Connor watched her arm up, leaning against a nearby tree, smiling slightly. He cleared his throat slightly as she slid the sheathed knife in her pants, and blushed an almost violent shade of red as she slid the vial between her breasts and he coughed, looking aside. It was an effective hiding place, and definitely had easy access, but Connor couldn't help but think of it as a seduction.

He gained control of himself, swallowing. He ran a hand through his hair, "very, ah, very good" He said, and then he launched himself at her, stake in hand. He simply wanted to see how she drew a weapon to defend herself, and he would pull away after seeing how she acted, not wanting either of them to be hurt, and not wanting to hurt her, or even hit her right then.

Training would be better on the farm, where he had things set up so that there were dummies that sprung up and attacked at random, but here in the clearing it was him seeing what she could do, and that she could protect herself, so that if they got attacked, she'd be able to fight and he wouldn't have to worry so much.

She smirked as she saw how much he blushed at her little tease. She didn't get time to tease him further on the matter though, as he lunged against her. She felt a set of instincts take over that she personally hadn't felt in a long time. In a flashed, she pulled out her gun and prepared to fire, aimed at his head. For a moment, the steely intention of killing a threat might have been notable to someone experienced enough to read such things.

But almost as quickly, she registered that it was Connor rushing at her, and her gaze returned to normal. She flipped the safety on and let go of the grip, causing the gun to flip and hang limply on her trigger finger. She took a deep breath and exhaled it, be slightly shaky. Her heart was pounding with the sudden blast of adreneline coursing through her veins. It was so bad, she could hear it in her ears.

"Connor." she said quietly, almost as if using the word to register that it was infact him..and not a hunter trying to kill her as a vampire.

"Don't do that."

Even before Elizabeth flicked the safety on, Connor had leaped into the air, jumping over her, and landing with a soft thud, bending his knees, and letting himself move with the momentum. For one brief second there, Connor had thought she would fire and he shuddered, putting the stake back where it belonged, and taking a moment to compose himself, and reflect on what had happened.

His thoughts became logical, even as his emotions spun wildly through him like a hurricane, fear, grief, hurt, anger. And love.

good instincs, good reflexes. Can stop herself that's all he needed to know, and he straightened, looking to her. He took a slow, deep breath, and rub the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry" he said softly, looking away "I should have thought...I just wanted to know you can protect yourself. In case I can't"

She silently looked back at him with a bit of sadness, and then down at the gun in her hand. She sighed, before slipping it back into place. She looked at him again, crsing to herself and for him for the situation that unfolded. The image of his face in her line of fire lingered for a moment before she pushed it aside with determination. "I guess now we both know what I'm capable of..." she said quietly.

The air felt stiff between them for a moment. "How about we call it a night?" she suggested, walking towards him, reaching out to hold his hand. "And get us some pizza?"

Yeah, they hadn't actually spent all that much time out there...but they saw what she was capable of, which seemed to mostly be the reason he wanted her out there that night...and she was now all geared up to hunt and protect herself. She felt like what had happened caused tension between them, and relaxing over what seemed to her like something he enjoyed alot might get them to relax again and they could talk like they usually did...besides, she was really exited to try that pizza.

"You can even tell me all about what kills what while we eat."

Connor took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze, and giving her a smile, "I am always up for Pizza" He said, staying there fore a minute, or two, before going to grab the duffel and led the way back to the new inn, stopping at a Pizza place on the way, getting a Pizza they could both enjoy.

As they walked, he let out his senses, paranoid that something was still in the town with them, but he could sense nothing. For now. Still, as they entered the inn, he took precautions, taking out salt and Iron from his duffel, lining the windows and the inn door, chucking up a charm on the door knob which would cause some pain and discomfort to anything like vampires and werewolves trying to get in. Connor had always disliked those things, but they were useful at times.

He set the Pizza down on the table when he was done, satisfied, slinging his jacket over the chair, keeping his weapons in reach. He felt immensely better, and he looked to Elizabeth, and smiled.

