[center][h3] [color=FFB6C1] Darling [/color][/h3][/center] [color=FFB6C1][i] There are some vampire that like being the mages' first bite. The first to cause the pain, the first to take and taste and be the only one. I've never felt this way, they are so inexperienced, so ...unsure and scared. It ruins the flavor and the moment and...why does this girl want to make me feel like a bad person for wanting what we both know that she is here for?[/i][/color] Of course Josie would never dream of saying this type of stuff out loud. But she always disagreed with this policy of babies being life long feeders. As a young child, she always just drank from blood bags or from what ever mage her father happened to have around at the time. After feeding they'd always hug her or spare an almost motherly final word. She though that they also enjoyed it. It wasn't until she was nearly eighty that a new one mentioned the discomfort they felt. Her father sent that mage away the next day, but it was an illuminating lesson. It also taught her the value of experience. Breaking in her own mage was just [i]so[/i] tedious. She all but ignored the girls uneasiness until they found their way into a more secluded part of the garden. [color=FFB6C1]"I've brought you another gift,[/color] she said lightly, pulling out a small, tin box. She opened the lid to show six perfect rose shaped chocolates. Each one a different color in the center and brushed with a dusting of gold. Delicate petals swooping together and ending in a carved leaf. [color=FFB6C1]"My father loves art of the swiss chocolate maker who crafts these. I'm told by his mage that they are the best tasting in the world,"[/color] Carefully she plucked one of the dainty roses out, took Aine hand and placed it in her palm, carefully not break the fragile thing. She then replaced the lid on the box and tucked the chocolates back to where they had once been. [color=FFB6C1]"I'll shan't beat around the bush, and I don't want you to spend time thinking on it,"[/color] she said suddenly. [color=FFB6C1]"What is the saying you Mages use darling...quick like a bandaid?[/color] She reached out and took the girls wrist, the one connected to the non-rose baring hand, pulling it close to her lips. [color=FFB6C1]"It'll sting a little, but that should be all the pain you feel. Unless you struggle or try to pull away, in which case a fear it gets much more painful. I'm going to count backward from three, and on one, I want you to bite the chocolate, it is my hope that it will distract you from the sting of the bite,"[/color] she paused a little, purposely not giving the girl proper time to digest everything that she was saying. [color=FFB6C1]"Three...two....one"[/color] Then she bit.

[color=FFA500] [i]Miss[/i] Kanalie,"[/color] He said, stepping closer to her. [color=FFA500] "I would never dream of biting someone unwilling. So until the day he tells me it is okay, I'll will not lay a hand on him. That is a much better deal that a simple [i]never ever[/i] and one that I'll be much more likely to stick to[i] M'am[/i],"[/color] He spare Alex a passing glance[color=FFA500] "As the Lady says, we simply must depart [i]Alexander[/i] Enjoy you...vampire love and leave with these parting words until we meet again. I hate it when you leave, but I love watching you go,"[/color] He watched Alexander pass to his own vampire before turning his attention back to the girl in front of him. [color=FFA500]"Well,[i] M'am[/i] if you wanna go somewhere a little more [i]private[/i] where we can get [i]comfortable[/i] I suggest we retire to our dorm. I am so looking forward to see if they leave up to the legend.[/color] He offered out his arm, an offer to escort her. [color=FFA500] "Shall we [i]Madame?[/i][/color] The dorms were not horrible far away. Less than a five minute walk if they didn't dally. [sub][@Achronum][@KiwiBaer][/sub]
