Rabbit was just beginning to stir when he felt his bed-mate suddenly tense up. Did Roue suddenly remember what he'd done the night before and realize just what Rabbit was, the little vampire wondered nervously. Before he could say anything though, the elf had thrown the comforter over him and was, from the sound of things, hurriedly grabbing up his clothes and dressing. And then was out the door without a word.
"F-fuck," Rabbit muttered, unburying himself from beneath the comforter as he sat up in the bed.? The spot where Roue had been was still warm, but was cooling rapidly now that Roue's deliciously warm body was no longer there to sustain it.? Roue had probably fled in fear, believing himself in danger. Which could be really bad since the elf was unfamiliar with how the doors in the Dionysus Club worked and could find himself hopelessly lost if he stepped through the wrong door at the wrong time.? Rabbit quickly dressed himself and hurried out into the main part of the club, hoping to find the elf before that happened.?
He found Roue hunched over a table in one of the more secluded corners of the club's main room, sipping at a glass of something that looked like water and looking thoroughly miserable. Biting his lip, the little vampire approached the table, hoping the elf wouldn't flee at the very sight of him. ?
"R-roue?" Rabbit ventured, his voice hesitant.? "Are you, uhm, you know, okay?" He fidgeted awkwardly, trying to think of what to say.? "I'm sorry 'bout, uhm, you know, what I did.? I mean, I w-wanted to tell you, but I couldn't figure out how to...." The little vampire blinked as he suddenly remembered something.? "W-wait a second.? I... I heard you s-sayin' stuff.? In English.? I know I d-did."? He peered at Roue suspiciously.? "C-can you understand me?? I mean, like for real?"
[Roue]
Roue didn't even realize nor hear Rabbit coming closer, being too busy wallowing in his self-induced bout of doom and gloom.? Thoroughly focused on and now nursing his third cup of water, the elf idly dragged his finger along the rim as a trail of softly glowing blue light followed the path, frost cascading down the exterior side of the glass, cooling down the liquid.? His own eyes were glowing the same as well, half lidded as he kept muttering to himself.? It wasn't until Rabbit? began to address him that the elf reacted at all, suddenly startled out of his own daydream, standing up so sharply that his chair simply fell back with a loud "bang!"..? As their eyes met, Roue turned a bright share of red from head to toe, turning away as he bit his lip, not really knowing what to say and then suddenly it all spilled out.
"I-I'm okay...You don't have to apologize at all.? I mean, I was the one who was out of my mind and completely took advantage of the situation.? That wasn't...that isn't how I normally am, I swear...I've...I've been taught better than to act that way, and yet I still forced myself on you...probably did some...umm...really bad things...to you...A-are you okay?" he kept back pedaling, totally not realizing that only did he fully understand what Rabbit said, but also answered him in kind.? Wait a minute...? He stopped for a beat, frowning to himself as he looked back with eyes opened wide, pointing to Rabbit, then to himself, and then back to Rabbit again as it all started to click.
"W-wait a second...do you...can you understand me?" he asked in disbelief, one hand flying up to his mouth, touching his lips as .? His eyes stopped glowing at that point, returning to their normal azure color, albeit a bit darkened due to the dimness of the light around them.? "Either I've just become very adept at reading your lips or I'm hallucinating..."? He reached down to pinch himself, but as he had proved in that moment, wincing, that it was indeed all real.? How in the hell was he suddenly able to understand Rabbit?? It just did not compute...
