Lucio was about to respond to her until she thought about it for a second. It was true, going to his room wouldn’t be the best option. When Verna had asked if he wanted a refill he was going to say yes, but Anna had declined it. He shrugged it off. He would just get one later. [color=00aeef]“Thanks.”[/color] He said when she said their drinks were on the house. He took another sip knowing it’d be his last at the same time Anna had taken hers. 

[color=00aeef]“Alright, follow me.”[/color] He said putting the mug down, walking to the door of the inn, opening it. He motioned his hand for Anna to walk through the door. As she had left the inn he looked back at Verna, [color=00aeef]“Have a good day, I’ll see you later.”[/color] He said giving her a brief wave. Verna gave a smile, looking at Anna through the door, then back at Lucio, [color=92278f]“Goodbye!”[/color] She waved and winked at him as they left. She figured it’d make Anna jealous and wanted to have some fun with her. It wasn’t everyday Anna had been up and about. She seemed to have become more active since Lucio had arrived. She felt he would hopefully be a good change for her.

Lucio closed the door when she had winked at him, turning to Anna. He motioned towards the road that led out of the small town. [color=00aeef]“Let’s go this way, there’s a trail that leads to the woods.”[/color] He said while they walked along the road. He looked around to see if anyone was listening. He didn’t see anyone and he looked back at Anna, [color=00aeef]“So, I didn’t come here to kill Alphonse.”[/color] He explained slightly moving his hands as he talked. [color=00aeef]“It was coincidence. I’m afraid that-”[/color] He stopped talking for a moment as the trail he had talked to appeared.[color=00aeef] “This way.”[/color] He motioned his hands toward the trail. The split off the road, [color=00aeef]“I’m afraid that it was just pure luck that I happened to be in this town when your old friend had come back to visit.”[/color] He was quiet for a few steps looking around at the scenery and the green lush foliage that Swiftburgh had. [color=00aeef]“I’m sorry that all of that had happened. I wish I could’ve done something different for you.” [/color]He apologized trying to think of some way to try comforting Anna. He scratched his scruff thinking of something more to say. [color=00aeef]“I hope you’ve been okay these past couple days.” [/color]

As they continued on the path through the woods they came upon a little river, with a small waterfall. The water at the bottom of the waterfall had split off into several different ways, turning the river into several creeks. 

When they approached the spot Lucio walked over to a tree and leaned on it with a hand on his hip. He scratched his beard again, [color=00aeef]“I am actually a vampire hunter, but I don’t really actively hunt them out.”[/color] He took a deep breath looking at the waterfall for a moment. He hated lying to someone he didn’t want too. He looked back at Anna, [color=00aeef]“As for your old friend, I have no idea why he attacked you. I’ve seen vampires change drastically compared to their human selves. Some don’t change at all.”[/color] He said and shrugged once looking down at the ground playing with the grass for a second. [color=00aeef]“The mayor seems to run some kind of council though.”[/color] He said looking back up at her eyes, [color=00aeef]“And don’t say that to anyone, I don’t really know what this [i]‘council’[/i] is about.” [/color]
