If Zekeal was suprised at the greeting, it didn't show; he smiled genially. Or so it would seem. If you knew Zekeal well, you would see through it. "Nice to meet you, I'm Zekeal Geldenwich. Do you.. live here?" he raised an eyebrow, flicking his dark hair from his cold amber eyes, gazing into Vincent's honey gold ones.
Elander was hungry. Hunger was her enemy as a human/wolf shapeshifter; knowing she'd get more to eat as a wolf, being hungry made it a challenge to remain in human form. She stared at the door, wondering how long Zekeal would be. If she could slip away and return before he did. As another groan from her stomach rippled through her, trying to change her form, all thought of Zekeal slipped away. It didn't matter, and she could reason better after a good meal anyway. She slipped from the Inn and crept down the street to the wood surrounding the small town, before shifting. She sniffed the air excitedly. She could smell something funny not far off.. animal, yet human. Like her. But food first.
After somekind of woodland bird and a rabbit like thing in her stomach, Elander sniffed for that unknown scent again. Sure enough, she located it.. funny, it was back in the town... she set off.

Page nervously bit his lip as he slunk along the back of the alley that led to the pub's backdoor entrance. The door opened and he quickly hid to the side as a man exited the door and headed out to get more supplies from the market. Sneaking inside the kitchen, Page looked around and saw there was a head of lettuce that was still uncut at the top of a table, with some cheese to the side. So the man was getting MEAT from the butcher...
Page quickly ran up to the table and snatched a knife from nearby, slicing both the lettuce and the cheese in half, then taking the two pieces and running out back into the alley. Hiding himself behind some large stacks of boxes filled with what appeared to be flour which would be brought in later, he sat down on his cloak and began to eat, hands shaking as he scarfed his food down. It had been almost five days since he'd last had anything and he was starving!

"... Yes, My daughter and I hold a permanent residence not to far away from this town. If you would like, you are more then welcome to meet us there.", Vincent said, his eyes looking over Zekeal with some curiosity.
Elizabeth grinned then danced out the door, Vincent following only after a moments pause, both headed to the manor house on the hill.

John panted a bit as he was behind his home, his whip in his hand. going over to the tree he was practicing his whip on, looking at the damage that it caused, noticing the bark was peeled right off. Walking back to where he was before he started practicing again, the sound of the whip making contact with a loud cracking noise. One of the good things that living out of town brought, none of the town folk investigated the noise.

Page lay against the wall of the inn, taking deep breaths as he tried to let the food he'd wolfed down settle. He had wrapped himself in his cloak again so as to hide his appearance and was thinking back to when he'd first been changed. It was ironic, he thought. He looked like an angel, he felt more like a monster.

Zekeal left the inn and watched the two vampires until they left his sight. He pondered their invitation. He knew Elander would want him to go. But making connections was bad- it made it harder to leave a place. And if the two vampires knew he was a murderer, would they try and restrain him from leaving? They'd probably be able to- there were two of them. But still, the details of their life enthralled Zekeal- how did they keep it up? And it was only a one off visit. What difference could it make? He set off after them. Upon arriving on their front door, he rapped clearly with the knocker.
Elander whipped round at the crack of a whip not far off. She hated that sound. But the smell that was near it? That was more interesting. It smelled like Zekeal; but it was completely different simultaneously. Another vampire? Here? What were the odds... and that curious beast/human smell. This place definatly needed investigating. She'd sort it out with Zekeal later. Anyway, she'd be thanked if she had some infomation on another vampires wherabouts, surely? She bounded towards the smell. When she got close, she shifted back into her human form, and called out. "Is anyone there?"

Page stiffened, then quickly hid behind a group of barrels to his right. Maybe if he was completely quiet and STILL...

Elander sniffed curiously. Part of her wolfish senses remained when she was a human, so she could smell that beast/human again and she was excited. A thought struck her. This .. thing.. probably wasn't keen on being discovered. She hoped it wouldn't put up a fight; she was only curious and was in general a friendly soul. She debated on approaching as a wolf, or a human. She settled on the latter so as not scare it, but was ready to shift if it turned dangerous. She stepped behind the barrels and was suprised the cloaked figure looked so human- it smelt so beastial. "Hi?" she spoke suprisedly, and then, to show she wasn't just any passing villager, she blurted out, "I know you're not completely human,"

Page wrapped himself more tightly in his cloak to hide himself, but his paws were clearly visible. He hung back, sticking to the wall, nervously breathing. She smelled of blood...a great deal of it. Perhaps she was a creature of the night!
"Please don't come closer, miss!" He begged. It wasn't for his own sake so much as hers...his healing powers had a harsh effect on vampires and other dark and evil beings, and even IF she was a vampire, he'd been raised to be civil and courteous to women.

Elander was rather amused at being called 'miss', and she laughed; but somehow it was mocking. "Don't worry, I doubt you could hurt me. But since you clearly would rather I left you alone again, let's make a deal: if you tell me what you are, I'll leave you to continue skulking around these barrels in peace," she taunted, her eyes glittering with an amused calculating look. She flicked a strand of hair out of her face; she needed to cut it back again. It had always grown quickly, like a wolf's. She played with her earring and watched the human/beast thing for his (it seemed male) reply.

Page did the next best thing...he reached up to the hood of his hooded cloak and lowered it, completely exposing his head and looking deep into her eyes with his serenely beautiful ones, blinking slowly.

Beth danced down to the door and opened it. "Welcome.", She said brightly before she danced over to the piano. "You can stay here as long as you would like.", Vince said from behind yet another large tome that he was reading, "Please feel free to invite your shapeshifter friend as well. There is no reason for you two to stay in an inn while you move through."

Zekeal, from his usual alert pose, went stiff. His eyes narrowed warily; "How do you know of my.. companion?" he asked dryly. Friendship was not how he'd describe his relationship with Elander. Companionship didn't do it justice either. She just followed on; a bystander and a burden. But still, Zekeal didn't wasnt her to come to harm, and he didn't like Vince's casual comment revealing he knew alot about her. And himself. It made the fact Zekeal knew nothing about Vince and Beth at all even clearer, and more worrying. "How much do you know about us, then?" he raised a interregating eyebrow.
Elander's eyes glowed with a wild, almost unpleasant, delight- she grinned wolfishly. "Unfortunatly, this is too interesting to stick to my word. But in return, I'll show you something too," she winked conspiratorially at Page. Her form flickered, and for a moment, a large grey wolf stared ominously at Page, before it returned to it's human form. She looked expectantly at him, waiting for his reaction to this wonder.

Page blinked in surprise. "Are you...cursed too?" He inquired softly. "No, that...attitude you have about it...this is something different. What ARE you? Why do you reek of blood?"

Vince smiled softly, setting the book down. "... I have more information on you then you wish to think was possible. Beth here has foreseen you and your shapeshifter friend joining us.", he said softly, standing slowly, "... I also know of your hunting style, do not consider it murder."
Beth stayed at the piano, changing the song to something much more somber. "Don't worry, Elander and I will become great friends.", she said, starting to play the song slower, almost making a fenural march.
