Lucio laughed when she had said that the party was more for the well endowed. It wasn’t too formal. People were still getting drunk and having fun. He didn’t know how formal this was compared to the normality of the town. Luckily he had come to the town when there was a ball. Being able to blend in with all the people was easier when everyone was out and about. 

Lucio looked out into the room nodding and shrugging his shoulders in agreement with Anna when she had said the world was vast, and she couldn’t know if they existed or not. He bent over grabbing his drink finishing it off. He looked over at her when she had said she wouldn’t know what to do if Cassandra had died. He watched her look out into the room blankly for a couple seconds.

[color=00aeef]“I thi-”[/color] His words cut off by Verna. He watched Verna walk towards them. It was the woman at the bar from Drunk Pillow Inn. 

Lucio had smiled when she said he was a nice gentleman. The compulsion had worked, obviously. She would have freaked out the moment she saw him most likely, unless she was into that kind of thing. He had only met two females that hadn’t freaked out when he had fed on them. He was more than 1300 years old at this point. That’s a lot of humans to feed on for only two to have been fine with it. So he had made the decision to just compel them and let them forget.

He listened to Anna when she had asked about her wrist. He put his hand on his chin, scratching it lightly. [color=00aeef][i]‘I probably should feed on her inner thigh.’[/i][/color]  He thought while Anna joked about the vampires being about. He chuckled along with the girls. If only these girls had known what was really happening. He looked at Anna, she had seemed interested in him. He wondered how she’d feel when she’d eventually find out if he was a vampire. If their relationship actually had developed that far. There was no way for him to avoid manipulation, sadly, It had to be done for self-preservation.

He looked at Verna when she had asked him how he liked it here. [color=00aeef]“I like it. It seems like a pretty gentle and friendly town.” [/color]He said giving her a smile. He looked at Anna briefly smirking and back at Verna. [color=00aeef]“She is a good escort.”[/color] He said agreeing with Verna. [color=00aeef]“She’s also shown me where to go and who worked where.”[/color] He looked at Anna bumping his shoulder into her lightly, [color=00aeef]“Thank you.”[/color] He said to her. He hadn’t shown her gratitude and felt like he should. She was his only friend that he had made since he’s been here, given he’s only been here for the past 3 days. The last two days he had lurked on the outside of town, scoping things out. He had known there were werewolves but didn’t know who it was or where they were.

[color=662d91]“I’m glad.”[/color] Verna said enthusiastically. She made a ‘oooo’ noise when Lucio had bumped his shoulder into Anna thanking her.
