Lucio chuckled when Anna had shot Verna a look. He watched Anna leave and put her drink away. On her way back he had watched her bump into a stranger. He watched him kiss her on the hand. Lucio sat back into the bench slightly irritated. He didn’t like getting jealous or angry, because when he did, it was never a good thing. Vampiric emotions are something very different from human emotions. He watched as they conversed for a little longer. 

He looked at Verna, rolling his eyes when she had made that remark. The fact that it didn’t get very far made him feel relief. Maybe it was best not to get attached to anyone. He didn’t like games women had played. Normally he just cut ties. He figured she was interested in him, but perhaps he was mistaken.

He let out a slight, quiet, and dull vampiric growl when the man had kissed her again leaving with her only friend he had made. He didn’t have a reason to be at the ball. He only said he would go cause there was one happening. The fact there was a ball at this moment was just happenstance. 

Lucio sighed when Verna asked if he wanted another drink. [color=00aeef]“You weren’t supposed to remember anything from that.”[/color] He figured his compulsion was a little weak. He hadn’t tasted vervain in her blood, nor did she have a blood of a werewolf. The big thing was she wasn’t freaking out at least.

He bent over grabbing his empty glass, walking over to the bar with Verna, asking for refill. The bartender filled up the glass and Lucio quickly downed the mug. He turned over to Verna. [color=00aeef]“Let’s go dance for a little bit before I leave.”[/color] He said to her wrapping his arm around her arm as they walked out. They arrived at the center of the square as music played. It was a slow song. 

Lucio danced with her, after a few moments he leaned over looking into her eyes. [color=00aeef]“Forget that I’m a vampire. We’re just friends. Every time I come to you, you’ll know what I want to do and forget everything afterwords.”[/color] He said compelling her again. He knew it would work this time around. She nodded and they continued to dance for a few more minutes.

As the song stopped and played the next one, they worked their way off the stage.
