[color=lightpink][b]Kyran[/b][/color] [indent]"[color=0072bc]I've been using cheapo two-in-one shampoo plus conditioner from grocery stores.[/color]" The dismay on Kyran's face was instant and obvious. He wanted to ask why another human being-- Scratch that, Kyran wasn't human anymore and this guy was barely with his mage blood. Why another [i]being[/i] would subject himself to the catastrophe that is 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioner was way beyond the young vampire's comprehension. After a moment of being absolutely dumbfounded, he even opened his mouth to argue against such blasphemy, but when his gaze raised to find Rolf's, the mage was stepping away. Kyran blinked, his eyes following him as he circled, eyebrows furrowing together. "[color=lightpink]You can tell all that?[/color]" he said, poking at his own, sensitive fangs. They had sprouted quickly and fully, and they still hurt at times. Did pure vampires take longer to develop? He scowled at his ignorance, but he knew that was exactly why he was at the academy. It was either learn the way of the vampire or... His thoughts trailed off and his attention found Rolf again as the mage stilled, if clumsy. "[color=lightpink]You're pretty smart, huh?[/color]" he asked, mostly rhetorically. He supposed that if he had to be roommates with any mage, he was lucky that it was one who had actually put time into understanding vampires. "[color=lightpink]Wait, roommates? Is that what this is?[/color]" Kyran looked down at the envelope, eyes lingering on the address. "[color=lightpink]Honestly I thought this would be an ice breaker exercise, but that makes more sense. Yeah, let's find that place.[/color]" He cleared his throat and looked around, entirely unsure where to start. [/indent] [color=a187be][b]Rowan[/b][/color] [indent]Rowan laughed, low and genuine as Lilith dismissed her as a danger. "[color=a187be]Oh, Lilith, [i]of course[/i] I am a danger to you. I'm a vampire, love,[/color]" she reminded her partner. Her gaze wandered and Lilith may have found herself wondering if the vampire was even listening. There was a mix of interactions and she found pride in the civility between her and Lilith. They were far below Rowan's concern, but she was not ignorant to the clashing between mage and vampire as it happened. She spotted the men standing by on guard and she mentally commended the princess for her preparation. "[color=a187be]Your concern with your mortality is...refreshing,[/color]" Rowan commented in a puzzled tone. Being a vampire who lived her life surrounded by other vampires before humans or mages, Death was always a distant threat. It was something she failed to take seriously, but she tried to be sympathetic to Lilith's anxiety as the mage looked around, on guard. "[color=a187be]I am unversed in magic and especially spirits, but I won't be needing a replacement, Lilith. I'm sure you'll learn what you can at this academy--it's why the Princess established it for us.[/color]" She paused, tongue running under her fangs behind her painted lips. "[color=a187be]You are my mage, and I'll learn what I can, as well. I want you healthy and safe. Keep me informed on what you need for help.[/color]" It was honest and polite. Just like the Princess intended the academy to speak to her reputation, Rowan felt the same about any she would call a subordinate. With the matter--in Rowan's mind--settled, she looked down at the envelope. "[color=a187be]Shall we find our new home? I'm sure its beautiful.[/color]" [/indent] [@The One] [@Azereiah]
