It was a dim and smoky atmosphere. The sound of chitchat and low music filled the small pub, people conversing at tables, and others alone at the bar, drinking their sorrows away. Alone at the end of the bar, a small young Elf woman sat, content in writing in a book she had with her. Condensation encircled the glass of rum beside her, the tiny sound of the ice collapsing in the glass that was half empty. There were many different people here, each with their own noticed and unnoticed appearances. The small lady had hers too.

White hair, highlighted with faded streaks of orange and the ends dyed black covered her head in a shortish fashion, long bangs in front and slightly chopped in the back. Two circular earrings pierced through her top cartilage of her pointed ears also glistened distinctively. She stood just less than five feet in height. A turtleneck type collar wrapped around her neck, but her shoulders were bare. The rest of the unusual sweater continued from just below her shoulders and came down past her waist, covering most of her dangerously short, green skirt, the two baby blue pieces connected by two small straps in the front and none in the back, leaving the loose garment to show her soft tan shoulder blades.

Her equally smooth thighs flowed down into a pair of black leggings, and then a pair of knee high heavy boots of sharp and polished black leather. And there was a navy blue across-the-shoulder purse type bag slung to one side from the opposite shoulder, the rectangular shaped bah resting at her hip. The petite woman sat casually, her reading glasses in place as she wrote, crimson eyes expressing a tired and soft mood. Her small hands barely showed from the oversized sleeves of her top, and two distinct patches were sewn in on her sleeves, at the elbow on the right, and down the forearm on the left.

Though her attire was unusual and bold, she was well mannered and very proper in appearance, a very nice girl who seemed easy to talk to. Pausing, she set her pen down and took a sip of her drink, black painted lips touching the rim. She set the glass down gently. Those red eyes glanced down, noticing the spot of water on the bar counter, and she reached for a napkin and placed it down, resting her glass on top of it and the now soaked up puddle. She smiled softly in thought, staring at her shaken glass as it settled, and then returned to her book, picking up her pen and writing some more.

Humans hung out in the weirdest, most pointless places ever. Where was the fun in sitting around, drinking stuff?? Aside from the occasional fight, taverns were incredibly boring.
At least in Hell when demons thought to gather, there was bloodshed and death.
Far more exciting than this.
So why was he here...?

Well, unfortunately, Hell was not such a great place for him to be right now, with his father Cerberus trying to kill him and all...
That, and right now, he was stuck in the form of a half-human.

Blade had walked in the door unnoticed, and stared bleakly around the dark, smokey interior. His hair reflected his once proud pelt, white and thick, falling just a bit below his shoulders. His eyes were still their usual, deep crimson, but were now set into the face of a man. His features were well defined, not that he knew that or cared. His skin (much to his amusement) was smooth and rather tanned. He shrugged a bit in the black button-up shirt he had stolen from some man outside, still unused to the constriction of clothing. His pants were a buckskin brown color, a bit worn, and also taken from some other person. His black boots had a similar history.
Hey, wolves didn't wear clothes, alright??

Stalking through the crowds, Blade only got glancing looks, his footsteps oddly silent. Though it wasn't odd for him. He had always walked quietly. He was a hunter. Changing directly suddenly, he calmly walked up behind the small female, interested in the strange handmovements she was making.
Looking of her shoulder, hands in his pockets (what a neat invention...) he watched as she scratched lines into the book. Ah, she was...writing? Yeah, he believed that's what it was called.
He tilted his head, never having learned to read since...well...beast demons don't write.

"What're you writing?"

A soft tingle surged through her tiny form, the close presence of someone watching over her. She shifted as little in her heat, her writing slowing to a stop just as the man spoke. Her pointed ears lowered just a little, not expecting someone to be so bold and stand so close to her. Not many did...none, actually. Most people made an effort to keep their distance, depressing really... But she was accustomed to it, though it still made her sad. So for this stranger to stand so close, she shivered, eyes soft eyes widening just a bit, and she sat up straight, pulling away from her book.

To her surprise, she had pressed into the close person while straightening, pausing at the uncommon feeling. Slowly, she peeked up at the direction of the voice, sopping with the man's face in view. Her cheeks flushed and she couldn’t bring herself to speak. Her glasses slid down her nose as she gazed up at the man, those crimson eyes slightly surprised and now somewhat shy. The small Elf had completely forgotten about the question, her pen idle in her hand.

