"Who are you to come in here like this?" he said to Aaron, and the vampire did nothing but return his evil glare. Only his was more effecient than the drunken man he had seized by the wrist. "What do you even want here, to take my Emma?" he continued.
Aaron sighed once and his grip around Ethan's arm tightened. The pain it caused him, made him break free of Emma's grasp - unwilling to hear the reason in her words - and hit her across the face. Aaron looked over at Emma and frowned. Who was he to come between him and his prey? Who was he to think he stood a chance. Aaron could snap his wrist with one hand and kill him as easy as snapping his fingers.

"You are not allowed here anymore, I've had enough of you!" finally Tabitha had come to aid and saw to it that Ethan was banned from her establishments.
Ethan seemed not to have understood what was going on, and stood there in his drunken stupor like an oaf, and tried to comprehend what had transpired.
Aaron grabbed him by his collar with his one hand, threw a few coins over to the innkeeper and said: "This is for the trouble. Sorry madam."
Then he pushed Ethan out the door and watched him as he landed face first in the mud. Aaron bared his fangs, but since the man was facing away from him, he couldn't see. As he picked him up and caught scent of his breath, Aaron frowned at the idea of feeding on him. His blood would taste dreadful; fouled by the alcohol.
"Leave now, and I'll let you live." Aaron whispered in Ethan's ear, making it all the more intimidating. Ethan trembled under the closed fist on his collar, and nodded slowly. He looked towards Emma once and it almost seemed like a tear was forming in the corner of his eye. Then Aaron released him and let him be on his way.
Ethan trodded off with heavy, uneven steps.

As if he had appeared out of nowhere, he stood in front of the young girl and lifted her face up by her chin. "Look at me," he commanded gently and looked at her face, with what was supposed to look like concern. "It'll be okay." he said and tried a smile, careful not to let her see the fangs. It was a thing he had to do often since his personality commanded him to smile a lot. "If you want me to, I'll make sure he never...troubles you again." Aaron's black orbs fixed on hers as he said it, his voice cold. "Are you alright my lady?"
