Maria placed her hand on the doorknob but was once again stopped, this time by a kind voice. She turned her head and stared.He was beautiful. His golden hair and his eyes... one sniff and she knew he was a Kingston. Another family. A shame.She wondered if he was there for a fight or a social call. The Kingstons and the Blackmoores didn't exactly get along, due to their differing opinions on their feeding methods. There was just something about hot blood pumping from the vein that they hated for some reason, preferring bagged blood. It was like preferring a juice box over the most expensive wine.But this one... He approached her and asked for her to sing for him. He said her voice was beautiful...Of course she had heard that before, many times. But somehow, hearing it from this Kingston, was different. It was more... more... she couldn't describe it, but just more.She smiled, revealing her dainty fangs. The smile was the first genuine one she had given to anyone outside of her family. She slipped into Old English as easily as he did. "I could not deny such a request from a fine gentleman. As you wish," she said and curtsied low.Maria paused for a few moments after finishing and cocked her head, smiling softly. "I hope that pleased you good sir," she said. "I am already aware of your family, as you are no doubt aware of mine, so would you reward me with your name? I am Maria," she added, giving her name as well, wanting him to know and remember it, wanting to know him, wanting him to want to know her.

Lucian smiled in return his fangs showing through his excitement, Her voice even when she spoke enthralled him like a siren, But when she started singing so close to him the beauty and power in her voice brought him almost to his knees as he had to hold his hand against the wall to steady his legs, This feeling...could it be real? how could a song make him weaker than any battle drum or war cry? and why did he love the feeling so damn deeply? His eyes never once left hers peering into her soul looking deep down into her very being wanting to know so much more about this enchantress, As it continued the things that were haunting him the pain and memories of all that bloodshed seemed to fade away like dust in the wind. By the time she was finished Lucian's eyes were filled with rapture as if he had seen an angel in the Tortuga..."My L-" He caught himself saying my love and stopped before his own tongue betrayed him, "My Lady...I have never heard anything that could move my cold heart...I felt my heart return to life in my cold chest when you sang...I..." She had asked for his name, "My name..." He couldn't pull it from his mind, "My lady Maria...I am Lucian...Once of the knights templar..." He outstretched his hand and gently took her before dropping to one knee and slightly kissing her fingers, "Madam...If you would be so kind...I wish to give you a gift in song as well...So that you my hear my heart instead of my muttered words..." And with that Lucian began singing deeply from his heart hoping that she of all creatures would see him for him.
