It was late February and snow seemed to fall perpetually on the war torn country, leaving behind grey slush in the gutters beside the ancient, grey-brick buildings beside the grey factories to make the grey bricks and turned the normally white, snow-cloud sky a sickly ash grey. Everything was grey in the steam-run city, even the people who were starting to feel the after effects of the reluctantly lost war.

Still, within the grey, shrouded winter there were small patches of brightness and one of these was the Stargazer Cafe--as in, stargazer lilies, of course, though no one ever questioned why it was a tiger lily on the sign instead of the cafe's namesake. It was just a little, comfort-driven outfit, which is run by an attractive, young man and some of his close friends and frequented by the ladies for their tea, gentlemen for discussing important matters, and some other creatures too.

You see, behind the cafe was another room, also owned by this young man that only opened its doors after dark and only to those who knew the key. Within was the cafe's true namesake. The room itself was painted the deepest blue and speckled with little, silver stars to make it seem like one really was stargazing. The carpets were plush and the chairs even more so. The room was littered with overstuffed chairs and couches, some facing each other, some simply facing the room. A small bar was along the far wall where drinks could be made for the patrons, but just who was it who came here?

They were most commonly known as the Stargazer's society and this was where they met, let in only if they knew the password--which was Orion--and could show the silver, telescope charm that is received upon being accepted. While to any outsider, it was just a tiny gentlemen's club, but to the insiders, it was a sanctuary.

Vampires!

Yes, that's right. While the government really didn't care for them, they had no laws prohibiting their existence, unless, of course, they drank too much and killed someone. That was, after all, how the cafe had come to the hands of this kind young man when his sire had been locked away for killing an innocent person. Still, that's beside the point.

The point being, this was where they came to feed and to spend time with those of their own race. Even the cafe was a place where Vampires could come and simply chat in the late hours of the day, after the sun had gone down.

Welcome to the Stargazer's society.

Now, it seems everyone's visions of vampires are different nowadays, so here's what will be going on in this RP.

-They do drink blood. This should be a given. This is why they have human donors at the club.

-Simply biting does not turn the human in to a vampire. That would involve drinking the vampire's, which you can do if you want, but only with the other player's consent.

-They can not fly. They can't transform in to bats and fly that way either.

-They can eat human food, but it will make them sick after a few hours since their stomachs have no need for human food.

-They are eternal, but only if they are regularly able to drink, otherwise they will start to decay, and that's never pretty.
User ImageHomer once spoke of the rosy-fingered child of dawn crawling over the hillside to bring morning to the world. Lucas Bellemont really couldn't have cared less. To be completely honest, he much preferred the handsome, mysterious prince of the night who could sweep you off your feet and in to his cloak of stars and bring out the hopeless romantic in anyone. There was nothing romantic about dawn. It meant hangovers and being rudely awakened by that one annoying sliver of sunlight that managed to push past the curtains and in to his bedroom. Not to mention, Lucas hated children.

Still, that was beside the point as he shut off the lights, locked the cash box and drew the curtains across the front of the shop, hiding the glass-topped tables, and the ancient, beige wallpaper and the pink flowers placed exactly on the centre of every table. Finally, the neon "open" sign was clicked off to further discourage any late-night stragglers from wandering up to see if they were, indeed, open. It was a regular routine for Lucas, every night and to undo it in the morning before the rosy fingers of said child were visible beyond the seemingly never ending sea of skyscrapers and factories.

A light sigh escaped the cafe-owner as he moved to the back of the building, to the back door where the society members were to enter and place out a small vace with a single--fake--lily, so that anyone who knew the symbol would know that the back room was open. Why fake, you ask? Well, as Lucas would tell anyone who cared to ask, money was not to be wasted and Stargazer lilies were heinously expensive in the snowy months of the year, especially when they had to be imported probably through two other countries at least so then they'd be wilted by the time they arrived, which then made it even more of a waste to spend all that money shipping in dozens of flowers.

In short, Lucas was a bit of a miser when it came to his money.

Now, all that was left was preparing the back room. A few lamps were flicked on to give the room a decent bit of light and some light classical music put on as he finally moved out to the doorway to wait for his guests to arrive and the night to begin.

