Bella nodded, a compassionate smile gracing her lips. She removed her hand from Seti's shoulder, and resisted the temptation to hug him. SHe wasn't sure if her exessive concern for others would make the situation worse or better. The sheer abtruseness of the present circumstance was agitating her a litte, but she knew they had bigger problems than her not understanding.

Seti looked at Kirus as he spoke that line. "Yeah. I guess your right." He nodded slowly and smiled lightly as he watched Kirus smile. It just needed time, but time he had plenty.
He then looked at Bella and nodded once more. "Thank you."

Elias Murieta, a monster wearing the costume of a man. Six feet 3 inches tall and barrel chested, with a cigar in his mouth and a pair of large six shooter hanging from his hips he looked like something straight out of the wild west.
This was partially true, born in the Gold Rush era in Los Angeles, then a newly acquire territory of the United States. Elias, like his father Joaquin, had been a claim jumper. Stealing back the land which had been violently stolen by the people that were already there. And like his father he met with an murderous end. Or so the history books would lead to believe.
The Murieta, were and old family, far older then there Spanish surnames. Keepers of the Serpent Codex, and Aztec Manual said to hold the power of the serpent God QuetzalCoathl. And as with all books that held great power, all sorts of beast and men wanted to posses it.
In an act of desperation, after loosing his wife and unborn son to those who posses the book, broken of spirit and tired of life, Elias attempted to destroy the book, and succeeded. But there was a terrible price to pay......all that power couldn't just vanish, it needed a vessel, and it found it....... in Elias Murieta. A man who had only moments after destroying the codex put a bullet through his head. The book brought him back to life......as the living vessels of the serpent God.
Using his new found powers Elias made his way to Gaia, a new world far from the suffering of his own world and has sought these last few centuries to find once again what he had obtained for a few moments so long ago.
Peace........
With a heavy sigh, a long hard drag of his cigar, and a jingle of the guns hanging from his belt, Elias made his way into the Bar, just another stop on his endless wanderings........

Bella smiled and curtised slightly, "You are most welcome. Anything to help a friend." She straightened and brushed her hair over her shoulder. She looked down, saw her now red-stained shirt, and sighed softly. It was hard to find a white shirt she liked very much, what with her old-fashoned tastes and all. This would mean sevral months of shopping in flea markets to replace this one top. Why did she have to be so picky about clothes?

Kirus nodded softly, seeing that things were slipping back into what might be classed as normal restraint.
He knew that after everything Seti and even himself would be tired for a while. Would need rest or comfort. Neither would accept such a gesture however, and the atmosphere in the room was already snapping into something other.
A man had entered the bar, his attire was something from an old movie and he seemed to be wearing his heart on his sleeve, his past like a sheriff's badge that was missing from his chest.
Kirus allowed his eyes to stray to the other for a moment or two, but did not stay long. He realised easily that he knew the other, had met him elsewhere, other times, other days. He said nothing. He let his gaze slip back to Seti with a mid concern and with a raise of his head, nodded at the bar tender to fetch them something, anything. At this point he would take blood or water, or anything in between.
His gaze turning again, emerald eyes taking in the surroundings fell across Bella, her shirt soaked in crimson wine. His head told him she was fine, his senses knowing easily that she had been healed. He's missed that somewhere and he blinked heavily, casting a swooping dizzying glance across the crowd here wondering which being had such a power, save Bella herself.
He knew what the other vampire was thinking. Kindred in such vanity as they were...

Seti nodded. He thanked Bella with it once more. His gray eyes drifted to the man who had just entered. The gaze stayed on the man a little to long, before flicking his gray orbs back to Kirus. He needed to find a way to sincerely thank the vampire, cause words where just words.

Drayeion opens the door quietly and comes in, not trying to draw attention to himself. He didn't usualy stick out, so long as he kept to the shadows. He had pitch black hair that was a bit on the long side, but not to much. He was a a bit more tan than most vampires, a result of staying in the sun despite any pain that may accompany it. His figure was muscular, but not so brawny that it looked unnatural. He was also fairly tall, his coal black eyes could scan over a crowd from this height.
He quickly passed his eyes over the setting, and sighed softly. Of course Bella would be here. She is usualy where ever anything interesting was going on. He was almost positive that she would notice him. His scent was very familiar to her.

Bella smiled at Seti, she was about to open her mouth to say something, when a familiar scent caught her attention. Drayeion? she thought, then sighed. Of course it was him. She glanced up in his direction and smiled slightly. She turned her eyes back down to her shirt. He would probably notice that, too. She brushed her blonde hair over her shoulder and carelessly toyed with one of the waves on her right side. Any second now, he was going to come over there and ask her what she had gotten into this time. She was sure of it. She started to try and come up with what she was going to say when he did.

