 You make it up as you go along.
Why pretend that you're something that you're not?
I believe in you and always will,
Ever since you told me you're for real. { { υиҬσυҀнαβɭє } } Inside, emotional mood swings soon collide.
Now gather up all your tenacity.
Take my hand 'cause I'm settin' you free! Who cares who's there to stare
And tell you how to look?
I'm not even sure they know you by name. Helorah inclined her head back a bit, watching him with mild disinterest as she crossed her long legs and propped herself to lean back on the counter top. With a lazy arm, she tossed the pasta back to him and watched his little power display. The corner of her lips twitched upward in the bare hint of a smirk.
"Always with theatrics... Nothing like a lovely little opportunity to be a show-off, hmm?"
She rolled her eyes and raised a hand to brush strands of purple hair behind her ear. Her nose twitched delicately, and now, Hel raised an eyebrow of curiosity.
"Garlic? Time for Mythbusters..."

((Yay! I missededededed you!!!!!))
Nikolai smirked at her Myth Busters comment, sprinkling a little garlic salt in his hand and tossing it in his mouth to prove a point. That... really wasn't a smart move... A tiny bit would taste good for a second, but he was hypersensitive. Not smart. One eye half-closed and he grimaced, opening and closing his mouth in an attempt to rid himself of the strength of the taste and smell.
"Okay, well, my point was, it doesn't bother me, unless I'm stupid with it."
As the water reached a boil, he grabbed a couple of handfuls of pasta and dropped it in.
"By the way..," he purred, "I now have Blood Claim over you, to add to everything else."

I'm not even sure they know you by name. "Smooth..." Helorah laughed, rolling her eyes at his failed attempt. "See? That's what you get for repeatedly trying to show off."
One side of her lips curled up in a sneer, but she shook it off quickly, sliding off of the counter and down onto the floor. She wasn't one to sit still for long, after all. Idly, she spun her thick violet hair up around her shoulders and out of her way, glancing back up as he spoke again-- and not under stupid circumstances this time.
His statement evoked merely a raised eyebrow from Helorah. "I'm hardly one to respect racial rights against me. If I didn't know any better, I'd take that as a challenge." Her upturned lips bared just a hint of her sharp, white teeth beneath.
{{ Aw, I misseded joo too. ^_^ }}

Nikolai raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, it's good news, especially in terms of your safety. No one else is allowed to harm you, or even feed from you, unless I give the okay. Not because I fed from you, but because you drew blood."
He smirked and glanced over his shoulder to gesture toward his back. They had healed long before, but he figured she'd know what he was talking about.
"Blood Claim is one of the few laws we actually uphold. Be thankful."

I'm not even sure they know you by name. "Yeah... Nasty little habit of mine," she laughed, the sound more akin to a purr as Helorah raised a hand to inspect her nails idly. The sharp length of them had long since receded, but some of them were still painted with tiny flecks of blood. Her grin grew wider, and she had a thought.
"So what if someone does try to hurt me or bite me or whatever?"

"They'll probably smell me on you and know they need to skedaddle. If not... I kill them. No repercussions."
His smirk darkened a bit, a glistening fang exposed. "It also means that I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can intervene."

I'm not even sure they know you by name. "Now that's a bit circumstantial, don't you think? What if you're not around?" Hel pressed, always one to find a loophole, even if there didn't need to be one. The second half of his statement, however, pulled back the need to challenge.
"Unless, of course, I'm the one intervening... And I daresay I'm more than a match for you." Her pursed lips turned upwards at the corners, smirking.

"s**t, then whistle or something. It's not that big a deal. And who said I'm leaving you alone?"
He grinned and quirked an eyebrow. "Really. I think I know your weakness. Don't get cocky, or I might have to show you what you're actually dealing with."

I'm not even sure they know you by name. "I'm the cocky one?" Helorah asked, matching his expression. "You seem to be labouring under the delusion that I would need your help to defend me against attack in the first place, which is not the case-- vampire or none."
The faerie tossed her head back and laughed, a chiming sound so cold that someone could have shattered glass on the floor and it would have sounded the same. Her finger twirled idly, and from a vein just beneath her palm, a tiny vine pulsed forward, thin and timid and green but healthy and vibrant. It danced over her skin, its leaves tangling with her fingers. Her eyes, when she looked back at him, were encircled with a deep forest green before they splashed back into their vibrant violet.
"We have much, fortunately or unfortunately, in common, but we are very, very different. You think you can read me so quickly as to come up with a weakness?"

