The dragon smile slowly dropped as the woman  spend out her response. He would have lied if he said it was the first time he heard words out to cut him where it hurt. His siblings were the sort to sharp the teeth on each other. He didnt stop her pushing away from his hug. It was good nature, but... she wasnt really angry at him? 

A tragedy still hunting her, Dan understood that she was needing Tholo maybe more than the werewolf needed her. He took off his hat just when she was informing her own friend that she will do something on her own and her jab on the humans nature to fear and dislike, even in a extreme towards the unknown. 

''Béatrix '' He called just as she was about to leave hoping she would hear his words. His voice a serious tone, reflecting his believes. ''The story only ends when the protagonist gives up, not before. You may only need a second or a hundredth chance to reach your happy chapter once more. ''

He made a elegant bow, his eyes closed. Watching her back leave the cafe. It hurt, a fairy tale person, he was indeed one. Someone who searched the comfort of the happy ending regardless how cruel the tale becomes along the way. Somewhere in it there will always be a chance for a happy treasured moment. He may be a idiot for  clinging to it, but he rather be that than face the world as a cold unwelcoming place.

He took a deep breath, he was so setting off some fire crackers later on. The dragon slowly look over the older vampire and Mia. ''Could you pack me a few pieces... nah, a whole chocolate cake for taking out?'' He asked Mia a smile wide and happy on his face. Not for the first time he enjoyed having the bangs of red hair covering his eyes, hiding away the fire that burn in them.

'' Solenne, as her friend, I hope I can rely on your support to help them both. I will not ask what happened, but their fate didnt pair them up for nothing, dont you think so too? My mom kept saying that the soulmates are the carrier of each others heart most needed medicine. ''

He placed the hat back on his head. Taking the wallet and pulling some bills out. Over paying the cake with little care. Planning to leave once Mia packed the cake order. The vampire had his visit card, and Dan had the card of the vampires manager. If they needed to contact each other they would easily do so. Today he had to scold Tholo for hiding the date, and see what his stand is on it all. With a clear goal in front of his eyes it was easier to move forward. maybe he missed his soulmate because if he hadnt he wouldnt be there for his friend.
