Exo blinks and chuckles. "I keep forgetting you need more then Vampire blood to survive." He looks at his clothes. "Maybe I should go get changed first, however, if I am going out into public?" He pats his vest and shirt. "Dunno if the good people of London want to see a pirate walk down the streets..."

She chuckles softly. "I should probably change as well. Maybe at least brush my hair and not look all distraught, though I could care less what others think. I know of a good cafe down the road. David has taken me there a time or two. They are a night place, serve a little bit of everything. Vegan place. I think soup with some bread or a salad would be good." She smiles
"This isn't date either." She eyes him with a smile. "You have to look after you charge after all." She waits for him to leave before she changes.

"I would need David's permission before it was a date..." he says softly with a smile as he turns for the door. "And Maria may have say about what goes on..." He chuckles as he heads out and towards his room to change. Adopting his usual comfortable black jeans, a white tank and a black hoodie, he wraps the black bandanna around his forehead to cover up his eye with a sigh. He'd been getting comfortable with having it out...but knew that ultimately it needed to be put away.

Aisha shut the door and grabbed a pair of old jeans herself and a flowing tee shirt.
She wondered if she would even be able to eat, she had tried multiple times but stuck to sucking down on potions which really was no way for her to survive. She didn't think David would have an issue with Exo taking her to get some food. She really would be rather thin when he got back if she didn't eat soon. Eventually even magic wouldn't be able to keep her functioning.
She headed down the stairs and leaned against the door to the garden. Looking at Shiva. She said a silent prayer, though she wasn't doing her devotions as she should, a pray didn't hurt. She sighed and looked up to the stars. She wondered if David was looking at the same stars. If he was still even on this side of the world. The world was so vast, he could be anywhere and when he called the number wouldn't be able to be tracked, she knew that without having to look. Standing there she waited for Exo.

Exo came down the stairs and walked up behind her. "Ready to go?" he asks as he moves next to her and looks out at the garden. "It's a quiet night...peaceful." He smiles and let's her lead them to wherever it was they were going.

"Like a calm before a storm. I don't have a good feeling." She said quietly. "Could just be everything else going on." She mumbled under her breath as they walked out the front door.
"So how long have you lived?" She asked as they walked down the road to the night cafe back by her place.

"Lived? I was in my early twenties when I was embraced..." he gave her a smirk to let her know he was teasing. "I've been walking the earth for almost five hundred years. I usually stick to Europe. I nomad around a lot." He looks over at her. "And you?"

She looks at him. "Why Europe if you are Korean?" She asked idly. Then she pushed him off the sidewalk.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to ask a woman's age?" She chuckles softly.
"Why do you wander so much? Don't you want a home? Can't that be lonely?" She continues on.

He let's her push him and chuckles, shaking his head. "My mother? I barely remember her. My sire I remember better. And no...she didn't." He got back on the sidewalk, falling into step. "Europe has...a lot of culture. A lot of places. A lot of...various things. I feel I am needed here. And as for wandering? A home? My pack is my home. We found each other because of how much I wandered. First Mary and myself, then Erskine, then the others. And we kept moving to wherever we were needed. Last Rites has been around a long time..."

"So you have no stable place that is yours? Just the people around you and where they go you go. That is your home." She smiled. "That isn't bad. At least home is with the people you love." She smiled as they walked.
"Did your sire have the same physical presentation as you do?" She was referring to his third eye without actually mentioning it out in public.

He nods. "She did. All of those who learn the power that I have gain the presentation, as you put it. Goes back generations....almost back to the beginning really..." He taps his forehead. "And developing it takes time..."

"Must be a really long time." She said quietly.
"Why does it take so long?" She was curious. "Five centuries seems like a long time to learn something, or develop something. In the natural world of things, that is beyond the life of even some of the oldest trees that are not bound with magic."

"Oh this didn't take five centuries. No...I learned and developed this rather quickly. My sire was...adamant about that." He shrugs. "Others it takes some time because the theories behind what I do can be....baffling. Where David is a singer and his allows his voice to do a number of things...mine has more...faith behind it."

