The Log:

( yuki had called up the captain to check up on him and was waiting where they said they would met up with an umbrella in hand. while most vampires would shriek at the thought of even staying up this late, heck even venturing out in the sun, yuki didn't mind it at all. she's always enjoyed the sun, even if it strained her eyes slightly.

so with food in hand and her communicator near, she waited for him. )

Comments

[flourisher]

No it isn't. It breaks my heart to see such a wonderful person being abused like that.

( while the tears stop, she stares forward angrily. yuki then opens her palm in front of him and lets the glass fall. while the wounds healed quickly moments ago, blood remains. )

[itsfondue]

[He seems a little embarrassed by the compliment.] It was a while ago. [Well, just a few months really.] Everything's okay now. [Except not, but he doesn't want to upset Yuki further.]

[He inspects her palm and takes out a cloth to wipe the blood. Afterward, Steve gives her a small smile.] I appreciate your concern, but don't want you to get hurt over this.

[flourisher]

Well I can get hurt all I want see...

( and she blushes! she's never been cleaned before by another person. )

I heal and it doesn't hurt unless the wound is really deep or if you cut off my arm or something.

[itsfondue]

[Speaks in a quiet, but serious tone as he continues to wipe the blood.] Even if you can, doesn't mean you should.

[flourisher]

If you can worry about me then let me worry about you.

( yuki stares at him seriously. )

I don't want to get hurt but I can heal easily. I could be torn limb by limb and regenerate. I don't know about you however, I know you're strong but...Let me worry okay? Tell me everything.

[itsfondue]

[Steve doesn't like the thought of Yuki being torn from limb to limb, so he frowns a little. However, he decides to give her some information at least.]

I was pulled away from a world war. Don't like bullies no matter where they come from. [Hitler, the Nazis, and HYDRA... he wants to stop all of them.]

[flourisher]

That's....a very long time away from the time I come from.

( by her time humanity had already collapsed, vampires rose, vampires fought against hunters, purebloods died out, etc. etc. )

[itsfondue]

[He sits back again.] No more world wars? [He sounds a little hopeful at the thought. After all, WWII started relatively quickly after WWI ended.]

[flourisher]

Well the last big one was the one against vampires and vampire hunters. The vampire race was dying out so they began turning human into vampires. This of course was more or less a hundred years before I was born.

[itsfondue]

That's some world you live in. Never thought that a war between vampires and vampire hunters would happen. Sounds like it was a big deal though.

[flourisher]

It was. I'm the head of all purebloods and vampires in general.

( not to sound like a great person or anything, but to show that well purebloods are dying out. )

But enough of all this sadness. How have things been?

[itsfondue]

[Small smile.] Quite a responsibility you have there.

Things are well. This place isn't bad, despite its appearance. [he pulls out his journal and flips to a page, showing his drawing of some of the buildings here.]

[flourisher]

Oh my you draw very good. You are a man of many talents.

( yuki on the other hand can't sing, draw, dance, or even do well in school. hopefully her big heart makes up for that. )

[itsfondue]

Oh, um, thank you. [He's not used to all of these compliments.] This is just something I like to do. Helps me to think and keep a record of things I've seen.

[flourisher]

I'm glad that what I gave you is being used well.

[itsfondue]

It's been very helpful, material can be a bit scarce here at times. [He begins to sketch the building in front of them.] Been thinking of mapping out the cities here and some of the monsters for reference.

[flourisher]

Is that so? If you need more paper you can always ask me.

( she leans over watching him sketch. )

[itsfondue]

Think I'm good for now. [He doesn't mind, but a sudden thought hits him.] Oh, hope I'm not being rude by drawing like this.

[flourisher]

Of course not. You're never rude.

( she smiles and pats his head gently. )

[itsfondue]

[Steve is glad and continues to draw a bit. Do you want the monster to appear now?]

[flourisher]

ooc: that would be good.

[itsfondue]

[And suddenly, a Leanashe shows up to disrupt their little quiet time.

Setting down his journal, Steve immediately stands up and quickly thinks of a strategy to defeat it.]

Stay back, Yuki. [Of course, Yuki can go ahead and attack it in the mean time.]

[flourisher]

( yuki stares at him for a second before pulling out artemis from under her skirt (of course it was attached to her leg in a smaller form). she runs ahead of him and swings the scythe around, hitting the leanashe across the chest and arms. she jumps up and then slashes it across its back before falling on the floor and scraping her knees up. before she can stand up, yuki finds herself staring at the monster for a few seconds.

however due to her ability to break hallucinations, she stands back up, looking drained and tired and attacks it once more before finally killing it. in order to restore lost energy, she looms over it and without pith or fear, she sinks her teeth into the soft flesh, taking in the blood. after a few seconds, her eyes that had turned red returned to its natural colour. she turned to steve and stood straight. she stared at him innocently. )

Are you alright?

[itsfondue]

[Steve was still reaching for his shield when Yuki killed the monster in a few seconds flat. Cough. Oh. Um. Well then....

He blinks and nods slowly, not even really hearing Yuki's question that well.]

Um, yes! Great.

[flourisher]

( she walked over to him, drenched in blood and smiled softly. )

If that thing were a vampire, I would have been able to kill it faster.
