Veroen couldn't help but laugh whenever he heard her last statement. It was actually quite ironic.
"Actually...I helped him too, shortly before I took my prolonged nap. I almost killed him, actually. But i decided to not deprive your child of a father, and instead helped him escape from a bunch of humans." He said, remembering the moment he had Ceon in the center of the crosshairs of his .50 Calibur long range sniper rifle scope. He wondered what the best course of action would have been at the time...

Though Ceon had gone and said that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with Meredith or even his own child simply because she associated with Veroen and had dared to follow her heart and fall in love with him, Eden couldn't help but smile at Veroen's story. While she probably would have been fine with him killing Ceon now she was glad that he hadn't at the same time. She was amazed that Veroen had held back for the sake of her child and it just somehow managed to make someone that was already perfect to her even more perfect. It was almost unfathomable that he would go out of his way for her like that and it was solely for her sake, she knew this because he'd been trained as an assassin, to kill at will and without remorse or hesitation so he actually had to put some thought into that.
"And for that," she said with a smile as both of her hands came to rest on both of his cheeks as she brought her face steadily closer toward his, "you deserve a kiss, not that you didn't already."
Her hazel eyes closed and she tenderly brought her lips to his. It didn't matter to her that he was a vampire, that he had killed many people in his life, that he required humans for sustenance, he was hers and she would kill to keep him. It was amazing how precious he'd become to her in such a short period of time but she truly would do anything if everything within her ability to assure that he was loved greatly and that he was appreciated for simply being him. There was not a single thing she would change about her vampire, not one.

Veroen had not expected her to react in that way. Nevertheless, he enjoyed it. He lost himself in her kiss, very slightly and gently pulling her close to him. He would be happy with her, and love her with everything that he was. Then he began to think about something else....
Would she die from giving birth to this Lycan's child?
He was immortal, and she was human, so she would die eventually, and he would live on...without her....
He did not like either of these thoughts that came to him. He pulled away after a few minutes of running these thoughts through his head, and looked down at the ground, his hands still on her waist. He didn't quite know how to bring up those thoughts, but wanted to discuss it badly...

Meredith would have been lying to herself and anyone else she told if she at all denied that she was scared out of her mind at the thought of having this child and something somehow going wrong. Abortion was an option but one that she would never be able to live with so that left either dying and giving birth or becoming a lycan herself in order to give birth to her child and live. Of course, she was avoiding such a topic since it was a good eight months away and she didn't really want to dwell on it at the moment since she knew when the months boiled down she was actually going to have to confront this issue and make a decision.
As though it was natural and she knew him from the inside out, Eden sensed and observed that something seemed off about Veroen after she began kissing him and he ended up pulling away only to look towards the ground. She wasn't certain what was wrong, if it'd been something she'd said or done but she was intent to try to the best of her abilities to fix it and figure out what was troubling him or why he was suddenly seeming so vacant as he stared mindlessly.
"What's wrong, hun?"
It was clear that there was genuine concern for him as her hazel eyes reflected it and her protective hand soon ventured to his shoulder while the other went to grasp one of his hands. Meanwhile her hazel gaze began to search desperately for the crimson one she'd been peering into mere moments before, starting to worry just a little but it was not horrifically noticeable. She was trying to remember to just remain clam but it seemed so much harder nowadays to do that and for her to just keep her cool. She managed momentarily for now, though, reminding herself to breath.

Veroen slowly looked up with his only eye and met hers. he sighed and thought for a quick second. He decided to talk to her about it, but not here, in the busy city. He didn't exactly have a home to go to, and they couldn't exactly go somewhere private together, so he decided Central Park would make a good discussion place.
He closed his eye for a moment, then opened it, and straightened his posture, and looked down at her with a calm expression.
"I don't want to talk about it here, can we go somewhere a little more...secluded? Like Central Park?" he asked her, in a smooth voice, trying to reassure her that everything was ok, and that it was just something he wanted to speak to her about.

"I'm game as long as you tell me what's up once we get there because I hate secrets and you just suddenly seemed ... down."
She gently smiled to him though it had an edge of miniscule hesitation to it though the smile was clearly in the hopes that he would perk up and not be bothered by his thoughts though something clearly was bothering him. Eden was fully prepared to speak to him about it right there and discuss it in full with him but if he felt more comfortable telling her elsewhere then she was perfectly at harmony with his decision. So she smiled a smile of encouragement to him and took his hand in hers and began walking with him toward Central Park.
(( Exit to: Central Park ))

He was glad she was fine with going somewhere else to speak of what was on his mind. He laced his fingers with hers, and walked with her towards Central Park with a slight grin.

eternally.condemned
"This city," Sibyl declared with a soft smile that was by no means encroaching or suggestive but simply innocent and genuine, "is practically the size of a country so though I've been here for a year I have no idea where anything is, really. I just follow my nose if I'm hungry and if I'm looking for a certain person then I follow their scent. I've been trained to lock onto smells, it's why I'm an expert tracker. I can block out all other smells but one or dull them to the point that a specific scent becomes focal and I can follow it for miles. It's why I'm excellent at killing vampires."
The way she said that she was excellent at killing vampires was not mentioned to impress, she stated it as a fact and casually at the same time. It was the truth and it happened to be relevant to the topic she'd began blubbering about and thus her reason for saying so. She was not fishing for compliments, not seeking praise, not waiting to be acknowledged for her accomplishments, she'd simply raised it off-handedly and was more than prepared to move onto other things.
"Can you find us something to eat then?" Aiden asked softly. He could have found something by himself, but it would have taken him longer than it would probably take Sibyl.

