[Center][h2][b][color=Gold]Morrigan Cade[/color][/b][/h2] Interacting with: [@Scribe of Thoth][/center] [Color=gray][color=8585ad]”That works just fine for me, provided you hold yourself to the same standards. I don’t think Id be able to handle trailing dead weight around—excuse the pun.”[/color] Morrigan blinked, was that a bit of humor amidst the icy mire of the young mage? He bit back a chuckle, trying to pass to off as a cough. Meanwhile the party ebbed and flowed near the duo, mostly ignoring their existence. He noticed bodies starting thread through and slip out of the entrance. [Color=Gold]”Don’t worry, I’ll do my share. I have a lot of hope for what is to come,”[/color] he said with a soft whoosh of air. Though breathing was a human thing, it wasn’t uncommon to some vampires to use it as an emphasis in their words. Such subtle things picked up over the years while mingling with humanity. He cast a sideways look back at Maxwell, perhaps they would get along in the end? Help bridge the gap. Though it seemed almost an impossible task for him to take on. [Color=gold][i]One thing at a time,[/i][/color] he reminded himself. The first step was to learn more about Annabelle. Maxwell's voice stirred him back from his thoughts, [color=8585ad]”You done with this party, or am I gonna have the privilege of watching you have a million [I]thrilling[/i] conversations about Lady-So-and-So’s dress with these gossiping hens?”[/color] [Color=gold]”You have to admit, she did look stunning,”[/color] Morrigan retorted with a wink before looking back over the waning crowd. [Color=gold]”But, I only came here for you. So, no, I have no desire to talk to more people I don’t know than I have too.” [/color] He turned up his thumb and pointed it back towards the entrance. [Color=gold]”Ready to go see where we’re staying for the next some odd years?”[/color] Morrigan waited for less than a minute before starting towards the exit. He had come to do what he accomplished—meet the new partner, which only went mildly awkward. He was peopled and vampired out; more than ready to change into something less [i]formal[/i].[/color]
