[color=ed1c24][center][h1]~~~ Kiara ~~~[/h1][/center][/color]

The dragon was quite obviously studying her, trying to size her up, for whatever reason. She didn’t really care. After a moment of pondering with his hand under his chin, he spoke. [color=9e0b0f]“Kiarraa~”[/color] the name rolled off of his tongue in a purr, causing bumps to rise along her arms. She was about to say that he could say it as much as he wanted, as long as he always said it like that, but he continued speaking. [color=9e0b0f]“Where have I heard that before…”[/color] the dragon pondered. 

Kiara watched to see if he could put the pieces together. She knew that a fair amount of black, red and green dragons fought on the Unseelie side of the war, maybe he was one of them. If so, he would have met her father, who no doubt spoke highly of his ‘beautiful darkling’. It appeared that he couldn’t recall the familiarity, so he began to introduce himself, but only managed to get out [color=9e0b0f]"Sul-"[/color] before turning to chastise his ‘friend’. Sul turned back to Kiara, snubbing the handshake as he did so. Kiki pulled back her hand, elegantly unfazed by his insolence. [i]‘Fine then, he smelled funny anyway,’[/i] she thought. She briefly wondered if this ‘friend’ was more than just that.

Alice, as he introduced, seemed to be anything [i]but[/i]  a threat, however. In fact, the fear that was rolling off of her in waves was enough to more than pique the faerie’s interest. Looking past Sul and to the shrinking girl, Kiara stood up and got uncomfortably close to Alice. Kiki’s hungry eyes changed from their default pale grey, to an abyssal black. You could practically see the tendrils forming between the girls as Kiara fed on the fear; the exchange would leave the faerie feeling sated, and the vampire feeling surprisingly free of her previous fear. 

“My dear, I do not know what particular demons you are running from, but I do hope they never stop chasing." The smile she sported as she spoke was the kind that send chills down your spine. "You. Are. Delicious!” Kiki said, and although the words were menacing, her tone was as sickeningly-sweet as her scent. Kiara stood up straight then, increasing the distance between herself and Alice. “But, you need to toughen up, Cupcake! This is a school for monsters, you’ll need to build up some thick skin if you wish to survive among some of these creatures.” 

With a cool, crooked smile, Kiara took her leave to return to her seat beside the dragon. He seemed uncomfortable, almost like he was searching for something. [color=9e0b0f]“Dammit where is that boy…”[/color] he muttered. Or, searching for [i]someone[/i], apparently. Kiki sighed a little, she should have known. “I knew you seemed a little distracted. So, what’s this boy like? He must be a real [i]treasure[/i] to have captured a dragon’s attention.” Kiara wore a smirk, amused by her own play on words.
