“Your pity is unnecessary. I am Draven. This one truly is called Hailey, and we have another lurking in the forest.” Kirenai continued looking down impassively. And...? “Our homes were destroyed by hybrids, and we come seeking temporary arrangements." And there. The reason why the ragtag band of homeless folk came to his mansion. Kirenai was opening his mouth to refuse when Delilah interupted him.

"Why don't we let them stay?" The vampire's lips turned downwards as his human Bond suggested place where they could sleep. Of course. That was just the kind of person his human was. Kirenai, on the otherhand, was not nearly as generous. But, for Delilah's sake, he would consider it.

Kirenai weighed the two options in his head as the third member of the party showed himself. Yes or no...? The hybrids could have followed that injured one's blood trail. But it would be nice to have other vampires in his debt. However, did he want someone else intruding on his privacy? Hell no. The vampric community would hate him more than ever if he refused, but since when did he care about what they had to say? Since Kirenai had to worry about them coming and attacking Delilah. The vampire's frown deepened to the point where someone might actually notice it.

What to do...? Kirenai didn't want that Draven fellow in his house. The guy might be as tall as himself, and he couldn't handle that. But anyways, the other vampire seemed to be a lot like Kirenai. Sure, they were opposites physically, but Draven seemed to be as sure of himself as Kirenai. They were both Alphas, as Kirenai's werewolf would put it.

He turned to Delilah. "Honestly I am at a loss. These people will probably bring mounds of trouble if we let them in, but the vampric community will hate us even more if we refuse. Also, the hybrids might follow them here. So knowing this, what say you Delilah?"
