[07:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <The sun set nearly two hours ago and the darkness only makes her even more lost than she already was. She spots a light in the distance and kicks her horse into a trot. When she arrives in the courtyard, she dismounts and ties the horse up, then, straightening her hair and robes, goes up to knock on the door. She looks tired and rather dusty from the road, but that hardly disguises her natural beauty. Her brown eyes are large, her skin creamy, and her long brown hair wavy. She has on simple robes - she's not a noble, but not a peasant either. The red sets off her lips, and she readies a smile for whoever answers the door>
[07:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((God, I love it that Agatha takes the time to spiff up and prettify before she goes to lecture Gil xD ))
[07:42] arynwyn: (( xD ))
[07:49] arynwyn: (( AFK  a min. Going to bedroom ))
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: <a young man - apparently not much older than she is - answers the door - clearly not a servant.  He's got pale skin, hazel eyes and an odd shade of strawberry-blonde hair - it goes to his shoulder blades, but of course, it's pulled back with a black silk ribbon.  He's clad in velvets and silks: white silk shirt, unbuttoned nearly down to his black velvet vest.  Black silk pants, but he's barefoot, and the clothes are...a little rumpled.  He's holding a glass of something alcoholic in one hand and he seems surprised...but he smiles> Ah...good evening?  <he has a thick accent, from the continent.  Russian maybe?  Or Eastern European.  Something near the Black Sea>  Is it the custom in this area for lovely young women to come visiting their neighbors?  Because if this is so, I'll have to buy this house immediately. 
[07:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry that took so long))
[07:52] arynwyn: (( is okay ))
[07:53] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <In very proper British, blushing> I'm sorry to be a bother, sir. I'm afraid I've lost my way. I don't suppose you could point me toward Eastbury? <she smiles sweetly>
[07:55] Chaos Angel Sox: <he considers this> I'm afraid I do not know this "Eastbury" you speak of.  I have only recently come to this area of your country.  But, the realtor has given me a map...if you wish to come in? <steps aside and holds door for her>
[07:56] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she hesitates, glancing back at her horse> I... Yes, please. Thank you. <she steps inside and pulls off her riding gloves. She looks around> This is a beautiful home you have, sir.
[08:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Thank you.  That you think so is another point in its favor.  But it is not yet mine.  I am...considering purchasing it and the realtor has agreed to let me stay here a few days to help me make the decision.  <he closes the door after her> Can I get you something to eat? or to drink? <he sort of addresses this question to her neck>
[08:00] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <crimson creeps up into her face again> Er, no thank you, sir. I am late as it is. I appreciate the offer though.
[08:01] Chaos Angel Sox: You have a...social engagement then?  <he pulls his eyes away and leads her towards the study>
[08:02] arynwyn: Elizabeth: A sick cousin, actually. My aunt asked me to visit her. <she follows him, glad his eyes are elsewhere>
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Ah.  My sympathies to your family.  And it occurs to me...<he finds a match and lights it, then applies it to a candle in the darkened study (the hallway was well lit)>...that my manners have not been what they should be.  <he turns from the candle and sweeps up her hand.  He looks into her eyes, smiling> I am Aron Tiranul.  My Father is the Duke of Tulcea, in Romania.  It is a very much pleasure to meet you. <and kisses the back of her hand as he bows, before straightening up and releasing her hand again, though he's still smiling at her>
[08:08] Chaos Angel Sox: ((baffoom!)
[08:09] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Ah. <she blushes harder> A Duke. <she curtsies deeply> I am but a humble woman of the Church of Christ. Elizabeth Reeves, at your service. <Yes, she means Nun>
[08:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <arches an eyebrow> You are...what is the term?...married to Christ?  <he picks up the candle>
[08:12] arynwyn: Elizabeth: In a way, I suppose. I don't prefer to use that term, myself. Honestly... <she looks around wistfully> I feel I am called elsewhere so I may not be at the convent much longer.
[08:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Ah.  <his smile, which had begun to falter, starts to return, hesitantly> Is it too much to feel you are called to spend time with a visiting Romanian nobleman? <he takes the candle up and crosses to the desk, lighting the candles on the candelabra>
[08:15] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she feels her stomach flop> Are you in need of a friend, my Lord?
[08:15] arynwyn: (( must poop! ))
[08:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((xD))
[08:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Of course.  Is there anyone who is not?  Moreover, I know very few people in this country, and none I could rightly call "friend".  Though I suppose asking you to show me around would not be ideal, as we have met because you had lost your way. <he points out, teasingly.  He shoots her a reassuring look> I am kidding with you, of course.  Though I am curious: is your cousin so ill that you must be out in the darkness.  Is it not dangerous?
[08:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes at his teasing> It is, yes. But my cousin is very ill and we fear for her life. My aunt wished me to come and put her at peace. I've been riding since I received her letter yesterday afternoon.
[08:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: That is unfortunate.  <he sorts through papers on his desk> Ah.  This is the map the realtor gave me.  <he pulls it out and puts it on top, near the candelabra so she can see it>
[08:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she studies the map> This is the manor? <points to where the house is> I've gone too far... <she sighs heavily>
[08:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is late. <he is still standing close to her> Perhaps it would be best to wait until the morning?  There are many bedrooms here.  <he eyes her neck again, then closes them to focus> And though I may be an unrepetant sinner, I promise to be on my best behavior with you here, Sister Elizabeth.
[08:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she rubs her forehead, not noticing his eyes on her again> You are too kind. <she smiles wearily> Are you sure I wouldn't be imposing on you?
[08:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Not at all.  You cannot impose when it is not even my house, hm?  <he opens his eyes again, and his gaze goes immediately to her throat again before he brushes some hair away from her neck without really thinking about it>
[08:34] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <scarlet again, she takes a step back> Perhaps not. There was an inn just an hour back.
[08:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <clears his throat> Forgive me.  It was...<tries on several different words in his mind and then settles with>...unconscionable.  I shall show you to a room and leave you alone...with your Lord.  My word is my bond, Sister.
[08:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <shifts uncomfortably but nods> I am too tired to go back. I will be gone before daybreak, do not worry.
[08:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: This way.  Oh, and please take the map, if you need it.  If you want, there are books...<he gestures to the bookcases along the walls>
[08:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she follows him, quiet and tired> Thank you, sir. Your kindness will not go unseen by the Lord.
[08:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I hope not.  I could use a few good marks.  <he picks up the single candle and walks out> This way.
[08:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <grows sleepier by the moment, and by the time they reach her room, she's all but sleepwalking> You're very kind. <she smiles lightly>
[08:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <notices her gradual descent into sleep> You are kinder to say so.  <he opens a door for her: the bedroom has a queen size bed, all made up.  Rich, luxurious bedclothes and furniture>
[08:47] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Thank you, sir. I will be gone before daybreak, as I said. <she gives another curtsy>
[08:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: This house will be the dimmer for it.  Sleep well, Sister.
[08:50] arynwyn: Elizabeth: G'night. <she closes the door and collapses on the bed, not bothering with undressing, nor remembering that her horse needs food and water. She's instantly asleep>
[08:54] arynwyn: (( puppy snores at you ))
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he goes to see to her horse himself then comes back inside.  He hesitates outside her door, licking his lips.  He even puts his hand on the knob at some point, then backs away with a heavy sigh>
 
 ((Hm.  There will be something outside her door when she wakes up, but he is going to behave himself))
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((:P to puppy))
[08:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He was torn, so so was I ))
[08:55] arynwyn: (( Aww. I wanted him to... :P ))
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<whistles> there is stuff outside her door...if she wanted to thank him, he'll be in the study...))
[08:56] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I has plan.  nooooooooooo worries))
[08:57] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she wakes an hour before dawn, getting about five hours of sleep. She's cramped and sore from sleeping so hard and riding so long, but she forces herself to rise. She opens the door and looks down at what he left for her>
[08:59] Chaos Angel Sox: <There's a tray with some bread, cheese and a bottle of wine (and a glass).  The map is there as well, with a handwritten note on it that says, "My apologies again, and good luck to your cousin."  Under the map, however, is a small suede purse filled with coin - more than enough for an excellent doctor and top-notch medicine>
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: <btw, the Master Bedroom is between her room and the study - if she passes it, the door is open and no one's in there.  But the door to the study is...mostly closed.  Cracked a bit>
[09:07] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <She reads the note and takes the food into her room to eat it hungrily. Hunger is the best spice, so they say. She tucks the map away and sighs at the coin. On one hand, she doesn't like taking a stranger's gold. On the other, she really doesn't want her cousin to die. She picks the bag up and starts down the hall, then stops at the study. She taps lightly>
[09:10] Chaos Angel Sox: <no answer, but the door swings open - Aron is sitting in the chair at the desk.  He's face down on the desk, paler even than he seemed last night.  It doesn't look like he's breathing and he's certainly not moving.  It looks less like he decided to sleep there and more like he...collapsed>
[09:11] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Sir Tiranul! <she rushes to his side, dropping the bag of gold. She shakes him gently, trying to rouse him>
[09:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <groans lightly and stirs.  He opens his eyes just a little, sort of groggily, and then leans in and up quickly, almost faster than she can see, and sinks his fings into her neck.  His arms wrap around her in a sort of tender inflexibility - he clearly doesn't want to let her go as he drinks her blood in like a man dying of thirst>
[09:16] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she gasps in shock and struggles to free herself, but weakens as he draws life from her. Her knees give out and she sinks against him, white pinpricks of light dotting her vision>
[09:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Did you want her vampirized or just OMGWTFed? xD 'cause I was planning on having him stop while she's still well able to live from it))
[09:18] arynwyn: (( Uhm, well... That might just scare her away. >.>;; ))
[09:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((drink until she's unconscious mebbe? and she doesn't wake up until after dark, and he's right there?))
[09:18] arynwyn: (( Sure ))
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <drinks deeply and well, coming back to himself as he does so>
[09:20] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <with a soft moan, she falls unconscious>
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <realizes, as she passes out, what Exactly he's doing.  He pulls out, panicked> Oh God... <he picks her up and carries her back to the bedroom she was in.  He brushes the hair out of her face> ...Sister?  <he rips off part of his sleeve to tend to her wound
[09:23] Chaos Angel Sox: >
[09:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's pale and clammy, unmoving, her breathing ragged>
[09:24] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060213)(Link: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060213)http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060213  I <3 the full shot of Gil there, with the sword. <ahem> I'm okay, really))

 ((Shall we FF to her wakey wakey?))
[09:26] arynwyn: (( Yep ))

 Aron: <he's in a chair by her bed, same outfit, the vest unbuttoned now and of course, the sleeve ripped up.  He has a tray of more bread & cheese and wine ready for her> Eat.  You need your strength.
[09:30] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she struggles to sit up, a look of terror on her face> Stay away! 
[09:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I am so sorry.  I...I should've fed.  I was weak, and I wasn't really...aware of what I was doing.  It was never my intention to cause you harm, Sister.  I feel terrible.  I have arranged for a very good doctor I know to see to your cousin.  It is all my fault.
[09:34] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <her hand goes to her neck> What are you? Some sort of demon? God help me...
[09:34] arynwyn: (( I need food. ))
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((eat!))
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((foods important!))
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I am the heir to the Duke of Tulcea, as I said.  And I also am...vampyr?  Do you have this word?  I do not know it.  Father chose me special for this; it is considered a great gift, but like all power it comes with certain...down sides.
[09:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: ...vampire? You're... a vampire? <horrified> And now I am too! I am damned for eternity!
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No, no.  Lovely sister, you are still among the living.  I....it was very close.  For a while I worried.  But....you are hungry, yes?  And would rather have cheese than blood, hm?
[09:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: No! Keep your wretched food away. <she stumbles out of bed> I must be away while I am still alive, if what you say is true. <her knees give way>
[09:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he appears at her side> You're in no shape for it.  I will feed elsewhere tonight. <he picks her up> The food is not drugged or poisoned.  You are not fit to be fed on and even if you were....it is unconscionable.  My Father would thrash me within an inch of my life if he were to find out I had taken blood from you against your will.  It is...unpardonable.  To us it is...it is...how do you say? incalcare...ah...violation.  I must do all that I can to make it up to you. <notice he's not, y'know, putting her down or taking her to bed or anything>
[09:47] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she doesn't squirm; she doesn't have the energy> Please don't kill me...
[09:48] arynwyn: (( I need the sleeps ))
[09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is not my intention, lovely Sister.

 [09:48] arynwyn: (( I need the sleeps ))
 [09:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is not my intention, lovely Sister.
[10:10] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Then what *is* your intention? <she studies him warily>
[10:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: My...intention is to do whatever you require of me.  To make up for this...I know it is unforgiveable. <he sets her down on the bed and kneels on the floor before her, eyes imploring> I would take a Blood Oath with you if I thought you would want to do such a thing, but I will do whatever you wish of me, until you say all is well.  I have already sent a doctor on to your cousin.  I could get you there tonight, in no time, if you still wish to see her.
 
