Zuki and a couple of his elite guards followed him towards the inn. They entered in and looked around. Several eyes followed then they spotted him. They stood up and bowed to him. Zuki admired it only for a few seconds, but then thought better. "Sit down everyone! I'm just like anyone else." He didn't say it in a happy tone. He walked over to the bartender and he asked, "What's your poison?"
The bartender was cleaning a glass and he thought. "Well, there are selections of food, alcohol, and the finest bloods. What do you perfer?"
Zuki thought. "Bloods."
"Aah, yes." He grinned, showing his fang. "We have many bloods. Deer, squirell, duck, falcons, cows, and many other bloods. The popular and the highest price is the dragon blood. And also is the elven, human, and dwarven blood."
Zuki was suprised to hear blood from them. "Just a second. Dragons? Dwarves, humans, and Elves? Where do you exactly get them?"
"From the far away lands that sells them in the blackmarket. They are supposed to be used for spells and stuff that requires blood, but heck, we need it to feed on. Blood is more expensive than alcohol, but it's really good. Oh ya. Your mother works here. She's the head chef."
"Mother!?" he exclaimed. He shook his head and sighed.

(I donno... Basically anyone can come and post. Otherwise, I'm going to let Zuki leave the inn sooner or later if no one posts within a week.)

(Hm..... Maybe I could introduce Patience and Virtue here.... heh heh heh... *cough*)
A dark looking person entered the inn and held the door open for three other people to come in. One was a man in his twenties with dark hair, gold colored eyes, and a pained, but friendly face. His companion was a young woman a head shorter than him with hair the red-fold color of the sunrise and orangish-amber eyes. She had an open, friendly face and that, when she smiled, she compelled others to smile too. The third person looked like a copy of the dark person. They looked like elves, but their skin was a metallic silvery-black and their hair was spikey, dusty-black. Their eyes were the color of icicles and their gaze seemed just as cold.
The man had no problem in the inn, but the woman did. She looked around at everyone and seemed oddly umcomfortable. Her habit of keeping a perfect posture was the only thing that kept her from hunching over or cringing.
"Patience," the man said softly to the woman as he brushed his fingers against her wrist. "They have a room open."
"One?" The man nodded. "You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the couch or put my sleeping roll on the floor."
"You're not sleeping on the floor Patience."
"And you're not either Virtue. Your arm was bothering you this morning." The man, Virtue, didn't respond and turned back to the innkeeper. "And it's not like we have shared a room or bed before. People can think what they like but their still just idiots if they're going think nasty about it."
Virtue chuckled and thanked the innkeeper for the room. One of the dark men left, the other one stayed near Patience and Virtue. They sat down at a table and were soon ordering lunch.
(I'm hungry. I can't wait till lunch time. I get to have a huge, free lunch on the behalf of my first period teacher and the party my third period teacher is letting us have. *drools* I can't wait! I'm soooooo hungry! I hope I don't expire before-hand though.)

Zuki turned his head and faced the arrivals. He walked over to them and crossed his arms. He then sat down a table across from them on the close side and watched them. He then finally spoke. "My mom cooks here. I hope you enjoy her food. If not, then I might become angry at you guys and so would my mother." He then darted his eyes at each of their faces.

Virtue grabbed Patience’s arm just above her elbow and gave her a hard look. He knew that she was on the verge of being very rude. Now that worked very well with his sister, but there wasn’t much he could about their servants, the two dark-skinned people. Phobos, Patience’s servant, stood up from his seat and matched Zuki’s gaze with his own piercing gaze.
“Sit down Phobos.” Virtue commanded softly, but he didn’t move. “Demos –“
“I have no control over my brother. We are equal in our servitude but we can choose to ignore your orders if we feel that you and your sister are being threatened.” The other dark-skinned man, Demos, said quietly from at Virtue’s back.
“Please sit down, both of you.” Virtue commanded again, tiredly.
Patience looked sharply at her brother and then glared darkly at Phobos. Both servants slowly sat down, but they kept their cold gazes on Zuki. Patience took Virtue’s good hand, his right one, and tried to ease his pain. Virtue looked over at his sister and smiled faintly.
“I’m sorry about that sir. We’ve been traveling a while and we’re on our last nerves, especially my sister.” Virtue told Zuki. “I am Zaos Virtue Nathaniel, but I go by Virtue.”
“I am Aurelia Patience Lynette and I go by Patience. Our servants are Phobos and Demos.” Patience told Zuki with a somewhat pleasant smile.

