Luna was quietly trying to calm herself down, focusing on breaths that she didn't need though the instinctive reaction helped to steady her nerves a bit. Good lord how was she going to be any help at all around Lavinia? She sat down absentmindedly and it took her a moment to figure out who she was sitting next to, looking at Casper and patting his knee reassuringly before looking at Eros with surprise at his comments towards Casper, and then... Casper's reaction.... she bit her lip a bit stifling a giggle, still not totally comfortable... at all. But at least she was slightly less on edge because of it. Head perking up as Eros talked, since Casper and Theron didn't seem to be saying anything she gave a small sigh and looked at Eros, informing him on what she knew so far. "Casper knows.... really well how to take vampires down. I'm sure he could teach us something as far as combat goes." yeah that thing that he had taught her sure saved her a** against the hunters.... "He also has a friend that is still a hunter who he thinks will help us by supplying toxins and things of that nature. I have a lab downstairs that is open for use..." she bit her lip a bit, thinking if there was anything else that needed to be added.

Eros was actually a pretty good listener. He seemed to have a slight case of ADD but in all truth he could focus on something for hours. (Because hours to him were like minutes) The ancient vampire stuck the tip of his tongue out to graze the skin of his upper lip in a moment of thought. He was scheming. Unlike most vampires of today Eros had a job that focused solely on the vampire world. Unlike Luna who had her ice cream shop (however adorable and ironic it was) Eros was very much a vampire's vampire—though he was really great at camouflaging. His job this day in age (that he got paid really well for doing) was controlling hostile groups of vampires. He was very much so in charge of human vampire relations but was only called in for emergencies. Vampire code was that you basically didn't bother an ancient unless you had to...and you didn't criticize an ancient unless they were going to like, kill the president of the United States. So even though Eros had been a real general for hundreds of years, he still had some practice. Maybe his baby face and small stature threw people off, but underneath his nice fashion and golden hair there was a killer.
"Okay Lunista Le'Croix thanks for keeping me up to speed." Eros clicked his tongue, his eyes looking blankly at his rather tiny feet. "Hunter combat is defensive is it not?" He asked though Eros was quite familiar with the ways of the hunter society...then again they never bothered him so he had no clue as to how the hunters of today practiced. "But more often than not the vampire is killed...why is that?" He pondered aloud to himself. Dissecting the hunter way would have probably been something for Casper to do considering he was practically the face of the hunter army, but Eros liked to do things his way...and he liked to recall facts from hundreds of years ago that were still true today. "The partners." Eros looked up, now reddened eyes shining with newfound delight. "Casper St. Clair you've already done yourself a tremendous favor. You hunters...well, no you're still a hunter in theory despite your extra teeth. Your people still work together in twos in order to take care of one another. Lavina and Ambrosios worked the same way which was I never had a chance to kill that damned b*****d. You've gotten rid of Lavinia's partner, no one is looking out for her anymore. She's got all these minions surrounding her, but they don't love her the way her lover did. Don't you see? Your hunters, they loved you despite their training to welcome death. Your people put you on a pedestal and made you their hero, they still love you. Get your contact to make all the hunters believe you're still alive and that Lavinia has you. They can deal with her small army because that's what hunters are good at, taking down large numbers of weaker vampires. And now you Casper St. Clair and Lunista Le'Croix have a partnership. You care for each other obviously; you held her hand and made her sit next to you and you are resting your hand on his knee. You'd care if the other vampire got hurt which is why you two must be partners. I'll help in the battle just for fun but I really don't want to be stuck with the missing link over here." Eros cocked his head in Devonshire's direction. He raised both eyebrows but snuck a teasing smile towards the vampire blacksmith.
Casper was following what the vampire was saying, but he was still uncomfortable. He wasn't sure he could get Sarah to do that...or that Sarah would be able to convince everyone Lavinia had him. They'd need proof...oh but they could easily forge proof. A little makeup, some chains, a nice picture, it'd work. They could even bloody Sarah up a little to make it convincing. And his people would want to save him, hunters looked out for each other just as Eros was implying.
But still....that comment about him caring for Luna made Casper uneasy. He quickly removed his hand so it was no longer touching her side. He got easily embarrassed when it came to this stuff. But Eros had a point, Eros had a few points actually. Out of everyone here he did care for Luna the most, and even though Sarah had been his first in command and best friend (if you could say Casper had friends) she wasn't a vampire and she hadn't had any experience with elderly vampires. Luna knew how to deal with Theron, and they were currently getting a lesson in dealing with the extreme presence of an ancient vampire. She was his best option because well, he would care if she got hurt. But she wasn't too experience when it came to fighting... "If Luna is going to be my partner, I'll have to teach her a lot about fighting techniques. And I'm worried we won't have enough time for that." Casper looked to his side at the blonde. A tiny blush threatened to form on his cheeks but luckily Casper was dead and blood didn't work the way it used to. Eros raised an eyebrow. Wow there was tension between the two babies. Sexual tension perhaps? His job just got a little more interesting-oh but Devonshire was going to get so pissed off.
"Well how about this. You train her and you can test everything out on me and Theron Devonshire. If I cooperate you'll get a feel for how Lavinia is going act-without her mate she's forced to use the ancient tactics that enabled her to conquer and meet Ambrosios. These are roughly the same tactics I used during that time as well. Lavinia and I aren't the same as the vampires of today, or as Theron Devonshire. Life was brutal back then and Lavinia is going to have to become the animal she once was seeing as we're about to back her into a corner."

