Lance made a shushing noise and nodded. "You are correct my love but we must keep quite for now." He whispered and kept in the lead. Very suddenly he stopped and pushed against the wall. It gave way to a small room much like the last. Lance turned on the light and lead everyone in before closing the door; shutting out the outside world. "Is everyone all right?" He asked and put an arm around Mallory’s shoulders. He hoped he would not have to be in to much of an authoritative role he wanted to spend his time doing other things.

Mallory smiled and turned faintly pink, then mentally chastised himself. This was really no time to be reacting like a lovesick puppy to every little thing Lance did or said. Still... his love? Lance said it so casually, he sounded so sincere. Mallory had not expected it and could not help but be pleasantly surprised by it. When Lance put an arm around his shoulders, Mallory at first hesitated, chewing his bottom lip in thought, then he moved closer and leaned against Lance. Ah, why on Earth was he blushing now? He'd already kissed Lance; just standing with him should not be a big deal. Just thinking of those kisses made Mallory tenderly touch his lips again.

Franky looked around the place. "Should I make some food, or no? People may be hungry after the so called trek."

"We all seem to be in one piece." Alphonse replied to Lance's query, looking over their group. It seemed he did not have to worry about Mallory; the boy was almost entirely distracted from what he could tell. Mallory had even jumped a little at the sound of his voice, looking sheepish, but after a moment had just leaned against Lance again. Alphonse looked to Lillith. He had no particular ties to the woman, but as they were all in the same mess together, he thought it prudent to make sure she was holding up alright.

Lillith had gone silent for a long while again before quietly rising to stand. She shook her head at the offer of food. "I don't have the background music from a band, but if anyone had any requests I can sing quetly to help pass the time I supposse..." she offered.

"Do you perchance know Plaisir D'Amour? Non, probably not. Ah, such a lovely song. Quelle joli, cette chanson. Vraiment." Alphonse had no interest in solid, normal foods but if this room served much the same purpose as the last... Alphonse opened one of the stacked boxes and pulled out two of the stored blood packs. This would be much more useful than cooked food. Alphonse went to Mallory and offered him one of the packs. Just as Mallory looked about to protest, he cut in with "Argue with me next time, oui? Tonight I would rather be sure you can keep up. S'il vous plait, mon fils?"
Mallory made a petulant face as though he still might refuse. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked downright belligerent. His father just kept watching him and offering out the packet with that quirky smile of his, one corner of his mouth lifted higher than the other. "They aren't even ours, father. We cannot just invite ourselves to whatever we see."

Lance Smiled slyly and swept his other arm around the boy. "If it makes you feel more at home, I could feed you." He took the packet from Alphonse's hands and held it to the boy’s lips pressing gently for him to give in. "I could even share it with you." He chucked His face showing no sign of the danger they were in he looked as if it were any other day. In a way it was comforting for the other boys to see that their Lance was not an emotional wreck at times like this.
He turned his head only for a moment to address Lillith. "Can you sing such great heights??" He asked and winked. It was a favorite of his but it was an American pop song so he doubted that she knew it.

Alphonse raised one eyebrow, shrugged slightly and walked away. He still watched a bit more discreetly to be sure Mallory drank, but counted it one worry taken care of. He sank his own fangs into the other packet he had taken.
Mallory thought to protest again, and got as far as opening his mouth before the packet was pressed to his lips. Mallory hesitated briefly, but when his father walked away he obediently bit into it. Ah, was it really so good that Lance could talk him into things with so little effort? Probably not. But Mallory chose not to be bothered by it; reluctant or not, he knew that drinking would only help and not hinder him.

Lance grinned widely; He was glad that the boy gave in so easily, it would make life so much easier for him. "Good boy," He laughed and kissed the top of his head as he finished the packet. “There we go." He took the empty gelatin wrapper from his lips and set it on the table. He then swept the boy off of his feet and sat with him on one of the cots. "Do we have any life plans Mali dear?" He asked and winked. Hoping to take boy boy’s mind off of their current situation. He brushed a lock of his light hair out of his eyes and sighed.

