Marius sat in the back of his personal limousine, driven by one of his trusted ghouls. It had a fake floor hidden under the back, for if he ever had a close call with the rising sun, but so far he had never needed to use it.
He was dressed in fine black pants, and a dark blue cashmere sweater. His hair was open and flowing to his shoulders in soft waves.
He had managed to find a small antiquity store the other day and had returned there to find Aurelie something small. Indeed he had found the perfect gift: a plain but beautiful silver necklace with a small red gem. The antiquarian wasn't sure where it had originally come from, but it was hand made and fair.
He hid the necklace in a simple black box in his pocket and would produce it when they had reached their destination.
The limousine pulled up in front of the Asylum and Marius stepped out looking for Aurelie.

Aura clicks in her heels to the curb, in rather adorable tights and a ruffled skirt that you can see thanks to her lovely parisian coat.
She smiles when she sees the Limo drive up, then wider when Marius comes out of it, her eyes lighting up just a bit.

Oh, she is so very beautiful. Marius thought as he saw her smile and eyes lighten up.
He walked up the few steps towards her and taking her hand, gave her a courteous, and slightly sensual, kiss on its back. Then straightened and looked deep into her eyes, an infatuating smile forming on his lips.
"Mon chèrie, are you ready?" His French was as soft and sensual as ever.

Oui, where are we going Monsieur Marius... she smiles, slipping into the limo beside him, used to the finer things in life, and glad that he has treated her like a lady so far.

"That my dear is a surprise." He said with a playful smile, and took out a bottle, which at first glance looked like it contained wine. But as soon as he unscrewed the top the soft fragrance of blood filled the air.
"It will take us about one and a half hours to get to our destination, so please make yourself comfortable."
He poured the thick red liquid into a crystal glass and offered it to her.
"This mademoiselle is adult AB specially mixed with a hint of exquisite French wine. Of course, if you prefer, I can also offer you some more classical champagne. Or perhaps something else?"

Her blue eyes go wide at the heady aroma, amazed that this man is going to such expense for her, she bites her lip, glad she fed so heavily the night before, or else she would be ingraciously chugging that class like a sorority girl.
No, this is all very lovely...This will be fine... she murmurs in her lilting French, she sips slowly, sinking back into the plush seat and relaxing, her long lithe dancers legs stretched out in front of her, crossed demurely.
I really should try to be home by three or so in the morning...If that is alright?

A slight frown crossed over his face, for it didn't leave them with as much time as he had hoped for. But then he was just happy to be in her presence. He still did not understand where these powerful emotions resonated from.
"Of course, if that is your wish. We should still have plenty of time." He smiled again and poured himself a glass as well.
"A toast, to our home back in Europe, to you for singing to my heart and making me feel so blissful, and to the adventure of traveling on this new continent." He did not drink yet, in case she wanted to add something.

She catches his frown, biting her lip, hating to dissapoint this kind man, hoping Nicolo will text her back and tell her that they will have to meet another night.
I will see if I can stay longer, I am perhaps having a meeting with the Lancea Sanctum later, but if it is not a good night for them, then I can stay with you... she murmurs, smiling at him gently, hating to see his handsome brow furrowed with distress.
She actually blushes at that, color rising to her porcelain cheeks.
I dont know what you find so fascinating in me...But I am happy to ease your requiem...To friends... she murmurs, gently clinking her glass with his.

Friends, huh...
He would be her friend, and much more if she wanted, but for now he would need to understand the depth and reason for his own feelings as well.
When their glasses touched, his smile returned, and he took a soft sip from the slightly warmed liquid.
"So you've aligned yourself with the Lancea." This troubled him somewhat, but he did not let it show. "Tell me, how it came to be so, mon chèrie."

Oh no, not aligned...I... Have had a hard time coming back... into the regular world, she murmurs, still not knowing if it is alright to tell about being in torpor, considering asking Lioni.
I am not aligned to anyone, I just feel so lost in the world, I dont know who to trust or believe. I thought that Lancea Sanctum would be a better match for me than Invictus. she replies, happy to use her native tongue exclusively around someone, Cozette having been too busy to talk to lately. She ponders herself for a moment, how un Ventrue of me, sharing my secret fears....I could be giving this man ammunition against me...but oh he's so nice... she thinks to herself, remembering her conversation with her Sire about Kindred men.

