♕ A King's 1st Blood ♕ [Accidental Video]

[vampirebrat]

[The video clicks and the feed begins with a quick red haze passing through it. It's hard to identify what it was since it was now deep within the owner's pocket. The feed appears to be in someone's pocket and had a clear view of Genessia Hospital's emergency ward. Right beside the owner was an old woman whom was slowly coming to her senses. If she wasn't in the emergency room, one would doubt that she was ill in the first place - because she looked perfectly healthy.]

Thank you, young man.. I mean doctor. I've never been better. I need to show you my appreciation!

There's no need for it.

But there is! I was half-beaten to death by those thugs who stole my money. But with your care, I don't even have a single wound or bruise in me. I wish I could pay you, but I have nothing of value left. Thank you, Doctor.

It doesn't matter. I'll have you discharged by daybreak.

[The woman still sounded frail but looked upon the doctor with great appreciation in her features. The doctor on the other hand sounded professional if not indifferent and cold. If only this woman knew that in exchange for healing her completely, he took some of her blood. Happily, the bandages that remained on her body, however small, hid the puncture marks well.]


*****

[It was a few minutes before daybreak. The doctor seemed to be filing the necessary paperwork to discharge most of his patients. In front of him was the head nurse for the night shift.]

Doctor Duzell, time to leave?

Yes. Endorse the rest of my patients to you know who.

[The head nurse seemed to find this amusing. In fact, he was laughing so hard. Duzell didn't mind him so much, since its mostly just the two of them watching over the hospital during night time, them and a few other nurses and lab technicians. Admittedly in the beginning, he found his cheery disposition to be too irritating. Though as the weeks passed by, he got used to it. He reminded Duzell of Yuujel.

Though Duzell did his best to handle all the priority patients for the evening, he always endorsed the rest of his patients to the same person. Not that he didn't think the other doctors were capable. Also, he could have finished all his patients for the evening since the job was relatively easy, but he was too lazy for that, and she knows it.]

Doctor Ishtar will throw a fit again! You should have seen her when you endorsed 30 patients all in one morning.

Really?

She had her hands full and no doctor could touch the patients and help her because of your endorsement! She wasn't exactly happy about it.

[Clearly this amused him to no end. His face did not show it, but he was certainly pleased with his actions. Perhaps this place was not as boring as he initially thought. In any case, this is all Ishtar's fault. Forcing him to work was a ridiculous idea. Where does she get the guts to tell a Vampire King he should work to earn money for rent? Sure she was the Princess of Pheliosta but he was still the Vampire King, Duzell. Wasn't she the one who was supposed to be providing for him? At least, that was their set-up back in their kingdom. He does everything else while she makes sure he has a cozy lifestyle. It wasn't set in stone, but that was how it was in the castle and Duzell got used to that.

Shortly after the nurse spoke, Duzell noticed that his communicator was blinking. Before the feed ends, it gives everyone a glimpse of Duzell's immaculate features, his long and shiny white hair and his hauntingly beautiful red eyes.]

[xroyal_bratx]

Well, you never know that Duzie.

[ She replied giving him a small chuckle for his words. Either way, Ishtar wanted to make sure he was safe. He was someone she was close to and she was protective of him. ]

Hmm...? Yeah I guess so.

[ She shrugged looking at him. ]

What kind of pizza do you want?

[ She tilted her head. ]

[vampirebrat]

My job is to keep you safe, Princess. I couldn't care less if the rest of humanity would burn. I'll gladly see it happen if it means you remain safe.

[He opened the door for her and the scent invaded all his senses. It smelt nice. Perhaps they can replicate it at some point.]

Can't we have a taste of everything?

[xroyal_bratx]

No it's not. You don't have a job or obligation towards me, Duzie. We're just working together for your goal, which is finding my great-grandfather's reincarnation so you could kill him.

[ she replied laughing. ] So keeping me alive means that I'm here to help with your work. Though, we've become sort of inseparable huh?

[ She replied smiling sadly as she walked through the door. ]

I'm not rich, Duzie. I don't have all the money and that would be a waste of food.

[vampirebrat]

Yet, how can I do that when you're accident prone? When every minute, there's a possibility that someone will use you, manipulate you and even kill you?

[Duzell looks over at Ishtar with a displeased expression. Seriously, this girl says the most embarrassing things at times.] Maybe.

Maybe we can ask for a sampler plate? They should have that, right?

[He led her to a booth far from people. He didn't like seeing too many people after all.]

[xroyal_bratx]

Ahaha, you care way too much.

[ She drapes er arms around him softly chuckling at his words. Duzell was right though. She was always so accident prone. She always got hurt, and she always made everyone worry. ]

Well I can defend myself most of the time as long as they're not you or something.

[ She replied. She liked to tease him here and there sometimes. She meant all those words. ] I can ask or we can do half and half. We can always come back later?

[ She replied following him in. ]

[vampirebrat]

You care too little for your own good.

[He was startled by the show of affection, yet he was used to it. Ishtar was very touchy-feely. He placed his arm around her shoulders so it won't seem awkward. Just this once.] I need to talk to you about that. About people whom can rival me.

Sharing two platters sound good. [He said sitting beside her. His eyes fixed at the menu, though his arm was brushing against hers. Just maintaining a small measure of contact.]

[xroyal_bratx]

Hehe, maybe but I don't see how that is bad to be honest.

[ She chuckled at his comment. The princess had her arms behind her back as she looked around the place and the menus and such. ]

Two platters it is. Look, there's all these weird toppings and stuff, so which do you want to eat?

[ She mused with a small grin on her face. Ishtar chuckled to herself. He never really respected her personal space so she got used to it quickly. ]

[vampirebrat]

Sometimes I surprise myself. I'm surprised at how I still believe you can understand my point of view.

[Sarcasm. But it should be obvious to her by now. Duzell cared about her. She should at least take that into consideration.

Then he pointed at something in the menu.]

This thing says it has cheese embedded on the crust, and then it has at least 5 different kinds of meat on it. It sounds appetizing.

[xroyal_bratx]

We're two different people, Duzell. We have our our own minds and our own thoughts. We have our motivations and our roles. Mine's just not so similar to yours. I also had a lot to think about for the last three or so years, you know?

[ She replied smiling a bit sadly at his comment. She knew he did and she wasn't trying to stomp in his care, but Ishtar always got away with what she wanted to do regardless of what others had to say. ]

Right, we'll do that then, and what about the second one?

[vampirebrat]

You choose.

[He said, after just quietly gazing at her. Perhaps his eyes reflected too much, his inner thoughts. He really did genuinely care about her.]

Go on, order. We have lots to talk about.

[xroyal_bratx]

Well, alright.

[ the princess replied as she picked a few random toppings off the menu and handed it to the waitress with the meat version that Duzell wanted. ]

Do we? Like what?

[ Ishtar sipped water casually as he said that. ]

[vampirebrat]

Things like what happened to you in those years you were away from me. Away from our world.

You need to tell me.

[xroyal_bratx]

Well, that's a long story I would rather not talk about. It's not all that interesting and it brings back really bad memories, you know?

[ She replied shrugging. She's avoiding the topic ]

It's alright Duzie, the past is the past~