Apparently she had sensed his presence long before he said anything, for her writing slowed to a stop. Then again, he was standing very, very close. He just didn't really have any concept of personal space.
Part of his demon wolf upbringing. They greeted each other with lots of touch and licking. It was an integral part of their life.

Then she straightened, and bumped into him, but he thought nothing of it and didn't move an inch. A smirk grew on his face as she looked up at him slowly, his still-pointed canine showing on one side.
As it became apparent she was at a loss for words, Blade calmly tapped her on the forehead with one index finger.
"Hello? Anybody home?"

Anonymous

She snapped from her daze when he tapped her forehead and she blinked. She then turned in her stool, moving her back away from his chest, but her arm was still against him. Why was he so close?? She looked at him with her head straight now, not like the angle she was at from their last position. Still slightly wary, she allowed herself to be touched since he wasn’t backing off, and she just stared at him again, her glasses falling lower. He was smiling now. He found her amusing?? That’s right...she was acting unusual... Why though?? Those soft eyes watched him as she tried to force words out. Black lips began moving timidly, but no sound came out yet.

"I-I...um..." her voice finally came. "...Y-yes...?" she asked, her voice soft and gentle, but hardly naive sounding. He was tall. Her neck was craned because he was literally against her. Her cheeks were warm and her heart flittered a bit. Finally, her eyes slowly glanced down at his body touching hers so nonchalantly, and then she returned her curious gaze back to him, not sure what to do with her nervous hand and arm that rested against him.

Well.
He wasn't used to rendering a person speechless when he was being civil. Maybe that was a hint to his inner personality...?
Oh well, her lack of words amused him, and finally he chuckled as she forced some out.
She totally hadn't heard him.
Oh well.

Calmly reaching over her, he grabbed the book and opened it, holding it before his face, as if reading it. "I guess I'll just have to figure out what you were writing myself then." He bluffed, having not a clue what the marks on the paper meant.
But she didn't know that.
He payed no heed to the arm pressed against his stomach, which was firm with muscle. Well, at least that hadn't changed when he turned into a human...
He had always been a muscular wolf.

He was chuckling now. This only made her blush more for some reason. Why the hell was she acting so strange?? And for that matter, why was he so close??? A-and so carefree about it?? He still hadn’t answered her... He pressed closer to her then and it took her a moment, which wasn’t like her, to figure out what he was doing. Her book was now in his possession and she meeped, dropping her pen and quickly reached up for the book after he had opened and started reading. When her hand took hold, she realized his grip on the book and right away knew she couldn't get it back so easily. So she just held it, pulling on it slightly as he read, not wanting to damage her book, but not wanting it to be read. Why wasn’t she stopping him?? What had he done to her?? "W-wait...please..." she squeaked ever so softly, her voice timid and unusually calm at the same time. The small Elf crawled to her knees on the stool to stand a little taller and grabbed onto his wrist for balance, originally meaning to reach up and cover the pages. She was kind of cute in her actions, not really meaning to be. She was taken by surprise, and she wasn’t used to that. This wasn’t like her.

Obviously he did not release the book when she grabbed it, his hands thick and strong as it was. His smirk grew, and he stole a glance at her wide-eyed face just to see her reaction.
Apparently whatever was written in the book was important to her.

As she rose up on her knees, he still did not move, feeling her fingers clasp around his thick wrist. "Aw, but this is fun." He retorted to her plee to stop, but his voice wasn't particularly malicious.
He lifted the book, and subsequently his arms, which pulled her arms up as well, pressing her against him once again. He blinked down into her face.
"Is it important? What you wrote?" His voice was exceedingly calm, his eyes the color of dark blood, freshly spilled.
There was a large black scar on his forhead, half hidden by the bangs of his white hair, it's shape that of a dagger.
Unknown to her was that these nasty, thick black scars ran all over his body.
A...'keepsake' from home.