Theron raised an eyebrow at Eros' "plan" and gave a blank look over to the two of them, noting Casper's movements to detach himself form of contact with Luna. It made him wonder quiet a lot about what exactly was going on between the two of them. Fro the way the male had acted, he would guess nothing though it made him angry that Luna may have developed feeling for the male. She was still supposed to be his after all. But the male kept his composure and let none of what he was thinking showing on his face though he gave Eros a roll of his eyes. "Glad to see you haven't changed since we've last seen one another." he said with a half teasing half meh, shrug. Mind going over different things before looking over at Eros, getting down to business himself now that he'd decided to talk "Are you going to need anything specific made Eros? Luna?" he asked the two of them, looking over to Casper and pausing as Luna explained what he was talking about though he couldn't help but add in a comment of his own. "Luna may know more about fighting than she lets on, Casper."
Luna didn't realize what she'd done, nor had she noticed that Casper's hand was touching her till he moved it, small sad flash in her eyes as he moved away though that was it only momentary. She'd told herself not to worry about it so she didn't, it was stupid anyways... Head moving to the side as Theron spoke and shaking her head, "I'm out of practice and no unless you want to sharpen things for me." she looked back to Ero and nodded, wasn't as if she hadn't "attacked" her sire before, both in training and for real. It was going to be odd... and hard, though, to force herself to attack Eros. Finally she turned back to Casper to explain, though she wasn't sure if he already knew "Theron is a blacksmith, he makes Eros' arrows, last time I checked, and he made my own blades." she nodded and sighed a bit looked down at her feet.

