Snippet #2145138

Kane was amused by Matilda's thoughts on the newcomers. So they were favored by Lucas and were either relatives, very close friends, or both. Interesting. She suddenly started talking about Cylene. "Huh?" he muttered, wondering why she had switched subjects so quickly. "Well, vampires don't sleep do they? They just kinda chill out and take advantage of the darkness and make people sleep walk and..." he trailed off and looked ba k at the witch, who had asked what they'd been talking about. "Uh, I think it was something about sushi." he replied, wishing he had some right now. He loved gourmet food.

Cylene smiled a bit as Alice refused help, arguing that she needed the exercise. She chuckled a bit. The brunette turned and looked at the young girl then, a bit distressed. Given that they were human and not to be told what exactly their new neighbors were, she was a bit at a loss of what to say. "I've been awake for a bit. My family owns an orchard and I help out sometimes." She smiled sincerely, noticing that Sumi seemed confused again. Cylene had missed her previous comment to Ray as she'd been paying attention to Alice.

She smiled back as her as Alice commented on how pretty she was. Cylene herself thought that she was quite ordinary compared to others in the town, but it was always nice to hear a compliment from a stranger. "Why thank you and might I say the same for you and your brother."

She turned to see Lucas and James had joined them. She waved a bit, as James was not her favourite type of species. But he seemed honest and loyal enough which was why she didn't bother to try and pick a fight with him as she normally would with succubi.

"Do you have a boyfriend, Alice?" she asked, partially out of curiosity and partially for her own benefit of knowing how to protect her. "And what about you Raymond? Is there anyone from your town whom you fancy?"