The limp body of yet another teenager lay in the hands of the vampire, his soft hands caressing up and down the slender figure of a young beautiful blonde. The sort of athletic build of a cheerleader, bangs of long golden hair flowing over his arm and wavering with the last breaths of life. Vladimir sat quite calmly, with little movement, like a statue stooped over what could’ve been thought as a sleeping blonde. His lips pressed delicately upon her arched neck, tasting her flesh as long elegant pearly white elongated canines; that that could have been possessed by an animal; slowly dug into it. Penetrating her flesh Vlad slowly stroked his hand up across her face to hush her lips as a small moan was emitted, a slight smile playing on his lips before the inevitable. The warm flow, the salty liquid bursting in an explosion of desire into his mouth, his own moan emitted at the pleasure that the sensation caused despite the years of doing it daily. Her blood was smooth and soft, a warm red hand caressing his mouth and throat as it moved in a strong flow. He could feel her heart beat, strong and resilient, refusing to give up without a struggle. His own heart pounding angrily along with it, synchronising almost as he felt the hunger fade, but still the desire to drink continued, untamed, wild and rapid.

Finally her beat began subsided, drawing himself away from her he carefully licked the last of the fluid around her neck before she passed, replacing the long blonde locks that glistened the girl’s innocence as it fell. He could taste her virginity, it was a delight to feel upon his tongue, not moving the muscle in case the taste moved onwards he picked her up in his arms. Placing her limp body upon a blanket and beginning to wrap her up, as though she had taken to sleep on the streets and had passed due to the cold. Such an integral plan to avoid the blame that had been travelling through out their existence, such were the times when a vampire could leave the body bare and uncared for. Now inquisitions and police work flooded the streets each night another body appeared.

Standing back to his teenaged height the brunette brushed off his faded jeans and straightened out his dark black T-shirt – with bright white long sleeves appearing underneath. His fashion sense of a teenager still attempting to keep up with the modern trends, which had become easier, his thanks thrown towards the MTV nation. Scooping up a rather immaculate leather jacket that he had left on a crate whilst enticing the young blonde into the idea that he had a sense of affection towards her, he placed it over his shoulders with the usual clatter of chains.

Emerging to the main street he saw the usual slender figure of his brother, taller, slimmer and paler. His head masked by a long black hooded-top that he’d obviously worn to school today; the vampire smiled and sighed; his brother despite age still wanted to be a teenage, mingle with children of the age had was frozen in time as. Vladimir had lost his desire to do such things long a go, humanity was nothing but a pawn to him. In truth Vlad only went to school to woo teens into his trap and play his own sordid little games.

Dominick on the other hand wished to socialise with others, grow himself friendships and feel that wanting once more. His skin beneath the hooded shirt glistening like a china doll, a symbol that he had not yet drank but would soon need too. The two creatures of the dark met under street lamps, Vladimir smiling and brushing back his brown hair to look at the vampire of almost identical appearance,

“Why do you suffocate yourself with the delusions of friendships amongst the human race, brother?” a sharp snarl present in his tone, disgust for his brother’s actions mingled with the desire to turn the taller twin into his own kind more than his play thing and puppy dog. To turn him into his companion, to hunt as a pair, instead of watch as his brother took those who wished to pass or drank just enough to survive.

“They want little to do with you…” The lack of reaction form Dominick was not uncommon, his brother’s constant questioning and insults seemed to deflect off him as though his soft ageless skin was a glass shield,

“You don’t see the world through my eyes Vladimir.” his voice translucent and almost consumed in the night, the kind of tone of a saddened being that often occupied his vocal chords.

The pair turned the corner to see that one lily, making their way around the back Vladimir as usual took the lead. His black coat fluttering slightly like a cape as they approached, pushing open the back door with the lack of caution he always possessed around other vampires. His face now filled with the colour of the living due to the gift from the blonde. Hazel eyes looked towards the shop owner, almost envious of his appearance age, his knowledge and the respect that he seemed to gain from every vampire around him,

“Beautiful Evening, Lucas.” a cordial greeting that seemed to occur often upon his lips, a simple statement that had become his version of ‘good morning’ almost. Walking further into the room he heard the footsteps of his brother behind him, like a ghost in comparison in entrance Dominick looked over to the taller vampire and gave a small smile before pulling the hood down to reveal his face.