"No Theron Devonshire, I've changed quite a bit." Yeah Eros was currently in his into men phase, which he's swap out of in probably like fifty years. Then he'd go for women, then maybe both men and women at the same time, then back to men, then back to women and then Eros would just have fun with himself and the go back to women. He had a complicated sexuality. And he just liked to push people's buttons and tell them they were wrong. Ooh, was he being offered free merchandise? Eros tapped his lips with his index finger. "I have the old ones you made me but I was thinking about adding a little toxin to these ones, understand?" Well Eros was a great shot but in case he missed the head and got the shoulder, it would slow someone like Lavinia down if there was poison in it.
Casper raised his eyebrows at this sudden burst of information. He couldn't believe he hadn't known Luna had at least some experience. "Luna it doesn't matter if you're out of practice, it's like riding a bike." Okay not exactly but Casper was trying to be encouraging! And what was this about Devonshire being a blacksmith? Well surprise surprise. And since when did Luna have blades? And wait, Eros had arrows? That was either incredibly ironic or done on purpose.
But it seemed like they were getting into phase one of the "plan", which meant Casper needed to call Sarah. She needed to know what was going on because the huntress had suddenly become a major player. "I'm going to call Sarah and see what she can do-uh Luna, we should go over some stuff while we have the time." Casper stood up and looked over at the two elder vampires. "You can come with me if you want." He said to Luna, wary about leaving her alone with the two men.
Eros eyes Luna and Casper and took into account their dynamic, as well as that of Devonshire's. Hmm, well he did have the time. "Casper St. Clair you're going to do this by yourself. I need to speak privately with our Lunista." He cast his head aristocratically over towards Devinshire. "You go and make yourself usefull." Eros got up and quickly took Luna's hand. He wasn't a threatening character...even though he actually was, so Eros hoped he didn't totally freak out the blonde.
The vampire also noticed Casper eyeing him suspiciously. "Go" He said sternly. Eros was patient, but not that patient. Besides, this was something Casper couldn't hear, nor could Devonshire. "Take me somewhere private we can talk." He said blandly as he looked at the vampiress. Eros had some girl talk he needed to get out.

Theron gave a nod, frown on his face as he stood though it wasn't from anything any of them had said as his head was already in his work figuring out how he would be mixing Eros' preferred metal with a toxin and still keep it active, as well as how to test it out. Nothing he couldn't figure out of course but it was still something to think about... "Casper, have Luna give me a call, or you, she has my number, once you get those toxins, preferably something that can be mixed with metal." he said with a nod, he had a few things of his own but if Casper's contact had something stronger then that was what Devonshire wanted, heading up the stairs to Luna's study and grabbing the dual silver longswords that resided on the wall there along with the dagger that went with the set. He was actually quiet proud of these weapons, made especially for Luna's style of combat and weighted to not only compliment one another but her as well he'd seen what the girl could do to a training dummy, and him on occasion, almost made him glad the girl was a pacifist.... Taking the weapons and putting them in their sheaths, tucking them under his arm he passed through the group, pausing momentarily to speak. "I'll need to see you use these Luna, before and after Casper trains you, to make sure they are still weighted properly." he said though he doubted that they weren't, old habits died hard and he figured Luna would still essentially stick to her own little style, still... with her incorporating a vampire hunters fighting style in with her own they may need some adjusting.... He nodded to the three of them then and took his leave, he had work to do and he smiled to himself. It was good to be working on something that actually meant something again rather than just for some snob a** collectors wall.
Luna raised an eyebrow at Casper as he said swordplay was like riding a bike, small shake of her head and a chuckle parting her lips. Casper stood, offering for her to go with him, which she was more than happy to do as Eros still kinda freaked her out. Only it seemed that wasn't going to be the case, frown given as Eros decided he needed to talk with her. Oh now he was grabbing her hand! She pulled it gently away from his, trying not to jerk and trying not to be rude but not liking the contact, it still made her nervous. Head looking up as Theron came back through with her weapons, noting he'd grabbed the dagger too and giving him a nod. "When you get back I suppose.." she said to his retreating form, suddenly being told she needed to take him to a private place, head moving up and looking around the house, the basement. Couldn't get anymore private than that to be honest. Soundproofing and all that fun stuff. "This way..." she said with a small nod and moved past Casper into the kitchen, making her way down the stairs.