 ((And voila!  Willing vampire slave boy. :3 ))
[10:13] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[10:13] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she hesitates, unsure what to make of him> You're supposed to be... evil, not kind.
[10:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he sighs in frustration> I...do not know how it is here in your country.  In Tulcea, we are not considered this way.
[10:16] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Forgive me, that was rude. I just... I'm so confused! <she rubs her hands over her face> Might I have some water?
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Of course.  Sit, rest.  Eat if you like.  I will get it for you.  <he seems to disappear out the open bedroom door, but returns with a glass of clear water in a minute, not even breathing heavily.  Just *poof!* gone, *poof!* back with water.  He offers the goblet to her with an uneasy "See, I'm friendly!" smile>
[10:19] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Thank you. <she drinks deeply, closing her eyes, trying to think though the cobwebs in her head> You drink human blood, but... not against their will?
[10:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No, no, never that.  <he sits back down in the chair next to the bed - RIGHT next to the bed, the way a doctor or family member watches over someone ill> The townfolk give us their blood.  Willingly, or we don't take it.  In turn, we watch over the town.  They still pay taxes, of course, but that is all to help the defense of the town.  <he beams proudly> We have lowest taxes for our peasants in all of Romania.  Everyone is very happy.  The port helps; we are on the Danube Delta, and our harbor has been important since the ancient times.
[10:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <can't help but look surprised and impressed> I see. I'm afraid England views vampires as murderous monsters. You might want to keep what you are to yourself. <she drinks more water>
[10:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Yes, well that was my intention.  <he sighs> I should never have let my stewards stay in London, but...they needed the break.  I will likely have to find new stewards soon, but to keep them would be...heartless.  <he waves a hand in a dismissive gesture> It is all my fault.  I should've gone hunting, found some game to feed on instead of you.  I was weak and foolish, and I do not know how to make things right with you, foarte frumos.
[10:27] arynwyn: Elizabeth: What is that? Fo...fo... what you said. 
[10:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <smiles and reaches over to lift her chin with one hand so he can see her face better in the single candle's light> It is how we say "beautiful" in my tongue.  Well, one of the ways; perhaps you prefer magnific? 
[10:33] arynwyn: (( Sorry. Tim is resting before he has to go to work and he required snugglings. ))
[10:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Awww <3 ))
[10:34] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she turns crimson> I am no such thing, my Lord. <but the corners of her mouth betray that she is happy with the compliment>
[10:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: What is that saying...ah..."Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."?  <he withdraws his hand with some reluctance> My eye beholds beauty.  I'm sure God's does as well.  ...<hesitates>...I confess I am curious about something you said last night, but it is not my place to pry.  Certainly not after what I have done to you.
[10:38] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she seems to be relaxing, bit by bit> You are free to ask, though I withhold the right not to answer. <light smile>
[10:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Thank you.  You are as kind as you are lovely.  My question is...you had said that you felt you might leave the convent.  That you were...perhaps called elsewhere.  Where is this "elsewhere"?
[10:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she looks down at her hands> I am not sure, to be honest. But things have not been going well for me at the convent. I have seen Sisters sin and not repent, seen our Father engage in... unholy acts. My faith is strong but I do not feel the convent is the place for me.
[10:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Have they hurt you? <he looks concerned>
[10:43] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Oh, no. Nothing like that. <she smiles reassuringly> I should not judge them, that is God's duty, but I don't feel needed there, or wanted, so I think it is time I move on.
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: And where will you go then?
[10:45] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she shrugs> I haven't decided yet. I have few options. I will probably live with my aunt or my cousin for a while.
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <his eyes light up for a moment, and then he reins himself in> No, I have no right to ask something like that...<he looks around> Is there something else you need or want, magnific?  I can take you to your cousin; we could be there within the hour.  Or...whatever you wish.
[10:48] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Yes, I need to get going. <she stands again, her knees wobbly> Thank you for your hospitality, my Lord.
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <stands as well> Please, eat something before we leave.  You are weak.  I...it is twice the crime, to have not only taken blood from you against your will but to have taken so much.  You will do your cousin no good if you collapse as soon as we arrive.
[10:50] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods after a moment> You're right. <she sits on the edge of the bed, grateful to be off her feet>
 
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he nods> I should bathe and change clothes.  You eat; I will not be long, I promise.
[10:52] Chaos Angel Sox: ((HAAAAAAAAAAAATE commercial))
[10:53] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and takes up the food he brought her, nibbling at it cautiously, still afraid of him and what he might do>
[10:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <*poof!* He's gone.  The food is good, the same she had earlier: artisan bread, very tasty cheese.  There's a bottle of wine as well, and another goblet waiting to be filled.>
[10:56] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <still thirsty after the water, she pours herself a glass of wine and drinks as she eats, feeling guilty for indulging>
[11:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <It is very good wine, the perfect accompaniment to the cheese and bread.  About ten minutes after he poofs, he's seen wandering past her door, looking for something and muttering to himself: his hair is wet, loose, and falls into his eyes.  He's shirtless which shows off more muscles than a nobleman would be expected to have, as well as some old scars on his chest and shoulders, up near his heart.  He's in brown linen pants, still barefoot - looks like he might be trying to play down his nobility some>
[11:00] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <feeling strengthened by the food, she stands up and heads for the door, peering out at him> Are you alright?
[11:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <turns to her> Ah, I am trying to find the rest of my clothes.  The realtor's man brought in my suitcase...I don't know in blazes he put it...pardon my language.
[11:03] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I can help you look. <she follows him down the hall>
[11:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Thank you.  I do not think you want your family to see me like this....and I'm sure it would make you uncomfortable on the trip there. <he ducks into a bedroom and pokes around>
[11:04] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she goes into the room opposite him and searches for a suitcase>
[11:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <no suitcase there; he makes a frustrated noise and stalks into another bedroom, on the same side of the hallway; there's one more next to the on Elizabeth's in>
[11:05] Chaos Angel Sox: ((*one))
[11:05] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she goes to the next room and searches there>
[11:06] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <there's a suitcase there on the bed.  It's the bedroom closest to the staircase; apparently the realtor's man was lazy.  It's an antique suitcase but still in excellent shape>
[11:07] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sticks her head out the door> I found it. <goes to pick it up but is still too weak>
[11:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <is at her side in a second> Lazy man.  If he worked for me...<he shakes his head> Thank you, magnific; please rest.  I'll be dressed shortly and then we can go. <he smiles at her and opens the suitcase: most of his clothing is of the same rich quality as what he was wearing; he pulls out a thin strip of leather and starts tying his hair back.  He has a few other scars on him, but none of the scope and size as the ones - three of them, actually, in a row - on his left shoulder & chest>
[11:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I should go to the bank and get lunch soon...))
[11:10] arynwyn: (( okee ))
[11:10] arynwyn: (( Now? Or soon? ))
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Gotta finish getting dressed...time for another coupla posts ))
[11:11] arynwyn: (( okee ))
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Unless you think you're gonna sleep soon, in which case I hang out))
[11:11] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she watches him put his hair up, then lets her eyes fall to the scars on his chest. She starts to reach out to touch them, then blushes deeply> What are those from? If I may ask.
[11:12] arynwyn: (( Yeah, probably. Getting a little @__@ ))
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kay then I wait))
 
 Aron: Hm? <looks down at himself> Oh, remnants of my last life.  These? <he indicates the ones on his chest> I was attacked by a wolf.  My Father saved my life with a Blood Oath - of course he wasn't my Father then, but that was the Oath we made.  He had been considering me as his Heir, and feared losing me, so we made the Oath, and a week later, I became his Son.  <he was smiling this whole time but it fades a little now as his eyes gaze off into the past>
[11:17] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <studies his face> It must be nice to have someone watch over you and protect you like that. 
[11:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <his expression doesn't change> Yes.  Well, that is a parent's job, hm? <he snaps out of it and his smile recharges> You should be resting.  <he digs through the suitcase trying to find a suitable shirt> Though the trip over will not be...uncomfortable for you.  Or long.  I will have you there so quickly...you will not believe.
[11:19] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sits down on the bed the suitcase is on> How long have you been a vampire?
[11:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Not long.  Almost 50 years.  Ah...this one! <pulls out a simple, undyed cloth shirt and pulls it on, messing with the laces and tucking it in and such>
[11:21] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <goes a little wide-eyed> Fifty years? You look no older than me.
[11:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: That is the gift, yes?  I was....made Heir very young.  Because of the attack.  The Oath fixed me, there was no danger of my dying, but...my Father worried that I would encounter more harm.  He was not himself made Heir of his Father until he had lived nearly 50 mortal years.  And it was...centuries before he chose me as his Heir.  I was...19, I think?  It has been awhile. <he finds socks and boots and sits next to her to start pulling them on>
[11:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she just stares at him for a few minutes> It goes against everything I was ever taught. If ever I needed a sign to leave the convent, surely this is it.
[11:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <chuckles> I am your sign to leave your service to God?  That may be the most flattering thing anyone has ever said to me, that they would leave God because of me.
[11:28] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <blushes deeply> According to God, you do not exist! Yet here you sit before me... Unless I have gone mad. 
[11:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: If that is the case, I hope you are enjoying your delusion.  <he stands and looks at her> Are you ready to go?
[11:30] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and stands as well> Are we going by carriage?
[11:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: By foot.  If you'll permit me, I'll carry you.
[11:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: By foot? It will take us all night to get there by foot! <confused>
[11:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It would take You all night, beautiful Sister.  It will not take me an hour.  <he picks her up and holds her carefully>
[11:33] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she wraps her arms around his neck tightly> I... alright. <the feeling of being so close to a man, and his clean scent, make her dizzy with desire> 
[11:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I promise, you are safe.  Do not fear.  But try to keep your mouth shut; you might get bugs in them.  <and ZOOM!  He moves at such speed as a medieval nun would never have known, out into the night>
[11:35] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <gasps and clings to him tightly, fighting the fear in her stomach>
[11:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <says, just loud enough for her to hear> Nothing will happen to you.  I swear it.
[11:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <manages to nod, then focuses on breathing>
[11:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <it takes them about half an hour to get to Eastbury, he slows down and stops just outside the town limits> We should not be seen traveling at such speeds in the town, hm?  Besides, I do not know which house is your cousin's.  <he smiles and sets her down, then works on smoothing her hair>
[11:40] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she straightens her dress, looking rather pale and wide-eyed> Yes, right. <clears her throat as she looks at him in amazement>
[11:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Are you well?
[11:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I - I think so, yes. <faint smile> Thank you for the... the help.
[11:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You are welcome.  I can wait at the...how do you say...the public house until you are ready to go back.  Your horse and gear are still at the house, after all.  If it is days, weeks, even, I will wait there for you. <he smiles, then looks to the sky suddenly> Dawn is not far off.  I must go there directly, and pray for strong curtains.
[11:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> The inn is just down the street, there. <she points at a small building> You do not need to wait for me. I understand that you are a busy man and have much to do. 
[11:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I am...taking my leisure in your beautiful country.  And...I have committed such terrible crimes against you.  No, no, I am to serve you until you are satisfied.  <he bows, lifts her hand and kisses the back of it again> I shall wait for you.
[11:46] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes and smiles> Very well. I will only be a couple of days.
[11:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Take your time. And if you have need for anything: more money, anything at all, do not hesitate to call upon me - after dark. <smiles and heads for the inn>
[11:48] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she watches him go, then turns and heads down another street to her cousin's house>
[11:48] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is good stopping place if you needs sleeps?
[11:48] arynwyn: (( Yeah. <nodnod> ))
[11:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee.  <huggles> I work four hours tonight, but I should be on Pidgin/AIM during that time))
[11:49] arynwyn: (( Are you sleeping when you get back from errands? ))
[11:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Um....mebbe? If I'm tired. >.> ))
[11:49] arynwyn: (( kk. If I can't sleep, I'll poke at you. ))
[11:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((okee! do you like Aron?))
[11:50] arynwyn: (( oooh yes :3 ))
[11:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he's a sweetie. <3  ANYWAY!  monies and foods ))
[11:50] arynwyn: (( okee. I try to sleep ))
[11:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((good luck! :D ))
[11:50] arynwyn: (( <3 ))
[12:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((back if you ever are))

[17:09] Chaos Angel Sox: <pets>
[17:10] arynwyn: What's up?
[17:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Tried to sleep and couldn't.  Have...plans for Aron. <evil grin>  Need caffeine.  How're you? :3
[17:11] arynwyn: <laugh> I'm good. Didn't really sleep, but dozed. Enough that I'm mostly awake now.
[17:11] Chaos Angel Sox: So, um....<bats eyelashes> I have an RP-related qvestion.... <big smile>
[17:12] arynwyn: Whassat?
[17:12] Chaos Angel Sox: what's her cousin sick with?
[17:12] arynwyn: uh
[17:12] arynwyn: >.>
[17:12] arynwyn: uhm
[17:12] arynwyn: <.<
[17:13] Chaos Angel Sox: I has an ideeeeaaaa
[17:13] arynwyn: why? I can make it whatever, if you have something in mind. :3
[17:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Wellllllllllll, what if she's being slowly drained by some vampire every night?  More the sort of vampire that Elizabeth has been told of, instead of Aron?  I had this big production number sort of thing in my head while I was trying to sleep...
[17:14] arynwyn: Oooooh :3
[17:14] Chaos Angel Sox: wants hear? :3
[17:14] arynwyn: Yes!
[17:21] Chaos Angel Sox: SO!  Elizabeth gets there and her cousin's all pale and tragic and they can't figure out what's wrong.  But the doctor that Aron had shipped in figures it out tout suite (or however it's spelled - quickly, he figures it out quickly) and goes to tell Aron his suspicion that a vampire's draining her - which frankly shocks the hell out of Aron.  Just as Elizabeth has been told her whole life that vampires are EVIL DEMON CREATURES FROM HELL, so Aron has never known anything but the symbiotic relationship that the villagers in his province have with his Father (read: Sire).  So of course, this being a case of some terrible evil honorless dog taking blood from an unwilling victim, he determines to ride into the rescue.
 He gets there early the next night - just in time to see the Big Nasty Vampire feeding on the cousin again.  He raises the alarm, Elizabeth and her aunt burst in, everyone's agasp, the BNV is chased off by Aron...but it's too late.  When he and the doctor examine the cousin, she's found to be very weak - on death's door.  
 Elizabeth asks if there's anything the doctor can do - he looks at Aron and then says no.  So she asks Aron if there's something he can do, and he says there's nothing he's Allowed to do and leaves.  She storms after him, all angry because it seems like there's something he CAN do and WON'T and she's upset.  He lays it all out for her: even if her cousin and aunt consented to the Blood Oath (which is a procedure he still hasn't discussed in detail), she's too weak to survive it, and it might just turn her into a vampire herself.  The other option is that he just goes ahead and makes her a vamp - but he's not Allowed to.  So, yes, the only option left is to get a priest to read her last rites and start arranging the funeral.
 Other than that it was just Elizabeth peppering him with questions about the Blood Oath and why he's not Allowed to turn people and so on and so forth.
 
 However, THIS is only one of the two options I came up with....
[17:24] arynwyn: :3
[17:24] arynwyn: what's option number 2?
[17:27] Chaos Angel Sox: All the same beginning, except cousin is not weakened to the point of death.  The Blood Oath *can* save her - but that would entail telling cousin and aunt that Aron's a vampire, and he wants Elizabeth to be her cousin's proxy.  
 
