One x One with: Blacksoal

Keith jerked a bit at the sudden contact, but remained asleep. He was to exahusted to even care that it was Roxa touching him. He sighed, shifting a bit on the couch, begining to sprawl out a bit, his left leg resting across her lap, the other on the floor.

Shaye smiled at Vaix, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Do you wanna go for a walk?" She asked, she was anxious to walk around and stretch out, the long drive had made her pretty hyper.

Roxa couldn't help but laugh quietly to herself as Keith's long legs sprawled out over her and the floor. She couldn't imagine being Keith's height, being so cramped up in places meant for smaller people. She giggled again, then glanced at the back TV screen as if she were watching something.

"Sure," Vaix replied back calmly, "I'd love a walk." He took Shaye hand and stood, looking down at her lovingly as he waited for her to follow.

Michelle blinked as the scent of Shaye's car left the highway, he frowned, then followed after it, finding himself standing in front of a hotel. He sighed, then sat on a curb a ways off, watching the apartment with a look of thought.

Shaye grinned and hopped, grabbing the room key as she went. Smiling at Vaix, she grabbed his hand and led him from the room, careful to lock the door behind her.
"Where shall we go?" She asked him, heading for the stairs. She glanced at the elevators but knew that Vaix was far to freaked out to be in one of those.
"Come on" She said, opening the door to the stairs and bouncing dowm them.

Vaix trailed along after her, smiling at her energy as he followed down the stairs. "We'll go wherever you'd prefer we went," he said back with a soft chuckle. Bounding down the stairs with her until they stood outside together. He looked over at Shaye expectantly, letting her lead him around.

Michelle looked up when Shaye's scent hit his nose, his hopes died when he also saw Vaix with her. He frowned, deciding to stay out of her sight for now, hoping the wind would stay on his side.

Shaye smiled at Vaix and glanced around. "Hmm, let's just go exploring" She said with a shrug, heading down the sidewalk, moving away from Michelle. She smiled at Vaix, happy that everything was okay again. She didn't know what she'd do without him. She smiled and slipped her hand into his, loving giving him attention. She moved so that she was standing in front of him, walking backwards. Pausing she stood on tip toe and gently pressed her lips to his, before turning and dashing a little ways a head of him, smiling teasingly.

"Sounds good," Vaix replied back following her contently, them smiling when she kissed him and ran off. He tensed, then sprang after her playfully. He had a lot of wound up energy from play fighting with Iggy, and had no problem matching his energy to hers. He purred playfully, a slight almost happy growl sound in the back of his throat as he landed in front of her and managed to kiss her back on the cheek.

She laughed and turned, dodging around him after he managed to kiss her cheek. She had managed to doscover a small park, and she laughed, running over a small hill. She checked over her shoulder upon occasion, making sure she wasn't getting to far ahead of Vaix. Se laughed, the sound echoing around them as she hid behind a tree/

Vaix smiled, chasing after her and stopping as he reached the hill, his head angled curiously as he looked around for her. Then upon catching her scent, smiled and leapt over at the tree, peeking around it to look at her with a wide grin.

She laughed, smiling at him as soon as he found her.
"You got me" She said, smiling teasingly at him. 'Now what?" She asked, leaning her back against the tree and waiting to see what he did. She grinned, and glanced around, the park was incredibly lovely, and she was really enjoying just hanging with Vaix, drama free.

"I'm not sure," Vaix replied back. "But the park is bigger than just behind this tree, lets go look around." He scooped up her hand, kissing her cheek again as he made his way down the gravel trail along to park. It was a small park, but not in anyway cramped looking. He smiled contently, enjoying the attention from Shaye he was receiving.

Michelle followed after them at a distance, watching them quietly from the top of the small hill, frowning out of longing. Hating himself for the day back in the alley when he'd screwed himself over with ever taking her away from Vaix, or taking a place in their company. He let out a sharp breath of air as he watched Shaye longingly.

