Anna's head snapped towards him, her eyes seemed confused and then she smiled warmly at Lucio - not expecting him to say he'd keep her little sister safe. She mouthed 'thank you,' to him and couldn't seem to lose the smile on her face. He really had no rhyme or reason too, he and Anna barely knew each other and he felt a need to want to help her. She pondered this for a moment, and wondered if he had feelings for her, or maybe he was just a very genuine vagabond that couldn't leave someone in trouble. She tossed the ideas around in her head, hoping that it was because he was possibly developing feelings for her. Her mind stopped wandering when he began to speak, her eyes staring at the man before her, whom was becoming less of a stranger of the past few days.
Biting her lower lip, in her typical fashion, Anna slightly frowned. "I'm sorry," she stated, and looked out into the forest. Listening to what he had to say about killing vampires. She stared down at the ground, processing everything and then ran her fingers through her hair - "I guess I'd have a lot of training to do..seeing as I was nowhere near being skilled enough to kill one the other night," She smirked and it faded quickly. Realizing again, that it was Alphonse who had lost his life - but to her, he lost his life the moment he became a vampire. "Are people born Vampires? Or must you be turned?" She questioned, and then licked her lips, "Does that apply for werewolves too?"
Her father had answered the question slightly the night, saying her whole family from his side carried the gene. It could be triggered via any death that was caused by the holder whether it be accidental or on purpose. She wondered if it ever activated in her, if she were to bite someone would they change? She clutched her dress in her hands as her mind began to race at all of the possibilities. She imagined herself turning into a wolf, a creature of the night - one she hadn't even seen in person before. She closed her eyes, and then released her dress bringing her hands up to her eyes she rubbed them and looked back to Lucio. "Sorry, I guess I was just thinking about the other night..." Anna broke her gaze, and looked over to the creek again.
She stood up, and then bent down in front of Lucio extending her hands. She waited for a moment as he looked to her, and she laughed "Come on," she closed and opened her hands waiting for him to grab them. As he did, she helped pull him up - and while still holding one of his hands led him towards the creek and began to follow it. She eventually dropped his hand, and started to fidget with her dress trying not to look at him. Anna felt the blood race to her face upon the realization she was still holding his hand. She continued walking along side of the creek with him, and finally spoke again "I asked about Werewolves earlier because well...I guess if vampires are real that must mean werewolves are too". Anna scratched behind her ear, and sighed.
As they continued walking it opened up more around them into a giant clearing, the sun beamed into it reflecting off the crystal blue water of the small pond she led him too. It was lively here, birds flying around, a few rabbits on the other side now aware of their presence seemed to be on edge. The water ebbed and flowed with the breeze, and as it was being fed more water by the end of the creeks stream. She again, walked into the water and looked around "This, is Cassandra's favorite place. We usually come here for a swim, and to hide away from responsibilities". Everything in this clearing was like it had been designed perfectly for one to relax. Small bouts of high grass to lay in, the water to swim in, and the sun shone perfectly in allowing the temperature to stay comfortable.
