KISS THE CORPSE

                                ⊰ •;  Stagnant lugs fill with a deep inhalation to flow an audible exhalation pass lips. Arms fold over one another; a brow inclines, feeling judgment is pass prematurely on the one he covets. Although his feelings strong, being the CATALYST for such a large disagreement within the family does make him feel like a juvenile with a revolt against his elders — even if that not be the case. To think one act of ANTIPATHY before a resolve: before feelings found care and fondness to bloom into healthy roses would cause so much turmoil in those other’s Aluin holds dear. Still, the baby bat does not find defeat so easily.  

                                ❛ MEETING BANDIT will let you pass judgment of your own — and see that things aren’t as they seem to be. Things change – FEELINGS change and that accident is but a SMALL PART of it. I thought you of all would understand — more open minded than my father… And I thought you of all would not underestimate even what a little approval could achieve. I will not allow this hate for Bandit to continue without PROPER JUDGMENT. At least allow your dislike to be just. ❜  A flicker of doubt still lights within his still heart, but if he could feel such longing to be but close to the virile wolf in just a WEEK — such STRONG longing he would invite him over in the first place — how could he stand being broken up? How could he stand being unable to talk to; kiss; hug; embrace Bandit? The wolf is the one who makes the vampire feel the safest despite violent actions. 

                                Aluin’s stubborn demeanor cracks, another sigh flows while digits reaching for the GLASS OF BLOOD. He raises it to his lips to drink down some of the fluid, bringing it back to the surface, eyes stare into the liquid rubies as if looking for the answer to this dilemma… as if it could indeed tell him. If his cousin feels this FIRMLY, fear rises to what his siblings would think. Amber, Alois, their approval certainly matters.  ❛ I have no intentions of allowing anyone from either side to get HURT. And I trust you won’t seek him out without cause… but I think I’ll stay longer, the more I am with you, the less you’re with Amber. ❜ ;• ⊱

      ⊰ •;  Aluin UNDERSTANDS where his dear cousin is coming from given how things seem, but Aluin DIDN’T want to hear it. He’s been TRYING to be more secure in his relationship with Bandit ( @banditborn​ ) doubt him less,.. but Claudius was HITTING him right into one of his FEARS: being used for sex, AGAIN.And for the longest time, Aluin didn’t think him and bandit were ever going to be more than friends with benefits, which is why he thought of BREAKING THINGS off a few times. Aluin sighs and tries to keep calm, but he already feels that misery washing up on his surface.  ❛ You haven’t met him… I get why you’re worried, but don’t you think he’s being UNFAIRLY JUDGED? ❜  Aluin tries to keep the thoughts back, now biting down on his pinky finger. 

        ❛ Did my father put you up to this?❜   ;• ⊱

“Twilight? You mean those emo discoballs?” Chester clarified with a clearer laugh, only laughing harder as he heard that the woman mentioned was eaten. A hand barely covered his mouth as his shoulders shook with laughter again. “As long as she didn’t douse you in glitter; I’m glad you ate her. Prey that would walk so willingly into a predator’s path – they’re not fit for survival.”

He chuckled and nodded, “I am still a human. Kind of? It’s a long story~. I’ve been a witch for over a century thanks to a series of poor choices and a lot of sacrifice. The immortality just seemed to stick.” 

An awkward smile built on his face // He was used to finding someone so.... pleasant ? Looking to the side to see the other still calculating his total he gave his attention to the witch beside him. ❛ Ah, is that right? had you have any official teaching or is independent practice more your style? ❜ 

“Because it’s almost pitiful,” the witch offered a carefree laugh and leaned on the counter as the attendant continued to ring up his purchases, “they think they’re warding off evil while eating common weeds. It’s like watching an idiot try to speak prose without flinching every time they repeat the one smart word that they can recall.” 

“I ought to just plant some nightshade and watch them drop like flies for being so careless - but I have a little sympathy for the blighters.” He moved aside as his supplies and antidotes were given to him. 

The other seemed in high spirits -- Claudius would try his best to not ruin the mood of the shop. He was a guest here and he did enjoy how easily he got his hands on these supplies. Nodding he placed his box upon the counter and turned to the other. ❛ Sympathy? I had that once ... and then the woman tried to make a TWILIGHT relationship with me and then I ate her. ❜ Seduction was his bait, so of course he'd eat the woman who fell for it so willingly, especially when she KNEW he was a vampire. He took pity and tried to let her go but she came back, so the Mystic vampire took the opportunity to indulge in her for dinner.
