((I know that, 'silly'. She was putting her shades on because she saw that Krii'Ouse was wearing his indoors. xd : ))
A sharp chagrin wrought its way through Liora's heart at the question. For a moment, she remained silent. Her face was completely emotionless from what could be seen of it; if there was an expression on her face, it was hidden beneath the dark shades of her sunglasses. It was difficult for her to conjure an answer, but Liora swiftly arrived at an honest and plausible response.
"A lycan killed him." she spoke. Her body remained stiff and motionless. This was not something that she wished to be talking about. "The damned beast killed him in his sleep, and it didn't even kill him like an animal. It put a knife through his back- perhaps a fouler way to die than by the jaws of a beast."
Liora's hand shifted, showing the first sign of movement since she was asked the question. Positioning her cigarette over the ashtray at the table, she lightly tapped off the ashy tip with a ruby nail. Then, the cig returned to her lips. She inhaled deeply through the filter and exhaled through her nose, but she found no comfort in the action.
"It's not...it's not something I care to talk about often."
The question had an abrupt, sharp aspect about it that stood out in Liora's mind. He must have spied the golden engagement ring she still bore around her neck alongside her cross. Both were elements of nostalgia. The cross she wore to remind her of her struggle to return to faith, and her ring was to remind her of her own cross that she must bear for what appeared to be eternity, now.

((I guess I didn't read it right the first time.))
'I'm... I'm so sorry.' he said, putting a hand on hers, to comfort her platonically. 'I didn't mean to bring up such memories. I'm sorry...' he said again, dragging on his cig, and replacing his hand to the ashtray.
Sandy returned with the cheesefries. Krii'Ouse removed his hand quickly, and Sandy put their drinks on the table. 'The fries will be ready soon.' she informed, flipping her dark hair as she spun around, and moved back to the kitchen area.
'Any clue who this lycan was? Have you tried hunting him down, or is that what you've been doing?' he asked, figuring she wanted revenge.

*After a while Dusk realised what he was doing and diverted his eyes quickly, cringing and the filthy looks the public were giving him. He walked on a little, thinking to himself and watching the crowd busy themselves with other matters, blissfully unaware of the world beneath them. He was once one of them. And now he knew. He scowled, sat down and pulled a cigerette out of his pocket, sparking up and taking a long drag out of it, and blew a perfect smoke ring out *
Alpha Male... me...

(( whee )) "You had no idea. No need to apologize." she murmured. Her voice had all the tenseness of a rubber-band stretched too far.
Liora stared emotionlessly at his hand, exhaling only after he had removed it. She didn't wish to be cold; such a task was a daunting one, for a deep chill had seized her heart from the moment her past was brought up. And yet, despite this chill, her movie-star grin returned to her lips when Sandy brought their drinks to the table. There was a subtle plastic appearance to this smile, but anyone who did not know Liora well would be completely fooled by its glamour. Then, the waitress retreated and Liora's pensive gloom returned.
"There's no need to slay that Lycan. The misery it's caused itself is punishment enough," replied Liora cryptically. She paused only long enough to take a sip of Dr.Pepper with her free hand; her body language suggested that she was done discussing that topic for today. "So, tell me about yourself. Surely you have something more up-beat to discuss."

Krii'Ouse thought for a moment, trying to come with something as he sucked on his cigarette a few times, reaching halfway on the long nicotine stick. 'Well...' he started. 'I don't know... I wish Will would come back, and that stupid Tick would come find me already.' he said. 'I dunno.' he said, feeling lost for a moment. His depression began to return. 'I... I just need someone...' he said. 'As Freddy Mercury said, 'Can anybody find me somebody to love,' y'know.'
He sat there silently for a while, and Sandy brought out the food. 'Thanks.' was the only thing he said before taking three cheese coated fries and stuffed them in quickly.

