Ryhe chuckled, "Not a bad weakness. Just hope she helped." He looked back to the tent, his smile gone.

Lilis is very good. If John is still ill, she will work harder when she comes back. She really loves children. Kaie repeated and looked at the tent too. How do you know them?

"Burris and I are old friends. He was enslaved on a plantation my bandits and I liberated, he was nothing but a child, a little teal boy with eyes sparkling with curiosity. I took him under my wing and he grew up a fine bandit, till he met John's mother. I've been helping the lad out ever since." He smiled.

Kaie nodded. It is good that you help. Most would have left him to die. What is it like to be a bandit?

Ryhe thought, "It's like... being free. No rules, no regulations... just you, yer gold and wide open spaces. Makes you feel invincible." He smiled.

Kaie chuckled. Not even Apocalypse is invincible and he is the oldest of the demons, spawned directly from Chaos. You’ve been a bandit a long time then. You’re still a bandit, or no?

"I am and still proud of it. Five-hundred and four years now. Five-hundred and four long, happy years." Ryhe closed his eyes and took in a breath of his pipe.

That is a long time. Kaie commented and hopped up into the tree. So, have you been caught?
(Buena idea! Oh, I had this really great idea and I was wondering if you wanted to have Verse bump into Lilis as she was hunting. You know, a chance meeting? What do you think?)

(Loooooove it!)
He laughed, " Och, aye. Escaped every bloody time." He pointed to his neck, "These muscles prevent choking of my windpipe. I can hang all day and not die. It's funny really." He sighed out the smoke, "But... the things they've done to me..." His eye went misty and distant.

Oh. My apologies. Kaie and looked up at the sky, thinking of Lilis. Do you have a family? If so, what are they like?
Lilis sat atop a pinnacle of a church, resting easily against the top of the cross as she watched the people below her. It was boring, waiting for someone to do something stupid so that she could feed herself. But, she couldn't afford to make a mistake in this crowd.

Ryhe looked back at her, "What kind of family? Like, a wife or birth relatives?"
A figure in pure black, a hood over his head, walked among the crowd. The vampire still was in pain, despite the clothing blocking the sun. He hated the sun and he stepped into the church to get out of it.

Family is family. Do you have one? It doesn't matter what kind. Kaie said impatiently.
Lilis saw the dark figure in the shadows behind the church. A slow smile snaked its way across her lips. She jumped down from the cross, made her way quietly across the roof, and enter the alley adjacent to the figure's. Walking soundlessly, Lilis came up to the corner behind the figure and peeked at him. She took several more steps and was within feet of him.

"I donna like to talk about my relations, but I'm married and I have a child on the way." He smiled up to her.
Vane growled at the sun and pulled his hood down, his long black hair dull with his lack of feeding and his face seemed aged without it too. In his clan, no feeding causes a member to grow old till they die. He hadn't had a good chance to feed in a while and he seemed thirty over his usual twenty five.

Congratulations. What would like the child to be?
Lilis swayed uncertainly. This one, appeared to be a vampire and just as starved as she. Lilis was still quite irritable, but two starved vampires hunting wouldn’t be so bad. One could watch and one could feed. Lilis took several steps back to put some distance between them. She pulled her own hood lower and made sure all of her white hair was tucked back.
“Hm! Fancy that,” she softly behind Verse, “another as starved as me.” This was only to get his attention, but she didn’t really care if he looked or not. She’d just continue her own hunt… down a different alley.

"Pardon?" Ryhe didn't understand the question.
Verse turned his head and stared at Lilis in the eye. He scoffed and crossed his arms, turning his head back. "Fancy it all you want, it's not helping either of us.

Do you want a boy or a girl? Kaie rephrased.
Lilis scowled in reply. "If I were going to fancy it, I would let myself starve and since I'm of the mind to feed... I don't think I will. But I don't think I'll be able to catch anything at this hour. Would you like to catch a drink with me? I'll pay."

"Ah, I want a little girl." He grinned
Verse froze, then turned to her, his shadowed face now visible. From his lower lip down to his chest, it looked burned, chlorine gas scarred his lower face badly. He blinked at her face, "Why the hell not?"

Ah, Lilis is partial to male children, but she likes them all. I'm not sure if I like them or not. But because I am heir to my Family Clan, I must mate and produce a female heir. At least I don't have to do that yet with Lilis. Kaie said with a firm nod of her head. I like older children, I think. I can't stand little kids.
Lilis smirked. "Oh good. It's been a while since I've had a drink with anyone." She said and moved forward surprisingly fast to grab his shoulder and teleport them to an inn. She released his shoulder and walked to the door, holding it open for him. "Come on. YO LORN!" She called into the inn for the keeper as she waited for Verse.

Ryhe blinked a few times, "Interesting..."
Verse just a bit and hissed, throwing the hood over his face. He grumbled and walked in, looking around.

I'm not that fond of children. Kaie said and growled softly.
"LILIS!" A voice boomed and a heavy-set man walked into view. "Two then?"
"Yes, my table is still set, isn't it?" She asked him, eyeing him.
Lorn looked slightly nervous. "Yes Lilis. This way. What are you and your friend going to have?"
"I want a cocktail of magic user and vampire. Thanks Lorn. My companion can order for himself." She replied and looked at Verse. "Be happy! I'm feeding you without risk to yourself."
"Be happy." Lorn grumbled. "She hasn't tried to destroy you."

Ryhe raised a brow, " Ya donna? How come?"
Verse scoffed, "Oh, I am. I'd smile if it didn't cause anymore wrinkles." He lightly growled, "I'll have the same."

They're touchie-feelie, need-to-be-close-to-someone, and they just need so much attention. I like it when they can just take care of themselves. Kaie responded in a bland tone.
"Oh really? I've done more scowling than smiling and I don't have wrinkles. But I'm not quite so old yet either." Lilis replied with a smirk.
"Old enough to through your weight around at any rate."
"Aw Lorn..." Lilis said with mock sorrow. "You wound me! Jealous are you? I'm not even 250 years yet. I'm sorry if you're already past 500 and don't have anything to show for it."
Lorn glared at Lilis. She grinned viciously, showing her fangs. Lorn grumbled something and stabbed a finger at her table. Lilis sat and chuckled as Lorn walked away.

Ryhe chuckled, " You'll think otherwise when you have some."
Verse raised a brow, "You should be nicer, he can eat you."

I don't think so. I'll let Lilis raise them if I do have any. Kyre is my younger cousin and they love each other. Kaie pushed herself up and looked around. Speaking of which...
An oversized, rusty-red fox pounced on Ryhe's chest. "Hi! I"m Kyre!"
Lilis smirked. "He tried that once actually. It didn't go over well for him." She said and propped her feet on one of the spare seats. "If I'm not putting you off that much, you can sit. I'm not in the mood to physically drain someone."

Ryhe breathed in the pipe, taking in a large load of smoke in as he fell back. He coughed and stared in surprise at the fox.
Verse grunted in acknowledgment and sat, resting his charred chin on his propped elbow as his red eyes glanced around.