 Long story short, without getting into the Blood Oath stuff right this second, he really really really really wants Elizabeth to be his new "steward" - technically "blood-steward": people who normally go around with him when he travels so he always has someone to feed on.  He mentioned at one point earlier (I believe) that he left his stewards in London this time, to let them have some time off, and that it was quite likely he'd need new ones soon.  He's aware, of course, that given the way things have gone so far, she's not real likely to WANT that job.  He brings it up as something he'd like to request of her during the Blood Oath, but follows it up with the fact that he still owes her for "violating" her so by taking her blood without her permission and he'll be happy enough if she just swears not to drive a stake through his heart.
[17:27] Chaos Angel Sox: also, Blood Oath will NOT turn cousin into a vampire.  so the whole "I'm not Allowed" thing doesn't even come up.
[17:28] arynwyn: what's a proxy?
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: replacement.  A proxy stands in place of someone who isn't able to be there themselves (or in this case to stand and take an oath for herself, since she (the cousin) is all weak and helpless).  Basically, the Oath is to help the cousin out, but it's Elizabeth who'll have to swear to...something.
[17:29] arynwyn: ah
[17:29] arynwyn: hold on please
[17:29] Chaos Angel Sox: haaaaaaaaaai <goes to procure caffeine>
[17:30] arynwyn: I vote the second scenario.
[17:32] Chaos Angel Sox: heheh - didja flip coin?
[17:32] arynwyn: Nope.
[17:32] Chaos Angel Sox: weighed the options for sexiness?
[17:32] arynwyn: Nope. I knew right away. Just talking to Tim a minute.
[17:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ah :3 
[17:33] arynwyn: Okay, so, where do we start?
[17:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  We could do the whole "doctor discovers is another vampire and suchlike" thing.  That's the LOGICAL starting point (at some point, Aron & Elizabeth are going to have to go deal with that BNV).  Or we could skip ahead to "she's weak and maybe dying what do we do?"
[17:36] arynwyn: Yeah, let's go there. 'cause it's just going to be Elizabeth all upset when she finds out what it is so...
[17:36] Chaos Angel Sox: and you wanna skip to the sexy parts.  I gotcha ;)
[17:36] arynwyn: :P
[17:38] Chaos Angel Sox: DO NOT DENY IT! <ahem> Anyway....we shall say that Aron has talked with the doctor and observed the girl's condition (and chased away BNV), and everyone is aflutter.
 
 Aron: <shifts uneasily> Ah....Sister Elizabeth, if I could...talk with you in private?  Just outside the room perhaps?  Dr. Kurtz can see to your cousin's comfort for a few moments, yes?
[17:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <pale and stressed, she nods and follows him outside the room, closing the door quietly behind her> Yes?
[17:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I...might have a way to save her, but...well, she would have to know what I am.  She and your aunt both, or else we'd have to make up some wild tale to explain her quick recovery.  But...it Would save her; she'd be herself again in no time.  And...I could be of better help to you in tracking down this...this...<he seems to be trying to translate curse words, and then realizing that, in Romanian or in English, they are not to be said in the presence of ladies, so he settles for>...honorless, son of a dog pig! <clears his throat, trying to rein his temper in>
[17:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Son-of-a-dog might be a better way to put it.  Not "dog pig". ))
[17:43] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[17:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: You could save her? <her eyes light up> How? My aunt wouldn't care what you are if you could save Katherine. Please, what can you do?
[17:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is the Blood Oath.  It would have to be her blood - it works better that way - but...she is too weak to swear.  You would have to take the Oath on her behalf.  It has been done before; it is how the Blood Oath swearing me to be my Father's Heir was done.  I was quite unconscious after being mauled, you see...
[17:49] arynwyn: (( Sorry, was saying bye to Tim ))
[17:49] Chaos Angel Sox: ((aww <3 ))
[17:49] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Anything. I'll do whatever you need. Just tell me what to do, what to swear, and I will.
[17:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <blinks> I...magnific, that is a temptation, to say you will swear to anything.  This is how the Oath works.  We get two goblets - they do not have to be large, in fact it is better for her, in her condition, if they are not.  I fill my goblet with my blood, we fill hers with her blood.  We pour goblets into a bowl so the bloods can mix, then pour the mix back into the goblets.  
 You lift your goblet, and you say what you are swearing to - this is usually something beneficial to the other person - me, in this case.  The Blood Oath does not have a binding effect but it is...it is Extremely Dishonorable not to keep one's end of the bargain.  I raise my goblet and swear as well to something that is beneficial to you.  Sometimes, small...<thinks of the word>...concessions are made, but this is generally something where everyone can benefit, yes?  We drink - though in this case, you give the blood to your cousin there, Katherine.  She will be better in no time; let her sleep, she should be good as just born - better, in fact.  For a week at least, she'll be stronger, faster than she was...though not so like I am.  But the healing is permanent.  She will be fine.  And I...will get some benefit as well. 
 So the question is...what do you want me to swear to you?  I cannot refuse you anything, after what I have done to you.
[17:56] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I cannot ask more of you than what you are already doing - helping my cousin. Though... <she rubs her forehead> perhaps you would help me hunt down the demon that did this to her?
[18:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles> I will gladly swear to that.  The cur...it is no wonder you think so badly of vampyr here, if that is how they are!  My Father would flay the flesh from his bones and throw him out to see the sunrise.  <he clears his throat> Forgive me, that is perhaps not the best topic of conversation at the moment.  I am glad to swear to that. 
 As for the question of what you are to swear to me...I...as much as I would adore to have you as one of my new stewards, I simply cannot ask it of you.  Not after I so thoughtlessly violated you like that. <shakes his head>  It is oprit.  
[18:01] arynwyn: Elizabeth: If that is what you wish, then I will accept. <she says it quickly, reassuringly> 
[18:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <blinks> ...are you...are you sure? <not quite daring to hope...yet>
[18:03] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she smiles lightly> I am finished serving the Church. I have nowhere to go. And I must admit a certain... curiosity. <she blushes> And if it means saving my cousin, then I will have no regrets.
[18:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles and puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder> I will be sure you do not regret this.  You go talk to your family, I will get the necessary items.
[18:04] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> Thank you. <she opens the door and steps back inside>
 
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <comes back up about 10 or so minutes later; he could've been up sooner, but he wanted to give them some time to deal with it; he's got the bowl, two small goblets and a knife> We should do this quickly; I do not know if that dog will be back for a second helping or not.  I hope he tries...<shoots a dark glare at the window> but I do not want to be in the middle of the Oath if he does.
[18:08] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's holding Katherine's hand, her aunt hovering in the corner, wide-eyed with fear. She stands up as he enters and goes to help him with the goblets> What should I do?
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <hands her the knife and one of the goblets> A slit on her arm - not her wrist, futher up, and across the arm, not along it <showing her with his finger on his arm>.  Doctor, be ready to stop the bleeding after we've got the goblet full; once the Oath is administered, it'll be all fixed up.  <The doc nods, and Aron bites into his arm viciously and holds it over the goblet>
[18:16] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she winces as she sees him do this, then turns to her cousin. She draws the knife carefully across the arm as he showed her, not too deep, but deep enough that blood flows freely. She takes a goblet and catches the blood in it>
[18:16] arynwyn: <her hands shaking>
[18:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <the doctor comes up and staunches the blood flow when the goblet's full enough.  Aron pours his goblet into the bowl and smiles encouragingly at Elizabeth> Pour it in here, then we'll refill the goblets, swear our Oaths and it will be well for her.  I promise.
[18:20] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she pours the blood into the bowl and tries to return the smile>
[18:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <pours the goblets full again from the bowl and holds his goblet up> I swear to help you hunt down the monster responsible for your Katherine's condition.  He will die for his crimes against your family.  By this blood I swear it.
[18:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <hesitates, unsure what to say> I swear to serve you as I would serve the Church, to be your steward until the time comes when you release me, and to do whatever you ask of me. <she looks up to make sure she said everything okay>
[18:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he nods> More than I could ever dare to ask.  Give her the blood, and make sure she drinks it all.  <he drains his goblet>
[18:27] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <turns and puts the goblet to Katherine's lips, making sure every drop goes down her throat. She looks up again> Now what?
[18:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Let her sleep.  See, already it is working. <the doctor pulls the cotton away from the recent cut, and it's not bleeding at all.  More to the point, it seems smaller than it was already, and her color is improving>  When she wakes, all will be well.  <he smiles> Once the morning comes, we will go searching for that beast's lair, so you should rest as well.
[18:30] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <relief is obvious on her face and tears spring to her eyes. She turns and wraps her arms around him tightly, whispering fervently> Thank you. Thank you. If ever a person comes from God, it is you. Thank you.
[18:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he chuckles> I'm glad you think so. <hugging her back> Sleep.  I'll see you in the morning.
[18:34] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods, wiping her eyes> Alright. Wake me if you need anything. <she turns and kisses Katherine's cheek, then heads to the guest room next door>
[18:34] Chaos Angel Sox: ((FF to the morning then? :) ))
[18:35] arynwyn: (( How's he going out in the day? ))
[18:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<whistles>))
[18:35] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She should ask that. ^_^ ))
[18:35] arynwyn: (( >.> ))
[18:35] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she stops in the doorway> Wait, in the morning? How can you...?
[18:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he grins> It is the Blood Oath.  She will be faster, stronger, better, for a week.  I can go out in the sun for that same week.  7 days exactly.  And then it's back to normal.  This is the gift that my Father has given to me, just as his Father gave to him, and his Father before that.  
[18:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blinks> I see. <faint smile> Then I'll see you in the morning. <turns and heads for her room>
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is his powaaaaaaaaaaa <ahem> morning time?))
[18:42] arynwyn: (( sure sure ))
[18:42] arynwyn: (( you start? me start? ))
[18:43] arynwyn: (( Is very cool power :3 ))
[18:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I can start.  or you can.))
[18:43] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<is helpful>))
[18:43] arynwyn: (( :P ))
[18:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <wakes an hour before dawn, nervous and unable to sleep. She dresses and heads down to the kitchen to make the others breakfast, since she is too anxious to eat herself>
[18:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <is already there, working on brekkies> Good morning, oh loveliest of all the stewards I've ever had.  <smile smile smile - and he's wearing different clothes>
[18:47] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she turns crimson> Good morning, my Lord. <she bows uncertainly>
[18:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: There's no need to call me that if you don't want to.  At the very least, do not bow.  Toast?
[18:49] arynwyn: Elizabeth: No thank you. I'm not very hungry this morning. 
[18:53] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry, starting to get stuff together for work tonight))
[18:53] arynwyn: (( s'ok ))
[18:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Are you feeling alright?  Is there anything I can get for you?
[18:54] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Just nervous, is all/
[18:55] arynwyn: *.
[18:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Nothing will happen to you.  I will not allow it.  At least have a nibble or two of toast; you need your strength, and a little something in your stomach could help, hm?  <offers up a piece of toast again>
[18:59] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and takes the toast, nibbling as suggested> 
[19:00] arynwyn: (( I'mma go do chores while you're at work, but then I'll be around when I get those done. Just have a few things I need to do ))
[19:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You will see.  He will be weak during the day, and I will make short work of him, thanks to the Oath.  And then it will be you, me, and as much of Europe as I can possibly see!
 
 ((okee ))
[19:01] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <blushes lightly> We will travel? Where will we go?
[19:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Everywhere.  I've never been outside of Romania before!  Or even outside of Tulcea!  <pulls her into his arms and starts spontaneously waltzing>  Father says this is a necessary part of my education, so I must go to all kinds of different places.  Paris!  Madrid!  Berlin!  All the big cities!  Maybe even go north, visit the Swedes.  I don't know!  But I came first here, to London and to England.  Father says it is too important a country not to visit, and now I am so glad I did, because I have been blessed with this vision...<swings her out to arms' length to drink in the sight of her>...and she has agreed to come with me! <he twirls her out of the dance and resumes making eggs and toast>
[19:07] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes and laughs as he waltzes her around, then leans against the counter to study him, a smile playing on her lips, butterflies in her stomach> I wasn't entirely honest the other night, about why I was leaving the convent... <she looks away, ashamed>
[19:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks at her, clearly curious> I...want to know but it is not required that you tell me.  A steward's job is very specific and is related to only one duty.  You aren't a lackya or some...some mindless minion.
[19:10] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she looks away> Would you prefer I only be your steward?
[19:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks at her for a moment, puzzled, then comes over to her with a soft smile> Not at all.  <he leans in and kisses her cheek, lingering there for a moment, then bustles back over to the hearth> I said I wanted a friend, after all, did I not? <grins at her quickly, then puts the last egg on a plate and sets it on the table> You tell me your reasons when you are ready to say them.  But perhaps AFTER we kill that cowardly snake of a vampyr, hm?
[19:16] arynwyn: (( I need to go. <hugs> I'll talk to you later ))
[19:20] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
Session Close (arynwyn): Tue May 26 19:22:21 2009

[08:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So where were we?  Oh yes, vampire hunting during the day, yet unsuccessfully, which means Aron will have to be watching that night, just in case))
[08:55] arynwyn: Arynwyn (3:36:29 PM): Elizabeth: <she looks down at the ground and says quietly> The real reason I am leaving the convent is because I am lonely. I long for companionship. <crimson again> I'm not a very good nun, I know.
 ChaosAngelSox (3:38:24 PM): Aron: It was not meant for such beauty to be shut away in a convent.  God cannot be so selfish as to keep you all for himself.
 
 ((Hm.  should they find him and kill him or have to wait until nightfall and track him back to his lair first?))
 Arynwyn (3:39:21 PM): Elizabeth: <that doesn't help her blush> You're too kind.
[08:55] arynwyn: (( okee ))
[08:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So FF to nighttimes?))
[08:57] arynwyn: (( Yep. You wanna start? ))
[08:58] arynwyn: (( brb quick ))
[09:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <so! that night, he waits in the shadows by the window of Katherine's room, hoping this honorless vampyr will show up.  He dislikes using the poor girl as bait, but there is little else to be done>
 
 ((which of us is going to be big nasty vampy rawr?))
[09:01] arynwyn: (( oh, good question. I can do it. ))
[09:02] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sits next to Katherine, who is wide awake and terrified, holding her hand and trying to comfort her. She's tired but on edge, and she glances at Aron frequently for reassurance>
 <Not long past midnight, the is a soft crunch from outside the window>
[09:03] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <his eyes narrow, and he presses himself back into the darkness more, watching the window carefully>
[09:05] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <squeezes Katherine's hand and pretends to be asleep>
 <The window slides open and a man climbs inside. He's middle-aged, a gentleman by the looks of his clothes, and hungry. He eyes the two women and chuckles softly> Look at my luck...
[09:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <tackles him with a growl> Your luck, it is changing, cur!
[09:09] arynwyn: <Katherine screams and darts for the door, and Elizabeth runs after her, but stops just short of leaving>
 <The vampire looks shocked, then angry> What is this? <He rights himself forcefully and slams Aron back against the wall>
[09:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <hardly seems dazed at all; he practically bounces off the wall and grabs for the other vampire> Honorless dog! 
[09:14] arynwyn: <The vampire isn't very skilled in fighting. Maybe been in a few bar brawls, but that's about it. He swings, but misses>
[09:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <is Very skilled.  He doesn't miss.  His punch lands hard, and he follows it by wrapping his hands around the other's neck>
[09:17] arynwyn: <He tears at Aron's shirt, managing to tear it, but is unable to free himself from his grasp> What.... let me go! Why do you kill another vampire? <having difficulty talking>
[09:18] arynwyn: (( What's his last name again? ))
[09:19] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Because you have No Honor!  To attack women!  To take blood against her will!  <growls> I am now sworn to protect them, and you will no longer hurt anyone EVER again!
 
