Swinging Along the Night(OPEN)

[Danille Greyson]

As if reading Altair's mind Danille spoke somewhat quietly. "I saved her when she was a pup that is why she follows me"She said to both guys. Mystic had laid back down near Danille feet and went to sleep. The wolf had finally concluded that there was no threat so she decided to rest. The dark haired vampire had calmed slightly but she was still on edge. She was a little shocked on how easy going the other vampire was. Danille wasn't ready to give her name away to either way just yet. He may be a vampire but she was always on guard.

As for the vampaneze she was feeling a little calmer. Danille could feel some of the tension ease away as she thought quietly to herself. Swollowing her guard down she decided to give her name. "I'm Danille and this here is Mystic"She finally said to both of them.

[Shendeth Evans]

When the other two introduced themselves, Shendeth had no problem doing the same. He gave them a shadow of a smile, or at least he didn't look hostile anymore. In such a lonely life he had found that the latter really did grow tiresome after a while. And so he did something unusual, but then he was an unusual person himself. Maybe it had been redundant for Altair to announce that he was a vampire, when they could all tell, but in a second he decided to do the same. He didn't have anything else to add but the introductions would suffice for now.

"I'm Shendeth and I'm a half human."

And he dared anyone to disagree with truth. He did not associate with the vampaneze, barely knew their customs and certainly did not follow a single one. If he had to take a side in the war he would be with them only out of dislike for the vampires; if he did have to be one of the two, he wouldn't want to be the latter. It was in his blood to kill when he fed and he felt no remorse for it, almost enjoyed it, but that was the only thing. So why should that be the one part that made someone inhuman? At least he had to, he had a reason, unlike full human serial killers, and they were what they were. It made him see, and understand death. A constant reminder of mortality, and mortality was an integral part of being human.

[Altair Silvera]

Altair kept a friendly smile upon his face though his thoughts ran circles. He had no idea why he even wanted associate with the half-vampaneze. Sure he was only half and sure he wasn't hostile at least for now but his body said leave or kill. He surely had no desire to end such a young life though it was possible for him to be older than Altair but he doubted it. He should have just left but something also told him to stay. The longing for company was there after being without some for a while especially Bijou which tore him to pieces. He needed to train alone and had set out to do so as well as taking a break from feeding from her as she so stubbornly desired. The damage was done and he'd roll with the punches and not succumb to them. He saw the pauses in both of them the hesitation towards his friendly approach. He understood why though he kinda expected to get less from Danille. But finally she spoke but first of the wolf which he had been so interested in.

He was not surprised by her answering his silent question being within the company of a telepath did that to you. You no longer if people could hear your thoughts nor payed attention if they did though he had this mindset before. But she finally answered him with her name as well and his smile grew wider. "Nice to meet you Danille and I guess I'll say hi to Mystic when she wakes." Altair listened as a deeper voice spoke and he turned from Danille to Shendeth. Altair lost some of his happy tone and his more serious one came to the front. Not as to intimidate but as to show how serious his words were. It was rather subconscious more than anything more so an old habit he picked up from an old dog. "It's nice to meet you as well Shendeth. I hope we can put aside the differences as vampire and half-human. I wish not to condemn you automatically as 'The Enemy' just yet."

That was which Altair would be able to come as close as to saying he would be giving him a chance as he would dare. But he wished not to shame himself with unnecessary hate. The boy had shown no ill will as of yet so he wouldn't be a lesser man and show him any. Altair nodded to Shendeth before removing his serious exterior and smiling again. "So what should us not so much human creatures of the night do on such a fine night. Its quite the coincidence that we ran into each other like this we shouldn't let it go to waste. Did you two have any ideas?"

[Danille Greyson]

Danille listened to the guy speak. She was always wary even of her own kind. Growing up with just Anya and always away from civilization did that to a person. She heard the friendliness towards her change to serious as Altair went to speak to Shendeth. If a fight happened to break out Danille wouldn't intervene because she didn't believe in a unfair fight. The dark hair half-vampire was careful to watch both men. Now knowing both names from each newcomer made her relax just slightly. She liked to know exactly WHO she was talking to.

Mystic was sound asleep, but her ears were up an alerted just in case something bad was going to happen. Danille learned when to stay or leave by watching the black beast at her feet. Mystic had saved her life more then she could count. Once she had learned more things from Anya she had been able to sense the dangers out herself. Even with names Danille wasn't planning on giving out more information then needed. As old as Anya was Danille was sure she probably knew Altair. After all Anya is a general and had to know most to all vampires.

