Watching, Exploring

[Luna]

Luna watched the various figures walk among the village. She sat one the ledge of one of the buildings, her legs dangled over the side. She swayed her legs a bit, almost as if she were a child on a swing. Luna was slightly bored, so she was just watching the people below. She probably could have done something else that would be better use of her time, but she chose to do this. Sometimes it was interesting watching the different figures because it was neat seeing how differently they all acted.

After about two hours(yes, she sat there straight for two hours) Luna did become bored. Nothing too exciting was going on. She sighed, as she stretched her arms. Luna moved her gaze to the bright full moon lighting the sky. She always thought the moon was so mysterious since it symbolized so many things.

Luna stood up and balanced her body. Once she accomplished that she walked along the ledge to the corner of the building. She then jumped down from the building landing on another ledge. She jumped down once more almost landing on her feet. She lost her footing and fell down landing on the solid ground back first. 'Ow.'She thought. 'I'm such a klutz.'She thought.

Luna sat up. She was now in an alley way. It was a shady area, not the best place to be in really. Luna did not care. She stood up straightening her back. It was a bit sore, but not as bad as it could have been.

She looked around the alley. Though she did not sense anything, she could have sworn she heard something moving. She shrugged it off. 'I'm probably paranoid since it's an alley way and you always hear about how there's some creepy thingy hanging in one...'She thought to herself.

Luna nearly screamed when she felt something brush against her leg. Every bit of her body tensed. She moved her eyes to look and see what it was. Luna immediately calmed when she saw it as a small white kitten.

"Awww..."Luna said as she looked at the small animal. "You're so cute!"She said to the kitten. It meowed and rubbed against her leg once more. Luna smiled. It was so sweet!

Luna squatted down and scratched the kitten's chin as it purred. It really was an adorable little thing.

Gabriel came around the corner of an adjacent alley. His clothes were a ragged and bloody mess. He stopped to take off his coat and shirt, throwing it aside before pulling his coat on again. He felt like cursing, but didn't. It was a moment before he noticed a girl in the alley with him. He watched her fondle the kitten quietly.

The vampire took a chance and came a little closer. He stood a few paces behind the girl, his blue eyes luminescent in the pale moonlight. Gabriel just stood watching her with the kitten, remaining silent.

[Luna]

Luna stroked the kitten's back. It continued to purr and was obviously loving every bit of attention it received. Luna continued to beam down at the small animal. 'It's...so....CUTE!'She could not help but think. 'Hm..I wonder if it's a boy or girl...'Luna thoughtfully wondered to herself.

Luna had been so busy with the kitten she had not yet realized there was another vampire right behind her. After a few seconds, she finally noticed the emotion of being watched. 'If someone has been behind me I will slap myself..'She thought.

The female vampire then turned her head and there was indeed another vampire behind her. 'Er..I'll slap myself next time I'm alone...'She thought. She was not sure what to say or do and she was not sure if this was a friendly vampire or not. She stood up. "Um..Hello!"She said in a bright tone. She really did not know what else to do, so Luna decided to greet the vampire.

[Kilian]

"Hello." Gabriel replied softly, gazing into her eyes for a moment. "Do you like cats or just kittens?"

Gabriel shoved his hands into his pockets and relaxed a little. After fighting two drunk lycans and a semi-drunk vampire, he was happy to find someone who wasn't in a tizzy. Of course, it wasn't like you could tell. Gabriel was like a statue and appeared void of emotion.

[Luna]

Luna thought for a second. "I like both!"She decided. Kittens were adorable, but they became very beautiful when they grew up Luna thought. Some people may think it was odd how Luna would say "both" instead of just "cats", but she thought it was better to categorize them as two different animals. It was a bit confusing though, even Luna got very confused by her own thoughts.

She noticed that the male vampire seemed rather emotionless. She wondered what was going through his head. 'Oh well, I'm not physic, I can't tell.'Lune thought to herself. She realized she had not given her name "Oh, I'm Luna Skies by the way."She said introducing herself.

[Kilian]

"Gabriel Ash," he replied and nodded his head towards her. "I prefer the adult cats to their kittens. I have some at my manor, it's in Eden's Blood. Did I interrupt anything?"

Two more cats came out of the garbage in the alley. A black one with a white paw came up to Gabriel. He bent down to pick it up and set it on his shoulder. It sat there and purred loudly as he rubbed a finger through the fur on it chest.

[Luna]

"Very nice to meet you, Gabriel."Luna said. She nodded understanding why he may prefer adult cats over kittens. She then shook her head. "No, you didn't."She said to him.

She looked over seeing the other two cats emerge. She guessed maybe they were the kitten's family or something. Luna giggled lightly. "Aww, he likes you."She said to Gabriel. The white kitten lay on the ground. The other cat, which was gray, walked over to the kitten and licked it.

[Kilian]

"It would appear that way." Gabriel murmured as he continued to pet the black one. "Ize, Angel, and Celeste are my companions, but I have five cats as well. Do you keep cats as well?" He asked as he looked back at her.

[Luna]

'Oh, so their names are Ize, Angel, and Celeste...Those are such cool names.'Luna thought to herself. She picked up the white kitten again and pet it gently. She loved how soft the kitten's fur was. It felt a lot like silk. As she scratched the kitten's neck she could feel a small vibration as it purred.

Luna shook her head. "No, I don't have any cats or any companions really. I have a friend named Rasui, but I haven't heard from him in years."She answered Gabriel.