Elias smiled for a moment, he knew that the gaze of at least two others had lingered on his frame. One he did not recognize, while the other he did. It was a frenchmen that he had met once long ago, in the days gone by.
A sly smile erupted slowly on his lips. "Bon soir frenchmen, we met in a bar many years ago. How ironic that I should meet you once more in the same place." he said as he leaned against the wall, as alwats a lit cigar perched between his lips.
For a moment, his yellow serpent eyes met the gray ones of the man whose gaze had lingered on him for a little too long. "I've always been of the mind set that one should introduce themselves before staring so long at someone." his face distorted by a cloud of smoke.

Kirus grinned widely, despite himself and the situation that was ebbing around his ankles waiting to swallow him in a tsunami .
He hoped Seti would find himself rightly.
He hoped Loki was really gone.
The change in the atmosphere in the bar was palpable on the air, he could taste it, the newcomers, their smiles and guarded gazes. He knew however that the former patrons, at the edges of the room, shuffled their feet and looked in wonder, could things change so easily?
Kirus knew they could, had learnt that long ago. If one wanted to survive past being a fledgling, one must be able to adapt.
He patted Seti on the shoulder once more, and made his way across the room towards Elias. It had been a strange and fateful meeting, verbal sparring to match the series of secretive stares he had challenged Seti with all those months ago. Kirus shook his head at himself, his hair waving a little as he did so. This was not like him at all, to have so many acquaintances in one place, or at all. But then, vanity was nothing without a friend.
He extended his hands in either direction. "Hola amigo" he shot back to Elias with a wicked wink, "we, indeed meet again, I feel the gods of fate have a plan for us, though I wouldnt like to begin to wonder what that might be" he nodded, and turned his head back to Seti, and with a gesture,
"Allow me, Elias, Seti, Seti, Elias. I met you both under similar circumstances, therefore you already have something wonderful in common" he grinned, and after a pause "me" he could have been the Cheshire cat at that moment.

Elias could not help but laugh at the frenchmen, as he made the comparising between Seti and himself. Elias turned to Seti, a sly smile on his face. Elias afterall feard very little, a damnation to eternity would do that to person.
"I fear that if that is what we share in common, we should drink to our common woes." he said, taking another long drag from his cigar.
Turning back to the vampire Elias grineed, it was something that he did rarely but he was rarely in the company of those he would dare to call friends. "So, this is the hole you ended up in?" he smirked

Seti followed Kirus with just his gaze. His piercing gray orbs moved over the man once more. When the other spoke he nodded and smirked lightly. Taking a few steps closer and towards the bar. "A drink is indeed needed." He said to Elias.
That he was like himself was rather odd. It apeard Kirus liked to meet people and make friends like how they met. Seti ordered blood from the bartender, hoping it would finally get his body to 'think' and stop being stupid.

Elias cocked an eyebrow as the man went to get them drinks. "None for me good sir, I like to keep my senses sharp, unlike some creatures of long life, my metabolism does not bode well when it comes to fermented drinks." he said in a semi somber voice as he took a long drag of his cigar.
Elias, was after all more monster than man, a serpent monster to me more exact. Creatures which in nature have much slower metabolic rates then other animals, Which is why Elias like his slithering cousins only really needs to eat once every six months. Though opts not to take his body to such extremes.
"I prefer to keep my vices to the one I smoke." he said as smoke issued from his moving lips like the tendrils of the Medusa.

Kirus pouted a little, his lips pushing forward to form a plump and perfectly practice expression of hurt. He raised a palm to his chest and shook his head "You do me wrong" he commented, before breaking into a grin- he knew all to well that his vanity should not go rewarded. He made his way to the bar shooting that shining ivory smile back to Elias.
He turned to the bar tender and motioned with one hand, long fingers and sharp eyes letting the man know that he wanted another of what Seti had ordered, and that he would pay for both. He dug into his breast pocket and pulled out a folded pile of notes, the money clip inlaid with emerald, and dropped five pounds onto the counter as he turned back to talk to Elias.
"Vices...I think we talked of such things long ago, Its a wonder I haven't found any of my own yet" his lips pulled into a wry smirk as he went on
"Save the company I keep"

Drayeion saw Bella smile in his direction and sighed. Why was there blood on her shirt? He wasn't sure he wanted to know, but curiosity gripped him. He sauntered over to Bella, his walk more of a cat-like gait. When the two were standing next to each other, it was apparent how much their facial features have in common. As a matter of fact, they both had the same high cheekbones, full lips, and small nose. But, Drayeion towered over Bella's small stature, "Bella, my sweet, how did you manage to soil you christmas present?" he grinned. The shirt had been a present from him to Bella last christmas. He shook his head as he gazed down at her. If he kept this up to long, he would get a krick in his neck. He sat down at the bar next to Bella. He knew the two of them would be talking for a while anyway.