Mallory put his arms around Lance's shoulders as he was once again plucked off his feet. Really, he could not begin to imagine why Lance kept carrying him about. Unless he was just amused by the shocked little gasps and pink cheeks that Mallory still could not help. "Life plans? I cannot say I have given my life much thought. I do not even know what I could do; my father does not let me go far from him. I suppose I might continue as I have been; helping in his studio and taking on some of his less advanced students when it becomes very busy." It sounded a little pathetic, Mallory realized when he said it aloud. It had never really bothered him that much before.

Lance frowned "Really?" He asked and sat up a little straighter. "When I was your age I was still human, and during my mortal years, Gods, My will was unbreakable I had the whole world right before my eyes. New York was the best place to be and I was right there." He seemed to shimmer with excitement at the memories of his past. "I was to become a star, it would have been grand!" His face seemed to fade lightly now. "But then I was turned." He sighed. "Choosing Vampracy over death is my one regret after fifty years of Immortality. " He looked down into the boys eyes. "But you Mallory, You still have a hint of the human charm, you can rule the world. Don't let your father keep you locked in a metaphorical box my friend." He gave him a deep laugh. "No matter what, never ever do nothing when you could have done something. "

Mallory smiles faintly as he watches Lance speak. He's never seen anyone so excited about life. It made him glad to watch; he had stopped even thinking about himself. It saddened him greatly when that light of excitement died out of Lance's eyes. "I suppose you are right. I have just never thought of what I might like to do. I have no dream of my own... but I will think on it. Please, tell me more. What happened to you? How did you come to be turned? I have never had a similar experience; I was born as I am."

Lance sighed, "It's really not that exiting, but if you want a story I can play it up for you." He smirked and settled down to tell his tale. "I was eighteen when I started working at a very popular nightclub in New York, I Worked my way up from being a waiter to a dancer, and I had a friend who worked with me as well. After Years of Working together my friend and I had a very strong bond, so we decided to take a trip to Europe just the two of us." He laughed darkly this was not a very happy story. It was during our second week and we were in some small city in Italy, The name of it escapes me but I know it was just big enough to have a department store but not big enough to have a club." He shrugged and moved on. So My friends and I were on our way to The bar, It was so post to be fun, Nether of use had ever been to an Italian bar and everyone was so kind to use we thought that the streets would be free of trouble at night. He stopped and reorganized his thoughts so as not to break down. "We were ambushed by a Vampire, A man. I never saw his face, but he came after me and while I was having the life sucked from my veins my friend made a run for it. The man dragged my body into a Large Compost Heap thinking I was dead, and ran after my friend. I stayed withering in pain in that heap for a bout five days, Then after the pain was gone, I-I went back out in to the world to find a photo of my friend's drained corpse in the day's paper. " He stopped and wiped away a tear that had fallen from his eye. "After that I just ran, I ran across Europe making it all the way to Ukraine before turning around and eventually making my way here. I had not feed in two weeks and my body was giving out when I was found by Nate and Johnny. They took me in and fixed me up, Along with everyone else. About two years after I joined the group Lexi joined as well. Because all the other guys worked as prostitutes, it was very easy for me to find a job working with them, so I have mostly lived this way ever since. I have no hope of ever working my way back into human society with my appearance so I just do what I can." He sighed and leaned back against the wall.

Franky walked over to Mallory and Lance. "Hello my little kiddo's in the corner." Franky smiled jokingly, trying to enlighten the glum mood soon to be over Mallory's pleasant head. "Would you 2 care for some gree or chamomile tea? It is exquisite." He kissed the tips of his pinched fingers like a french chef would. "Muy bein to the makers." He smiled, in a good mood.
(Excuse my atrocious French please.)

Mallory listened quietly as Lance spoke, never interrupting. It was the first time he had ever asked anyone about being turned and it was such a violent and frightening story. It was a long moment after Lance finished speaking before Mallory could even react. "Merde... I... I should not have asked. I am sorry." He reaches to caress Lance's cheek and stroke his hair. He felt horrible about upsetting Lance, but now Franky was speaking to them. "Tea... yes. I suppose tea would be good. Très bien. Merci, Franky." Mallory smiled faintly, still practically petting Lance. How petty his squabbles with his father seemed compared with the drastic changes and painful loss Lance spoke of.
