Emiste listened to both of them patiently. She still didn't quite agree, and whether that was because what she knew had been drilled into her for 8 years or not, she didn't know....and then Vagus was kissing her...and everything flew straight out of her head and it didn't matter anymore anyway because here he was accepting her as she was, something no one had ever done before.....and surprisingly she found herself kissing him back, her eyes flashing deep purple with the emotion of it, then stabilizing to blue as she pulled away, blushing slightly.
She turned to crymzon, calmed by Vagus, and spoke to hime in an almost friendly tone - "You are new yet, you will learn many things." She wasn't really talking about his personal tastes when it came to hunting, it was just a statement, almost a reminder to herself more than anything that while she may find him naive now, not all vampires were "born" as she was.

He nodded smiling.
"I might be new but I'm a quick study. From what I've seen so far people change when they are turned. I just don't understand why. It's like they're thinking that vampires are perceived as monsters so they have to become one. Thats a ridiculous theory. The most important thing has to be staying true to yourself.
I doesn't matter what I learn or how unpleasant things may become I'll never be anything but myself."
There wasn't any sign in his words that he was trying to convince himself of this, simply plain honesty. He tapped the side of this nose and leaned into the two.
"Plus I know this little secret that I'll let you in on. If you annoy enough people into liking you, you'll never feel, sad or lonely. That goes for us too. If "other" groups don't like that, well it's just tough isn't it? Plus look at you two.
For all your experience, you're sitting here kissing a Werewolf, is that one in the vampires handbook or did you just learn that it was alright to follow your own impulses?
There's way to much dogma and not enough heart in vampire society."
He sat back against the tree placing his hands behind his head.
"But hell what do I know? I'm only new..."

Emiste's eyes narrowed. WHY his words had struck a nerve with her she didn't know, but she suddenly wanted to scream at him. Kissing a werewolf. Well, yeah, she was, but until tonight she had never really met one - her battles had always been with her own kind, ironically, and yet here was Crymzon telling her again what Vagus had said....wasn't he suppossed to be her enemy?
"I was taught many things, but until tonight I was never told I was suppossed to hate werewolves." she stood up suddenly, angrily. Walking a few steps away from both of them, then turning around suddenly to face them with eyes the color of fire narrowed into slits.
" I know only two things I hate." she spat, enraged, but not really understanding why she felt so vehement, " I hate people telling me how I am suppossed to act, what I am suppossed to be." she said, now pacing off her anger.
And I hate who I am she thought, but did not say out loud, angry tears threatening to spill out of her eyes, still a bleeding red color. She stopped, faced away from them, and face up the the sky, letting the cool night air blow over her face, and dry the tears before they came spilling across her cheeks...

He spoke evenly looking between his new companions.
"This is what I mean about dogma. I believe the general school of thought is that the two races need for one reason or another to be enemies. I've been taught otherwise. It seems that the family I've been born into have very similar views as my own. Which is probably why they adopted me.
I'm not telling anyone how to think or act or what they should believe. This is my entire point. It isn't about being told it's about being given room to form your own opinions. Free thinking of course comes with a price. My family have a lot of enemies but we're together the only alternative is to do your own thing and be alone. I know what I'd prefer.
I'm only making observations, asking questions that I believe to be rhetorical. One thing we all have in common is that we are different ... now explain that one?"
He laughed, standing an walking to a few feet behind the female vampire. His voice was gentle.
"I would suggest we make a promise to each other to stay that way."

Adam got up with Crymzon but instead of stopping he walked right up to Emiste and embraced her. "Along with that we should promise to let go of the anger. I don't know your past but whatever's wrong we'll fix it. You and I, together. I'll give you the strength to do so just don't be ashamed to open up. Didn't I just tell you that I love you the way you are? You seem to think that you're some kind of monster. Well let me ask you this, 'Would a monster be befriended by two great guys like Crymzon and I? Would a studly man like me fall for her?' "
He stopped there for he was certain that she knew the answer.

Emiste wriggled in his hold, trying to free herself, unsuccessfully, still angry. "You don't know." she said, " I don't even know anymore." she gave up struggling, she could have gotten loose, but she was tired of fighting him, "You don't even know me." she said softly, "Not to mention I bet you fall for lots of women." She was seriously starting to doubt her sanity. She needed to recollect herself....and it was approaching dawn.
She sighed, "Regardless, unless you want me to die tonight, I need to find a hideout." She threw a glance in Crymzon's direction, "and I'm pretty sure YOU haven't had enough of this life to want to die yet."

OCC: Well, I'm done for the day. Time for me to hit the hay. I'll post again in the morning.
"You don't even know me." she said softly, "Not to mention I bet you fall for lots of women."
"Perhaps I do, but that doesn't make my feelings for you any less real," Adam replied just as softly. It was true that he had many girlfriends, however, precious few had such a hold on his heart like Emiste did. He was even considering allowing her to call him Adam, something he let only one other do. When she said about the sun Adam released her and took her hand. "My rental is just outside the forrest. You can stay there with me." Leading her down the path he called to Crymzon over his shoulder. "If you don't have a place nearby to stay you can room with us today. Just don't get too nosy when the heat goes up."

(OOC: ok - night!)
Emiste was tired. She needed to rest, and there was no way she was making it back to town tonight....she nodded once to Vagus, allowing him to take the lead holding her hand. She remained silent, thinking as they walked. She didn't even know who she was anymore. The night had started out peaceful...how had it come to this? She was confused, and too exhausted to try to sort through her confusion at the moment. So she allowed herself to be led by the hand, something she would never allow under any other circumstances. She really hoped she wasn't giving a false impression of herself....but then, on the other hand, she didn't much care if she was.....Vagus was a wanderer like herself. Chances were in a week neither of them would be in London...

OCC: Looks like it time to switch to Private Homes. I know saying this might be out of order but everytime I join a thread no one tells me when it's over. I'm always left talking to empty space and that pisses me off.
Adam didn't wait for Crymzon's response, while the vampire was a good guy quite frankly Adam was more worried about the lovely Emiste than him. If his friend wanted to tag along he'd have to catch up.
"My place is just ahead, won't be long now."
OCC: I started the thread but didn't really post much because I have to get to work. Crymzon if ya joined us I'll change the heading. I don't really care if ya join or not, I go with the flow. As for Emiste, you'll have to take it up with her.

He nodded to the Werewolf, he certainly didn't want to be around when day struck, and he was to far from home to make it back in time. This seemed like a fair enough offer. Blaze would understand, he just needed to remember to let her know he was safe.
He jogged up beside them, slowing when he drew level. He grabbed a phone from his pocket and sent a quick message as he was talking.
"I guess I'm with you. Until tomorrow night at least. I'll never make it home before daybreak and no I don't much fancy being dust. There is a good chance I'll have to do some work tomorrow. We're hunting a lunatic and I'm surveillance, amongst other things. I might need a laptop though. All my gear is back in my workshop.
I'm just letting you know so you don't think I'm preparing anything nasty. I wouldn't do that."
His mobile bleeped and he read the message with a smile.
"Oh good. I'm in trouble again. I'll go back when she's cooled off ..."
