Titania was pacing in her creepy little courtyard. She was only wearing a bath robe and kept tying it shut then untying it.
She looked actually on edge for the first time.
Vincent came the usual way, suit and tie like last time, call it a fashion statement, power move, liking to clean up for his Ghoul, it's just a new look. However where he was calm last time he's agitated, pissed, and more then a little upset, but recalling the last time Titania went beserk mode on him, he's trying to keep his cool.
"Titania," he calls out as he approuches the court yard, "You look well, a little stressed, but well."
"I look hot and like the asshole that fucked then tempted your friend."
She shrugs. Stopping her pacing. Chewing at her lip for a long moment before speaking.
"Sorry."
"Yes," he says, "Ok, we're getting that out of the way then," he raises an eyebrow, "On question, did you fuck her because she was my friend, was that all just some way to get to me?" he asks, not accusingly. . .ok maybe a little
"It seems best to start with the most important conversation."
She thinks for a long moment.
"In the beginning. Yeah, thought it would be funny to watch how pissed you would get. By the time we actually got to fucking. It wasn't even on my mind."
She pushes that white hair back. Almost a blush, if she could.
"Ok," he says, taking a breath, "So you wanted to piss me off but enjoyed a good work out," he sighs, "That brings me to my next question," he says, "Why, I get it, I'm new, I'm immature, I've made some dumb decision," he says but then looks to her, "If that's it I get it, but if you have some kind of problem with me personally, more than the fact I've been a dumb kid, then just say it to my face, because I'm having alot of issues at the moment and I don't need some hatred drama added to it," he makes his way to one of the ruins, sits down and taps the spot next to him for her to sit, "You said I have to grow up, so let's talk like adults, ok."
"Yeah. It was pretty good too."
Another pause. Someone is actually thinking lots tonight.
"Truthfully? Because I'm an asshole and pushing people around is the only control I have in this world. Because I don't know how to make friends but I know how to push everyone away."
"Well. . .that's an honest start," he says, "Let's work from that, why push me away, I'm giving you my blood, it's in your favor, your have all the power here, so why fuck that up?"
"Because you can't stop coming back. As hard as I push we have a deal. You give me Vitae."
There is a shrug and she looks away.
"So, you want to make me hate and despise you even though I have to honor my end," he chuckles, "Fuck I must be a masochist," he mutters, "And whay, that's some kind of power move on your end. . .so, what about Bones, why not torment them?" he asks, "Is it because you truly love them, makes you feel human?"
"Because they are stronger than me. They can kill me. Turn me to dust if they want to. I dont know why but, it makes me feel. Normal. For want of a better word."
She jumps up on one of the little ledges robe being adjusted to cover herself.
"Ive been a fighter a long time. Something I cant kill. It does weird things to the mind. Do I love them? I dont know. I think so."
"Ok, that's a good start," he sighs, "Listen, I don't know why but I care about you, enough that I want to help you not feel like shit about yourself," he admits, "I don't know if it's lust, some weird caretaker complex or the need to have some parental/sire figure but I want to help and clearly you don't want to be the asshole you make people think you are." he collects his thoughts, "So, you love Bones because you have someone you see as an equal then?"
"I dont know why you care either. Maybe you arent as much of a dick as you think you are?"
There is a pause. "I cant be like a Sire or parent to you. Im not ready for that. But yes. I want to learn to make friends."
"I think so. There is probably something in there that they remind me of, my last friend, made it easier to open up to them."
he raises an eyebrow, "And what happened to this last friend?" he asks, "Are they around or did something happen, how long ago was it?"
"They burnt in the war. I last really interacted with them in the 1600's, saw them briefly in the early 1800's before they. Before. When they were burnt for being of the Crone."
"Let me guess, the bible bangers with fangs?"
"I think so yeah. Back then, it was all of them. None of the Covenants let us exist without persecution. It was us against the world."
"So, back in the day, the Circle was the persecuted one. . .why, what where they scared of?" he asks, a intrest in the Circle has been growing of late on his side
"Cruac. What we can do with Blood. What we can do with what is beyond this world."
A click in her throat and Mei crawls up her side. "What we can take from beyond."
"The blood magic right," he says, "So, they don't like Cruac cause idiots fear what they don't understand," he nods, "Are. .. are members of other covenants allowed to. ..you know, observe Crone stuff. . .I want to learn about the faith I guess, like I said, undeath makes one question atheism but I'm not down with the J-man."
