Mara sighed, "It's nothing really, just a way to stay young for a long time." She looked down at her hand. "Should we resume our walk? We've been standing in the same area the whole time now." she said with a smile.

Zack grinned, "Oh, yeah! Sure." He said as he started walking slowly. "I, think I know what you are offering, but... there are things about me that prevent me from accepting. Its not that I'm not interested, its that I physically can't. If you were to do so, spirits would destroy my body." He said looking around. "I could go into more detail but... lets keep walking. I'm something called an 'avatar.'" He explained to her. "My body is that of a humans, but spirits grant me the ability change my form.... So I really want Lucius to teach me to stop aging. Maybe you could help me to convince him to?" He said, not being serious, but he was thinking it for some reason.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, "I'm sorry! I didn't know!" She felt awful about the suggestion now. She followed him silent for a moment before she spoke again. "I would do my best to help you talk to him, I am very interested in meeting him as well."

"Do you really want to meet him?" He asked. "He's at our apartment right now, probably grading papers, if you wanted to meet him." He suggested. "Its up to you. We could probably talk about more sensitive issues there, without worry of being overheard by the wrong ears." He said.

Mara nodded, "That would be wonderful, I would like to meet him, see if I can solve your riddle. It would also be a better place to talk, that is for sure. Is the apartment far away?" she asked Zack, not that it mattered, she was simply curious.

"Its not far. Only a few blocks back." He said with a smile. "I hadn't been walking very long when I bumped into you." He gave a small chuckle. "C'mon. Lets go. I'm sure that I could scare up something for you while your there. We always keep a few things around for out night guests." He said pleasantly to Mara.

He walked into the Church, cold and empty, though the chill was not in the air so much as coming from the core of his body.
He walked up and into his brothers office on the left.
"Ah Vincent how are you?" he hadn't seen Vincent since the funeral a few months earlier.
"Well I'm alive, though it doesn't feel like it" he tried to laugh but faltered and slipped into a disturbing chuckle. "Allan I need to ask you something...."
"What is it?" he could see the look of suffering on his brothers face, it worried him deeply
"I feel myself changing, and no its not just what happened to Helen, its something else, I feel myself growing colder, when I walk outside the sun makes me nauseous and I come home with a headache." He paces back and fourth worriedly "Its like something inside my body is changing, maybe I'm just upset about the case going nowhere, or losing my job, I just don't know." he shrugs and sighs deeply, leans against the wall to the left of the door and falls slowly to the ground in a hunch and covers his face with his hands thinking in the back of his mind when takes his hands off his eyes everything will be normal again.
Alan made no attempt hide his concern for his brother, he had some idea of what was happening and shuddered at the thought, he knew Vincent needed answers but had been through so much it would take time to accept. "I know a man by the name of Lucius Morgavi, he may be able to help you." Allan wrote down directions to the mans house on the back of a bake sale flier. "I hope you find the answers you need" He hands Vincent the directions and a silver cross.
"Thank you Allan" he takes the paper wondering what his brother knew that he didn't, he walked out of the office.
"Vincent wait" Allan had one last thing to say "may god watch over you my brother."
"If he did I'd wonder why he didn't watch over Helen" Vincent left and that was it.

"Do you have night guests often?" Mara asked smiling. "I'll follow, I don't know where you live. Well it be alright that you cut your walk short?" She asked him.

"Not often. But we get enough that its best to be prepared." He said to Mara as he led her to his apartment building. "And don't worry about it. There are always other times I can walk." Zack smiled casually as he made his way down the sidewalk.
When they finally arrived at the building, Zack used his key to unlock the door and held it open for Mara. "You wanna take the elevator or the stairs?" He asked.

Mara nodded, "Oh I'm not worried in the least." She laughed, "I've met many different people in the darkest of alleys."
Mara stepped inside, "Thank you." she said to him as he held the door for her. "Um either one, you choose. We could race," she said joking.

"Tempting, but the only way I could keep up would be if I used one of my transformations... last time that happened, too many people saw me. Lucius had to... uh... modify all of their memories." He said. "Lets take the elevator, I'm not in a hurry." He said as he went to the elevator. and pressed the button for his floor. "Its nice to have someone different to talk to for a change. I haven't been able to meet many others." He said.

"That's very nice of you to say." Mara said joining him in the elevator. "Does Lucius keep you locked in here?" Mara asked suddenly concerned for him.

Zack laughed. "No, no. I'm just really busy practicing." He said, "And well... I guess I can't really relate to normal humans. Most of them wouldn't understand the half of it. I think thats more of the reason." He said. "And most of the non-humans I meet, are those who are seeking Lucius for advise in magic, or some bit of historical information." He said to Mara as the elevator started to go up. "Sorry if you misinterpreted, I could have said that more clearly."

"No worries, I'm still learning about you. As long as the point gets across then we're good." She said smiling. "Practicing, what do you practice? Is that something you would want help with?" Mara asked, "If you are looking for help, or even a friend, the you can cal me." she told him smiling.

"Oh, I practice my magic of course." He said. "And I also do a bit of reading, maybe listen to music." He smiled at Mara. "And thanks. It means a lot that your willing to be a friend, even if I'm human. If your interested in learning some magic, I'm sure that Lucius, or even I could teach you a few things." The door opened as the elevator reached the appointed floor. Zack moved toward the door to the apartment and unlocked the door. He opened the door and waved Mara in with a smile.
"Who did you bring?" Lucius called out, with a hint of playful and harmless mischief in his voice.
Zack looked at the floor above exasperated. "Could you at least pretend to not notice and be surprised?" He said. "Why don't you come on down and meet her?" He shot back up. "Don't worry, he only does it to me." He said to Mara with a smile.
"Give me a moment and I will!" Lucius replied.
