Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rafael walked along the cobblestone streets of the small town, for which he knew not the name. He was new to the town, but he would assume that the cuisine was fine and delectable. He was the only one that walked in the middle of the street. Or the only one who dared anyway. Ladies would walk to the sides far from him, but could feel his radient and elegant energy that emersed from him everplace he stepped. They swooned at the sight of his meer shadow and praised him like a god for his beauty. The man scowled as they passed him, scorning him for the way the women reacted to him.

He payed no attention to their faces, nor their reactions to his pressence. He slowly trudged on through the damp road, his boots clicking with each step. His black cloth trench coat waved behind his legs, with only his hands in his pockets to keep them uncontrol from the wind and movement. His trousers were not that of the normal man's back in these days. His were pure black and expanded enough for them to bounce off his legs. Underneath his coat, the white frill of his V-neck collar flowed like his coat, but with more control. The shirt only showed off his pale chest, very different from the original run of the mill men's dressing. Farther up his outfit, his coat collar was pulled up to cover the side of his neck. His black, wet like, gelled hair did not move with the rest of his body, it stood sticking up in little organized spikes. This style was unheard of and no one dared to try to make it popular. His eyes darted from every alley, to every stand and post, every little nook and cranny that normal humans would never really notice this time of night and in this prepetual darkness that surrounded them.

Rafael left something touch him, and looked over to the woman who stood near him with his feirce eyes. For the moment, his attention was fixed only on this girl. She was mortal, but it didn't seem to matter. Before she ran, he quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks, without him even budgeing. "Watch where you're going. You could get yourself into trouble that way. If you bump into the wrong person." he said, half way between a whisper and a mumble. He looked at her face more clearly now and gave a friendly half smile, without showing his fangs, knowing that would terrify her even more.

Rafael looked at his hand that was holding her, but quckly released. He realized that this woman would not be easy. "I enjoy the dark. It helps to clear my mind. Making it easier for me to think. I should ask the same thing, but I can see you are in a hurry to get somewhere. So, without a name given, I shall say, Adeu" and he bowed like a gentlemen, then slowly began to walk away from her, but soundlessly counting the seconds till she said stop or wait.

Rafael watched her leave, then saw her destination. He figured it was time for a new place anyway. With movement too fast for her or any other human could see, he followed her in teh shadows, watching. Her name ringed in his head as he watched her.

((Is she getting on the ship now?))

Just seconds before the ship took off from port, Rafael boarded with no ticket. He quickly scanned the ship and found Tiffe. He read her thoughts and smirked at himself. With soundless and quickl presicion, he appeared beside her on the railing, leaning his forearms on the railing, looking at the same town he arrived in just a few moments ago. "See who again?" he asked, with a smirk on his face.

Rafael laughed at her reaction and looked over at her with a smile, showing his sharp fangs glistening in the moonlight. "You said we would meet again and I wanted you to be a woman of your word." he heard her thoughts, but didn't answer them. He turned around to lean his back against the railing with only his hands keeping him from falling over. He heard her think about his chest so made sure his trench coat edges would fall back against the rails to let more of his body show. He smirked and covered his teeth again. "And I was planning on leaving anyways, just didn't know where the docks were. I did somewhat watch you and saw the docks so boarded before you." he saw the disbelief in her eyes. "Short cut."

Rafael couldn't help but smile and chuckle a bit at her thoughts. "I walk fast. My name is Rafael Andre and I'm here to sail away. I got tired of this town already. Nothing fun to do. So I decided to leave. Didn't I just tell you this?" he asked, rasing a eyebrow and smirked at her. He watched her carefully. Her thoughts didn't equal her actions at all. But he could tell she was nervous by her heartbeat. It was racing just a bit faster then her normal rate which was slower. He looked up at the sails which were now full of wind and back out over the town they were leaving. "What are you doing on this boat?" he asked, already knowing, but wanting to ask anyway. He looked back at her, his eyes half shut and examining her carefully once more. His mouth set to his charming smile.
