Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs

"I thought vampires hated the sunlight."

 ”Go right ahead, lass.” he replies as he grins at her. “I wouldn’t call it ‘watching’ as much as ‘observing’. It’s not everyday this humble little town gets a visitor.” he leans against his stand. “Though, there isn’t much to really get around here, unless fish are your thing…”

"No, though I hear fishing isn't the only thing this city is infamous for," she gave him a side look. Sitting on her ass wasn't helping, so the best thing to do was to simply ask around. If the people and guards were as well paid off as the Guild were in her time, she should have no problem getting some information.

Serana

Leaning over Serana he sniffed her basket, quickly recoiling from the smell of nirnroot. Letting out a loud puff and giving the basket a glare.

"Yeah, I need some rather obscure ingredients for a potion I'm working on. It took me a while to find some nirnroot. Luckily it has that sound," she smiled, wondering how used he was to people. "Do you often visit cities? You said people are afraid of you? Are your kind normally dangerous?" Perhaps they had more in common than she had thought.

She had to resist a shiver.

"If I get away from there alive, it’d be a great reward", she smiled faintly. Isran probably won’t be happy, but somehow she trusted Serana. "Alright, let’s go then. It’s a long journey from here and you need to get there as soon as possible." She’d most likely get her answers to her questions on the way. A place like this won’t make anyone open up.

"Alright, you're probably going to have to guide me a bit. The Skyrim roads may have changed a little, and I never traveled much as a girl anyway," she nodded, looking around for the exit.

Damnit, she thought, as her eyebrows furrowed. "Alright…", she nodded, "alright. My name’s Drusilla. Where do you need to go?" Perhaps the vampires would let her go in exchange for her… then she’d need to hurry back to the Dawnguard.

"I'm not trying to trick you, no one will harm you for bringing me there. In fact they'll probably offer you a reward. I just need to see what's going on." she explained as compactly as possible. It may not be as bad as she thought, but if it was - she may need a lot of help.

     She gave an apologetic grin, sharp, serrated teeth flashing in the motion. She gathered herself, clasping her claws in the small of her back as she continued observing the vam-Serana.      ”It is indeed a pleasure to meet you, Serana. Normally, I harbor excitement solely for Hircine’s man-beasts. But vampires are another race that I find fascinating.” She held admiration in her voice, head tilting bird-like as she spoke.      ”Ah! That isn’t to say I view you as something to be studied, no; just, you are very interesting to me.” 

"Well I just wouldn't go around trying to observe every vampire you come across. Like I said, the common one's seem to have no brains." She and her kind had more control and power, and usually only fed off the sleeping or their own cattle.                                                                                      "So what were you doing out here? I didn't think Argonian's were nocturnal too." she smirked.

 Now, this was different. He notices the hooded figure, and he wonders for a moment if this is another rookie, but something about this mysterious figure looks far too awkward to be one of his own. He decides to watch for a moment to see exactly what would happen.

"Could I be so bold as to ask why you were watching me?" she murmured, only loud enough for him to hear.
