Thread: A Bloody Cause ( Ava & Valanaer)

It wasn't ridiculous to assume he was lying but on this occasion he wasn't joking and if she really took a good look at his face she would realize just how serious he was. For a moment she seemed to convince herself he was jesting but eventually she just went silent, deciding that helping to his feet and thinking it over silently was the better option, a scary thing indeed when the chatty Vampire stopped speaking. Seth didn't push the issue though and reached his hands up and accepted her help, suddenly not worrying so much about having to be close to this specific person, his pride being momentarily thrown aside in favor of trying to figure out if she was in fact the girl he had met when he was younger. When she focused on getting him out again he didn't feel bad, it was the same as before and he knew that but that didn't mean he had forgotten about the memories both of them had, he was continuing to look at her as he stumbled a bit to his feet before finding his balance. It seemed that, while it hurt quite bad, he could support his own weight which was a start, not exactly where he would have liked to have been at but progress for a wound inflicted with a silver blade and in such a crucial spot. So he smiled a bit and nodded his head, getting closer to thanking her but still not actually saying the words themselves. For some reason Seth wanted to delve deeper into her concerns and try and convince her they had met before, whether it be because he simply wanted to know that friend wasn't a made up dream or because it made their situation more tolerable but he wanted it to be confirmed. We may have different lives now but we still live in the same world Gabriella... He spoke her name for the first time since he had arrived, calling her something other than you or Vampire and finding the words almost pleasant on his tongue as opposed to the vile taste he had expected when he heard of her VanBuran blood. It seemed that to make her truly feel comfortable he would have to answer a few questions though, her voice soft and hesitant as she asked him the color of her dress on the night in question. He wasn't going to stop their though and so he smiled and answered with a bit extra, If I recall correctly it was a cute little blue dress covered in twigs and leaves from the Forrest. You came barefoot as well. His answer was confident if anything, his memory of the time being rather hard to believe but remarkably clear. Seth didn't say anything after that but instead released her hands and kept his balance on his own, taking a few shaky steps before beginning to feel the effect and this stopping, standing still to regain his balance. It seemed his loss of blood from the wound combined with its severity were not going to allow him any real speed but he could at the very least move a tab and with the help of Gabriella, if she still wanted anything to do with him, or the wall and he would be able to get a bit of distance, the move to her bedchambers being rather easy, escaping though would still be impossible. He turned his head to look at her once his few steps were done, his eyes scanning her face for signs of what she thought and finally he spoke, having to know what she was thinking, So... Do you believe me or am I just amazingly lucky when it comes to guessing?