Shaye nodded and followed along side Vaix. "Wow, this place is amazing" She breathed, looking around. The park was full of flowers and even had a small pond with ducks and various other water fowl in it. She pulled on his hand, wanting to get closer to the pond. A small bridge went over it and she walked out on to. Hopping up, she sat on the railing, heedless of how precariously blanced she was. She smiled at Vaix and waited for him, hands resting on the wooden beams that supported her.

Vaix followed her across the bridge, leaning on the beam she sat on and staring at the green pond water below. He sighed, loving how it reflected the harvest moon so perfectly. He looked over at Shaye, her hair turned silver by the moon light. He smiled, placing a hand on her's as she sat on the beam.

Shaye returned the smile, before hopping off of the beam and leaning against it. She stared into the water, loving how the moon and stars looked in the water's reflection of them.
"What a beautiful place" She breathed, leaning her shoulder against Vaix's as she stared dreamily into the water. She felt almost like she couldn't look away, she smiled drowsily, wondering how the others were doing back at the hotel. She hadn't bothered to tell them they were leaving, but she figured they would be busy doing their own thing.

"Very beautiful," Vaix agreed with a nod, laying an arm over her shoulder as she leaned against him. He loved the moon, he always had. Like a sun without all the fire, it still managed to light the sky in a glorious silver light. He watched the water calmly, almost mesmerized by the way it moved, he leaned his head to Shaye's, smiling contently.

Shaye nodded her head lazily, completely caught up in the movments of the water. She absentmindedly picked at the wooden beam, tossing the small slivers of wood into the depths below. Each time one hit, it sent out a small pool of ripples around, blurring the images of the moon, stars, Vaix and herself. She grinned, her face resting on her arms as she stared into the water.

Keith yawned and stretched out, half-waking from his nap.
"Mmm" He murmured, eyes still shut, almost like he didn't want to wake up. He shifted, laying on his stomach now, fingers of his left hand brushing the floor. He buried his face in one of the couch cushions, completely unaware of Roxa for the time-being.

Vaix sighed, watching the water ripple like a liquid glass. His head hung limply off the beam as he stared at it's depths, so calm it almost cried out to him to be touched, disturbed in it's calm. He smiled, watching the moon blurr again as another splinter rippled the surface in a teasing way. He tilted his head one way, then the other, then looked over at Shaye, staring at her in the same mesmerized way he'd stared at the pond. In an almost admiring way.

Roxa looked at Keith as he shifted around, smiling and looking back at the back TV screen, then searching for the remote, pressed power and turned it t the nearest cooking channel.

Shaye finally tore herself away from the pool. She glanced at Vaix, a small smile crossing her pale lips for a brief moment.
"What?" She asked, feeling a bit self-concious at the admiring look he was giving her. She glanced down, staring at the boards of the bridge, not really sure what to say.

Keith's head snapped up as he heard the TV come on. He glanced around groggily before noticing Roxa and seeing the TV.
"Hey, oh sorry" He said, quickly dropping his long leg from her lap and shaking his head. He often needed to stretch out when he slept and tended to forget that other people needed space as well.

Vaix's smile lifted higher for s second in amusement at her reaction. He shrugged at her question, continuing to watch her in the loving admiring way he had before. "You're so pretty," he whispered, angling his head to look at her face as she stared at the floor.

Roxa looked over with a soft smile, "you don't need to apologies Keith, it's fine. She scooped up his legs and placed them on her lap again, not minding in the least if he wanted to sprawl out and cross over into her space. She leaned back contently as she watched her TV program.

Shaye smiled a bit, knowing if she had been human she would have been blushing like crazy. She raised her head and shook out her dark hair, before letting it settle prettily on her shoulders.
"Thank you" She murmured softly, turning so she was facing him and pressing her face into his chest. She purred gently, loving his scent.

Keith sighed, "Thanks" He said, relishing the chance to stretch out.
"You really like cooking" He commented, still laying on his stomach, his head turned slightly so he was facing the TV. He wrinkled his nose, making a face.
"When I still ate human food, it was never that fancy" He commented. Having been alive when cooking took all day and was more simple, including salted meats and lots of mead and some grains.

