Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If you couldn't hear them I would've wondered how you became a hunter." Elona simply replied. Was he really underestimating her like that? If she really wanted to follow stealthily she would've done a much better job and stuck to the shadows instead of just following out in the open. "Just call me Elona. You and that wolf would prefer to be called..?" She looked, with a slight hint of curiosity, at the wolf. She didn't bother stating her last name as she saw no real reason to.

I was right, he's underestimating me. Elona thought. Her expression became equally focused and serious as she replied. "I didn't become a vampire hunter for fun and games. If I couldn't handle myself, I wouldn't be standing before you. I'd have been long dead." Really, she hated the stereotypes that went around the world. In her opinion, chivalry was dead. "And don't worry, I'd never expect someone to aid me in any way." It's pull your own weight, or don't pull it at all. She thought.

"Lack of food? Why then would anyone under take such an establishment if they cannot provide for the occupants?" Solomon frowned at the mortal as though she was the culprit in question. "Very well then, you will lead me to this orphanage of yours. I would like to have a word with whoever is in authority." He folded his hands in his pockets and raised an eyebrow, expecting her to lead the way.

Solomon followed the mortal a few paces and then stopped, realizing just how far spent the night already was and how little time he had to spend abroad the streets. He would have to hasten the process a bit and making that decision, he held her back. "I have a faster means of travel than walking and I'm afraid circumstances have impressed upon me the need to employ this means. However, I'd like to resolve this situation as soon as possible and seeing as you alone know the location of this orphanage you'll have to bear with me." He paused and held up a hand in anticipation of her reluctance, "Don't worry, your safety is as assured as that of the child you carry."

Solomon nodded once iin understanding and took a slow step closer. He appreciated the amount of courage it must have taken the mortal to comply with his wishes and made a mental note to remember her face and not mistakenly eat her in the future. He gently took her hands and gave them a reassuring squeeze even as they all began dissolving into mist and shadow. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe. His words came out as a faint whisper as the wind picked up and they rose into the air, flying through the darkness fasteer than the eye could see. Tell me where
((no problem))

Soon they reached their destination and Solomon gathered himself, triggering their slow descent back to the streets. The formless mass of shadows soon began coalescing into definable shapes and within seconds, all three of them were present and accounted for, standing in front of the orphanage gates. He turned slightly around and cast an inquiring glance at his guide,"Will you go in or shall I make myself known?"

"Ah I do beg your pardon, Solomon at your service," He gave a mock bow and stepped away from the gate, allowing her to move forward and open it. Solomon glanced at the sleeping child and smiled faintly.
