Ha. It is my responsibility to look after him. ...or it was, when he was here. [ Shakes his head as he makes another attempt. ] Nonsense.

[ Yet he pauses on shaking arms at the sight of the human's bare skin. So tempting, to feed and to claim some other vampire's property for his own. ] ....either way risks certain death. [ His hand whips out, grabbing onto the fool's forearm with a vice-like grip; no getting away now that he'd made his choice. Starved or not, Asch had the manners to appreciate the offering by savoring the taste of his skin before drawing his lips back and sinking his fangs in along the vein. ]

[Tenses a little when the creature latches onto his arm. The realization that he just waved an arm in front of a blood thirsty creature seeming to finally sink in... but there was no turning back now. The teen gasps when he feels the fangs pierce his flesh.]

H-ha... [He swallows but makes no move to stop him even as the blood starts to pour from the wound.]

[ Even before the trickle becomes a steady flow he's quick to cover the entire wound with his mouth, letting not a single drop escape. It was clear he would need more than one or perhaps even two humans could provide, and he wasn't going to spoil things by sucking the first one dry. ]

Mmm...

[ A satisfied noise reverberates from the vampire's throat, while his other arm pulls his prey closer. ]

[The pleasant feeling started to take him over and the teen quivers before letting out a small whimper. He either doesn't care or doesn't notice the creature pulling him closer but regardless he still lets his head come to rest on the Vampire's shoulder when he starts to feel dizzy.]

Asch...

[His free hand comes up to weakly grip his shoulder.]

[ Oh, right. He would like to keep him alive. Maybe. The fresh blood is just far too satisfying and it takes all the willpower he can muster to pull away, helping to stop the bleeding with a gloved hand. ]

It may be the state I am in, but you are delectable.

[He takes a shaky breath and quietly rest against his shoulder when his wrist is released. Taking another deep breath he turns his face when the boy addresses him, watching him through lidded eyes.]

S-so I've been told...

[Would blush if he had enough blood to do so. Instead he settles for shyly turning his face away.]

Hmm. It would seem that now you require rest.

[ Here was a less than adequate place for them to stay. Should this one's other self make an appearance, he would be forced to use the human as a hostage, if not more. So with that he scoops the limp body up into his arms and pushes off to return to his lair.]

[Nods quietly at the offer of rest, still resting his head on the other’s shoulder. He makes no protest when he's picked up and simply closes his eyes, letting him do as he will. True he wasn't his Asch... but presences was still a familiar comfort in this strange new place.]

[ In almost stereotypical fashion, the place the human is brought to is dark and abandoned -- though the structural damage had happened while he was asleep. It had been a grand home at one point, the lofty spires they floated past reminiscent of those Luke might be familiar with back in England. The one he chose to reside in was partially caved in at the stairs, rendering it the perfect home, accessible only from the air. Asch touched down just inside the room and went to place his savior upon his soft, if chilly, bedding. ]

Rest well.

[It wasn't as extravagant as his Asch's manor but this Asch seemed a bit more of a scavanger than his own. The more lonely looking manor seemed fitting for him... He rested quietly in his arms as he took him to a room and sighed tiredly when his back rested against soft linen. He shivered a little at the cold from both the room and the blood loss but made no complaint.]

Tread carefully during your hunt... Try not to kill if you don't have to... [Pulls the blanket over himself and curls a bit for warmth.]

[ Luke's response to the temperature didn't go unnoticed and there was an irritated hum to go along with the clacking of his steps. It had been some time since he'd been responsible for his Luke, let alone a human; he'd forgotten what sensitive creatures they were. His thoughts were on the other's words as he gathered small scraps of wood and fabric. ]

I will do what is necessary. [ Whether or not he left a trail of death in his wake was of little concern and so the plea meant next to nothing. Yet if he allowed himself to be seen by his prey, taking their lives would mask his presence more than if he permitted them to roam free.

[Quietly watches the creature lurking about the dark room. He was much like his own Asch... only this one seemed more lonesome and calculating. Curious creature indeed.]

Brutal... [Murmurs softly and yawns. He was aware of what he's aided but he still seemed slightly less vicious than his own Asch so he's just have to hope the trail of blood wouldn't be too long.]

[ Having a large enough armful of materials, he sets about arranging them into a precise pile near where his charge lay, occasionally pausing to move a wood fragment. He didn't wish to waste energy on trying a second time, after all. ]

As are humans. [ That would have to do. He rose to his feet and stepped back before muttering an incantation that brought his makeshift bonfire to life. ]

Do you dislike humans, Vampire?

[Blinks when he starts doing something and then gasps when the pile burst into flames. Magic? This Vampire had magic?!] I didn't know your kind could do magic...

With a passion. They hunt us without mercy.

[ Glances over to the human before taking a seat on the opposite side of the fire. ] Just as your kind has a variety of skills, so do mine.

Most of my kind don't even know you exist...

[A confused look at that.] Your humans can do magic to? Only a few can do such things and that's after years of practice...

Really? Consider yourselves fortunate. Raids on our kind are commonplace.

[ Frowns, finding himself a touch disappointed that this human must not be from his own world. ] They prefer their machines to magic, but there are some capable of it.

That's terrible... Most humans just think your kind exist only in stories and myths... [sits up a little, still keeping the blanket over his shoulders.]

Though there are still a few that do know... and hunt your kind for sport or revenge... I'm still knew to this stuff myself so I don't know all the details. [Looks at the flames.]

They know magic and have machines...

We're too numerous to be thought of as only mythology. And yet I'm not surprised to hear that we happen to be mistreated where you're from as well. [ That was how humans were, after all. ]

Does that surprise you? Your world is vastly different?

Most don't become hunters until one of your kind kills a loved one of theirs. Most people think the hunters are babbling madmen.

Not sure how many of your kind is around... I've only met two... well three now that I've met you and yes... it surprises me a little... but most things seem toleave me baffled today. [Smiles faintly.]

They kill, we kill. And so it shall continue with neither side willing to give up the hatred and need for revenge.

You must be from a area on the outskirts of our territory to have met so few. [ Shakes his head. ] To be curious and confused is the nature of a child. It is how you learn.

Too right... [Sounds a little disheartened by this.]

I don't think I'm from your world at all... Is there a place called "London" in your world? [Makes a bit of a face at being called a child but has no valid argument to defend himself.]

Undoubtedly that is the case. ..."London" does sound familiar, though I know not why. Perhaps someone has mentioned it in passing. [ Turns away from the flickering light, his face twisting up in concentration. ]

How about Europe...? You don't have an accent like mine so I don't believe you're from the mother country.

Ah. Of course. From across the sea, are you? That would explain a great many things.
