As she looked up at him she couldn’t help but notice the way that his face seemed to light up when he felt the mood lighten, she couldn’t help the thought that perhaps he didn’t often have all that much to smile about, much like herself at times. She laughed gently in response to his words, happy that she wasn’t the one feeling awkward for once “I’d like to hope that there won’t be a repeat of tonight, with any luck, next time we’ll meet on better terms” she commented tilting her head just a little, somehow, she just knew this wouldn’t be the last time, especially if her application for ambassador was accepted.</p>
<p>Sariah smiled softly a gentle nod of her head acknowledging his praise for her wording and she shrugged her shoulders gently “Call me old school but my parents always taught me to focus on the positive instead of the negative” she laughed gently before continuing “I mean, yes, I did almost get eaten by a vampire, but then I also got to meet you” she gave a sincere smile as she looked up at him once more, taking his gratitude for face value “You’re welcome” she answered as she came to a stop just outside the building. She would never have left someone in need behind unless she had no choice, Sariah was a very moralled person when it came to the wellbeing of others, she liked to think she did her part to help other.</p>
<p>Sariah opened her mouth to protest when he offered his blazer out to her but she quickly quietened realizing that she had in fact left her jacket in the hall and she really didn’t feel like going back inside to get it. The material felt warm against her skin as she finally felt a little of the chill the night had to offer. She smiled “Thanks, I’ll make sure it finds its way back to you” she spoke with a gentle smile as she moved closer to the cab which had come to a stop and climbed inside, smoothing down her dress as she settled herself in the back.</p>
<p>She hadn’t been paying much attention to his conversation with the driver however she caught parts of the words and she smiled gently to herself, her slightly flushed cheeks hidden well by her hair which was falling around her face as she leaned forward. However, when he came around the cab to collect his wallet she snapped her fingers and laughed, a playful expression on her face as she met his gaze “Darn, almost got away with it” she chuckled gently before settling herself into the seat, feeling almost as though the blazer was like a blanket around her.</p>

She quickly told the driver where she was headed and the cab pulled away from the venue. She took a moment to wave in his direction before she turned her head to the front window, watching the cars as they all sped by. The night had been ‘interesting’ in many different senses and not all of them had been bad. </p> It was obvious the two were g…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-04-25:6610746:Comment:2740522017-04-25T02:52:43.687Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

The way the city ran was still something new to him and it was far different from any city in existence. Human laws were still expected to be upheld by all species but there were certain laws within each faction as well that if broken the Ambassador did punish the one who had broken them in the first place. To some it seemed like the supernaturals thought themselves above others in this way but in truth he just didn’t want anyone to get caught in the cross fire when it came to species issues.</p>
<p>“I rather enjoyed hearing you name coming from your own lips than those of my employees anyway.” There was a curve to his lips as he smiled at her before beginning to chuckle at her words, “Yes well I was stalking you purely for the safety for yourself and others. Though as I say that out loud it doesn’t really make it sound any better. From this point on I vow to end my stalking ways, until my next job.” He joked trying to keep the mood light since the evening in and of itself had been a rather heavy one.</p>
<p>Orion listened to what Sariah had to say, she was right in many ways and difference in how each species dealt with those who broke the law did in fact cause an even larger rift between them. Humans could, with the things Sariah seemed to be able to invent, contain supernaturals who broke the law but it would add an even bigger target on their back which was not something Orion wanted to see.</p>
<p>The Kitsune found himself giving Sariah a supportive smile as she quickly responded to his inquiry, why would one want to stay after that? There was no shame in wanting to leave since she probably needed to be away from here to compose herself and finally be able to relax. “That was kind of you to say interesting since I’m sure that’s not the original word you wanted to use to describe it. It’s been a roller coaster ride I’d like to get off of as well.” There seemed to have been more downward slopes than upward ones but the two of them had made it through, “Thank you for sticking through it with me. If you thought I was panicking with you there can you imagine how it would have been if I was forced to try and figure it out on me own?” She quickly began heading towards the door and he rushed to keep up with her.</p>
<p><a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/5f219184944d1adf3c145e93109cee9e/tumblr_n17md7MbRz1rtzx8bo2_r2_500.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/5f219184944d1adf3c145e93109cee9e/tumblr_n17md7MbRz1rtzx8bo2_r2_500.gif?width=200" width="200" class="align-right"/></a>The chill of the evening air hit him as soon as the door opened but it was something he was used to. Sariah on the other hand didn’t shiver and seemed unaffected by it but she was probably still running on adrenaline. “Here, I know you don’t think you need it now but you might before you get home.” He shrugged off his blazer and placed it over her shoulders before easily hailing a cab to take Sariah home. Opening the back door for her he moved around to speak to the driver. “Make sure she gets home safe, she’s had an…exciting night,” In a lower tone, “Say until she gets safely inside.” He moved to grab his wallet from his blazer before realizing he had handed it to Sariah without thinking.</p>
<p>Moving back around the cab he reached into pocket of his blazer and grabbed his wallet, “That was the only thing I left in there.” He assured her before moving back to the driver and pulling some bills from his wallet which should be enough for any fare along with any extra to keep the driver happy. After handing over the bills he moved to close the door. “Good night Sariah, may the rest of your evening be far less eventful than the start of it.”</p> Sariah had always been uncomf…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-04-16:6610746:Comment:2728782017-04-16T19:00:24.492Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria
<p>Sariah had always been uncomfortable with the supernatural and their wars, they weren't like human wars which tended to be over land or justice. Supernatural wars ran so much deeper, the segregation between species almost visible to the eye once you knew how to pick out the signs.

