When the order was given to Blunt, Lily heard the door open. A gentleman entered. He looked...pale....and tired. Either way, it wasn't Lily's job right now. "Fuck you Blunt if you think I'm taking care of him too, he's yours now." Lily called to the kitchen.

Hunter entered the restaurant slowly. Did he need to eat here? No but he needed some place quiet to take the edge off. So much stress. /So much stress./ Okay. breathe Hunter. No one is going to her you here. Just pretend everything is fine like you always do.

While they prepared the food, I leaned forward onto the table to rest my face in my arms and sighed softly. At least it was relatively quiet here. I heard the door open and looked up again. Ah. It was that German hunter. I waved.

Hunter's eyes were caught onto the male as he waved. Hunter waved back and moved over to Seculus's table. "I didn't expect to see you here." He greeted. "Do you uh...mind if I sit with you?"

"Not at all. In fact, I would welcome it. I wasn't under the impression that vampires required food, how...ever..." Blunt had come over the second he sat down and I trailed off when I realized he could hear my side of the conversation.

Blunt sighed, but picked up his order pad and went over. Well, it /was/ her break after all. Pale guy sat at suicidal guy's table. Good. He caught the tail end of the talk when he approached. Ah. That made sense. Though why vampires even bothered coming to this restaurant, he'd never know. Well, aside from Lily's girlfriend, but that was a personal thing.

The second Lily heard 'vampire', her attention was brought to the table. Hmmm? Pale guy was a vampire? Why was he here then.

"I don't- I mean, they don't but...I just need some quiet." He sat down. "Things have been a little busy lately, and I need quiet."

"If you need quiet, go to a library, don't come here. Then again this is probably to best place to blend in at." Lily spoke up from her table, facing the two men. "Though you not eating will stick out like a sore thumb."

Wait. What? Their reactions were completely unprecedented. Why weren't they looking at us like we were insane? "...uh....well, don't we all, but..." I turned in my seat to look at Blunt and the gray-haired girl. "...you know about vampires already?" Blunt shrugged. "Yeah. Not exactly hard to. There are way too many around here to not cross paths with one sometime. Just don't try to snack on anyone and we'll get along fine."

"Considering the fact that my partner is a vampire and also comes here to visit me on a regular basis, yes. I do know a thing or two about vampires. Everyone at the night shift does." She took a sip of her coffee. "Also that I'm getting turned on my 25th birthday is a thing too."

Hunter bit his lip. "That's...not a good idea." he spoke quietly, mostly so the silver haired female wouldn't hear. Please don't fight him, he's precious.

2015-05-31 19:22:59

🌀

...well, that was convenient. I glanced back to the vampire in question. He certainly was set against turning, wasn't he?

"No, it's not. We also get the whole depression thing, one of the girls hanged herself last year. So if you want to talk." He gave me a look. I shuddered. It was almost disturbing how well he'd predicted that.....

2015-05-31 19:38:11

Hunter quietly stared back at Seculus, as if his eyes were trying to tell a story. Probably were, something like this always had his heart of his sleeve,

"Mhmmm. Shame too. She was such a sweet girl." She winked at Blunt. Oh yeah. Those two banged in the back room before the whole incident happened.

2015-05-31 19:42:45

🌀

He let out a long. /Long/ sigh. "But everyone /else/ meets at my house sometimes to talk about suicide. If you want, feel free to come." He totally wouldn't make him through brute force for his own good. Not at all.

....I wasn't sure quite why he was staring at me like that, but it seemed like he was attempting to communicate something. I'm sorry, but I don't get it. "Um...okay, thanks?"

2015-05-31 19:47:00

●

He looked over at Lily. "Look, before you do anything rash. Just think long and hard about it. There's no going back once you're turned...you can still care for someone and be human. It's hard, but it can be done."

"Bah." She took another drink of her coffee. "Save your breath, I've been thinking over it for the last five years. I know what I'm doing."

2015-05-31 19:50:50

🌀

"....speaking of which....wait, what is your name?" This was directed towards the vampire.

2015-05-31 19:59:06

●

"Hunter." He brushed his bangs out of his face.

2015-05-31 19:59:56

🌀

Hunter? That name was borderline ironic. "Hunter, then. Tassek, Terezi's boyfriend, has been having her feed on him, and I'm afraid he's going to attempt to make her inadvertently change him...what do you advise?"

2015-05-31 20:01:26

●

Feed off him? That sounds like a bad idea on its own. "Well, from what I've been told, and from her file, she is strongly has been against turning. If she wasn't, well I wouldn't of been called down." He thought for a moment then remembered something. "Have you by any chance...seen her covering up her neck more than usual? Her seen any bruises on her neck, hypothetically?"

2015-05-31 20:04:10

🌀

I thought about it. "Well, she does quite a bit already...I suppose she did have some a while ago, but according to dar-- ....Tassek, she somehow tripped and hit her neck on the curb. Of course, he was lying. But where would they come from that would affect this?"

2015-05-31 20:07:27

●

"...Has it ever accorded to you that he might be biting her? Because if he is, well, he is asking for a death sentence in metaphorical and somewhat literal sense. You might wanna tell someone about this that can do something."

2015-05-31 20:10:33

🌀

"..............." .....biting her? No....no it didn't.... "That's.......um.....w-well, I was going to go ask Zane originally. Oh, I don't suppose you know who that is though...biting..?"

2015-05-31 20:14:56

●

He nodded. "It's...kinda something that's hard to explain. I don't know much about it myself other than that it is a really dangerous thing."

2015-05-31 20:16:32

🌀

"Oh, bloody /joy/. Of course it is." I sighed and rested my head on my hands, running my fingers through my hair. "Well, that just makes finding a way to stop it all the more urgent."

2015-05-31 20:24:05

●

"Well at least make him realize he's making a horrible mistake by doing that."

2015-05-31 20:24:47

🌀

"He doesn't listen to a word I say. So he'll just keep doing this until he's dead, or turned, or both, and Terezi will freak out, maybe she'll leave again, and..." I was breathing quicker, and my hands had clenched into fists tangled up in my hair. ....calm down, Seculus. Calm...dammit, I can't, I can do literally nothing in this situation!!

2015-05-31 20:29:32

●

Shit, the guy was freaking out. He reached over and grabbed the male by the shoulders. "Calm down, please. If you pass out then this will be bad for the both of us... Maybe you and I can talk to this...Zane,fellow. He might know what to do."

2015-05-31 20:32:40

🌀

Blunt also put a hand on his shoulder. Man, this guy had it rough.

I took a deep, shaky breath. Calm. Calmmmm.... ".......sorry. Yes. Let's...let's do that." I probably wouldn't pass out, though. That was darling's problem, not mine....his problem, not mine. Right. Maybe I should apply that to more things.

2015-05-31 20:39:06

"Just...just breathe. Okay? Focus on that."
