"Now now don't go thinking I would lie to you, for that would be the last thing I would do. As fantastic as it seems...yes glowing flora. Also flora which only thrive at night." Lucas stopped to consider what else was different between the two kingdoms.....well.....one he was definetly going to keep to himself. Akira didn't need to know that particular detail even if she didn't end up believing it. "There are a fair few similarities but we are still our own kingdom with our own traditions and other practices. Runemeth has been around for quite awhile so our society is well established more so then most I believe.", he started explaining again until there was the clatter of metal on stone. The pair had come to where their cooridoor branched off to one side to meet another intersecting it. It was from this cooridoor intersecting their own where the noise had come from. It was from this hallway which the female heir directed Lucas's attention to....and where he noticed two figures standing together in the hall a ways down. One the queen thanks to his companion's identification of her, but the other.....surely his eyes were failing him. Was that man really....?

Taking Akira's arm, he made it appear as though he had been escorting her through the palce holding her arm. "Let us find out. If it is I should introduce myself no?"

Aralynn l human l location-Emberelic, royal palace l tagged-Alejandro/Adrian, Akira, Lucas
The human queen didn't have time to react to the change in her friend at the sight of the dainty weapon she withdrew. Or rejoice in the fact he had said he would stay with her as long as possible. At least not with the dark haired vampire's sudden odd behavior. Feeling worry for her friend rise in her core, the blonde took a step while reaching out to put a calming hand on Al's arm. "Al?", Aralynn asked quietly searching the male's face before turning in the direction he was looking, "Talk to me please and explain what you mean by company. Wait.....Akira?" Taking a few steps away from Al turning her back to him, "Akira!", she calles louder down the hall.

Fallon l pureblooded vampire l location-Runemeth, Konan's home l tagged-Konan
Fallon was silent the remainder of the way on the return trip to Konan's. Finally when the pair reached his friend's dwelling, Konan wouldfeel a hand around her waist. "If thats the case then-", the vampire said before the canine owner would find her face and his pressed together in liplock.

The dark haired vampire noticed how quiet Fallon was, but didn’t mention it. She hummed as she looked up at her house, tilting her head a moment. She squeaked when she felt a hand at her waist...still tilting her head. She shook her head, then squeaked again, when he kissed her. She made a small, slightly suggestive sound before putting her arms over his shoulders, kissing him back.

Koon huffed as he watched the male Jamie had approached, having approached the guy himself because he was staying by his human’s side. He yipped and flicked his tail a few times, trotting closer to sniff the guy’s legs then jumping back. Huffing, he shook himself off, then tilted his head. Jamie put a hand on Koon’s head, petting the dog behind the ears then glancing to the stranger again. They tilted their head as they watched him a moment, then shrugged. “Um...are you hungry?” they asked, thinking he was just another human like them, one that needed to eat. They hummed as they looked him up and down, then shook their head a few times. “What’s your name?” they then asked, before looking down at the dog again. Koon yipped and wagged at them.

The golden brown haired girl hummed quietly as she continued to look the human up and down, the vampire hunter. She sighed softly, shaking her head, then tilted her head and glanced the way the cat had run off. Shaking her head again, she glanced to Kio, though she didn’t know his name, yet. Aria huffed, saying “I just want food...” then collapsed...
[idk if she’d faint that fast from hunger, but maybe it could be something else]

He frowned at Aralynn as she put a hand on his arm. " I believe...that would be your sister, and-" though his words were spoken only briefly before Aralynn realized it for herself, something else crossed his conciousness.
Was that....no. Surely not, right? He shook his head, blinking a few times before watching the duo at the end of the corridor approach them. It...it was Lucas! The male frowned nervously, a light blush upon his face. He hadn't seen Lucas in ages....but still. What would he think about him hanging around a human, yet again? Not like Lucas could really yell at him too much- it appeared Lucas had been hanging around a human himself. However, he would worry about that later- for now, he would deal with the situation at hand- starting by keeping silent until he was required to speak.

--prior to encountering Aralynn--
" Hey, I never said I thought you were lying to me. I simply mentioned that I've never heard of such a thing." smiling, she listened to him as he talked of his kingdom. So they did, indeed, have there own traditions then. She would love to visit it someday, but she highly doubted Aralynn would be letting her off castle grounds anytime soon.
-------- after encountering Aralynn----------
She noticed a look of confusion on Lucas's face, but before she had the chance to say anything, she was startled by the sudden feeling of his arm linked with hers. She gave him a nervous smile before responding to him. " Yes, I believe that would be the proper thing to do...." and with that she walked with Lucas over to where Aralynn was. " Aralynn...." she spoke, her tone somewhere between bewildered and angry. " Care to introduce us to your...uh....your friend, there?" she spoke, keeping her arm linked with Lucas's- something she rather enjoyed.