“You haven’t had the time to appreciate the evening Vladimir.” his tone taking more vindication than it had before, but still laced in translucence,
“You haven’t had the time to appreciate much but that of your own desires…”

With that Dominick removed his hoody all together and closed the door, placing the garment; neatly folded; upon the nearest flat surface.
Stepping just in tune with the twins, he was only seconds behind them. Walking up to the back door, he quickly waved to Lucas. "Evening." Nodding, he walked himself inside. Taking off a silver jacket, and folding it over his arm. Pulling out a real Stargazer lilly from the package it arrived in. "My great niece brought it back from her trip. I think a real one would be nice." Smiling, he handed it, a new vase and all, to Lucas. That was Kazuo. Going out of his way to please.

But, then again, after the original society owner got taken away, he was just glad someone was willing to take over. In short, while Lucas was stingy, Kazuo was a big spender, and willing to go all the way for a friend. It was, however, hard to transport, and would probably wilt soon. Still, it always was nice to have a real lilly for the society. The smell of them carried through the air, so it smelt fresh outside. Also, he handed Lucas his new novel, before walking inside. Smiling to himself. It felt good to do something nice for someone else.
"Nosferatu I know you well,
I’ve heard your dreams inside my own,
I know where upon the darkness dwells
Your heart so caringly carved of stone."


Indeed nosferatu walked these streets, crossed these roads and took refuge in the warmth of various cafes, restaurants and so on. Etienne secretly, silently delighted in the fact that he could let his mind wander onto the notion that maybe the man in front of him was one of them. But his eyes were not so skillfully trained, and barely compared to those that have lived for centuries beyond his own years; so that was he let his mind do on that subject. Wander and delight in little satisfaction if perhaps one of 'them' would only momentarily give themselves away to any who watched a little too closely. Etienne often watched when he wasn't working, when he could sit on a bench rather idly passing the time as though reading those chunky novels strangers always seemed impressed with. Or at least, you thought they were impressed.

But tonight wasn't an evening off work, not as he closed the door to his apartment, the shared door since his own apartment was at the top of a four story building. The night was cool and the wind bit into cheeks in an almost refreshing brush of cold teeth, his scarf wrapped around his neck and partially covering his mouth to add protection against the night weather. Ok, so perhaps it wasn't that cold, but Etienne had a tendency to over compensate - keeping the buttons of his white coat done so as not to suffer against the chill of the wind. In the blanket of night, as he mentally mapped his way down a route he knew by heart, often convinced he could walk it with his eyes closed despite how tedious that may be. Starting from his apartment, past a factory or two, and houses so closesly packed you would've thought even the bricks needing breathing space. Till eventually reaching the front of the Stargazer's cafe, the closed front of course - the neon light no longer beckoning the patrons. Yet as he moved further around the building, a different type of beacon reached out to the very few who knew of it's true meaning.

God how he sometimes wished Lucas would just get over the money side of things and pay the cost for a real stargazer lilly. But no, no he would never say that, wouldn't dare think it around Lucas whilst he worked, and soon quickened the pace of his steps as he meandered into the back entrance of the member's only gentleman's club. A light smile almost instantly played with his lips when pale gray eyes met with the owner's own, "Evening Mr Bellemont" the words so fluidly leaving his lips as he rushed further to the back so as to change out of his coat and scarf. He disappeared for a moment, perhaps longer into what he deemed a staff room, although it was initial a stock room - where he slid out of his coat, scarf and those winter boots he wore.

In his backpack he pulled out a better pair of boots, knee high and black. The first time he wore them, he could've sworn it would've been more humane to just have his feet sliced off, but now - now he couldn't do without them, even if they still cause some pain to the balls of his feet. They only pushed him up an extra two and a half inches anyway, but seemed to go well with rest of his out fit. Off the shoulder black and white top that rather elegantly exposed his shoulders and, more importantly the porcelain contours of his neck. Along with a pair of tight pair of form fitting black trousers, ones that rather nicely hugged his a** and hips, the rim of which barely covered by the white laced of the hem of his top.

Right, Now he was ready - leaving the room he had disappeared to in order to be part of that midnight melody, and at least, even if it was just for the evening, he could be part of the secret world of vampires.
User ImageOf course, it never gook long after putting out the lily that his guests began arriving and soon, Lucas stepped back inside out of the cold that, though he couldn't feel, still made him shiver. He remembered what it was like when the sharp winds blew, making the already cold air feel even colder against his cheeks. Still, he managed to smile politely at each and every one of his patrons.

