"News to me?"

With the others now gone, only Cleo remained, dark and tall and beautiful in the low light, Her dark eyes staring, leaving You to sit awkwardly by the table "Did you want to chat, or maybe purchase a kodak?" the words were venom from your lips, strange... it felt so natural this way that You had begun to speak and act, but You knew it was Beast doing that.

"Apologies..." Cleo said, moving almost cautiously towards You "You are a little frightening." she added, always keeping You in her sight as she got closer and closer "Frightening?"

"Yes, quite." closer she came, even closer now, "I realize how the whole Superior thing could be off-putting but how am I scary exactly?" She tilted her head curiously "Well," Cleo inched over to a vacant chair, carefully pulling it towards her and sitting on it back to front, "You beat Umbra almost effortlessly. You're rapidly developing beyond any Vampire I've ever seen, You sound powerful..." She took a couple of light sniffs at the air "...You smell powerful, hell, just sitting here, You even feel powerful."

"Well, I'm sorry I guess?" Cleo smiled lightly "To think that someone like You would be reborn into one so powerful, We would be lucky to have You, Charles."

Another couple moments of silence went before She spoke again, her face like the thoughts were bubbling in the cauldron of her mind "Hawkins gave me to You, just for a night, as a prize for beating his disciple." You weren't quite sure what to say to that "Ummm, I... that's ummm, news to me?"

"I have no intention of paying his debt, unless You wish to take me by ****, in which case, I will not be taken quietly." She gripped the sides of her chair, Her eyes watching You expectantly as you contemplated her words, "listen, I don't exactly know how You people conduct Your business, but I don't just... take, women for no reason."

With blood-red lips did she grin then, the brown of her eyes bursting with red "Maybe I wouldn't mind being ravaged a little, consider Mr. Corvus' offer, there is so much that I... we, could offer You."

Buzzing in Your chest... A feeling like a cold, hot, gooey, melting feeling, for a moment it was simply strange, but after that... You realized, hey, my throat feels kinda dry.

"I-I have to go..." You stood, quickly walking past the silent Cleo, exchanging not another word as you vanished through the doorway.
