Raven walked hand-in-hand with the five year-old, humming as they walked through the white walls of the hospital, in her free hand, dangled a wooden basket filled with goods and presents for the sickly.
It had only been, what? Four days that Raven had bumped into Zoey on the streets, and instantly, a friendship blossomed. Zoey was absolutly the sweetest thing, and that's kinda how they ended up here. Zoey had wanted to go on a shopping spree, and give it all to those who went to this hospital, and who was Raven to crush a little girl's dream? Besides, it was all for a good cause. "Ray?"

A voice broke into Raven's mind, and she blinked her green eyes, looking down at the little girl. "Yes?" She asked, smiling. Zoey wore the white poka-dotted dress that Raven had bought her, with a black bow in her hair that kept it up, and Raven had to admit, the child looked adorable. Raven, on the other hand, had her long, recently straightened, purple hair down. She didn't wear a dress, though Zoey thought she should have. But Raven went with her signature ripped skinnies, and a Of Mice & Men sweatshirt. She wasn't really up for dressing up, unlike Zoey. "You think they'll like our gifts?" Zoey asked, giving Raven's hand a nervous sqweeze. The lil' girl wasn't sure whether or not they had bought the right things.

Raven gave a nod, though Zoey couldn't see it. "I'm sure they will. You picked out alot of great things, love." She murmured, taking a left. Stopping outside a room, Raven let go of Zoey's hand to take out a white teddy bear, eating a heart, and handed it to the nurse, instructing the older woman to give it to the girl inside the room with cancer. She would have wanted Zoey to personally do it, but they weren't allowed inside the room at the moment. The woman, who looked to be in her late 30's, nodded, and Raven took hold of Zoey's hand, and continued on. "We're doing a great thing, you know! I'm so happy!" Zoey chirped, giggling. Raven laughed, sticking out to tongue to wetten her lips, feeling the two metal orbs on her tongue. She absolutely adored her venom piercing. It was simply epic.

The snowy haired male arrived right out front in a rather expensive looking black SUV with windows so tinted that it was impossible to see anything inside at all, just how he liked it. Many people wanted his head and there were heft bounties on him, riding or walking around here was certain suicide and he was a man that did not like taking such risks, Kazuma should not have even been out here at all to be honest. There was something that he needed to acquire that none of those simpletons working for him could ever whip up to abolish what was running through his veins; he Kazu had to go out himself and fetch the ingredients and it was enough to make his blood boil. Never did he lift a finger for anything other than to fight his younger brother, Takashi, whom had been wanting him dead ever since he found out that Kazuma purposely killed their parents all in the name of money. For years now they had been at each other's throats though neither one could ever deal the blow of death to the other, something stopped them each time. Deep down in both of the Makoto boy's hearts there was still a brotherly love no matter how much they wanted to smother it and extinguish the feeling.

Kazuma slipped out of the vehicle with his dark purple hood drawn up covering the awkward wolf ears that he donned and slithered his way into the main doors of the hospital building clutching his right arm as he felt a sharp pain. Something was causing the mutated genes to act up and his shadow chain ability had been on the fritz because of it, randomly lashing out and ripping his skin whilst at it, shocking himself at times, he couldn't bare it any longer. Those bumbling fools said it would take weeks to synthesis a treatment and he wasn't going to wait that long, and so Kazuma found himself needing to steal right from the mortal hospital's lab for the certain chemicals that they needed to complete it. If he was successful, it would take only a day or so, if not... He would buy his way out of jail.

Two toned eyes bounced about the room as he took note of the security cameras and staff on duty, not many people where actually here besides them. Kazuma acted casual, his strut rather flamboyant as he crossed the lobby area and past the waiting room searching for a map of this building that would help him find out where the lab was; he figured it would be odd if he were to straight up ask one of the staff as they may find him suspicious. He soon found himself playing with his tongue ring as he searched about and stumbled upon something that he was quite surprised to find, two scents very much different from those of mortals to be exact. Usually creatures didn't come here, not that he was aware of anyways, but it being the only hospital in Sotu it may be a last resort to those with dire needs. Shrugging, he tried not to get sidetracked, and headed off down a lengthy hall not really paying attention that he was actually growing closer to the two individuals.

[Raven Sykes]

"-Thank you so much..." The man paused, tears shining up his eyes. "For this!"  He laughed, gesturing to the candy/flowers and cards. Raven watched as Zoey hugged him, smiling brightly. "You're welcome, sir!" Zoey chuckled, bouncing back to Raven, and reaching into the basket, grabbing some stuff before she went to another open room, and delivered her gifts. "Have a great day." Raven chuckled, turning out of the room to wander into the room Zoey had gone into, though she made sure she stay out of the room, and somewhat lean against the wall, smiling as she listened to Zoey and the other little girl's conversation.

