[This was supposed to be just a night off, a break from responsibilities that even the most diligent of leaders needed to take in order to refresh and be able to operate at their best. With everything going on lately, that was certainly the case for Young-ho.

Perhaps the first sign that something was wrong was the fact that there were reports of unrest in the area, and that while there hadn't been anything lately, there didn't seem to be any indication of the perpetrators being either caught or told to stand down. Being more careful was something that made sense, of course, but sometimes there are small moments that nobody could really account for, either.]

[ He may benefit from his bonds with a magic user and he may also have skin toughen by age to the point in which sunlight isn't as much as a bane as it was to other vampires, but it still burned. His skin crack and hissed and blackened and he knew that through his bond Dusty would feel the burn and react. But it was fine, more then fine since he was far less likely to get killed as Young-ho was from a sun bomb.

But it still hurt.

The other vampires were down; he could smell the way their skin and blood and bones burned, hear the way they tried to force screams out of throats that couldn't respond. Tarr pushed himself off of the younger vampire, feeling his own skin crack and tear from the movement. Some of it was healing but he knew that if there were more, he would be driven into a frenzy and that would not be good. But for the moment, he was more concerned at how Young-ho was doing. ]


Mage bomb. A real one would have tossed a few more. [ Making sun bombs was harder then storing up the spells, so it was more of a weapon sold to whoever wants one instead of something a mage would carry. ] Did you get hit?

[ He should have finished their attackers but he did not feel much pity. After all, one of them had to been carrying to sun bomb which meant that they did not expect to get caught. A suicide mission which would narrow down the list of people that Young-ho had angered. There were few vampires that could buy a suicide squad like this one; it was a trait of most of their kind to value living above everything else.

Shaking his head, he just stayed where he was, squatting on his haunches and taking deep breaths. He was fine, really, he just needed to make sure that he was capable of moving before he actually did so. It wouldn't do him any good to bleed any more, even if getting out of danger should be a priority. He just needed a few more minutes.

Of course that was when he felt the surge of power close by. Taking a breath, he pushed himself to his feet, and watched the shadows roll and pulled back as a single figure stepped out from nowhere. ]

[ Shadows clung to his dusky skin, lingers fingers of the clouds dripping down touching the ground and bring with it a hint of old bones and empty crypts. He smiled, reaching up to tap slender fingers against his lips, the silver rings on his hand glittering and then Tarr growled, low and exasperated, and the human mage laughed. ]

Well, you're no fun. I'm not allowed to joke when you go off and toss yourself into danger?

[ Tarr's eyes narrowed, but he didn't move. In fact, he could feel some of the tension leave his muscles. If there was a mage around, they wouldn't have an easy enough task to take out someone like Dusty. ]

Shut up.

[ Dusty laughed and the shadows clinging to him faded away, his skin tone turning more golden than ash gray. Dressed in casual sleepwear, he had a bag slung over his shoulder and a lot of jewelry on him, some gold, some silver, but all of it looking like it had been grabbed and put on in haste. Giving the two vampires looks, he took a few pieces off and shoved them into his bag. ]

Relax. I'm not here to kill anyone.

Oh, I know but that one has the tendency of throwing himself into the path of sun bombs all the time.

[ Tarr's scowl deepened and Dusty fished out a bag of blood and a straw. He looked at Young-ho for a moment and then stepped around him to hand both to the older vampire, patting him on the arm fondly as Tarr grabbed it and stabbed the straw through the plastic. ]

His partner. You can call me Dusty.

[ Turning around he moved to one of the dead vampires, swinging his bag back and crouching down next to it. Dark stains twisted over his fingers, forming hooks and keys and daggers as he poked it. ] Bloodfangs?

[ Tarr made a face around his straw. ] You're not going to...

Too late. [ The body jerked, shadows clawing into the blackened skin, Dusty's face stern, cold. ]

[ The blood was stale and lacking anything that he really wanted, but Tarr knew that most of that criticism came from his baser want for a living neck to bite into. He shoved it away and instead just drained the blood bag, watching Dusty as he started working his magic on the dead vampire. That was not very usual. Dusty didn't like to invoke his darker powers, letting his minor shadows do most of the work. But even he knew that there were times when Dusty needed his magic.

Feeling strengthened by the first blood bag, he walked over to Dusty and tugged on the bag, rooting out another bag to replace the drained one. Dusty didn't pull away from the body, but he did look up, making a face, and Tarr calmly stabbed the fresh bag and started drinking. The burned skin was knitting itself together and he didn't feel as shaky as he had been before. ]


Well?

[ The shadows had consumed the body hissing as they settled in and then there was a sharp crack as the surviving bones were twisted. ] Twice dead are not that easy to get to talk, brat.

[ Tarr rolled his eyes and stepped back and Dusty stood up, his fingers twisting as lines of shadows stretched from their tips to the twitching body. ] But I am good enough to know what they whisper.