<p>Sariah had always been uncomfortable with the supernatural and their wars, they weren't like human wars which tended to be over land or justice. Supernatural wars ran so much deeper, the segregation between species almost visible to the eye once you knew how to pick out the signs. "That statement has more truth to it that I'd like to admit" she answered smoothly with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, it was true that to live in this world you either had to be supernatural or smart, everyone else tended to be easy pickings.</p>
<p><a href="http://68.media.tumblr.com/cba1047c81cbfa3e5e9fd26a84b81c42/tumblr_inline_nl2gwlfg421rifr4k.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://68.media.tumblr.com/cba1047c81cbfa3e5e9fd26a84b81c42/tumblr_inline_nl2gwlfg421rifr4k.gif" class="align-left" width="309" height="142"/></a>Hearing Orion's words about her identity she laughed gently, of course he would know her name, it would make sense, she knew how security software worked, she had hacked into it more times than she should probably speak out loud. "Of course" she answered, a chuckle escaping her lips for a moment "I just find it rude not to tell someone your name, even if they already stalked you for looking suspicious" she spoke the words without really thinking them through and then laughed gently "Not that I'm calling you a stalker or anything, you were just doing your job" she added as she tilted her chin up a little to catch his reaction.</p>
<p>Sariah nodded a little thinking about how the city did work, she couldn't say that she saw the benefit in the faction system, all it really did was segregate species from one another, make them separate entities with separate rules, in her opinion, with a cell capable of holding any supernatural creature, there would be no need for separate laws for different factions, everyone could be treated equally, regardless of their species. "Murder solves nothing when there is no trial" she answered candidly, she hated the number of deaths that could be tallied to supernatural indifferences, she disagreed with the idea of factions blaming one another for things without any proof nor giving the person a chance to prove themselves innocent.</p>
<p>Sariah had been taught from a young age that if you were going to say something, you had better mean it, it hadn't seemed to sway her tendency to over talk but it had taught her to hold back before saying something she may regret. When Sariah gave an apology, she meant it. After watching the therian and vampire stand off against one another her eyes followed the vampire as he skulked away into the night, she sincerely hoped she never saw him again, people like that were the reason her past was such a sad story.</p>
<p>Hearing his words about wanting to stay she abruptly answered his words with a shake of her head and the word "No" she had experienced just about her limit when it came to vampires and talking to people she didn't know, she was quite looking forward to a date with a glass of wine when she got home. "As much as this has been a..." she searched for a word that wasn't too negative "interesting evening, I don't think I even want to be in this corner of the city for at least a few days" she admitted and smiled gently in his direction "A cab would be nice" she answered before ducking her head and heading towards the exit door.</p>

As soon as she moved outside the building she released a breath reminding herself that she had done well to keep herself together through everything. Her eyes scanned the streets of Evermore, watching as cars sped along the streets, oblivious to everyone else in the world. Perhaps the evening hadn't been all bad, she had after all, met someone who seemed to be genuine in a city of pretenders, that was a rare find.</p> Orion had grown up with the k…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-04-10:6610746:Comment:2720962017-04-10T23:21:34.295Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

That was something he instilled in his own children because life was harsh and he knew it was never kind especially not to their kind and their family. That however had been life in Nevada, not life here in Evermore. “I think she gets closer to that realization every day.” That and losing her mother had been a hard time to them all and Orion was just trying to give her time.</p>
<p>People who lived in war torn countries probably understood what Orion had grown up with, it wasn’t a war that was easily seen by those outside of it and thankfully left the human population mostly untouched. The Valkyrie family however had been in the middle of the war for a long time and he was glad to at least for the time being be a civilian. Even outside of a war torn state he still had no love for vampires since many still acted on instinct alone and with no regard for the lives they affected or touched. “That’s how most animals in the wild stay alive and we aren’t too far from them. We learn, adapt and evolve in order to survive in this world, we have to.”</p>
<p>Orion wasn’t the most vocal or recognizable of the ambassadors in the city nor had he been in his station for as long as most. For a human it was rare for them to know who he was so Sariah was far more interesting to be sure. As Sariah introduced herself he knew it had been rude not to introduce himself ahead of time but he had been a bit distracted, “I’m sorry, I didn’t ask because I already knew your name. Part of being security we run checks on people who act fishy and you were acting odd when you first entered the building. That’s no excuse for not introducing myself though.” He wasn’t one for introductions to be honest and often missed them if possible. “It will happy with a lot of things to know how things work within the city, it’s something I still struggle with on occasion.” Which was true since this was a whole new way of life for him.</p>
