Wandering around (Open)

Lucius slowly walked the forest, looking around at the animals and plants he came across. His tail swished behind him and his wings were folded on his back. He was in his human form, and was hiding his true mind. He kneeled to observe a red flower closer, then stood back up, looking around the clearing. He spotted a deer and watched it graze on the other side of the clearing.

Enjoying the scene around me with nature, I walk into a clearing, not seeing where I'm walking and end up bumping into someone. "Oh sorry...I wasn't looking where I was going."

Lucius quickly turned and looked at the other creature. He quickly sensed it to be a vampire. "It's alright. I was standing in the middle of a clearing. I was bound to get run into at some point." He said, smiling politely. His tail swished again, then stayed still.

"Seeing the wings on the man in front of me and smelling his blood, I pin him as a dragon. "Its been some time since I seen someone of your kind around." I smile softly at the man, wondering why a dragonia would be this far away from the mountains.

Lucius tilted his head slightly. "Well, I'm a bit... Special." He said, shifting on his feet. He looked a little uncomfortable. Some may think he was a little socially awkward, but really he was fighting his urge to scratch this man and see his blood.

"I'm not one to judge." I laugh a little as I offer him a handshake. "My name is Ember." Blushing a little as I look him up and down. "He is rather cute."

Lucius shook hands with him. "Lucius." He replied, then looked a little surprised. "Excuse me?" He asked, blinking his green eyes.

Realizing what I just said out loud, I blush a little. "Oh, uh, nothing, just mumbling a little about something unimportant." I pull my scarf up to cover the blush on my face. "So what are you doing out here anyway?"

Lucius tilted his head the other way, then adjusted his hoodie. "Well, I'm just exploring at the moment, looking at the animals." He said, smiling a little. His claws twitched slightly as he thought about hunting those same animals later.

"You know you have pretty eyes by the way." I smile softly, looking around and seeing several animals as I try to make it a little less awkward.

Lucius looked a surprised. He hadn't been in contact with many of the other races before. Maybe this was normal for them? "Uh, thank you." He said, smiling gently. He put his hands in his pockets so he couldn't see them getting a little twitchy.

"You seem nervous, am I bothering you?" My blush deepens a little even though he can see it. "I can leave if you want, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Lucius shook his head. "It's not your fault. I just don't talk with others very much." He chuckled. "I'd actually prefer that you stay." He said, leaning on one leg a little.

"If you insist." I smile softly and find a rock to sit on. "Anything in particular you would like to do?" I look up at him as I adjust my glasses.

Lucius thought about what of the things he liked to do her could even tell Ember. "Well, I do enjoy the forest. Never did like the towns all that much. So I tend to wander the forest when I'm bored." 'Or bleed small animals.' He added in his mind.

My stomach start to grumble a little as my thirst for some blood rose inside me. "Damn, always when I don't have tomato juice. Do you mind helping me catch an animal?" I stand up and look around the clearing.

Lucius blinked in surprise, then smiled a little again. "Sure. I'll help." He said, then began scouting for an animal. He quickly saw a rabbit across the clearing and began walking slowly towards it. He took his claws out of his pockets. 'Dont show Ember your true side.' He reminded himself as his pulse quickened in excitement. Suddenly he took off at an amazing speed, quite normal for his kind. Catching the rabbit was easy and he snapped its neck. He walked back to Ember holding the rabbit by its ears. His other hand was twitching, and had a weird half smile on his face.

More focused on feeding, I smile softly and take the rabbit from him. "Thank you" I open my mouth, showing him my fangs for a moment before I bury them into the fur of the rabbit and start to drink the rabbit dry.

Lucius laughed a little to himself. "Your fangs look as sharp as mine!" He joked, not feeling as uncomfortable now. The smell of blood helped with the nagging feelings he had.

I pull away from the rabbit with a little blood streaming down from the dorner of my lip as I smile. "I don't need to be chomping through natural plate armor like you dragons do."

Lucius looked a little confused. "Why would we do that?" He asked, his eyes on the blood. His hand clenched and unclenched as he want tempted to attack. "You got a little blood right here." He said, pointing to the corner of his own lip.

"Ive seen some of your kind fight each other." I lick as much of the blood off my face and then wipe my rest off of my face. "Thanks for that."

Lucius thought for a moment. "Fights weren't that common from where I came from." He said and smiled politely. "No problem." He added.

I smile softly and and offer him the rest of the rabbit. "Want the rest, sorry if its a little dry though." I chuckle softly and sit back down on the rock.

Lucius took the rabbit gratefully. "Thank you. I appreciate it." He said, then began chewing on it. He ate in bites, his own fangs visible. After a few bites he smiled at Ember happily.
