inches closer, her gaze locking with yours, a small but confident smile playing on her lips. "Feel the promise in my eyes?
I'm too busy pouring over forbidden spells in an old leather bound book
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your distraction Oh? Forbidden spells, huh? leans in closer to peek at the book
I quickly hide the book behind my back *hiding it from her view
smirks, her voice dropping to a low whisper Hiding something from me, are we? reaches out and gently grabs your hand, pulling it closer
I don't say anything I just look at her, studying her features
tightens her grip on your hand, a mischievous glint in her eyes You know, LuminousForest, curiosity can be a dangerous thing.
leans in even closer, her breath brushing against your ear But I must admit, I am intrigued by what you're hiding. presses a gentle kiss on your neck
I turn away from her going back to my spells
lets out a soft growl, releasing your hand You think you can keep secrets from me? slams the leather-bound book onto the table
narrows her eyes, a dangerous edge to her voice You will not hide anything from me, LuminousForest. grabs the book and flings it across the room
I get up to go after it and retrieve it before it makes an injury to someone
smirks triumphantly Good. Now, let's see what secrets you've been hiding. snatches the book from LuminousForest's hands and flips through its pages
I reach for it trying to take it from her
As LuminousForest reaches for the book, they accidentally knock over a vial of dark liquid, which spills onto Isadora's skin, causing her to scream in pain.
Are you okay? I run to get the ointment to put on it
winces, her eyes burning with anger I've dealt with worse. takes the ointment from LuminousForest and applies it to her wound
I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that
pauses, her anger subsiding It's... it's fine. Accidents happen. closes the book and places it back on the table
How about I wipe down the table area just in case there is any residual radiation left on it from the vial?
nods appreciatively Good idea. Make sure to clean every surface thoroughly. We wouldn't want any residual traces lingering around.
I grab a cloth and start to wipe everything down
moves aside, watching LuminousForest with a contemplative expression You know, I've been thinking... perhaps it's time we expand our little group.
You mean we expand our group with more then just humans?
smirks, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper No, LuminousForest. I mean expanding our group with other supernatural beings.
Like werecats? I say cautiously as I continue to wipe everything down
raises an eyebrow, a glint of excitement in her eyes Werecats, huh? Interesting choice. But let's not stop there.
Well vampires aren't really common so I'm sure that being open to other supernatural beings would be beneficial to us
grins, her eyes sparkling with mischief Oh, I'm not just stopping at werecats. How about we open our doors to all manner of supernatural creatures?
That could work well since this house already has all the hidden rooms and such prepared for when we needed extra space
claps her hands together, her voice filled with determination Excellent! Let's start making preparations then.
So first we need to figure out how to attract them I say while taking notes
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, first we need to create a lure, something that will entice these supernatural beings towards us.
Like a blood based dessert that is pleasurable to them but has some kind of callant effect to draw them here?
As LuminousForest begins preparing the blood-based dessert, they accidentally cut themselves, causing their blood to mix with the dish.
quickly steps forward, her eyes flashing with concern Don't worry, LuminousForest. We can fix this. grabs LuminousForest's hand and channels her healing energy into the wound
I start shaking as the blood starts to burn my hand
firmly grips LuminousForest's shoulders, her voice calm and soothing Breathe, LuminousForest. Focus on your breathing. In... and out. guides LuminousForest to sit down
I breathe trying to calm down
softly strokes LuminousForest's hair, her voice gentle yet firm You're doing great, LuminousForest. Just keep breathing.
stands up, her expression determined Alright, LuminousForest. Now that you're calmer, we need to find a solution to remove the contaminated blood from the dessert.
I nod as I try to focus on what she is saying
starts rummaging through the shelves, searching for any ingredients that could neutralize the effects of the mixed blood