<p>It was very obvious that Sariah didn’t approve of the factions taking care of their own problems and he could understand that. It was hard for a supernatural to be put on trial for things when you were trying to keep the supernatural word from the prying eyes of others. People often lashed out against the things that scared them supernatural species specifically. Many supernaturals had been killed in witch hunt type situations because like Sariah they believed the species weren’t policed. The truth of the matter was Orion was harder on his species than the police force ever could be since he knew how one bad apple could spoil the bunch. “Murder isn’t the answer for everything. And there are other forms of punishment.” He could tell that Sariah didn’t like the answer given but there was no right answer in these sorts of situations.</p>
<p>Sincerity seemed to be a rarity in the world today especially when it came to apologies but Sariah was sincere in her words and he knew that she hadn’t meant to rob him of one of his senses. Which was why he had made sure Sariah stayed put for her own protection, he wasn’t one to risk the lives of others. Despite his focus on the vampire in the hall he knew Sariah wasn’t exactly staying put but she wasn’t placing herself in unnecessary danger as well. The vampire was on the young side and probably still fighting his primal urges and learning control but Orion was putting a very quick end to that.</p>

No one should live in fear or spend their life looking over their shoulder and he was making sure the events of the evening didn’t follow Sariah in such a way. The vampire gave a short apologize and quickly bailed realizing the Therian Ambassador was not a man to be pushed especially on this matter. The treatment of women was something he had a very strong feeling about and that was something he wasn’t shy about showing. Hearing Sariah’s voice he glanced in her direction and took a few steady breaths to calm himself. “I don’t believe you could ever get on my bad side the way he has this evening.” A soft chuckle left him, “You were only on my bad side for a short time, you made a mistake and you fixed it that’s all anyone can ask.” He watched her eyes moving towards the exit, “You’re welcome Sariah Holloway, let me get you cab. Unless you’d like to stay.” In the same turn he wanted to leave as well but that wasn’t an option until the event was over.</p> Sariah laughed softly and sho…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-03-19:6610746:Comment:2687732017-03-19T21:40:55.907Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

Sariah's parents had been supportive but she had never really been close with them the way she may have wanted to, it wasn't for lack of trying, it was simply because their lives had always been far too busy to give her too much attention, she hadn't really minded, being a naturally closed off person from a young age meant her world kept spinning regardless of whether people were in it or not. "Well she may not realize it now, but one day she will" she nodded slightly making a mental note to call her parents at the weekend, she was way overdue a catchup.</p>
<p>Inside of her mind, Sariah imagined what it must have been like to live in a constant war with vampires, she didn't like the images that came to mind and a physical shudder rolled across her body at the thought, she wasn't a fan of any supernatural species members but vampires just make her skin crawl, their arrogance and their lifestyle were the exact reason she did everything she could to avoid them and protect herself from them. Her gaze however softened as she heard his words about becoming overconfident, Sariah was by no means confident when it came to people, she was good at putting a brave face for the sake of her own safety but it just as easily faded away the moment she stepped away. "Sometimes confidence, or the illusion of it, is the only thing that keeps people alive" she assured him, she could tell easily that something bad had happened back then but it wasn't her place to ask what it was.</p>
<p>As Sariah finally put name to face she nodded gently, she still felt pretty stupid for not realizing off the bat, hell she had probably had a hand in leaked news stories about him in the past but the craziness of the situation had taken over and she wasn't sure in that moment if she would have even recognized her own mother in the room. Despite the fact he hadn't asked or seemed interested in knowing her name she followed up his introduction with her own, feeling it rude not to. "My name's Sariah" she said slowly as she met his eyes for a short moment "Sariah Holloway" she repeated "Though my surname means pretty much nothing, it's about as common as common gets" she followed up before laughing softly and falling quiet. "Well I've found knowing everything about the inner workings of the faction system in the city helps me get ahead of the game" she answered smoothly choosing not to speak about the organization, she really didn't feel up to explaining to Violet how she ended up blinding the Therian ambassador.</p>
<p>Sariah couldn't help the scoff that left her mouth in response to his thoughts about the dealings with the supernatural that broke the law, in her mind nothing went punished in the city in the right way, murderers were allowed to walk the streets simply because they ranked high in the faction standings and justice that came to others was hardly a solution to the problem that the city saw. "If you count everyone killing each other in cold blood as justice for more murders I suppose" she commented with a wave of her hand, it bothered her no end how the supernatural saw death as the only way to solve their problems, they were quick to resort to vengeance. </p>