"Pizza time?"

she smiled as he took her hand, and she felt like everything was going to be alright again.

...even as he acted really skittish the whole way to the inn.

When they got there, she quietly took off her jacket too as she decompressed from the night of lessons (though let us note she still has a vial of holy water and /3/ knives on her body) She also watched him as he acted more cautious this night than he did the entire time they were traveling together. She noted everything that he did, sorting it away to make note of doing later...maybe someday if she ever needed to travel alone. She also figured that he was probably spooked by the attack earlier so she didn't mention how thorough he was being.

Perking up at him finally settling down, she nodded with excitement in her eyes. "Pizza Time."

She walked over and sat down, looking at the box. "So...how do you even eat this?

Connor chuckled, sitting down, and opening the box, taking a slice out, he curved it slightly inwards, "Like this" He said, "curving it prevents the topping from sliding off onto you" He said, happily taking a bit.

Connor had found that there was nothing else quite like Pizza. The melted cheese, the meat, the flavor...he loved it all. He chewed, clearly enjoying the pizza.

He set his slice down, grabbing the napkins that had come with the Pizza, and handing Elizabeth some, as well as a bottle of water each. Connor would have preferred Coke, but he decided a late night might not be a good thing, so he avoided the caffeine. He smiled at Elizabeth, waiting to see what she thought of the Pizza.

He wondered, briefly, if anything like Pizza had been around in her time, but he didn't question that too much, having no idea. But he imagined not. So he sipped at his water, and bit into his slice again, for once just enjoying the company, enjoying having someone to share dinner with, and enjoying just being with Elizabeth.

She watched intently, probably a bit too intently for what was actually happening, but she smiled as Connor took his first bite and looked really happy. It made her even more excited to try some...well that, and the smell that it was giving off. She even had to swallow because her mouth was watering a bit.

With a thank you, she accepts the napkins and water, unfolding a napkin and setting it like she had a habit of doing.

With eager little hands, she grabbed a slice , bending it slightly and then took a bite. After a bit of chewing, she got slight goosebumps and let out a really pleased Mmmm` sort of sound, blushing a bit before taking a couple more bites. The cheese strung out and broke, leaving itself on her chin and she laughed. Setting it down, she reached for another napkin and wiped her mouth off. "oh that's...really...really good~"

Connor smiled, watching her eat the slice, grabbing another slice himself. Connor hadn't really shared a meal with anyone, besides Marl, and beside people he was trying to get information from, for four years. So to have a nice, quite dinner with Pizza, and with someone who wasn't talking about murder, or something like that, was a nice change, and one he enjoyed. And it was nice to introduce Elizabeth to the current times with Pizza, and see her reaction.

After a little bit, he sighed softly, and began to tell her the basic's of killing things. "Obviously, a stake will kill a vampire, and Dead Man's blood will stun them. Silver will take down a werewolf, as well as anything mortal-such as stabbing them through the heart or chopping their head off. Shapeshifters can be killed by silver. Demons are weak against holy water, and you can either kill their host-which I try not to do, or use a de-possesing ritual. Uh, ghosts can be banished with Rock salt for a few moments, can be kept at bay with Salt and Iron, and essentially a sure fire way of killing them is to burn their bones in salt and oil, or anything else that is tying them to the earth. That's the basic, and most common monsters around, at least right now" He said

Elizabeth [i]was[/]i listening..but she kept munching away at her pizza, even nibbling on the crust contently. Her stomach was grateful too, to be fed and faster than she had with her breakfast. It was so good she didn't sip any water until she was a out half done with her second slice.

She nodded occasionally though, taking in notes about what killed what, though there was a bit for her to absorb. Swallowing, she licked her lips. "You'll have to teach me about de-possesion." she told him quietly. Her stomach rumbled again, but it wasn't of hunger. She sighed from contentment and nibbled at the crust, even though there was some of the actual pizza part left to that slice.

