Deceptively calm, Ryder bent down to pick up his lighter. Flicking it shut, he stared up at Andy with an intense gaze.
"I knew it! You're a bloody vampire aren't you!?" A bit of a foreign accept slipped into his voice. Springing back up, the outlaw whipped out one of his pistols and aimed it at the girl's head. "Get off my flickin' ship right now!"
((Ethan went to dinner, so feel free to respond.))

"Divorce already? That was over quick." Ethan looked between the two of them and the became serious. "Ryder, cool your jets. We're already in space, where the hell do you want her to go?" He leaned against the bulkhead and crossed his arms. "Besides, she helped us in the battle back there, she could be a good ally."

Andy dropped to her knees, trying to calm herself. "Heh.. what are you? Some kind of racist?" She slowly looked up at him, smirking. Her smirk become a little more serious when she saw the pistol being pointed in her direction. "Go ahead. Do think I'd really care?"
"I hate being the way I am. I used to be just like you. Pure human. I didn't choose this and if I had any choice, I would kept life the way it was. I was happy. This? This is torture, so you'd just be doing me a favor. Go on."
"I dare you. In fact, if you'd like to be more accurate..." The girl stood up this time and pointed to her chest. "... shoot me here."

Ryder squeezed the handle of his Jericho so tight that his knuckles were a little paler than usual. Clenching his jaw, he muttered, "shut it Ethan," before letting out a long breath. His eyes turned red.
"If it's such a favor to die, then why do you drain the blood from innocent people in order to survive?"
((Dinner, brb))

"That's a bit stereotypical, don't you think? Is that what you think vampires do? Hmph. We're not all the same, ya know. I don't drain blood from people because I want to. It's a craving. I could live without it, but as you can see, I go a bit crazy if I don't get what I want."
"It keeps me sane. The others? Well.. they just overdo it, making all vampires look bad. Like I mentioned before, I was once just like you, so I try not to kill people. Actually, I steal from blood banks. It's the only way I'm able to spare lives. The only time people die is when they get in my way."
Andy said these last few words directly to Ryder. She suddenly let out a small, feminine gasp and clutched at her head. "You gonna shoot that thing or not?!" The smell seemed like it was getting stronger every minute. It was either shoot her now or find a way to keep her locked up.

"Fine, it's your ship," Ethan said to Ryder. Then her turned to Andy, "Thanks for your help." He walked back towards the hangar, slightly enraged by Ryder's bigotry. He sat down just inside the hatch and pulled out his Colt ACP, taking it apart tenderly piece by piece, and started cleaning it.

Rolling his options around inside his mind, Ryder bit the side of his lip lightly. Then, giving Andy one last look, he spun his pistol once and then holstered it. With a twisted smile he said, "alright Dracula, calm down, I'm not gonna shoot ya." With a more serious look on his face however, the outlaw continued, "but if you turn out to be like the vamp that killed my mother, I will kill you without a second's hesitation, no matter how cute you are." It was hard to tell when the man was being serious or not...
Disappearing into a nearby storage room, Ryder appeared moments later carrying a bottle of vodka and three shot glasses. He set the bottle down in front of Ethan's ACP and slid him a glass. Pouring the clear liquid into each miniature cup, he grabbed two and went over to hand one to Andy.
"Here, have some, it has an overwhelmingly strong scent, but it's good."

Andy was shocked. No wonder he felt like he had to kill her. A vampire had killed his mother and Andy knew how important family was. "So that's it? You're just going to let me live.. just like that?" She growled because she was frustrated, but relieved all the same. If she wasn't so stuck to the idea that killing people on without a reason was wrong, she would kill someone just so Ryder could kill her.
However, that would be too much of a sacrifice to make. Ryder was out of sight for a bit and came back with the vodka. Andrea obediently took the glass of liquid and sniffed at it. "Ahh.." The girl gave a sigh of relief. The smell was strong enough to rid the bloody stench all around.

Ethan grimaced at the shot glass. Vodka. Not exactly his favorite. Oh well, he knocked it back anyways. He set the shot glass down bottom up, and picked up the rag and cleaning rod he was using on his ACP. Ethan pulled the rag through the barrel one last time before putting it back together and sliding it back into his holster. Then he bent over and grabbed his HK 416 and started cleaning that one too. He went through all four of his guns before leaning back against the bulkhead and closing his eyes. One thing he had learned, cleans guns are guns that work.

Ryder gave Andy a funny look as she held the vodka up to her nose. "For now..." he responded after the vampire questioned him. Then, leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "but anytime you wanna spar, just let me know, I've always wanted to fight a vamp." He downed the alcohol in one gulp and set the glass down.

Ethan took a deep breath and stood up, slinging his long rifle over his back and holding the CQC rifle at the ready, he walked back to the cockpit where Ryder and Andy were still drinking. "So, where to now?" he asked.

The girl had a crucial look on her face, but said nothing in response to his challenge. Instead, her eyes followed his movements as he drank the vodka and set down the glass. Andy decided that she had taken enough whiffs of the alcohol to rid the trace of blood, so she chugged the vodka and set it down as well. Ethan entered and asked where they were headed. Andrea looked back to Ryder, waiting for a reply.
[I editted my profile. Just a heads up.]

Turning towards Ethan, Ryder gave him a shrug and responded, "I set a course to Earth, I have some business there if you wanna come along." Then, gesturing towards Andy he stated, "and when we get there, that's where you're getting off pumpkin." Picking up his cigarette off the floor, he puffed some smoke and nodded towards Ethan's guns. "Nice HK."

Earth. Great. I'm going to have to try to lay low for a while. I'm not exactly welcome there either. "Gladly. Oh, and this may be kind of hard to believe, but I actually have a name and it's not pumpkin."
"It's Andrea. Andy for short. Ethan already introduced himself." She looked over at Ethan and nodded. "It's a pleasure." Andy glanced back over to Ryder and sighed, as if regretting to ask. "And you are?"

Ethan smiled at Ryder's compliment. "I know it is. One of the best guns I've ever owned." He went over near Andy and sat down, leaning his rifle against the bulkhead within easy reach, just in case. Space was a dangerous place. Things happen quick, and you never want to be caught without your weapon. He looked at Ryder and said, "You don't exactly look like a gun person."
