considering how isolated the crypt was, it came as no surprise that its inhabitants would be wary of any intruders. even if kai kept a pleasant smile on his face, he wasn’t blind to how suspicious the girl was. after all, someone breaking in searching for a powerful witch did, at its core, sound more than a little worrying. hand unshaken, the siphon withdrew it without seemingly bothered by the lack of a greeting, shrugging slightly. “ totally makes sense you wouldn’t shake my hand. pretty smart on your part, actually, ” he commented, shaking a single finger in the woman’s (davina’s, apparently) direction, “i’m not here to steal all your magic and kill you, if that’s what you’re thinking. actually, i kinda have the opposite problem.”
the last of the gemini coven paused for a moment, stepping forward. as he did, several of the unlit candles surrounding them erupted in flame, the heat licking far higher than it should have were its sources natural. “long story short, there’s this place called mystic falls, protected by this traveler’s spell. i took all the magic from this wicked old, wicked powerful traveler’s spell and sort of… overdid it. now, i can’t seem to control my magic.” a step toward her, grey-blue eyes descending their gaze to find her own. “so, according to this witch at that shop down THAT way,” – a slight nudge with his thumb in the generally southern direction – “i need a powerful witch to help me harness all this power before i give someone else uncontrolled vomiting. gross, by the way.”

sapphire eyes locked on him, trying to read the new face that’s entered the quarter, she’s caught off guard as candles light all around her ; jumps slightly as her gaze now falls upon the now lit, large, orange and yellow flames. attention slowly falls back to him as he begins once more ; she has heard of the small town before. stories about the original family that terrorized it before coming back to their home. davina puts on a brave face, as he takes a step towards her. arms cross over her chest, defensive, “ what makes you think i can help you. or that i would want to do such a thing. i don’t even know you. ”
