His crown lit up the way as he moved slowly
Apparently you aren't supposed to call Ascendeds bloodsuckers. Who woulda guessed? Holding your own arms up in swift apology, you attempt to soothe the bruised ego of your new houseguest - while at the same time mentally keeping stock of where you have possible weaponry stashed. You know, just in case. "Aite, Red, my bad. Y'don' see a lotta their - yer - kind here in Torchline. Can't say I've met another one." Or if you have, you didn't know.
This is a new, sulky side of the man, and if you're being honest you find it almost adorable. Especially when he flips his lips open and displays his teeth, much like a kitten would bear its fangs. "Huh." Peering closer, you raise a finger as though to poke inside his mouth before Ki interjects that this would be a very strange thing to do. Your hand darts back to your side abruptly, expression a little abashed.
"I gotta say, it makes sense. Y're pale as sea foam." A crooked half-smile settles on your lips; you feel bad for making him uncomfortable, genuinely. "Heard 'cendeds caught fire if they - you - went in the sun. Not the best fit for a place like this."