 Eros raised an eyebrow was Luna moved her hand out of his but decided not to bring it up. What did he care if she didn't want to hold his hand? It wasn't like he even really knew her well enough to be offended. These days actually, nothing offended Eros. He was way too old to give a damn. He waited the few seconds for Luna to get her affairs together and gave Casper a slight nod of dismissal as the newborn have him a distrusting glance. God what did these people think he was going to do, eat them? As if-vampire blood wasn't nearly as delicious as human blood.
Eros followed Luna into the basement, which he found a tad bit creepy and looked around in slight surprise to find it was leading to a laboratory. So this was where the fabled lab was located, interesting. He saw a countertop and instantly Eros was on it in a crouch. Slowly the vampire lowered into a comfortable siting position was watched the blonde vampire.
"I understand you're a little fearful of me, which is fine, but really, I'm here to help." Well he was! "I know that seems weird seeing as I've known Lavinia and Ambrosios longer than I have you wonderful vampires but I have my reasons. First of all just to establish my experience, I've been in a lot of relationships and have been hit on by a lot of people. I've also hit on a lot of people." He wasn't gonna lie, he'd done a lot of chasing in his day. "Um I know you like him." Eros crossed his arms and gave Luna a look only a teenage girl could muster...and now also a 2000 year old male vampire. Eros was just full of surprises. He stood up suddenly, a little pop to his step. "But you guys are both way to shy and stupid to do anything about it." Eros shook his head. "He held your hand Luna, and you put your hand on his knee. He didn't even move away when you did it. He's just embarrassed because all hunting and no play made Casper St. Clair a dull boy. And I understand you're the sweet reserved type, but if you don't make a move someone is going to sneak up and take him away from you. He likes you too, he just doesn't know it yet...and is also extremely stressed out because he could die at literally any moment." That was probably a factor. "I'm right aren't I?" Eros didn't even need the reassurance, he'd seen this a thousand and one times. "He's not going to make a move, he's too scared and he's the type of man that thinks he's better off alone because he doesn't want to deal with the pain of having to lose someone. Well news flash I was that person too and it lasts about a year until you realize you really want some company. He does want you but you're not exactly showing him it's okay for him to want you. People don't want coy girls with chastity belts okay. You want him to be your man you have to show him that you're already his woman."
Eros sighed pursing his lips. "Okay fire away with the questions because the smell of this room screams poisonous."

Luna walked over as Eros settled on the countertop, taking the dart needle carefully off it and putting it into the sharps container. Head tilting as she listened to Eros and finally stood and looked at him, confused look on her face as he started into.... relationship advice? What the hell?! She thought he had something.... well she didn't know but she certainly wasn't expecting this. As much as this embarrassed her she still listened attentively, head tilted slightly. Sure she'd like to think he liked her and believe what this man was saying but she still had her doubts, she also didn't like pushing herself at people and she frowned and bit her lip, eyes going to her feet as she listened. Gaze moving from her foot and scanning the floor, lips pursed and she sighed as Eros finished, looking up at the male. "I don't know how." she said with a small frown. She didn't know how to do something like that, she never learned it and was far to shy and worried about offending someone to have ever tried it, swallowing and shaking her head. "I don't... I don't even know why I like him so much." she admitted finally.

 Lucky for Luna Eros had some pretty definitive views on love. He shook his head. She was worse off than he had initially thought. "Okay let's take this step by step. Does it even matter why you like him? I'm sure if you thought hard enough you could come up with a list of reasons as to why he's the one but that's a waste of time and is obnoxious. You don't need to know why you like him or why he's the only one you want. Chances are, if you haven't felt this way in a long time, you should just go with it and accept that you like him." Why did people always want reasons for love and affection? Wasn't just "I like you" enough? If you liked someone you liked someone and if you loved someone, well love was love, it was enough in itself. Eros hummed examining the blonde vampiress in front of him.
"You know what works really well in this type of situation?" Eros went up to Luna, the most innocent and docile expression on his face, as he gently lifted a finger and brushed the top of Luna's cheek. "You have an eyelash." He closed his eyes and planted a soft kiss to her lips before pulling away and looking at Luna with raised eyebrows and a "mmmmhmmm" expression. "That usually works for people like you who are apprehensive. You can actually use your fear of coming onto him to your advantage and make everything seem sweet. It's classier than sticking your hand down his pants and asking him to take you to candyland." Yeah Eros was aware he had just kissed someone and maybe violated their personal space, but he didn't care. He was helping Luna and honestly what the ******** was a kiss these days? Women ran around in bikinis, and those things were way more inappropriate than a tiny chaste kiss. "He does like you, I can smell it on him. And a stronger bond than friendship between the two of you would be ideal. In ancient greece homosexual relationships were encouraged amongst soldiers because it was believed a solider would fight with more conviction in order to keep the person they loved or liked or whatever safe. It's the same principle here. And if or when you two get passed this Lavinia ordeal, you'll be happier because you'll be in love. He's not in a good state of mind and that makes him vulnerable. Human beings along with vampires naturally look for something to lean on and your affection as well as interest romantically will be some our Casper St. Clair will find hard to resist in his time of need." Eros looked pretty smug at the moment. "And by the way. Acting pissy around him because you're too afraid to say "I love you" isn't going to make him like you, it's going to make him feel like s**t."