Marius took Aurelie's glass from her hand, and put it together with his to the side. Then he gently took both her hands in his, his face full of emotions.
"You need not feel this way." He paused, knowing exactly how she felt. "I will tell you something, which I have only told my closest friends, and I am not sure why I trust you with this so easily." He brought her hands together in his and held them close.
"My name, as you know now, is not Mars Delven. It is Marius Seius Atellus."
He waited to see if she recognized the time period of such a name, then continued.
"I was born almost two millennia ago, and have spent most of this time in the clutches of what we today call torpor."
His eyes became slightly red, as droplets of tears formed at their corners, as he remembered the dreams he would never forget.
"You are not alone, mon chèrie. I understand."
He couldn't talk, he could only look at her face. Her beautiful face. Memories swirled in his head, threatening to overcome him, but she was here with him, and he felt safe.
And slowly a memory started to come loose in his mind, the memory of a face. Almost like hers.
But what did it mean? Who was she?
Only Aurelie's eyes kept him from weeping, for the emotions he felt were overwhelming.

She stares into his handsome eyes, completely baffled by his intense emotions. I thought our emotions died with us? she thinks to herself, gently squeezing his hands to bring him back to the brink. Who is saving who here? He seems to try to comfort me, but then loses himself in the process... I will have to ask Lioni about his type.
Marius....I am sorry that we share the same pain... I have been in torpor for the last century, it is hard on the mind and the soul... she murmurs soothingly. She sees his gaze half unfocus, is he remembering someone else? she squeezes his strong hands again.
I...I can stay out as long as you wish...I can wait for my meeting..

As fast as the emotions had taken a hold of him, as fast did they start to fade.
"Your eyes are so very beautiful." He said so quietly, still in french, that it was hard to understand. It was as if he saw the face in his memory overlap with the one looking at him in the car. His own was softening, no longer torn by welling emotions.
His right hand gently touched her neck, moving along it slowly behind her head, his thumb tracing up across her cheek. He knew this movement, he knew it so well. Then he slowly drew his hand back, his fingers cupping her chin and drawing her towards him, his thumb slowly sliding over her lips, sensually, opening her mouth just a fraction. They were so close already.
His eyes glistening with affection, focused on her own completely.
He slowly drew her lips towards his own...

Th-thank you.... she murmurs, totally entranced, liking him better when he does not seem as lost as she is. Her eyes widen for the barest moment, a million things running through her head.
I am supposed to be using my wiles on *him* not him on me, am I really so weak as to...oh dear that feels nice. But he cares for me, what if its an act, Lioni said it can always be an act with Kindred men, wanting leverage for something....Oh he's so gentle. Is this wrong? Would the God and Longinus that Nicolo speak of hate me for this, am I so depraved and easily swayed? Maybe this is why Nicolo shuns me, I am not worthy of his covenant and help.
Her brain spins, the girl about to pull away...when his thumb runs across her lips, she leans in, returning his soft kiss before pulling back, not allowing herself to get out of hand, and especially not out of control.

When Marius leaned back after the kiss, she could see his eyes gleaming again with resolve and affection.
A warm and charming smile formed on his lips as he reached for the two glasses again, handing one to her. The mix of blood and her tender lips had been intoxicating, stirring in him not only the lust for blood, but also the lust for something else. It would have been childsplay to enchant her now with the trick of his blood, and have here right here in the limousine, but he wouldn't succumb. She already meant far too much to him.
Instead he lustfully swallowed down the thick red nectar, feeling only a hint of the anti-coagulant mixed into it.
"I must apologize for my impulsiveness. I am not usually like this." There was sincerity in his voice, and the strength from the beginning of the night was back. "It is just when I'm with you, that I feel... safe and tranquil." He gave a soft smile.
"You should take your time choosing a covenant, mon chèrie." He said, changing the subject, and taking another sip. "For it is no small step, and should not be forced. If you feel a connection within you, resonating with the Lancea's ideals, then you will know it is the right choice." He paused to emphasize his next words. "It is easier to join a covenant, than it is to quit."

