If you're lucky none of you get stuck here. If not...you're not the first.

So what do you need them for? [ Look, you told him this much. That's as good as an invitation to ask for more information, right? ]

Hell, yeah.

[nosympathy]

My kind feed from each other, or rather the opposite sex. [Bad reaction from someone once before means she tries not to hide things when they might be important. If he has questions, as long as they don't get too personal, she won't mind.]

So more of the two legged versions or you want the big guys?

[seriousheat]

[ Waaait. ] Like, during sex?

[ A beat. ] How likely am I going to get killed if I say the big guys?

[nosympathy]

Not always. Even the unmated have to take from a vein. [Virgins included.]

Don't worry, I can protect you. [She's perfectly serious by the way.]

[seriousheat]

[ Mulling that over in his mind. He's got nothing against strong women and he's pretty secure in his masculinity, thank you very much.

Besides, he's not entirely convinced that there's really monsters. Willing to be proven wrong on that count, though, and it'd be good not to die if it's really true. ] Right on. Big guys, then.

[nosympathy]

[No offense but he is only human and that bit she didn't actually tell him about gives her an even bigger edge over the monsters than her vampire side. Plus she has a pair of blades on her if needed.]

Follow me.

[And she'll lead him past all the usual haunts in the Underground to head down one of the farther tunnels instead.]

[seriousheat]

[ For what it's worth: he's got a service knife on him as well, and there's a bit more equipment in his bag that could be used as a weapon if need be. He usually uses it to rescue rather than to harm, though. ]

Gladly.

[nosympathy]

[Hers are a little more used to be put to work on an offensive front and she has a few tricks up her sleeves if needed.]

Just remember you said that if anything goes wrong.

[Going down one tunnel and then another until they get to a clearing of sorts. Up ahead there's a small gather of bright light inside of which can be seen wolves made of fire.]

[seriousheat]

[ He's rescue squad; it would defeat the purpose if he used the equipment to harm anyone. ]

Sure. Just remember you said you'd protect my sorry ass. [ There may be laughter in his tone, but it grows quiet when he sees the wolves.

Right. So maybe monsters are real. ]

[nosympathy]

[She's a part time assassin/body guard, her weapons shouldn't be used for anything else.]

Now you believe?

[It's a whisper since there's no telling how well the animals can hear. Thankfully they seem to be down wind so their scent shouldn't reach the wolves though.]

[seriousheat]

[ Yeah, now he believes. Which means that he's whispering as well. ] Hard not to.

[nosympathy]

Cool though aren't they?

[seriousheat]

Fire hazard. [ Look, he can't just turn off those instincts. It's what he does, fighting fire. ]

[nosympathy]

We're in a cave with nothing but rocks, I doubt anything is going to catch. The animals down here don't care for the humans or otherwise; they stick to the caves.

[She steps back toward the way they came in.]

Come on, I'll buy you a beer or something. Unless you want to see more?

[seriousheat]

Fair enough. [ He rubs a hand over his face. ]

No, a beer'd be good.

[nosympathy]

How badly you need it? We can find a place down here or head back above ground.

[seriousheat]

I'm good with either.

[nosympathy]

How do you feel about jazz?

[seriousheat]

Can be good.

[nosympathy]

The Blue Light then, it's a nice place and the beer's always cold.

[Which means they go out another way and back up to the surface. Hopefully he's not getting too lost on the way, but since he most likely won't be here after Sunday, it shouldn't be too bad.]

[seriousheat]

Whatever you say. [ Oh, he's got an excellent sense of direction, no worries. ] And a cold beer sounds great.

[nosympathy]

Just don't expect a Budweiser or anything too familiar from home.

[The City can be a bit confusing for someone who's been here for any length of time, but she usually doesn't mind. Not that she walks around all that much unless it's for exercise.]

[seriousheat]

Hey, I'm good so long as the beer's cold.