"F-fun...?" she repeated, frowning just a tad. Her eyes didn’t leave his though and she calmed as he read, though it was embarrassing having a stranger read that art of her novel. Oh god...why now... She blushed more. Then he stared raising his arms and she went with, trying to keep her balance and inevitably being pulled against him, her chest against him. He heart raced and those usually calm and tired eyes were slightly wide again with embarrassment. She immediately knew he did that on purpose. He...WANTED her against him??? She didn’t know whether to be offended or flattered. Then she realized people were beginning to stare. Her eyes wandered the bar real quick, catching the eyes of the few that stared. Her ears tipped back and two rings were looped through the top bridge of each ear.

What were they all thinking?? She was beginning to worry herself now. Looking back up at him almost pleadingly under her mostly soft expression, she took a deep breath and exhaled, waiting patiently for him to finish, wondering how bad he was going to make fun of her scene in her book. Then she remembered she was still against him and tried not to think about it. Oh god...why couldn’t she bring herself to beat him over the head right now?? Wait...didn’t he say something to her?? She thought for a moment. Finally, she spoke, eyes staring at his chest before planting her forehead into him softly, her glasses, being pushed around. "Y-yes...please..." her hands trembled slightly. "C-could you give it back now...?" she asked timidly. She breathed in his scent jus then and her cheeks flushed more. W-was she...a-attracted to him???? She was stunned by the though.

He was amused when she didn't release either his wrist or her book, even though with his arms extended she was now against his firm chest. The smirk had never left his face, for this little creature was far too amusing. As for the others in the bar? Blade couldn't have cared less about them.
If anyone tried anything, they'd probably end up bleeding profusely.
He wasn't worried.

He blinked though as she hid her face against him, but it wasn't terribly weird to him either. She was probably just getting a gauge on his scent...
So it was important...
He wished he could read.
Finally he laughed. "Oh alright, don't cry." And with that, he dropped the book into her gripping hand and then lowered his arms, wondering if she'd stay where she was.

He then leaned down, whispering in her ear.
"You know...I can't read..."
There, the joke was revealed, which was half the fun when the other person didn't know they were being made fun of.

Finally! She got her book back! Pulling it to herself, she thanked him softly, her head pulling away to look at him again. He continued to lower his arms and she fidgeted a bit for balance, unable to get down just yet. But he was coming closer... Suddenly, his face was against t hers and he whispered. Her spine shivered and her eyes dimmed as she held back a soft gasp. Her ears were tipped still and her hand clung to the shirt on his chest. Than she grasped what he said. C-can't read???? She felt humiliated now for making a scene, but then she realized there was nothing she could have done about it. This man was definitely strange... "Uh-...", she timidly backed her face away, still holding onto him, and met his face. Her gasses were hanging low and she couldn't pull their faces any further apart. This was awkward... Her eyes were surprised and her cheeks rosy on her tan skin. "You..." she paused, heart flittering at their close faces. Her eyes softened again and she calmed a little. "...I hate you..." she whispered calmly, almost playfully in tone, but still gentle and shy.

Blade was a bit amused by the hand now clinging to his shirt. For as nervous as she seemed, she sure was touching him alot. Of course, he totally didn't get that it might be because she was attracted to him.
That sort of thing just didn't often cross his mind, oddly enough.

After what she said, he actually laughed, showing the inside of his mouth to be...black? The roof of his mouth and his gums were black. His tongue held a natural color, but...
Why would a man have that sort of coloring...?
He waved off what she said. "Ah, you're one of many."
He then took the strange article hanging off her nose, her glasses, and held them up. Things on the other side of the lenses were strange and contorted, and he grinned.
"What the hell are these things?? And what are they for? They make everything look strange."

Anonymous

He laughed at her gain... She would have frowned, but she caught a glimpse of his black throat and blinked curiously. One of many, huh? She would have replied, but right when she opened her mouth to speak, he took her classes. She blinked innocently as he looked at her through them. She was dumbfounded at his reaction and started to wonder. He definitely wasn’t normal. Hmm. She was extremely curious now. She sighed and pondered on an explanation for him, returning mostly back to her calm and cool self. "Um...you see...Whatever distortion it gives your eyes...that’s how I see without them, about. They are to correct my vision." Strangely, his innocence was cute, in a rude carefree way. She let him get his fill of them, closing her book against her chest and gazing at him while he wasn’t looking. "...What are you...?" he forced herself to ask softly out of the blue, wondering why he enjoyed being so close...and why she liked it.