She didn't really pay any attention to those around her, or the fact that were was another supernatural besides Zoey and her. She just...listened to Abbey and Zoey's talk. It was adorable. Beyond adorable, really. Curling a finger around a strand of her hair, Raven peeked into the room, watching the two chat like they were best friends, and hadn't just met. "Hey, we have to go soon, Zo-zo. But we'll be back to visit Abbey another day, kay?" Raven spoke up, hating to seperate them. But it was true. They had others to get to. Zoey nodded sadly, kissed Abbey's forehead, they hugged, then Zoey walked out, taking out a bumble-bee with large eyes, and some candy, and then tilted her head at someone..or something.


"Sir? Are you visiting someone?" Zoey called out, smiling kindly, and Raven followed her eyes. There was a male, looking rather mischievous with his hood up, walking towards them. Raven knew she shoudn't suspect him of doing wrong, when she didn't even know him, but there was always that little part of her that had to. Raven stiffened  as his non-human smell, and kept a hand on Zoey's shoulder..just in case. And she waited to see if he would answer, and keep going. Keeping her lips in a thin line, Raven let her eyes travel to his appearance as he came closer. Not bad, not bad. And she laughed into her mind.

[Kazuma Makoto]

Damn, you would think that they would make things easy to find in this place, not like the maze from that old movie The Labyrinth, it made him frustrated and he was more than sure that he had become lost. This corridor wasn't at all the way he wanted to go, it appeared to be just a hallway filled with rooms of the sick and nothing more."Dammit... I knew I shouldn't have taken a right back there..." He cursed to himself in a rather thick British accent that he had held onto ever since his family had left Europe, Kazuma was such an odd one; an American with a Japanese name and a European accent, not to mention a genetically altered creature. No wonder he was such a fuck up like everyone thought. A low growl expelled from the tall and very much scrawny male at both his confusion and at a surge of pain coming from his left arm now, a quick pang of electricity hitting him soon afterwards which sent him grabbing for the wall. Kazu had a high tolerance for pain but this was getting a bit too much and was making him unbelievably uncomfortable.

For a while he stayed pressed close against the wall just in case he needed to lean on it for support and kept his head and gaze downward, the excess of his hood casting a shadow on his face. He had still not realized the duo heading towards him yet and it was not till a petite voice pipped up that he even was aware of others nearby, Kazuma quickly shot up looked ahead with his gold and purple gaze to find a young girl accompanied by what he assumed either to be her older sister, or in these days, her mother. Biting his lip as he showed hesitance in answering her, he tilted his head upward a bit in a snobby manner and looked down his nose at the child."Did your mummy ever tell you not to talk to strangers? Im afraid my business is none of your concern, little one." Cold, yes. Even to children Kazuma was still quite the bastard and he couldn't care less either. He was heartless and knew it, but also, he didn't need anyone knowing of his intentions of stealing chemicals from the lab here. His cold gaze soon turned onto the older female wanting to say something but bit his tongue and decided to walk away in that feminine strut of his, not once noting that his hood had fallen from his head and his furry white wolf ears bounce out.

[Raven Sykes]

And Raven found herself scoffing. Right when the words left his mouth, she wanted to punch him. Zoey looked hurt when he said the words, mainly because of the WAY he said it. All she wanted was to know if he was visiting someone, and if he'd like to give him/her a present. It was difficult to anger Raven, usually, but she coudln't get over how rude he was! "Well someone's on his man period!" She hissed quietly, feeling Zoey's fingers wind themselves in hers. "It's alright, Ray." Zoey murmured, but Raven wasn't convinced. How can someone be so cold?

"Take this basket, Zo." She grumbled, and ushered Zoey back into Abbey's room. She wasn't just going to let him talk rudely to Zoey, a little blind girl, and not feel bad. Even if was likely going to rough, Raven was going to figure out what was barking up his tree. "Hey!" She called, balling her fists as she closed Abbey's door, and followed behind. She knew something was up with this male. He was different. Which Raven was perfectly fine about, because she was different. She was always different. "What's your prob-" She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly noticing something. Yep, he's defiantly different.