Nikolai had the right to be cocky. It wasn't smart, but he could do it, given the circumstances.
His ebony eyes shown with amusement at her display. He had to admit, it was intriguing, and kind of impressive. That was something he couldn't do.
As for a weakness... In an instant, he was behind her. Nikolai lowered his lips to her throat, a glistening fang dancing across her skin, comparably to the vine. He gently dragged it up her nape, just enough to tickle.
After a moment, he spoke, hot breath on her ear. "I've no doubt you can defend yourself. I merely said I don't plan on leaving you alone."

I'm not even sure they know you by name. Uh-oh... Helorah most certainly did not like that look in his eyes, and the first sign of nearly untraceable he made made her flinch before he reappeared behind her. Okay, so it had an effect of sorts, the instant he put his lips to her throat, but as she was more aware of herself and her situation, the sensation also had a way of making her skin crawl.
"Okay, okay!" she admitted, pushing him off. "That's really kind of creepy outside of the moment..." Her empty hand reached up to rub the side of her neck that had been touched, as though trying to scrub the feeling away-- to no avail. With an irritated roll of her eyes, she brought the one hand down and cupped her two together. She blew gently and the vine broke off just as it began to flower, and a shower of petals rained down from her hands.
Half-glaring over her shoulder, Hel looked at him again, frowning, and then she stuck out her tongue. "Whatever... You'll hardly want to be around me all the time after a while. Besides, it was just a circumstantial suggestion of possibility." She shrugged.

He grinned at her response. "Exactly. I'm a creepy old man. Get used to it."
Nikolai glanced toward the stove, the pasta had been boiling for a while. The vampire took the pot off the stove, opened a cabinet, grabbed a strainer, and strode toward the sink. He drained the noodles, then pulled out a bowl, pouring most of them into it. He placed the bowl on the counter nearest her, found some butter, salt, and Parmesan cheese, and set them down next to it.
"Bon appetit," he purred, stepping out of the kitchen.

I'm not even sure they know you by name. "Ugh, don't even get me started with wondering how old you might be..." Helorah groaned, and she twisted her face dispassionately. "We could end up somewhere near the gross end of the spectrum."
She crossed her arms over her chest and merely watched him, her bare feet tracing idle circles with the petals on the floor. He worked fast, she realized, and in a moments time had set out a full bowl of pasta and extras for her. Just as soon, he was walking out the door. She picked up the bowl between her two hands and weighed it mindlessly as she wondered where exactly he was going... which was funny, considering the conversation they'd just had. Her lip curled lightly in amusement, and she returned to her food, adding the proper amounts of butter, salt, and cheese.
Now she just needed to find a fork or something... Not that she really needed it.

Yup. He had walked out of the kitchen. He had the attention span of a goldfish on speed sometimes.
"Silverware is in the top left drawer in the peninsula," he called, making his way into the living room. Heh. Living room. She wasn't alone. If he was on the property, she wasn't alone.
Funny.. she still hadn't gotten the tour of the living rooms, pool area, etc. He sat down in one of the larger chairs, leaning back and crossing his ankles. For some reason, Nikolai really just needed to stretch out and relax. He was a little tense, though he had no idea why.

I'm not even sure they know you by name. Of course, when she thought it, he heard it.... Helorah shook her head with a sigh and stepped across the floor to the described drawer.
"This place is ******** insane," she yelled back with little heat in her voice. Of course, she was referring to its enormous size again, but it could have been taken in multiple different ways without having necessarily been wrong. With a few swift paces, she stood in front of the drawer and withdrew a fork, closing it sharply behind her with her hip.
Twirling the thin strands of pasta with the prongs of her fork, she mixed it all together thoroughly in the bowl while she paced, inspecting the kitchen more thoroughly. It, along with everything else in the damned place, was unnecessarily huge and looked sparsely used. Surprise. Hel propped herself up onto the counter again and continued looking while she ate, her heels tapping idly at the cupboards beneath her.
