Al had already seen her face fall and a sharp pain sorta flung itself against him. It took him a moment to relise that it was becuase she had become sad. what a fool he was,though he might as well admit to her his plans.
"Don't worry about the whole 'you're only my meal nothing else to me' thing. I was planning that earlier but you've perked up my interest now so I have more reasons to keep you alive for the moment."He stroked her head again. He'd left out exactly what made her so interesting but she'd didn't need to know that as far as he was concerned.

She looked back up at him, into his eyes. It did make her feel a little better that he said that... She smiled softly at him and remembered a conversation that she and her mother once had. She had been sitting in the livingroom of their house, reading her favorite book. Her mother had been walking past, then her book seemed to catch her eye. She sat next to Kohaku and examined the book a little and chuckled. "Vampires, ay?" She said and smiled at her. "I met a vampire once... Can't say he was the nicest fellow.. Kinda cold.. He almost bit me too... But I bit him first." Kohaku remembered that last part and chuckled. Her mother was crazy... She even said once that she had attended one of Beethoven's concerts, which Kohaku didn't believe one bit. But it seemed that these days, anything was possible.

He looked at her a little curiously,half expecting her to stand and run past him screaming. Okay well maybe not screaming but running with a mortified expression at least.
"You still look a little worried. Not that I blame you. Any moment this calm controled composer you see before you could melt and you'd be down on that table with a broken neck before you even relised I'd changed at all."
He chuckled,so much for not scaring her.

Kohaku just stared at him for a moment. That hadn't exactly been what she wanted to hear. She peered down at the table for a small second and shivered. Then again, quick and painless didn't seem so bad.. It wasn't like he was going to torture her to the point where she was on the edge of life and death. She had a dream about that once... But it was like she actually felt the pain. And every time she remembered it, the pain seemed to attack her like a snakebite, very quick but lingering. Her back tensed and her face cringed a little. The dreams had become more and more frequent, and for each dream, the pain lasted a little longer.

Al could already tell it had been a mistake to say that,well when was it ever okay to say that?
"I'm sorry, that was horrible of me to say. True but horrible."
He was about to put his hand over hers but re-considered it, dropping his hand onto the table.
"sorry I just thought that maybe it would help me explain better.." He mummbled trying to find the right words. trying to explain to someone exactly how fragile and easy to destroy their life was is always hard to explian. Especially if he actually intended to keep them alive.
He drew up close to her,so thier faces were only inches apart. kohaku would be able to smell his breath. It was like an almost vanillary essence mixed wih some other thing so it was both sharp and alluring. his eyes had gone to a lightest honey color and he looked at her through his eyelashes. Then gently with his index finger he ran it down from her temple to cheek.
"Kohaku"
He breathed his breath alsmot whispering and strangely also alluring.
It was rare many woman or femals could ever escape this tacttic of seduction,but he was trying to make a point after all.

Kohaku was caught off guard by it all. She stared into his eyes.. They made her want to fall asleep in them.. His breath smelled so.. Strangely wonderful. And his voice.. It gave her a short tingly feeling. It was like she was being pulled in.. Like a moth to a flame. She felt like letting all her worries fade away... And she wondered how such a beautiful thing could be so deadly...

Al pulled away,satisfied with the resutls and shook his head. All to soon the enchanting illusion was over.
"And that is my point to be exact. It's too easy to fool those not of my kind into a willing state to follow and obey.
we're are perfect predators. Everything about us draws our prey in. like a deadly plant I guess. even our scent can send some into a frenzy. So easily could my hands.."
He trailed off,he stll didn't wan to scare her but still anted to get his point across.
"Basicaly we both need to be carefull when we're near each other."
he shook his head again. He could of said that to start with but it's always easier for someone to remember when they relise just how close they could have been to their own demise,
he once agaid edited his thought though, the exact amount of people he'd done that to might alarm her even more.

Kohaku seemed to snap out of it the second he pulled away. She was shocked at how easy it was to die. She felt so helpless.. It was frightening, yet so amazing. How easily something that you worked so hard to build up could be so easily taken away... A loud crash of thunder that shook the ground threw away her train of thought. She looked out the window and almost swore she saw someone as the lightning flashed.. But then again, that was her mind... Why she hated storms.. She saw things she didn't want to see.. She quickly turned away from the window, eyes widened a little.

Al chuckled.
"so is that me you're scared of or the thunder?"
Although there was humour in his voice it also hid a trace of seriousness.
He slung off his jacket and slid it across the table towards her.
"you can use that if it gets too cold."
He could stil hardly believe she hadn't started to get up and leave. also that she still seemed more afraid of a storm than him,an errie more dark part of him hissed out at that point.
'you know that could easily be changed'
it was even more unerving that after 2 minutes he still hadn't pushed back the thought.

She nodded at the question. Really, both of them kinda scared her. Though she did think that he was a little frightening, he also seemed comforting.. She wasn't sure why, but something about him made her feel a little better about being in this storm with no way home.... Though it could've been a false sense of security..She smiled as he gave her his jacket. In all the "excitement" she hadn't realized how cold it was in the room. She quickly put it on and cuddled up in it. Then she looked at him and wondered if he was getting cold without it.

He looked some what relieved that she had taken the jacket, it was getting slightly chiller in the room. his eye now looked around the darkened room,for a place called the fallen star they seemed to be hopeless at having any light whatsoever in the event of tru darkness.
"S'cuse me for a minute."
He said, standing up from the table and making his way to the bar. a few mutters were heard from within the confined space between the bar and back while until an audible grunt was heard and al re-appeared with a boc of matched and candles.
"Courtesy of the manager."
He said grinning and lighting three of the five he had.A spark came out of the wicks and bathed their table and each other in a reddish light giving her a more dominant appearance and in his case a more twisted.
He moved to the seat opposite Kohaku and rubbed his eye,this storm was not doing anything to help kohaku's chance of survival. They were alone in a darkened room in the middle of a storm. A body can easily be placed somewhere in this kind of weather. Suicide,a trip down a stairwell. And now that the drafts coming inside was blowing her scent around the room he could practically taste her already.

Kohaku stared into the flame of the candles. They had always seemed so beautiful to her. A lot of times she wished she could just reach out and touch the flame, but she knew better now. Her room had tons of candles in it.. It always seemed that, when no one else was, they were there to comfort her in a storm. She sighed softly and looked over at him. What could he be thinking right now? She wondered to herself. She was starting to really miss her home. The nice warm fireplace, her soft comfy bed, and even her piano. She yawned subconciously as she remembered the bed. Sure, she was used to staying up late, but it was getting later than she was used to.

Al noticed her yawn. with a start he remembered that this particular species did, after all, need sleep.
"Do you want to go home?"
he asked almost curiously. It was probabbly later than he relised so it shouldn't have surprised him as much as it did.

Kohaku looked up at him and smiled wearily. Part of her did want to go home... But the other wanted to just stay here with him. And it's not like she could go anywhere right now. She looked out the window again and sighed. It was like the storm came out of nowhere... She subconciously wrapped the jacket around her more tightly.

He saw her hesitation when she glanced at the weather outside. He couldn't help but surpress a grin.
"you know if you did want to go home i could always...get you there."
He left out specifics purposly.There where to ways he could get her home. the first was easiest for him, although it could make her a little quesy if she didn't close her eyes. And the second would probabbly scare her too much,not to mention freeze her.