<p>Sariah's apology was sincere however, whatever her views on the supernatural she didn't want to cause harm to anyone who hadn't done harm to her, she believed people were defined by their actions and Orion hadn't let her down with his actions. Sariah was about to move to turn on the lights when she came to a stop as she heard Orion's voice once more, she hadn't heard anything herself but she knew that a Therian's sense of hearing wasn't something you disputed. Despite his words she found herself nearing the door where the light was pouring into the room as she watched the vampire throwing his weight in punches. Despite the vampire being clearly younger than the therian, Orion easily overpowered the man. As he spoke she felt the hairs on her skin raise a little, hearing the commanding tone to his voice as he insisted the vampire leave.</p>
<p><a href="http://68.media.tumblr.com/4a3c83eaaa17616be0f3b6625ee30bcb/tumblr_inline_nzlyi6Y4n61rifr4k_500.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://68.media.tumblr.com/4a3c83eaaa17616be0f3b6625ee30bcb/tumblr_inline_nzlyi6Y4n61rifr4k_500.gif" class="align-right" width="262" height="109"/></a>Sariah had never really had anyone to protect her in her life, her parents were absent, her best friend died when she was young and she never really made friends again, not the kind whom would be there when the worst happened anyway. She had quickly learned to get by you needed to be able to protect yourself. Stepping out into the hallway she blinked a few times adjusting to the light as she tried to think of something to say. For once however, words escaped her as she stared in somewhat of a daze. After a moment she shook her head a little "Remind me to never get on your bad side..." she commented before she widened her eyes a little "Well any more than I already am" she added turned her eyes on the exit of the room, part of her wanted to run for it like a child afraid of a monster under their bed. Instead she turned her eyes on the Kitsune for a moment "Thank you" she said softly holding his gaze for a moment "I wish I could say I could have gotten out of here on my own but" she nodded a little "It'd be a lie".</p> A rumbling chuckle left him,…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-03-14:6610746:Comment:2681642017-03-14T20:50:54.511Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

Blood was thicker than water and the Valkyrie family wasn’t as strong or as large as it had once been and he wouldn’t loss anyone else.</p>
<p>There was a simple shrug to his shoulders since she was right there had to be a balance which was what kept a person alive. Sariah would have to learn to be a little more careful since if the vampire had been well liked they likely wouldn’t be in a closest right now but near death. Granted most were intelligent enough not to attack an Ambassador but Sariah wasn’t an Ambassador, just a human with a large amount of courage and a little bit of insanity. Orion was all for going against the odd but the odd Sariah had been facing tonight were not in her favor, not in the least. In Evermore City there were checks and balances which didn’t exist in Nevada, the vampires there didn’t recognize a King because the King was not present. In Evermore they had to answer to more than just their King since the Peace Treaty was in place. “Responsibility wasn’t the issue, we became over confident and outnumbered. Kind of leads back to the stupidity you spoke of.” It had led to a thinning of his family and that was a business they had to get out of.</p>
<p>Orion could hear the recognition in Sariah’s voice as she spoke his surname aloud. Am amused smirk spread across his lips as she put it together. “Orion Valkyrie, one in the same.” Orion could hear the increase in her heartrate as it seemed to set in that she had blinded the Therian Ambassador. The kitsune didn’t take it personality since it had walked into a questionable situation. “Well I wasn’t wearing a name tag. Though most wouldn’t find in recognition in my name or my states.” Which was how he knew that even though she was human, she was something else.</p>
<p>Sariah had a very good point, deaths were a rarity in Evermore City these days but when they did happen they were covered up and those who were part of the act were dealt with accordingly. “All the better to not cause a panic I guess.” It was much like being part of a rich family who could pay to make your darker deeds disappear. Another story would take over for the day and most wouldn’t know what had occurred. “Just because it get pushed off of the radar of most doesn’t mean the issue doesn’t get dealt with.” He knew that better than most. There were rules and none of the Ambassadors allowed murder to go without punishment nor using their abilities to hurt other. “Social endeavors have never been my strong suit and as you can tell, I’m not a people person.”</p>
<p>For someone who wasn’t sure of the effects of her serum she was sure on the procedure to reverse it and for that he was grateful. Orion was sure she was just taking a chance and since she seemed the sort to experiment he was glad her hypothesis in this situation was bearing fruit. As the colors played across his site he waved off Sariah’s apology. “You were just protecting yourself, you thought I was someone else, or something else in this case.” Clarity finally began to return to his vision as his eyes focused around the room. “I honestly think that’s the first time I’ve heard that in a long time.” Most just saw him as strong, confident and assumed that as an alpha he was arrogant and egotistic which was not the case.</p>