First, the twins, troublemakers he thought of them as. Teens stuck in their rut of being teens forever, which made him thank whatever deity watched over them that he had been turned when he could at least pass for a normal adult in the world. Regardless he nodded to Vladmir, replying with a soft "evening," before turning his attention to Dominick. He'd always pitied him somewhat, and almost coddled him at some points, though Lucas had never been one to interfere with other's want to stay with his brother, though a tender stroke of his hair and a small smile occasionally did just fine in the older vampire's book and he'd probably dote at least a bit of affection upon the quieter of the brothers.

Second was Kazuo. He'd always been a bit... well, he couldn't describe it and though there was just something about this man that made the hair on the back of his neck prickle, no matter how generous and kind he was being, cleaning the club or doing something like placing the fresh lily in his hands. Then again, that was just Lucas, furrowed brow and looking for the logical side of things, for example how his niece would've gotten the money to travel, or how she would've transported such a delicate flower back with her. Still, he supposed it wasn't really something to question and he'd better get it in the ice box to preserve it at least a bit longer. Staring at the pink flower, Lucas muttered a soft thanks and stared out at the cloudy sky and the little puffs of snowflakes locked together, falling and looking like little, white stars over the city. In his mortal days, Lucas hadn't really liked snow, finding it too cold and he didn't like the way it piled up on the side of the road, turned black with grime and sand from the city's street sweepers and simply being driven through. Now, he didn't really care one way or another, though he did like to watch it fall over the dark city, covering it in a blanket of fine, white powder that he would watch before the first commuters destroyed the serene image.

Stepping back inside, he rubbed his hands together simply as instinct after coming in from the cold and tugged at the vest he wore. His jacket had long since been forgotten in the staff room, as it often was during the later hours of the normal day. Of course, he didn't miss the greeting from one of their human donors as he made his way back to the refrigerator in the back, not in the kitchen, but one used for prepared dishes and things like the lily he held. Perhaps he'd press it in one of his books and hang it on the wall to display. That was beside the point, though, as he came back to smile at Etienne and follow him in to the meeting room, closing, but not locking, the door behind himself.

A lazy sort of smile crept over the vampire's lips as he moved to pause, a light smile given to the younger-seeming boys--including a small squeeze to Dominick's shoulder as he passed beside the couch he sat upon. Next, he smiled a small, prickly, fangy grin at Kazuo before finding a seat near the wall where he could survey the room, and give the human a soft smile from where he sat, one leg crossed over the other, leaned back in a casual slouch. It always took a few minutes before the relaxed mood of the evening sank in and Lucas really relaxed, some nights took longer than others, but work had been particularly stress-free, at least the part of the day he'd been there for. Now, he smirked almost to himself and watched the room with a sort of lazy observance, just waiting for whomever wanted to talk to him, to come talk to him.

For some reason the younger appearing vampires were very acute to temperature, Vladimir; still wrapped in his warm black leather jacket; didn’t take long to allow himself in, to allow himself to lie around as though Lucas’ gentleman’s club style setting actually was designed for his pleasure and his pleasure alone. Lying back into one of the more comfortable of the chairs, he let his hazel eyes swoop around the stunningly decorated room; though of course he didn’t take in such delights, only the expensive things; drumming his fingers on the arms of the chair he watched the lily change hands with a slight sparkle in his eyes. He’d always wanted to get his hands on such a delightfully costly flower.

The smirk on Vlad’s face was all too obvious to Dominick who let his darker eyes shoot a small attempt to scold his brother, which was simply removed at one raised eyebrow from Vladimir. His gaze turned to the floor for a mere moment, Dom his behind his hair until he felt the soft re-assuring touch of Lucas on his shoulder, with a flicker of chestnut hair his eyes; still young in comparison to most of the vampires that graced the doors; stared up into the older vampire’s.

He stared for a small moment before looking away with a coy smile, not wanting to be rude but unsure of how to act – in keeping with his school boy appearance. A small sly smile covered Vladimir’s face and he looked up at Lucas for a moment before looking back to the shy reaction of his younger brother,

“You make a fool of yourself Dominick…” his words laced with a smug sense of malice, arms folded as he cocked his head at the male with almost identical appearance.