Luna, believe it or not, had never thought that just the fact she liked him was simply acceptable. She'd always needed a reason to justify her actions, try to make sure she covered her butt to avoid being punished. Which had a lot to do with her human years; but that was besides the point. Perking up a bit at the thought and the fact she was apparently getting more advice she looked at the male as he moved closer to her, brow creased as he moved his hand up to her face. Eyelash? She brought her hand up instinctively to brush it- WHAT WAS HE DOING!?!? She stiffened and looked at the male as he explained, blinking a bit and tense posture slowly going away... That was, unexpected, and very awkward for her, but... she looked at the male and nodded her head. Though it sounded almost like it would be taking advantage of Casper's emotional state, wasn't that wrong? But... he said he could smell it... wait does that mean Theron could smell it? She certainly couldn't smell it anyways... Also, she didn't think she was acting pissy! She thought she was hiding it pretty well.... She sighed and nodded her head "Alright...." she supposed she could try it... or something like it... or... something, maybe.

 Eros looked at the blonde disapprovingly. "That's the wrong answer." He said flatly. God what was wrong with these people? They were about to die and they were so boring! Okay maybe they'd survive, with his help, but they were knocking on death's door here and they were all too afraid to just act. "Get excited, you're going to do something you've wanted to do for a while now-hell a lot of people probably want to kiss Casper St. Clair just to say they did. And at this rate I'm going to beat you to it." Okay Eros wasn't actually going to kiss Casper, but it was a fun thought for the ancient who happened to find both members of Devonshire's company pretty darn attractive. Hell even Devonshire was good looking. Or maybe Eros was just looking for a ********, there were possibilities and Eros was hard to satisfy these days.
"Think about it this way, would you like to die without telling him how you felt? You have to think like everyday is your last day." Eros paused. "Actually that's a bad idea you'll get paranoid and actually die. Just do what you want to do without being afraid of what people will think. Take it from an old man, life is dreadful until you conquer it. Now go give that vampire a kiss!"

Luna looked at him with an, "are you serious" expression. What do he mean, "wrong answer" what did he want her to say? No? This man made no sense dang it!! Wait what? Beat her to it.... What? She shook her head and placed her hands on her hips, head cocked to the side and eyebrow raised as she looked over the male. She didn't get him, not at all. And despite the fact he was an ancient she shook her head again. "You make no sense, yet you make a lot of sense; all at the same time." she said with an exasperated sigh, looking out the door to the lab. Fine, she'd make a move on Casper, but she wasn't going to just run out there right now and lay one on him, that would just be weird... "And for your information I've already kissed Casper. So, beat you to it." she gave a nod and a embarrassed smirk, so there. Even if said kiss was while Casper was really super depressed and looking for a distraction... But that was beside the point, it was still a mutually shared kiss!! She turned to begin heading out of the lab but she paused, looking back over her shoulder at Eros with a small smile. "Thank you though, I appreciate the advice." she gave another nod to herself before turning again to leave, there were many things that needed to be done...

