“Oh really? I thought you liked excitement… this place seems only to increase solitude,” Ambrose frowned again, looking at her. The wind was blowing again, thus once more the bitter-sweet smell of blood filled his mouth. He sighed, he was beginning to hear the faint sounds of cars a distance off, of course they still had a mile or more to walk, which would take a while before reaching anyplace worth staying the night in. Somehow, the thought of drinking her blood was out of the question, yet the thirst still lingered. He’d have to feed soon…. Perhaps he could feed on someone else and—no. No. No. No. No. A lamia did not just FEED on anyone, they did not just give up their prey! What was he thinking? Ah! That was it, he wasn’t thinking. There, problem solved, they needed to get to civilization so he could dine in peace! “By the way, how’s your foot?” Ambrose asked suddenly, eyeing her leg. She was walking normally enough, there was no sign of physical discomfort. Her thoughts were entirely focused on the conversation at hand (or, that is what he could feel). It was strange though, even deceptive humans would at least do something like this in an area they are comfortable with. Therefore, why was she alone on a beaten path between towns?

"I like excitement - and nature. It's hard to find the two together, so I compromise. I live out here when it's too cold or muggy to hike or site-see, and travel when I can." she smiled, as if she had been walking simply to get rid of her pent-up energy because of the crisp spring air. "My foot..." she mused, glancing at her foot in turn, and shifting it. "It's better, I think. Probably just a sprain," she said cooly, looking up at him with a believable smile. She gazed down the path, eyes scanning the landscape. They were about a mile away. Then she looked up, and smiled again - something about a certain star completely mystified her. It was obvious. "What would night look like if there were two moons?" she asked, completely out of the blue.

“Nature? Ugh,” Ambrose replied unintentially making a very uncool sound. He disliked nature, he preferred cities and high class society, it suited his mood better. “Hm, anyways, it’s good that your foot is fine, we have—er, probably have a ways to go yet,” He paused, looking up into the sky. He could see the stars with a clearer perspective when they were not competing with those of the cities. Perhaps nature wasn’t such a bad thing, it was just too dirty. He looked down in time to catch her smile. It was magnificent the way it lit her face. His mouth began to twitch in a return smile when her question took him off guard. Two moons? Ambrose looked around him. He saw everything in shades of dark colors, not that there were shadows, it was just darker than it was in the daytime. Everything in the daytime was a brilliant color, possibly there were some colors the humans couldn’t even see that he could. “Hmm…” He frowned, looked about the woods he was in a little more, trying to form the correct words to speak what he had in mind. “If there were two moons it would be like everything was in different shades of soft darkness. Everything perhaps would be more visible, and when both moons were full, they would cast the world into the true colors of the night in which shadows only linger in the darkest of places rather than alongside the beauty of the night.”

"I suppose that nature is only important if you connect with it." Krestal considered that, and shrug. "What if one moon phased, the way ours does, and one was full? Things would be visible most of the time, and slightly more visible at others." She grinned, glancing up at the constellation Orion again. She grinned, looking at him.

“Probably,” Ambrose replied cautiously. He wouldn’t know, he could see everything perfectly, if one moon was smaller than the other it wouldn’t make much of a difference…”Hm, but if there were two moons, what would happen if there were two suns?” Most likely, everything would burn….including him.
((ITS SHORT!!!!! -cries- >_< sorry. ))

"The planet would be ripped apart by gravity while traveling between the two songs. There would be times when the whole planet was in daylight." She blinked. "Unless we didn't pass between the two suns." She tilted her head to the side.
[it's okayyyy~ It'll get better, promise.]

“Indeed, what if they were so close to each other that the planet went around them?” Ambrose suggested, though his morbid curiosity did picture the scene in which the planet was completely eradicated. It would be interesting to see… so long as he wasn’t on the planet itself. Strange, a person that does not die gets so use to living that even the thought of death is repulsive. Just a head the trees were beginning to part ways, the path was becoming wider and clearer. They were nearing some form of civilization. Ambrose held back a sigh of disappointment. He had no reason to be disappointed! He would be getting a free meal soon, that was reason for excitement, only he wasn’t excited, he was…something else. Something he couldn’t define. It was annoying whatever it was.

"Then life would be the same." Then she pointed up at the sky, at the constellation Orion. "Do you see that red star, on Orion's shoulder?" she asked, looking at him for a moment, then smiled up at the sky. She could sense a growing excitement him, and mentally prepared herself for the fight she could tell was to occur soon.
[[ AUGH. MUSE... muse is dying... for now. D: It will be resurrected soon. ]

“Perhaps, what about the star though?” Ambrose said looking up. To him, the star did not look red, it looked like a brilliant crimson. Though to some the two colors look the same that was not the case for a person with the eyes of a lamia.

"That's Beetleguise. It's supposed to collapse into a supernova soon. The light from the explosion will be visible day and night, like a moon." She tilted her head to the side just slightly. "But if it explodes today, we will not know. If we see the explosion today, or tomorrow, it means that the star died five hundred years ago." She blinked. "Time and space are completely relative. We illusion ourselves to what we believe, and that limits how we see the world." she smiled as the civilization before them loomed closer.

“Technically speaking, it is all relativity, but perhaps even within relativity there is reason and meaning?” Ambrose questioned looking up at the star. Indeed, it could have already collapsed, but why should he mourn for a star long gone when its beauty still shined on? Suddenly a familiar sound reached his ears carried on the wind from a distance. It was the sound of humans….humans, night people, those who hustled about in a civilized area. Crap, Ambrose thought, looking ahead in the distance to see if anyone was nearby, We’re almost there…

"Everything in the universe, except hydrogen and helium, is made when stars die. I suppose that is a reason." She looked at him, curious. He looked... nervous, concerned? Some strange mixture of the two? "Is something wrong?"

“Wrong?” Ambrose asked, snapping out of his concentrated stare. There was something up a head, near the first street leading into the town. “Nothing is wrong,” He said casually, throwing out a smile for insurance. And, technically speaking, nothing was wrong, yet. He just happened to feel… something familiar and…unwanted. Ugh, it had better not be THAT, He thought before continuing to walk forward at a leisurely pace, he would have walked slower only that would be suspicious.

Krestal moved gracefully and swiftly, keeping up with him. "You don't want to go into town," she said flatly, as if it were obvious. She looked from him to the now-approaching town. She was quickly lost in her own thoughts: He could have easily killed her on the spot.. but he hadn't. What's more, he seemed to want to spend time with her. More time.

Ambrose smiled charmingly, putting on his best “prince” face. “Of course I don’t want to go into town, because once we did, our little tête-à-tête would be over, wouldn’t it?” Ambrose replied while the other side of his mind worked out the problem ahead. It was another Lamia, for certain now, he could smell it from here now, and somehow it had attracted human cologne onto its body. Ah, yes, that cologne helped cover up the secondary scent of a male lamia. Ambrose cursed inwardly while, supposedly, awkwardly taking Krestal’s hand. “But perhaps, you do not wish to enter the town just yet?” Ambrose asked, his eyes pleading for an answer he would agree with. If he played his cards right, perhaps he could take just a little taste of blood from her and still get away with it? After all, conversation was very well and good, yet he was hungry for something a little more satisfying.
