Dark Waltz

[Claude Faustus]

"I can take you back to the church you where staying at, or at a hotel....where ever you want Prayer." Misha said.
The other vampire's filed out, all but one. Lucien was giving the human a look of resentment. "We.....will run Misha. He's not our kind and he's too dangerous to be trusted." He said.  

[Yukina101]

Prayer shook his head with his negative reply. "No, I couldn't possibly impose back onto the church and I haven't the money for a hotel." he shrugged used to this type of predicament. He supposed it was back to the shelter for him...but not without sending an equal glare of mistrust towards Lucien, for a completely different reason than his own. "I realize that you won't believe me and that you will likely forget my words but I will say them anyway: dimittet peccata vestra praeterita, forgive your past. Not forget, forgive. Whatever or whomever hurt you no longer can. The longer you hold on to this rage the longer life you will have to live alone." he spoke quietly yet effectively.  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha frowned but he didn't say anything as he lead Prayer to his car.

Once they picked up the Priest's suitcase at the airport, The vampire stopped the car outside a homeless shelter, all this while he still barely spoke to prayer. "The entrance is on the side." He said.  

[Yukina101]

Prayer, after getting his luggage from the airport, fell asleep soon after getting into Misha's car and driving off the the shelter. When he felt the car stop he awoke and heard the vampire's softly spoken words. He turned towards the blonde with a soft smile and apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry I caused such trouble for you Misha, that was never my intention and I'm sorry I have to leave on this note. A-and I hope that if I come back that I'll be able to look you up?" he blushed as he asked before turning away inwardly cringing at how he sounded. Misha owed him nothing so he had no right to ask such a thing. Thinking that he got out the door and began to walk to the side of the shelter.  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha's hands tightened on the wheel. He knew that this really was all his fault, he should just let him walk away. He gave the priest a nod. but something in his gut told him to go out and stop him. Misha was a man who followed his impluses and this was no differnt.
THe vampire got out of the car. "Prayer wait...."  

[Yukina101]

Prayer stopped in his tracks as Misha called out for him as he got out his car. The priest turned towards him with a questioning look while his heart hammered inside his chest cavity. "Yes?" he asked quietly.  

[Claude Faustus]

For a moment Misha's mind went blank. he was suddenly aware of how his heart was racing and his legs felt weak. He cleared his throat quickly recovering. "I feel.....very responsible for what happened. And I want to make up for....how you where treated."  

[Yukina101]

Prayer sighed at Misha's words but gave him a soft sad smile. "You shouldn't, I understand why he was worried and it's not as if you told them which airport and what time I was leaving. You are under no obligation-" he was interrupted by a young nun coming from the back door and looking startled at seeing the two men. "Father! I-we-um..I wasn't expecting you back so soon! Are you in need of a room?" a blush came creeping up her cheeks at the sight of the handsome silver eyed priest.  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha froze as well. he saw how the young nun was looking at Prayer. an odd mix of Jealously, self loathing and sorrow somehow numbed his expression. He knew that he should just let him go now, 'He belongs with his own kind, I have no right to speak with him anymore. just go...just go, feet!'
"Uhm, uhh....very well Prayer. uhh.....Good luck to you." he said. With an extreme effort of will he forced his feet to move, getting back into the car and starting the engine. He couldn't do this again what that nun saw what he was, then he'd get Prayer in trouble with his superiors.  

[Yukina101]

Prayer was about to respond to the young nun when Misha gave a stuttered reply and left. For a second the priest stood there stunned at the fact that the vampire had stuttered and the fact that the nun was still looking at him expectantly. "Umm, no my dear. I think it's best I go with my friend there. I believe he's in need of wisdom and guidance only He can offer." The young woman nodded excitedly while a loving sigh escaped. "That's so...amazing of you Father, to give up your time and effort for a man who-" He heard the car's engine start and began to rush towards the car. "Thank you for your kind words and warm bed." he threw the words over his shoulder as he finally caught up to the car and threw himself inside of it huffing slightly. "I seem to remember you mentioning treating me to something?" Prayer gave a bright smile to his vampire friend.  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha felt his mouth drop open in complete shock. Starring at Prayer who had just gotten back in the car. After a moment Misha felt himself smiling happily, it reflected the joy he felt inside, however a naughty thought invaded his mind whispering 'you could take him back to your apartment' But he shook his head. no, he didn't want to mess this up this time.
The vampire grinned at him. "Yes, a nice hotel room...I know just the place." He said pulling away from the curb and driving down the street.  

[Yukina101]

Prayer found himself laughing at the shocked, yet excited, look on the vampire's face before choking slightly as he spoke about a hotel room. Horrid! Your mind went straight for the gutter! He could mean a nice place for you to sleep and rest before you left again...yes. he thought these words calming himself down from his overacting newly formed libido.  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha chuckled, Seeing Prayer's blush it was cute, and it made his heart hammer in his chest all the more.
By the time they got to the hotel, Misha was sure that he'd gotten his emotions back under control. Going inside the posh luxurious 5 star hotel, he went directly to the front desk and smiled at the clerk here. "Hello Frankie....penthouse if you please." The gray-haired clerk gave Misha a warm smile and handed him the set of keys from under the desk. When he saw Prayer, a his smile faded somewhat. a hint of jealousy replaced the warmth there "Are you staying the night Sir?"
"No, I'm not, just seeing to a guest of mine." The vampire said, "Prayer? Stop gawking, come on the elevator is this way." Misha had nearly forgotten what a delight Prayer was. the hotel was very high class with a lobby ceiling that went up at least 3 floors and a marvelous large crystal chandelier in the middle.  

[Yukina101]

Prayer didn't say anything the remainder of the trip content with watching the scenery go by as Misha drove him to the more... extravagant side of the city towards a large manor of a hotel. The priest was sure his mouth was hanging open the entire time he came out of the car and walked into the large lobby with high ceiling and crystalline chandelier...it was all too much! He was trying to form the words to tell him so when he was led over to the elevators after being lightly chastised for gawking. Blinking slowly and blushing for being caught the brunette followed still secretly looking around. "You certainly don't do anything by halves do you?"  

[Claude Faustus]

Misha stepped in the the penthouse private elevator and truned around, with his nice shoes and blazer, he looked like he belonged in such a hotel. The vampire grinned. "No, of course not. I look after my guests very well."

A keycard swipe later and they where walking in the double doors of the penthouse. The lower part was done up very much like Misha's mansion with stairs leading upwards to the bedrooms and bathroom.
The vampire lingered at the front doors. "Well here you go, make yourself at home. If I remember correctly the shelves and fridge should be stocked with fresh food. But if you want anything else, just call the front desk and they will help you.
Misha placed the keys on the table by the front doors he knew that he shouldn't stay for too long. He shifted from one foot to the next wondering what else he should say next. "Uhm....You can stay as long as it takes for you to get back on that plane....uhm uh....the hotel's limo is for you to call upon as well if your going to the air port or anywhere else you need to go."
He was aware that he was stalling.