She smiles, feeling better after the chaste kiss, like she has a friend in the world and someone who cares for her. She almost follows his lips away, but then controls herself, not wanting to give too much away, remembering the warning of her sire.
She sits back, sipping at the lovely and surely expensive drink he has brought them, enjoying that it takes the tiny edge off of her hunger but still reminds her of France.
I am glad I make you feel so, she murmurs in French, her gaze kind and sweet and soft. You and my sire are the only Kindred I have met who do not frown on me for not knowing my way in the world. I will find it though, once I remember my self a bit more, she murmurs, for the first time letting on that she has severe amnesia.
Oh..I will choose carefully, I want to do what will fit me for my entire requiem...it is just so hard to find out what each does, you must find someone wrapped in their covenants secrets and then ask them to share just a little bit so that you know what you are getting into....
Oh? It is hard to free yourself?

"As you said yourself, the covenants are quite secretive and reluctant to give their secrets to someone who might not stay with them. That is why once you have joined, you'll be expected to stay." He looked out the window, realizing they would soon reach their destination.
"Your requiem has only just begun, and you have eternity ahead of you." His eyes, the only hint at his true age, sparkled with the wisdom of ages as he spoke these words.

She nods and smiles, thinking about this.
We are a long way from the city Marius....Where have you brought me? she asks, tilting her head with interest and amusement.

Just as she asked Marius the limo turned into a parking lot and came to a halt. They were near a little forest and city lights could be seen on the horizon.
He helped her out of the car, giving a warm smile. There was nothing else to be seen at the moment, save for the forest to one side and a slope to the other.
"Do you trust me?" he asked, his voice sincere and soft.

He couldn't help but smile at her joke, then shook his head.
"No, nothing like that." He came towards her, and produced a soft silk blindfold from his pocket.
"Here, if you allow me?"
He took the fold and softly bound it behind her head. It would take but a brush with the hand to take it off, but it was tight enough not to fall on its own.
Then he let his blood strengthen his body, and softly picked her off the ground, holding her in his arms as if she weighed nothing at all.
"Please hold on." He said in a soft whisper, and when her hands had reached around his neck he took off at a sprint. Wind blew past their ears, his empowered arms holding her effortlessly and reassuringly against his chest, their speed never decreasing. After only a minute Aurelie could hear the soft waves of water and she was gently lowered into what felt like a small boat.
"Almost there." He reassured her, and dug his full strength into rowing. The small wooden craft lurched away from shore at a surprising speed.
After another four or five minutes the boat slowed and finally came to a halt. Again he lifted her effortlessly off the small boat and onto shore where they walked for a bit more and then came to a halt.
"Alright, you can take them off." He said softly, as he set her down.
When she opened her eyes she could see the night had come to life with colors, glistening in the distance.
They were on a small cliff on what seemed like an island and the gleaming lights belonged to San Francisco.
She could see that Marius had been carrying a basket from which he now took a large wool blanket and spread it out in front of them. He took off his shoes and socks helping her do the same, and guiding her onto the soft fabric, tickling against her feet.
"Please sit and make yourself comfortable." He said with a warm smile, his eyes shining, reflecting the many colors twinkling in the distance.

She bites her lip, looking a little nervous about the blindfold, and more nervous about being pressed tightly to his chest as he runs, oh these Daeva...they do know how to put on a show... she thinks to herself, hands gripping the sides of the little rowboat, slowly becoming convinced he is going to make her some cement shoes and sink her.
She sighs in relief as he leads her back onto land, sliding off the blindfold and gasping.
It had been a long time since she had seen a 'city of light' like Paris, so bustling with life at night. Her face breaks into a heart rending beam, the smile going all the way to her eyes for once, her depressions forgotten for the moment.
Magnifique.... she breathes, slipping off her heels and seating herself.

When he saw her smile his heart burned with passion. She was so radiant in this light, as his eyes which could easily pierce the shroud of darkness looked at her beautiful figure.
He took out the bottle of Bloodwine from the basket and filled two new glasses with it.
"Here you go mon chèrie." He took a sip from his own glass and set it down in the grass next to their blanket.
"I am so glad that you like it. This island is called 'Angel Island' and I thought it fitting for you to have walked its face." He looked at her full of joy, waiting for her eyes to meet his.

"You seem to touch my soul - or what is left of it in our state - in a way I had thought impossible." He smiled at her, as he remembered the necklace. How could he have forgotten?
"So please close your eyes one more time."
When she did, he took out the slim black box and opened it, revealing the silver necklace with the small red gem, glittering now in the cities lights.
He reached out and slid the box into her fine hands.
"Ok, you can open them."