Stay in here.” He tone was firm as moved past Sariah and opened the door. The light momentarily burned his retinas as a fist slammed into his face. An annoyed snarl left his lips as he closed his eyes focusing on his other senses. Ducking the next blow his own fist slammed into the stomach of the vampire before he rolled behind the man and grabbed his arm twisting it behind his back and slamming him against the wall before slowly opening his eyes again the pain and bright blinding subsided. “Do you know who I am?” His voice snarled into the vampire’s ear, “I’m Orion Valkyrie and you will leave the nice woman be. You deserved what you got, well you deserved more so you will forget about this because she’s under the protection of the Therians and I don’t think your King would appreciate it.” The vampire nodded his arrogance disappearing as he realized the position he was in. "Now leave." He growled out. </p> Sariah wasn't exactly comfort…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-03-11:6610746:Comment:2677632017-03-11T23:05:56.754Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

As she listened to him speak she nodded her head in a agreement a small smile crossing her lips, she respected someone who was protective of others, mostly because she had never really had anyone to protect her, her parents never really noticed when she was hurting and the people she let in only ever let her down, it was exhausting and every time she wanted to believe in someone they gave her a reason to regret it. "Sounds like your daughter is lucky to have someone like you watching out for her" she commented as she bit gently on her lip.</p>
<p>"Or sometimes stupidity is just simply someone's downfall" she chimed into his words shaking her head a little, she didn't regret spraying the vampire with the serum, she hoped it hurt, Sariah had gotten past her extreme fears over time but as the vampire's hands had touched her she had felt a small rush of the panic she had back then, though this time she didn't want to stay silent, this time she had to fight and prove that she wasn't going to let anyone take advantage of her again. As he spoke about his family the name echoed in her head, it was familiar, she kept quiet while he spoke, trying to understand the story he was telling her. She remained silent for a few moments after he finished, considering what could have happened to get 'out of hand' when you were playing a game of judge, jury and executioner, of course she knew someone had to keep the vampires in line, because without someone doing so, they were free to kill everyone and anyone they wanted to. "It uh.." she trailed off trying to find words to pin what she was thinking "Sounds like an awful lot of responsibility for one family".</p>
<p>After a small moment she tilted her head up towards him as the name he had spoken finally fitted to her memory and a small gasp left her lips "Valkyrie..." she spoke softly "As in the therianthrope ambassador of the city Valkyrie?" she asked her eyes widening a little in panic, her heart beating just a little faster in her chest, she hadn't realized quite how unlucky she could have been when it came to random strangers to wound. "God I am supposed to know everything when it comes to the ins and outs of this city and I couldn't even recognize an ambassador's face" she was glad he couldn't see in that moment as her cheeks were flushed in embarrassment from her mistake.</p>
<p>She was glad when the conversation drifted away from the topic, her senses returning back to her a little as she focused on the conversation at hand. "To be honest, in Evermore City, I'm fairly sure there would be a team ready to cover it up, if there was any deaths" she spoke it in a slightly humorous tone but it echoed real thoughts in her mind about the lawless supernatural of the City, she saw them get away with far more than the average human did, she had been tasked with burying several stories before they got to the media in the names of keeping the supernatural City and like the loyal person she was, she did so without a word each and every time. As he spoke again however she laughed gently shrugging her shoulders "I never did do very well with people in general" she echoed his statement and laughed "If it wasn't blatantly obvious already" she added noting how she had been blabbering like an idiot for the most part of their time together.</p>
<p>As she was working on restoring his sight, her eyes remained focused on Orion, searching his gaze for clues of what was going on, she wasn't a doctor by any means so she didn't really know what to look for, in general she only every worked with tech which was easy to gauge, with technology, the answer was either yes or no, there was nothing in-between. "Probably best to do that" she answered him shaking her head a little, she had been fairly confident in her methods, she had studied the supernatural for long enough to be able to make stable judgements on how their bodies reacted to different things, it was just very different in theory than it was for real. Once he confirmed he could see red she slowly trailed the colors back through the spectrum from orange back to purple until his vision began to improve.</p>

<p>Orion could tell that Sariah was hesitant to help him though she wanted to make things right. She was well versed in the world of supernaturals and held an obvious dislike for vampires and that was something Orion could easily understand. She wasn’t your average human in so many ways, she either worked for the human faction or she just happened to be like Bruce Wayne with enough money and time to experiment and study the supernatural. The Bruce Wayne analogy seemed pretty unlikely so he money was one being part of the human faction’s research team of sorts but since coming to the city hadn’t done much research on the other factions and that would have to change and fast.</p>
