"s**t? This is nothing." He had been through far worse; tonight was merely full of annoyance and confusion. "I admit I am more accustomed to the company of other vampires and those who have been accepted into our lifestyle. I have not made up my mind about you, yet."

Mull blinks again, then glances at Asher. "Just come to the conclusion that everyone does. I'm not worth the effort." He lets out a low, dark sounding chuckle. "Hell... Aion's really the only one that still exhibits any interest in me, and it ain't for my looks or anything like that. He just wants my... temperment and talents for his army." He shrugs slightly again before looking directly at Asher. "I'm used to others turning and walking out, never to return. It's a fact I've grown used to, so I doubt I'll whine, beg, or plead you to change your mind when you do make it up. Everyone's turned their back on me or denounced me at some point in my life. I've rather given up trying to actually mean anything to anyone."

Asher looked at him sharply and kept his focus on the hybrid as he spoke. Slowly he looked skyward for a moment in thought. "It would seem that we have far more in common than I believed possible." Suddenly, he crossed over to stand before Mull, gazing at him intently. "My face. It is beautiful... I am beautiful. That is why I was made a vampire." Then, for the first time in a very long time, he pulled away the golden curtain of hair from where it draped along half of his face and shoulder. The scars previously hidden there disappeared inside his shirt. "And this... this is what happened to me because I do not abandon those whom I love." There was so much more to it than that, of course. Even Mull had to realize that. And there were endless questions he could ask, if he cared to.
His voice was gentle when he spoke again. "Do you understand?"

Mull watches Asher as the other stalked towards him and pulled his hair up from his face. He took in the scars, obviously caused by something the vampire couldn't heal from, then looks down at his arms for a moment, multiple scars, both new and old, barely showing up on his own pale skin. "At least you had somebody that loved you at one time, though, correct? So we perhaps do not have as much in common as you might think. I was interested in someone once, a long time ago, but he turned on me when I got into a fight with one of his brothers defending his honor. I'm fairly certain the hex one of his parents put on me is one of the reasons I've had no luck with anything." He stares at Asher a moment longer, then gives a small nod. "I may understand a little. And, in all honesty, if you think the scars are meant to scare me away or make me terrified of you, you're preachin to the wrong choir here." He carefully reaches up and removes the collar from his neck, showing the massive scar he would carry throughout his life from his fight with one of Snape's other children.

"I realize that you seem to enjoy pain... and are probably desensitized from it. Consider for a moment that I am a vampire. Anything that can melt the skin of a vampire must be excruciating, non? Note how unlike you, I do not brandish my scars like a badge. Note also that I am hanging around you, and not said lovers. Where did they go? Mon dieu, I am not attempting to scare you, I am showing you that I do not abandon people, you silly child."
(( Through Hell and high water, Mull. XD <3 ))

((XD *chuckle* Mull's still gonna be clueless as to what exactly Asher is getting at. ^_^))
Mull frowns a bit, putting the collar back on. "I may brandish the scars I add to myself, but this one is my own personal shame. And I didn't abandon him, he abandoned me. Obviously I wasn't strong enough or smart enough to be considered good enough for him or his family. And yes, the pain you felt from that must have been excrutiating. Why would you go through that much torture for someone that doesn't appear to be here for you now? And... if they are still alive, why exactly did you come here with me, if, as you say, you didn't abandon them?"

(( And I think Asher is trying to resist the urge to pick him up and throw him against a wall. xD;
Asher: That brain of his must simply be a replica. >/
Be nice... o.o; ))
"The answer is simple: they abandoned me." Asher turned away and took a deep breath. "I believe we have had enough... intrigue for the night." He for one needed time to consider things for a while. And Mull... if there was any hope for him, he would live up to his name too.
(( ...sorry, couldn't resist the pun. >>; <3 ))

((*chuckle* Asher can feel free to toss him around a bit... Although I'm sure Asher knows by now that Mull would enjoy the hell out of that kind of treatment. ninja ))
Mull visibly flinches from the others words, glancing at Asher's back for a moment before nodding. "I... guess I'll walk you to the door then, if you're wanting to go back home...?" He left it a question, as if actually feeling slightly insecure around the vampire.

(( Oh no, he wouldn't give him the satisfaction right now. XD <3 ))
"That would probably be best, for now. Don't you agree?" the coon asked, turning back to face Mull again with full composure. Then he added, in a neutral tone, "Or do you have something else in mind?"

((LOL <3 ))
Mull blinks, looking back up at Asher before looking away. "I... shouldn't keep you here if you really do want to go back..." He shifts a glance at the coon again. "Sorry if anything I said struck a nerve... I... wasn't meaning to cause offense or bring up bad memories, really." That was the hardest apology the other had ever had to make, and, most likely, the first he'd ever made to anyone.

(( Aww... he's being so well-behaved. x3 ))
Asher watched Mull for a moment before closing the distance between them and lifting the hybrid's chin and lightly holding it there with his fingertips. His voice was soft. "I take no offense; you did not know. Neither of us knew, did we? I merely think that we should consider things before proceeding. I for one am not in a hurry." Lonely... but not desperate, or rash. He lowered his hand.

((XD I know, isn't he though? >_> He must really think Asher is worth persuing. ^__^ ))
Mull blinks, staring at Asher as the other lifted his face up and held it with his fingertips. Hearing what the other says, he nods briefly. "I agree... Rushing into anything won't make anything better... Matter of fact, rushing might make matters worse. So... I'll walk you to the door then and we'll call it a night?"

(( o: <3 If they can keep from jumping down each other's throats they might have promise. XD; <3 ))
"I agree, it probably would make things worse." Finally, they agreed on something outright. "Please," he swept his clawed hand out toward the door, "lead the way."

((XD Truetrue... And they both deserve someone special. *nodnod*))
Mull gives a slight bow before heading down the stairs once more, keeping his pace slow enough that it didn't seem like he was rushing Asher, yet fast enough so that he wasn't keeping Asher there until the sun rose, which was a very tempting thing for him to do.
"So... What will your housemates say...?" He asks, assuming the other lived in a rather large household, judging from the way the dragon had 'ordered' him around earlier.

(( I think so. x.x <3 Though I think everyone does. x3 ))
Asher followed at a sedate enough pace, again watching everything as they passed. "Say? About what?" Say? He knew exactly what they would say; something along the lines of 'It's about time, you whiner...' Not that he would ever admit such a thing.
(( Tempted to keep him 'til dawn? Oh dear... *snicker* xD <3 ))