(sorry about the double post >.<)

"its really all about reading from the ritual book I have, its all in Latin, and it's hard to remember, so I just carry the book around with me. Oh, that reminds me, we will have to get a you a tattoo sigil that prevents possession" He said, as they finished up the pizza, he closed the empty box, before putting it aside to be thrown out, "Do you want ice cream? I got ice cream at the store" He asked, going over to the fridge, "Its chocolate, and yummy yummy" He said, probably sounded like a eager child, and he smiled happily.

He got the ice cream out, looking over to Elizabeth, and he smiled again, surprised at how much just having her there, without the risk of being bitten, or of tasting her vampiric blood made things easier. He knew things would probably be essed up for a good long while, but...Connor was sure things would be perfect, in the long run.

He came back over, with the ice cream, sitting back down

Elizabeth was already more than comfortably full from the pizza, but she still reacted when he asked about icecream. She had heard that it was as loved as pizza, and cold..something Elizabeth still wasn't familiar with since she came back to life. She wasn't sure if she had room for it, but she didn't say no either.

As he came back and sat down and smiled at her, she knew she couldn't say no. A taste wouldn't hurt,right? She happily groaned with her fullness as she shifted herself to lay her head on his lap, looking up at him lovingly. "You are spoiling me." she whispered with a bit of a smirk.

Connor smiled when she said that, looking down at her, and brushing a lock of hair from her face. "I'm love you" He said softly, "So I'm allowed to" He chuckled, getting spoonful of ice cream and directing it to her mouth, before grabbing a spoonful for himself. it was very good ice cream, rich with chocolate, and Connor enjoyed it. "I like being able to"

Connor had some money, and if it would make Elizabeth happy to have Pizza and Ice cream, he would happily spend it all. But he had to buy things to help them survive, holy water, dead mans blood, things like that that he didn't have much supply of, or no supply off.

He smiled, setting the ice cream aside, quite full himself, and he leaned down to kiss her softly, lovingly. Never in the last four years had he ever imagined having someone like Elizabeth, someone he cared about completely, that he could now see having a future with. He could hear her heart beating, and it was like music to his ears. It was thanks to Elizabeth that he had the will to live, instead of just going through day to day.

So he would do everything he could to protect her.

The chocolate ice cream was indeed cold, but it was also fantastic, and she loved it. She almost was going to ask for another 'taste' and many more..

She was also going to remind him that she had much more money than he did, so it would make sense for her to be the one to spoil him. He was the one that saw through her vampiric curse. into the person that she was. He had even managed to fall in love with her. For something like that, she was going to tell him, she had all rights to spoil him on a grander scale...to use all her money to make his life better...maybe not have to hunt anymore...she was...

And then he kissed her.

It was the first kiss she had as a living being, and she nearly gasped into it as her heart suddenly fluttered. She remembered back to all those times she had set her hand on his heart and wondered if it was something like that. But it had to be different...she didn't want to gently kiss to end. Continuing to kiss him, she twisted and pulled herself up. She now sat on his lap and slowly wrapped her arms around him, giving more of herself into the kiss. her heart kept going faster, as did what little breathing she was able to do in her sudden frnezy...she couldn't stop, it was feeling too good...too alive...

Connor smiled, laying his hand on her heart, even as his own beat fast, enjoying the feel of her heart beating under his finger, shifting as she shifted, wrapping his arms around her as she sat up, returning the kiss just as fully as she did, He could feel his heart thumbing in his chest, as if to escape and meld with hers.

His self control was shattered in a single instant, and he rose, holding her to him, and falling down onto the bed, without breaking the kiss, It was better then their other kisses, better because he could feel her heart, her breath, the warmth of her lips and her cheeks.

It just felt...like everything he wanted, and everything he needed. He pulled away slightly, to take in a deep breath, looking at her before kissing her again, his hands on her hips, lightly holding her. He could taste the ice cream he had fed her, and he licked her lips, enjoy it, and the simple taste of her.

