Hopefully, your friend here hasn’t forgotten her name after stealing those cute glances at Emiliano here.”[/color] Tilting her head back the slightest, her mouth curved up into the smallest smile at the word "friend," a term she hadn't used mockingly in some time now, just to play with people's dependency on trust. She glanced toward the young woman that had approached with Avyanna, and in all honesty, looked like a nervous wreck compared to the others here, which was dangerous given the circumstances. The weak link. A foolish part to play, yet deadly if she knew how to play it right. But Avy doubted that. Only fools showed emotion, and luckily she wasn't a fool. She looked back toward Kasiana, but didn't say anything, before turning her attention to Emiliano, the one Irene (who's name she had learned when listening) was sneaking glances at, though she couldn't see him well due to the fact Kasiana happened to be blocking her view of him from her as well, which was unfortunate. The one thing she [i]did[/i] notice was the putrid scent of cigarette smoke. One that made her scrunch her nose in reaction, causing her to silently curse lung cancer upon him, though knowing it wouldn't happen. [color=ebb000]“Sorry, you’ll have to excuse me from this cute little gathering, I have some business needing my attention and I can hear a strong drink calling my name. Oh yeah, I’m Octavius Zeno, by the way, and just as terrible as all the rumors you’ve heard about me. Nice to meet you both, but just a tip agnellino, dogs can smell your fear, and Milo can be quite the aggressive one. Anyways, Good luck.”[/color] Avyanna was tempted to laugh. She really was. Just something about the phrase "dogs can smell fear," that just made her shake her head. [Color=fff79a]"Ah yes, but you must've forgotten that the cornered cat is the most dangerous of them all,"[/color] she mumbled, watching him leave the group, which was a bit rude in her opinion, but he [b]did[/b] seem to be the flaky type. Not one to stick around. But as she was thinking this, another introduced himself, Niklaus. [color=AA91D2][b]“Niklaus Tepes, pleased to meet you both. Could I get you anything to drink? I would most love to hear the tales that brought you here today.”[/b][/color] At this, Avy chuckled, placing a well bejeweled hand on her hip and shrugged. [Color=fff79a]"Well, I've never been one to turn down a free drink, so I suppose if you'd be so kind,"[/color] she said, her free hand resting lightly on her collarbone. She had two favorite hobbies: The first one was gambling, and the second was drinking. Now, one may think those are two very irresponsible hobbies, but as a vampire, she'd like to think of them as skills. Ones she very much enjoyed doing. There had been a time where she would've [i]maybe[/i] taken a bit more precaution before acting upon instinct, but that time was over the moment [b]time[/b] wasn't an issue. Plus it was [b]fun[/b]. Now, she was surprised when Irene had rushed over and had gotten her own drink, Avy half expected her to play the damsel is distress, but she turned her attention to Emiliano, who had gotten up and rested his chin on Kasiana's shoulder, in a friendly manner, or more? She raised an eyebrow. [Color=fff79a]"You two seem...close,"[/color] she spoke up, gesturing to the two of them. She was certainly curious about their relationship, considering she'd never let anyone get that close to she herself, but perhaps they were just friends, though she had to question. [Color=fff79a]"Anyhow, would you mind if I took a seat?"[/color] She asked politely, moving her thumb over her rings repeatedly, a little quirk she had picked up over time. [hr]
