    Go on Valente. You know you want to.

    Reinholdt just passes Magena a menu quietly, giving her a chance to talk to Raril without too much interruption.

    Magena notices Valente seems agitated and gives him a concerned look.
    "Is everything alright?"

    Raril gets a grateful smile. "Maybe some soup, if it's no problem."
    "And yes, I can. Though we like to see it as changing into our other form.
    We are not werewolves, and I fear that is why people are so scared of us. But we have full control, just our shape changes and we gain strength and speed along with the ability to communicate with the animals and forest spirits."

    To demonstrate, she stands up and shrugs off her cape. Black fur with a blue sheen appears all over her body, her arms and feet change into paws and a few seconds later a black wolf stands in the girl's place. On it's forehead is a white path of fur in roughly the shape of a circle.
    "This is how I got my name. Magena means moon," Wolf-Magena says. And with that she turns back into her human form, pulling her cape back on.

    "It's a pretty name. Very fitting." Reinholdt says with a smile at the wolf girl.

    He glances at Raril then, wondering if he'll change forms as well.

    "Oh! You're a skinwalker then!" Zee comments in that ever peppy tone of her's. "That's pretty neat. You don't seem many of those around the Nexus. Far less common than werewolves and stuff."

    And stuff!

    "I'm not sure how well you'll fit into an urban environment if you're use to living in the forest..."

    That might be an issue.

    Oh!

    Nearly forgot!

    Zee?

    Has an utterly alien feel to her. Animals usually notice it more readily than people do. The result is that they tend to either be attracted to her or shun the hell out of her with little middle ground.

    "Oh, ehm, thanks" She says, blushing at the compliment.

    "Skinwalker sounds like a good word to describe it, yes."
    Because some people don't get that there are different kinds of shapeshifters.

    "Oh, we usually live in the forest, yes. But every now and then we come acros a city were we're welcome to stay. Some regions are more welcome than others. And some of the children of the other spirits prefer cities, we visit every time we're near them."
    She probably doesn't realise it doesn't make as much sense to other people that there also others able to take a different form instead of that of a wolf.

    Well, Magena doesn't seem to have any problem with Zee. More like she seems to like all of her new friends quite a lot. She's still a puppy, everyone that's nice to her is her friend. So she'll probably be part of the group attarcted to her.

    Raril holds up a hand, allowing it to shift towards something more claw like, white fur sprouting out from under his sleeve and clawling over his inky skin. "I can control the shift, now, but the full moon still causes me some trouble." The drow explains, letting his hand return to normal.

    The idea of people turning into different animals wasn't an alien idea to Raril. His mate back in the Underdark had been cursed to turn into a terrible giant cat. And there were those fox-folks at Inari's. Living in the Nexus so long had also desensitized him to such strangeness.

    "Well, as strange and as dangerous Inside can be, there's generally no hatred towards people like us. Sure, someone will hold a grudge, or hunt down evil ones, but usually we're trated just like anyone else."

    "I've never really run into that problem either, so you should be fine here." Reinholdt agrees with Raril.

    "What other spirits are there?"

    "I'm fine." The vampire assures her. No need to point out his desire to drain her dry. Man, it's really surprisingly hard to control himself right now. "Just feeling a little off. Don't worry about me."

    The girl seems sort of relieved after Raril's reasurance.
    "That's good to hear, I'm not here to make trouble."

    And then there's Reinholdt's question.
    "Well, every creature comes from a spirit, where we live. They were made in the spirit's image. We were created due to a union between a spirit and a human"She laughs a bit. "Spirits need some love too. As far as I know, Hare, Owl, Horse and Eagle have Children. There could be others, but I'm not sure. Coyote might have some, we're not sure."

    Magena gives Valente a worried look. "Did I make you uncomfortable? I heard those like you can become that around blood, and I just bled all over the floor." She doesn't really seem scared of him, though. "Will you feel better if I change to other form for now?"

    She did. Reinholdt's looking right at it. All that blood. Just sitting there, on the floor, going to waste...

    Reinholdt fidgets. Fidget fidget.

    "Someone should probably clean that up."