Raven let out a little startled gasp, gazing up at the long, trianle shaped ears sprouting out of his head. Raven was a werewolf, but she had never, ever, saw anything..like this. "Wha..Wha..?" She couldn't even manage the damned words out! That's how much of a surprise it was. Espiecally when there was friggin humans walking about, and this..they could either believe it was some kind of joke, or there was those humans who knew all to much about supernaturals. Holding back a squeal, Raven stood by his side, and yanked his hood back on. Remember that little mean part of Raven? Yeah, well that voice kept yelling at Raven, telling her to leave his hood off, and let him deal with his own problems, but how could she? Raven knew what it was like to be alone..misjudged, thought of as a 'freak'. Hell, she lived with that abuse all of her life! Always outshined by her siblings. "Idiot.." She practically scolded.
He wasn't be careful enough...

[Kazuma Makoto]

It bothered him not that he had nearly made a child cry and had pissed off the girl that had been with her for he was more worried about finding the lab so that he could get the damn chemicals. That was his first priority and all that he cared about. Kazuma didn't notice that the older girl had followed him after he walked away in a sassy manner and tried to ignore her words from before about him being on some sort of 'man period', it caused him to scoff just thinking about it. Sure, one could say that, but Kazu was like this every day of his life. His golden bangles attached to his ears clattered together as he strutted on down the hall finally reaching a damn map of the place and bent over ever so slightly as he examined it, muttering to himself a few times. He did not expect to be approached by Raven at all.

As he felt something yank at his expensive hoodie and pull it down over his head, Kazuma let out a grumble of disgust and whipped around his hands upon his hips as he glared down at the young female with his cold two toned eyes."I say, how dare you touch me. Do you know how much this hoodie cost me? I dont need you putting your hands all over it like that." He snapped out at Raven with a sharp tongue and actually soon found himself looking her over with the ever so slightest appeal. At least the girl had some tastes, he didn't recognize whom was on the front of her shirt but it was quite unique just like the rest of her, Kazuma left his gaze on her as he waited for a response.

[Raven Sykes]

Raven's brows furrowed as the male spun around, glaring at her as she raised her hands into the air, her lips pulling into a tight-lippwited frown. "Gosh, calm the hell down!" She mumbled, eyeing him with her green orbs. She wasn't sure anymore, about how to treat him, or really anything like that. This certainly was a strange day. Grumbling things under her breath, Raven looked up and at his covered head, wondering about those..ears? She even had some ridculous thoughts like; Are they as soft as they look? Would he let me touch them? And of course, she shoved them away with a silent grunt. This male obviously didn't like her, and she didn't want to make an enemy, though with his rude attitude, Raven wasn't sure whether that could be avoided.

"Sorry..." She said at last, apologizing for yanking up his hood, touching him, and rather just bothering him. With new curiosity, Raven gave a small, soft smile. "What are you, if you don't mind me asking. I've never seen anything quite like you!" She spoke rather quietly now, and just hoped he wouldn't reply with something incredibly sassy. She didn't need that. All she wanted was a nice chat, and if he spoke out of line, which she suspected he would...well, Raven would simply walk away, and hope to never see him again. And that'd be that. Sure, it'd be nice to have another friend, so it wouldn't just be Zoey and Raven all the time, but friends don't come easy these days, it seems. Tapping her foot quietly, she waited a bit nervously, and then a new question popped up. Why is he in such a hurry, anyway? Did she ask that? No, she wouldn't dare to, mainly because it had absolutely nothing to do with her.

[Kazuma Makoto]

Telling him to calm down? Pfft, yeah, as if that would work even in the slightest. He did as he pleased and certainly wouldn't allow someone of lower class to be ordering him around. Kazuma thought everyone was below him, so make that no one at all could push the hybrid around. He looked down upon every being that crossed his path whilst riding his high horse, and most honestly frowned upon Kazu knowing what the arrogant man was like and what he had done in the past to both the innocent and ''monsters'' of the community. Kazuma was not a liked person at all, there was only two people that could ever stand him the whole time he had lived in Sotu and those two had since left his life without warning nor so much as bothering to tell him of their leave. Back then he was more welcoming of others, not by much, but you could say that due to them being removed from his life he never brought anyone close to him like his crazy deaf friend Zi and his dear Bellissa. Now, they were gone...

