Welcome to Gaia! ::

Al thought for a long moment before deciding to except his generous offer. She stepped forward and leaned her head in to take the veal in her teeth, she chewed slowly and enjoyed the tastes and textures of the almost raw meat on her tongue. She swallowed and stepped back. "Thank you." She said quietly and smirked. She put a hand to her mouth and made sure there was nothing on her lips. She normally tried to stay away from the meats because they were for the guests, but she hated it when ever she would break down and drink blood.

I watched as Mallory and the man who's name I had not known ate their breakfast. "Excuse me." I rose from the seat, feeling as though my being there was pointless. I ascended up the stairs and into the bathroom for a refreshing shower. Afterwards, I slipped into a pair of fishnets with a dark denim skirt, along with a plain black shirt. I walked back down the stairs, quietly opened and closed the front door, taking a seat on the steps that led into the house.

The sun was barely visible through the forest of buildings, no wonder it always seemed so dark. A few clouds were scattered about the sky; the storm that had been there had dissipated already.

Alphonse considered Alexia for a moment, a smile gracing his lips. Finally he nods and takes her hand to lightly brush his lips over her knuckles. "Only because you wish it, ma belle." It was too bad; he thought a little embarrassment did wonders for a woman's beauty. Especially one who was already beautiful, such as Alexia.

Mallory was so accustomed to his father's flirtatious words, that he paid them no mind. In fact, he pointedly ignored them, still irrationally angry that his father was pursuing Alexia. Instead, Mallory cast his eyes to the door that Dusk had just exited. Had they run her off? She surely had not come in just to return his coat.

"Why do you not follow her if you are so interested in her doings?" Alphonse asked of his son with deceptive mildness.

Mallory did not rise to the bait. "My interest is only a polite one, father. It is hardly my habit to frighten off young women before they can acquire what they came for."

Now that I think about it, it was rather useless to return the jacket if in the end i was only going to return outside. Then again, at the time i didn't know what exactly I was going to do. My thoughts continued to ramble on of nothing but utter nonsense

My thoughts were soon interupted by Mallory who now sat beside me, with his jacket once more over my shoulders. "Thank you." I held the coat close, thinking that I should have dressed for the weather. I smiled. "I didn't know I would go back outside at the time." I glanced over at him noticing my outfit, "It's my sister's, I left my bag at the other house."

Al glanced over at him and shrugged. "I guess I do." She laughed and took his hand in her own. She squeezed his palm. "'is there anything more you desire?" she asked kindly. She was glad that Mallory had listened to her. He was a very kind and very polite boy. She just hoped that he would use the favor she had given him. “Anything I can get?” she leaned closer to him and looked up into his eyes. They looked like he was thinking very hard about something. “Anything you wish to tell me?” she added.

Alphonse chuckles, his grin growing wide. "Oh, I could think of several things I might tell you. But I do believe you have just instructed me not to, mademoiselle. Sit with me, s'il vous plait. It would give me great joy to have your company; you need do nothing else."

Mallory smiles a little sheepishly. "Your first guess has the right of it; I am no great conversationalist. My father's oft gilded tongue is not an inherited talent. But do not think this to mean that your company discomforts me; I assure you that is not the case. I hardly know you at all. Just what do you imagine would make me uncomfortable?" He turns to her again with an amused little smile.
