There was pure malice in Alek's predatory eyes. The pupils were dilated and all the veins grew prominent and a deep red.
He stands in utter silence and mouths his next sentence.

'So you herd rumours that I was sympathetic to humans, gone soft even. Well don't be mistaken, I am no Louis de Pointe du Lac or some Edward Cullen, I am Dracul.'

Behind his back blood trickled over his fingernails, slowly seeping from just beneath the overlapping skin. It oozed and hung down off his fingers but did not drip, instead forming into small sharp razor solid claws.

At the mention of his name he desperately lashes out with blinding speed. The direct blow traveled straight for the throat. A decapitation. No messing around. 
He underestimated Aconites speed and his attack fell inches short of its Aconites face as the assassins blade dug deep into his forearm. His focus broke, the sharp claw like nails fall apart and instead of death they simply deliver a small spray of red.

Alek winces in pain but holds his silence as he withdraws his arm to cradle the wound. Without words his eyes fall to Cara as she stirs. His shoulders slump with defeat as he nods to the window. Not another glance was given to Aconite as Alek took to the floor beside Cara, worry taking hold of his face.

(When and if the assassin leaves, Alek will decide to deal with the poison himself over using or trusting the mortals public health system to cure a poison concocted by a supernatural.

A gentle small cut over her breast where he will place his open wound and then he will sink his fangs into her wrist. Alek will act as a filter as their blood entwines and passes through the both of them.
The transfusion meant that all the poison would end up in Alek's system, also at the same time Cara would ingest a large amount of Sabine's blood and feel the draw, lure and attraction to Sabine that such a large quantity would cause. Thereby making Cara susceptible to Sabines will, should she choose it.) 


(Alek never aimed to kill, the blood flung onto Aconites face was a high concentration of sun-sensitive cells tightly compacted and temporarily sealed. After a short moment in the sun it will burst and ignite, burning brightly and prevent healing.)
