Watching and listening intently to effectively understand the way this was to play out, the hunter watched as several people, including a rather well known Licentia, raised their hands. He had half a mind to raise his own, but he restrained himself and waited.

Then came another man, who stepped close to the speaker and told him something, something that Mairyell was able to pick out due to his significantly enhanced senses. [i]A prison break was it?[/i] he thought as he pushed himself from the wall he'd been leaning on. This was a game to that man, he concluded, searching the crowd for others he might understand to be likely picks for this mission.

His gut told him it was a bad idea, that was if they didn't plan it properly. People would get hurt...there might even be casualties, but if he went along....

Mairyell shook his head, but while he'd been warding off the urge the speaker had disappeared from the stage and made his way through the crowd and to the hunter and his sister. [b]“My boss pointed you two out to me,”[/b] he said, smiling at them, though there was a seriousness to his tone as he called over the clamor of voices that had erupted upon his ceasing his earlier speech. [b]“Would you be willing to help us out and come along? I know you're in the business, I recognized your face when he took the pictures.”[/b]

The vampire looked Roger up and down, drawing air through his nose to learn his scent. He wanted to know who this guy was...but that was something for later. [color=#2E6A95][b]“Yeah, I think I'll go along, though I'm not sure about her,”[/b][/color] he nodded his head at Aeris. [color=#2E6A95][b]“I'm Mairyell by the way. Though I'm fairly sure you know me as Sanguine,”[/b][/color] he replied, a dead serious look on his expression—though there was some boredom in his eyes.

[b]“Yeah, I've heard of you. Name's Roger,”[/b] he held his hand out to shake. Mairyell pointedly decided not to return the favor, letting him hang awkwardly for a few moments before he began retracting the hand. However, when he did so, Mairyell's own shot out and grabbed it, shaking it even as the action elicited a brief look of surprise and alarm from the speaker.

The handshake ended and as it did Roger turned to Aeris, smiling, [b]“What might your name be then, and would you be willing to join our cause?”[/b]

Little Kasio eyed the man who had introduced himself as Roger with mild interest while he spoke with her brother. When the time came, and he turned his query to her, her expression changed to one of a thoughtful nature. [color=#3098C1]"My name is Aeris. Nice to meet you, Roger."[/color] She was silent for a few moments, before simply smiling and shaking her head. [color=#3098C1]"I'm not interested in joining something that will start a war just yet. However, I will follow my brother wherever he chooses to go."[/color] Her voice was soft, and carried the smile that she wore. 

Roger nodded and smiled before taking a step away from them, turning to go elsewhere, [b]"Alright, well I'll see you in a bit, next meeting is a few blocks away. 2354 West arid drive,"[/b] he said, giving them the address before he melted into the crowd, departing the duo. Mairyell raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Aeris. [color=#2E6A95][b]"I'm a little surprised you'd come along just because I'm participating,"[/b][/color] he said with a look of mild curiosity and amusement.

[color=#3098C1]"Well, someone has to be there to watch your back. We don't know any of the other individuals, Mai. I won't leave you to them."[/color] Aeris' voice was strong, an air of protection in it. She wouldn't be separated from him a second time.

Smirking  with a gentle look in his eyes, Mairyell nodded before looking away, seeming pleased. [color=#2E6A95][b]"As good a reason as any,"[/b][/color] he said quietly, though he knew she'd hear him regardless. It was a nice feeling to have someone who cared, let alone one who could watch his back. It would be helpful in the days to come, he thought. Hopefully he could help this little resistance become something bigger...something that could make a difference.

For once, he really hoped so.