She was a bit surprised when she was suddenly lifted and carried over to the bed, but she wouldn't protest. She was busy kissing her heart out. besides, the bed was more comfortable. Her heart continued to beat with a strength and speed she could only currently compare to when she was running around outside earlier. But while running outside had excited and cleared her mind, she almost felt foggy and dizzy as she kissed him, scarcely being able to think of anything else.

As he separated from her, she looked into his eyes, a bit of a flush on her face. She was going to tell him that she loved him but the dick kissed her again and silenced any words that she could have summoned. Oh well. She got the feeling he already knew. She returned his kisses, any and all that he offered her. Her arms held him to her closer for a moment before she loosened them so that she was just lightly grabbing onto his shirt. She was a bit distracted so she wasn't quite sure, but to her ears, they were sharing a heartbeat...and that only filled her with more love and a strange need she's never felt as a human quite like this before.

Finally, she separated their delicious chocolatey kisses to pull him forward , putting his face in her neck and hers at his ear.

"I love you too" she sighed contently through whatever breath she could gather to speak with.

Connor caught his breath as Elizabeth said she loved him as well. He smiled, kissed her neck and then back to her lips, kissing with an almost primal need, to simply have her, fueled by the declaration of her love for him. He shifted them so he was over her, and he kissed her with passiontion, need, and absolute lust. It was almost as if all thoughts if self control, of any thought if stopping, were gone, or...or surpressed. All he knew was he loved her, and he wanted her. He tugged at her clothes, and at his, all the while continuing to kiss her, and moved his hands slightly up her body.

It was only later, as he lay with her in his arms, that he realized it had been perhaps the most passitionate and...fulfilling times. Yet he couldn't bring his mind off that something just seemed...wrong. Not with the situation, that had been...amazing, just something seemed genuinely wrong in the world, in the air. The puzzle off it didn't stop him from drifting off to a deep sleep, Ostend to her heart beating, and her breathing.

It was only in the morning that he realized what he missed, as he woke just before the sun began to rise after only a few hours sleep. He reached for his pants, trying not to move too much and disturb Elizabeth, jimming his phone out the pocket, surprised he even remembered that it was there. He went into the internet browser and typed in "the seven deadly sins" looking for any lore around them. He knew what they were, demons, that generally went by the names off: Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Greed. If they were loose, they could create a whole world of trouble.

He was pretty sure that Lust had been active, and he blushed, putting. His phone aside, looking to Elizabeth.

It was the most satisfying thing she has ever experienced, right next to tearing someone's throat out after being a newborn vampire. And it made her sleep like a baby.

Hours later, she was slightly disturbed by movement...but more disturbed by the sound of phone texting. Her a while, her brain pushed it aside and continued to embrace sleep. But it kept nagging at her, making itself known that she had heard phone typing. With a yawn, she peeked her eyes open rubbed at them. She didn't know what time it was...but she did know that she didn't want to be up yet. Oh well...one of these nights she would get a full night's sleep.

Now awake-ish, she turned to find Connor looking at her and blushing. She remembered what had happened between them and blushed too. Part of her wanted to relive the moment with him...but it'd probably be a bad idea...since he'd want to get going now that she was awake.

She smiled a little, gesturing for him to come closer. Once he had she'd giggle slightly and whisper, "I love you."

Connor could have stayed there all day, with her, but he knew they couldn't, especially if there were seven powerful demons about. He smiled, moving closer when she gestured him too, and replied "i love you too" With a quick kiss, before sighing softly, and moving to rise, undaunted by his own nakedness, but he did slip into clean pants, looking about, "I think we should head to the tattoo place as soon as possible. I suspect there's bad demons afoot" He said, running a hand through his hair a few times in absent of his hair brush.

He smiled, looking at her, just admiring her perfection. He reluctantly began to pack things away, donning a shirt, and shrugging into his jacket, feeling the comforting weight of his various weapons in the jacket, sliding his gun into the waistband of his jeans at the back, making sure the safety was off.

"We can get something for breakfast on the way too" He said, with a yawn, rubbing his eyes to help wake himself completely, running his hand through his hair again, ruffling it up, and messing it utterly and completely.
