(Rabbit)
"There m-might be others from this Midgard place you're from," Rabbit said, biting his lip. "But I wouldn' know for sure.? I n-never heard the, uhm, name before you told me about it. I could ask some of the o-others about it though, if'n you want me to."
The little vampire listened to Roue try to explain some of the basics about magic, but only looked kind of blank, clearly not understanding it.? He did flinch backwards though when the elf suddenly set a cloth napkin on fire, fire not being one of his (or any vampire's) favorite things. The other tricks Roue did were not as frightening, fortunately, and Rabbit watched with open curiosity, careful though to not sit too close. ?
"Wow," Rabbit murmured when the elf ended his little demonstration. Looking up at Roue once again, he was quiet for a moment before saying "Your eyes get really, uhm, pretty when you do that.? Is that like, you know, p-part of the magic?"
"How to I get b-blood?" the little vampire said, fidgeting uneasily on his stool.? "It, uhm, you know, depends.? On, like, where I am, and who I'm with.? It's b-better when it's with someone I know, and who kn-knows me and what I am.? But I cain' always c-count on that.? So sometimes I have to go, you know, out..." he nodded at what appeared to be a door on the other side of their corner of the club "...and f-find someone.? I... I kinda, uhm, you know, s-seduce them.? It makes it easier for me to, you know, feed if they're distracted by the s-sex 'n stuff goin' on.? And it makes the blood, you know..."? he looked like he'd be blushing except for the lack of any color rushing to his face "...t-taste better." ?
"I didn' kiss you 'cause.. 'cause you had me, you know, all w-worked up 'n aroused," he murmured, shrugging awkwardly.? "What that happens, my... my fangs kinda, you know, come out.? I was afraid of how you'd react if'n you say my fangs and you didn', you know, kn-know what I was."

Rabbit complimenting Roue didn't help bring the wizard's blush any more down, instead increasing it even more.? Once he stopped his magic display, the glow of his eyes faded and they returned to their typical azure blue, though much more toned down since their environment was quite dim.
"Th-thanks...the eye glowing part is part of the magic, yes, but it's only because I'm an elf," he explained, "But it's less magick-y than it just adds to the mysticism of my race, that's all..."? Sure being an elf gave him a one up on most magic users, there are plenty of human mages that he's met that could give him a run for his money, though it was something he's strived for most of his life.? He did notice that Rabbit's eyes glazed over at his explanation however, feeling like perhaps he was too high level on his description prior to his little show-and-tell.? However, he brushed those away, instead listening to Rabbit describe his own nature.
"Hmm, I would have to read up more on vampires then, as I'm not familiar with that type of race.? Were you born like this?" he earnestly asked, curious.? He tried to imagine what it would be like to be a vampire, having to rely on someone else's life force.? As chagrined as he was to admit, he's tasted blood before, his own, though it was unwillingly.? It tasted thick and salty, and gross, so how did someone like Rabbit thoroughly enjoyed it? ? "How does it taste.. to you, exactly?? Do...do you always have to seduce someone to feed on them?? Is that a requirement of being a vampire...?? Do they know you are seducing them?? Is that why I got so drunk?? I try to stay as far away from alcohol as possible..it makes me do things, very improper things."? There was that noble thing, coming out again.? Roue was still trying to piece last night together, but being drunk told him everything he needed to know without having to recall any of it, whether he could do it or not.? Though the more he rambled on, the more he realized he was getting bitter about it.? He didn't want to appear like he was promiscuous and that this was the typical him, nor did he want to allude to Rabbit possibly having taken advantage of him, but the bitter poison was still on his tongue.? His parents made sure of it.
"Um...forget I said anything.? I hope I didn't make you feel bad.? It's not like I didn't enjoy it..." he mumbled the last part, awkwardly rubbing his arms.? I just wish you kissed me anyway...? Wanting to switch topics, however, he decided to focus on something else.? "Please do ask if anyone from Midgard came through here...? I would be curious to know if there is more than one who came from my world, or if I am truly the first and only to discover this..."
