"All right...." Hesitating, the woman wasn't entirely sure how to react to this slew of strange. Of course, she had clearly witnessed the appearance of several figures before, including one who had attempted to wipe her memory of the event. So she was certainly willing to accept that he came from a place foreign to her. And the great chasms she'd seen in the ground confirmed that some battle had occurred while she was knocked out. But telling this figure that might not be the best move. She still wasn't sure if he was a threat or not, and to what extent his powers remained. "Whatever you say. Of course, if we do manage to pull this off, you're going to have to show me this shit, so I know you're not crazy."

She held out her hand, choosing to currently ignore the implication that he ate people. "My name's Alice. If we're going to be working together, I should know your name."

Mithias stopped and hesitated. He looked at her hand and time slowed down for a moment. Alice was a beautiful name. The lady's offered hand sparked a cordial reflex in him, and he reached to take it gently. He lowered his eyes as he bowed, "Mithias." He answered her, bringing her hand to his fangs. 

Suddenly he stopped, just centimeters away from her skin. He gasped as the fog cleared. Where had his control gone? He was hungrier than he thought! He realized he was holding her hand quite tightly and let it go. "I'm sorry!" He backed away, honestly ashamed and furious with himself. "Please don't kill me... I can't keep doing this. He covered his eyes which had begun to change. 

He tried to explain. "You must... You need to let me go. I am an 'animal.' I need to feed. I didn't realize how bad it was." He lowered his hands from his eyes, unsure how Alice would see him. "I know nothing of your plight. I wish I did, and I wish I could truly help you. Trust me, you have no idea how much I want to help you... but how can I?" Goddamnit! Mithias gritted his teeth. "You must abandon me and look away. Perhaps we will meet again. I am sorry." Painfully, he turned to go, staggering out into the endless wasteland of ice completely alone for the first time in a long time.