<p><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3f/b3/68/3fb368ed36ba578e7056b8cf3c34754b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3f/b3/68/3fb368ed36ba578e7056b8cf3c34754b.jpg?width=215" width="215" class="align-left"/></a>The bitter aroma of fear and worry left her the more time they seemed to be spending together and Orion was grateful for that. Sure it meant that the scent no longer assaulted his nostrils but he didn’t want her to feel that way, no one ever should. Putting your faith in a total stranger was completely insane but he already had no choice but to trust in her so he was hoping she would offer him the same respect. “If more people shared my morals then I wouldn’t have much to offset my commanding and mildly aggressive aura.” There was joking tone to his voice but much like Sariah he wished there were more who believed that way, “Therians have always been protective of their pack and of women, not because they believe them to be a weaker gender but because we hold them in high regard. If anyone laid a hand on my daughter the way that vampire touched you he wouldn’t be leaving this building.” It was a simple fact, when it came to his pack and especially to his family he was a very dangerous adversary. A small chuckle left him, “Sometimes the bravest of actions requires a moment of stupidity to give you the courage.”</p>
<p>The atmosphere changed in the small closest, he could feel it like a cold winter wind kicking in. The scent of Sariah’s emotions changing with her mood but he couldn’t pin point exactly what it was that he smelled. It would be best if he stopped talking, that he was sure about since he didn’t often talk about matters such as these with strangers but at the moment there was nothing else to do and silence was causing the onset of insanity. For some reason Orion found the need to somewhat explain what he meant though he knew it was a dangerous chance to take. “The Valkyrie family, my family was charged with hunting down and killing vampires who posed a threat to humanity. It’s something my bloodline has taken very serious for a very long time,” It was going to be a rather short story since there was much he didn’t want to tell, “Recently things got…out of hand and now I’m a hunter in a city of peace, this job is about the only thing which keeps me sane.” He didn’t know why but he didn’t want her to think he enjoyed killing or did it for fun, it had just been a part of his life for so long he became desensitized to it.</p>
<p>The humor and laughter was evident in Sariah’s voice and it caused a small smile to curve his lips, “I’d rather like to keep the death toll at zero. Apparently they start docking your pay when people start dying and don’t refer people to you, I can’t imagine why.” As Sariah spoke of the darkest of deeds he couldn’t help but shake his head, “We do both seem to be the unscrupulous sort and what better place to conduct business away from prying eyes?” He imagined if they were out in the open people would be giving them rather strange looks as Sariah worked on resorting his sight.</p>
<p>The alpha eyes were something even his children shied away from revealing, it didn’t scare them but it quickly silenced any argument and restored peace to the household but he didn’t like to use them in such a way. It was rare he allowed the luminescent green to bleed through and tint his normally clear blue gaze. Orion had often wondered why green, Lycanthropes alpha’s eyes held a red glow and Ailuranthropes held a pale green opposed to the vivid and bright green of the Kitsune. Green was a symbol of balance and growth, something a pack needed in order to survive, it also represented safety and for some reason that had always been was stood out in his mind. None of this was anything he felt like voicing, well aware of how it would sound.</p>
<p><a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mag77dlSax1ql2hpbo1_250.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mag77dlSax1ql2hpbo1_250.gif?width=215" width="215" class="align-right"/></a>Orion didn't have to see the expression upon Sariah's face to sense her relief due to the small noise which left her. That at least as a positive which was good since their night so far was a bit of a mess. "I'm going to pretend that you didn't make it sound like a miracle." Though in all honesty he was pretty sure that it was as close to a miracle as he was going to get in his lifetime. As instructed he continued to stare straight ahead, he could see light now and it was slowly turning from a grey to a subtle pink hue the progression of color slow before it finally appeared as the same red children were shown flash cards of to learn their colors. He knew he should but he tried to get his eyes to focus passed the phone screen but the strain caused a dull ache to start in his head. Focusing he thought about his human eyes and toned down his alpha and authoritative nature feeling the sharpness of his gaze blurring slightly as his eyes returned to normal human vision.</p>
<p>"There's definite progress and I promise not to literally see red, I'm less than cuddly right now but I have no intention of becoming a bull in a china shop." Blinking slowly a few times he tried to allow his eyes to adjust since even with his very limited sight at the moment it was taking time to get use to after complete darkness.</p> For most of her life, Sariah…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-03-06:6610746:Comment:2671722017-03-06T16:32:09.745Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

