Welcome to Gaia! ::

She stopped rubbing her temples and sighed. "It seems I may be drawn to your kind. I can't help it." It was strange speaking so calmly to her brother's killer, but what more was she to do? She was in no shape to handle a sword tonight, that much she knew.

"As for that explanation, I'll hold you to that once I can understand it. Tonight is a night for clearing the mind and calming down. As a little girl, you never really grieve, you just remember." Asuna sighed and went back to rubbing her temples, that head ache was definitely going to make its way to her soon.

At first she struggled in his arms, but then her heart pounded again and she stopped struggling. As she thought when in the cemetery, he was not going to hurt her tonight. She rested her head against his shoulder and took in a deep breath, she could smell the blood on him, and he was surprisingly warm. Perhaps it was because he had just fed.

Once she was set on the bed she rolled over and looked at the blinds on one of the windows. The room spun for a moment before she passed out. Her dreams were fitful, and she tossed and turned throughout the night, at one point her sword fell from her along with the bag and crashed to the ground. She woke up with a small scream of terror. "A-a dream... it was just a dream...

She pulled herself out of bed, and grabbed her things, latching them to her waist once more. Whatever amount of sleep she had managed to get seemed to have helped greatly. She could definitely handle a sword now. When she reached the door she stopped, he could have killed her while she slept. She had left herself weak and open to that. Killing him here and now would make her feel less justified. With a sigh she walked out the room door and placed a hand on her hip.

"It would be lovely if you stopped doing things that kept me from killing you." she shook her head and plopped down on one of his couches. For being such a young hunter, she wass quite brave.

Asuna watched him making his way around his home, was he pacing? Why was he trying to explain things to her. Either he was trying to get her off guard or having some major internal conflict. "Would it make you feel better if I put my things on the other side of the room? she said sighing. After all she still needed some things answered before he would die. Besides, if he tried to attack her while she was unarmed, she had a secret weapon. Her brother had made sure of that.

She held the gun in her hand, not surprised that he knew that she was still protected. "When I was little, I looked up to you. My brother often spoke of the vampire whom he came to call a friend. I thought he was foolish for being so friendly with one that he hunted. Though I never recalled seeing you. That night, when my brother didn't come home, when they found his body in the rain, covered in his own blood. I didn't even cry. I couldn't. My mother went insane and my father hung himself. I was sent to an orphanage. In a sense, you ruined my life. Which is why I became a hunter."

Asuna sounded so calm at the moment. She took off the sword and tied the bag to it sliding it across the room. She reclined on his couch and looked up at the ceiling. Her boots were still on and her dress fell over the side of the cushions. It was a good position for thinking. "Nobody explained anything to me. My first kill was an accident you know. He tried to kill me, I grabbed the nearest weapon and managed to... well... it doesn't matter now, but then I realized humans were not defenseless against your kind."

Asuna shook her head and sighed, "What kind of vampire are you? I am the worst possible person to have in your house. A hunter. And someone who has been waiting to take your life for a while now. Why don't we just have a cup of tea and talk about the recent whether patterns while we're at it." So Aiden had gotten the pendant for her, he probably had no idea what it's real importance was, but then why bring it to her. "you are the most baffling and interesting target I have ever come to know. No wonder my brother liked you so much. You are insane, just like him." This made her smile. She missed Jeremiah deeply and would have loved to know more about his hunting life. He was great at home, but what kind of person was he if he was involved with such strange people?

She sighed and looked longingly at the pistol before putting it down, "I can't attack you if you don't fight back..." there was great worry in her voice. The one vampire she had been searching for was being so... uncharacteristic. She expected a blood thirsty flirtatious idiot. When what she got was a surviving gentleman.

"I am Jeremiah's little sister. Whether or not you killed him for good or bad... you took him away from me." she set the gun on the table in front of her. If she continued to stare at his possesions, and think about him in such deadly ways, it would really get to her. She could already feel her eyes beginning to water and quickly dabbed at them turning away.

Asuna shook her head slowly. She had always seen Jeremiah as a strong person, death would not be a way of escape for him. No way. "Why would he ask you to take his life from him Aiden..." It was more of a statement than a question. She couldn't see him begging for anything, unless it was forgiveness from someone he loved.

Taking the mug in her hands, she took a few sips before setting it down again. Nothing was adding together for her. She wanted things to be simple, but they were quite far from that.
