As he felt the gentle breeze tousle his hair, Nicholas took a deep lungful of it. There was nothing better than the great outdoors.
He felt his trenchcoat flicker a little in the wind.

A slight movement caused his senses to peak, as he felt something silky soft slip against his palm.He looked down, to see that, there, sitting within his large, dexterous hand, was Cora's own. Perfectly fitted.
His stomach fluttered. And he cleared his throat, a little scared of what he had just felt.
Emotions were something Vampires found quite abnormal.

"Thank-you, Nicholas Redgrave." The small voice that came out of Cora's lips met Nicholas' ear.
He was taken back by what he had just heard.
Thank-you? Noone had ever said those words to him before, and he wasn't quite sure what the appropriate response was.

And so all he did was nod. He sqeezed her hand a little, and looked out, across the meadows in front of the academy.
For a few moments, he said nothing. He just allowed Cora to enjoy the sights, the breeze, the wonderful freedom.

"It's a long way home, i'm afraid." He said to her, after a short while.
In the distance, he was sure his eyes detected the slight movement of a deer between the tree trunks. His nostrils flared slightly.
"I could carry you."