Kazuma, pulling himself out of his deep thought, returned whatever slight attention he had back onto the dark haired girl and gave her the benefit of him actually listening to what she had to say. Crude he was, but at her question he was honestly caught of guard by what she had brought up, showing great interest in him. And to be truthful, no one had ever questioned him about the kind of creature he physically was. Keeping his head high, he responded in his same tone smothered in his British accent."I am a genetically altered lycanthrope and yes these ears are real and no I cannot retract them." Kazu didn't want to give his whole story away to some stranger but enjoyed talking about himself, he was debating on going further when another pain, sharper this time, shot through both of his arms now and sparks of electricity began to fly off of his wrists where his shadow chain normally sprouted from. This caused the white haired fiend to collapse against the wall and tuck his arms close to his chest, Kazuma bit down hard on his bottom lip and tried to ride out his discomfort. What he really needed was to get down to that bloody lab already. Forgetting the girl for now he slowly began to move on down the hallway staying pressed close against the wall.

[Raven Sykes]

She watched him with curious eyes, thinking about his somewhat 'explanation'. She couldn't help but feel a little bad. She didn't know really know him, but when imagining what it would feel like to walk in his shoes, a little pang tugged at her heart. "Oh.." Was all she could say, letting her bottom lip catch on her teeth as she thought some more. Lost in her thought, Raven hadn't seen the male back into the wall, and soon walk off. Not until she perked up, opening her mouth to ask another question, when she finally took notice that the male wasn't where she had last saw him. Letting out a little gasp, Raven turned her head, watching his form leave her there..

Stomping her foot, Raven began to decide on what to do. Follow or go back to Zoey. Follow or...go back to Zoey. Nodding, Raven pursed her lips, and spun on her heel, walking back to the room Zoey was in, listening to the little girls inside, talking about random things."Man..." Grunting, Raven turned back around, and ran/walked after the male. She probably was going to regret it, but hey, she wanted a friend that wasn't a little girl. "Hey? What are you looking for?" She questioned, stopping a bit to glance at him, staying a few spaces away, afraid he'd lash out. "Maybe I can help you. I've been to this Hospital like...ten times!" and She laughed a little.

Twirling a strand of her purple hair around her index finger, Raven continued to chew on her bottom lip, watching him. She took notice of the, crumbled like position he was in, and wandered if maybe he was injured, or sick. She couldn't tell, but her head tilted to the side, humming softly as she waited, expecting the worse. She didn't want to annoy the male..just wanted a friend. Fighting off the urge to twirl her hips like she always did, and spin around as she hummed, Raven tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, then kept her arms behind her back, waiting......a bit nervous.

(Crap. This post it total crap.)

[Kazuma Makoto]

A few suspicious looks from employees and curious ones from others walking down the same hall, Kazuma was almost convinced that this was not going to work and that he would be caught then there would be little hope of curing his condition. It would be slow suffering for the little hybrid from there. Kazu tried not to look like he was up to no good and tried to stay upright though it proved difficult due to the stronger pulses of pain coursing through him, he kept close to the wall and was not aware that the woman he had been speaking with was following right behind him. Never had anyone besides Zi and Bellissa showed any kind of concern for him, no one cared to even bother and he gave them a good reason not to with his attitude and such, but when Raven did so it was a surprise to the white haired fiend for sure. Hood remaining drawn over his head, he slowed down to a pause alongside the white wall and hesitated at his next response. He could be cruel and snotty, downright rude to her, or he could take her up on the offer which would aid him immensely in his situation, Kazu didn't normally lift a finger so this would please him. Gripping his left arm and holding it close to his form, he just nodded slowly an in a thick accent, responded,"The lab. I just need to get to the lab." From there, he knew where to go and what he needed to get even going as far as to write down the names of the chemicals needed seeing as how there was no way he was going to remember them. Hell, he couldn't pronounce half.

Kazuma slowly looked over his shoulder expectantly at the purple haired girl with his two toned eyes, he was waiting for her to begin to lead him if she knew where it was. Even as much as he disliked people in general and doing things for himself, he had reached his limit and was resorting to accepting help, Kazu couldn't stand to wander around any longer and she could more than likely take him to where he needed to be. Clearing his throat, he was cut off as another wave of pain shot through him and he bit back a sharp yelp, the hybrid kept tucked close to the wall to prevent himself from collapsing onto the floor. This truly sucked. Taking in a breath,"I'll pay you any amount of your choosing to just get me there as quick as you can."

[Raven Sykes]

The lab? Raising her eyebrows quistenionally, Raven gave a short nod, wondering if she should hold out her hand and help him, or...what, but looking around them, She finally came around to the idea of just walking ahead of him, hoping he'd follow quickly. "I don't need your money.." She mumbled, beginning to walk. "The lab isn't to far away, if my memory is correct.." She continued to speak, bringing up a hand to wiggle her fingers at a Nurse, who gave them a look. Raven kinda wished Zoey was here at the moment, to sweeten up the Doctors, Nurses, and the people here, in general. They all glanced at the two, like they were up to no good. But that wasn't true. Okay, well it could be. Who knew what this lad's intentions were. But hey, I'm just trying to be a nice person and help!

