Moonlight Lovers - Neil, chapter 08. Total AP 6,460.
Eloise wakes up in the middle of the day, she can't rest well because of her feelings and Neil ignoring them, she walks through the manor and runs into Neil in the parlour. We have another conversation about his past and then go on the roof to train our reflexes. By the end of the session Neil is impressed and we are both hungry so we go to town to hunt.
Eloise grabs a guy in the square and we share the meal with Neil, he says that it's a pretty intimate act he had naver donw before. Then we walk back to the manor and discuss about the other vampires, with options of being more or less friendly towards them. Then Neil talks about manipulation and how he is a master in it. Eloise gets worried he might be doing the same with her but he reassures her that he would never because his goal is to make a great vampire out of her. Also, he is not able to read her mind, she always suprises him and he's happy about it. They decide to meet the next day to read a book together so to start learning about people's personalities, motivations etc as a first introduction to manipulation.
The following night they start reading a play out loud, and Eloise realises that there's more than deception and mystery to the story, but also love, which he can't grasp. So she starts reading the scene of the love confession and the more they read the more they start using their own words and speak frankly, and Neil shares that he's scared to let go and follow his desires.
Right when things were about to torn good.... RAPHAEL enters the library, realise they are (in theory) acting a play and begs them to stay there and listen, because "I can't see art anymore, I can at least listen, my life is sad blabla". Eloise wants to murder him, but then they start talking about Raphael's past as an artist, Neil is interested so Eloise just leaves. She runs into Beliath who offers her to spend the night together but she sends him packing and instead trains with Aaron.
Later on Neil joins her in her room and shares again about his life, but when the topic of feelings reemerges he runs away.
Eloise, who is a badass and won't let it go, follows him to the garden, scolds him, tells him that she loves him and in the end he kisses her (illustration).
She asks him if he'd like to sleep in her room, but he says that it's better he doesn't because he wouldn't be able to stop, and they have all the time in the world. So he bids her goodnight with another kiss and then they go their separate ways.
