[IC] Things that go bump (Caits and Crawkid)

[Crawkid]

She was glad that he gave in to her ogic and beliefs, and therefore didn't mind that he changed the subject. She shook her head,though, at the mention of desert. "No..I was going to have us leave for the inn soon...but if you don't mind waiting a little longer, I'd like another hamburger." she smiled slightly, but it could be obvious that she was at least somewhat concerned. When she thought about what she was exactly worried about, she also became excited. The bit of Lust's influence didn't help much. She swallowed and busied herself with sipping away at her water.

After a while, her mind wandered to everything that happened the last few days..and she began to plot and scheme...but her scheming halter as she realized that none of it was possible if she didn't know what her possibilities actually were. "Connor, would you happen to have a free syringe...and someone who can tell me about my blood?"

[MarshiestMallow]

connor knew her concerns, but he nodded, and said, "Get another burger, they are awesome, and we did skip breakfast" He could control himself and that's just what he would do. He called the waitress over, ordering another burger for Elizabeth, and some hot chips on the side. He watched her, busily drinking her drink, and smiled.

And then she asked about the blood, and Connor sighed softly, "I have plenty of syringes. And Marl has someone that can analyse blood. When we get back, we can ask him" He said, "We've used this guy a few times, to analyse blood on a scene, and see what we are dealing with if we don't know. He's a good person, so he won't ask too many questions"

He snagged a chip as the waitress came back, falling silent again until she had left. Just because it was a hunting establishment, didn't mean there weren't people that would sell them out. "Why do you want to know, though?" he asked

[Crawkid]

She was glad to be allowed another burger...and it did seem like he was confident enough in his ability to control himself, she she pushed away her worries about that for the moment. She was also glad to know that she could get her blood looked at. She looked up at the waitress brought the food over and thanked her with a polite smile. She sipped a bit more at the water.

"Because I'm a biological curiosity...and as such I'm curious about what I am, biologically." she explained with a bit of an amused smile. She bit into the new burger, and savored it more than her last. Occasionally she would pick up a chip too and enjoy those.

As she neared the end of her meal, she started cleaning up her spot and pulled out money for about half the cost, not willing to let him pay for all of it. She was quite full but instead of just making her want a nap, it almost made her more excited for what was coming next.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor ate some chips, purely as a distraction for himself, appearing thoughtful, "Well,, you're human. Just over 300 years old. There might be some vamperic traces I suppose. The blood guy will be able to analyse it in any case" he said musingly, watching as she got some money out.

he sighed, wanted to argue about that, but knew it was futile, that there was no point. He got out money as well, and put it down on the table with a tip, He looked around again, but nothing supernatural had slipped in while they were eating, and Connor relaxed slightly.

When Elizabeth was finished, Connor said, "still hungry?" he asked, with a slight smile, finishing off the chips, and wiping his fingers on a napkin, more then ready to leave. And go to the inn. He swallwed, and ran a hand through his hair, out of his eyes as he did so.

[Crawkid]

"No, I am not still hungry." she answered him with a slight, joking huff. She too cleaned herself with napkins.Drinking the rest of whatever liquid there was, she slid her glass with the rest of the dishes. She had more on her mind than finding out how many vampiric traits were still in her, but Connor didn't need to know that yet.

Getting up, she sighed slightly. She was pretty sure she could leave the money there...but she wasn't sure enough to do so.She decided to let Connor help her with that. "lead the way." she told him, smiling slightly.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor still wondered why Elizabeth would want her blood analysed, but he didn't dwell on it too long, looking about as Elizabeth rose, to once more check there was no one watching them.

Connor rose as well, leaving the money just under one of their plates, already seeing the waitress coming over, and satisfied, he headed out, glancing to his car, satisfied that it was still there, and safe, he then headed towards the inn. Connor had never used a pay by the hour inn before, but right then, he could see the appeal of them.

He got a room, trying to appear as if they just wanted sleep, but knowing that the guy on the desk knew what they were there for, and he grimaced, looking back to Elizabeth,room key in hand. He squirmed slightly, before giving her a smile, moving away from the desk, towards the room.