Turning a corner, Raven craned her neck around, peering to see if the male was still following, and if he was alright, before she glanced around to see if the coast was clear, before she continued on, until they reached metal doors, and the girl peeked inside the little side windows, seeing no one. "Mmm...Here we are.." Pushing it open, she gave a little snort. They didn't lock it..anybody could get in! Holding it open, the girl waited until the male would slip inside. Contemplating whether she should help him search for what was inside of the lab, or if she should leave him be and return for Zoey, Raven kept her eyes out, just waiting, a bit nervously, for someone to walk past the empty hallway, and catch them.

[Kazuma Makoto]

Good, he wasn't too keen on giving away his funds anyways even if he had more than enough to buy Sotu thrice times, Kazu was considerably greedy. Her telling him she'd get him there with no charge was a blessing. As she veered off ahead of him and began to lead him on down the long pristine white hallway the hybrid tried his best to keep up whilst staying close to the wall for support. It would be quite odd for him to even ask for her aid in staying up right and humiliating on his part, he felt so anyways, shaking his head and all thoughts away he pressed on. It seemed that every ten feet or so the waves of pain pulsed even stronger than the last, and as they grew closer to the lab they became more frequent than before. Several times he nearly doubled over right there in the middle of the hall. Kazuma just had to bite his lip and trust that this purple haired girl would bring him to the lab soon.

Moments after thinking such did he see a sign with 'LABORATORY' in bold black letters and an arrow pointing towards the entrance, a sigh of relief escaped him as he noted that. He barely even acknowledged the awkward glances they were receiving from the staff as they progressed closer towards the lab, Kazuma quickly abandoned the wall long enough to sneak his way into the lab once the coast was clear. Not a soul was around the area he was looking to get into, no one at all to bother him, so Kazu quickly got to work retrieving the vials of various chemicals and capsules that he desired. His pockets were lined with them as he stuffed them right full to make sure they could form a proper antidote for his ailment and just in case it occurred more than once. His own private doctors would tend to this immediately after he returned home. Two toned eyes searching about for any medical staff who could potentially catch him, he slithered out just as fast as he had entered, wincing as he exited the lab and as he was struck by another large wave of pain Kazu all but knocked into Raven, scrambling to keep upright.

[Raven Sykes]

Watching out for anyone, Raven tried to keep to herself, keeping her green orbs to the hall , trying to block out the noises that the Male was making from inside the room. But her attention kept turning to him. What in the world have I gotten myself into? So many questions swirled in her head, and she began to think she wasn't doing the right thing. Stealing stuff... Giving a little huff, Raven turned around, peering inside. What's taking so long? She wanted to hiss, but he had to have his reasons. So she didn't. She just kept to herself, letting her slender fingers weave into her thick, layered hair. Her fringe was slightly getting into her eyes, but she didn't move them away. Just swayed by the door, trying to pass the time, when the male stumbled out.

Watching him with furrowed brows, She opened her mouth, getting ready to ask him if that was all, when it looked like he was tipping into her. Not wanting to be smashed into the wall behind her, Raven's instincts kicked in, and her arms shot out, holding him by the shoulders as she straightened, both him and herself. "Are you okay?" She asked carefully. Raven had noticed his, strange spasms of some sort, but never had to actually thought about asking.  She wasn't sure what his answer would be, but she began to move away from the lab, keeping a gentle hold onto him, afraid he'd tip over or, something. "Where's your get-away vehicle?" She asked, wondering if perhaps she was giving the male too many questions to answer, and wondering if he was back to his snappy self. Looking around, Raven noticed how empty the place suddenly looked, and let out a little sigh. Maybe they'd get away after all.

[Kazuma Makoto]

Catching himself was not an option and unfortunately he had to use the purple haired lass for support against his liking, he would just have to deal with it and even at that it pissed him off a bit. Kazuma didn't like being close to other forms of life, as in, touching kind of closeness, so this was rare for him to do such and not bitch about it or flip out in some manner or the other. For once, he allowed Raven to steady him and lay her hands upon his shoulders and rest them there while she kept him from falling over, questioning him further though he barely took note. Right now, he was in an immense amount of pain and wanted nothing more than to curl up in a ball and just lay there like so, maybe just cut off his arms even to stop the onslaught. Kazuma bit his lip so hard that the blood began to pool from his canines digging into his skin, he gave a muffled groan and just tried to stay straight,"Out f-front. Oh, bloody hell, just get me there." Impatient he was but he wanted nothing more than to get the chemical concoction in him to ease his pain before he passed out from not being able to take it much longer, Kazu was on the verge right now.

