirling her for a moment. "Learn young?" he asked, trying to learn more about her.

Sophia smiled softly and nodded a little, blushing more. "Yes. When I was just a little girl. My father taught me." she said, continuing to dance their romantic waltz.
Icarus sat there for a while before grabbing the raven pendant from its hiding spot. She looked at it before sighing. "What the hell do you mean...."

Benjamin smiled a little. "That's sweet. And you dance divinely. I learned in a little group of awkward twelve year olds. I'm not sure my foot had healed yet."
The nursing student appeared all of a sudden, leaning against the car across from Icarus' Vespa. "So. You gonna let Vampy keep on with his thing? And what are you talking to?"

Sophia giggled and smiled back, nestling close to the Spaniard. "I hope it does. You're a wonderful dancer."
Icarus jumped a little and tucked the pendant away, looking to the nurse. "I might as well. And nothing."

Benjamin smiled and stopped for a moment, staring down at Sophia. "You're an interesting girl, you know that?" He laughed lightly.
The nurse tilted her head. "I might know what it is and what it's about."

Sophia smiled and relaxed against Benjamin and sighed. "And you're an interesting man, Benjamin." she said, looking up at him.
Icarus sighed and pulled out the pendant. "This stupid thing."

Benjamin smiled some more and glanced at the flower that he'd given Sophia, still tucked behind her ear. "I told you, didn't I?" he said teasingly, twirling her one last time and holding her close as the music ended.
The nurse crouched down and eyed the pendent. "I know what that is. The god, Shiro, would have given that to his wife, Maria. She died in the massacre here, but he didn't. That's probably why it was here."

Sophia smiled and took his hand, leading him over to the bench and sat down with him. She sighed contently and leaned against Benjamin, relaxin in the moonlight.
Icarus looked to the pendant and sighed some. "So why then when I wear it and go to sleep, I have these horrible nightmares?"

Benjamin smiled, a little surprised but perfectly content to go on with whatever Sophia preferred. He put his arm around her shoulders, keeping her warm in the breezy night.
The nurse laughed a little. "Probably because it belonged to an ex soul stealer married to a death god? I have a feeling it picked up on all the bad things that happened during that massacre. Meaning the death."

Icarus huffed a little and nodded some, tucking the pendant away. "Alright... Well that might explain some things." she muttered before getting up and heading outside for a walk.
Sophia smiled and soon got up, wanting to go it. It was getting a bit too cold for the French maiden.