[Crawkid]

Elizabeth followed him, glad that the meal was payed for.

She made herself scarce when it came time to ask for the room, and scooted ahead of Connor, returning the smile. She was awkward, and relieved, and excited. To her, it was such a strange mixture of emotions. And as Connor opened the door, she again scooted past him, quickly closing the door once he was fully inside. She grabbed his shirt and kissed him, also reaching downwards o excite him further.

(semi-awkward timeskip blackout)

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor laughed as she seemed to take control, shutting the door, grabbing his shirt and kissing him, moaning as she moved downward. He held her close, moving them to the bed.

---

Connor dozed lightly, holding Elizabeth close. Soon though, he had woken, blinking against the crappy lighting in the hotel room, glancing to Elizabeth with a smile. He was really reluctant to get up, and returning to the rode, feeling as if he could just stay in the bed with her forever. He closed his eyes again, but once more in moments he opened them.

He sighed softly, glancing out the window, were it was still light out. He figured they might as well make the best of daylight, and continue on back to the farm, but he just felt so good, so relaxed, and happy. And satisfied. It was almost like the last four years were just...fading away, leaving him with the hunting knowledge, but fading away the loneliness and...dead feeling.

He reluctantly began to move, sitting up.

[Crawkid]

She also lightly dozed. This time laying against his chest and listening to his heartbeat, instead of using his shoulder as a type of pacifier.

Personally, she had felt satisfied with life since being blessed...but knowing that Connor now would feel satisfied and rid of lust's effects (and the added satisfaction of her end) brought her that much more fulfillment.

She groaned and slid down to hug Connor's waist when he sat up. her satisfaction was momentarily marred. "Why do we always have to move afterwards?" she grumbled.She wasn't seriously upset, but it would be nice one of these days to have their fun, and then sleep a full night and wake up naturally. Never gunna happen, she told herself, noting that Connor only slept a few hours at a time. "...and why can't we find a way to bottle Lust's powers " it was quieter, and rhetorical.

They could get moving...but for now...Elizabeth still clung around his waist.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor smiled as she hugged him, and leaned down to kiss her softly, "We have daylight left, and I want to get back to the farm as soon as we can. I want to get Bessie out of the stable." And he wanted to make sure they were safe. His farm offered a lot of protection, out on the road, they were at risk of vampires looking for his blood.

He chuckled, "We don't need Lust's abilities" He said, laying back down, content to stay where they were for a time, not wanting to particularly move either, but knowing they should move soon. He was feeling very reluctant to get up, warm, and happy, with Elizabeth in his arms as he wrapped them around her.

And then he sighed, "Greed and Sloth" he said, with a yawn, "probably around somewhere" And that was precisely why they should get moving, before the effects could reach them completely. But he was very reluctant to do so, wanting to take all the time in the world, to simply just be with her.

[Crawkid]

Elizabeth frowned slightly at his last comment. "They have the whole world to mess with...why would they concentrate so much around here?" she mused. After everything that's been going on, how things seem to be shifting and becoming unusually intense in those parts, she wouldn't argue against the possibility - but it all still seemed odd to her.

Regardless, he was right. They had things to do. They needed to get back to the farm, to get Bessie back, to talk to marl and get her blood looked at. With that in mind, she let go of him, offering him just one more kiss before sliding off of the bed. She looked at her clothes, and smiled again, reveling in the memories of the moment. Silently, she gathered them and got dressed. She then stretched, pausing as those muffled words played through her mind again, along with the remnant feelings of being cocky. It took her a second, but she began to recognise those feelings as not her own. She tried, instead, to focus on the sound of Connor's voice. Still, she couldn't quite make out what he was saying. Quietly, she sighed to herself, before finishing up her stretches.

She returned to her feelings of peace and happiness. God had accepted her back, she could deal with everything else...and as she thought that, she looked back at Connor, still smiling peacefully. "Connor...I love you.'