"What sort of faith?" She asked as they made their way to the small cafe, she smiled at him and went and sat at a small table outside on the street. The waitress came and took her order and looked at Exo.
She wasn't sure if he would order anything just to seem as though he was mortal or not. So she left it up to him.

"I'll just have a tea, thank you." He says with an easy smile and as the waitress walks away, he sits back. "Well...that's a bit hard to explain without going to deeply into our...culture. But suffice to say that my people even are given names when they are embraced. And those names are always angelic."

She watched as the waitress left and came back with their drinks.
"Angelic? Like the christain version of heavenly?" She asked him drinking her own cup of tea.

He nods as he idly stirs his tea. "Indeed. Most names end in -iel. I have one as well. I just don't use it because it paints a target on my back." He chuckles. "My sire named me...and if I ever embrace, I would name my childe."

"Why would it paint a target on your back? Are you being hunted for reasons?" She asked him and then went quite when her soup was brought out to her.
She waited until the waitress left again. "So your real name isn't Exo?" She added.

Once the waitress was gone, he chuckled. "There are some who do not like my kind. It has to do with my ancestors...and nothing I do will change things. But no...Exo was the name I took on after I hooked up with Maria and her sire. I have a mortal name...and my angelic name. But Exo is what I took to be mine. And it is me..."

She nods in understanding not wanting to press the issue as it seemed to not be one he wanted to go in depth with. She took a sip of her soup. She made a face at the soup and sighed. It hit her stomach and she didn't want it suddenly and she pushed the bowl back. It was to salty as it was.
She picked up her tea and sipped on that instead. "So how long have you know Maria for then?" She asked quietly.

"After my sire went into torpor, I was looking to just keep moving. Ran into them one night...four centuries or so ago. Traveled with her and her sire for some time before it was just her and I. They brought me into the Sabbat, treated me like family...and noting better could've happened to me. Maria and I...its like you and David. Its more then just the blood...and nothing can change that."

She nods and listened to what Exo was telling her, she picked at the bread for a few moments as she sipped her tea.
"I am glad you have someone like I have David." She says quietly. Watching a few people move around here and there.
"So Mary's stories about times past, you were there for them? The pirate days?"

Exo nods. "Some. There are some that pre-date me. But yes...I was there. I sailed with them and learned a lot. About kindred, mortals, the world. The open sea at night with a good wind at your back? There aren't to many thing sweeter..."

She set her tea down and listened to the way he spoke about the seas, the wind, the sailing of the old days. "So I guess you understand the draw for David to the sea then." She wipes a tear away that fell. "Rene, taking him to the sea to be pirates or whatever." Her voice was a bit shaky.
"I can't ever compete with the way you all speak about times long ago. I wasn't around during that time. I am not a sea type of person. I prefer the skies." She smiles softly looking up at the stars, the clouds moving by.
"I guess land and sea may meet in places..but" She stopped herself before going on. The sea and land...never being of one....one always conquering the other. Never finding peace between the two. It seemed to break her heart even more.

"The land and sea? Maybe not. But the sky and the sea..." He smiles. "When you are out there...and all you can see is water for miles...you know what you always see? The sky. Above you...behind you and ahead of you where they kiss one another. The land and sea maybe not...but the sky and sea can always come together."

She looks up at Exo as he speaks. "I never.." She wipes her eyes ad smiles softly. "I never quite thought of it that way." She finishes her tea and looks at her food. It was mostly untouched but she put money on the table for the bill anyway.
"Thank you." She stands. "Shall we head back before they send a search party out?" She chuckles softly.

Exo drops a few extra pounds for his tea and nods. "Yes...we should." He turned and started to lead her back to the house. "And we might have things from our past that we remember and get nostalgic about? But we've grown to cherish here and now. Don't forget that."

She nods her head in understanding as they make their way back towards the house. Nostalgia was something she could understand and relate to. She would have to remember that she thought to herself as they walked in silence on the way back.
Her thoughts wandered to David. Wondering where he was, how he was doing?
