Shadow finally dried himself off and began to cook some bacon. As the bacon cooked he changed out of his wet clothes right fast in his bedroom. However before he could put on his muscle shirt he seen someone outside in the ran walking around on of the houses, "Damn those vamps. Don't they know not to break the treaty? Fuck." Draping the shirt over his shoulder he walked into his kitchen and turned off the stove and took the pan with the bacon off the hot iron. Opening his door he stepped out onto his porch growling deeply in his chest. By now the rain was really heavy, but still looking at the figure as the wind blew he caught the scent and realized it wasn't a vamp. It was one of his newbies, Iris. Blinking for a few minutes as he puzzled out why she was walking around her house. Then it clicked to him. The girls she lived with always complained about her scent. Shaking his head as he sighed heavily, "They must have locked the poor girl out."
Running his fingers through his raven hair he shook his head again then called out to her, "Hey, Iris! You get locked out? Come on over and dry off." Saying that he turned around and walked back into his home leaving his door opened for her to come inside. Going back to the stove he turned it back on and flipped the bacon. Once that side was cooked he added more in case if Iris was hungry too. As he cooked his shirt got in the way, so he tossed it over into one of the near by stools around his islander. "How many eggs do you want, Iris?"

Crimson hadn't heard any movement in the Castle for some time, but as Leopold entered her eyes flew opened and she watched him carefully. As he made his joke she looked out the window and nodded in agreement. Again as he moved she watched him, but Ban jumped up onto the table as Leopold sat down. Looking at the book on the table she shrugged her shoulders, "Nothing really. Just a book on codes. Nothing fancy really." Grabbing the book before he could she closed it and put it away. As the lightning flashed she froze and closed her eyes tightly. Gently her body began to shake as Ban stood up and meowed softly at her. Turning her eyes to Ban she nodded and softly began to breath again, "Thank you, Ban. I have to constantly remind myself." Shaking her head she sat back down again gently picking up Ban and holding him close to her, "Why are you here, My Lord?"