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor sighed softly, and said "the seven-" he yawned "the seveb appear together. They come into the world together and wreck hovac generally in the area they arrived in" he explained, "they don't care where they get their victims, so long as they can wreck hovac and disaster"his voice was weary, but he still managed to explain it "and where one demon, or in this case seven are, more are attracted to them. But then, there's a lot of bad going around, and we don't know why"

He watched as Elizabeth rose, returning her kiss, but was reluctant to move himself. But he did so, stretching as he rose, and dressing quickly. He glanced about, making sure they had everything pondering everything that had happened, and what he could predict would continue to happen. Asides from the rising vampires, there were demons, djin, shape shifters, werewolves, and more seemed to be rising. There just weren't enough hunters.

As Elizabeth turned towards him and smiled, Connor couldn't help but return the smile, answering it almost immediately. His response was immediately, and he went over to her, gently wrapping her arms around her "I love you too"

[Crawkid]

She gently laid her hand down on one of his, feeling the comfort of his presence and touch. "I'm glad you found me." she whispered, staying for another moment before pulling away. With a sigh, she focused on what they had to do. "Alright, so this time, when I pay, we can move on with our plans and hopefully not have to worry about some cocky demon screwing with us, so to speak." She lightly stretched again, but it was faster. She smiled lightly at her bit of humor, but reminded herself that there were still toher demons out there, and they couldn't take her over, but other innocent people. it was a god thing she was a quick learner, and this hunting stuff had gone well for her so far. Idly, she began to think about the werewolf from before. Now that she was human again, she could turn into things again too...or could she have turned into a vampiric werewolf? It was an interesting thought, but not one she wanted to test out on herself (or innocent people for that matter) and, with God's blessing, she hoped that she would remain and die human.

[MarshiestMallow]

(Wrong one)

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor stayed where he was for a moment, watching Elizabeth, smiling slightly. And then he rose, running a hand through his hair, musing it up further then it was already. He shifted, making sure they had everything, and said "The seven aren't that bad, individually, but when they are all together their powers are hightened, which causes things like fighting over something you both want, and therefore leading to a fight to the death. Or being too lazy to get up so you die f dehydration and thirst." He said, rubbing his eyes. He wondered, briefly, what he would have in his head if he didn't have all this supernatural knowledge. Probably something like advanced calculus. So nothing useful. He was born for the hunter life now. "I might be able to craft something that wll help us with their effects. They will have to be dealt with sooner or later" He said musingly.

[Crawkid]

She nodded, now taking in the information he gave her. "We'll keep it in mind" she assured him quietly. "But our goal right now is to get back to Bessie and the farm right?" Everything was set, so she looked through her money. "How much was the rate here?" (Huzzah! the option to edit!)

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor nodded, wanting to get back to his horse soon, to make sure she had been alright in the stable. He would have to think about breeding her, to continue her line and continue the supernatural resistance in her blood. He glanced outside, but all seemed well, so he checked the car out, and loaded what gear they had taken out of it back in, returning inside. "Uh. It wasn't dear" He said, "(insert price because I don't know the going rate for hotels and motels). take some holy water and a stake to the receptionist, just in case" He said in concern. if he could go himself, he would. But it was too much of a risk.

[Crawkid]

She pulled out the money,and the items, to be careful. There really could be no down side to being careful at a time like this. She hid them on her person and nodded at him. She stepped out and walked to go pay the man for their time spent together at the hotel.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor slid into the car, just in case they had to make a quick get away, and started the car, watching as Elizabeth walked to the reception area, slipping sun glasses on, and tucking his cap on his head, watching to make sure that she was okay. While he didn't sense any supernatural's around, he wasn't going to let his guard down, not now Not until they were home at least.

[Crawkid]

The receptionist was dealt with with no incident. Smiling and thanking them, she completed the simple tasks that were required. Leaving the building, she was glad she didn't have to do anything like killing a man in front of a bunch of people...but a part of her wondered and worried about what Connor had said. Was sloth really around, or were they just having a lazy moment?

Sh stopped, letting another car pass before continuing. Her eyes caught site on him with his disguise, and she sighed slightly to herself. Walking to the car and opening the door, she slid in. "Nothing happened...now loosen up and drive out slowly. You look like the shadiest character from an old movie as it is."