Dom said very little instead he looked up at Kazuo and Etienne, giving each a small nod and a smile with his best attempts to ignore the piercing glare of his brother.

Heavy footsteps were denied their usual thunder by the sludge lacing the pavements. Disappointing. He had once walked with such fury, such a judgement in his steps that those in his path near always backed away. Respected clergyman. Right honest Reverend. Heaven in the hands of a mortal man.

And then he was nothing.

Maybe he made no sound because he was a shell of things lost. That could’ve been it. A shell would be so light that it wouldn’t cause any sort of substantial crash when boot touched floor. He was an angel flying with wide spread wings. His feet only just scarred the tarmac that covered the pavement, leaving marks wherever he went.

And then the marks faded.

Uriel closed his eyes, not needing to look where he was going. The doorman knew all of the twists and turns in the road that would lead him to work. He didn’t need to pay attention to the people in his way - they would step aside if they were smart, or he would knock them down like a runaway train. Still temporarily blind, one bony hand shoved its way into a trench coat pocket and removed Zippo and cigarette. Cigarette made it’s way to mouth, flame to end, tar to lungs. Uriel didn’t care about damage. He was already dead. What difference did all the nicotine make?

Well, enough, if he ever didn’t get the opportunity to feed. He’d be like a lemon with jaundice.

The air smelt pungent. Lilies. That was definitely the café he’d just waltzed past. Well, perhaps Uriel didn’t know his way so well after all. Opening both weighted eyes groggily before moving back towards the front door, Uriel bustled inside, not bothering to shake off snow. He just moved; an unstoppable force until reaching destinations. Lacklustre stares traced the room as Uriel scuffled to where the first patrons of the night would have collected, and murmured, vacantly.
“Sorry I’m late.”

The tone he used was almost a whisper. A bubble of air that was swallowed after being blown outwards. Uriel lacked the apparent confidence he once had, instead preferring solace and silence to his past vibrancy. Both hands laced in front of the deep eggplant-violet trench that dressed the brunette, spidery digits forming a cradle of fingers. Almost as if Uriel was praying for forgiveness.

Green eyes only caught the gaze of each figure in the room for split seconds before they took great interest in the ground. Snow dusted his shoes, his clothes, and began to melt into the fabric. Even into his hair, which was a touch windswept and thinned. Bitten down nails tugged at skin in wait for order - Uriel was a man who could rarely act of his own accord. He was a servant to the master that held control of him. That master, at the present time, was Lucas - his employer. His lifeline. And, Uriel had to maintain obedience and punctuality with his employer, or that lifeline would swiftly flatline.

A second apology babbled out, alongside a monotonous “It won’t happen again.”

Welcome to Heaven
We burn tonight
Welcome to Heaven
I'll make you mine...
Soothing warmth of the club's atmosphere had brushed along the blood donor's exposed neck and shoulders, as fingers slid through those bleached out blonde strands of hair. Despite his tresses looking a bit tired, it wasn't that noticeble in the soft light of the club, and certainly he hoped it wasn't being paid attention to. Amongst rather well groomed vampires, Etienne did his best (or near enough) to look more than just presentable. Though he was aware that some of the club members fed before arriving, he still found his way over the carpeted floors on the up chance that there were those who hadn't - or were feeling a little greedy that evening.

Black boots walked silently and those grey eyes caught the small nod and a smile from one of the twins, the only one that did smile in a rather gentle manner. The smile that Etienne returned with was perhaps a touch sympathetic, but all he could do was bare witness to the two brothers interact whilst they stayed at the club. Who knew the real extent of their relationship, how it worked, or what either one was thinking on that level. It was better, wiser for Etienne as a human, to stay out of such affairs and instead brought himself over to the edge of the couch which Vladimir had took to lounging along.

