Kinn watches curiously as the king does not finish his rather sparsely laden plate. [i]'We must put a stop to that as soon as possible. Whatever is keeping him from eating, I will have to ask him because food in very important to all living things'[/i] He tilts his head, a light pop coming from his neck at the motion, but his eyes stay trained on the king as he stands. He nods submissively and follows after the lord as he leaves the dinning hall, his focus on the man in front of him. [i]'He really does put on a tough front. I wonder how hard that is. His servants seem to know he's sicker than he acts, but they are keeping it to themselves for the most part. I wonder if that's under orders. I really should find out the relationships here between he and his underlings. It will help me act appropriately'[/i] His focus shifts ever so slightly as he takes in the palace's many little bits and pieces that make the surrounding more pleasant. They are not in the halls long however, the king's first destination close at hand it would seem. As they pass out into the open air Kinn makes sure all of his flesh is hidden before he too steps out into the sunlight. [i]'It is good that it is an densely populated garden. This provides a lot of shade. However I should perhaps remind him the detrimental effects of such places on my health'[/i] Even with the slight misstep by his new master Kinn does take the opportunity to admire the local flora. The many colors speckled about the lush greenery makes him sigh softly. It has been quite the long time without such sights. Eventually the king stops and Kinn picks a spot near to him beneath a Japanese maple to stand within ear shot of the man. The thick leaves and flowers allow him to push back his hood, allowing his long hair to fall loose and his eyes to wander more freely. The fresh lush smells around him Make the vampire sigh softly, taking deep breaths. His face remains neutral, but inside he does get a small thrill of pleasure from the exposure to nature. His attention however is soon caught by the human as he asks about what Kinn does between summonings. He lets out a sigh, the same question asked of him a hundred times by a hundred different souls, some not even the ones he was summoned to. [i]”I suppose the like of a summoned creature wold be a curiosity for most sentient beings, having never experienced it for themselves, and the chances of ever doing so slim to none'[/i] His head tilts to the side and he murmurs, “I sleep. It is less a sleep and more a state of being unaware of anything. Like a candle that is not lit, I have no light, and there is nothing of me for me to be. I do dream on occasion, but I am not sure how often, since measuring time would require my knowing that time is passing. My dreams are memories of my summonings past. As the creature I am, I can not make new dreams, only review my memories.” His head tilts tot he other side. “Speaking of what I am, I would request that you remember what I am and perhaps not lead me into the sunlight without warning again. I can become a little focused at times, and should I not catch myself, the painful burns would be my only warning before I am burned beyond repair.” His voice is not angry or with reproach, a simple tone of query and a polite request.