[Raven Sykes]

Tilting her head, Raven studied the male before she gave a little nod, wondering how she would do this....letting out a little whine, she began to quide him towards the front, though she made sure to stop and grab Zoey, apologizing for her sudden disapearance, and continued on. She was glad that her little friend didn't ask questions. Honestly, she found her good mood fading quickly. Walking down the hallway, Raven turned her orbs to the male. "I'll get you outta here safely.." She just felt like she should possibly be optimistic, so if the male suddenly began loosing hope that they wouldn't get caught, he could hang onto her words....

Turning her attention away from him, Raven felt Zoey's hand tightly gripping onto hers, and she smiled, giving Zoey's hand a sqweeze as they neared the entrance. She wasn't sure if they were going to get away or not. The woman at the front desk looked up, recognizing the two girls from when they had first came in, though she eyed the male, but didn't suspect a thing, and gave Raven a sweet smile . Lifting her free hand, Raven waved goodbye before they exited, and she let out a little happy sigh, looking for a car that could be the male's. One in paticular caught her eyes, and somehow she knew that it belonged to him. Lightly touching his elbow, Raven slowly led him to it, before she stepped away with Zoey, waiting for him to what he needed to, and drive off. "Bye..." She murmured, glancing down at Zoey who swong the basket in her other hand, the one that wasn't tightly clutching onto Raven's fingers.

[Kazuma Makoto]

Great the sooner that they could get out of here, the better because he could not stand to be in this hospital any longer. He wished to retreat home and finally get the antidote in his system to stop these cursed pulses and the immense pain that he was feeling; Kazu was beginning to lose his grip on consciousness. His eyes, gold and purple in color, began to dim and flicker out as Raven drew him through the building towards the main doors were waiting right out front for him was his means of escape, he could only remember a few images throughout their little journey and of course as he was placed into the shiny black car. Kazuma flopped down on the leather seat and allowed his head to fall back against the headrest, taking a moment to gather himself and get a breath. Though before his driver pulled away he ordered the man to wait while he rolled his window down halfway, just enough so he could see through, and looked towards the two girls. Now, you could say that he was a sick and vile man, greedy and arrogant to the core, but when not in the right state of mind like right now he was known to show some sympathy and kindness. Eyes half mast, he spoke in a strong accent."...Thank you. I know that you do not want anything in return but please at least allow me to give you a ride back to my manor and treat you to some fine dining." An offer so rare that not a soul had ever been offered such, when Kazu was feeling normal he never did out of just being... Well, Kazu. You could say that this for Kazu was the equivalent of someone getting drunk and being a completely different person. His two toned gaze roamed from the purple haired woman to the little girl clinging so tightly to her as he waited a response.

[Raven Sykes]

"...Thank you. I know that you do not want anything in return but please at least allow me to give you a ride back to my manor and treat you to some fine dining." His words rang in Raven's ears, despite the fact that she didn't want them to. Just minuets earlier, Raven, along with Zoey, were trash to him, and now..he's inviting them to his house? Raising an eyebrow, Raven slowly let her gaze fall from the male and down to Zoey. Mainly it was up to her. If she was tired, and didn't want to, well, they wouldn't go. But if she was up for it, then by all means, they'll go! Looking down at the girl, Raven watched as her milky eyes turned to Rave's green ones. The little wereling gave a little shrug, moving towards the large vehicle. Following suit, Raven opened one of the doors, and helped Zoey inside, settling her in with a seatbelt, before Raven did the same to herself.

[Vlad Edara]

Vlad walks into the Hospital and goes down to the blood bank there and waits until the crowd there has left before he approaches the clerk at the counter. As he steps up his eyes take on a darker glow as he dominates the clerk and has him hand over five bags of O- blood which he puts inside his coat and walks away. As he leaves the room the clerk comes to again and blinks while looking around like he missed something but then shrugs and goes back to his log book. As he makes his way out to the lobby again he goes up to a reception clerk and inquires about any odd injuries in the hospital such as animal attacks that are not normal. He then as she shakes her head he gives her a smile before he leaves the hospital entirely to go get a few other items before he visits Constance again.