[Kilian]

"I've only got the three I mentioned and the cats. Ize is my librarian, Celeste is my chief of security, and Angel is the feisty one. They're a great crowd. They live with me too." Gabriel told her and the black cat hopped down to rest comfortably between Gabriel's arm and his chest.

"Describe Rasui to me, please. Celeste knows how to find information as well as Ize. They can make inquiries about your friend, if you'd like."

[Luna]

She nodded her head. "That's really awesome."Luna said. She smiled as she watched the other black cat. 'He's very fortunate to have a good bunch of companions like that, a lot of people would die for some.'She thought to herself.

Luna smiled. "That'd be great! Rasui is..." She paused. 'Wait, how do you describe Rasui?'She wondered. She remembered him vividly, he just was..indescribable at times. "He's a vampire, blond, green eyes, tall, very nice, a little shy but friendly, is originally from up Northern Europe."She said randomly listing some things about him.

[Kilian]

Gabriel listened and nodded. Another vampire walked into the alley. She had blue-black hair and eyes like the night. She walked up beside Gabriel and looked speculatively at Luna.

"He shouldn't be too hard to find." She said suddenly and Gabriel actually smiled. "Of course, I will be making inquiries about a specific vampire... so there may be some trouble."

"Hello Celeste."

"Hm, hi Gabriel." Celeste replied and then looked back to Luna. "Careful, he's a charmer, even for being all gloom and doom."

[Luna]

She picked up on the other vampire's scent. Luna looked over at Celeste. Celeste's features made her name fit her perfectly it seemed.

She nodded. "Ok. Thanks."She said to Celeste. "I'm Luna."She then spoke her name as she properly introduced herself to Celeste.

Luna chuckled softly at Celeste's last comment. 'Gloom and doom, huh?'She thought to herself. In a way she could see why Celeste would say that type of thing. At first Gabriel did appear like the dark type.

[Kilian]

"Celeste, cheif of security, cheif information gatherer, and Gabriel's bodyguard. I fill quite few positions for Gabe actually, but only because he's so understaffed."

"Ha! I have plenty of people."

"Three, Gabe." Celeste said, holding up her fingers. "Oh, well, tah-tah! I'm going to go find Ize. He'll be thrilled to have something to do."

Celeste walked out of the alley before teleporting. Gabriel looked back at Luna. The cat had fallen asleep during the little interlude with Celeste.

"Celeste is the funny one too." He said and smiled again.

[Luna]

Luna laughed softly. "So I noticed."She said in response to his comment aboiut Celeste. Celeste had seemed like a very nice person and Luna hoped she would maybe see her again sometime.

She looked over to see the cat had fallen alseep. "Awww....the sweetie was tired.."She said softly. 'They look like little angels when they're alseep like that...'She thought to herself.

[Kilian]

Gabriel looked down at the cat and back at Luna. "Are you going to adopt them?" He asked her with a curious tilt of his head.

[Luna]

Luna thought for a few seconds. 'Hmm....Now that I think about it that really doesn't seem like a bad idea....'She thought to herself. She liked cats and did not have any problems with them at all. So, why not?

She nodded a yes. "Yeah, that seems like a really good idea."Luna said smiling.

[Kilian]

Gabriel nodded. "Do you have a place to stay? I'll carry them for you. I've got nothing better to do than go home and wander the hallways of my enormous house."

[Luna]

"Yeah, I have a place to stay."Luna said as she continued to old the white kitten. "Heh, thanks though. I can carry the white and grey ones if you'll carry the black one."She said. 'I still have to name them...'She thought. 'But then I also have to find out what their gender is.' Luna would just do that when she got back home.

[Kilian]

Gabriel chuckled. "I don't think that will be a problem. It doesn't seem like he's going to move." He told her, still chuckling.

[Luna]

"Ok."She said. Luna then looked over at the grey cat who was still awake. She picked up the grey cat and was now holding both the white and grey felines. They were pretty light, most likely since they did not each much living out on the streets.

She turned her head to look at Gabriel. "Alright then, just follow me."Luna told him. The vampire then turned around and started walking. She of course assumed Gabriel would follow her.

[Kilian]

"Yes ma'am." Gabriel replied and followed a pace behind her. After a time, his gaze went blank as he focused on nothing as they walked. He still followed her, but was dimly aware of anything else.

[Luna]

Luna continued walking for several minutes. She by now had learned her way around enough to know where her home was and how to get there without getting lost. She by now had reached the outskirts of the village and made several turns.

Eventually she arrived at a small one-story house. It was simple and made of brick, so it was very sturdy. "Here we are."She said as she opened the door.

Inside there was a main room. It had a table in the center and a bookshelf on the eastern wall. There was a door on the north wall that led to a small kitchen and then restroom. On the south wall there was that hall that led to two bedroom's. One was the Luna's and the other was a spare.

[Kilian]

Gabriel snapped-too and looked at the house. He gazed blankly at it, once again betraying no emotion.

"It's nice." He commented as he followed her in and almost smiled at the sight of the bookcase. "Ize could stay up all of one night and day and be able to tell you anything you wanted to know about those books. They are his passion."

[Luna]

"Thanks. Not much, but it's home still."Luna said smiling. 'In a way I still miss the tropics though, I should go visit since I haven't been there is...uh...a while...'She thought. Luna had lost track of how long it had been since she went to the islands. It had most likely been close to three or four centuries. 'Time does fly.'She thought to herself.

She turned to Gabriel as he spoke. "That's neat! Tell him to come over sometime."She said. "Same to you too though, trust me, I love company."She told Gabriel.