( vamps don't really pass out from hunger- more or less they just get a bit weaker and go on a feeding frenzy, if they are starving.)
He was a bit confused when the vampire woman collapsed, tilting his head cautiously. What game was this one playing? Trying to draw her towards him? Cautiously he approached, his blade at the ready. " If your 'food' includes blood, than your not human. Your what's terrorizing Emberelic. "

The golden brown haired girl ignored the burning of thirst in her throat, still. She was pretending to have fainted, wondering if he’d actually fall for it...She kind of doubted it, he seemed pretty smart for a human, but still she did this. She snorted quietly when he said she was terrorizing people...She found people that had no loved ones, and she never killed them...When he was close enough, she jumped up, trying to attack him.
[idk if i can reference/use Twilight too, but i’ve read it and they say the need for blood causes a white hot burning in a vampire’s throat, like pain]

The blonde teen felt warmth and an urge to hurry towards her sister to wrap her in a tight embrace. Yet she held back. She wasn't trying to be cold towards the heir but there was the small matter of the man whose arm she was on at the moment. Aralynn really did not want to either send the vampire she was with into a worry or get too close to a new face. Not without proper introductions at the very least. Speaking of introductions the princess asked about Al. Something which sent the young teen into a worry she did her best to contain and control. Letting out a breath of relief, "I'm sorry about missing the evening meal, Alejandro here gave me quite a surprise and has been keeping me company as my escort since his arrival, but I am pleased you are alright and heeding curfew. I was concerned about how you and Himura would take the instituting of one. Thank you for setting an example." Looking at the former human, "Al may I present my sister Princess Akira Kurenai, second daughter of the royal family and one of my troublesome but equally beloved heirs."

"I assure you Your Majesty, the Princess Akira was perfectly safe with me at her side even had not heeded your order. As a citizen of Runemeth I would do all in my power to keep her safety.", spoke up Lucas going into a deep bow towards the queen. While he didn't call her a swan, not that it fit her as he believed Akira more fitting the pet name, the temptation was great. His eyes wondered to Al wondering what....how....an Infiltrator manged to get seemingly close to the Emberelic Queen. Certainly closer then he was aware of any other vampire getting. Forget that fact that, if his hunch was correct, he was engaged to said royal. That would complicate matters to say the very least.

Aralynn turned from her sister momentarily to face Lucas standing beside her, "You're from Runemeth? You must be of significant importance or rank for our gaurds to let you wonder the grounds unchecked as you probably have....particularly with my sister at your side." Curious. Of course it wasn't uncommon for the human queen and her siblings to host representatives or envoys from other kingdoms and more so one they were allied with. No matter what was going on within Emberelic or the visiting kingdom for that matter. "Are you here for the morning meeting then?"

"Yes I am and the name is Lucas Renier, Your Majesty. Newly appointed General of my king's military forces. It is an honor to at last meet you both.", Lucas eyed Al as if trying to send him a mental message of some kind. Though the mental sort of gift wasn't something either of them were capable of.

Alejandro "Duality" Himura/Adrian-18-male-vampire-infiltrator-tagged;-location;Ember
During Aralynn's mention of him, he figured the proper thing to do would be to bow. " A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kurenai" he figured it was proper to use her last name as opposed to the first name he used with Aralynn. This was his first time meeting the heiress, and while she was a rather cute and dainty little thing, he much preferred the looks of Aralynn.

However, he didn't have much time to ponder that fact, as the man next to the princess introduced himself. So he was the person he thought he was.... though he wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to let Aralynn know or not. At the mention of Lucas's last name, however, he felt a surge of rage build up inside him...but why? Wait...no, it was coming from Adrian? Why? He'd always been a bit wary of Lucas, but....he'd never expressed such rage like he was right now. Momentarily Al closed his eyes, taking a deep breath in attempt to sooth Adrian's anger. Additionally, one of his feet shifted to behind his other foot, a habit Adrian had whenever he tried to suppress his irritability or anger- a habit Adrian had even when he had his own form.

Noting Lucas was trying to send him some sort of message, he gave him a brief nod of acknowledgement. We'll talk later... he thought, knowing fully well neither of them had any sort of telepathic abilities- therefore he hoped his short nod was enough of an answer for the time being.

