As Azrael sat next to Evangeline, she wrapped the cloak he had given her around the two of them. Azrael wasn't affected by the cold like the girl would be, but he appreciated the gesture, she was a very kind girl.
She pulled a book out from her belongings; Azrael had been unaware to the fact that she had brought such a thing with her. He glanced at the book but could not discern what it was or what it was about, he had spent a lot of time without reading anything that wasn't larger than a piece of paper meaning his knowledge on books was quite limited. He knew of no great authors or famous literature.

As she read her book, the young princess’s head started to wilt and soon it was leaning against the Vampires shoulder. He smiled and rested his own head on the rock behind him. The time they had spent together had already been so hectic and Azrael was impressed by her willpower, whether it was how she stayed awake for long periods, or the fact that she’d already survived a fatal attack so early on in her adventure. Since becoming a Vampire, Azrael had rarely experienced such excitement as he had travelling with this human girl. He hoped he could continue to travel with her, albeit, with a little more protection over her from himself. He didn't want her to be put in a similar situation as she had thanks to Elizabeth.

He words flowing into the cold night air, his head angled slightly up as he stared at the stars through the gaps in the tree tops. No matter where he was, he was always attracted to the stars in the sky.

[i]“I do hope that such a thing will not happen to you again. I admit my guard was dropped with Elizabeth around, but I will not make the same mistake again. I promise you that.”[/i]

He looked at her pale face as he said those last words.
The girl rubbed her eyes and yawned softly.

[i]“Perhaps you should try and get some sleep while the fire is still burning. I will keep watch tonight, but I do not think anyone will find us here. Tomorrow we will keep going north until we find a town, and we can find you some better fitting winter clothes.”[/i]
