Elijah sighed heavily as he leaned back against the tree he was sitting in. The limb was a good twenty feet off the ground, giving him a decent vantage point for a good part of the forest. He sat there, one leg hanging down as he gingerly applied the ice pack to his eye. The cross-dressing vampire had not been having a good time of it lately, losing a battle with an annoying vampire hunter-wannabe, and two rounds to a druid.
The vampire scowled as he thought about the druid. What had he said his name was? Hell, had even told Elijah his name? He couldn't remember, but he blamed getting his head knocked around for that. Not that it mattered, it wasn't the druid's name that was bugging Elijah, it was the damn druid himself.
Elijah sighed heavily. Not that it mattered, he doubted he'd see the druid again, this wasn't the monochromatic rabbit's usual haunt. At least, he didn't think it was.

Elijah sighed heavily. "Dammit," he muttered, "why must life be so damn complicated?" Clanless, with no real chance of joining one, constantly being accused of being a drama queen (which he wasn't, dammit!), and now this druid he'd tried to beat twice was slowly wrapping the vampire around his finger! He winced. If his family were to find out... dear gods, the fallout would cause a whole new war!
"Dammit!" He screamed, slamming his fist against the tree trunk. Maybe he should move. Like, to the other side of Faetasia... in the middle of a desert... a thousand feet underground... surrounded in cement.

Elijah blinked in astonishment, tongue flicking across suddenly dry lips. He opened his mouth to answer, but the answer hung in his throat. It was in his nature to flirt, to insinuate, spread honeyed words around, but this?
"I-," dammit, the words were sticking in his throat! Was it always like this, trying to tell the truth? No wonder he preferred just flirtation and insinuation. He picked another thorn from his hip and flicked it aside. "I-... don't know." he admitted. "I-... I don't know, dru-, Crackle." He took a deep, slow breath as he leaned against the tree. "I'm... what do you mean, at your beck and call?" He couldn't admit that he was feeling the same about the druid, and was astonished that he felt Elijah had him wrapped around his finger.

Elijah groaned as he slumped against the tree and slide down until he was sitting. Why? Why why why? A druid of all things!
"I-... don't know what to do around you," he whispered, staring at the ground between his feet. "Why do I think about you, even after you've just kicked my a**? And ruined my dress? It isn't s'posed to be like this. We're supposed to be trying to kill each other."
The vampire looked up, his usual smug expression gone, a look of utter misery replacing it. "I don't... the truth doesn't come easy to me, drui-, Crackle. It's in my nature, it's what I am. But... the truth is, I-... have... something, and you're the cause."
