[Augustine is seated neatly upon the sofa of his exquisite living room looking as handsome as any portrait in this crisp black and fuchsia ensemble. Unlike many times before, his long hair is tied back in a neat fuchsia ribbon and he's actually wearing a pair of silver framed spectacles. Since when does the dhampir wear glasses? Only when they're a fashion accessory at best. That or the fact Augustine's general eyesight is weakening due to his unwillingness to feed off of live prey. Either way, not many will suspect the latter since Augustine seems just as polished and confident as ever.

Of course his three girls, Odette, Claudia & Matilda are peeking into the screen trying to steal his limelight. He gives the pokemons a slightly annoyed glance as the preen and groom themselves before the camera. Eventually he has enough of their shenangians and clears his throat. The three of them scurry out of frame quickly chattering away like the pesky nuisances they are.

Augustine rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He can still hear them fussing in the next room.]

Ladies, please. [Finally there's silence.] Good, girls.

[Ahem!]

Bună ziua! Long time no see, hasn't it? I've been quite busy as of late since the concert. The Nova City Museum just recently installed a new A.I system to manage our many exhibitions. I've been overseeing that project while taking some necessary down time from the public eye.

[That among many other things but he's discreet.]

I've been hoping to get my toes wet in the real estate market. I'm in search for a house for Eliot & I. We're something like *family* at this point and I do believe the lad deserves a beautiful home.

[As does himself.]

I've been trying to price the real estate markets in various cities but each seem so pricey, especially Nova City. I was wondering if there's any homeowners out there who are willing to share information. I currently have my eyes on Everglades, Genessia, & Attleton.

[Augustine attempts to comfort Rip by placing a soothing hand upon her shoulder but he hesitates. She's right. He should've taken better care of himself. Augustine knows better than this, he's far too longed lived not be wiser. However, his hesitance stems from the fact he's here in this odd world. A part of him doesn't want to pervert this seemingly pure world with violence. He likes Genessia far more than his homeland of Ranslyvania and the lack of "vampire hunters" here actually makes him feel sort of safe.

Then why not just feed? Why not give into that dark side of his that still thrives off the sweet nectar of blood? Augustine let's out a frustrated growl.

He doesn't want to hurt anyone, that's why.]

Rip. [His tone is tense when she offers herself to him.] I sworn to you I wouldn't feed off you.

[A promise they made upon the roof that faithful night.]

I truly don't want to break my vow to you because of my own hubris. I will feed but not upon the one I cherish. [He cups the side of her cheek lovingly.] I don't want to violate your trust in me, my huntress.

[Though, the hunger does nag at him terribly. Augustine's eyes flash purple briefly, the odd shade flickering for a brief moment before vanishing all together. A slight groan escapes him as he pulls himself away from Rip. A dull pounding just begun to drink through his head, causing him to flinch some.]

Astaroth?

[He mutters in between gasps once he feels the demon that lurks within his shadow start to stir. It seems that even that beast knows Rip is probably his best source for nourishment now. That's why it stirs within Augustine.]

Seems that I'm out voted. [A slight sigh escapes him as he regards Rip with such a worried gaze.] I'll feed from you but I'll be careful.

Very careful.

[Rip's quiet and listening as he speaks and once he's cupping her cheek, she's leaning into his touch and closing her eyes for a moment. He was right, he had promised that night not to feed off of her and she appreciated his commitment to keeping that pledge.

Honestly, letting anyone feed from her was terrifying to her. The last and only time another vampire fed from her was upon her initial death nearly..two? No, three years ago now. There were days she still remembered his fangs upon her throat and those were the days she woke up with barely a few hours of rest to keep her going. It was part of the reason she was such an insomniac for a vampire.

She opened her eyes just as she was about to say something only to let her words die on her lips when she noticed his eyes flash a startling shade of purple for the briefest of moments. Even she had to admit they were beautiful! But, it also came with something else brushing against her senses. Something...darker and she doesn't quite understand what that is other than it's part of Augustine. It was something she might ask about later.]

You're not violating my trust, Auggie. I am offering. Zhere is a difference between me offering und you just taking.

[She nodded once he finally agreed and then moved to pull her hair out of the way, baring her neck to him with a slight turn of her head. It wasn't hard to tell Rip was nervous about this nor that she was tense as she looked away. He wasn't Alucard... he actually cared for her so this, should be fine, right? ]

I'm trusting you to be careful und not kill me az you feed.

[A hint of why she's so afraid of someone feeding off her.]

[His fangs starts to throb once Rip bares her neck to him. That gentle fair canvas of flesh looks terribly inviting. Her neck is an elegant one, long and sensual with an smooth curve between her throat and her shoulders. Augustine approaches her slowly, that odd darkness that overtook him earlier now receding.

He could still feel Astaroth stirring within the back of his mind but the demon isn't seeking control. Augustine's love and admiration for the huntress before him stays the monster's hand. It knows better than to harm this young vampiress. Augustine would kill him on the spot if he did.

That much Astaroth is certain.]

Rip. [He whispers her name gently as he wraps his arms around her slender waist.] I won't spurn your gift for me.

[Augustine breathes softly against her neck before experimentally flicking his tongue upon her neck. If he must feed from her, might as well make it pleasurable, no? That explains why he's groping her breasts while nibbling gently along her neck. He wants to ease her fears.]

So beautiful.

[Rip stood there and waited as he approached once more and kept her eyes cast to the side. It wasn't hard to see she was nervous baring her throat to him. For her this was something very, very intimate and potentially dangerous.

So she kept herself still, even when she felt something dark brush against her senses before fading away. It had alarmed her a little and even made her tense slightly as she finally felt his arms wrap around her waist and pull her in close. Rip just quietly nodded as he accepted what she was offering and closed her eyes.

With his breath against her skin, she was trembling. The feel of his tongue gently exploring as teeth nibbled and hands explored helped her to gradually relax. It reminded Rip that he cared for her and that she was more than a potential meal for him. He was... one of her lovers and that meant something more to her than it should.

She let out a soft sigh as she slipped her arms up over his shoulders and gently started to play with his long hair, wrapping a strand among her fingers as he slowly eased her fears about being fed off of until finally she was relaxed against him.]

[She's definitely not just a mere "meal" for him. Not with how much he's trying to soothe those unspoken fears. Augustine breathes into the crook of her neck gently as he caresses his lips over her flesh. His hands falter down her sides before slowly coming to rest upon her hips. It's then that she first feels the prick of his fangs. It's a slow and agonizing feeling at first, almost like being bitten by a serpent. However, eventually the slight burn eases once he settles his teeth into her.

Augustine is careful as he drinks from her, so very careful. His bite feels more like a kiss than an actual bite. Like a little love tap, if anything. Completely the opposite of what Rip most likely expected since Augustine is taking such great care. He truly doesn't wish to harm her but at the same time, he needs to feed. Her blood warms him like fire. The dhampir can feel his strength slowly returning with every taste. Rip's blood tastes different because of her vampiric origins, almost...spicy.

He drinks from her with confidence now, his bite gaining a bit more force. Still, he's gentle. Very gentle.]

[The first agonizing feel of his fangs drew a whimper from the huntress as his teeth settled into her. Even with her being relaxed against him, there was still a slight spike of fear rolling off of her before it gradually subsided as his bite began to feel more like a loving kiss.

That loving 'kiss' is what eased her fears and kept her calm against him as he kept feeding from her. But, as she felt him take from her, Rip could feel her control on her own hunger lessen slightly. She mentally tightened the reins on it, but, depending on how much he ended up taking from her really depended on what kind of monster he had in his hands once he finished.]
