"oh ... I never thought about that before" she stopped when he had begun talking ".. hmm" she stopped for a moment in the lobby and with furrowed brows and an expression that was clearly stating that this girl was thinking "it probably would be if you never have known about any of it before. What was it you needed restoring?"She said when she had begun walking slowly again toward the frontdoor.

“To tell you the truth I just recently moved here, from Seattle. I don’t have anything that needs, to be restored, but I what I am interested is in your knowledge regarding art. I was recently at an gallery opening and I was admiring all of the works that were on display, but I am not much of an art critic. But at the moment my penthouse walls are bare and I would like to see something on them besides white paint. I am also interested in sculptures also. I think here is where you can help me. You are familiar with painters, sculptors, you could tell the difference between the work of an impressionists artist or the work of a post modern artist. “ replied Alucard as watched her brow furrowed as if she was considering something, but hadn’t yet decided.

"ah ... okay ... erm I think I should be able to do that - but erm wouldn't you want somebody who knows more about modern art? I usually only get centuries and centuries old paintings.I really don't have any art education - at all."Cassie said while kept walking when they finally got out on to the street "I don't know how exciting it would be for you to go grocery and book shopping with me - but you are most welcome to follow - if you want to that is ... " she became a bit more uncertain and hesistant.

“I don’t mind going shopping with you, especially to a book store, plus I am still trying to learn my way around Detroit. It would be nice to know someone other than my driver who lives here, or my real estate agent.” Alucard answered with slight smile on his face. “Plus when I mentioned you knowing the difference between an impressionists or a post modern artist I could have easily said you know the difference between a Renaissance piece compared to a Baroque piece. To me they are all the same, but to you they are as different as a personal computer is to a main frame computer would be for me.”

"I can be your friend "Cassie said and just exactly succeeded in surpressing a giggle "I would love to help you pick paintings for your flat - okay - what should we do first get the books or the groceries? I usually get groceries first because they're closer to here but I need to pick" she took out a half A4 sheet of paper and looked at it for a minute to be certain what she needed to pick up "up quite a bit." she smiled sweetly

“Well if there isn’t anything perishable on your list like meat of milk, then maybe we should go to the bookstore first. I can spend hours in a bookstore, which might not do well for things that need to be refrigerated and I would be more than happy to have you as a friend and possible business associate too. “ said Alucard as he opened the lobby door for her and waiting for her to go through.

Cassie suddenly felt like a teenage girl with a crush - in spite of her 27 years and a previous engagement (for which she was still weating the ring for) when Alucard opened the door for her - she felt a bigger smile spreading "ok - we'll visit the bookshop and antique shops first cause I sadly do have to restock my whole fridge." She said while getting out into the street though she would have wished that she had gotten out in time to feel the warm sun on her pale skin.

The driver was waiting as Alucard stepped out the door behind a nice looking woman. His employer seemed to be a polite man; he never seemed to in a hurry and was quite. To quite though thought the driver, it is always the quite ones that caused the most trouble, because you could never see, it coming, thought the driver as he opened the door for Alucard, but he paid well unlike some of his other customers. “Which bookshop did you have in mind, Cassie? Alucard asked as he stepped aside to allow her to enter the car first. Her skin is so pale Alucard thought as he watched her enter the car, it seems as if she rarely seen the light of day. He had been like once, always working never venturing outside unless he had no choice in the matter, in some ways she reminded him of himself.

Caasie felt a little too aware of herself when he had let her step in first - she had not been in a car with a driver since she had been 17 "Well, first I ahve to pick up a couple of books and a knick-knack at this antique shop fruther down the street - I promised the owner I would take a look at it and I sort of need the books for this set I told you about before" remembering her short rambling while being in the elevator "and after that could you please ask your driver which bookshop he likes the most - he looks like he knows more about this town than both you and I do." She said and laughed a little hoping he wouldn't start asking too many questions about why she had said it.

“Well I guess our first stop is the antique just down the street. “ Alucard informs his driver as he enters the car and the driver closes the door behind him. Seconds later the driver is pulling away from the curb and eases the limo into traffic. Alucard sits so he is facing the young woman. It is really the first chance that he has taken a good look at her during their conversation.
“I noticed your engagement ring Cassie, who is the lucky man?” Asked Alucard indicating the ring with a slight nod of his head “and how long have you been engaged, Cassie? I also take it you haven’t been in Detroit very long from your comment regarding the driver. Is this where you met your fiancé?”

Cassie looked down at her hands and at her ring "erhm... he is ... ehm .." she started to fiddle with the ring "... erhmm... he..."she sighed and tried to get her thoughts together " is no longer my fiancee" all the sudden she felt utter discomfort and like the car had been far too small, she felt like crying again but tried to hold it in..

Alucard noticed that she had started to fidget with her ring and seemed a bit flustered as if she was attempting to gather her thoughts. “I didn’t mean to pry.” Alucard said as he watched her, “If I made you uncomfortable, I am sorry.” with genuine concern in his voice. “It is I envy people who are able to share their love with someone and are willing to commit themselves to each other.

Cassie kept silent for a long time as she really didn't feel too sure about her voice or ability not to breakdown "...yeah" she kept looking at her ring and she really needed to take it off he was gone dead - no matter what she had seen it he was gone "and don't worry ... just not alot of people asking ... about "inhale-exhale-inhale-exhale was repeated over and over in her - becoming a mantra "...it"despite her urge to flee the car and people as a general she stood halfway up and moved over to sit next to him hoping that being near to somebody would help calm her down.

Alucard could see that she was upset about something and was somewhat surprised by her action when she came and sat next to her. He had never been good with women and all of his relationships failed miserably which is why he felt so comfortable around computers, he always felt as if was Mr. Spock from Star Trek than he was human, but he wasn’t human anymore either. Reaching his arm around her shoulders he simply gave her a hug, giving her a shoulder to cry on. Her flesh was warm to the touch, but he hoped that she wouldn’t notice his cold embrace, thinking it was due to the air conditioning in the car. Alucard didn’t feed as often as when he was first embraced even though he was a young vampire. He had noticed that he didn’t need to feed as often after he had returned from Mexico, something about the elder’s blood had increased his own vampiric abilities making his blood more potent. When he dispatched the Sabbat elder the same feeling he had after Mexico occurred again. He had heard that the elders could do remarkable things and Alucard believed it, since he was always finding new abilities that he had not yet discovered. “Things will be alright, Cassie” he said as he held her in his arm.

Cassie slowly fell into his embrace and felt his arm around her. Even if he had been colder than what was normal she wouldn't have noticed - she was concentrating on him holding her and it was calming her down ... eventhough she still wanted to cry she would not allow herself to do it ... but she just let her head rest on his shoulder while breathing slowly and deeply listening to his voice.