 ((Tiranul))
[09:20] arynwyn: <the man merely looks confused>
 Elizabeth: Lord Tiranul <timidly> can you please... maybe... do this outside of the house or somewhere...? <she glances back where Katherine disappeared>
[09:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <looks up at her quickly - the look of rage he's wearing for this other vampire is briefly visible, but it shifts quickly to understanding.  It's obvious the rage was never directed at her> Of course.  No one wants trash like this in their home.  <he picks the other vampire up and THROWS him out the window, then jumps out after him>
[09:22] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she hurries after Katherine>
 
 <the man scrambles to his feet and dashes for the cover of the woods>
[09:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <runs off after him, intent on tracking him down and killing him>
[09:23] arynwyn: (( D'you wanna RP the killing or no? ))
[09:25] Chaos Angel Sox: ((We don't have to do.  but guy's gonna die.  ohhhhhhhh yes deeaaaath))
[09:25] arynwyn: (( xD ))
[09:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <Has Katherine back in bed with a cup of tea when Aron comes back. She's pacing back and forth, praying that he's alright>
[09:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <comes back in, a sleeve ripped and some blood on his shirt> How are you both?  I am sorry to have had to put you through that.
[09:28] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <rushes to his side> Are you hurt? Sit down, let me look at you. <she pushes him toward a chair, worry creasing her face>
[09:29] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Fri May 29 09:29:45 2009.
[09:29] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Fri May 29 09:29:47 2009.
[09:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I'm fine, magnific, do not fear.  And that...<curses in Romanian>...will bother your family no longer.
[09:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she exhales> Thank you. <she still frets over him> Let me get you some clean clothes...
[09:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles> I can dress myself.  You are not...my slave.  <he sits in the chair but leans up to kiss her cheek> 
[09:33] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she, surprisingly, returns the kiss> No, but I am your friend and you have helped my family. It's the least I can do. <smiles>
[09:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he is pleased> When your family is better, we will go to London.
[09:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: A couple days, at most. Katherine feels fine but she's still terrified. I think having you here for safety will ease her fears. <she goes to the door> I'll be right back with clean clothes.
[09:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I should change clothes in a different room perhaps, yes?
[09:37] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Er, yes. <she glances at Katherine, who has just fallen asleep> 
[09:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he comes over to her by the door and grins at her, dropping his voice out of consideration for the sleeping girl> Maybe you just like the idea of getting me out of my clothes, hm? <he chuckles>
[09:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she turns scarlet and looks away, trying to avoid the fact that, yes, that's exactly what she had wanted> I will, uh... wait for you in the kitchen, then? Would you like some tea?
[09:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You've been up all day.  Rest, most beautiful sister. 
[09:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I should learn to sleep as you do. During the day. Besides, I'm still nervous about what happened. 
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Nervous?  <looks confused> That thing is dead.  He will not haunt you.  I have seen to that.
[09:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((bathroom))
[09:46] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Yes, I know. But I feel so guilty, knowing that his blood is on your hands because of me. <she sighs and rubs her eyes>
[09:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Lovely, you are not to blame for him.  Not his death, not anything.  A thing like that, does not deserve the gift he was given.  His Father must be ashamed of him.  <pauses> Unless...this is normal for your country?
[09:49] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> Yes. This is how we know vampires to be. Did you see the confusion on his face? He didn't understand what he was doing wrong. <she sighs again> I think *I* need some tea...
[09:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Very well.  I shall go change, then I shall join you, hm?  You should not have to be alone. <smiles reassuringly>
[09:51] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and heads for the kitchen>
[09:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <joins her in the kitchen after a few minutes, still lacing up his shirt> You should not feel bad, Elizabeta <giving her the Romanian variant of her name>  If it is normal here for vampyr to attack mortals, then it is also normal for mortals to seek protection.  He would kill her eventually, to keep draining her like that; his death was a risk he should have been prepared for.
[09:55] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's poured them both a cup of tea, and sits at the table. She's let her hair down and it curls around her shoulders> I suppose so. <she sips her tea> I like that, how you say my name. It's prettier than just Elizabeth. <she smiles>
[09:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No, no...do not ever say "just" about yourself.  <he drinks his tea> You are much more than "just", hm?  <he sighs> I am...unused to this idea of...of what I am.  That here, my kind do these sort of things without guilt or hesitation.
[10:01] arynwyn: Elizabeth: We are unused to your kind having honor. <sip> I suppose you don't have Hunters there, either?
[10:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Hunters?  Of course, most of the peasantry hunt for food.  Father and I enjoy hunts during special times of the year as well.
[10:03] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she gives him a sad look, shaking her head> You need to be careful here, Lord Tiranul. I speak of Vampire Hunters. Vampires hunt us for sustenance, and Hunters kill them to protect us. <she sighs> It sounds so much nicer where you're from.
[10:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Vampyr...Hunters? <this is an odd concept to him and he runs a hand back through his hair> Father had said I should not say what I was so readily to people here, but this...I...I had no idea...it is no wonder he wanted me to go out into the world.
[10:06] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> It's best no one knows. Your secret is safe with me and my family but... I can't promise anyone else will accept you.
[10:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks over at her and reaches over to take her hand> Thank you, magnific.  I appreciate it, just as I appreciate the sacrifice you have made in agreeing to be my blood steward.  I will still need to find a male steward as well, but London will likely have more candidates, hm?  Or perhaps Paris?  <he smiles at her> Where would you like to go after we leave your capital, hm?
[10:09] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she smiles and squeezes his hand> Wherever you go, I will follow. I've not seen anything except English countryside. <she traces her thumb over his hand>
[10:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You should write to your convent, so they do not think I stole you from them.  Well, I suppose I did, but they should not think so. <laughs>
[10:11] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she grins> I would probably be excommunicated if they found out the truth...
[10:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is not my intention to take you from your religion; I can share you with God, I suppose.  <finishes his tea> Have you any questions though? About...anything?  You can come to me any time to ask me whatever questions you have in your head.
[10:15] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she leans back in her chair and looks out the window thoughtfully> I suppose... <she pauses, sighs> No, nothing. Nothing I want to know the answer to, anyway. <smiles and finishes her tea>
[10:16] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks confused> Perhaps I do not know as much of your language, but...I feel I am missing something?
[10:17] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she shakes her head and stands up> Please don't worry about it. <gathers their cups> I think I will rest for a while, if that's alright.
[10:18] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Of course it is.  You do not have to ask me for every little thing.  So long as I can feed from you when I need to, the rest of your time is...your time.  <he stands> And, please, ask me if there is a question.  I am not so scary, am I?
[10:20] arynwyn: Elizabeth: No. <pink streaks through her cheeks> I was only wondering what would happen to me when you... grow tired of me. <she doesn't look at him and tries to focus on washing the cups>
[10:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he cocks his head> This...has never happened to me.  Always my stewards wish to leave me, never the other way around.  But if it should happen?  I will make sure you can live where you want to live, will make sure you have money to survive there.  You will always be taken care of. 
[10:24] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and puts the cups away> Thank you. I don't require much, I assure you, but I'm rather old for marrying and... well... <she rubs her eyes again> 
[10:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he laughs> Old?  I am old, Elizabeta.  <kisses her temple> You are young and radiant.  Besides, you will be tired of me long before I am tired of you, I assure you.
[10:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes again> How old are you, if I may ask?
[10:27] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: All told? I will be 70 soon.
[10:28] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <her eyes winden> That's incredible! 
[10:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is the gift.  Now...<mock stern>...if you will not go to bed...<quickly picks her up>...I will put you there myself!
[10:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she gasps, then giggles as she wraps her arms around his neck, nuzzling his ear> What a terrible punisher you are. <grins>
[10:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You, magnific, are a terrible temptation, with that...what is the term?...the ear...nudgings? <carrying her towards her room, smiling, of course>
[10:33] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes> Forgive me, I... lost myself for a moment. 
[10:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Lose yourself more often.  <laughs a little> But only if...er...<his face colors a little> I'm not sure I can finish that sentence in your tongue.  Not while you're still married to Christ.
[10:37] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Am I? I'm not so sure anymore. <she hugs him more tightly and rests her head on his shoulder>
[10:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Oh, so I didn't steal you away from God so much as...<pondering word>...seduce you from Him, hm?  Ohh, I will be in trouble.  <ducks into her room and lays her on her bed>
[10:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes again and laughs softly, then curls up on the bed, yawning> Will you sleep? 
[10:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I think it is best, hm?  I have another 6 days of daylight travel; I wish to make the most of them.  Sleep, most lovely steward of mine.
[10:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and snuggles into her pillow> Thank you for protecting Katherine. <she closes her eyes>
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: It is nothing.  Thank YOU for getting lost.  I would never have met you otherwise.  <leans down to kiss her forehead>
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Good night, Elizabeta.
[10:44] Chaos Angel Sox: ((forgot that part))
[10:45] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's already asleep>
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is prolly a good time for me to go out and grab foods.  When's your appt?))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( 8 AM. I'll go take a shower while you're gone. ))
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Okee! <hugggggggggggggggles>))
[10:46] arynwyn: (( <hugggggles> ))
[11:06] arynwyn: (( 'm back ))
[11:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((me too! <om nom nom>))
[11:16] arynwyn: (( I accidently went in Azjob Nerub xD ))
[11:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops!  did you end up saying hi to the spirit healer?))
[11:17] arynwyn: (( nope! Just ran out real quick xD ))
[11:18] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so! whilst I nom, is Elizabeta ready to go to London? :3 ))
[11:19] arynwyn: (( yes! ))
[11:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((shall I start with the arrival and so forth?))
[11:19] arynwyn: (( <nodnodnod> ))
[11:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <London!  He's still able to travel during the day and is enjoying it.  He is staying at a very upscale sort of inn and he leads her upstairs> Zola and Tarvek - my current stewards - will be here.  They...do not speak much English, I'm afraid.
[11:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <has been wide-eyed since they arrived in London, taking everything in> That's alright. I will make myself scarce while you see them.
[11:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No, no...come, meet them.  They will love that.  <he smiles reassuringly> Come in, please? <as he stops outside a door>
[11:24] arynwyn: Elizabeth: As you wish. <she smiles>
[11:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he grins and throws open the door, saying something in Romanian which sounds like a joyful greeting.  Inside are a young woman with black hair and fair skin and a young man of similar complexion and coloring.  They clearly aren't siblings - especially since they were snuggling on the couch.  They seem...embarassed, like kids caught canoodling by their parents, but they quickly shift to smiles and joys.  The woman jumps up and rushes to hug Aron and the man smiles.  There is a flurry of Romanian amongst them, and then they notice Elizabeth.  Aron says something in Romanian, but "Elizabeta" is one of the words - he's clearly introducing her>
 ((Since they're going to be very temporary, no colors!))
 Tarvek: <comes over and kisses her hand, clearly imitating Aron though he's nowhere near as smooth>
 Zola: <disentangles herself from Aron and curtseys to her and says, in VERY thickly-accented and broken English>Yes hello Elizabeta miss? <she looks to Aron to see if she's saying it right>
[11:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she grins and curtsies and tells them it's a pleasure to meet them. She seems a little awkward, and glances at Aron a lot>
[11:34] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <looks like a proud parent, all beaming.  He reaches for Zola and Tarvek's hands and tugs them over to him.  He talks to them in Romanian, and says something which shocks them.  Zola actually looks over at Elizabeth in surprise.  Then Aron pulls their hands (that he's holding - one in each of his) together so they're holding each other's hand and he closes his hands around them, grinning widely.  Tarvek seems to be falling over himself in gratitude - until Zola tackle-hugs Tarvek and nearly knocks him off his feet.  Aron makes good-natured shooing motions with his hands and they start rushing around, pulling out suitcases.  Aron walks over to Elizabeth, bemused> See?  They are so happy you are here. 
[11:35] arynwyn: Elizabeth: They will go back to Romania now? <she smiles, watching the two>
[11:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Yes.  They may get married here though, just to be able to spend that much more time ...ah..."together" on the trip.  It is...a long journey.
[11:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <smiles at him> So, what will we do, now that we're in London?
[11:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: What would you like to do?  Shopping, I would guess? <he smiles bemused as Zola pauses in her packing to hug Aron violently and kiss his cheek before spinning away back to her suitcase again>
[11:38] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Shopping? Oh, no... <she shakes her head, though she looks wistful> 
[11:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No?  Why not?  <he pulls her close to him> You give me life.  Some pretty clothes are the least I can do.  <Tarvek nudges Zola and they look at the interaction curiously>
[11:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes> I've never... I mean... <she sighs, frustrated with herself> I wouldn't even know where to begin. I went from being a farmer's daughter to a nun. Besides, you're here to see London, not take me shopping. <she rests her hand on his chest>
[11:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: What if I want to take you shopping, hmm? <smiles at her; he seems not to have noticed that Tarvek and Zola are staring at them>
[11:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she glances over at the two and her blush deepens. She looks away, trying to hide her red face> If that is what you want, then... <she smiles> Who am I to deny you what you desire? 
[11:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: There you go again with those temptations, magnific.  <The Romanian word registers with Zola and Tarvek.  She giggles and he arches an eyebrow and whispers something to her, then pushes at her gently as if to say "less staring, more packing" before he returns to packing himself>
[11:46] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <glances over at them again> What does that mean, anyway? 
[11:49] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Beautiful.  <smiling> Which you certainly are.  We shall find you so many beautiful dresses...find the best restaurant this city has to offer...maybe dancing, hm?  <he grins at her> I am going to ask the landlord if he can recommend a restaurant.  Stay here, I'll be right back, hm? <he kisses her cheek>
[11:50] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she returns the kiss and then stands there awkwardly as he leaves. She rubs her arm and tries not to look at the other two>
[11:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Zola: <breaks away from packing.  Tarvek makes an unsuccessful grab for her arm to stop her, but he's too slow.  She hurries over, grinning widely> Miss Elizabeta...the Master he like you yes?  I think so yes. <nod nod>
[11:52] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <smiles uncertainly> Perhaps.
[12:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Zola: I think so yes. <she says again> I think maybe Master vrea te, yes?  <And yes, a couple of those words are NOT English; she has a mischievious, giggling sort of look on her face, like girls at a slumber party talking about boys they like.  Tarvek, on the other hand, looks shocked, and does actually come over, take hold of her wrist and pull her back towards the suitcases>
 Tarvek: <in even worse English> I...she...sorry.  Do not...<sighs in frustration and turns his giggling future wife bodily back towards the packing>
[12:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((looking up...Romanian conjugation... @__@))
[12:01] arynwyn: (( o_O ))
[12:02] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she merely looks confused and makes a note of what Zola says so she can ask Aron what it means. She lets the two get back to packing and goes over to the window to look out at the view of London>
[12:04] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <comes back in> Okay, we have dinner plans!  Now!  We shall go to Fashion district and find you something pretty, lacey and scandalously beautiful, hm? <he grins and takes one of Elizabeth's hands to spin her as if they were dancing.  He kisses her cheek again and then releases her briefly.  He takes out a small purse of money and walks over to Tarvek.  He hands it over to his former steward, who protests mightily until Aron seems to insist.  Aron comes back over and offers his arm to Elizabeth> Shall we then? <all smiles and sparkling eyes>
[12:05] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she takes his arm and smiles back happily> Yes! Where are we going to dinner?
[12:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: We have a couple of hours.  Tell me what colors you like?  Because if you let me pick out dresses, you'll be in reds, golds and blacks.  My family's crest colors.  <And thinking back, it does seem to be most of what Tarvek and Zola were wearing>  But it isn't required for you to wear those.  You can wear whatever you wish.
[12:08] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Red happens to be my favorite color. <she smiles> So, Zola said something to me in Romanian right before you came back in. Would you translate it for me? (( I'm assuming they're outside the room by now?))
[12:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yes! :3 ))
[12:09] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[12:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Oh, certainly.  I'd love to hear you speak my tongue, even if only briefly. <grins> What was it?
[12:10] arynwyn: Elizabeth: She said something about you... <mispronounces a bit> "vree tee"?
[12:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <blink blink> "Vrea te"? 
[12:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I probably misconjugated that; please not to take me as Romanian expert >.>))
[12:12] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Yes! That's it. What does it mean?
[12:12] arynwyn: (( <hugs> Is okay. <3 Not like I would know xD ))
[12:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: ... ... ...she said that about me...To you? <he seems to be blushing>
[12:13] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Yes. <frowns> I didn't get her in trouble did I?
[12:15] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No, no....<he rushes to assure her> She is not in...in trouble....exactly....but she is leaving to get married.  I...<clears his throat>...you must understand that they really have not been able to be together while serving me; if she had become pregnant, it would have been problematic.  I think her mind is...is not where it should be. <yeah blushing>
[12:16] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Oh. <sounds disappointed> 
[12:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks at her and sighs, then stops walking and turns her toward him> I'm not saying she's wrong...<that's not helping his color>...but she is...more perceptive, and far more talkative about it, than I might've wanted.
[12:19] arynwyn: (( Sorry was big bad elite ))
[12:20] arynwyn: Elizabeth: About what? I'm so confused. <she puts a hand on his cheek> You don't have to tell me. I... would like to know, but if she said something she shouldn't have, then I will forget about it. 
[12:22] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he clears his throat> "te" means "you".  And "vrea"...<he clears his throat again> means...um..."wants".  <he looks down to hide his blushing>
 