She hadn’t been able to understand what happened to Katie back then but as she grew older she focused herself on study into the supernatural, she knew everything there was to know about the supernatural, she probably could have written a book about them if she wanted to. It was only after her final year on college that she finally found the strength to fight back, her research into the supernatural went beyond your generally curious person even before the organisation had recruited her, Sariah didn’t intend on being a victim again if she could help it.</p>
<p>The blonde hadn’t seen much positive when it came to the supernatural, through her years she had come to learn that they all would eventually lie to her or give her some reason not to trust them. She however got a strange sense of reliability from the man, she didn’t even know his name and yet somehow, she believed him when he said that he would protect her. Shaking the thought from her head she softened her gaze at his words, her experience with people in the world hadn’t been an easy ride, everyone let her down eventually, after a while she had given up putting her faith in people entirely, she knew things only moved forward when she made it so. “If more people shared your morals the world would be a far better place” she was glad he wasn’t able to see the flash of emotion in her eyes as she said the words. Upon his words about bravery she laughed gently with a roll of her shoulders “There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity I’ve found” she spoke with a hint of amusement in her tone “Sometimes my mind goes into overdrive” she tried to excuse herself, though she knew she couldn’t defend this as a good decision.</p>
<p>Realizing that he probably cared little for her excuses for her actions she smiled gently, taking the compliment for face value “Thank you” she answered his words once more with a small nod of her head. She however went silent as he spoke of vampires once more, she hadn’t thought the hatred between therians and vampires ran so deep, she knew she wouldn’t want to get into the middle of something like that, Sariah wasn’t much for confrontation. She knew that killing was a normal thing for the supernatural, they all played by their own rules, left little regard for laws or respect but it was still hard to swallow the idea that he had killed people, even if they were bloodsucking monsters, not that she would judge without knowing the circumstances, Sariah knew all too well the evil there was in the world.</p>
<p>Sariah allowed a small smile to cross her lips as she tried to shake her embarrassment for forgetting he was working security at the event, truth was that the blonde wasn’t exactly the best at remembering details when it came to people, mostly because she had stopped trying to impress people a long time ago. “Well you must be doing something right, no one’s dead yet” she responded allowing a small laugh to leave her lips before she followed up her words “But closets are for sure where the darkest deeds take place, or in this case, quite literally darkness” she babbled a little awkwardly as she started work on fixing that exact problem.</p>
<p>As Sariah watched him, holding the UV light as steadily as she could in front of his eyes, her gaze trailed over his hands and neck for a moment, noting that there were several nicks and scars over his skin, she could tell that he had been through a lot just by looking at them and yet somehow, he seemed to own it, they served to make him look powerful and striking. Sariah laughed softly in response to his words about alpha eyes, she supposed to therians they were very intimidating, a constant reminder of who was in charge. “Green always was one of my favourite colours” she commented without thinking it through allowing the smile to creep across her cheeks.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://68.media.tumblr.com/92a133eda7e2fccc0bfef3a4a54ee3c5/tumblr_inline_nl2i9zzO2c1rifr4k.gif"><img class="align-right" src="http://68.media.tumblr.com/92a133eda7e2fccc0bfef3a4a54ee3c5/tumblr_inline_nl2i9zzO2c1rifr4k.gif" height="159" width="178"/></a>As he opened his eyes revealing a part of his sight back she nodded gently a small gasp of relief involuntarily escaping from her lips, at least she wouldn’t have to live with permanently blinding someone. “God I am so glad that worked” she spoke bluntly in her relief before pressing her lips together. Her eyes met his for just a moment to see if she could catch any recognition in them, she suspected he could see very little however. “Okay, now to reintroduce colour” she spoke softly before she pulled the phone away from him turning off the light. She pulled up a shade of red on her screen and turned it around to face him. “Red is the easiest colour for the eyes to perceive, keep your focus on the phone until you can see red” she nodded her head a little before following up “Not literally seeing red though, I’d rather not be locked in a dark room with an angry alpha” she confessed with a gentle and slightly awkward laugh.</p> Orion could smell Sariah’s di…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2017-03-05:6610746:Comment:2669682017-03-05T23:58:59.989Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

Most predators would revel in the scent of fear from their prey or any creature really but Orion wasn’t the sort. Especially not since humans weren’t prey, they weren’t lesser beings and they shouldn’t live in fear or with a prey mentality. “I can imagine it would dangerous for everyone around if I were to loss two senses at once. If you think I was jumping to conclusions before it would nothing compared to losing my sight and hearing.” Therians relied on those two senses the most and being without both would cause him to lash out should anyone come near him. The inability to see or hear someone coming was a terrifying thought.</p>
