[ 1. You know this stuff, right? ]

It's getting near Valentine's Day, and Daia kind of has a crush on someone. He's fretting to himself, trying to figure out all manner of things: If the person he likes will like him back, and how to tell; what gift he should get; how to plan a proper date - he can be found pacing on the street. But his face lights up when he sees you, a long-time friend! He dashes over to you, waving you down.

"Hey! I'm so glad you're here! I need your help!" His cheeks are red, and he sounds a little desperate, but he's also smiling a bit and is clearly excited, hair-ear things wiggling with his eagerness.


[ 2. Step into the Grand Tour ]

You get off the boat, and see a silver-haired, golden-eyed boy there to great you, smiling huge and bright. Ignore the fangs, he has no intention of biting you.

"Hello! And welcome! I'm here to help you out with a tour of Japan! Though, I've only recently started living here, myself. I speak English and Japanese, for your convenience." Look, a job's a job. And he's happy to meet people.

"If you'll follow me, we'll take your luggage to the hotel, and please leave your crucifixes inside your baggage." A.K.A.: Please don't kill him. He values living, thank you.


[ 3. I Just Want to Party All the Time ]

There is a rather bouncy, silver-haired child just trotting through the streets. Occasionally, he'll stop by a person, hand them an envelope, and trot back on his merry way. There doesn't seem to be any particular discernment to who he chooses to give the envelopes to (unless, of course, you look like a Vampire Hunter, then you're clearly excluded).

Eventually, he's holding one out to you.

"It's a theme party! Please come in costume!" he says brightly. Whether it's off-season or not, it seems to be a Halloween party of some sort, with the address listed at an old mansion, and promises of plenty of food and drink. Look, if the Hunters can't recognize him, they can't find him; and that means it's okay to throw a party, right?

If you should so choose to attend the costume party, you'll be greeted at the door by Daia, who is wearing a frilly little number. He holds the door open, letting the music pour out.

"Please come in and enjoy yourself!"

Don't mind him if he follows you around a little bit. He could be enjoying your costume, or making sure you're able to find the snacks okay. Or swaying next to you to the music, perhaps in an almost-waltz?


[ 4. I've Always Wanted a Sleepover... But Maybe Not Like This. ]

It's pouring rain, and Daia is dashing as fast as he can through it. Unfortunately, he stumbles, and sprains his ankle with a loud yelp. He grits his teeth and gets back up, straining to try to even walk again. But it's painful, he certainly can't run any further. And he doesn't want to be captured.

He hobbles to the nearest house, and knocks on your door. Please, please answer! If you don't answer at first, the knocking will become more desperate.

And, when you do answer, you'll see the small male peering back at you, dripping head to toe.

"Please, I need a place to stay." It's said in a quick, panicked, yet quiet tone. He's certainly being overly trusting of you.


[ 5. Any other ideas or prompts you want to try? Feel free to message me via this account, or at Tseil to plot with me, and we'll make it happen. ]

"You mean... like with a bed?" His eyes light up, and he practically jumps from the sofa with joy, though his ankle restricts him from doing little more than a slight bounce. A soft bed is way more than he could have hoped for, intruding into someone else's space.

As for the mentions of a meal, he hesitates. He certainly didn't have time to check for any nearby wildlife while he was running away. And he certainly won't place that chore on Serena. She's done enough for him already. He can go hungry while he waits to heal enough to chase a wild animal. Or for Kuro to drop some off... Though it wouldn't be a good idea for a Hunter to corner both a vampire and a mutant. ...He should probably get out of here when he can, so that Kuro doesn't corner them both.

He waves the question off a bit.

"No, I'm not hungry. But thank you."

Lying? Yes. But he's not about to ask Serena for blood.

Speaking of changes of subject...

"Uhm... Daia. I'm Daia."

[firesole]

“Yes, with a bed.”

She can’t help but smile as he bounces, but she places a warning hand on his shin, wordlessly imploring him to be careful.

And she doesn’t believe that he’s not hungry. She raises an eyebrow, about to call him out, when he says something a bit odd.

She blinks, confused, then laughs when she realizes what he means.

“We didn’t introduce ourselves did we? I’m Serena.”

[diamondsfortears]

Daia cheerfully holds out his hand.

"It's nice to meet you. Thank you for having me."

Look, he may be injured, but he certainly hasn't forgotten all of his manners. Minus sitting sopping wet on a sofa.

And speaking of, he holds up his sleeve.

"So, was this because of you? Because if it's your blankets, you must tell me where you got them!"

Honestly, he hopes it's the blankets. They would be a must have when he finds somewhere to settle down.

[firesole]

She smiles, an actual true smile without the seemingly normal undertone of sadness and pain, and shakes her head.

“I’m afraid it’s not the blankets.” She holds a hand up, palm toward the ceiling, and a small ball of fire blooms to life inside. “Fire is my affinity, so I have a very tight control on anything that involves it.”

She holds it out to Daia. “Touch it,” she dares, smiling with barely controlled amusement.

[diamondsfortears]

Daia stares at the flame for a moment, contemplating if it should be safe. But Serena has been so kind so far, so... it should be, right?

He reaches out his hand to it, hesitates for a moment, then plunges his hand into it.

He expects it to hurt, and shows a mix of surprise and relief when it doesn't hurt. Just...

"Warm..." he says in awe.

[firesole]

She chuckles again. Daia trusts so easily, which worries her a bit, but it’s nice to see such innocence and faith every once in a while.

Especially since she had long lost hers.

“That’s just one of the things I can do. As I said, fire is sort of my thing. I can control even the temperature of it, how fast it spreads, everything.”

Or she could have kept him from feeling the burn, but she wouldn’t do that. She wasn’t fond of hurting people for no reason.

[diamondsfortears]

"That's so cool!"

He wishes he could do something like that. Magic would be way more useful than just a toxic bite that can create monsters or turn another into a vampire.

A blink and a thought.

"Can you stop a fire, too? If someone were in danger from one?"

[firesole]

“Yes.”

There’s another one of those smiles saying she’s seen too much. Undoubtedly she’s had to do something like this before. “Anything to do with fire, if I’m close enough. Though sometimes even that isn’t enough.”

She pauses and leans forward, a stubborn look on her face. “I do wish you’d eat.”

She’s not scared of you.
