Mull puts on a clean pair of pants and his fingerless gloves, then puts the collar back around his neck. Fussing with his hair to get it to lay how he normally has it, he turns and heads back downstairs, tails swishing lazily behind him. Seeing Asher still standing where he'd left him, Mull tilts his head slightly to the right, the tips of his white ears barely visible above his hair. "So.... How've you been while you've been gone...?"

Asher could think of any number of other things one might do that had nothing to do with cleaning or physical violence. But he withheld comment, not because he was incapable of saying without a snide lilt to his voice, but because it would be best for Mull to decide what was best for himself in any case.
He nodded to the hybrid for his benefit then turned to lean against the wall, which was where Mull found him several moments later when he had fully dressed. The vampire noticed more of the same clothing; perhaps he had nothing else to wear, or at least nothing he preferred to wear. And perhaps that was an activity they could do together sometime, buy new clothes for Mull... Something that included a collar, he amended, caught with a sudden urge to run a finger along the one Mull now wore. He smiled faintly and inclined his head to Mull.
"Members of my household have certain... expectations. In turn, when I return I may expect some rigorous inquiry into the status of our current relationship." It was not a direct answer to Mull's question, but certainly the hybrid could guess how say, Shido, may have harassed the coon earlier (however good-naturedly). It was annoying yet amusing in certain respects. "Despite that, I was able to feed and relax for a while before returning here."

Mull found himself smiling slightly in response to Asher's smile, then raises a pale eyebrow at the vampire's words. "So, I'm assuming your friend Shido said some things to you? What exactly is he expecting to happen between us...?" Mull himself wasn't sure, either, and, even though he really did find Asher attractive, the other probably wouldn't hear any further on that unless he outright asked Mull how he felt.

"Correct." As for his expectations... "You may remember that my relationships in the past were, shall we say, fairly dramatic. Since that part of my life is now over, I have not been overly eager to pursue anything similar. Therefore, my interest in your situation seems to equate for Shido an opportunity to play matchmaker." He tapped lightly on his arm with his claws and sighed a little, his voice mixed with annoyance, weariness, and a hint of resignation.
"My reluctance for any sort of intimacy has colored my actions with you in the past, and in turn I have done you a disservice. I believe there is something between you and I that goes beyond obligation. If you are interested, I would like to see where it leads us. That is why I return."
(No that doesn't necessarily mean 'hey let's jump in the sack!" >>; )

Mull's eyebrows both raise up at that, staring at Asher for a moment before giving a small nod, tapping his chin. "So, you want to see whether this would work out or not, then?" His tails flick slightly, then he nods again. "So... Since I've obviously never been in anything that could even be considered close to a normal relationship... What do we do..?"

"It does not have to be that kind of relationship," he replied quietly. Then, what kind? He really could not be sure. He was not accustomed to friends. Most people he simply tolerated, or used, or took into what could loosely be described as family. The fact that he had no family in the literal sense had always floated around in the furthest reaches of his mind.
"I cannot say. I have observed others casually... they seem to have their own way of it. They usually start by finding something they have in common and build upon their relationship from there. A foundation, if you will." He studied Mull for a moment, as always keeping his gaze from locking with the hybrid's. Did they have anything in common, besides what was obvious?

Mull frowns slightly in thought, then shrugs slightly. "Well, we could always just start off as friends, and, if it goes further from there, so be it. I... wouldn't really count Zelgadis as a friend... More like an acquaintance, since we're both monsters, in a sense, I guess you could say." He shrugs again, running a hand through his hair in irritation at himself. "Okay... So, I'm one of those people that's socially retarded and does not know how to behave normally."

Asher listened quietly; all movement in fact ceased. Did appearances and abilities decide what made a monster and what did not? Some would argue that what mattered, even in this case, was what lay on the inside. A faint half-smile brushed briefly across his lips. "I believe the definition of friend depends heavily on the individual. If you say he is not your friend then perhaps he is not. What I have observed however is that you could count him as one. He cared for you when you were unable and no one else would." He shrugged. "Regardless, you and I may from this moment on consider one another as friends."

Mull chuckles slightly at the comment about Zelgadis, a small smile crossing his face for a moment. "Ever since he's been seperated from his group and his mate, he's regarded me more as an injured animal that needs to be pitied and taken care of. Not really as a friend." He shrugs, as if it didn't bother him to be pitied. "So, since we're going to be friends, I've got a question to ask. Well... More like a favor... If I start slipping back to my old habits or continue to be a social retard, just smack me or something to get me back on track?" And it was rare for Mull to ask for help, considering Asher had dealt with Mull when he was injured and had had a bit of a rough time getting the hybrid to communicate when he needed to even use the bathroom to him.

Ah. A wounded animal among monsters. He was not sure which was worse, to be a monster or the one pitied even by the monsters. He could relate and yet he did not have the answer. To Mull's request, Asher lifted a brow. "I will do what is in my power to do," he offered, though I doubt physical injury would help the situation. "We will get you where you need to be."
However tempting it would be to let the other side take control and speak with him, Asher would help this Mull maintain control of himself. It was obvious the other side could more than do the same. So if everything worked out with Shelby they could talk then. His curiosity could wait. Even an impatient vampire can wait.

Mull fidgets slightly, then sighs and shakes his head. "You have any questions in particular for me? I'll answer to the best of my ability, if so."

Asher withheld a sigh and remained leaning against the wall. I am not about to interrogate you, Mull. His gaze flicked out the window for a moment before he asked his question. "Have you thought about what you would like to do this evening? Preferably... something relaxing, as you worked so hard earlier cleaning up the room downstairs."

Mull blinks, thinking for a moment before shrugging slightly. "I honestly don't know of anything... relaxing to do. Remember, I'm used to hurting something to pass the time..."

"Something that is not relaxing, then? If you want to change that part about you that only finds pleasure in pain, then you may want to expand your range of hobbies." Unfortunately, since he knew little else about Mull, he could not give any better suggestion unless he wanted to take shots in the dark.

Mull found himself chuckling slightly. "You sure don't make this easy, but, at least it's making me think, rather than just blindly go along as I have been." He frowns, head tilted to the side again, arms crossing over his still naked chest. He looks over at Asher again, chewing on his lower lip for a moment before speaking again. "Well... We could always just talk, I suppose... Get to know eachother better?"