A quirk of a smile perked at his lips and he leaned over the back a bit, soft strands of that blonde hair falling down one side of his head and face, exposing his jaw and neck to the creature that looked so many years younger than himself. "Care for a drink from the bar?" his tone polite, though perhaps his expression was a touch more menacing it didn't pour through his voice. Aside from being a blood donor to the gentleman at the club, he did work to serve them drinks aside from the fluid that ran through his veins.
Even with that blood donor just...there. Looking delictible, by the way, Kazuo just wasn't feeling thirsty for blood. Shaking his head, he would probably say no It might've had something to do with feeding before he came, but he usually always went for more. Still, he had other things he'd rather do right now then...press his fangs into that...that delicious looking man. Shaking his head, and sighing. Suddenly, his body began urging for the donor (Who's name he odly forgot.), wanting him to come, sit on his lap, and let him take a drink all night long. Just pressing into his throat.

Taking a seat on one of the loveseats that were in the room, he pulled out a writing pad. With a lamp next to him, and some pens on the coffee table that sat in front of him. He was trying so hard to write. Trying so hard to ignore that blood donor. The one he always had tried to ignore most nights. Looking at him, he shut the writing pad for the moment. A drink would probably ease him a little more. Placing it down on the coffee table, he looked to the donor, and smiled at him too. He knew he wasn't watching. "Excuse me, good sir. But, I would like a drink tonight."

The more confident of the two twins sat with a small smile on his face as he watched the blood donor, Vladimir had always loved that blonde hair that seemed to flow quite beautifully of Etienne’s head in a flourish of bleached gold. Of course he’d never appreciated it in the way his brother did, no Vlad was a lot more interested in it because blonde was more… innocent, more your stereotypical virgin hair colour, it made his experience generally more intense and exciting. Hazel eyes watched as the only human in the room offered up his blood, despite already drinking he felt a small tinge but fought it back, watching as Kazuo who had obviously drank earlier on due to the colour in his tone partook in the greed that both of them seemed to share for the intense burst of warm blood to spark there senses.

His eyes seemed to spark with the slightest sign of concern towards his brother who was obviously shying away from consuming human blood once again; despite knowing the pleasure of it. It seemed that ‘young’ Dominick as he liked to call him went through phases of consuming humans but only enough leaving them able to survive and drinking animals. He was unsure but the almost ghostly white colour of the male who appeared between the ages of sixteen or seventeen concerned Vladimir – he needed a companion and Dominick would not be a good one if starved.

“Dominick your pigment seems to be lacking.” his expression now amused and smug once more, tone oozing with sarcasm and torment at his brother’s… affliction as he saw it,

“Where there no rats to play with on your way here?” it seemed affection was shown by Vladimir purely in a sarcastic jest at his brother, pushing back some of his curled brown hair so that it was out of his hazel gaze he stared directly at his brother with a smug smile before looking at Etienne,

“Are you offended that he doesn’t want to drink from you? I would be.” Through out this ordeal the taller twin had been looking down at the ground, his pale complexion hidden behind the mats of brown that dangled across his face, hands hidden in the sleeves of his school blazer and quietly biting at his bottom lip.

Dominick had soon learnt to fight off blood lust until killer instinct hit in, usually he’d avoid it completely with rats but with the current weather animals were becoming harder and harder to find. Along with him decreasing the population in what was presumed some sort of animal epidemic; much like bird flu, which was caused by Turkish Vampires I assure you. Dark brown eyes stared across at Vladimir, met by the sharp stunning hazel, his expression unable to read from a mixture of his face being obscured and a general blandness.

All eyes seemed to flutter over Uriel and overshadow like a flock of fleeing butterflies. He was a statue at the edge of the room, obscured in the false night that the starry patterned walls provided. His own skintone was quite pale - pallid, pathetic. He'd not fed in a while. Pride tried to war with hunger as Uriel rubbed his clasped hands together - proud Uriel would never sink as low to feed from something like a beast, a being below his humanity.

But he wasn't human, was he? Oh, God above, God ignoring him, he could act that way.

Everyone was ignoring the doorman today. Even the people in the street - though he'd passed them far too quickly for anyone to stop him.

Brown hairs fell over a green eyed stare as Uriel took in the sights before him - so much beauty, when he was just... handsome. Resplendent faces and pointed smiles outshining a far more aged, but clean-cut and comely figure. Uriel just remained on the spot. Just remained and observed, the length of his flyaway hair masking the edges of a firm frown. He needed orders or no action could be taken. What did they expect him to do?

The acidic tinted gaze flickered. It bore a hole in walls - not literally, of course - in the way Uriel fixed it. To the brothers, to the blonde donor, to the boisterous author and to his beloved master last of all.

