"I see..." The vampire was pleased to hear she was not entirely alone despite her rarity, a thought he filed away to the back of his mind to discuss with Lucas at a later time. Perhaps she might do better with a friend or two eventually. A rumbling snigger of delight bubbled up his throat as he lifted his hand to catch her by her muzzle, tilting her head this way and that to study her rather clinically. There was something a little...off about her that he just couldn't pinpoint, but he chalked it up to not being very familiar with seeing her.
Kynton, however, had noticed the change to her eyes. He was tense as he watched them, wondering if the vampire had done something to her with his presence, though he did not want to bark his judgments and displeasure at the man while he quite literally held her life in his hands. Instead, a soft hiss of concern from him caught the vampire's attention.
Akakios looked between Bella and Kynton with amusement, chuckling under his breath as he caught the other man's eye. "You think I will harm her," he pointed out, a bold guess but one he was quite certain of. He tightened his grip on the unicorn just slightly to test that.
Kynton narrowed his eyes sharply, his hiss growing as he moved to pull Bella away and place himself between her and the vampire. "Don't handle her like that...please," he growled, softening his features and voice as he tried to remember that he likely didn't have much say in the whole matter. Still, it seemed important that he stood up for her.
Akakios relented at least, dropping his hand away to rest upon his thigh and only further amused by Kynton's desire to throw his weight around. "I will give you both some time to settle in, but you will need to learn that there are certain things expected of you here," he reminded him firmly, unable to keep a spark of hunger from his eyes as he leaned to peer around him and look at Bella again.
