Chloris was watching him do this to her hand. She was terribly uncomfortable, but she managed not to pull away or anything. She looked back at her feet, drawing on her inner relaxation. Possum stood up and hopped on Chloris, chittering hungrily.
"What do you mean that when your life is exciting it's not fun?" Chloris asked. "An exciting life has always seemed... exciting to me." She knew that there was a bad kind of exciting and a good kind of exciting. The bad kind was probably what followed this vampire around. But then again, could a good kind of exciting ever follow a dead person around?

It's just not always teh right kind of exciting. he said as they turned into the small market. He reluctantly released her hand. Go find you and Possum some food. I have someone i need to speak to.

She stood there for a moment, eyes wide at being abandoned. Chloris huffed indignantly and walked through the aisles. "Honestly. I'm the one that always pull away? At least I don't leave him surrounded by strangers and food!" She muttered bitterly, pulling out a bag of ravioli.
She walked to the pets section, looking for at least a good cat food for Possum. Unable to have any with meat in it, she resolved to just share her ravioli with him. "But then again, I guess strangers and food are the same thing to a vampire," she murmured, walking up to the cash register. She pulled out her wallet and paid for the food.

Five minutes later Kolton wlked up to her looking like someone had just ticked him off. He looekd at the bag. I was going to pay for that. he protested. Are you sure that's all you want? he asked her curiously.

Noticing his facial expression, it took Chloris a few moments to register that he was talking to her. "Yeah. Ravioli is pretty filling." She shrugged, petting Possum behind the ear. It occurred to her that she could just part ways with him and walk to the Academy by herself. It wouldn't such a long walk.
"Who pissed you off?" She asked, perhaps a little too bluntly. Possum jumped over to his shoulder, nuzzling his cheek.

What? oh... don't worry about it. he said taking her hand. Let's get back to my apartment. he said and led her back outside. He paused though and looked at her. I'm not mad at you. Just in case you were thinking that. I just didn;t egt the answers I was looking for is all. he said squeezing her hand lightly.

Chloris took her hand back from Kolton, and crossed her arms. "What answers were you looking for?" The ferret looked from the vampire to his owner with his head tilted.
If he wouldn't tell her after this, she could always just pull out the guilt trip card. After all, Chloris was a girl. Girls get their way one way or another.

KOlton eyed her. He shouldn't drag her into his personal issues. Chloris. I don't want to put you in danger. Just please. Let's get back to my place. he glanced around and looked back to her. COme on.

Fine. Guilt trip it was. She had honestly tried to give him the easy way out. She was, after all, a giver. Danger? What kind of danger was he talking about? How dangerous could a convenience store be?
She took several steps back, wiping her eyes. "Did you even care about whether I got fed?" Her voice cracked, due to the fake lump in her throat. "Or did you just want to talk to other people?"
Most people would not fall for her performance. After all, she wasn't the best of actresses. She figured she might have a chance since the vampire seemed to have a soft spot for her. She turned on her heel and slowly started walking in the opposite direction.
Possum still sat on Kolt's shoulder and sent a dubious look to the vampire.

Kolton looked to the ferret with a completely confused look. He closed his eyes. Clhoris. Sweetheart come back. Wait! he called and ran afterher. He gently grabbed her hand and turned her to face him. Hey... what are you talking about. Of course I care if you're fed. I was just trying to take care of something while I was here. he gazed down at her, his brown eyes searching her eyes.

She tried to be serious. She tried to keep guilting him into telling her. However, seeing the fact he honestly believed her, she giggled. Then she laughed. She put her head against his chest. "Weirdo. I just want you to tell me the questions you wanted to know."
She took a step back and raised her eyebrow at him. "And I've told you not to call me sweetheart." She crossed her arms, a small pout on her lips. "Plus you have Possum, so I wasn't really going to leave you. Duh."

The ferret would have foolowed you if you'd gotten too far away. he said with a crroked sexy smile. The questions had to do with teh red rose thing i mentioned. I'm trying to find out where their base is so i can check things out for myself. See for sure what's going on. my sources just are being as productive as i expected. he sighed and ran a hand through his tousled hair.

She took his hand again. "I'll help you if I can." Chloris volunteered. She beamed up at him. "Achilleus and Garner - the next Holmes and Watson. Achilleus and Garner.. kind of sounds like a law firm. Or a furniture store," she mused. "Anyway. I can be useful."
How? She closed her eyes, trying to figure out how she could be useful against evil botanists. "I can be all.. shapeshifty.. and invisible.. and intangible..." She trailed off. "Or I could send you good vibes while hiding."

he chuckled and pulled her closer to him as they stood on teh sidewalk. Thanks for the offer... but I don't want you getting into the middle of this. They seem to be targeting the gifted. Just... promise me you'll try out of harms way. he whispered, one hand cupping her cheek, teh other squeezing her hand lightly.

Chloris backed off, uncomfortable being in such close proximity. "Yeah. Sure, no following evil botanists. I think I can manage." She took a few more steps backwards. She held out her hands for Possum to jump in. Once he had, she looked at Kolton sheepishly.
"I think I can make it back to the Academy in time. No point in me being trapped at your house, right?" She asked, trying to make her tone as light it could. "I'll see you around later though, won't I?"