Lumbering around the corner clutching a bottle of vodka in one hand Jaden sniffed the air, following the scent from his dwelling even through the stench of the alcohol. Truely to the world he looked like a drunk affiliated with street fighting judging by his scars, though to look into his eyes one would notice that he was dead sober. "Sibyl what are you doing?" he asked pointedly, his tail swishing within his long black coat.

Duke trodded behind Jaden painfully aware that Razu had done the same when he was here. Shaking his head Duke decided that he was not going to follow Jaden like Razu had. He was only here to look after poor Sibyl who seemed so frightened of males when she came to Jaden's apartment. Or so he rationalized it but in truth he was simply bidding his time till he could rescue Steffon from the humans and unfortunately he would actually need Jaden's help to do so. Though another reason did seem to bind Duke to Jaden for a reason that Jaden probably didn't remember. So instead Duke watched silently as Jaden confronted Sibyl.

"I am unadvisably walking around while I'm in heat searching for something to eat at the moment because Aiden doesn't know where any places to eat in this city are and neither do I."
She seemed a little more relaxed and less skiddish now that she was outside but it was horrifically obvious with her tense movements and cautious steps that she was prepared to bound away at any moment. Her instinct was on high alert but unfortunately it was, in part, trying to betray her so while she was attempting to use it for purposes such as having her heightened senses it was also urging her to mate. After all, the point of instinct was to help one survive and surviving also meant reproducing, something that Sibyl had no intention of doing.
"Now what are you doing?"

"Drinking" Jaden held up the bottle of Vodka as evidence. "And following your skittish little self from my dwelling. It's worrisome that you are this tightly wound but insisted on leaving us."
Jaden downed the rest of the bottle and set it gently on the curb in an almost respectful manner before pulling out another one of them from a jacket pocket and opening it.
"I'd really rather not worry right now. It's horrible enough as it is without thinking about how much your sister already hates me and what she would think if I let you get mounted by some common male on the streets of the city."

Aiden quickly noticed the powerful presence that appeared behind him. It reminded him of his superior from his army days. His superior was an ancient lycanthrope that had a very powerful bloodline and whose lifetime extended ten times that of a regular lycanthrope. So the assassin quickly turned on his heels and saw the heavily scared man not far away. The man had a foul odor of alcohol but since he was obviously a very strong lycan, he probably had unbelievable resistance to the toxin.
He did not need supernatural hearing to understand the tone that Sybil and the man were talking with. Sybil was in heat and the man was worried about her. He was correct in being worried, Aiden was new to the city and was an unknown. And the pheromones released by the woman in heat has the potential to turn any man into a sex crazed beast.
Maybe it was not the best of ideas to travel with the woman, not under the current circumstances. For the woman's own peace of mind,he would take his leave. "You must forgive me," The man softly spoke in an apologetic tone, "but I forgot some urgent business" It was a lie, an excuse to leave the woman to retake her peace of mind.
Then Aiden bowed his torso towards the woman, and again towards the foul smelling man. The man took a step back and took a leap into the sky with his back foot. The jump was enough to propel him into the roof of the building. From there he made his way away from the woman, still holding onto his briefcase.

"I couldn't help it, being outside helps for some reason, probably because there are less walls in which are containing me. It's open and easier to flee if I am forced to do so. Being in there even though you and Duke aren't bothered by my scent, it just felt ... wrong. I'm sure that I would have eventually stank that place up anyhow and that some other lycan would come to investigate so I figured I'd spare you the trouble."
She clearly didn't understand why he was drinking for upon hearing his response she looked at him with a questionable expression. It certainly didn't make sense to her as to why he would be wanting to dull his senses and numb his reaction time to everything though he wasn't acting funny like the humans did when they drank liquor. He also didn't possess that faraway look in his eyes that frightened her when they were drunk that humans did so she assumed the alcohol wasn't affecting him all that much.
"My sister ... she doesn't hate you ... she's just concerned because she had a premonition about me. It's nothing to worry about and she probably won't be back here for a while and even if she does come again I'll probably make more of a stand and insist on remaining here. The pack seems to have fallen apart since I left as well as this city."
When Aiden decided to take his leave she silently nodded her understanding and though Duke didn't seem to realize it she knew he was there and hadn't really had a chance to acknowledge his existence. She didn't know him particularly well seeing as she hadn't known Razu all that well. Out of the three of them she'd probably associated with Steffon the most.

Duke watched half amuzed and half disturbed as his presence so far had gone unnoticed by both the fleeing male and Sibyl herself. His aura had certainly gone down and Duke was aware of this but to have fallen so low as to be ignored by so many...Maybe this would come in use at some point..? Though without Jaden around it was assured that he would draw attention no matter what. Duke flipped his long red hair out of his face and leaned against a building to watch the show.