 ((anymore blood goes to his face, he's gonna need an extra dose of blood tonight xD ))
[12:24] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Oh. <softly. She blushes but smiles, then leans in to kiss his cheek gently. She clears her throat and manages to say, even more quietly> Who am I to deny that which you desire?... 
[12:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <looks up at her quickly, then smiles softly> You are a beautiful young Englishwoman, hm?  Being a steward does not mean that you must...do anything except give me blood.  Please do not lessen yourself to raise me up.  I much prefer your independent self than an obedient...er...pet.  <though he punctuates this by petting her hair, letting his fingers comb through it a little>
[12:27] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Lessen myself? <she seems rather offended by this, pulling away from him> What is that supposed to mean?
[12:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You talk of yourself as if you are of no consequence, Elizabeta.  And that is not true.  I do not think of you that way....clearly. <throat-clearing>
[12:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((His English skills are not helping here....))
[12:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Plus, y'know, he's a man.  and they're stupid xD ))
[12:29] arynwyn: (( <giggle>  ))
[12:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sighs> If blood is all you ask of me, then that is all I will give. <she turns and continues walking, her head down>
[12:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <catches up with her> Elizabeta, I am...I could express this better in my tongue than yours...<he sighs> Blood is all I *require* of you.  I...ever since the Blood Oath, you have been very...<thinking of the word>...subservient?  And what I treasure about you - besides the taste of you - is not that.  I admit, I...worry.  It is...not right for me to want a steward, and I have committed already so many sins against you.
[12:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Why isn't it right to want a steward? What's wrong with that? 
[12:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he sighs> There are many reasons...<he pulls her towards a bench so they can sit down, then licks his lips to figure out how to translate everything> If I were to get you pregnant, you could not serve me.  That is a practical concern.  But more than that, I feel it...it belittles you.  My Father has told me that there are vampyr who take mortal...pets.  They drink from them, they sleep with them, they treat them like....like chattel.  These stories, they horrify me.  And to think of anyone treating you like that...it is terrible to me.  <he sighs> I already violated you so terribly, by drinking from you against your will.  To us, that is...that is like I had raped you.  <sounds ashamed>  To have already done that to you and then to say, "Yes, give to me your blood and your body"...I can't ask that and still be a man.
[12:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((when do you have to leave for appt?))
[12:42] arynwyn: (( gotta get ready in about 15 mins ))
[12:45] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods slowly> I see. Well, I have little choice in the matter, it seems, so there's no point in talking about it anymore. <she smooths out the skirt of her dress> I have spent my whole life serving others. First my parents, our village, then the Church and God. I thought I would serve a husband, but I ended up as your steward, which in English means servant. I apologize if I have been too... subservient. It is all I know. <she's frustrated and upset, and trying to hide it>
[12:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You do...serve me.  But only your blood.  That is the limit of your Duty.  Anything else I want...<he clears his throat> I don't want you to sleep with me because you are my steward.  That is not your duty.
[12:48] arynwyn: Elizabeth: That is not why I want to sleep with you! <closes her eyes when she realizes what she's said. She stands up and paces away, embarrassed> Forgive me, that was crude. I only meant that... if I did... it would not be because I feel it is my duty. 
[12:49] arynwyn: (( Nice Freudian slip there, Elizabeth. <snerk>
 Elizabeth: ... ... ... Who's Freud? >.> ))
[12:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <stands and catches up with her> Magnific, I admit to being weak to temptation, and you have...intrigued me since I first saw you.  <he brushes some hair out of her face> Let us go and find you costly and pretty dresses, put some rich food in your belly and we will see what happens from there, hm?  <he smiles> And, please...Zola and Tarvek call me "Master" because they are from my village.  You are not.  Please call me "Aron"?
[12:54] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she looks at him for a long moment, then nods. She slips her hand in his and gives him a small smile> As you wish.
[12:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <laughs and smiles and hugs her>
[12:55] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <kisses his cheek and turns to walk back down the street>

[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: So when last we left Aron & "Elizabeta", they had had a slight tiff over the question of his treatment of her and her treatment of him and over the possibility of bow chicka bow wow - which Aron has left open for the time being, while they go dress shopping and out to dinner. :3
[10:46] arynwyn: okee :3
[10:46] Chaos Angel Sox: That sound about right?
[10:46] arynwyn: <poof> Yep!
[10:47] Chaos Angel Sox: where shall we pick up then?
[10:47] arynwyn: Is there anything special you wanted to do while they're out to eat/shopping?
[10:47] arynwyn: Maybe Elizabeth has a bit too much wine? <grin>
[10:49] Chaos Angel Sox: I had no plans for that bit.  He's going to buy her every dress she expresses even a vague interest in, unless she stops him. :)  And he'd probably order wine with dinner and if she's been in a convent her tolerance may be quite low....<whistles>
[10:49] arynwyn: Yep xD
[10:49] arynwyn: Okay, so headed back to the inn? or...?
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: sorry if my responses are slow - tomorrow is another meeting with the minister and I'm supposed to have done all this stuff and I haven't ^_^;  <ahem>
 
 Headed back to inn works. :) who starts?
[10:51] arynwyn: (Link: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/comics/gallery.html#280)http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/comics/gallery.html#280
[10:51] arynwyn: Is okay :-)
[10:51] Chaos Angel Sox: is the same one
[10:52] arynwyn: You wanna start? maybe describe the room a bit?
[10:52] arynwyn: oh, oops
[10:52] arynwyn: ?
[10:52] arynwyn: (Link: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/comics/gallery.html#280)http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/comics/gallery.html#280
[10:52] arynwyn: that's the same one?
[10:52] arynwyn: apparently I don't know how to link them then...
[10:53] Chaos Angel Sox: It's really freaking hard. >.> 
[10:53] arynwyn: eh, nevermind then :P
[10:53] Chaos Angel Sox: yeah ~_~
[10:53] arynwyn: ooh
[10:53] arynwyn: nope, nevermind
[10:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <opens the room door with his key> I am sure Tarvek and Lola will have been on the first train out.  They were...anxious to be together, after all, even though they enjoyed being in my service.  <indeed their things are gone, but they apparently straightened up a bit before they left.  Though an inn room it may be, and thus not as fancy as the home he was looking at, it has a big bed and an armoire a dresser and a full length mirror.  There is also an attached room, very small, hardly more than a large walk-in closet size (in our era) with a single bed and small dresser for a servant.  This is the gentleman's suite, which of course Aron was able to secure through gross overpayment>
 
 
 ((So possibly the one you first sent me? wasn't the one I thought it was >.>  'cause I had just looked at that one and then you sent me the link.  maybe it just showed me the last comic I'd looked at again 'cause it's stupid))
[11:00] arynwyn: (( Not sure. >_< ))
 
 Elizabeth: <she steps inside and pulls off her cloak. She's been chatty and giggly since dinner, the wine having gone straight to her head> I still can't believe you bought all those dresses! <happy> Thank you.
[11:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles at her> Well if you are to follow me all over Europe, we cannot have you stay a nun.  It would be scandalous!  <there's a stack of boxes just inside the door - he had the dresses sent over.  He closes the door behind him>  You are welcome to these and more.  I enjoy spoiling beautiful women, what can I say? I admit it, it is a weakness.
[11:06] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes lightly and opens a few of the boxes, feeling the fabrics> Ooh, I want to put one on! <she darts for the servant's room with a dark red dress>
[11:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he chuckles to himself and sits on the edge of the bed to work his boots off>
[11:08] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <appears a few minutes later in the dress, her hair down around her shoulders. She spins in a circle, the skirt whooshing around her> What do you think?
[11:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks up and the smile on his lips...transforms.  It doesn't fade or go away so much as...well, he's just staring, mouth falling open just a bit.  He rises to his feet and pulls the smile back on as he approaches her> I think...<it takes him a moment and then he brushes her cheek with his fingertips> I think God will be angry with me for taking you from Him.  Perhaps I did not steal away one of His brides so much as one of His heavenly choir, hm?
[11:12] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <goes as scarlet as the dress> You should be a poet, Aron. <she leans in and gives him a soft kiss on the cheek, lingering>
[11:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You flatter me, magnific Elizabeta.  I, on the other hand, am speaking only the truth. <he loops an arm around her waist loosely - she could break away if she wanted> This is truly the most wonderful gift my Father has given me, because I would never have come here or met you without it.
[11:18] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I have no one to thank but Fate fot getting me lost, I suppose. <she nuzzles his ear and rests her hand on his chest>
[11:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: As a mortal, this could never happen to me.  As vampyr, I should not even think it.  But I do.  Oh, Elizabeta, I do.  <he closes his eyes and rests the side of his head against hers> You look beyond lovely in this dress...I cannot think of the words, and I do not know if my Romanian would be any better for this than my English.  And yet, I hope you will forgive me for saying, seeing you in this beyond lovely dress just increases my desire to get you out of it.
[11:29] arynwyn: (( Sorry, was making sure Tim got out of bed :P ))
[11:29] Chaos Angel Sox: (('s okay))
[11:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she drops kisses down his neck and steps closer, pressing her body against his. She isn't sure what to say to that, so she relies on her actions to do the talking. The hand on his chest toys with the tie of his shirt and loosens it slowly>
[11:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Had we not had our...discussion before shopping, I would say you are drunk, a mea inger.  <he begins getting her out of the dress - in medieval days this might take a few hours (j/k)> Were I not what I am, I might say I was as well.
[11:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's not laced the dress too tightly and it slips down over her shoulders with just a little coaxing> Does it matter? <she kisses his ear> We both want this... drunk or not. <lets the dress slide down a little further>
[11:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I think, Elizabeta, you are making me drunk. <tugging the dress down off of her further.  He bends to kiss her shoulder and arm>
[11:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she shivers and lets the dress drop off the rest of the way. Underneath she wears nothing, having removed her undergarmets when she changed. She presses herself against him bashfully, closing her eyes and trying to soothe the butterflies in her stomach>
[11:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he hugs her to him, petting her skin and warming her up, then lifts her face to his and lowers his lips to hers.  He kisses her softly, slowly, gently at first, but with a heat behind it that seems to be growing>
[11:46] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she returns the kiss inexpertly, somewhat awkwardly, and tries to keep her knees from buckling. She grips his shirt in one hand as if he might run away any second>
[11:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he pulls away and says softly> Do not fear.  I have no desire to cause you any harm or shame.  But if you do not let go of me, I cannot undress, and I do not think you wish to be the only one so exposed, hm?  <an idea occurs to him> Here...<and he bends down and scoops her up.  He kisses her again briefly, then deposits her on the bed and pulls the blankets up around her to keep her warm, though he does so playfully, nuzzling and kissing little bits of her skin whenever he can, and smiling the whole while>
[11:51] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she grins back and snuggles into the blankets> I get to watch? <her eyes stay glued on him, desire obvious>
[11:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: If you wish to.  If I thought more of myself, I would say I were unwrapping a gift for you.  <he chuckles and bends to kiss her with brief intensity before straightening up and pulling his shirt off, then working on getting his pants open.  Were he not the smooth, suave, sophisticated heir to a duchy, he might be said to be a little...anxious in the removal of his clothing>
[11:54] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <She doesn't notice. She's too busy gaping at the sight of him, the first naked man she's seen. She goes a little wide-eyed and anxiety fills her stomach as insecurities fill her head. She snuggles deeper under the blankets and wishes briefly that should could disappear>
[12:00] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <finishes undressing and clambers up onto the bed next to her> Perhaps I get to unwrap a gift then, hm?  <he nuzzles his face into the blankets to kiss her cheek and say quietly> I am flesh and blood, just as you are, but my blood is at least partly yours.  There is some part of you within me that...that sustains me, yes?  You are beyond precious to me. <he pulls part of the blanket away slowly, letting it slip along her skin> Trust me, Elizabeta, and know that I care too much for you to cause you pain, hm?
[12:01] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she curls up next to him, stroking his bare chest> I know you would never hurt me. I just... don't know what to expect. <she's scarlet again> Please forgive my ignorance. 
[12:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: We were all ignorant once.  What did I know, in my last life, of romancing beautiful women?  What right did I have then to even dream of someone like you, let alone to touch you?  There is nothing ever to forgive.  <he kisses her again, from her lips to her cheek to her neck and shoulder.  He pets her skin, letting her get used to his touch>
[12:09] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she feels her body grow hot under his touch and she closes her eyes, relaxing bit by bit. Her hands explore his body hesitatingly, though avoiding the real sensitive areas> You are so perfect. I've never met anyone so perfect before. 
[12:11] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he laughs> I am not, but I thank you for your flattery.  To be praised by an angel is something I never thought would happen in my life.  <he kisses down to her chest and gives an experimental lick at one of her nipples, to make sure this is kosher with her first>
[12:12] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she giggles softly> That feels strange. Strange but good. <she combs her fingers through his hair>
[12:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles> It will not always feel strange.  <he closes his mouth around the nipple as a hand pets her thigh reassuringly>
[12:16] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she shivers again and pulls him closer, rubbing his back and shoulders> ...this is... <she seems to lose her train of thought for a moment> ...you're a vampire and this is... is this real? <she laughs softly and slides one of her legs between his>
[12:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Very real. <he switches breasts, and lets his hand slide up on the inside of her thigh>
[12:19] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <her breath catches in her throat> But not only are you a vampire... <still trying to work this out in her head> you're a noble too!... Why would you want a peasant-turned-nun-turned-servant like me? Not that I'm complaining... Mmm... <runs one of her hands down his chest and stops just short of his groin>
[12:24] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he stops what he's doing to look her in the eye> When I was mortal, before...Elizabeta, I was a farmer's son.  I herded animals and harvested crops.  I was nobody and nothing until my Father chose me as his Heir.  <he smiles and kisses her> Back then, I could have never met you, could not have talked to you - even my Romanian was...was atrocious, there was no poetry in it at all.  And English? <he shakes his head> I could not have bought you pretty dresses.  I would not have been in a house in the English countryside to meet you.  I...I would likely have been dead by now.  
 
