The Blackthorn Inn

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus shrugged at Finn's retort. He didn't care much for fights and he certainly wasn't about to start one with a man armed wih a mere potato peeler.

He glanced at Willow.

"My lady," he performed as a sweeping bow as he spoke.

"I'm glad to look upon you once again. I hope I may seek refuge here again. You'll find that although I've been gone for quite sometime, I can still prove myself of worth."

Suwako giggled "Still the charmer and gentleman I see, but I don't think there is need for formalities here" Suwako stated "and thank you for the fire Finn I appreciate it, I really hate the cold" she added  

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus smirked a bit.

"Of course, Suwako."

He brushed his wavy hair back from his with his hand.

"Chivalry never dies. Ever."

Willow raised an eyebrow at Bartheyamus' greeting, unimpressed. "Well, it's good you're back now, I guess." she mumbled, glancing toward the fire Finn had built. She had completely forgotten about how cold the inn had become. "We're actually trying to make some salad and potato chips in the kitchen right now, if you're willing to help."  

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus wasn't surprised at Willow's cold greeting. He really did try to be friendly with her, he wanted to be close with all the patrons of the inn.

"My lady, you forget I am a vampyre and have not consumed food in ages, since my mortality. I don't know how to cook but I suppose if you can guide me, I'll do my best."  

[Joker_Doom_Ace]

"You must know how to peel a potato it's not hard Bartheyamus" Suwako looked at him handing him a peeler  

[poseur27]

Willow nodded somberly in agreement with Suwako, crossing her arms across her chest. "yeah, even Finn knows how to do that. It shouldn't be too hard for you." Willow rolled her eyes, looking over to Finn who was still looking at the fire. Was that guy easily distracted or what?

((sorry guys, I can't come up with a longer responce because my keyboard is being slow. Also sorry for any typos as well.))

"Right let's get to work we need this done before they come back" Suwako stated already peeling a potato

(it's ok poseur i had that problem with my old laptop)  

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus tossed the peeler back on the counter. He wasn't about to do thankless work. Instead, he crossed his arms and leaned up against a support beam in the inn. He closed his eye a bit, his head down in contemplation.
He was sure his companions were quite tired of his overdramatic ways but he didn't quite care. After months of being on the road he learned fast that you can't always please others and have to think of yourself once in awhile.
Sure, it wasn't the most selfless route but he was a vampyre, not a saint.  

[poseur27]

Willow nodded in acknowledgement to Suwako's statement; they would really need to hurry if they wanted to get everything done before the others came back. She shrugged and wandered back into the kitchen to get a potato peeler for herself, but as she reached into the drawer, she realized that they had all been taken already. Noting the peeler that Bartheyamus had tossed aside, she stepped forward and picked it up gingerly, looking back in his direction. "Well, if you're not going to use it, may I?" she asked, holding the peeler up as she spoke.  

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus shrugged and smirked.

"Well, it is your peeler, is it not?"

He uncrossed his arms now and shoved them in his coat pockets.

"Does it irritate you that I not choosing not to help?"  

[Joker_Doom_Ace]

"Not for me, it's not like we're forcing you to do it, we asked for help and you declined, it's as simple as that" Suwako replied simply she had already peeled 4 potatoes something caught her eye out the window
"Hey guys? Has the moon always been that red?" Suwako asked looking at a very red moon glowing high in the sky  

[Lord Bartheyamus Aurlin]

Bartheyamus took a moment to analyze the bloodmoon for a moment and sighed tiredly. He took a moment to collect himself, often rubbing his hand across his face.
After quite some time in silence, he turned to Suawako.

"I'm not certain as to what a blood moon means here in The Hollow but back where I came from, stories told of a blood moon signified the rising of another vampyre clan.
Our hierachy back home works like this: Clans are always vying for power, wars are always waged for dominance over the night sky. When one clans defeats the clan of most repute, the winning clan will capture and sacrifice and survivors in the name of the moon. This is why we call it a blood moon."

He paused and shuddered visibly.

"If wars are raging now, who's to say who will be hunted. It does not need to be clans, it could just be single vampyres. Some might be here, some might not, all I've ever heard were stories pretaining to the Blood Moon Wars."

Feeling quite anxious, Bartheyamus opted to sit down and collect himself. He looked to Willow:

"What of you? Have you any legends of note pretaining to the moon?"

He mumbled the last part.

"I pray I am incorrect..."  

[poseur27]

Willow paused after she picked up a potato, seeming to consider what he had said. Biting her lip in thought, she stood by the sink in silence for a while before speaking up. "I don't think so," she finally mumbled, "As far as I remember, Blackthorn Hollow was pretty peacful until...uh...everyone disappeared..." she drifted off slowly as she examined the red moon out the window, eyes flickering over its rough red surface. "What makes it go red like that?" she finally asked, reaching forward as if to touch it.  

[Joker_Doom_Ace]

"I'm not sure, it's not something that occurs often" Suwako replied the red moon gave her a chill as a bad feeling crept threw her body
