Welcome to Gaia! ::

Erik dried himself off quickly and put his clothes back on. "Prehaps I should burn you at a stake." He said. He strecthed the water was slightly colder than he thought. "And if you haven't noticed, i'm 28." He said dignified. "Now you can forget getting a present from me come the 25th." He said in more mock anger.

Erik mummered angrily under his breath. "You think your the only one hunter?" He placed his hand in too. His hand heated slightly, maybe even caught fire, but it didn't hurt. "We are no different, except you have no self-control." He put his hand in his mouth to taste the fire, it wasn't so good in his stomach. He put his hand back in the fire. "Not matter what you do, you can even kill me, but i will not get mad, your the only one here that does." He stopped for a second. "Haven't you noticed i've seen you glare at me, but all i've done was smile back?" He said mesmerized.

"Another death threat?" He asked. He showed her an expertly wraped present wrapped with a red tie. "That one was for you, but if you don't want it, i can show you now." He said. He'd taken pride in it. "Hand crafted, before you ask, it's not a bomb." He said.

"I am comfortable looking death in the eye, heck, i'm comfortable talking with him." He shrugged. "And beside's it's a one day thing after that day, i'll go back to hating you." He said with more pride. "Let me assure you, with your tempuratment, i doubt it will last a day." He said. "Plus, there's two, so i give it two days." He said.

Walking into the inn, Cerberus found it there were only two other people within the inn's walls: the ninja man and the vampire woman. Once again feeling the urge to get futher away from the vampire, Joseph pushed it off to the side and sat down in one of the nearby chairs, opening his book to the page he left off on.

'I do hope Mr. Knightsoul will be alright. I wonder what's going on with him? I'd ask HQ to look into the matter, but they'd just stonewall me again.'

Angeles continued to look at the present before turning to look at Erik. She reached for and took the present from Erik's hand and then twisted in the chair and set it under the tree before turning around and glaring at Erik again, remaining silent, already regretting her decision, "when you came into the inn, after rescuing your brother from your clan, you were wounded, covered in blood and unconscious. You were easy prey then," her eyes glowed slightly, "I carried you and your brother into the medical room and left before I acted on my instincts to drink you dry."

She then looked away from Erik and back into the fire.

"Because I admired you," she said, trying to sound distant, "I admired your devotion to your brother," she could not explain more beyond that, leaning slightly so that her chin rested on her knuckles as she watched the flames dance, "I told Zulma not to tell you because I did not need you to dwell on my one act of kindness, so that you continued to hate me so that you would not be confused as to why I was still trying to make you leave."

"Does it matter?" asked Angeles turning to look at Erik, her green eyes reflected the fire as well as his visage.