 But that is all the past.  It is my past, and you have yours.  These things....they do not matter now.  I am in bed with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.  This - and you - are all that I can care about now. 
[12:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she kisses him, deeply and with desire, and something more, something akin to love, maybe. She doesn't pull away until she needs to breathe, and then her lips go to his neck and ear>
[12:27] arynwyn: (( brb, need cereals ))
[12:29] arynwyn: (( mmm food :3 ))
[12:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles and moves his hand up, gently searching for that one magic spot.  He could find it easier normally except he's not looking - he's kissing her cheek and enjoying her attentions>
[12:32] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she moans softly, even before he finds her sweet spot. She shifts, opens, and moves closer to him, sliding her hand down further to timidly touch him, petting him uncertainly>
[12:38] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he shudders a little, a good shudder. He keeps stroking her and kissing her, murmuring soft words in Romanian against her skin, most of which she's never heard before.  Ones that show up over and over are inger, magnific, and lots and lots of da and "Elizabeta">
[12:40] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <encouraged by his reaction, she pets him with a little more confidence, wrapping her hand around and stroking him gently. Her mind is elsewhere, though, lost in the swimmy pleasure he creates for her. She moans again, urging him on silently>
[12:41] arynwyn: (( <giggle> So true...  (Link: http://roflrazzi.com/upcoming/?pid=12520)http://roflrazzi.com/upcoming/?pid=12520  ))
[12:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he murmurs a question against her ear, but of course it's in Romanian....broken Romanian, randomly punctuated by moans>
[12:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<LOL> So VERY true))
[12:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <it registers that he's asking her something so she pulls back a little to look at him> What is it? Am I doing something wrong?
[12:44] arynwyn: (( <ROFLMAO> Oh god, so creepy...  (Link: http://roflrazzi.com/2009/05/27/celebrity-pictures-burger-king-his-turn/)http://roflrazzi.com/2009/05/27/celebrity-pictures-burger-king-his-turn/  ))
[12:44] arynwyn: (( Mmm, yes :3  (Link: http://roflrazzi.com/upcoming/?pid=6714)http://roflrazzi.com/upcoming/?pid=6714  ))
[12:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Nu...<realizes what he's doing> No, no, Elizabeta.  Not at all.  Quite the opposite.  I...apologize, I...am not used to having to speak your language when consumed with passion. <kisses her again reassuringly> Ah...I asked if you...you were ready?
[12:45] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o_O BK king creeps me out anyway))
[12:45] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she returns the kiss and nods shyly> 
 
 (( me too >_< ))
[12:47] arynwyn: (( OMG had the HOTTEST daydream the other day. Like, take Interview with the Vampire, MINUS Tom Cruise (ech), replaced with Christian Bale. OMG YUM <Dies> ))
[12:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles and kisses her, resuming his hand attentions briefly.  He slips a couple of fingers in slowly to see how she handles that - testing the waters, as it were>
 
 ((O_O  ...um...excuse me I have to...er...spend some quality time with myself and that mental image.))
[12:48] arynwyn: (( I know @__@ It's like.... fuck me, HOT  <ahem> ))
[12:49] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sucks in a breath as he does, wincing, but smiles quickly, trying to reassure him>
[12:53] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he notices.  He moves them in and out a little and rubs her magic spot with his thumb a little as he does so>
 
 ((is how he thinks of the clitoris: the Magic Spot! xD ))
[12:55] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <pleasure overtakes the pain and she moans again, her eyes closing> 
[12:56] arynwyn: (( can download patch now ))
[12:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <kisses her throat and whispers more sweetnothings in her ear - well presumably they are; he's reverted to Romanian again, for the most part.  Every once in awhile some English slips in, adjectives like "beautiful" and "sublime">
[12:59] arynwyn: (( <pause button> Tim's home. >.> ))
[12:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((kk :) ))
[13:00] Chaos Angel Sox: (('m gonna need to shower soon anyway - gotta meet Lisa to discuss bridesmaidery dress stuff apparently. she pounced me on AIM))
[13:01] arynwyn: (( oooh. okee <hugs> ))
[13:01] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggggggggggggles>))
[13:28] arynwyn: (( are you gone? ))

[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yay! <snugs>))

[13:41] arynwyn: (( <snugs> ))
[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sexxings?))
[13:41] arynwyn: (( I'm confused though 'cause I thougth Lisa moved away? ))
[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxohgodhelpmethex'saretakingovermybrain))
[13:41] Chaos Angel Sox: ((She went to grad school; she's in Btown for the week))
[13:41] arynwyn: (( >.> ))
[13:41] arynwyn: (( oooh ))
[13:42] Chaos Angel Sox: ((is summer! no more school!))
[13:43] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <slowly loses herself again as the pleasure overtakes the pain, and goes back to stroking him slowly. She kisses his ear and neck and shoulder>
[13:43] arynwyn: (( nice :3 ))
[13:47] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he kisses rapidly all the way down her body, down to her ankles and back up again, and by the time he reaches her lips once more, he's basically atop her (though of course he's keeping his weight off of her with his arms). He's enjoying kissing her so much he almost forgets what else he's supposed to be doing...almost.  He very carefully eases into her, watching for the slightest sign of discomfort and adjusting for her pleasure>
 
 ((..."for her pleasure" makes me think of condoms and sex toys, but I just couldn't phrase it another way...))
[13:48] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[13:50] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she wraps her arms around him, smiling from all the kisses, and pulls him in to kiss his lips. She does wince as he presses in, but no amount of adjustment seems to make any difference. She buries her face in his neck>
[13:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <whispers soothing Romanian words to her and slides his hand down to resume Magic Spot attentions.  This is a tricky balancing act now: he resting his weight on one arm, one hand in between their bodies to rub her in just the right way while he's inside her trying to get a rhythm established.  As his focus shifts more to pleasuring the both of them - especially her - than to the rest of the world, he starts to slide towards the edge of the bed.  He realizes what's happening too late and reflexively grabs for her...sending them both rolling off the bed.  He ends up in a tangle of bedsheets on the floor, with her atop of him, and he looks up at her in concern> A te rani...er...are you hurt?
[13:55] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I had to, I'm sorry, it was too amusing not to))
[13:56] arynwyn: (( <giggle> ))
[13:56] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she laughs and kisses him softly> No, I am fine. Are you? <she slides off of him and lays on her back on the floor>
[13:56] Chaos Angel Sox: (('sides, your girls need to be on top more often xD ))
[13:57] arynwyn: (( xD ))
[13:58] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I am unharmed.  <he pulls her over to him> Though I hope this has not convinced you that this was a bad idea?
[13:59] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nuzzles his ear> No. It broke the tension. I was afraid I... <shakes her head> It's not a bad idea. <kiss>
[14:01] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I should fall off the bed more often then. <he sort of half-pulls her on top of him/half-scootches underneath her> This may be more comfortable for you anyway.  <reaches up to smooth her hair away from her face, all smiles and beaming affection>
[14:03] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she gazes at him for a long moment, then blushes and busies herself with alignment and whatnot. She eases down carefully and slowly, with less pain this time>
[14:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <groans softly and licks his lips, moving his hips ((hisp?)) up towards her a little, reflexively.  His hand falls from her face, brushing her breast fleetingly on its way to her waist where it rests (and is joined on the other side by his other hand)>
[14:06] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <his groan makes her shiver and she begins to move slowly, awkwardly and without much rhythm. The pleasure overwhelms her and she gasps softly, balling her hands into fists on his chest>
[14:08] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he tries to help her synchronize their ((no, not watches)) motions, and occasionally gasps or groans again when something hits him just right.  Speaking, in either Romanian or English, seems to be a thing of the past>
[14:10] arynwyn: (( I think, just to be evil, she's not gunna have an orgasm so whenever you wanna have him have one... ))
 
 Elizabeth: <she smooths out her motions and focuses on breathing. Though the pleasure is great, her mind is on him and his reactions to what she does>
[14:11] Chaos Angel Sox: ((awwwwwwww))
[14:11] arynwyn: (( Unless tha'ts going to cause him problems? xD ))
[14:12] Chaos Angel Sox: ((it will merely make him more determined to keep at it with her in future...ah...practices :3 ))
[14:12] arynwyn: (( <giggle> okee good ))
[14:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he lets his head roll back and closes his eyes, moaning with a little more volume and gripping her hips more>
[14:15] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she leans down and kisses his neck, her breath hot on his skin. She instinctively moves faster
 
 (( actually...))
 
 until, with a shudder, she moans and peaks, gripping his shoulders tightly>
 
 (( I has a plan ))
[14:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh ho? :3 ))
[14:16] arynwyn: (( yar ))
[14:17] Chaos Angel Sox: ((so okay then to finish up or should he go for a second one for her.  He has zee stamina but I can also see him being so worked up for this first time.......))
[14:17] arynwyn: (( Yeah, I'd think that he'd been rather, uh... worked up. yeah, like you said. ))
[14:18] arynwyn: (( A few realms are coming back up, finally ))
[14:19] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<laughs>))
 
 Aron: <groans louder and releases all his pent up tension inside her, holding her to him and whispering her name over and over again>
[14:20] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she lets out a shaky breath and slumps on top of him, panting and glistening with sweat. She starts to say something, but gives up after the first "I" comes out>
[14:23] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he smiles, eyes still closed and kisses her face; he has to think to speak in English, so it takes him a bit> What is it, most treasured angel? <kiss kiss kiss>
[14:24] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <chuckles weakly> I'm not sure. <she returns the kisses, then sits up slowly, drawing a blanket around her as she stands> I don't remember what I was going to say.
[14:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: No lying? <he seems...skeptical>
[14:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Of course not. <she smiles> I think it was something along the lines of, "I can't feel my toes"... <she picks her dress up off the floor>
[14:29] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he chuckles and makes himself get up off the floor> I will need to remake the bed before it can be slept in...which means....<he reaches out and tugs on the blanket she has wrapped around her, which of course pulls her over to him> I am going to need this back. <he grins and kisses her again, long and deeply> 
[14:29] arynwyn: (( Did you get the patch downloaded? Mine gets stuck at 10% and says "The tracker is not responding" ))
[14:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I haven't even tried.  Need to leave soon to get food before I meet Lisa))
[14:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she returns the kiss, surrendering the blanket> If you must. 
[14:31] arynwyn: (( boo. I'mma be so bored <flails>
[14:31] arynwyn: ))
[14:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Besides, what need is there to hide your beautiful figure from me now, hm?  <kisses her shoulder again and turns to start making the bed>
 
 ((Sorry. but...food.  and wedding-y stuffs))
[14:32] arynwyn: (( I know :P ))
[14:32] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she helps him with the bed, then picks her dress back up and heads for the servant's room> Sweet dreams, Aron.
[14:35] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <looks at her, confused> You...aren't sleeping with me?
[14:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oops))
[14:36] Chaos Angel Sox: *are not
[14:36] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Aron does not do well with contractions in English))
[14:36] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she stops and looks back at him, confused> I thought I was supposed to sleep in here? Why else did you rent this room as well?
[14:39] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: This was the same room I had when Tarvek and Zola were with me.  You...are not them.  <he comes over, still starkers (Naked), and pulls her into his arms> I would rather have you next to me.
[14:40] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Oh. <she blushes and hugs him tightly> I would rather be next to you. I just thought... oh, I don't know what I thought. <she kisses his neck> I'm tired, I think. <smiles> 
[14:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Then we shall sleep!  And when we awake, I may tire you out again...<grins and carries her off to bed>
 
