“Hey,” Anita chuckled darkly, “I don’t plan on sitting by while it does, and I don’t think I’ll be allowed to anyway.” She smiled distantly as they found their way back to her doorway, a hand digging in her pockets for her keys. “Well, I gotta go and shower,” she announced, looking down at her keys for reaching a hand to touch the door handle, failing at ignoring how almost normal their conversation turned, as if they were just any normal dating couple. Anita even dropped her keys and cursed herself for the pathetic musings.
“Oh Crap,” she reached down to grab it, “Uh, keep me informed on any other changes with him, Jean-Claude… I’ll try to head over there tomorrow if duty allows it.” Although there was a wandering notion that she would receive a call if not a summon from the childish Master Vampire.
He smiled and was glad that she wouldnt sit by and let the city fall to ruin because of one vampire who staked a claim on her. He opened his mouth to say something as she announced that she was going to shower but thought better of it.
As she dropped her keys he quickly bent down at the same time she did to pick them up, his fingers brushing over hers as she reached them before he did. “I will…” He said softly as he stood back up and met her gaze for a moment. “I am sure he will summon you tomorrow anyway, I am surprised that he hasn’t already tried to get you to go over there tonight.” Axel said with a smirk as he put his hand on her arm gently. “Enjoy your sleep, and try to get more than a few hours tonight.”