Danille sat still on the swing feeling another warm breeze. She was glad for the warmth it seemed to edge the serious around them away some.

[Shendeth Evans]

Well, it looked like there was no evading the issue of their differences after all. Shendeth silently looked the vampire guy in the eyes for a moment as if trying to read them. When he did get around to replying it was in an equally serious tone, but stiffly accentless as always. "I hope you can too. I don't care what you are, only what you prove yourself to be." Not everyone could help what they were. The only problem was that if he wasn't careful, Shen could prove himself a dangerous rogue. He didn't want to do that; he wanted the vampires to pick up on what he said and forget it themselves. The half-human needed friends, not more dead bodies. If a fight started it would be one of the vampires who started it, though he would give them absolutely no reason to. "And I don't know." he spared a half-second's glance at Danille who so far hadn't said anything else.

[Altair Silvera]

Altair recognized the half-human as he without really saying it said he wouldn't mind the friendship. It would be a little work for Altair to let the past go when he was around Shendeth but he would try. But he realized that his chance to break the ice failed miserably and he let out a long sigh. What could three teenage looking not fully human creatures of the night do tonight. Well there were a few things he remembered he liked doing as a human. Altair slid his hands into his pockets and as he felt and heard the rustling of money that he thankfully grabbed ideas popped into his head. "Well why don't we go catch a movie, or go bowling, or skating, or to the mall. I'm pretty sure you remember what that was like when you were with friends." Altair straightened up and put on a goofy smile. "I say we go out and have some fun while we can. You never know what could happen tomorrow so make the most of today. Just because we're not as human anymore doesn't mean we gotta let go of the things in our past that made us smile."

[Danille Greyson]

Hearing the offer by Altair Danille stood up which caused Mystic to jump up. Her hand still clenching the chain of the swing. She wasn't one to watch movies or hang out with friends. Danille's other had fell to the top of Mystic's head. She had a hard life growing up and not many friends. The dark haired woman shook her head slightly" I do not think that any places are open this late at night." She pulled her cloak a little tighter around herself as the wolf at her feet walked in a circle around Danille's feet.

To admit that Danille was not the friend type probably would not surprise anyone. Just by looking at her anyone could tell she was not the type that most could get along with. Danille only had Anya and Mystic growing up. Not one time had the pale woman really have any other friends due to her trust issues.

[Shendeth Evans]

Shen was about to tell Altair that he was up for anything, but instead turned to Danille when she spoke first. Did she never go out at night like this? It wasn't that late yet. Maybe she simply didn't like the kind of ideas the other vampire was getting at. "The movies sound fine to me." In that case she wouldn't have to talk to them at all, just sit there quietly. Surely the wolf could be left on its own for just a couple hours. "What else would you have us do? There's always somewhere." The half-human still did these things once in a while, or at least went into town at night. Not going out was fine if she had a better idea. He clearly wasn't a friendly person either but he still liked to have fun, people like that needed more of it.

[Altair Silvera]

Altair had to agree with Shendeth on that point. "Yeah the movies should be going till like midnight maybe later depending on the place. I'm pretty sure we could get to one if we get moving. Besides like Shendeth said we'll be able to find something to do. Being up inside vampire mountain forever isn't the most pleasent of things. Sure its fun but being out roaming the towns is way more fun." Altair looked to Danille with almost pleading eyes like an attention starved kid. It would be nice to have a friend his age at vampire mountain he didn't mind the older vampires but he felt they were out of his league sometimes. A peer or two would be a good thing to have to end his lonely streak.

[Danille Greyson]

Danille let out a silent sigh as she decided she didn't have anything better to do. "Alright movies it is"She said to the boys before looking at Mystic. She knew the wolf would be waiting outside the movie theaters when Danille was done with the movie. The vampire's blue eyes looked at Altair"I wouldn't know about vampire mountain. I haven't went yet." With that she patted Mystic's head and pulled her cloak over her tighter. Sliding her hands into her pocket she waited to make sure everyone was ready to leave.

The wolf stood beside her friend carefully watching both guys as it seems she was trying to figure out who they were in a way. Danille wasn't so use to hanging out with people. All she is use to is being on her own or with Anya. For the most part Anya always had her training just to protect herself. She was always learning new skills and techniques. This was gonna be new for her to get use to.