 ((fooooooooooood.  <hugs> I'll be back...er...whenever we're done))
[14:46] arynwyn: (( okee <hugs> I should be here :-) Have fun ))
[14:46] Chaos Angel Sox: (( :D ))
[15:44] arynwyn: Hatawan will be the gray.
[15:44] arynwyn: (( MT xD ))
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((if Hatawan is the gray, can Lakhtari be the electric fuschia?))
[18:07] arynwyn: (( <laugh> uhm, sure?&nbsp;-))
[18:07] arynwyn: (( :P ))
[18:07] Chaos Angel Sox: ((heheheh))
[18:08] arynwyn: (( how was food & Lisa? ))
[18:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((food = cheap & fast; Lisa = sweaty from the gym, but good))
[18:09] arynwyn: (( xD ))
[18:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Lisa =/= cheap & fast))
[18:09] arynwyn: (( <snerk> Good to know ))
[18:10] Chaos Angel Sox: ((she has a nifty idea for her bridesmaid dress and a friend of hers can make it for her, so...there we go!  Then we went to Hallmark and Old Navy.))
[18:10] arynwyn: (( yay! ))
[18:12] arynwyn: (( so, RP? WoW? ))
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((I have about an hour...so...either?  I'ma start the patch loading))
[18:14] arynwyn: (( okee ))
[18:14] arynwyn: (( you might have to get from another site 'cause downloader was being stupid ))
[18:14] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Prolly RP until the patch behaves xD))
[18:15] arynwyn: (( okee, so... I'm still trying to decide exactly how to do this... If she left the next day without saying anything, would he follow her?
[18:15] arynwyn: ))
[18:15] Chaos Angel Sox: ((o.o yes!))
[18:16] arynwyn: (( okee ))
[18:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((He has a couple days left of "being out in daylight"-ness))
[18:16] arynwyn: (( alright. ))
[18:16] arynwyn: (( uhm, if I'm slow it's 'cause I'm doing group quests with pocky and Manders ))
[18:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((aww okee :3 ))
[18:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((oooo severe thunderstorm watch))
[18:16] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oh hey, it's done downloading))
[18:16] arynwyn: (( nice! ))
[18:19] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <so, early the next morning, just after dawn actually, she rises and dresses quietly, then pulls on her cloak and heads out into the cold morning>
[18:26] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <wakes a few hours later (he's a deep sleeper) and looks around for her.  Not finding her anywhere around, he washes up and dresses then heads downstairs.  He asks after her downstairs with the innkeeper>
[18:29] arynwyn: <The Innkeeper said that she went in the direction of St. Peter's Church ((making up the cathedral name)), which was to the south of the inn not too far>
 
 (( Actually, this doesn't work if he slept for a couple hours after she left. >_< ))
[18:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((he should wake up right away?))
[18:38] arynwyn: (( Well, if he won't then we can just skip this idea. <shrug> ))
[18:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((No is fine))
[18:38] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<rewind>))
[18:39] arynwyn: (( okee xD ))
[18:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <wakes up as the door shuts> Elizabeta? <rubs his eyes and pulls on some pants to poke his head out of the door> Elizabeta?
[18:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she's headed down the stairs, her head down, cloak pulled around her shoulders. She doesn't hear him or turn>
[18:45] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <neverminding the fact that he's only wearing pants, he catches up to her> Elizabeta? <he looks worried>
[18:47] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blinks at him> What's wrong? 
[18:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You are...going out for breakfast maybe?  And then coming back, yes? 
[18:49] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <gives a small smile> I was... going to confessional, actually. <looks away, ashamed>
[18:55] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Ah.  <he rubs the back of his neck> I...suppose you would think that is necessary.  <he sighs> You will come back though, yes? <looking like he's not so sure of that>
[18:59] arynwyn: you be on at work?
[18:59] arynwyn: (( ))
[18:59] Chaos Angel Sox: ((yesh!))
[18:59] arynwyn: (( okee! ))
[19:00] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggles>))
[19:00] arynwyn: (( <hugggggles> ))
Session Close (arynwyn): Tue Jun 02 19:00:25 2009


Session Start (ChaosAngelSox:arynwyn): Wed Jun 03 00:28:34 2009
[00:28] Chaos Angel Sox: ((So! Where were we? :3 ))
[00:28] arynwyn: (( <needs hugs> ))
[00:28] *** Auto-response sent to arynwyn: I'm here-and-there right now, doing other things while online.  Just leave me a message and when I get back around here, I'll respond.
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((<huggggggggggggggggles>  what's the lastest news on Timmeh?))
[00:29] arynwyn: ChaosAngelSox (5:42:39 PM): Tiranul: <he doesn't look at her> My son, he tells me something interesting last night.  I am not certain what to do with this. <drink>
 Arynwyn (5:44:04 PM): Elizabeth: My Lord, if I may be so bold to say... You want your son happy, yes? We make each other very happy.
[00:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((*latest))
[00:29] arynwyn: (( <huggggggles> That he may be up there for a few days, but I can come visit him in the evenings. Greg went up to get the car keys 'cause he needs something out of Tim's car, so he took Tim some clothes and such. ))
 
[00:31] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <(in his new color 20/139/109, so he's more dissimilar to Elizabeth) he turns to look at her, studying her as if she were some new species of fauna> Forgive me, my English is....parlez vous Francais? <his French is almost perfectly Parisian> Or...[do you speak Latin]? <he asks in Latin, but I'm too lazy to try and look that up>
[00:32] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <Oh! She speaks Latin, of course. She was a nun, afterall. So, she switches to Latin> Yes, I speak Latin fairly well.
[00:36] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <in Latin from here on out> Ah, yes, much better. <and is Latin is fluent perfection> I have only just started learning your language and it is very very different from Romanian.  But, back to the matter at hand, hm? <clears his throat> I have two concerns here.  The first is that you do not feel as if you are required to sleep with my Son simply because he wants up your skirts.  There is great respect for blood-stewards in our line, because of all that you do for us.  For him to disrespect you by suggesting you let him screw you is unpardonable.
[00:38] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she smiles faintly> You have taught him well, my Lord. He and I had this very discussion when I first became his steward and we realized we desired each other. <she rubs her arm> I assure you, as I assured him, that I do not feel it is my duty to, ah, sleep with him. 
[00:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <oh that's a change in the landscape; his eyes narrow just a little> When you first became his steward? <an eyebrow arches> I am surprised he's held off so long...
[00:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blinks, sensing she's stepped on a landmine, and swallows> Ah, yes, it hasn't been easy. <looks away; she's not a very good liar>
[00:48] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <goes to sit down at his desk> Miss Reeves, there is something Aron has not told you.  This is through no fault of his own, of course; he doesn't know.  He is a young vampyr still, and has much yet to learn.  I sent him out into the world as part of this education.  <he looks her in the eyes like a hawk looks at a mouse> The line of the Duchy of Tulcea does not marry.  We don't marry mortals because they age and get sick and die, and we do not.  Mortal women will begin to resent our eternal youth, and even those who don't will eventually abandon us for the grave.  And we do not marry female vampyr because, as I believe you have seen, we are unique amongst our kind.  Aron was born in this province and been raised here all his life; he has never known any other way for vampyr to act; I was as he is once, long ago.  He knows now: other vampyr view mortals as cattle or chattel, period.  Female vampyr are especially bad.  To bring one of those creatures here would be catastrophe.
 So we do not marry, for these reasons.  Not ever.
 <he looks at some papers on his desk> Aron has treated you well - better than most stewards.  Pretty dresses, fancy dinners, jewelry and sweetmeats and flowers. <looks back at her again, the same sharp, almost predatory look> It's clear to me he's besotted with you, and if you have any plans on using this weakness as a way to get at our line's power, influence and money, you are going to be sorely disappointed.
[00:52] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <clearly taken aback, she flushes with immense embarrassment that he would think such a thing. She's quiet a moment> I have no desire for your money or power or influence, my Lord <somewhat tartly; she's obviously offended> I never expected to marry Aron. It's true, we are very much... we enjoy each other's company immensely. <she sighs and looks away> Should I leave, then? Go back home to London?
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: That would be for the best.  I shall arrange a suitable severance package for you, and you will be transported to the ship in a coach, just as you came here.  <he stands> Aron will get over it -and you- in time.  We vampyr have plenty of that.  You would do well to forget all about us, Miss Reeves.  Good evening. <clearly dismissing her>
[00:57] Chaos Angel Sox: ((SO glad I didn't have to write that in broken English))
[01:00] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I don't want your "severence package", my Lord. <she turns to the door> It's a terrible pity that you codemn both yourself and Aron to such unhappiness. <she steps out and closes the door with a snap before he can reply>
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <is in his rooms.  He's still in bed, actually, and doesn't seem to want to get up>
 
 ((sorry, distracted by kitties>
[01:09] Chaos Angel Sox: ))
[01:10] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she comes in quietly, pulling her hair aside, planning to do this quickly so she can go to her own room and break down> Aron, are you awake?
[01:11] Chaos Angel Sox: (( (Link: http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/docs/title/jr_news_nursing_0603_c3.jpg)(Link: http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/docs/title/jr_news_nursing_0603_c3.jpg)http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/docs/title/jr_news_nursing_0603_c3.jpg  Dog adopted a kitten ))
[01:11] arynwyn: (( hehe, cute ))
[01:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I would rather this were a bad dream I could wake up from.  I talked to my Father last night...<sitting up>...and he...
[01:12] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she frowns> So you know, then?
[01:13] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <blinks> Wait...YOU know?  He told me last night just before I went to bed...
[01:14] arynwyn: Elizabeth: I just talked with him. <she paces over to the window> I'm going home, Aron. <she sighs heavily, her head and shoulders drooping>
[01:17] arynwyn: (( brb ))
[01:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: What? <he tosses the covers off - he sleeps in da buff - and comes over to her> He didn't tell me he was sending you away!  
[01:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: What other choice is there? Staying would only encourage our... fantasy. <she wipes away the tears that run down her cheeks, then looks up suddenly, desperation in her eyes> Kill me, Aron. Take my blood; then you would have part of me with you always. I would rather die than live forty more years bitterly alone. <she hides her face in her hands>
[01:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Kill you?! Elizabeta...<pulls her in close to him> I could never do such a thing. I...<idea starts to percolate through his brain> ...I have an idea, if you would truly be willing....
[01:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: Anything, Aron. <she buries her face in his neck> What? Say the word and I will do whatever you ask.
[01:32] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Take a Blood Oath with me.  Promise to stay with me for as long as I can make you happy and I will do the same for you...and then you must go pack.  We will leave during the day tomorrow.
[01:33] Chaos Angel Sox: ((there is more to his plan, but we're starting with step 1 here))
[01:34] arynwyn: (( Just a sec ))
[01:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> Alright. Where can I get bowls? 
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he looks around and grabs a wash basin> Here.  We do not need goblets - just to drink the mixed blood.  <he's like a kid in a candy store....who's been told he has 30 seconds to pick out what he wants or he's getting nothing; he bites his arm and lets blood flow into the bowl>
[01:42] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <having no knife, she waits until he's done with his own wrist, then holds hers out for him to cut with his teeth>
[01:43] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <kisses her arm first before biting it open.  He positions her arm over the bowl and whispers apologies for the brief pain into her ear before he goes to get something to stop her bleeding with> Take it easy tonight; we will have far to go - and quickly - tomorrow.
[01:44] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she hardly notices the pain, she's so keyed up with adrenaline> You must feed as well, Aron. I will be fine if I rest.
[01:46] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: I will be fine.  I will have this blood to sustain me.  <he looks at her, still slightly manic but very serious> I swear to you, Elizabeta, I will not leave your side so long as I am able to make you happy. <big smile>
[01:53] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she returns the smile, overwhelmed with happiness to hear those words> And I swear, Aron, that I will not leave your side so long as you make me happy. 
[01:53] arynwyn: (( Sorry was big boss fight ))
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Oooh))
 
 Aron: <he grins and drinks some of the mixed blood in the bowl - quite a bit of it, he was hungry, after all, and then offers the bowl to her>
[01:55] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she drinks down the remainer without even a slight grimace, then leans up to kiss him deeply>
[01:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <hugs her tight as he returns the kiss> Go pack and mope.  And rest.  Act as if you're preparing to go back to London.  Once you're done packing, you can come back here if you wish; our spending our last evening together can hardly surprise Father, and we can leave that much sooner in the morning.
 
 (('m yawning))

[12:14] Chaos Angel Sox: 'cause you is the vampire person so I thought you should have the lowdown on something I cooked up last night before teh random started in my head...<flexes fingers>
[12:15] arynwyn: okee
[12:19] Chaos Angel Sox: we have this setup for a vampire creating another vampire where the new vampie is considered the older vamp's child - they start out relatively weak and get stronger as they go along, they have that mental bond and the hot/cold sense with the Sire, etc.
 
 I've been RPing the Duke and Aron as if they are part of a very old vampiric line that knows most of the little tricks the a lot of our vampires don't know (such as how to give your child powers when you create them - the Duke's special power is the same as Aron's (the Blood Oath), and all the vampires in their line have had that same power, because they know how to create that in their "offspring").
 
 So what if they know a trick to create a vampire who isn't necessarily weaker?  Sort of a way of making a vampiric equal instead of a child: the newly made vamp has the same level of power as the vampire who made them (not necessarily the same power, unless that was the intention, but they don't start out as weak).  This is a very dangerous thing to know, obviously: if a very old and powerful vampire made an equal in this way and that new vamp went out and abused all that power...it'd be bad.  So you don't usually do something like that.  
[12:19] Chaos Angel Sox: well, Aron doesn't know this trick....but the Duke does.
[12:20] Chaos Angel Sox: There'd still be the mental bond and the hot/cold sense - but that power differential is gone
[12:20] arynwyn: that'd be fine :3 just 'cause you've really set up the old line of vampires thing. <nodnod>
[12:21] Chaos Angel Sox: They has a book, actually, and all these rules.  Poor Aron is really sort of in the dark, but the Duke's taking his time educating him.  which, hey, vampires: nothing but time, y'know? Especially when they live somewhere where they aren't hunted and hated.
[12:22] arynwyn: Yeah xD
[12:22] Chaos Angel Sox: <ahem> So! When last we left our lovers, they were preparing to flee, yes?
[12:23] arynwyn: Yep!
[12:24] arynwyn: (( Must be cold outside <shiver> ))
[12:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <in the morning, fortified against the sun's rays with SPF 9000 (just kidding)...by the Blood Oath, he hurries Elizabeth out into the courtyard; he's carrying two suitcases or else he'd be carrying her as well>
 