<p>His tone of voice was beginning to soft sensing she was already scared enough and on edge given their currently placement and situation. Vampires weren’t known for just ignoring what they saw as disrespect or insult and Sariah and definitely given that vampire a massive blow to the ego. A man with wounded pride was dangerous, a vampire in the same position was deadly. Their best hope at this point was Orion regaining his sight first. “I would very much appreciate leaving here tonight with all the senses I entered with.” There was a big of sarcasm lacing his tone which couldn’t be helped. The confidence in her tone was a complete one-eighty from shortly before but he was being less of an ass now as well which probably helped the situation and helped her to think a little more clearly.</p>
<p>The Kitsune has no idea what Sariah was talking about but he listened to the sound of her voice as she vocalized her thoughts. Though he didn’t understand it all he was grateful for her somewhat explained it though he was sure she was just trying to talk herself through it and calm herself down but it had the same effect on him. “I understood maybe a quarter of that. Mainly cell regeneration and rectification.” That probably made him sound like an idiot but when it came to the area of science it was obvious he was an idiot compared to her. Everyone had their skill set and hers was incredibly interesting and showed a high level of intelligence and he was sure she wasn’t likely to find a stimulating conversation with those who had been around them. Orion had already lost so much and losing his sight would likely push him over the edge but he had to trust that Sariah could in fact fix this, it wasn’t meant to be permanent he kept reminding himself.</p>
<p><a href="http://38.media.tumblr.com/19227c776e8aae647e28392fcf9e0a04/tumblr_n8g1bteZCE1r3ftwpo4_r1_250.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://38.media.tumblr.com/19227c776e8aae647e28392fcf9e0a04/tumblr_n8g1bteZCE1r3ftwpo4_r1_250.gif?width=175" width="175" class="align-left"/></a>Sariah’s words calmed him to a point since his greatest worry about being left to deal with his current blindness alone. “I’ll make sure that target becomes non-existent once I can see. He deserved what he got, vampires or any species you don’t touch a woman who doesn’t want to be touched.” He didn’t even pity a man stupid enough to go against Seraphina’s wishes. Every woman was someone’s daughter and every man should respect all women or they weren’t much of a man at all since it was a woman who gave them life in the first place. “Despite our current predicament, I do find you brave, most humans wouldn’t stand up to a vampire, especially when surrounded by them. I wouldn’t say it was the wisest path to take but he learned just because someone looks like an easy target doesn’t make it so.”</p>
<p>Orion’s body was covered with scars and he knew better than most what the fangs of a vampire felt like as they bit into your flesh. When they were feeding they often made the bite a pleasurable experience but when fight there was nothing but a painful burning. Not all vampires liked to gift those they feed from with a pleasant experience and those where the vampires which were dangerous. “No, vampires just kill people like me.” A bitter chuckle left his voice, “Seems only fair since I’ve killed many of them.” He knew she had been teasing but her words hit closer to home than he would have liked, it wasn’t her fault. Few other than other Therian packs and the vampires knew of his family’s reputation since it wasn’t a conflict directly involving humans, only their safety.</p>
<p>A true chuckle left him as Sariah began to apologize not considering the fact that he was security for this event. The irony of that was far from lost on him right now since he was hiding out in some dark room unable to see. “I don’t take offence, my focus is the security of those in attendance not so much what might be hidden away in closets. Truth be told I may not be doing this specific job to the best of my abilities.” He had taken the job to uphold the reputation of the company not wanting to let Ember down since this business was as much hers as it was his.</p>
<p>Silence stretched between them as Sariah focused on the task at hand and Orion focused on sitting quietly and allowing her to concentrate. It seemed like a bad idea to distract her when he knew they were a bit pressed for time since he wasn’t nearly intimidating blind nor could he fight as well. The moment the vampire regain his sight he would be looking to settle a score and that was something Orion wouldn’t allow. “Clawing them out seems like it wouldn’t be the best of solutions especially if I want to see again.” Though he was grateful the foreign feeling was mainly gone even if all he could see was black.</p>

Following her instructions Orion closed his glowing hues and allowed them to rest as he mental counted to thirty not trusting his concept of time. Her voice broke through his mental counting but he was close enough to finished that it didn’t throw him too far off. “Most Therian’s never really get used to them.” It always set most betas and omegas on edge even when it wasn’t necessary. Continuing his count he slowly opened his eyes once more the total darkness giving way to a faint light which turned his vision a dark grey. He was sure the shades were slowly changing but he couldn’t tell too much of a difference yet. “I think you would have pushed the patience of a psychopath past it’s breaking point already.” His tone was light and teasing beginning to see a slight change in his sight. “The black is beginning to slowly lighten.” He stated before blinking slowly unsure if that would help or not. </p>
