[color=f9ad81][i][b]Rowan Delacroix[/b][/i][/color] The look of uncertainty on Rowan's face transitioned to one of more concern as Leval spoke about his past. She noticed his fingers reaching up to wrap loosely around his right arm but she didn't pay much attention to it. The mention of young vampires seemed to spark a series of emotions and memories that the human wasn't too fond of. His attitude towards the end of his statement triggered something within him, and his amiable aura had become quite ominous. She felt tempted to reach out and comfort him, but Rowan knew not how to respond to his tale. Following his slight pause towards the end of his recollection Leval's body startedto expand into the intimidating creature from before. The vampire knitted her brows and pursed her lips.

Is it really possible for creatures with two different mindsets to coincide with one another?"[/i][/color] Rowan held her breath for a moment. [color=f9ad81]"I-... sorry."[/color] She was unsure of what she was actually apologizing for- was it for bringing up unpleasant memories or was it on behalf of her whole race?