"Yeah. And it depends really. Its not much to watch though. Its all sexual and lustful and primal. Its not as structured as the Ordo."
"You do realize if anything that's convincing me more right?" he laughs, "Those three things are intrests of mine, so if their's a faith based on it sign me up." he chuckles
"Im not trying to convince you. I'm just telling you. If I was trying to convince you I'd be doing a much better job of it."
As she says that opening her robe slightly revealing nothing underneath.
"Now I say its all sexual and lustful and you look at my gorgeous body and think about me dancing to exhaustion naked in the woods."
he nods, "So it's like ecstatic practices. . .but with blood and fangs," he says, "I'm planning on rising in the Estate, not fully joining the Crone but can their be a way I can attend stuff like an Ally?" he asks, not bothered by the appeal and not realing paying attention, trying to maintain eye contact
"Probably. Its not me you'd have to ask though."
"And who do I have to ask then?" he asks, "I want to get in touch with my spiritual side and the Circle seems like it has something going for it."
"One of the higher ups. I'll let them know your looking."
"Thanks," he says, "So, you know now you need to ease up on the 'boss bitch' act, particularly the fact your not focusing on the 'boss' aspect?"
"Hmm?"
A tilt of her head.
"What do you mean?"
"You want people to not mess with you," he says, "I get that, let people know whose in charge, but by doing so you alienate," he describes, "Their has to be a way to show a position of strength by inspiring some fear, but not hatred," he says, "To maintain dread but not bully."
"I dont really need to is the problem. You know what your dealing with when you feel my beast. That really should be enough. No?"
"It should," he nods, "So you just want to stop bullying folks?"
"Yeah. Stop needing to bully to feel in control."
She chuckles.
"Guess I've got to learn to not be in control all the time."
"Maybe you should," he says, "And Bones could be a great way for that, let yourself feel vulnerable around them, dear god when did I turn into the relationship advice giver." he laughs, "So, I'm full to be honest, if ya want a good drink then drink deep tonight, and I'm getting a Herd so that should help." he looks up to the moon, "It's weird, just by meeting one person and giving them blood, my fortune seems to have skyrocketed."
"Okay. How do you want it? Like normal or like last time?"
he blushes a bit, "I. . .I really enjoyed last time." he admits
She steps forward not bothering to do up her robe and pushes him into a wall taking him in the neck. Bitting a few times before starting to drink.
he gasps at it again, moaning from the sensation, his eyes widen and pulse quickens, despite himself his hands go to her, exploring and caressing as she drinks
She let's him explore. Taking far longer than she needs to. Enjoying it. Enjoying him enjoying it.
he pants, enjoying every sensation of the feeding, enjoying the feeling of her skin, "Why does it have to feel like this," he moans, a part of him hating himself
She eventually finishes pulling back and giving him a little kiss on his neck.
"Because it does. Its fun and sexual and good."
She shrugs.
"This. . ." he breathes, "This is just part of our deal right," he says, poor bastard's having an attack of morality, "It's nothing, just feeding." he says, to convince himself in all honesty
"That really depends on you dear. It can be whatever you like."
"What I like to be faithful to Avery," he says, "They hate you, so I can't cross that line," he says, "Feeding is just that, an exchange of blood, if it feels good then that's just the effect of it," he says, and yet not letting go of her arms, "I'm still a good person. . .right?"
"Im really not the one to answer that question Vinny. You can take me if you want. Thats up to you. I can be rougher in the feedings if you want. Its all up to you."
"Sometimes, I really hate my life," he sighs letting her go, "I'm not going to do that," he says, "But I do want to help you, maybe making peace with Avery can be apart of the process?" he suggests, "Can you try to work for that, to be able to apologize to them?"
She shrugs hopping back up on the wall. Looking atleast a little in the mood.
"Sure. I can do that. I can apologize for pushing at their issues and for just being an asshole. I'm not getting rid of Columba though."
"Just. . .try not to summon them when their around then?" he suggests, "I'll try to play peace maker." he says, how much of this he's doing for peace or his own lust is anyone's guess, "And talk to the Circle boss for me, I want to be an Ally to the Crone." he says, walking off to the clearing, "I want to be your ally, so don't fuck my friends to piss me off."
"Can I fuck your friends because they are cute?"
"If you do don't tell me about it," he shouts, walking back to the city