 
 ((Oh, Aron is definitely a Child, not an Equal.))
[12:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she gots suitcases as well, but she's not lagging behind at all. She glances back once, more like a glare, then focuses on getting gone>
[12:28] arynwyn: (( YESSSS! I got the Jeweled Fishing rod!!!  ))
[12:29] Chaos Angel Sox: <suddenly the Duke's guards (who are mostly human) surround them.  They aren't armed, but they clearly have no intention of letting them pass.  In fact, the captain tells them this>
 Captain: <in Romanian> Sorry sir, I cannot let you pass. 
 <see? He told them.>
 Aron: <in Romanian> What is the meaning of this? 
 Captain: Duke's orders, sir <yep, still in Romanian>
[12:29] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Yay! :D <congratulatory hugs>))
[12:29] arynwyn: (( Thanks! <hugs> ))
[12:30] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <wants to scream and beat on the captain but she manages to keep her mouth closed and merely look at Aron for what to do>
[12:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <doesn't do anything but glare until one of the guards tries to take the suitcases Elizabeth is holding.  Aron drops the suitcases he's carrying and pushes the man away hard> Nu!  [We are not staying here!] <The "nu" should be pretty obvious - the rest is Romanian of course.  The other guards start to step in, until...>
 STATIE! <the Duke's voice is loud, sharp and crisp.  The guards back up and stand at attention and the Duke walks out into the dawnlit courtyard.  He sighs and shakes his head like a disappointed teacher with a slow pupil and speaks to Aron in Romanian for a moment>
 Aron: <blinks and sort of eases down, looking confused>
 Tiranul: <looks at Elizabeth and clears his throat, then speaks to her in Latin> You will remain my guests for a little while longer, but you should not fret.  If nothing else, it does mean you are not being sent away, correct?  Come back inside. <smile>
[12:39] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she eyes him warily but nods> Thank you. <in Latin; she glances at Aron to see what is going on>
[12:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <Romanian, to the Duke>
 Tiranul: <tsks and nods at Elizabeth>
 Aron: <back to English> Forgive me, but you never seemed to give her a second thought before.  You were intending to send her back to England!  
 Tiranul: <says something in Romanian to Aron then nods at Elizabeth again>
 Aron: Ah, he wants me to translate.  My Latin is terrible, so it is hard for the three of us to speak together.  He says this was meant to be a...<thinks of how to translate it>...a lesson for me, and I have apparently failed.  This confuses me.
 Tiranul: <to Elizabeth, in Latin> Do forgive me for needing to use you as an instrument in my Son's education.  <he claps a hand on her shoulder.  the guards disperse, and he walks with her back inside, as Aron walks with them (some servants are coming out to get the suitcases)> Speaking of which, could you help him with his Latin?  His French is beautiful, but he really ought to know more of the classical languages than he does...
[12:46] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <still looks very, very confused> I... yes. Of course. What lesson did he fail?
[12:50] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: He was supposed to come to me and ask me to reconsider, to see if there were some way to resolve this issue.  I do not think there is one, of course - at least, not one without considerable risk - but...<he sighs> the boy is headstrong.  He thinks of himself instead of the family first.  This is a mistake, but hopefully he will learn.  He was given the gift so young....but it is my own fault.
 Aron: <clears his throat>
 Tiranul: Ah, now I leave my own Son out of the conversation <as they enter a sitting room, he recaps everything in Romanian to Aron>
[12:51] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she sits close to Aron, keeping her head down, listening and thoughtful and still somewhat angry> You are still sending me away?
[12:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Hm? <switching back to Latin easily> No, nothing is decided yet.  But we can discuss these things, hm?  Besides...<switches back to Romanian as he addresses Aron.  His voice takes on a tone that says he's instructing a foolish child>
 Aron: <frowns and says in English, for Elizabeth's benefit> He asks where we would have run to.  His men patrol all the borders.  If we had stayed in Tulcea, he would know it and he would know it if we left.  He, too, can partake of the Blood Oath - as you can see - and he is more powerful than I am.  Overtaking us would be easily done. <he sighs and replies in Romanian to the Duke>
 Tiranul: <leans back in his chair and looks thoughtful, then asks a short question in a very curious tone.  When Aron looks at Elizabeth and nods, once, decisively, the Duke also shoots her a glance and appears to consider this>
[12:57] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable, she unconsciously reaches out and takes Aron's hand, giving him a look asking "What did he say?">
[13:02] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <takes her hand and puts one of his own over it, but doesn't answer the look>
 Tiranul: <sighs and switches to Latin> Miss Reeves, it would seem I have underestimated my son's attachment to you.  So the question now is: do you love Aron enough to die for him?  He believes so.  And do answer freely; I will not attack you or cause you any harm if the answer is no.  Mortals are right to fear death.
[13:03] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <doesn't hesitate> Yes, I do. <she squeezes Aron's hand> I fear death but I fear being without Aron more. 
[13:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: You understand that there is no going back from this.  You cannot again be as you are now.  But I believe I can do more for you than Aron can in this particular regard.  He does not know enough.
[13:06] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she pauses> I have no hesitations about anything as long as I can be with Aron but... are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?
[13:07] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: That depends: what do you think I am suggesting? <he smiles>
[13:08] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <tightens her grip on Aron's hand> I assume you would not just kill me, and the only other option, as far as I know, is... to make me a vampire?
[13:12] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <nods> Aron knows how this is done.  He also knows he's not allowed to do it. <shooting his Son a look>  He is too young to have children yet.  I think having you as his child would be...less than ideal.  <he stretches> There is a way to make you as he is, neither his child nor mine.  This would be better.  You would still be outside the duchy's line of inheritance, which, forgive me, my dear, but you cannot have claim to, and things would be less...<he searches for a term, less because of trouble translating and more out of an uncertainty of how to phrase it.  in the end, he gives up and goes with>...incestuous.
 Aron: <his curiosity can't sit still any longer.  He asks in English> What are you two talking about?
[13:15] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she bows her head, thinking all of this over> I can not about the duchy, with all due respect my Lord. But if you are gracious enough to offer me this gift, not only of eternal life, but life with Aron, then I am grateful beyond words. <This is all said in Latin, of course>
[13:17] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: What is going on?
 Tiranul: <also temporarily ignores Aron, and continues in Latin> Out of curiosity, what was the Blood Oath you two took?  You obviously drank of the mixed blood, or he could not have been out in the sunlight. <he's smiling a little, just little upticks at the corners of his mouth>
[13:19] arynwyn: Elizabeth: That we would remain at each others' sides for as long as he made me happy. Though he does not know it, I added - for as long as I make him happy too. 
[13:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <smiles widely> It is a good Oath.  Well...now the only question is, should I arrange for a marriage at the same time?  Or would you like your honeymoon together to be while you are still mortal?
[13:23] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she looks at Aron, look somewhat dumbstruck by all of this, but also very happy> Aron... He is willing to make me like you, a vampire. So that we can be together. <she raises his hand to her lips and kisses it softly> He is also asking if we want to be married and if so, before or after the... transformation?
[13:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <his eyebrows go up, and he turns to his father with a flurry of questions in Romanian, so many that the Duke laughs before trying to calm his Son down and answer them.  When this is settled, Aron looks back at Elizabeth, cautiously optimistic> I...whether you do this before or after the marriage is up to you, he says there is a great deal you must learn before he will actually give you the gift, but...<swallows a little and smiles>...it is my fondest hope to have you by my side for as long as I continue in this life.
 Tiranul: <knowing enough English to know that wasn't it, he kicks Aron's chair as if to say "Get on with it">
 Aron: <clears his throat> Elizabeta, will you consent to marry me?
[13:28] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she smiles widely> It would be an honor and pleasure, Aron. <she kisses him, blushing>
[13:37] arynwyn: (( Will you be back? ))
[13:37] Chaos Angel Sox: ((prolly))

[01:34] Chaos Angel Sox: sure sure :3 
[01:41] Chaos Angel Sox: For easy copy pasta...
 
 Tiranul: <preparing to teach Vampire 101>
 Aron: <interviewing new blood-stewards, since now he'll be able to boff Elizabeth's brains out whenever he wants (and whenever she'll let him)>
[01:48] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <dutifiul student>
[01:49] *** "arynwyn" signed off at Thu Jun 04 01:49:51 2009.
[01:49] *** "arynwyn" signed on at Thu Jun 04 01:49:52 2009.
[01:49] arynwyn: (( >.> ))
[01:50] Chaos Angel Sox: ((stay!))
[01:50] arynwyn: (( Stupid thing. Didn't even know I'd dc'd. Did you get my post? ))
[01:50] Chaos Angel Sox: [01:48] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <dutifiul student>
[01:50] arynwyn: (( kk ))
[01:50] arynwyn: (( what are we going to do with them now? oh that reminds me. I totally wanna throw a chick at the duke. :3 ))
[01:54] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: <next night he starts the lessons.  Just because he *can* go out during the day for the moment, doesn't mean he's not used to being asleep during the daylight hours> I want you to understand that this has not happened in...ah....at least a century.  My memory is a tad fuzzy.  <naturally he's speaking Latin to her>  I am hoping that things will go better this time, and that is why I will teach you what is expected of you now - and tell you what will happen to you should you deviate.
[01:56] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she seems more comfortable around him now that he's allowing her to stay with Aron> Deviate...?
[01:59] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Oh, not in little things, but....<he sighs and sits down behind his desk (they're in his study)>...well, the last time this was tried, the...the newly-made vampire became a little power-hungry.  She...<he shakes his head>...it did not end well.  So we will make sure it does not happen again.
[02:01] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> I honestly do not think that will be a problem. Unless becoming a vampyr (she says it in Romanian, as she does always now) changes who I am, I don't really care about power.
[02:05] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: It...does make some changes, but...more in perspective.  And I had no reason to suspect that Madlaina would....<clears his throat> The most important thing is to realize that we are here to Protect the folk of the province.  They will provide you with what you need to live: their blood.  And they will provide you with what you need to live well: their taxes.
[02:06] Chaos Angel Sox: ((Sorry, distracted by Joe's reactions to Emperor's New Groove (he's never seen it before) ))
[02:06] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> I understand. 
[02:06] arynwyn: (( xD ))
[02:10] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: They will serve you but they are not your slaves.  And...especially going through the process you will, you will have great power....which is something we should specifically talk about.
 The Blood Oath is a power of the Tiranul line.  It...might be inappropriate for you to acquire this particular gift.  But we can grant you some other power, special for you.  Really it will be Aron's doing, but I am sure he will acquiesce to your every whim. <smile>
[02:11] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she frowns, confused> The Blood Oath isn't something every vampyr can do?
[02:14] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: No.  It is unusual for a power to follow in a line like this; normally each vampyr has their own.  But we are...different.  So...<leans forward, looking at her from across his desk> ...what would you like?  And do not ask for the power to make Aron deliriously happy because you already have that power.
[02:17] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <smiles and blushes> I am not sure. I didn't expect to be granted any sort of ability. <she thinks a moment, then looks back up> I really have no idea. Do you have any suggestions? 
[02:20] arynwyn: (( Grand Master Fishing :3 ))
[02:21] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: No.  Madlaina asked for the ability to fly; beyond that, I have never known any other power than the Oath.  But you have time to consider it, as I will not consent to this until I feel you are ready for it.
 
 ((Congrats!  Sorry, took me awhile to figure out what to give Madlaina))
[02:21] arynwyn: (( S'ok ))
[02:22] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she leans back> This seems so fantastical, asking for a power... She could really fly?
[02:25] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Indeed, and quickly.  It made catching her very difficult.
[02:26] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <shakes her head> That's incredible. I would ask for something... duller, probably. <smiles> I know I want something that will allow me to help people. <she shrugs> More than that, I am unsure.
[02:28] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: That is good to hear.  You think about it; perhaps Aron can help you decide, though I would suggest you be careful about just taking his ideas whole-cloth.  He'll probably want you to have some power of being spontaneously naked or the like. <chuckles>
[02:29] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <grins and blushes> What else do I need to know?
[02:30] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Any number of things, but perhaps we will start with blood-stewards: how to select them and how to treat them.  Because I believe your own experience is not...in line with our expectations? <he asks in a "Am I wrong?" sort of way>
[02:31] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods> I would not... <blushes deeper> I mean, I have Aron so... <clears her throat> Yes, how does one select a Steward?
[02:33] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Well...luckily Aron must do this very task.  So I shall turn you over to him for this. <he smiles and makes shooing motions with his hands> 
[02:34] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she stands and bows> I will let you know when I have come up with a suitable ability. 
[02:37] Chaos Angel Sox: Tiranul: Please do.
 
 Aron: <is in the ballroom.  There are great number of men and women there, all talking animatedly in Romanian, eating and drinking - it looks like a very low key sort of party, and Aron is mingling, chatting with the common folk>
[02:38] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she slips through the crowd, picking up a glass of wine as she does, then slides her arm in Aron's as she appears next to him, smiling, but not interrupting any conversation>
[02:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he blinks then, when he realizes it's her, smiles and kisses her.  The assembled crowd who sees it claps and cheers and generally makes a big deal of this> My Father let you out of lessons early, did he? I must buy him a gift to make up for the gift he has given me tonight. 
[02:41] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she blushes and returns the kiss, then sips her wine> You're supposed to instruct me on how to select a Steward. 
[02:44] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: Ah.  <he chuckles> Well, you don't just pick the most beautiful nun you come across normally.  <he grins at her and nods at the room> All these people are willing to give their blood to me.  I must choose two: one male and one female.  You noticed that on the days of your monthly cycle I drank less from you, yes?  Normally I would not take blood from a woman at all on that day.  But I was so unwilling to find a male steward...<he smiles at her and kisses her cheek> 
[02:45] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she looks around at all the people> It is amazing to see this. In England... well, you saw what it was like. 
[02:51] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: <he nods> But here, we protect our people.  We depend on them, so we treat them well.  I will narrow the group to be selected from down by talking to these people.  It is important to find someone trustworthy - some here may only be interested in stealing.  It is a sadness that not all are so nice, but most are.  A willingness to truly serve, a general...compatibility of spirit....these are useful.  Zola and Tarvek were very like friends to me.
[02:54] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she nods and drinks more wine> I hope my jealousy does not rear its ugly head. I've grown accustomed to you relying on me for sustenance. 
[02:56] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron: You'll get to pick stewards of your own once you're vampyr.  <he nuzzles her neck> Besides, as I believe I have told you, we are not allowed to sleep with our stewards.  Before you, I had no trouble keeping to this rule.
[02:57] arynwyn: Elizabeth: <she kisses his ear, smiling> I will just have to work extra hard to keep you happy, hm? 
 
 (( I am falling asleep >_< ))

[16:39] arynwyn: You didn't say whether or not you liked the idea of me throwing a guy at the Duke? :3 I wanna see if he's able to follow his own rules. xD
[16:40] Chaos Angel Sox: Part of me likes the idea of a woman for him, he's so heartbroken and lonely (and tragic and dark and angsty).  The rest of me isn't real sure.  I am wibbling on it.
[16:40] arynwyn: Okee. xD You think on it and lemme know.
[16:41] Chaos Angel Sox: Remember he was turned when he was older.  'course he's still in very good physical shape and he's a very....distinguished gentleman :3
[16:42] arynwyn: Yes, I know. We should make more of them like that :3
[16:42] Chaos Angel Sox: Aron being turned at 19 is...unusual ^_^; 
 
 <giggles> The Duke would say that more vampyr should be made like them xD
[16:43] arynwyn: :3
[16:43] arynwyn: He's cool.
[16:44] Chaos Angel Sox: I'm glad you think so.  x)
