1x1 Silent Symphony & Of the Falls

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien eyed the eggs. "I'm not hungry." he growled, standing and walking off into his room to out a shirt on and fix his hair.

Vicente watched as Lucien left, frowning again. Lucien had quite a fiery, volatile temperament, much different from Vicente's. But, the vampire had grown used to it in time. He flicked his eyes back to the eggs, plucking another one for himself and eating it. He knew he needed to feed soon, and he would do it before Lucien left, so Sigma wouldn't be left alone.

Lucien returned, wearing a green t-shirt, his hair tied back in it's usual fashion. He sat back down in his chair was a sigh, rolling his shoulders and popping his back. He flicked his dark eyes to Sigma, studying her for a moment.

[Falls]

Sigma watched Lucien leave, frowning slightly at his suddenly darkened mood. He'd seemed a little calmer this morning until just now. What happened? She shot Vicente a confused glance, but didn't have a chance to say anything before Lucien returned. She sat in awkward silence for a moment, staring down at her hands on the table before looking up at Lucien. She did a double take, realizing that he was watching her. "What?" she snapped, wiping her hand across her mouth in case the sudden attention was merely because of a bit of egg left over from breakfast.

[Veins Of Opal]

"Nothing." Lucien said, sitting back and suddenly regretting putting the bottle of wine away. He flicked his eyes away, to Vicente, who stood.

Vicente stood, giving a sigh. "Lucien, I've got to go. It's been awhile since I've fed." he mumbled quietly. Lucien gave him a nod. 'I'll be back in a few hours." Vicente said, giving a small smile as he turned, climbing the ladder and exiting the fort.

Lucien watched as Vicente left, and gave a sigh. He flicked his eyes back to Sigma, and pursed his lips. Lucien certainly wasn't one to apologize for his outbursts, and thus, he didn't. He remained silent, scooting the candle closer to him and watching the flickering of the flame as it's light danced across his skin.

[Falls]

Sigma watched Vicente go, her foggy blue gaze remaining on the doorway until she heard the faint sound of the trap door opening and closing again. "Humans or animals?" she suddenly asked, looking from the doorway to Lucien's eyes- agh! She quickly looked down at his lips instead.

[Veins Of Opal]

"Humans. He doesn't kill them, though. Just knocks them out for a bit." Lucien replied, furrowing his brow when she quickly looked away from his eyes. A faint smirk danced across his lips. His dark brown gaze remained on her foggy blue eyes that avoided him.

[Falls]

Sigma's heart lodged in her throat at the sight of the smooth smirk gracing Lucien's lips. Oh god, that was almost worse than looking him in the eyes. She looked away, rubbing at her eyes tiredly as an attempt at an excuse for averting her gaze. "And has he ever fed on you?" She wondered if Vicente would ever find it nessecary to feed on her. She doubted it, though. She could see there was a silent agreement between him and Lucien to keep her unharmed for now. But how long would that agreement last?

[Veins Of Opal]

"Of course not! I don't want him biting my neck." Lucien chuckled, smiling as she averted her gaze to the floor. "He finds others to. I won't let him feed off of me." Lucien chuckled, sitting back. "Now, why do you ask?" he asked in his deep, rich voice, drumming his fingers on the table.

[Falls]

Sigma sighed, watching her hands carefully. She could feel Lucien watching her and it made her uncofortable. She didn't know why, but just having Lucien interact with her in such a calm manner was unsettling. It was a lot easier to be around him when they were yelling. "I was just wondering if he fed on people he knew... When you stop caring about the whole Allison thing and stop protecting me, or whatever this is, I wanted to know if that would make him consider feeding on me. 'Cause I obviously can't fight him off if he does." She'd chosen painful bluntness in this instance, figuring it would be best to just get the facts straight off.

[Veins Of Opal]

Lucien flinched as she spoke that name, an he gave a sigh. "I highly doubt he would. I think he considers you a friend." Lucien growled, something flashing in his eyes. He stood, pacing back and forth in the kitchen as he thought silently.

[Falls]

Sigma watched the movement of Lucian's legs out the corner of her eye as he paced. She was beginning to freak herself out again, to tear down the little bit of trust for Vicente and Lucien that she'd built up last night. Once Lucien looses interest in me, I'm as good as dead. How long will that take? "...And if he does?" she asked, her voice cracking slightly as it strained to at least squeeze those four words out past the fear that tightened up her throat and dried her tongue.