Zuki nodded. "Alright, so you expect me to tell you about me. I am King Zuki Tamaro, Ruler of Renor Crysos. I was just going by for inspection here. You just happened to catch my eyes. I'm wondering what you are doing here in a vampire kingdom."

"Passing through actually." Virtue told Zuki. "My sister and I are from Ka'Rin, it's a kingdom with a great view of the ocean about a few days ride west of here. I'm dying from a rare and incurable disease and my sister Patience is my heir. But she can't take the throne until she gets married. So we're really here to find Lyn a husband. I'm sorry if we come off as rude, but we're careful about telling people that we're royalty."

Zuki nodded, his face motionless. He thought a little and said, "So, an incurable disease. This is intresting. What will happen? Your insides begin to melt? That happened a few years back when this kingdom wasn't around."

Patience stood up hastily and stalked out of the inn. Phobos got up and followed her out, glaring at anyone who dared to glance at her. Virtue sighed. He rested his head on his right hand, covering his eyes. After a minute had passed he looked back at Zuki and began to tug off the glove on his left hand.
“I’m not going to melt, but my blood boils sometimes.” He told Zuki with small, wry smile and showed him his hand. “My arm and hand are mostly red. It shows how far the disease has spread. My entire left side is covered and most of my torso is covered too. The red tracks have just begun to go down my left arm.
“It only hurts if I do something strenuous, like fighting. I can’t go in water anymore, not unless it’s salt water. It stings like hell, but it’s good for any openings or tears in my skin that I might have. I’m very careful about my disease so I do spread it. And cases of it are very rare, so Patience is helping me to document it.”
Virtue pulled his glove back on. He looked at Zuki trough his lashes and bangs before shaking his hair back and looking straight at him. He grinned crookedly, looking towards the door. Patience was nowhere to be seen, but he hadn’t counted on her staying in view.
“Please forgive my sister. Our parents never really took care of us or our siblings and we were all we had. We are very close, my sister and I. She hates the thought that she’s going to lose me soon and she’s the only one who cared about me when the healers told me what I had. She takes my illness very seriously.”

Leaning against the Inn, breathing heavily, Malco looked up when he heard someone exit. He noticed Patience, and Phobos. He noted the tiny details of them, and was thinking of a time when to ask them what was wrong. He looked into the Inn now, and his sweaty bangs flung into his face. He pulled them away from his face, then turned back to Patience and Phobos, watching them.

Zuki nodded. "That does look serious. If this desiese never have been recorded, then doctors here should take a sample of your blood. They are pure advanced in medicines and they will try their hardest to make a cure."
(SSS bell ring.)

"I said it was incurable. I've had the disease for ten years only started showing signs of it seven years ago. None of our healers knew what it was when I first showed the signs. Patience was the one who found out about it by living in the palace library for almost a month. I'm lucky that I've lived this long with it and it is unlikely that I will live much longer." He explained a little and pressed the fingers of his left hand. "I don't want to give anyone my blood. I could spread it to others that way... as well as with my saliva and through water."

Zuki growled. "Fine. If you don't accept my help, then so be it. I was only trying to be nice to you." He turned around and began walking away. "And... I hope you live longer than what you expect... I just hope it doesn't hurt you either." He walked up and pounded on the table. "Give me a skin of elf blood."