He arched a white brow at her explination. Yep, humanoids were definately strange. They needed stuff like this to see right? Weird. He placed them back on her nose. "Seriously? Man, that is so weird..."
Personally, he had awesome vision, and an even better sense of smell.
But then again, that was just the wolf in him.
Speaking of what was in him...

He blinked down at her as she asked about his species, having rested his hands on his hips for lack of a better place to put them.
"Well, I was a wolf demon, but now I'm stuck in this stupid half-human body." He responded, clicking his teeth together a few times in distaste, those sharp canines again visable, as well as glimpses of his black throat. It was a very similar black to the blade-shaped scar in is forehead.
"Well, since you asked, I get to do the same. What are you?" And with that he flicked at one of her pointed ears. Not human, definately...

Anonymous

"Seriously." She repeated, agreeing with him. Weird? Well, she couldn’t argue. She didn’t like them either. He put them back on her face and she blushed again. She listened to his response, intrigued. Wolf demon, huh? Trapped in a HALF human body? Hmm... Again, her glasses slid down, and she left them, She was used to them doing that, and ignored it. It was then that she noticed his forehead and the scar. She stared at it for a moment, but didn’t want to ask at the moment. Now he was asking her...and flicked her ear. She winced a little, jerking her head just a bit. "D-don’t do that...!" she squeaked softly. "They're...sensitive..." she mumbled. "And no, I am not human. I'm an Elf." She told, pausing for a moment. "...So, what are you doing here...?" she asked curiously, trying to make conversation. The people had left them alone by now, keeping to themselves. It wasn’t worth it in this cluttered bar to pay attention to people like her. Though, there were the occasional people whispering rude comments to their companions about the man talking to her. Like he was infected now, because of the strange girl.

He blinked alittle, not used to someone being so delicate. Then again, ears usually were sensitive, but he was just playing around...
Gah, damn delicate humanoids...
He simply nodded at her answer. "I have no idea what an elf is." And he didn't sound like he cared what it was, either.
"It's a scar from my father. It's where I got the name Blade, because it looks like a dagger." He answered her unspoken curiosity with a smirk. "They're all over my body from when I escaped hell..."

And that was it, the whispering, obvious to his acute hearing, was getting annoying. Without warning he craned his head around to face the majority of the people.
"FUCK OFF!" He literally roared, a belch of flame actually escaping his mouth as he said it.
Well.
That ought to shut them up for awhile.
He turned back to the girl and cracked his neck.
"Right...what were we talking about?"

Anonymous

Heh... She didn’t mind the way he answered really, but was a little curious when he brought up the scar. It was actually a little amusing, being named after a scar. Blade, huh? He continued to explain and her curiousness grew as she tried to hide it in her expression. Hell?? Just the thought of that was unusually alluring about him. Wait, he said he escaped? Hmm... She wondered why now, but before she could ask, Blade, he turned away and made a scene. She shivered when he yelled suddenly, not so much bothered by the flames, though it was more to me curious about. A being from hell...very interesting.

But wait! Everyone was staring now! Well...they WERE staring. Everyone either quickly quieted and looked away, or left the bar. She was slightly on the spot now... Now she wanted to hide under a rock... She stared at him innocently as he turned back to her and spoke. It took her a moment to reply. "L-lets chat somewhere a little more private..." she suggested meekly, sliding off the stool now. She left money for her drink, grabbed her stuff and took his hand, taking his much larger form with her as she slinked out of the bar calmly.

Once outside, she strolled down the street with him in hand, stopping a little way down and sighing softly, her hand holding his still. He gazed at their hands, then up at him slowly. "I appreciate what you did back there...but...I don’t think it helped..." she said calmly, her eyes now shifting way from him. "And I apologize for pulling you out of there...I should have just left on my own..." she continued, her eyes cool and tired.  "I'm Trankwin, by the way." She introduced, feeling it necessary since he told her his name. Her eyes drifted to their hands again and she blushed. She didn’t let go though. She just stood there, completely thrown off by this unusual man. It was a very new experience.
