[h3][color=ed1c24]Axel J. Black[/color][/h3]

Axel spent most the rest of the night, just observing the group. There was a moment were he had to stop himself when a reaper mentioned his race in a accusatory tone, but he let it slide. Any normal day, and Axel probably would have started a conflict right there and then. He didn't want to bother the inn keeper and his family with the trouble of cleaning up after him. The highlight of the night was when Criston started talking about retaking territory from Marcus. Axel was sure that a few people in the inn had noticed the immense amount of blood lust that poured from him when Criston mentioned Marcus' name. If it wasn't for Marcus, The Vampire Council wouldn't have joined him on his conquest and Axel's father wouldn't have had to exile his only son. Just thinking about the whole ordeal made Axel furious. He didn't show it, but the aura he put off was definitely there. When the meeting was convened, Axel picked up the groceries and left to go tell his Landlords that he would be leaving with the group.

Axel walked into the inn and waited for whoever was going to lead the group. He had arrived early and waited eagerly to get this show on the row. He watched after people slowly started to trickle in, but it wasn't until the presence of an imposing woman that he hadn't seen before walked in. She introduced herself as Vikki and then explained that she would lead the group until Maria Cross joined back with us. She explained everything about the swords and what the group will do after they retrieved them. Although Axel was listening intently, apart of him couldn't get Vikki out of his mind. She was human, and he could sense it. He knew this feeling well. He had felt it plenty of time before and he hated it. The thirst for blood. Axel ordered another Bloody Mary, and tripled the usual dose of substitution blood. He continued to listen and, when she asked if there were any questions, Axel stood up and gave a smile, [color=ed1c24]" I have one! Do we know which swords the main group will be picking up, or is the element of the swords unknown until we retrieve them?"[/color] Axel stepped closer to Vikki until he was just outside of arms length, [color=ed1c24]"I'm pretty sure close to everyone will want one of those swords, I know I do, but wouldn't it be easier to decide who gets it before hand? This will help mitigate conflict before it even happens, Correct?"[/color] Axel's smile never wavered. He extended his hand inviting Vikki to shake his hand and said, [color=ed1c24]" The names Axel, Axel J. Black."  [/color]
