Welcome to Gaia! ::

Smirking mildly, Viktor looked at the two youngsters.

I'm not so sure, Lady Latverious... These two can be quite crafty I am sure. And I am not quite as young and boisterous as I once was... This may prove to be quite the endeavor for me.

He gave a small grin, and posed to be a slightly decrepit old man. Although he stilled looked not but a day older than 25.

Bain waved a hand, smileing politely as she replied. " you neednt call me that. im not married to Sergei, so Bain will be fine." her expression froze when she heard the girl speak, turning to look at her with slight shock. " Lord Dedrick.. the vampire lord in the north?" how did a child know a name like that..? looking at Viktor she waited for his answer as well, unsure if he knew the late vampire. but still.. the lord had been killed by a rival family.. years ago it seemed. this girl couldnt have been very old then... kneeling down to Lark's level she asked kindly. " darling, how would you know a Lord like that.. was your family in his court?"

Reks, senseing the change in the mood, inched closer to Lark and watched the others warrily. Lark was her friend, and if she thought she needed to she would defend her.

"Hate to break this up, but not in the mood for drama at the moment." Raven said dryly, her cap pulled down low over her eyes to hide her face. her Motorcyle was parked next to her, never makeing a sound as she had pulled up. human she may be.. but she had a few tricks of her own. leaning casualy against the stone wall she watched them from under her hat, chewing on a tooth pick bordly. holding up a sealed envolope she raised an eyebrow, knowing they couldnt see her do it. " you wanted this Miss Bain."

with a very lady like snort Raven let her hat sink lower over her face, crossing her arms and leaning her hip against her bike. she didnt wear one of the ridiculas black dress's she normaly did when near the others, instead chooseing low rise hip huggers and a cut off tank top. both were still black of course, along with her black cowboy hat she wore. she liked the color black. glanceing at the man Bain gestured to she felt her lips twitch, not hideing an amused grin. " he's cute, but think its wise to involve him in something like this?"

muttering under her breath she relaxed, knowing it wouldnt do any good to try and leave. her leg had been cut up from a fight, broken glass tearing into her skin and leaveing painful cuts. of course it wasnt her fault.. the others hadnt given her much choice in being tossed into the window. it hurt to walk, though she ignored it. glanceing again at the vampire she laughed softly, moveing her hat into place again. " of course, all the good ones are either gay, taken, or vampires. never fails." flicking her tooth pick away she pulled out a stick of gum, needing something to keep her buisy as she waited for the wolf to come back out.

looking at him she didnt hide her amusesd smirk, simply crossing her arms and watching them with an intent gaze. debateing to herself she looked Viktor up and down, finaly saying in a soft tone. " hunting." seeing the conversation as done she straitened her back and droped her shoulders, takeing a proper air about her as she looked past Viktor to the door way. it was unsettleing to have a vampire concerned for her, and she didnt know exactly how to respond to it. usualy just saying she was a hunter scared them off. not that she ever hurt them.. unless they started it. she mused, shifting her leg carfuly against the motorcyle. it left a smear of blood along the black paint and she stiffened slightly. curseing under her breath she sat astride her bike to keep the weight off her leg, trying to keep her voice low so the children wouldnt hear her words. children of any kind were still children, ment to be protected.

turning a steely gaze on Viktor she forgot to lower her hat again, her face visable as she made a sound somewhere between irritated and amused. shifting she tried to lean on her hurt leg, sinking her teeth into her lower lip to keep from swearing. clentching her fists she kept from rageing at him, grudgeingly admiting the truth to herself. she wasnt mad at this vampire Viktor.. she was mad at herself for getting hurt, and being too prideful to ask for or accept help. letting her shoulders drop she took a breath, trying to keep from snaping at him as she looked back to Viktor. in a softer, though no less distant, voice she said curtly. " i will have to decline. my job is very delicate and it would indanger you if i was to be caught in your home." turning her face away she wiped a bead of blood from her lip, haveing bit her lip too hard.
