*Akito blinked at Clever's statement. No one had ever said something like that to him. His father had just always discouraged storytelling of any kind. History was not kind to his village.*
Oh...maybe...Do you have any stories then?

"I 'ave a couple, but they don't 'ave many 'appy endings."
*Clever thought to her wrist and the story behind them, growing up with an absentee vampire mother was a strange story.*

*Akito stared at Clever for a moment, and then smiled to himself.*
I'm sorry, did I somehow indicate that my stories had happy endings? If you have something to tell, please do.
*He leaned back on his hands, glancing up to the sky to see that his star was still clouded over. He sighed and looked back at Clever. He thought of Synge briefly, and what he was here to do. He pushed that thought away as he felt his heart twist.*

"Oh sorry.. umm well my mother is a vampire and when I was young I tried to commit suicide, my dad was murdered.."
*Clever wondered if she should say anything to specific, she was kind of private in her affairs.She laughed a little*

I see...
*Akito looked at Clever for a moment, noting that this was probably the cause of her somewhat exotic look. He stared at her, seemingly not thinking anything. His eyes were calm and void of visible emotion. Finally he spoke.*
Don't you think you've left some of the story out? Tell me then, why did you try to end your life?

*clever chuckles, how silly of her to forget to actually tell a story.*
"Yeah sorry. Well I slit my wrists when I found my father dead, I thought I 'ad no one and was all alone.. I didn't know my mum was alive..it was just a rough time."

*Akito nodded as Clever started to tell something of a story. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine what she was saying. He sees Clever finding her father dead, his life gone forever. He sees her ache with this lose, feeling alone, and resorting to an attempt to follow her father to the afterlife. There are blank spots in the moving story in his mind. He opens his eyes and looks at her.*
How old were you? How did your father die? Where did you find him?

"I think I was about twelve. 'e was murdered by the Ventru clan, very bloody mess.. 'is body was strung up from the second story staircase.. "
*Clever felt sort of put off by all his questions, it was true she wasn't much of a story teller, but she almost thought he was prying. Images of her father hanging disemboweled from the staircase raged through her mind.*
"I remember coming 'ome , I don't remember why I wasn't there, when I opened the door, there was all this blood on the floor. Pools of it. I 'eard the snickers of people in the air, then I saw 'im. My father, or what was left of 'im.. then some men from the Clan tried to attack me. I blacked out.. I woke up in blood, but it wasn't mine.
I didn't 'ave anyone.. I went into the kitchen and took a knife.."
*She looked liked one of those shell shocked soldiers remembering the war, her eyes however were narrow. She tugged up her sleeves and showed Akito her vertical cuts on her writs. She wondered how long it had been since she went into that much detail of the murder.*

*Akito looked at Clever and then closed his eyes again, putting the rest of the pieces together. He saw a young Clever now, much like how she was now but less mature. He saw her bloody father strung up horrifically. He imagined the young Clever reacting to this scene, it was quite hard to imagine this. He clearly saw everything that Clever was describing, he frowned. When shes stopped talking he opened his eyes and looked at her. His eyes went to her exposed wrists. He reached out to touch them and looked at her face with kind eyes.*
I'm sorry. No one should have to see something like that.

"It was just the first time I saw something like that."
*The way Clever said that it was as though she didn't want to go into it right now. But having such a strange family left her open for lots of things that she shouldn't see, she blamed her mother.*
"It's getting late shouldn't you worry about 'ikaru?"

*Akito nodded at what Clever was saying. He couldn't really relate to her exact situation, but he did feel something in the way of pity for her. He gently touched her scar, but then quickly pulled away, feeling awkward about touching her suddenly. He paused and shrugged at Clever's question.*
He'll be fine...

*Clever didn't care when he touched her, she even blushed a little, she tugged her sleeves back down.*
"So you 'ave any stories you wanna share?"
((I'm going to be going her in about 20 minutes))

((Ok 3nodding ))
*Akito watched Clever blush and wondered what it meant. When she pulled down her sleeves he wondered if she was embarrassed about her scars. He paused to think about her question and looked back up to the sky. He smiled, his little star was showing again and shining as brightly as it could.*
My mother died when I was 10, I don't really remember a lot of it really. I am told that she got sick one day and just never got better. In my memory, I see that she was my mother one day, then she stayed in bed later one morning and never got out again. A few weeks later she was gone. Then she was no longer my mother. All I've had since then is my father...He is very different than my mother was, it is unfortunate really. Now I work for him, trying not to make him angry...
*Akito frowned, his star was being covered again by those damn clouds. He glared and stood up, brushing off his pants.*
Maybe I should go look for Hikaru...

"You shouldn't worry about your father so much and just worry about what makes you 'appy. I 'ave to do that with my mother sometimes."
*Clever also stood up allowing her back to pop, it had gotten stiff. She seemed a little sad that he was leaving, but it was also getting late.*
"Alright"

*Akito nodded at her and then looked away, thinking about where Hikaru might be.*
Hm, perhaps...I think Hikaru would want to tell you to sleep tonight...he seems concerned about that for some reason...So, you should sleep tonight.
*He walked down the steps and then turned around for a moment, fiddling with his hands.*
Um, so, see you later Clever.
