Melina chuckled a bit, and hugged back when Karn hugged her, figuring there was no reason not to. [b]"Mythy... Of all the nicknames, that's an odd one to pick for Mithera."[/b] She ruffled his hair a little before letting him go. She licked her lips, and smiled again when he asked if her powers made her vampiric. [b]"I guess they do a bit... Vampirism, hmm."[/b] She looked thoughtful, and moved out of the main congregation of people, chucking when Karn starting massaging Mayt's back, and began reading her book on blood magic again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mayt was caught off guard when Karn actually started massaging his back, and stopped him after a moment. [b]"I didn't mean that seriously, but thanks for the effort."[/b] He motioned for Karn to head off back in front of him. [b]"I think it'll probably take a chiropractor to actually make it stop hurting, but for now I'll wait it out."[/b] He started to pull his legs up, since the pins and needles were finally going away. He sighed, and looked about. He gave Penny a wave, despite having been talking to her, before scooting so he was in front of the book case.
