“Yeah well, he doesn’t explain a lot,” Anita muttered again, starting to feel the first few waves of agitation before true anger set it. She wasn’t sure what this vampire wanted, and the older they were the more difficult for her to understand their driving force. They were definitely something to keep her eyes on and she’d probably would want to share her little BBC interview with Jean-Claude, but right now? Right now all she wanted to do was get as far away from vampires as she could, unless she was using them for target practice.
Anita froze at Edwards nickname. She knew that he wouldn’t take to kindly to her discussing him with vampires, let alone people he didn’t know. And for a moment, the animator wasn’t sure if she closed up for fear of Edward and what these inquisitors would do to him or for the possible piles of vampire ash she’d have to explain to the rest of the marshals. “No,” she finally admitted. “He’s a ‘don’t start anything, won’t be anything kind of guy.”
Finally accepting the lifted weight as their conversation came to a close, Anita stood and rubbed her hands on her dark jeans, gifting him one of her signature not-so-happy happy smiles. “I guess a phone call would do,” she reluctantly pulled out her card and set it on the table, “Or maybe using the mail this time instead of leaving it by my door… Makes me a little jumping, all for the love of trust issues.”
“If you do ever want things explained to you just ask and I will answer your questions without the show that Jean-Claude puts on.” Axel told her with picked up her card, glad that her friend would not be a worry for his time here. “So no unexpected things at your doorstep? I can agree to that rule.” Axel smiled, managing again not to flash her with fangs.
He walked her to the door and held out his hand. “I have been a little rude this evening and I hope you can forgive me, my intent here is just to understand what happened. Nothing more. And I promise Ms. Blake that I will not be a problem for you during my stay.” He would keep to his word after all he did not wan the executioner after him.
“Also should you need my help while I am here do not be afraid to call upon me.” Axel told her as he handed her a card with his name and number on it, it did also have his lingerie company details on it as well. “I do thank you for taking time out of your night to talk with me.”
