If Aleister had even the faintest hint of psychic tendencies, It went right over her pretty little head. She was so preoccupied with attempting to filter out her own abilities that she rarely had time to take notice of any others unless theirs were so potent they leached into your very core. To Cosette, this man seemed a little bit boring. Not the cunning, sophisticated but deadly and most commonly insane sort that she associated herself with.
When Aleister prompted her with the latest of his questions, She visibly hesitated and appeared almost thoughtful for an instant. Well, Sure. At any given time a vampire might be thirsty. Even after a meal, Hungry still perhaps for nothing more than a thrilling hunt. But Cosette was much too particular with her killings. Untainted and wealthy blood was her preference, but sadly when the rich went missing it was very rarely an event that went unnoticed. Cosette might possess very little reserve when it came to running her mouth off and expressing her 'opinion', her ability to control her hunger ran very steady and iron smooth.
“Well, Yeah. Sure I am, but I don't feel like dealing with the hassle right now.” She said, entirely nonchalant with a slight shrug of her dainty shoulders. With her picky blood standards along came with her seemingly compulsive need to keep the entire event as clean and flawless as possible. She fancied the idea of waiting until the last possible moment, when the hunger clawed her her insides, when it would all be so much more satisfying in the end.
“Why, Puppy? Are you hungry?' She questioned while she began walking along the edge of the sidewalk, putting on a pretend show of her impeccable balance. “ I hear the druggies littering the streets here are good for that sort of thing. Though I would never set a finger on them. Really disgusting.” She grimaced and shivered at the very thought, causing her to stumble off her imaginary tightrope.
“Is that the sort of thing to your liking? Or do you just not care where it comes from as long as it's blood? You don't seem the sort to care about much of anything.”Just Naota Aleister felt Cosette's curiosity quite quickly, either through the clues in her features, or through the empathetic link he unknowingly created with everyone with his latent psychic powers. The Death Dealer couldn't be considered a vampire of the psychic variety, his mental powers only so faint that it could only be sensed by those potent. Cosette would feel the faint thrum but she was probably used to that by now; especially when the individual's power was no where near hers with no possibility of improvement. None of that was neither here nor there as Cosette interrupted him and asked a question of her own. He was right. She was curious. "I was born months before the death of King George IV." If Cosette had been taught any semblance of history during her days; she would know that he could have either been born on 1929 or in 1930 which was the year of the King's death. He didn't mention his later career in the Royal Navy, for obvious reasons from his past. As a deserter, Aleister wasn't allowed the luxury of boasting his credentials. Though, what was obvious to Cosette was simple, Aleister had lived through the Victorian Era. "Fun?" Aleister looked baffled by the question. His hobbies were rather short these days, if you can even call killing Lycans and Tainted hobbies. He remembered fond memories of sailing, playing chess, drinking in taverns and gambling. But the need to do any of those were long gone. The vampire looked around, slightly nervous, not entirely knowing what he should say. He took his seat again. "No and I guess I am like a Doberman.." He changed the subject, "Cosette? Are you thirsty?"

Desaecula "Padre nuestro... que estas en el cielo..." Armand began chanting, the 'our father' in his old tongue. He paused only as Jagger wet at him, spinning around and grasping for her hand to slam it into the ground by the wrist he aimed to grab. His eyes on nobody. Jagger glared at Armand as he dodged her attack. Seeing his arm about to grasp her wrist she thought, Hmmm..let's make this interesting...She allowed him to grab her yet as he did,her eyes widened then blinked harshly."What the...."she whispered with confusion. She looked behind her and was startled by the scene.She saw Ravi standing there,about to dodge Alexander's attack,and an angry Victor off to the side. She turned her gaze on Armand who seemed threatening as he gripped her wrist fiercly."Armand.."she rested her hand on his trying to understand what was going on.

"I was actually just offering," He said, staring coldly out into the night, hate of what overcrowded city welling up within. Aleister rarely became angry out of nowhere, but sometimes (sans catalyst) he's reminded of the city and his situation. He simply scowled to himself, only managing to seem a bit more chipper upon looking back at Cosette, not wanting to be rude. He poked the side of his neck with his index finger, over a spot all vampires committed to memory. The human jugular vain. The deathdealer was making sure that she knew what he meant.
"The only reason why I'm resting and enjoying the night sky is because I've already had my fill." He got comfortable, sitting himself in a dignified position before patting the seat next to him, gesturing the vampire to take a seat. Despite the courtesy, the scowl remained and his diction was dripping with venom. "The human is filth. Their blood is all the same."

Alexander jumped in front of Jagger's friend, holding his skruikien to his neck before bellowing at Jagger; "Jagger stop this fight now!!" He said as his voice seemed to carry for miles. He was not sure how long this fight would go on but he needed to do something to make it stop. He did not want to kill his friend but at this point he would do anything to stop this all. He stared at Jagger with anger in his eyes, as he held his skruikien close to the lovesick vampires neck, firmly resting it there.

"Santificado say a tu nombre." He continued, then chuckiled, staring at her. He grasped her up in an unthreatening embrace.
"God only knows." He said, twichign and staring at the battles all around them.
"It seems we have started something rather.... heated. Care to .. SNEAK AWAY." He whispered to her, puling out his revolver and pointing it at her pretty little head. "I have to make it at least LOOK like I'm a threat, dont i? hm hmm hmm.. Life is MUCH easier when the world thinks you are crazy.

