Anrah wouldn't have liked to admit how she froze when Avalai's fingers drew across her face. She couldn't much say she was surprised that there weren't many dark-skinned vampires, maybe they were discriminated against even in the world of supernaturals. She was actually quite surprised by the woman's excitement at seeing her, though. Surprised and oddly satisfied- as though a parent had just congratulated her on a good grade...or at least she thinks that's how it would feel...did she ever have that experience? Either way, satisfied.

She had to suppress her own smile as Avalai dismissed Will, and could see Taeyang's struggle as well. It seems they both were holding a bit of a grudge against the man already. She jerked back in surprise at Will's retort. Didn't Taeyang tell them [i]not[/i] to rock the boat?

With a growl that would make her think he was a werewolf, Taeyang stood a bit taller, and a more threatening air swirled around him.

That [i]idiot.[/i] Taeyang's mood shifted in an instant. He may not like Miss Avalai as much as he did Evelyn, but he held her in high regard and respected her for the length of her existence. She was close to [i]Dracula[/i]. The big guy. The legend. there was no doubt that there was something in her that was more important than anyone under her.

When he shifted in front of her and [i]growled[/i], he knew he wasn't going to get along with this kid. He surprised himself by the action, as his laid back attitude had completely disappeared, something he wasn't used to; but the thought of this fledgling disrespecting an Elder, an Elder of Elders, pulled out his basic instinct to protect those above him.

"Watch your tone, William." he warned, teeth lengthening as he stood in front of Avalai and Anrah.
