"How long can you stay for?"

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 18:08

"Until it gets dark."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 19:10

"Lloyd doesn't have any homework to do?"

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 19:15

"I told him to do it before we came over."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 19:21

Jean-Claude nodded quietly.

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 19:23

She kissed his cheek.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 19:30

Jean-Claude kissed her head. "I'm going to dress."

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 19:32

"Okay."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 20:39

Jean-Claude stood slowly and stretched before walking towards his discarded clothes.

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 20:44

Coraline watched him.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 20:49

Jean-Claude slowly and lazily started to get dressed.

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 20:51

She smiled to herself as she watched him.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 21:00

Jean-Claude pulled his shirt on and left it unbuttoned, the rest of his clothes already on as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 21:02

She moved to sit behind him, and she gently massaged his shoulders.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 21:13

Jean-Claude leaned into her. "I wish you could come home tonight."

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 21:16

"So do I, but I will soon."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 21:28

"Not soon enough. What's stopping you?"

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 21:29

"Well, the fact that it is short notice for one."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 21:38

"I can help."

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 21:41

"Jean-Claude my brother doesn't trust you and neither does my mother."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 21:50

"They used to." Jean-Claude sighed. "Yet they trust your mother's partner?"

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 21:52

"Kale has proved himself." She told him. "You just have to do the same."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 22:01

"He tortured my sister within an inch of her life. I thought she would never wake up." Jean-Claude's voice was tight. "I don't understand how he's redeemed himself."

Vampire-Apprentice Fri 21 Feb - 22:04

"He looked after Lloyd when I was a work and you were away."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Fri 21 Feb - 22:11

Jean-Claude twitched and tried to loosen from where he'd tensed. "What...what if..." instead of sounding angry he sounded frightened.
