The cat, however, didn't go near her, much less hurt her. After a minute, he sniffed and raised his hands once again, in the motion of hugging her back, but they stopped a few inches from her back. ....he'd hurt her. But he wanted to hug her....no. Her well-being was more important than his nonexistent feelings.

She noticed his hesitation. "You won't hurt me, I promise." She reassured him. "I'm a vampire, I can heal. You can't hurt me." Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

"Just because you can heal does not mean I cannot hurt you..." Superhuman healing capabilities did not prevent nerves from working. She would still be in terrible pain if he did hurt her. And God only knows she didn't need more of that.

"Physical pain means nothing to me. I'd figure the memory you saw would at least show that."

2015-07-18 11:03:57

🌀

....it meant something to him, though. Very slowly and carefully, he moved his hands the last few inches to at least touch her back, if not squeeze her in a bear hug.

●

She felt him touch her back. "...See? I'm okay."

2015-07-18 11:07:25

🌀

Was she? She said she didn't care about pain. She could just not be saying anything. "You are sure...?"

2015-07-18 11:08:48

●

"I am certain."

2015-07-18 11:11:39

🌀

He tightened his grip ever so slightly, closing his eyes. ".....good."

2015-07-18 11:12:25

●

She didn't respond. Instead she tightened her grip and closed her eyes as well, her head resting on his chest.

A day or two later, the door to the shop slammed open and Cale stormed in. Wow, the place was getting a lot of traffic recently.

2015-07-19 03:29:42

●

"Please don't break my shop Cale." Lance called from the backroom. Of course he knew it was Cale. No vampire walks in here like that apart from him. He knew Cale well enough.

2015-07-19 03:31:30

🌀

He didn't come up with a witty retort to that, just yelled back "Where's Ivory?!"

2015-07-19 03:33:48

●

"In her room, skyping a friend. Why?"

2015-07-19 03:34:31

🌀

"Because I saw something a couple of nights ago in Zane's memories that /definitely/ shouldn'tve been there!"

2015-07-19 03:35:36

●

He stopped. So he saw them too? Well then, this was interesting. Lance had seen a few as well but...no reason to bring them up to any party. "Oh? What did you see."

2015-07-19 03:38:05

🌀

"/Ivory/ of all people getting shitty driving lessons!" He narrowed his eyes at Lance's calm response. "You know something about this, don't you? What the hell is going on?"

2015-07-19 03:40:05

●

Lance turned to face Cale, his expression filled with that permanent seriousness. "It seems like the voices inside Ivory and Zane's head decided those memories would be a wonderful way for them to 'bond.'"

2015-07-19 03:46:39

🌀

"Fucking...of course they did." He ran a hand over his face with a groan. "There isn't only one either, is there?"

2015-07-19 03:49:36

●

"Unfortunately no, and I'm afraid it's not going to get better anytime soon."

2015-07-19 03:50:13

🌀

"God. DAMMIT. I'm going to strangle those devils until they fix this. And she's getting his too?!"

2015-07-19 03:58:19

●

"Yes, and it wasn't just the devils who were apart of this, apparently Zane's angel was in on this as well."

2015-07-19 03:59:09

🌀

For a second he gave Lance a blank stare. "Oh, haha, very funny Lance, not. No way. I bet that guy's Jesus incarnate or something."

2015-07-19 04:01:20

●

"No. No he isn't. I had the unfortunate event of talking to him personally." He stared back at the shorter male, folding his arms. Yes, he did not like Madison. At all.

2015-07-19 04:03:05

🌀

"Great, so the guy's a dick. That hardly even makes sense. How the hell does Zane do it? Ugh, I'm strangling him too, then. And none of these assholes know how to fix it?"