She stumbled again. It was his fault this time, demanding her attention like that when he tapped his finger against that sweet spot on his throat. The offer had blown right over her head and would have been utterly ignored if he hadn't made that gesture, proving just how much attention she wasn't paying to him. You see, Now that was different. It wasn't something someone, such as weak, mentally damage Cosette could manage to easily obtain. Other vampires were smarter, older and much more well practiced. She might be able to charm and enchant, but spells were broken the same instant the flesh was. It wasn't a game she could easily play, but Aleister's offer was just a little but too appealing for her to let alone without having a little fun. There was a flicker of a smile touching her round face the very instant before she vanished.
Cosette moved at such speed that it took the breeze a moment to catch up with her small figure, but the delayed instant it did the night air brushed past them in a lovely tingle of warm air. She was leaning close before him, arms outstretched over his shoulders and braced against the back of the park bench. Cosette clearly had no sense of personal space as she pressed in close, her baby face already tucked in close at the hallow of his throat. She inhaled deep, taking in the scent of not only Aleister' but his recent kill. It was a lovely smell, something that tugged at the hunger inside her and tempted it to press forward.
“If human blood is so filthy, Why don't you just take it from others of your kind? ” She murmured, her words as light and smooth as the breeze like a lovely hum at his ear. “ Though rare, I've heard of cannibalistic vampires like that. It would certainly make you a little oddity if you could mange to hold you own against so many. Power even, if you choose the right ones.” She lifted a small white hand, fingers greeting and trailing down the opposite of his throat. It was something Cosette had considered, a possible way to obtain power; but it simply something she couldn't manage; But what if she could find someone else that could? Someone to take that power and then relinquish it back to her?

Jagger gasped quietly as she felt the cold steel against her head.Then,she shouted."Release Ravi..he has nothing to do with this..."then she looked down,her bangs falling into her eyes once more."I'm sorry Victor...It seems you were right about me...It seems I am nothing more than a blood sickened monster..."
Still looking down,she whispered for only Armand's ears to hear,"Drag me away from this place,please?"she asked,longing to get away from this tainted,meaningless battle.

"Ashes to ashes, and blood to blood, This party is boring, so venture we should." He smirked and announced loudly to the group, backing away quietly from the group, his other hand grasped her throat so nobody woudl try anything stupid... like interfering.
He whispered for only her again. "WIth pleasure...I may yet have some fun tonight."
Armand backed up rather fast, almost as if floating with Jagger in the way of any interferance.
"But by all means, please continue ripping eachother to pieces." He added with a chuckle
In seconds they where away from the battle, leaving Ravi, Victor and the 'traitor' to their own devices.
Armand only let go of her and pocketed his Revolver after they were on the opposite side of the park. They traveled down a pavement path for a ways, then Armand saw someone he thought he would never happen across again. there, talking and flirting in her usual manner with another hapless fool was Cosette. The French noblewoman Armand had spent months trying to forget about.
"Oh goody." He sighed, He and Jagger had JUST gotten away from some trouble... and now here was its poster-child from the Victorian era not 600 feet down the current path.

"Look down the way... the girl is an old friend of mine.... so to speak." He spat at the ground and adjusted his clothes.
"SO.. how are you feeling now that all.. THAT.. is over with." He said, twitching slightly.

Jagger looked down the path and saw two figures standing there in the midnight air.Averting her attention to other things she absent mindedly rudded the back of her neck,where she'd hit the tree.
"Much better."she said,cringing slightly as she remembered the loud thud it had made."You know...I thought you were actually going to kill me there for a little while."her voice sad and serious.She wouldn't look at Armand fear that he thought he was going to also.

Victor looked at Jagger as she walked away with Armand. He looked back at the person he was just fighting and snarled. "Little whelp..." Victor snarled at him He looked at him with a twisted smirk. "I'll let you live for now, vampire. But I will be back to feed on your lifeless carcass." Victor snarled at him. He ran off into the darkness.

As Armand dragged Jagger away,Ravi realize what she was doing.
When they were out of sight,Ravi rolled his eyes and shoved Alexander off him."This was meaning less."he muttered with boredom.He began walking away then paused with his back to Alexander.
"A word of advice..don't follow Jagger,she knows what she's doing..I taught her everything she knows...And.."he turned and glared at him."Don't go running if she calls for help..Jagger is mine,and I don't take kindly to other people running to her rescue."and with that he strided off into the darkness,not every caring about what Alexander had to say.
See you soon,love.he thought to Jagger.

Alexander let out a small laugh as the lovesick vampire walked away, trying to act serious. He quickly stored his skruikien back on to his back holster, as he began to walk out of the park. It was funny how he had said that he did not enjoy people coming to her rescue. If he was strong enough he would be able to protect her instead of coming in too late. Jagger was still his friend so he would help her if she asked for it but he was starting to become uneasy of what was going on. As he reached the end of the park, he looked at the cars passing by waiting for a semi to pass, as it slowly moved down the street, quickly dashing away as soon he was under cover of the truck.