Virtue sighed and put his head in his hands. "Life for me is harder than I think you understand."
"I understand it. I've helped you with it." Virtue smiled and turned to look at his sister. She sat down beside him. "I'm going to look at it upstairs. It was bothering you this morning."
Virtue would have replied, but their food came and Patience stared at him until he started eating. Phobos was standing in a dark corner where he could see everything.

Malco looked into the Inn again, watching Patience. Whispering a spel lto turn him into a cat, he slinked in, heading over to Patience. He sat down beside her chair leg, licking one of his paws, staring at Phobos while doing so.

Phobos narrowed his eyes at the cat. Demos stood up and looked down at the cat. He looked back over at his brother and raised an eyebrow. It was just a little cat. That was strange too. Demos normally hated cats while Phobos loved them. Patience looked down and smiled at the cat.
“Well hello. I don’t know what you’ve done, but you’ve got my bodyguard very upset with you.” She told the cat as Phobos came to sit behind it and beside her.
Virtue looked over at the cat. “Cute, you’ve attracted another animal. At least this one won’t try to eat us.”
Patience rolled her eyes and began to toy with her food. She wasn’t quite that hungry yet, at least Virtue was eating though. He needed the energy.

Malco meowed in happiness, his eyes slanting at Phobos. His whiskers raised in a quick smirk, then he went back to licking his paws.
Wonder when Zuki's gonna realize it's me. If he even does.
He thought, knowing he'd hang around Karita as tons of animals before she married Zuki. A small dragon, a dog, sometimes even a warthog. But he preffered a cat. They were so nimble and quick on their feet.

Phobos glared at the cat and knelt down on the floor. He shifted into a black panther and curled up on Patience's feet, facing the cat. He licked his lips. Patience patted Phobos' head absently and looked over at Virtue. She was worried about him. But she was always worried about him.
Virtue finished his plate and looked at Patience's plate. She slid it over to him wordlessly. Demos ordered them another round of food from one of the waitresses.

Zuki turned around and took the skin and drank it. It tasted wonderful and he loved it. He smirked and walked over and slid the chair back and sat down. He stared for a long moment into wonderment on what's a cat doing here. He then looked over to Phobos who is now a panther. I wonder if he's going to eat the cat... that would be fun to watch... He thought.

Hearing what Zuki thought, Malco jumped up on the table, hissing at him. He quickly let his claws out and whammed Zuki on the nose hard, not caring if he, or Karita; for that matter; would come to get revenge later on. He hissed again, then went back to the floor, his claws still out as he landed on Phobos before he went to the floor. He smirked, then jumped onto Patience's lap, as if trying to make Phobos angry. He then looked at Zuki again, his eyes narrowing.
I'll be sure to tell Karita you were drinking the blood of her people, before she became a Vampire.
He thought, his tail moving slightly back and forth.

Zuki growled and got up quickly. He looked at the skin. "Mm... Maybe the cat thinks it's not right to drink the blood of our own people..." He sat down and fiddled with the skin. It tasted too good. He guessed it's best if he should just let it go. He then just tossed it aside, making it land on an occupied table of a vampire who was just drinking wine. He looked at it and smelled it. He then shrugged and took a drought.

Malco smiled a second at Zuki, then licked his paws, cleaning them off.
Alright, maybe I'll hold on speaking to Karita...
He then watched the Vampires at the other tables, his nose twitching as he did so.

Phobos sat up with a snarl. His claws extended and his fangs beared. Patience placed her palm on his nose and pushed him back onto the floor. She looked down at the cat, who was now in her lap. Virtue was looking at it too. Demos began to look at his dagger. He wasn't interested in the cat.
Phobos sat beside Patience and stared at Malco. Using my lady to protect you won't work forever. Once I get my hands, claws, or fangs into you... I'm going to have so much fun crushing your bones. He told him, growling.
Patience sighed and fingered one of Malco's cat ears. "Why is everybody in such a tizzy?" She asked no one in particular.