Itchy fingers twitched.
User ImageLucas had what might've been called a soft spot for Dominick, always being picked on by his brother, always getting the short end of the stick--or so he saw. At the same time, though, he didn't want to interfere and coddle him too much because that probably wouldn't make anything better, and it would probably lead both men in to some kind of trouble at some point. Now that the lily and the book he'd been carrying were safely set elsewhere, he looked around the room with a soft sigh and a gentle grumble at the chill that even he could feel. Lucas hated the cold even in his un-dead state.

For a long moment, his eye turned back to the two boys as they were joined by the human, such a kind, young man, willing to work for them like this. It made Lucas smile just slightly and briefly wonder if he really was paying Etienne enough before his eyes moved more specifically to Dominick. Though he didn't want to interfere, that soft spot caused the older vampire quite a bit of worry over the well-being of the boy while he was under the control of his brother.

Regardless, he shrugged and turned his gaze elsewhere, looking for something else to draw his attention from the younger vampires as they were with Etienne. Luckily, for the host, his doorman soon arrived, covered in snow and staring at the ground, as was how he normally thought of Uriel whenever he wandered in a few minutes late. Of course, while he may have been prickly to some, Lucas was never very harsh with Uriel, making sure he was fed and understood the ways of their little community as he was working under the supervision of the cafe-owner.

Of course, his attention was briefly distracted by Kazuo approaching their human donor and the older vampire gave what could almost be described as a soft snarl, fangs bared towards the writer.

"Don't be greedy, Kaz. Some of us haven't eaten yet today." His brows furrowed as he stood and stalked over to the door, forcibly turning the door man around to usher him back in to the hall to the coat room, where he dusted some of the snow from Uriel's hair.

"You'll melt all over the furniture," was all he said as he undid his scarf and the buttons of his jacket. It was almost endearing, the way he took care of the younger vampire, making sure he was fed and clothed and generally alright, though there was a sort of begrudging undertone to all his actions when he cared for the younger male as, after all, it had been a society member he'd killed in that graveyard, though as he glanced back through the door at whatever was going on with Etienne and Kaz, he had a feeling that didn't really matter.

Was he a bad person for thinking such things? No, Lucas didn't think so. If he had his way, he'd be able to weed out all the stupid people--and vampires--from the world. Like the ones who jaywalked two metres from a crosswalk and discussed increasingly personal matters in "hushed" voices in public. As far as he was concerned, the want of a private life was dwindling, left only in those who could remember the good old days, which were mostly just the vampires and those too old to do much about that.

Oh well, he thought as he hung up his doorman's coat and scarf, turning back to cup his cheeks in his hands, just seeing how warm he was.

"What in the world got you so late, anyway?" He asked, even though Uriel wasn't really that late, but as Lucas always said "early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable."

Strings attatched to his shoulders.

Figuratively. Uriel moved stiffly with the touch and the words of his employer, the puppet on the end of wire. Almost. There was that large "free will" factor contributing to everything. He said nothing at the shoving into the hall. That was normal. The snow dusting wasn't so much, though it had been raining white a great deal more as of late. A third apology was wheezed on the comment of melting on furniture. He didn't mean to make a mess. Uriel just caused them where he stepped, accidentally.

His hands were still locked - except when Lucas moved to remove Uriel's winter attire. Underneath, his wiry frame was decorated in the usual crisp button up - almost the same colour of the snow, or of his skin - and black, long, ironed trousers. His boots had wonky, oddly coloured laces. Left foot blue, right foot white. Prickly canines scratched on Uriel's bottom lip in the same manner as nails did on knuckles.

"The weather slowed me down, Sir." Sir. Good Sir Lucas. Not Lucas unless he was told to call him Lucas. Not a named man until he announced his name. Uriel finally turned his eyes from the sludge dripped floor to observe Lucas and his actions, his hands.

At the touch, his cheeks were cold; whipped by the chilly winds.

"I won't do it again. I'm sorry. I..." Back down went the piercing, but faded gaze.
"I can mop the mess up."

Not once did his tone seem to show much change, save when Lucas pressed his palms to Uriel's cheeks. Uriel wasn't one for physical contact unless it was required. And, he had yet to know if it was required or not.
