Riku grunts in response. "We're crippled vampires," He jokes. They
enter another room full of tables. "This one is full of tables,"
Riku glances around. "Other than that, nothing seems to be standing
out." He sniffs the air.

Khaalida laughs at Riku's joke. "Okay, I'll watch my step..." She
grins and chuckles. She smiles as she feels the warmth from the
sunlight through a broken window but sighs as she doesn't have to
squint at the brightness.
Khaalida's smile faded as Riku asked her the question. "I hope
not... Now would be a very bad time for us..." She picked her head
up and smiled. "I brought us into a part of the city I don't even
recognize... They would have to travel a long ways before they
found us. So we just have to hope..."
"Yeah, that's true." Riku agrees but is still wary. Vampires are
our second problem...I never thought I would've have said that but
its true...what if one is near us? He hated being negative but
that thought nagged his mind.

"Where was your friend stationed?" Khaalida asks, her curiosity
getting the better of her. "If you don't mind my asking..." She
adds, not wanting Riku to get depressed about his friend.
"I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked..." Khaalida replies
quickly after feeling Riku stiffen. I need to get better at
learning what is better left unsaid...
"It's fine," Riku mutters. "I understand, you're curious but as of
right now I don't want to talk about it." As he says this, he loses
his footing and trips. "Ah crap!"

Aurora looks at the blade of the sword to see it shine slightly
brighter. probaly nothing she shrugs and watches as a leaf
falls out a tree. she looks at the leaf and easily slices it in
half before it touches the ground.
Khaalida grabs Riku's arm tightly attempting to keep him up, but
having no vision, she trips on a plank and falls to the floor in a
heap. "Are you okay?" She asks as she gets up on her knees.
(I am going to a 10 day camp and won't be able to post... I am very
sorry for having to leave...)
Riku grunts in response, rolling onto his back. "I'm fine," He
responds and picks up his wooden plank to get back on his feet.
When he does, Riku leans back down to help Khaalida. "Sorry about
that..." He mumbled, his face red with embarrassment.
(it's okay! :3)

Khaalida chuckles and gratefully accepts his help up. "A blind and
a cripple... That is rather amusing!" She smiles, hoping that her
question was forgotten.
"Yeah, it is." Riku laughs once again startling himself. He wasn't
the type who laughed yet here he was. The vampire discarded his
thought and smiles at Khaalida, even though she wouldn't be able to
see it.

Khaalida's smile quickly fades, as she hears a noise from across
the hall. She stands up straight, her head tilting and moving
around trying to pinpoint the sound, which happened to be a mouse
that knocked over a small scrap of wood as it foraged for food.
"What was that?" She asks, her voice full of concern and slight
panic at not being able to see the possible threat.
