Thread: Precarious Vampiric Encounters ((HaloHeroWolf118 and Miss Alyss))

Belamine lightly stiffened to the question of a picture of her husband. In truth, she had no pictures of the man she claimed was her husband and all others of her family were paintings hidden off in a box. Lightly turning to Edric, she nodded to his words and did her best to keep her expression straight. Sadly we didnt have any pictures with us when we came to America. They dont let you take much on the ships if you come over how most immigrants tend to. She lightly crossed her arms and flicked her eyes across the room. I wasnt able to send for more of my things until later, and at that point he was already gone so I didnt want any of him sent over. Though the family portraits I do have I keep in the back. Her eyes perked up as he mentioned sleeping, watching him sprawl out in a chair. Lightly tapping her finger against her lips, she quickly walked into the back room that served as her bedroom. Opening a drawer of a heavy dresser, Belamine pulled out a knitted quilt and grabbed the one off of the little bed she pretended to sleep on. After all, she wouldnt need any blankets to stay warm at night. Exiting the little room, she walked over to where Edric was sitting and tossed the blankets on the day sofa across from the chair. You can use these and sleep here. I know youre taller than it but it must be more comfortable than that chair. She said lightly pointing to the seat he had taken. In her blood she knew that it was getting later for humans and assumed that Edric would begin to get tired. Lightly going to the wood stove in the kitchen area, Belamine stoked the coals with a few hefty pieces of wood that quickly sparked the flame anew. Setting a pot beside the stove, she motioned at the pitcher of water and a various collection of tea and a tin of coffee on a shelf. If you need anything to drink in the night, help yourself. She said politely before turning to Edric. I fear we should retire for the night so we can get an early start to the day. Im sure that Pennyworths men wont rise with the sun due to their drunken festivities tonight. Lightly bowing her head to Edric, Belamine stood in the doorway of her bedroom and paused before shutting the door. If you need anything, just knock. Stepping inside her room, Belamine lightly shut the door and waited to hear the metal gears click into place. Waving her hand in the room, a lantern quickly sprang to life and lit the room. There was the dresser on one wall with the small bed on the opposite wall close to the door, a changing screen in the back corner of the room. It was small but she didnt mind. Her true bed was hidden underneath the small building in the foundation. Stepping behind the screen, she easily untied the strings that kept her dress tight around her torso, letting it fall to the floor once she was finished. Working her way out of her skirts, Belamine kept her corset on and a simple slip over her legs. Pulling a typical Victorian nightgown over her body, she quietly picked up a book from a wall shelf and sat on the bed, waving her hand to extinguish the lantern. Her ice blue eyes began to scan the words on the page, using the moonlight to read inconspicuously throughout the night.