To his surprise, and slight worry, the princess's question caught him quite offguard- betrothed?! There was nothing of the sort going on between him and Aralynn- it was simply a mutually-beneficial partnership....right?

She frowned at her sister, doing her best to be friendly despite her irritability. " No worries about the evening meal. I must say, it was quite bewildering when the guards couldn't find you anywhere on palace grounds. We were all quite concerned, but I suppose what you do in your spare time is your business." she spoke, leaving out the fact she knew the doors to her chambers had been locked, and despite that, nobody was inside.

When her sister introduced her to Al, she gave a short smile and curtsied briefly, but didn't hold it as long as she probably should have- especially if Aralynn truly was betrothed to the man next to her. She remained silent, however, as Lucas spoke. Hopefully Aralynn would like him- considering they would likely be working with him quite a bit, him being the general of Runemeth and all.
However, she couldn't help but notice something was off between the demeanor of both Lucas and the man known as Al. Lucas's gaze kept wandering to Al, and Al's to Lucas, but.....Al also seemed somewhat tense? Maybe he was just nervous about meeting her? No....something was definitely off. Maybe the two knew each other, and weren't on good terms? Aside from that, however, the tone Aralynn used when asking Lucas who he was made her nervous.

Nonetheless, she had one question for Aralynn that she couldn't leave without knowing- even if it may have been none of her business as of yet, this was her sister, and she refused to see her marry anyone who wasn't worthy of her. " Aralynn, please forgive my intrusion on your personal matters.....but is....is this man your betrothed?" she questioned, a troubled look on her face.

( I don't typically like referencing twighlight, but having pain/parchness due to extreme hunger is understandable.)
The snort is what gave her away- if she had truly been unconscious, she wouldn't have snorted at his words. Therefore, he was prepared when she jumped up, leaping backwards in a heartbeat. " Well then, let's dance." he spoke, lunging at her with one knife going straight for her heart, the other coming around from the side, angle to go up between two ribs to reach the heart.

The dark haired male held the kiss keeping Konan close to him for a little while longer. After what felt like several minutes though, he broke the kiss pulling away to put some distance between them. Though he didn't look away from his friend. Quite the opposite. Fallon let his eyes wonder Konan's familiar face taking in every twitch and spark in her eyes as he could to try a d deduce her thoughts. The male vampire had known her for awhile now so it should have been easy. Should being the optimal word.

Lucas stayed where he was at Akira's side keeping the young heiress on his arm comfortably. The whole time listening to the conversation the pair of young royals were having. A conversation which seemed not far off from a pleasent discussion between two sisters from a high-born family one might encounter. It was actually rather cute to listen to. But....Lucas had more important things to deal with at the moment then the gossip of female humans.

More important like his fellow vampire standing no more then a foot or so in front of him. He was going to drop his attention on his fellow bloodsucker until their meeting later, when his attention was caught again. By the same dark haired male moving his feet. It wasn't just the fact that Al moved his feet during their introduction that caused something to stir in Lucas though. It was more of the way his fellow bloodsucker moved his feet. The male vampire let his side brush closer against Akira's much like a possesive animal, though it was subtle enough hopefully it wasn't too questioned.

"Still I should have been there and I'm sorry about worrying everybody. I found myself requiring some fresh air to clear my thoughts, I didn't mean to worry the palace.", said Aralynn though the last part made her feel an internal twinge. Of frustration or of remorse was unclear but that didn't matter to the young queen at the moment. She had to get her and Al through this meeting without causing issues or otherwise raising suspicions from the family's guest and her sister. "Why don't I make it up to the two of you with a story? Or are you far too big to huddle up in the library for such a childish practice? Or you perhaps can come up with womething else?", asked Aralynn eyes shining bright. Her doting nature coming out around her sister as per usual even with guests being present. It was a bad habit of hers. Of course the blonde knew neither of her siblings were children, this part of her just came from the need to see their lives weren't disturbed. However when Akira asked the question most pressing on her mind, the young royal froze in place. The shock clear on her steadily warming face. "B-Betrothed? Al and I?", Aralynn repeated looking over at said male who seemed oddly distracted by Lucas at the moment before redirecting her gaze to the princess. "My dear sweet precious beloved sister.....what ever gave you that idea? I mean...thats....thats..mmm...", the teen struggled to find the right words to explain her keeping the vampire's company.
