Are all vampires so morbid? She wondered, avoiding Kadaj's eyes.
"Usually."
At first, she thought it had been Kirian, who'd kicked down her mental wall and had heard her. Then she realized it'd been out loud. She turned, and there he was, red eyes gleaming, his black hair framing a scarred, pale face. Willow's hand fell to her knife.

Kadaj waved a hand, paralyzing the vampire with magic. He held his sword to the vampire's heart. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Seems like I've been saying that a lot lately, he thought as he released his mouth and vocal cords from the paralysis.

Tifa finally looked up and quietly said to Zeren, "We have to find the vampire. He's not too far from here."

Sienna gradually regained control of herself and stood up, taking deep breaths to calm herself down. She couldn't believe that she had shown her weakness like that! Perhaps it was best that she did. After all, it was because of that that violent, paranoid freak had let her go.
Once again, she pushed those unpleasent emotions into a back corner of her mind, focusing only on the immediate situation at hand. Where to go from here?
Sienna pondered. She had heard that there was a large port city where people usually travelled through. She could steal off of some rich travalers there. Then again, there was that one devastated city that would be easy pickings.
She brushed herself off and walked away. ((Sienna has left this thread for an, as of yet, undetermined destination.))

"No.." It was so tempting just to say 'go ahead and gut him' but something held her back. How many times had Kirian gotten frozen or nerve bent on her behalf? She'd lost count. Nevertheless, she put a hand on Kadaj's arm and shook her head. "It's okay...This is Kirian."
Kirian, stiffened, looked more unreal than usual, and it was hard to believe he was here. They hadn't seen each other in weeks, months.

Kadaj didn't say a word as he canceled his spell and lowered his sword. He did not sheath it. After a long silence, he finally said, "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for her. I got bored." Kirian, eyeing the weapon, kept one hand at his own, his eyes a blazing red.
"What do you want Kirian?" Willow said shortly, eyes narrowed. He flipped a short knife end over end, the balanced it on his palm. She recognized it and her hand dropped to her belt. "How-?"
"You don't pay attention," he replied coolly.
"What do you want?"
"My orb." He held the weapon out, hilt first. Willow snarled under her breath, snatching it away from him but remaining in an irritated silence. The vampire's eyes flashed. "You still don't have it."

((sorry Arissa, but Kadaj still hasn't told anyone his name (at least he shouldn't have.......) Like I said before, I know it seems really insignificant, but I'm just tryin to make him keep a low profile.... VERY low profile))
Kadaj heard Zeren and left Willow alone with Kirian to go get him and Tifa. He seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "What do you need?" he asked quietly. In the back of his mind, he was thinkiing about Willow. What would she decide? He hated to see another mortal soul get caught up in the supposed glories of immortality.

Zeren shrugged. "Ask Tifa, she's the one who wanted you."

Willow, a little unnerved now that she was alone with him, tried to appear casual, leaning against a tree with her arms over her chest. "If you want it so bad, go get it yourself," she muttered. Kirian's eyes were slate grey now, and they flickered.
"Did you change your mind?" He glanced to the place where the other vampire had disappeared into the forest. Kirian could smell the others from here, and having not recently fed, they smelled especially appetizing. "Did he convince you?"
"Maybe," Willow said softly, watching him.
"Then I have no more business here."

((yeah, that's good, thanks))
Kadaj heard the conversation. Good, he thought.
Tifa explained, "We need to bury Cloud. But, after that, are you going with us to the castle?"
Kadaj replied, "No, because you are not going. Don't bother to argue. I've made up my mind. It it too dangerous for you. Besides, I work better alone."
Tifa started to protest immediately. "What!? Not going!? You think after Cloud...... dying protecting me from Vincent's thugs and after I've been tortured by him, that I'm not going to at least try to kill Vincent!?"
"Revenge, you mean?" Kadaj said. "It never works. Trust me. You're not going. I must get you both somewhere safe. Then, I'll come back here.... alone and kill Vincent."

"When did you turn into such a jerk?" Willow demanded. Kirian took a step forward, growling low in is throat, but the half-elf held her ground. He sprang forward with inhuman speed, grabbing her by the throat.
"Do you know how fragile mortals are?" he asked, eyes the previous glowing red. She glared at him.
"I'm very aware," she replied, her voice scratchy.
"Then you'd do well to watch your tongue."
"I'm not scared of you."
Kirian glanced sideways as something pressed against his neck. The blade of Willow's dagger was dangerously close to his jugular, almost breaking the skin. Snarling, he released her and pushed her arm away.

Kadaj heard the short conflict. "I'll be back in a minute," he said to Zeren and Tifa. He let his fangs grow out and his eyes turn red as he approached the other vampire and Willow. When he got there, he glared at the vampire. "If this happens again, I'll show you how fragile a young vampire can be. Got it?"

"I can handle him myself," Willow muttered grumpily. Kirian gave her a poisonous look and darted away, keeping one eye on Kadaj. He's out of hand, the vampire thought.
He's just...protective. Though I'm not sure why. He's better mannered than you, anyway. Willow looked at Kadaj and sighed. "Thanks..." She blinked. "You never did...tell me your name."