 Eros looked at Luna with a knowing expression. " When you're two thousand years old, the part that makes no sense, will make sense too." Eros was pleased, though Luna still wasn't totally confident in him. However, it did seem like the vampiress was going to at least try and get the attention of Casper, and hopefully do a little more than that. Eros liked romance, it was something he could relate to in this technological world. He wanted people to be happy because he wasn't one of those people that thought people should suffer because he suffered. It wasn't even like he was suffering, he was just bored. Besides, his encouraging the girl would spike up at least something interesting because Eros had been in Luna's position before and knew full well what she meant to Devonshire. Whether or not the two had been sexually involved wasn't important, Luna belonged to Devonshire just as Eros had once belonged to Ambrosios, and masters didn't like losing their property. Even if Eros had forgotten quite a bit from his past and had let things go, he was still sour about specific incidents. Though he enjoyed being a vampire, and found eternal you, incomprehensible power and wealth wonderful, he could never forget how wronged he was the day he was turned. He'd watched his family eaten alive for heaven's sake, along with the families of his friends. He hadn't even really been considered a man when it had happened the memory of clawing his way out of the unforgiving ground was still fresh in his mind thousands of years later. He felt cheated and played because for so long he was forced to serve a man that had taken everything away from him. Luckily Eros hadn't been sexually abused by the vampire like his female counterpart Cassandra had, but Eros was still bitter. And so he felt for Luna, because she probably had her reasons to be bitter as well. Vampires always resented their makers for understandable reasons but unlike most people Eros didn't just accept it as a fact. If Luna liked Casper or loved Casper he wanted to see them together because that was what was right. Just because Devonshire was his friend didn't entitle the man to everything he wanted. Not even Eros could get every single thing he desired, and Eros probably had the capacity to do what he pleased.
He raised and eyebrow and smirked as she playfully stuck him to it. "Well obviously it wasn't a good enough kiss." He said under his breath in a way that was clearly meant to be heard. Eros shrugged. "Listen Lunista Le'Croix, you can live a long time but you only live once. If Devonshire gives you trouble, come to me." He said seriously already knowing something without piss the blacksmith off.
While Luna and Eros were having their talk, Casper was off initiating phase one of their plan. Really he was the only one that thought of it was phase one, but Casper was partial to phases. The initiation had started with him calling Sarah. He felt sketchy as ******** because he had to ensure she wasn't being wire tapped or anything like that. And before they could really talk Sarah had had to get out of the hunter colony. The plan had gotten significantly more difficult for Sarah in particular because she had to convince a whore population that a man declared dead was actually alive. They also discussed that they'd have to meet in order to forge evidence, and that would be difficult with both Sarah's schedule and the danger of Lavinia. "Be careful though Sarah, this is more dangerous than we initially thought it would be." "I understand sir. But-nevermind. When should I meet you and where?" "How about in a day?" "I'll see if I can make the time. Jonathan has been cracking down hard since your...your death." The words were awkward and casper knew why. It was hard to think of himself as dead. "Understood. Listen carefully, no one can know this address understand. It's as classified as can be and it's vital you share it with no one. Furthermore when you arrive, well, you're in for it." "What?" "We're being helped by vampires." "Not just the blonde?" "No we're being aided by...hostiles." "Casper is that a good idea? Bloodsuckers like those are-" "I know but we don't have a choice here. They're trust worth as of yet but I'm not dropping my guard." "Understood. So you remember the toxins I've requested." "Of course." "Thanks Sarah, be safe. 71st and Broadway" "Got it."
Casper hung up the phone and sighed. This was like a secret mission, he hadn't done one of these in years. Casper ran a hand through his hair as he made a mental checklist of the materials he'd be getting from Sarah...if she could get them.

