The alabaster vampire with the lion-like golden eyes quickly finished all of his drink and set the mug on the table. Praetor and Mira had arrived, non-nonchalantly conversing as they approached the kitchen. Perhaps they were used to strange guests, which would make sense with such a poorly defended house. Perhaps it meant Mira already had a qualified guardian... 

Mithias met Praetor's cool, suspicious gaze. Unfortunately, before he could say anything remotely stupid, Mira stepped out to answer a knock. For the moment, he looked back to Praetor, who was eyeing him, and his lethal gear, up and down. He bowed to the vampire with the silver sword, paying no heed to his rudeness. "Please forgive my unannounced arrival. I come on invitation from the Lady Mira Kingston regarding a private matter which we are to discuss. I needed to investigate before agreeing to meet with her." He shared a knowing look with Praetor. "Killing a lot of vampires earns you powerful enemies now doesn't it?"
