Valeria:
Valeria was still on a high note after beating Vincent the other night, and was embracing her inner child...and beating up poor defenseless trees with a wooden great sword in the northern Philly woods, earbuds in and just sorta vibing to the music. Probably slashing in time to the music and pretending she's a superhero or something. We've all done it, don't pretend you haven't.
Titania:
Titania for her part spent a good long time watching her before taking the opportune moment to drop right between her and the tree catching the sword.
"Hey cutie. What did the trees do to you?"
Valeria:
She jumps in surprise, fumbling with the sword for a minute and almost dropping it. She takes the earbuds out of her ears.
"Holy fuck, did you just...where did you come from? Wait, how long were you watching?" A pause as things process. "Uh, was just vibing and the trees were on the way to that. Hi there Titania."
Titania:
Titania chuckles pushing the sword back and pointing up.
"I was out and heard you. Long enough to find the perfect time to drop in."
A little wave.
"Hey Ria."
Valeria:
She looks up, swirling the sword in a...sorta cool motion? Well to her. Titania's definitely seen better. It ends with her pretending to put it in a scabbard on her back...which she doesn't have so she's just kinda holding it there. Shhhh, just pretend.
"Yeah....somehow I should have guessed there were other people out here. Uh...you need anything or...just saying hi?"
Titania:
"Looks like you need a scabbard?"
She smiles leaning back on the tree. Now it's important to note she is only wearing a long black bathe robe. It very clearly shows the details underneath.
"My Haven is nearby."
Valeria:
"Yeah...just a practice sword. No scabbard or anything...but a cop won't look at me weird. I can just say 'cosplay' and they'll roll their eyes and move on. A real sword...not so much."
She raises her chin a bit to be respectful, pretending to not have seen anything.
"Oh uh...didn't mean to intrude. If I knew I would have gone somewhere else...sorry?"
Titania:
"You could always learn to turn into an animal."
Titania smirks seeing exactly what Ria didn't notice.
"Its fine. If I minded I would have made that clear not popped down to flirt with you."
Valeria:
"Thats...something I wanna work on soon I think...more Protean. I also...don't wanna focus on the physical disciplines too much cause I don't wanna get used to them and get fucked over in the Olympics."
She turns a bit, looking back at the distant city lights.
"Ah...gotcha. Um...why are you flirting with me out of curiosity?"
Titania:
She nods her head.
"Makes sense."
Then tilts it.
"Because your cute and fun and I enjoyed our night together and would like more."
It's actually genuine sounding. No games like half the time.
Valeria:
"Like...Resilience is great, definitely my favorite of the ones I know so far...but also I don't know my limits versus the Blood's limits."
She blushes just slightly, looking back at her.
"Uhhhh...I dunno. I shouldn't. You're nice and all...kinda, but I shouldn't."
Titania:
"We can always test your limits."
She moves her arms slightly so that the front of the gown just barely opens.
"Oh you shouldn't? But i know you want to? Which wins out."
Valeria:
Val closes her eyes.
"No, I shouldn't and I won't. I told Liv I wouldn't fuck ya, ok? No means no Titania."
She looks a tad guilty at letting this go on already.
"Uh...look, I'm sorry. She just said no, so I won't."
Titania:
"Aww poor little pet letting others control you."
She steps back though. Sinking her claws into the tree nearby.
"Its fine. I get it and shouldn't push. I'm just. Used to getting my way."
Valeria:
Val sputters, shaking her head.
"Shut up. That was...ouch. Jeez."
It hasn't yet dawned on her that she just told an elder to shut up.
Titania:
Then of course she steps back towards Ria.
"You did not just say that childe."
A low hissing escaping from her lips, fangs extending. Her gown falling open as she steps right up to Ria.
Valeria:
She blinks, taking a step back as Titania steps forward, eyes watching the fangs.
"I uh, what did I-"
Titania:
Titania moves then, eyes glazed over but still some trace of whatever humanity they have left.
Her hand reaching out to take Ria by the throat. To push her up against the tree.
"Say it again. SAY IT AGAIN. MAKE ME DO THIS."
Mouth wide a roar escaping her lips, a very inhuman one.
Valeria:
She cough's once, and glares. See, there's this fun thing about gymnasts where they are...insanely flexible. Despite getting grabbed by the throat, she shoves a hand up between her throat and the hand, which with the extra space she gets her throat out. Then the weird thing happens where she moves her hand in just the right way where it slips through the grasp, which by all means should hurt like a bitch. As she falls to the floor she just...keeps going, now beneath the ground in her Unmarked Grave.
Titania:
For Titania of course that isn't much of a obstacle. She punches down with all her night sending dirt flying in all directions.
Screaming at the top of her lungs.
"SAY IT AGAIN!"
Valeria:
Val of course gets ejected from her safe haven, eyes wide, and scrambling away.
"I don't even know what I said!!!"
Titania:
Titania takes her again by the throat holding her to a tree again.
Whispering with unbridled rage.
"Say it again. Tell me. To. Shut. Up."
Then roaring.
"SAY IT AGAIN."
Valeria:
She chokes, moving her hand in to be able to breathe.
"Do you...actually want me to say it? Okay then...shut up?" Malicious compliance but also like...no energy behind it.
Titania:
Ria could see the frenzy in her eye as she gets slammed again against the tree.
Then Titania reaches down and opens her own wrist putting it right in Rias face.
"Drink."
Valeria:
She looks a bit scared, but turns her face. Despite the pain, she's being defiant. But even that was quickly broken down as the Vitae began to run, eventually opening her mouth to drink, and to heal herself from the pain.
Titania:
Titania face is almost demonic but she strokes the side of Rias face as gently as she can.
"Good girl."
Valeria:
Val wants to cry, but she doesn't. Her bruises fade as she drinks, eventually lost in the high as she grabs the wrist. She's an addict being forced into her fix after all, does a Vitae addict really have a choice?
Titania:
The rage slowly fades from Titania as she drinks. Seeing those wounds heal. She is slowly set on the ground to enjoy her fix.
Another stroke to the face.
"Very good little pet."
Valeria:
She collapses to her knees...but still drinks. She was hurt pretty badly...and then the tears start. Val looks up at Titania, defiant but knowing she lost. Bad.
Titania:
Titania squats down.
"Now. Did you learn your lesson childe?"
Valeria:
Val finally stops drinking, looking ashamed.
"Watch my tongue...yeah...I'm sorry..."
She looks down, looking away.
"I thought...a childe was a vampire though? I'm...still a Ghoul."
Titania:
"I don't care right now. Your Guys project and he should train you better."
Valeria:
A subtle look of horror fills her face as she realizes what repercussions could happen to Guy.
"I- I'm sorry. I really am. I...was frustrated and shoulda shut up myself...please don't tell anyone...I won't do that again. I promise."
Titania:
A gentle pat to her cheek.
"Good girl. Now. I'm not going to tell anyone about this and your going to learn your lesson. Do you understand me?"
Valeria:
She nods, a bit shell shocked.
"What about...the Vitae...won't Guy know I drank from you?"
Titania:
"Only if you tell him. Get your fix from him next time you need it. No harm. No foul."
Valeria:
Val shakes, too many emotions. The Bond, the subtle feeling of betrayal, knowing she just did something incredibly stupid.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
Titania:
"Good."
She stands up pulling Ria with her.
"Now scuttle along home and make sure you behave next time."
Valeria:
She gets yanked to her feet, stumbling away. Making sure to grab her practice weapon and headphones from wherever they dropped.
Ohhhhhhh fuck....
Titania:
Titania for her part just melts into the woods.
"Do have a good night Ria dear."
Comes once she is out of sight.