Luna gave a small chuckle and a shake of her head. If she lived that long, well perhaps she would remember what he spoke of and understand it. But for now she needed to survive this week... "Apparently not." she said with a nod, keeping in mind what she said about her sire. "Do you have a place to stay, Eros? I have two guest bedrooms open if you need them." yeah she had fixed the bed that Casper had broken so she had the extra room again. She kept walking, hoping that Eros would follow and talk as he walked. She had things she had to do, things to prepare, things to learn.... so much to do. She gave a sigh and started up the stairs, biting her lip as she made it into the kitchen. She turned as she went in, opening the broom cabinet and taking out two simple metal rods, good lord it'd been a while since she'd used these... picking them up she sighed a bit and hefted one of them in her hand, letting herself get accustomed to the weight before dropping her hand to her side and walking out into the living room, tossing the practice "weapons" onto the couch before beginning to rearrange the furniture, pushing things back out of the way to clear space though she did keep the couch and chairs in a small group together at the back, everything else went against the walls. Once that was done she nodded to herself and looked around again. That should do... So much that needed to get done... damn Lavinia...

 Eros eyed the blonde as she spoke. He wasn't sure if she was being polite of if she wanted him to stay. So Eros would ask! He wasn't above questions, in fact he'd always wondered why people didn't just speak their mind to get the answer they needed. "Well I've got my penthouse but if you'd feel safer with me near by, I could stay. So long as you have thick curtains." There was nothing more annoying than being blinded by the sun. It wasn't like Eros was doing anything anyway. He was in between ******** buddies at the moment anyway.
Luna started to move ahead and Eros took it as his cue to leave as well. What was the use in hanging around a creepy lab all by himself? Eros was a smart cookie and had learned an extensive amount of knowledge in his free time, but half of this technology was alien to him. Besides, the smell of the toxin was starting to annoy the ******** out of Eros who'd always had a sensitive nose. The vampire followed Luna out the lab and up the stairs but raised an eyebrow as she pulled metal rods out of the broom closet. "You should really get a special closest for these things." He said pointing to the training weapons. "How would you like to be stored in a broom closet?" He twisted his lips as she started clearing the living room but didn't offer his help. Hey, he was going to do plenty of helping later, he didn't need to help move furniture. Instead Eros walked over to the couch and picked up on of the metal rods. "What are these, toothpicks for dinosaurs?" He asked as he twirled one expertly between his fingers. How he had done so expertly was a mystery because Eros wasn't one to wield large weaponry. He stuck to the bows and arrows mostly because, because he was godlike with them, though he knew how to use knives among other things. "Lavinia used to have a penchant for throwing knives, though I haven't seen her use those in years." He mumbled quietly, nostalgia sweeping over the small male. "The thing about throwing knives is that they often aren't big enough to crack the skull. That didn't matter to her anyway, she just whizzed them right through the bone." Eros blinked, his mouth forming into an idle pout. "I hope she doesn't use the throwing knives, they're too easy to counter. She's better when she just goes at you with her bare hands." That didn't sound encouraging whatsoever.

Luna raised an eyebrow at Eros as he plopped down on the couch and began twirling her training sticks around. "They're training "weapons". No edge to help prevent injury." prevent injury, ha, even a blunt weapon like that rod could easily injure someone, it just prevented dismemberment... for the most part... "And I really don't mind where you sleep, I just wanted to make sure you had a place to stay while you were in town. A penthouse sounds much more comfortable for you than a guest room." she nodded and tilted her head to the side, looking around the living room. The floor was pretty much clear now... boy would Theron's old house have been good for a time like this, training ground, forge right there, large and spacious. But very solitary and out in the woods, easy to be surrounded... Was Luna a fighter? No she wasn't, but she'd at least paid attention when her husband spoke of battle tactics in his drunken stupors, she didn't know much at all but she at least had a clue....
She looked back at Eros "They're weighted the same as my swords so they make for good training tools." she commented absently, though one would find if a human tried to pick them up they would weigh... well they would weigh a lot. They were very solid and made for a vampires grip, strength, and swing, so they had to be heavier... Now, all she had to do was wait, she was still really apprehensive about this...
