Holding her head with her hands, Khaalida blinks rapidly attempting
to see again. "My vision is returning..." She shakes her head and
turns her head towards the sound of Riku's voice. "You don't need
to be sorry. If anyone should be sorry its me. I sincerely
apologize for hurting you." You really need to get better at
some things...
"That's great!" Riku exclaimed, a small smile appearing on his
face. It soon faded once Khaalida apologized for hurting him. "Hey,
I already told you. It's okay. It was my fault," He points out,
grimacing as a his shoulder began to throb.
(sorry for taking like, forever >~<)

Chuckling half-heartedly Khaalida replies. "Its both of our
faults... My over reaction to it certainly allows me some blame..."
She stumbles once more as her eyes flash again. She regains her
footing and, though her vision is very blurry and dark, she can
just make out Riku's silhouette.
"Actually, no it isn't. If it was some other vampire or a human,
then you would've had the upper hand, even if you were blind." Riku
turns to Khaalida and places his hand on her shoulder. "It wasn't
an 'over reaction'. So if something like that ever happens again, I
want you to hit as hard as you can."
[inserts Hinami] Unable to find the two vampires, Hinami had rested
for a bit in the car she had found.
(ah, okay! ^-^)

Khaalida didn't jump as she felt the weight of Riku's hand on her
shoulder, because she saw the movement and knew it was coming.
"Trust me, I will." She grins. "Just make sure it isn't you next
time!" I guess we were very lucky to not have been found while I
was completely blind... She clears her throat. "I should have
the rest of my sight back very soon..."
"It won't be, don't worry." Riku says and squeezes her shoulder. He
leans against the wall and glances around. "Good thing, no one has
found us yet." Riku stifles a yawn. "But that doesn't mean they
won't..." We can stay here for a while longer, probably at least
for two days for my leg to heal up...
Hinami glances around and reports in to see if she can get backup.
"Probably not..." She mutters.
(made a character but he isn't gonna show yet :3 )
Khaalida nods. "A very good thing." She looks around blinking,
trying to help clear her vision. I wonder how long we'll be safe
here? Hopefully long enough so Riku's leg is healed... I need a new
weapon... Drat! Those humans have my rapier!! She purses her
lips at the thought of the humans in ownership of the sword.
(Oh!! He looks great!! And like he could kill Khaalida...)
Riku's question snaps Khaalida back to the room and reality. "What?
Oh, just thinking about things and where my weapon is..." She
mutters the last part making it barely intelligible. She squints
and rubs at her eyes as she regains more of her vision.
(What was her companion again? I probably can do that. And I didn't
say you wanted to, I just said that it looks like he has the
ability to...)
"Can you speak any lower, please?" Riku jokes as he once again
tries to lighten the mood. I highly doubt I can though...we're
pretty much defenseless right now, He sighs and rubs his
shoulder.
(It was Draco but he never responded again. You can make your own
though! And yes, I got that but I guess how I responded didn't seem
like it, I apologize for that...)

Khaalida chuckles and says something so soft all that could be
discerned was, "I wouldn't... be... you." She grins as the rest of
her vision returns. "I can see again!" She smiles broadly as she
walks over and picks up the board she tripped on.
Draco walks over to Hinami. "Any word?" He asks.
(Its quite alright! No need to apologize :) Its done and figured
out.)
Riku grins and props himself off the wall and shifts his weight to
the wood again. "I'm glad to hear that," He watches Khaalida pick
up the board. "That's one problem solved," Riku murmurs.
Hinami shakes her head. "The two vampires haven't been seen." She
replies and turns to Draco. "They probably made distance between us
and them."
(Okay! ^-^ I hope Draco is alright with you using his character
though!)

Khaalida breaks the plank over her thigh and smiles setting the two
halves on the ground. She turns to Riku and then down to his leg.
"I could try again... Or just stay here and pray we're not found
until that heals..." She steps towards him.
Draco nods and then looks off to the horizon. "Probably... But how
far is the question..."
Riku immediately shakes his head at Khaalida's offer. "No, I don't
think that's a very good idea." He says, glancing at his injured
foot. "What if you go blind again? I think its better to wait for
it to heal. And if someone finds us...at least we won't be both
crippled." Riku rubbed his face suddenly looking weary.
"We could keep going," Hinami suggests. "They teleported but
whoever did it, they were both weak. So I believe that they
couldn't have gone past the city."
(Yeah, you make a valid point...)

"We will wait then..." Khaalida looks at Riku with concern written
on her features. "You alright?" She walks over to him and places
her hand on his arm. "You should get some rest..." She looks back
to the doorway.
Draco turns back to Hinami. "You make a valid point. Lets go then,
and pray we head off in the right direction..." He begins walking
down the road.
(If it becomes a problem I will change the character...)
Riku nods and leans against the wall again. "That's a start." He
mutters, closing his eyes. When was the last time I drank?
Riku re-opens his eyes and licks his lips. "I'll go back to the
room with the couch, you can explore if you like." Not waiting for
Khaalida to reply, Riku makes his way down the hall slowly, due to
his injured leg. He grunts along the way.
"Roger that." Hinami follows Draco, her boots crunching the gravel
beneath them.

Khaalida watches Riku walk away and she winces slightly every time
he puts pressure on his injured leg. That must be so painful...
I really need to practice my healing spells... She looks around
the room and finds another corridor out. Perhaps I can find
something... Where'd that mouse go? She walks down the new
passage looking for anything living.
Draco walks in silence. He pulls out the slender blade from the
female vampire. He holds it up in the light and examines the fine
weapon.
Riku slowly makes his way back to the room, grimacing at each step.
"All this walking made it worse..." He collapsed on the couch and
almost instantly, the pain on his foot decreased. Letting out a
sigh, Riku rubbed his temples. I need to drink...
"It's a really nice blade," Hinami remarks and glances around. No
one was in sight.

Khaalida wandered the empty halls. She stopped as she heard a
slight noise coming from the next room. It was a scratching sound.
She peered around the corner and found an old looking dog, digging
at a hole in the wall. She crept up on it and it turned and looked
up at her with crazed eyes. It growled and bared its teeth. She
bared hers and hissed as she leapt at the dog, deftly snapping its
neck. She picked up the body and quickly made her way back to Riku.
"I know its not human... But its better than nothing..." She laid
the limp body on the floor next to him.
Draco tosses and catches the blade in mid air. "Yes, well
crafted... It is well balanced..."
Riku scrunched his nose at the old mutt, the creature not seeming
satisfying whatsoever. But at least it's something... He
glances at Khaalida with gratitude. "Thank you," The vampire
reaches over and picks up the limp body, sinking his fangs into the
mutt's neck. Riku shuddered at the taste. After drinking for a bit,
Riku pulled back. "What about you?"
Hinami continues walking. "Do you think that vampire made it?"