    Valente shakes his head. "It won't really change anything, but thanks. I'll manage. Besides, it'd probably be harder for you to eat if you changed." He gives her a slight smile. At this point it'd take another shock for him to really lose control.

    "Yeah, probably.."

    Magena returns Valente's smile, feeling a little uneasy. She doesn't want to make anyone feel bad.

    Michalson leans back in his chair, drumming his fingers on the table. The bloodsucker has acquired company. Makes it harder to write him in the dead-book. One of the bashers there is Reinholdt... who also looks vampiric. Better to take them out one at a time, so the Cager just waits.

    The girl takes some time to think about Reinholdt's question.

    "I... Don't know. I'd love to go after them and make sure they can't hurt anyone again.."

    She goes quiet for a moment.

    Reinholdt doesn't actually look different really. Same old Reinholdt.
    Though I suppose if there were anyone who could tell a vampire from a single glance, it'd be the undead hunter Michalson.

    Granted, if Reinholdt had spotted Michalson earlier, before this crowd, he'd be more than happy to go at it with the punk that tortured him before.

    No time for that now though. "Well I could help you. Seems like something worth doing if you ask me."

    Valente stays silent at that. He's not much interested in tagging along. He has to get back to AMEN in not all that long. Not to mention his feelings on violence and killing would be enough to make him hold off anyway.

    But otherwise just stops and waits so as to avoid exacerbating the situation.
    "Right, so my suggestion is that you two make a contract with terms that you can both agree with. If anyone breaks the terms, the contract is void and neither of you get anything. If Yusa binds her name to the contract she wouldn't be able to break it right? Then you can actually trust each other." Sort of.

    Entering the tavern is a girl who still look to be in her late teens even if some aspects of her would suggests otherwise. But while her exact age might be hard to guess it's obvious she isn't completely human. From her black curly hair two grey ram-like horns spurts and her skin is blood red with unsettling pupil-less yellow eyes. Perhaps not as noticeable at first however is the tail which comes out of a hole at the backside of her yellow dress.

    But besides her inhuman features the girl have been blessed with prominent curves and a rather feminine face as well. In her hand she firmly holds a staff with a purple crystal mounted at the top of it.

    She eyes the other patrons carefully, trying to hide her nervousness as she slowly enters the black dragons den. Eventually she bumps into a chair at an empty table and quickly sits down at it to make it look like she planned to do that all along.

    Now to find someone to help her...

    Valente glances toward the door when he hears it open.

    ...

    The vampire freezes and his eyes go wide. Of all the people to walk in it had to be Astrana. What does he do? He goes into full panic mode, that's what. Of course at the moment full panic mode involves standing rather still and staring at her in shocked silence.

    Astrana glances at Valente as she notices him staring at her. She looks at the table again however as she's pretty sure she imagined it. That guy looked an awful lot like Valente.

    Hesitating she looks back again. Oh stars! He was still starring at her!
    What was going on? It couldn't be... The tiefling can't tare for long but she had seen enough now, it was him. She was sure of it. He might look a bit different but why else would he stare at her like that?

    The warlock takes a deep breath before she makes an decision. Her grip around the staff becoming almost painfully hard as she uses it to lift herself out of the chair and slowly wander over to the vampire.

    "Valente..." She starts, not really sure what to say but she had to act fast. "How are you?"

    Valente meets her gaze, but only for a second before he looks away. "You don't understand. I had to leave." He says, with only marginal conviction. It made sense at the time. And it still makes sense now. Yes.

    Valente sighs. "There's someone else, Astrana. I love her." He says those words with complete conviction. "I had to help her. She needed me to." He looks back at the tiefling. "I can't go back now even if I wanted to. Who knows what Ramiro would do? Besides, I don't want to leave her."

    Lies, lies, lies! A voice screams inside her head. She just want to punch him in the face.

    She can't tell him that though, she needed to be careful about this no matter how much it bothered her. He was under an enchantment, he had to be. Thiw wasn't him.

    "Oh." She says, attempting to keep all the months of anger and worry out of her voice. She was going to show that bitch, she would wish she had never been born. But first she needed to free Valente.
    "So what's her name? Why do you love her so much?"