*Sighing, Dusk took another pull on his cigerette and examined it as he blew out another ring. Something had happened to him since the turning. He'd become restless, dull, bored. For once life had gone quiet, and he hated it. He was actually hoping for a transformation, or for the army to find him, or something, anything. He let out a low growl and sucked his cig a last time, flicking it with perfect aiming into the bin, before stalking on into the crowds again*

Willow Eve BlackAngelOfDeath6 Willow Eve "You're pure evil aren't you?" She said in a joking manor, pulling her legs up to herself so that she can rest her head on her knees. "Well, I barely worked. I'm lazy, I bummed around the house. But what I DID do was perform...a lot. Musicals, theatre, competitions, concerts, birthdays, weddings once and a while. Thats where all my time went to aside from school."
::Koriko is quite impressed::
"You know out of ALL the musicians i have met and talked to in my life, you are the only one i know who has not worked at a tipical job while doing music. They've never just done music for thier whole working career."
::He smiles happily::
"But i'm glad you didn't get stuck in a rut. Your doing what you love, and thats the best part"
She smiles a bit and leans back against him, nodding. "Yeah. You know, do you go anywhere to have fun? Like...just to hang out?" She asked, interested in being in a different place than ontop a roof of some random building. Though his was such a nice spot, she hates being in one place for a long period of time.
::Koriko thinks for a min.::
"Hmmm, Ah yes, I have a little pizza shop on the corner of 4tha dn 5th street that i visit often. Or I go out towards the docs or outer reaches of the city. Or I go to the airport, I usually go there to hang out cause trouble and find some easy food. But other than the roof tops, the coven appartment, or those 3 places, I don't really go anywhere else."

Liora smiled again at Sandy, but this time the grin was completely half-hearted. Despite her attempts to lighten the mood from earlier, her and Krii'Ouse's mood had just plunged to rock-bottom again. Negative ten points for the hollywood Lycan. Liora carefully selected a french fry and snagged it inbetween her crimson nails. As she popped it into her mouth, she contemplated over things to say. Unfortunately, nothing came to mind.
"Well, s**t. You were starting to get in a good mood, but now both of us have gone sour." she said. Like a stubborn ember breathing off its last wisps of smoke, Liora's jovial mood was slowly returning bit by bit. "Wanna tell Auntie Liora what's eating you?"

Krii'Ouse shook his head slowly. 'My girlfriend left me... She saw me kissing Kerri back in the apartments... I've fallen for Kerri... but i don't think she likes me... And... that's just relly hard for me, y'know...' He hit his cig, and realised it was now done. He put the stick out in the tray, and sipped his coke, followed by a fry.
'I really hope I can woo Kerri... I really want to be with her...'

Liora shook her head, a wry smile crossing her lips. She seized a clump french fries with her fingers and chomped happily on them before taking another pull from her cig.
"Damn. I'd be in a bad mood too." she joked. "Listen: from what I met of Kerri, I think you've got your work cut out for you. You'll have to put on your best charms in order to win her over."
Liora fished the maraschino cherry out from her Dr.Pepper in popped it in her mouth.
"Don't pressure her; let her come to you. I think you'll be able to 'woo' her."

'I know... Problem is, she's with that Tick.' he insulted. 'I can't woo her with him around... Or without her around!' he said, laughing slightly. 'I just hope she'll feel the same for me in time...' he said, sipping his Coke again.
'I don't like being alone... not after my first relationship. I'm afraid of the dark, as it were...'

Nodding, Liora continued to eat her cheese fries in silence. Here was something she could not comment on; after the disposal of her intended, Liora had just the opposite problem. Now, Liora was fearful of getting close to anyone. Her life consisted of hunting alone, and the thrill she got from being in such close proximity of death was the only sustenance that life had to offer.
"I think we all have our own sort of darkness to fear..." she spoke with a shrug. She doused her cigarette at last in the ash tray. She'd drawn the thing out as long as possible, for Liora knew it would be her last cigarette for a while.

Krii'Ouse pulled out another Marlboro, fitting it between his lips, and lighting it up. 'Yeah... I suppose you're right.' he said, dragging on the 'square.' 'Loneliness being mine. I can't stand this right now... I need someone... I want Kerri... so badly... I just can't take this...' he said, sipping his Coke, and snacking on the fries some more as his cig rested above the ashtray.

*A young vampire was flying above the city, rather fast, he enjoyed the rush of air, flapping through his wings. He landed ontop of a large spire, sitting down watchingthe motion of people down on the sidewalk. He was too easily board these days...*