"Hmm," Vaix murmured as she came close, he took in a deep breath of air, wrapping his arms around Shaye and enjoying her company. He blinked as Michelle's scent washed past his nose, he tensed, then looked over out of the corner of his eye at the shaggy vampire staring at them longingly from a distance. He smiled, almost tauntingly, daring Michelle to intervene. Watching was as close to having Shaye as he'd ever get.

"Yeah, I wouldn't eat most of this stuff myself when I was human. I just like remembering when I could. I'm still fairly new you know, my mother and father died only five years ago..." she winced at the memory, the last of her family dying off, and her moving in with Iggy as her denial about being a vampire finally ended.

Shaye too noticed Michelle's scent, glancing around she caught sight of him. She narrowed her eyes for a moment before retuning her attention to Vaix. She was irritated that he had so odviously followed them, her, but she couldn't do anything about it. Hopefully he didn't do something stupid, because she doubted that Keith or Vaix would have the patience to let him live a second time. She pressed her face into Vaix's chest, the small wind blowing sending her hair flying out behind her a bit. She laughed softly, and automatically shortened her hair a bit.

"Right" Keith said, shaking his head. Roxa was so young compared to him and the others, well the others except Shaye.
"My parents died in 780AD" He said, laughing a bit at the memory. His father and brother had been traders and he had stayed at home with his mother to help rasie the younger children. He frowned suddenly, they may have lived longer, if not for him. Sometimes laughter was the only way he could forget what he had done.

Vaix blinked in temporary confusion as he lifted the hand wrapped around her back, only to find a section of her long hair missing. He smiled, raising his hand up to find her shortened hair, then resting his hand to her shoulder. He smiled, then kissed her forehead, ignoring Michelle's scent to the degree he could. Though, he was contemplating yelling over to Michelle in a request for him to leave, seeing as how he was taking away from the moment currently.

Michelle stopped dead when Shaye looked straight at him, he'd tensed to run off if she'd told Vaix of his presence, but by this point he'd figured Vaix had already known he was there, and it was obvious they weren't planing to attack him currently. He sighed longingly and sat down, but didn't do anything else.

Roxa sighed at Keith's laugh, it was happy, but obviously covering things of pain. "You don't ever forget your family no matter how old you get, do you Keith?" She looked over at him with a sad smile, knowing that, if Keith was still in pain after living for so long, she had a long way to go before her pain began to ease.

Shaye laughed softly at Vaix's temporary confusion. She glanced upwards and pressed her lips to his. She smiled, completely ignoring Michelle's presence. She wasn't about to let him ruin this moment, it was perfect. She sighed and pressed her face into his chest again, inhaling his perfect scent as she did so. She couldn't believe how happy she was.

"It's not so much that Roxa. No you never stop missing your family" He said softly. "It's more that I was responsible for the premature deaths of my family" He said, shrugging his shoulders. That's why he tended to avoid talking about his family.

Vaix smiled as she kissed him, at that moment forgetting Michelle was there completely. He purred loudly, though not at all in a forced sounding way, then lowered his head to gently kiss her neck as she hid her face against him. His arms, which were wrapped around her, gave a mimic hug my tightening for a couple seconds, then returning to their previous state. He smiled, staying perfectly still as he held her.

Roxa blinked, then nodded, "I thought you told me Sara pushed you to kill your family. Wasn't it her fault?" She frowned in confusion, looking at Keith for an answer, "I mean, your not responsible for something you were forced to do..."

Shaye echoed his purr, completely content for the first time in quiet a few days. She sighed, shifting her weight for a second before going still.
"Mmm, I love you" She whispered softly, pressing against him once again, loving the intensity of the moment.

Keith sighed, "Sara did force me to kill my family. But I still hold myself responsible" He said, shrugging. No matter what anyone said he had always and would always believe the fault was his. He had never told anyone how she had complelled him to kill his family and he never intended to.
