Rick walked silently through the streets of Rome. The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the street in which he and his faithful companion Rafael walked. A scant breeze blew through, blowing his hair down in his face. There were few people on the streets at this time of night, which suited Rick perfectly. They always got in the way, should something happen. Rick wore his normal attire - which of this moment consisted of his Crusade armour under a long black cloak. He had never gotten used to wearing the normal mortal fashion of the times, unlike Rafael.
At the moment, Rick was exploring the city. It had changed so much since his last visit. He knew that this area was populated by both vampires and lycans, but that did not cause him much worry. He could feel the heavy weight of his sword against his side, which was presently concealed under his cloak.
Rick suddenly got the feeling that he was being watched, something which did not sit well with him.

In the shadows, another vampire, better yet, Victor, the King's sister was that vampire. Immediately she appeared by him as if the pair were strolling silently through the night in Rome. "So tell me, what are the sites of Rome, my dear?" She asked, her voice was soft and icy. Her hand held each other behind her back. "I have never been to Rome, or atleast, if I have, I do not recall it, Romania has been my home for all too long, I fear I sometimes forget to visit the outside world," she stated.

Rick turned his head slightly to see from whom the soft voice had come from. "My lady Trista" he exclaimed bowing his head with respect. Rick had only seen her in passing when he had been in Victor's council. "I did not know you were in Rome mi'lady or I would have offered my services." he said quickly, his french accent springing up once again.
"As to your question, I would recommend the sites of the former Roman empire, they were an impressive empire" Rick said with a smile, his composure returning.
Turning to his companion he said softly, "Rafael go scout our paths, I do not wish to run into any trouble tonight."

Rafael watched as Trista appeared, he knew vaguely that she was the sister of Victor. He did not hold the Vampire King in hgh regard, but he hid these thoughts well. He mirrored Rick's bow, and adding in a "Good evening mademoiselle".
Turning to Rick, he said "Yes my lord". Rafael picked up his pace, and disappeared into the shadows. He would not be too far away that he could not offer assisstance if needed.

"Ah...the Romans remind me of my brother. They were stubborn and powerful, but in the end, ignorance was to become their downfall, I don't suggest telling my brother that thought," she said and winked. "So tell me, what's it like to live here, in Rome? And where are you from? Your accent is French, not Italian."

Rick smiled as she compared the Romans to her brother. "It may not be my place to ask -- but is there some hostility towards your brother?" Rick asked curiously. In some ways he did not disagree with her opinion, but it was an opinion that could not be afforded to be known, lest the consequences be taken to hand.
"What is it like to live in Rome?" he said, repeating her question with a smile, "Well, if I lived in Rome I might possibly say that it was nice." he finished with a warm smile. "Nah, there are too many lycans here for my taste. I live in Mexico, but I am originally from France, as is my compadre" Rick said as they walked. "I have never been to Romania before" he said as he cast a look towards her, even if he would not openly say so but she was beautiful woman.

"Heh, humans think having siblings for eighty years is bad, try having one fore centuries. One that was stronger, and better, and more stubborn. Try sitting in that shadow for so long. Honestly, I am losing patience with my brother, and I have admitted this so this is no news for him," she said her arms crossed now.
"Romania is beautiful, at least for vampires it is," she smirked. "And there are few lycans, always enough for a little fun," she added slyly, "You should visit some time," she then added.

Rick laughed, "I am glad then that I have no living relatives." he said. "It must be hard to live in his shadow, and live up to the expectations which are placed on you. Although, should anything happen to your brother you would be given command of all the vampire clans." he said slowly watching for her response.
"Is not Romania the place where Dracula and his three brides live? I would one day like to visit Romania and see your home, and seeming I have all the time in the world there is a likely chance that one day I may get around to it" he said with a grin. Rick watched as a group of mortals passed by them, he tried to block out the steady beating of their hearts which echoed through his mind.

"Aye he lived there, once, a long time ago. I still remember the freedom I first felt when I killed him. He bit me, long ago and after becoming his slave for so long, I killed him, and his brides," she said nonchalantly. "So tell me Ricj, what brings you here, since you do not live here?" She asked him curiously.

"So you were turned by Dracula himself?" Rick said suprised and interested.
"I have come here for a little bit of business, and some pleasure" Rick said softly. "I was going to take a look at Rickter's clan, plus I heard that there has been a lot of werewolf activity lately, thought to have myself some fun". As they walked he watched the inhabitants of the streets. He had never felt much for the country of Italy, so he did not care much for the occasional passerbys. The reminder that he would have to feed soon, hung in the back of his mind.

"Go find someone then," she said. She hadn't read his thoughts but she saw that look, "You're hungry, I can tell," she laughed.

"Aye, it is an unfortunate part of being a vampire" Rick said sadly. He continued watching the passing people, a sadness crept through him , reminding him that by day break one of them would not be returning to their family. "Do you have any plans for the rest of the night?" he asked curiously, brushing a stray bit of hair behind his ear.

"Umm, I'm not sure," she said, "Why do you ask?" She asked him curiously as they walked side by side. As they did so though, she ran into a guy, her head near his throat, her eyes flashed red for a moment then she calmed down and caught up with Rick again.

Rick waited until she caught up again before answering her question.
"Well, I'm guessing you have nothing better to do if you are here with me, so maybe you would like to go hunting with me?" he proposed boldly, unsure how she would react. He held much respect for her as a fellow vampire, which was not related to her relatives. "We still have a few hours until day break, after which I shall be finding refuge away from the mortals. Their lives are so busy and complicated, and I do not wish to be around when they start rushing around like bees" he stated.

"They truly are only young animals," she smirked then nodded after pondering his offer, "I think I shall indeed join you Lord Rick," she smirked then turned away, looking for prospectful targets. She licked her lips as a hunger filled her drying veins. How interesting and fun this would be. Two vampires joined...at the thought, she couldn't help but smile.