[ The body became ash as the strings vanished. Dusty brushed his hands off and turned around to Tarr, poking at his cheek before he walked over to Young-ho and held out his hand, the shadowed forms gone and his skin a pleasant tan again. ] It's nice to meet you. Are you one of Tarr's strays?

killingfloorblues: (did you just..?)
From: [personal profile] killingfloorblues
Ah? I suppose I have heard a little whisper about that.

[ He glanced back at Tarr, and then swung his bag around, humming as he pulled out another blood bag and a fresh straw, holding them both out to Young-ho. ] Here, you probably need a boost after getting a little tanned.

[ Tarr finished up his second bag and sighed, walking over to shove the empty into Dusty's bag. ] You're stalling.

And you are annoying. [ Dusty reached up with both hands and smushed them together, ignoring the glare that Tarr was giving him. It was probably one of those kind of moves that usually would have the offending person get smacked into the nearest building but that he allowed Dusty to do it showed his feelings far more then mere words. It still didn't mean that Tarr didn't do anything, he just turned his head and nipped at the long fingers on his cheek. ]

Brat. Fine. Does the name Han Sang-suk mean anything to you?

lesinset: (fingers r good)
From: [personal profile] lesinset
No doubt you did something and he felt threatened or that his pride was wounded... stop that.

[ Tarr had managed to catch one of Dusty's fingers and was worrying at it. Not hard, no, but it was almost like a playful cat that managed to catch a finger and wanted to show that there was no real malice to their play. Dusty managed to tug his finger free after a moment or two, scowling at the very obvious smirk on Tarr's face. ]

Waking me up and making me use my magic and now you're being a brat.

I didn't make you do anything you didn't want to do. [ Dusty's scowl deepened and Tarr ignored it as he turned back to Young-ho. ] He has a stronger base in the local council last time I checked.

He probably feels that you don't have any true backing like her.

[Which was how things were in vampire society. Bloodlines mean a lot and when Molly's ties appeared, no one was willing to sink to certain moves because of how the most honorable ancestor would react. True she was a hunter and there would always be a chance to her days being numbered, but a full out assassination attack would not make the ancestor happy. ]

Idiot.

[ Dusty raised an eyebrow at Tarr and peers at him before turning towards Young-ho and blinks. Then he grinned and reaches over to squish his cheeks together, his hands cool and soft. ] Aww, are you blushing?
Date: 2017-05-22 04:59 am (UTC)

killingfloorblues: (so the thing)
From: [personal profile] killingfloorblues
So cute!

[ It would take a lot to get Dusty to back away from a blushing vampire, even if he knew just how embarrassing it might be for someone of a prominent social standing. Tarr had told him at one time that he was like one of those grandmothers who would pull out all the baby books just to show off how much silliness a kid did right before calling them baby names. Dusty disagreed, but well, Dusty would disagree if he didn't like where Tarr was going with his words.

But probably to Young-ho's relief Dusty does end up stopping, but only because he was squinting at Young-ho like something was puzzling him. He dropped his hands and looked over at Tarr, who saw his expression and raised both eyebrows in a slow dawning horror. Dusty opened his mouth and Tarr pounced, attempting to cover said mouth with his hands.

He didn't make it. ]


Are you two related?
Date: 2017-05-24 06:28 pm (UTC)

lesinset: (hate u so much)
From: [personal profile] lesinset
You two feel -

[ Tarr finally got Dusty to shut up basically by covering the mage's mouth with his hands. Which meant that the mage was glaring up at the elder and making muffing sounds against his hands. ]

He has no reason to say tha - ow!

[ He jumped back and Dusty grinned, pointing at Tarr. ]

You are, why else are you hiding it?
Date: 2017-05-26 01:20 am (UTC)

lesinset: (ded eye)
From: [personal profile] lesinset
I hate you.

[ Dusty grinned and gave a little bounce on his heels, all but dancing at the expressions crossing Tarr's face. Well, expressions that he could read and others just had to guess at since he always had a good poker face. ] That isn't what you said yesterday.

[ He huffed and gave Dusty a look and the mage then turned back to Young-ho, still smiling. ] Surprise?

You are horrible and I didn't want anyone to know anything about it.

[ Dusty just waved his hand at Tarr as if that would keep him from voicing any displeasure about having his secrets just dumped out the way they were. Tarr continued to glare at the mage's back before huffing a sigh. ]

I had younger sisters when I was mortal. I felt sorry for being taken from the family and came back to make sure they were fine... and I just continued to keep track.

lesinset: (plotting)
From: [personal profile] lesinset
Mm.

[ That was good. It was enough for him to actually say what he did without having to go into details when Young-ho was smart enough to understand. Vampire politics was messy enough as it is without the added weight of being related. It was one thing to have a bond through maker and child, it was something mush darker to have a bond through human ties. Look at all the trouble it caused Molly despite her relative being who he was. It would be much worse for Young-ho. ]

Much has changed and you can say that I don't speak as much to others for them to see the connection so easily. [ He shot a glance at Dusty who assumed a hurt innocent expression. ]

You're not that sorry.
