{Shudders at your proximity and the way you say that}

I'd love to see just how good a vampire can suck

{Gasps and covers my mouth, then half runs, half drags myself out of the lounge}

- and I stumble to the table, scribbling down my number in harsh movements as I try to fight it. He walks me back to you and pushes the paper into your hand, my words coming out strained}

Just in case. You need to contact me for something. Or you know. Something

{Snorts and gives your arm a nudge as my face gets hot. Smug bastard. Should give him my number. Purely an In-Su thought}

I should go...

{Give him the number. Maybe he'll need to get in contact. Or something. How long have I been standing here awkwardly? In-Su jerkily takes control of my body -

{I can't help but laugh. A genuine sound that hadn't come from me in a long while}

Maybe I'll have to keep hiring you then so you don't disappear after this job is done

- meant something to you. But I was nothing}

No one has stood up for me before. Other than Yuuto... but you're not my brother...

{It's happened almost faster than I can register. I watch you wide eyed. It was incredibly sexy, even In-Su shifts. But was also incredibly surprising. When you come back to me I Iook up at you slightly wide eyed. You were fierce and wild and I could see you would be protective over those who -

- have to decline for the moment...

- it out of the air easily, but hear the hissed words of heretic and abomination. It wasn't the first time but it always stung. Giving you a tight smile I set the glass down and tighten my jacket around myself, feeling exposed from the other customers and you for knowing my secret}

I.. I will -

- while a low growl rumbles through my chest, pure violence radiating from me. And then it's gone. Abruptly. In-Su shoves me forward and I nearly topple into your lap, spluttering.

By now I've gained several ugly stares and as I straighten myself out, a heavy glass is chucked at my head. I grab -

{Getting so close had been a mistake. Everything else you've said is shot out. I should have known a Fae would be able to smell it, especially with the even more heightened senses of a vampire. The hair on the back of my neck raises and I grip the chair arms hard enough that I nearly crush them, -

{I inhale slightly when you move in closer, your sent filling me. Blood and leaves and fae magic. I could even smell some kind of blood in your pocket}

Most bounty hunters don't care. Money is money and they don't ask questions regardless of who the target is. So I'm curious why you want to know

- know what you're doing. Don't think your pretty face will work. He can't tell you anything...

{There was no stopping it. My head rolls across my shoulders as In-Su takes over. Giving you a devilish smile that was in no way Ventus's, I stand and move over to you, hands on the arms of your chair as I hover over you. My eyes briefly flash orange as I very visibly look you over. Slowly}

I -

{Leans back a little, nodding distractedly when you look at me like that. In-Su narrows his eyes slightly}

I don't know what other reason there would be...

- Because of your skills and all. And your Fae-ness. Nothing wrong with your vampness too though...

{And you're so pretty. Would suck to have that gone. I can feel In-Su snort at the thought}

{I hadn't even realized what I said, and sit there blinking at you for a minute. Why did you have to sit there looking at me so prettily}

.. Hm? Well. I mean. You know.

{Waves a hand, suddenly wishing I was high to handle this}

Yea. You're like, Fae too. And. It would just suck to have you die. -

- leg begins to bounce again. I hated when In-Su did that}

I still think he's going to kill you. Or Shiki. One of them will. Which is a shame

{I can feel In-Su's surprise at your gaze. You could see him through me. That was new. He isn't sure how to feel about it. But I was glad. The personality switches, sometimes in the same conversation, was taxing when no one knew what was going on}

Think of it as a lot of money to not know.

{My -
