Thorn smiled at Therin
"ah yes your right, he seems to be very smooth with his words and actions" Then Thorn shruged her shoulders and looked around the club.
"well to tell ya the truth after all the excitement thats happened tonight im totally ready to go home to the tv and my video games" Thorn said smiling happily then waving Zack goodbye , he waved back.

Gitano saw the look and smiled. "No, I would never be able to meet you." He leaned down and kissed her head. "If you want the full story, you only have to ask."
He let go of Suzuka and sat down on the edge. "Though truth be told: the view here beats the London one."

Therin nodded. "Alright, I understand. We can go home now if you want."
She followed Thorn out from the club. "Perhaps we can try someplace else for a while if you want to try and keep things quieter here."
She gave her a sideways smile. "So, tv and video games, huh? What you planning on doing or playing?"
Suzuka wasn't sure about Gitano's last line, so she just smiled and sort of ignored it. "Hmmm. I've always been interested in going to England. Other places too. Maybe I'll have the chance now."
She turned and looked at him. "I'd be interested in hearing all your stories, but I just didn't want to seem too pushy, ya know? I mean, I know at least with humans, there are some things, particularly traumatic experiences, that people don't like to talk about. And I would assume that being changed would be pretty traumatic..."

"I meant this view. Stars above, lights below. Beats London's, or at least, the London I grew up in," Gitano looked up at Suzuka and smiled, "Well, your grandfather left you a lot, you have more than enough to visit any country you wish. You can backpack all of Europe."
He patted the spot beside him, if she wanted to sit with him. "Well, I'm the one who offered, so you wouldn't be pushy. But I can understand where your coming from. I never knew much about the one who turned me...Never asked. As for the change?..." He paused as he searched for a way to put words to it. "I would be lying if I said it wasn't a big deal, but as I said earlier, I have no regrets. I've come to terms, but yes, it is a tender subject." He looked back up at her and smiled to show that he wasn't upset or sulky.

Therin was momentarily stumped by Thorn's question about where else to go. "Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure. There are certainly a few other clubs around here... I don't know if you've cultivated such..... usefully and convenient relationships at any of the others, but I'm sure we could adapt." She smiled a rather seductive and devilish grin. "And if push comes to shove, we can always pick up on all the poor Johns down on the red light corner."
She chuckled at Thorn's plans for at home. "I never have been the best at any of the Final Fantasy type games. I'm not very adept at the fighting. Not very good at Guitar Hero either, though depending on the song, I can bash out a decent drum...."
Suzuka's eyes widened a bit at the thought of so much money. "Um, Wow! That might actually be fun, but I think I'll wait a while before I go making any plans like that."
Walking over, she sat down where he indicated and nodded. "Yeah. I sorta get it. I mean, of course, I've never gone through anything like being changed, but at least to a point it doesn't take too much to imagine. So..." She looked at him through the corner of her eye. "You stole a violin from a vampire, and he turned you for it?"

Thorn looked at Therin and put her arms behind her head
"nah i only have conncections at this club, sorry" Thorn said walking like she did'nt have a care in the world.
"oh and if you like i could teach you how to fight in final fantasy and how to rock out on guitar hero if you want" Thorn said stracthing her index finger on her cheek.

"Not quite that simple," Gitano said with a laugh.
"I stole the violin from a poor school master when I was ten. I had thought there was food in the case, not an instrument. I broke it though. Didn't mean to, but it happened. As punishment the school master took me in and had me work to pay for a new one. He had me on street corners, playing the broken one, for spare coins. It was one cold night when he walked up to me. He paid off my debt and took me in. The school master and dubbed me 'Gypsy', but the vampire gave me the name I call myself now."
He paused and thought about what happened next.
"For eight years I was taught to read, Latin, Greek, French, German, art, music, math...anything he thought a young man of that time would need to know. Lessons during the day, and at night I would recite what I had learned and play for him. At least, the nights he was in. I had noticed little things that seemed strange. I never saw him during the day, rarely touched his food, seemed to avoid mirrors, and didn't seem to age much.
By the time I was eighteen I was quite a popular musician. Always asked to join certain dinner parties, play at balls or for a private audience, or join in an orchestra for a opera. I enjoyed the attention, but there was always the nagging feeling of something strange about that man who had taken me, a nameless street rat, in.
I had turned twenty when I confronted him about my suspicions. We fought...argued would be a better word, when he confessed to my superstitions. He was a vampire. The next thing I can clearly remember is staring up at him from the floor while he was wiping blood from his wrist."
Gitano sighed, slightly surprised how easy, and relieving, it was to tell his story. He looked over at Suzuka and studied her face. "That's my story in a nut shell, but it obviously didn't end there. Your grandfather, and now you, are a part of it. As I," here he chuckled a bit, "am a part of your story."

Therin smiled. "That's alright, kid. We'll make do for a while. When things have cooled down a bit, we can start going back to the club."
Her eyes went big. "Really? You'd do that? Not sure how good a student I'll be, but I'll certainly try."
Suzuka cocked her head as she listened to Gitano tell his story. It was sort of sad, but at least in the beginning, it sort of reminded her of Les Miserables, a young man stealing 'food' and being caught and forced to work off his debt.
She chuckled a bit at herself, shaking her head. Why did she always seem to find literary or musical parallels for situations?
"Wow. The middle part kinda sounds like a good life. I mean, not cool to be so hungry you have to steal food, and being changed like that doesn't sound like much fun either. But the part in between...."
She smiled at his last comment. "True. Every person that we come across in our life is a part of our story. The more we interact with them, the bigger a part of our story they are."

Thorn smiled at her happily when she called her kid. For some reason being called a kid made thorn happy, made her feel liked she belonged, and reminded her that she was still a kid and that deep down she really liked still being a kid.
" hehe ok , but what should we do until then" Then Thorn nodded
"ya of course i would " Thorn said smiling warmly.
"which game would you like me to teach you first" Thorn said looking at Therin.

"Hm...yes, those years were good..."
Gitano looked over at Suzuka and had the sudden urge to just bury his face into her neck. Not his fangs. No, he wouldn't bite her unless she gave him her content. He just wanted to bury his face in her hair and breathe in her sent.
Instead he smiled and asked, "The question is: How big will our respected roles be?"

Therin considered for a moment. "Hmmmm, I'm not entirely sure. We can talk about it later when Gitano gets home."
"I don't know. Which one would you like to start with?"
Suzuka could almost feel the electricity in the air. It wasn't exactly a bad feeling, but it wasn't something that she was used to feeling. The strangeness of it mad her feel slightly uneasy.
She tried to shake it off and smiled at Gitano. "I don't know. Only time will tell, I guess."

"hmmm how about guitar hero"

Gitano sighed, "True..."
He gently rubbed Suzuka's hand. He had nothing left to say and was content to sit there until the sun came up or Suzuka fell asleep. Whichever came first.
((Sorry, couldn't come up with much))
