She laughed slightly again and actually gave a soft smile. "Come now. You just like it because it shows I have some fear in me and that fearless little Aurahkah can cry afterall." She wiped at her eyes again. then laced her arms around his neck, a finger playing in his hair. "Or is it that I just look vunerable?"

"no..thats not it, fear is interesting...intertaning at best..."He raied a fingure traceing her cheek" maby.." he answered giveing her a fanged smile before pulling himself from her imbrace to stand. He reached down scouping her up and cradeling her aganst his chest"maby its the fact that little old immaculate Aurahkah is looking so disheveld" He made his way form the great hall with her in his arms. As he stepped into the hall everything around her seemed to speed up, it was like everything was in fast forward. He was walking casualy at a normal pace but the halls seemed to fly by much faster around them. Everything stopped suddenly and the two were standing infront of her door" were here" he said with a smile.

She rolled her eyes slightly. "Vampire tricks....and I am not old...I'm antique. And you want to see disheveled? I had to scrub mud off of Eclip..." Aura stopped mid sentence. Not a good subject to step into." She then looked to her door and laughed. "Oh yes, let's admire my door and it's brand new lock." Her smile then faltered a little. "I guess I'll be sleeping with all thirty six of those candles lit...won't I?"
"You always slept with the lights on...always afraid after that first time, that first shadow walk...such a disappointment to me Aurahkah...nothing but a scared little girl..."
Aura shook her head violently for a moment. Then brought a hand to her temple, rubbing at the spot. Realizing the action she quickly stopped and smiled at Vincent as if nothing was wrong.

" actually its a new trick, I just figured out how to do it a few days ago"Her door unlocked and opened by itself, The shadows form the room looked like they were reaching out toward the two of them. Vincent made his way forward into the darkness the door closing behind them and locking. He made his way over to the bed before setting her on her feet. It was strange but the very shadows themselves seemed to cling to Vincent more then normal

She snapped her fingers, creating a small flame at the tip of her index finger, giving off at least some light. She was trying to keep her cool, but she was actually slightly trembling...and she hurt the slightest bit...especially the wing etched tattoo on her back. "Alright Vincent, not funny at all..." Aura scrambled over silk and satin sheets to he head of her bed where she lit the candle that was on her bedside table.
"More scared of the shadows than the very blood sucking creature that lurks behind you..."

he let out a small laugh as she went to light the candles, just as before as the light hit him the shadows rolled off him like smoke, shuttering back away from the light" I would if I could but it seems that after my recovery the shadows have taken a real liking to me." he said making his way over to the light."it's most interesting" he said reaching down and touching her trembling hand. He leaned in close to her" fear not, nothing can hurt you while I'm here"

"I'm not afraid of what can hurt me out here..." She mumbled the next part. "More of what my mind is doing to me..." Aura managed to twine her fingers with the ones Vincent had laid on top of her own as she rolled her shoulders back, making an attempt to make the slight ache sensation disappear. "Pity that the shadows adore you and seem to be giving me trouble."

"whats that, your mind is the thing giving you the trouble....thats different. I was thinking it was a separate being but killing a thought is down right tricky...Care to elaborate more on the situation?"He said looking over at her

Aura smirked slightly and took a seat on the edge of her bed. "Right...vampire hearing." She sighed and dropped her gaze so that she was staring at the floor. Then she forced a smile and laugh. "Nothing. Really, I'm just being crazy, just...settling into my new found powers...I'm sure I"m just hearing things."
"You're a bad liar too...what did I tell you about lying wench?"

"your gonna have to do better then that, we vampires can tell when your lieing" he said with a smirk...He had learned to sense the subtle changes in a humans body when they told a lie, increased heart rate, perspiration, and so forth it was all very minor but for a vampires keen senses, especally one who had made it a point to learn to do this, it wasn't all that hard, especially when someone was lieing threw there teeth like her.

"Damn you vampires." She sighed for a moment. "Alright...I am hearing something in my head, but not like with Phea...my voice is made from pieces of my memories...memories of my...father." She looked away more, laughed bitterly, and lapsed into her native tongue. "The man who tortured me for fourteen years, the man I know died millenia ago is now haunting my head...reminding me how stupid and incompetent at things I am, how I never did anything right and if I did it wasn't good enough! First my father, then that damn Pharaoh and now my father again!" She put a hand to her mouth, covering it as she had realized she had actually been yelling.

Vincent stared silently down at her as her words quickly turned into shouting, he relay want sure what to say. He couldn't relay remember his father, or mother for that matter, It was so long ago, and he had been drafted into the military at a young age. " not good enough, you seem quite competent to me, you were a master thief and a powerful priestess"

"Only because that man beat me day in and day out until I got everything right. I never got one word of acceptance or praise from him, just a slap in the face or a broken arm...if you knew me when I was a priestess you would of hated me. Everyone did anyway...And a master thief? Only because that same man forced me to take care of myself when we were forced out of the temple, either survive or die because I was a daughter and not a son, thus not worth keeping alive. It was hard enough back then knowing that I was never loved by my parents but even harder now being reminded of it..."
"See how easy it is when you admit that to yourself. I should of beat you harder, maybe then you could of done everything that I asked of you...even shadow walk when I told you to."
"He tried to force me to learn to shadow walk...and I couldn't...and he broke wrist for that one...". Aura's hand went ironically to her right wrist, the same one that was encircled with the golden bracelet, touching the spot in memory.

"I see, well do you think if you learned to shadow walk the voice would go away?" he asked" it's really not that hard" he said standing from the bed and taking a few steps back into the darkness, the shadows engulfing him once again"watch" in the blink of an eye he had disappeared and was now standing on the other side of the room" see...it just takes a bit of practice, altho I never had mine go off involuntarily." he dissipated again reappearing back on the other side of the room" with some work you will be able to do a wide variety of things." A smile perked up on his lips, his pearly white fangs catching the light form the candles. He outstretched a hand toward her, the shadows snaking out like whips from his fingertips. The were like black tentacles stressing out a few feet in front of him. He was careful not to get them too close to her, he didn't want to scare her. The tentacles sucked back in as Vincent dropped his hand to his side and staked form the darkness to stand before her again.

((Seems I have the compy once more. And to my joy, there are now a series of holes in my bedroom cieling.))
Bad habits are hard to break. Such is the case for Saradin as well. Sleep still wasnt a fully comfortable idea for him, guards lowered to far for his liking. So, in the still of night he traced the halls like a spectre, lost in the afterlife. No real options other than train, which he had his fill of earlier, no cooking need be done, most were asleep. Saradin, in what may have been a historical first for him, was bored.
