A Guiding Hand [Paige]

[Axel Rosen]

Watching her from across the room as best he can before his eyes move to the others in the room. The fight is getting heated, just as he thought that it would. The man and woman fighting in the middle of the room start to take swings. Strikes are made and the male falls, which is not how he saw the fight going at all. At this point he appears confused and entertained by the two humans like it were a fight on the television. He peeks over to his childe, watching to make sure that she is making progress. As she drags the woman back over he tilts his head to the side and then to the crowd. He hopes that Paige will make no mistakes, but also gives her some words of wisdom, ”If you have the ability, muffle the air around you, make your surroundings less noticeable.” He hopes that these words will not go unheeded, because as soon as the fight is over, the people will start to realize that their friend, or whatever she is, is gone. His eyes look over to the group of girls smoking. Finally he moves to position himself between the crowd and his childe, as if protecting her in a way.

His head turns back, as it appears that his words have gone unnoticed, but the girl is still being held to almost silence. He is okay with this. As the girl is fed bits of glass, Axel looks at his childe with a smirk, admiring her work before turning back to the people, shielding her from vision. The fact that Paige takes joy in torturing her prey before she feeds from them is just the fact that he had done a good job in doing the same to her. Only instead of feeding from, he turned her. Finally he turns at just the right time to catch her ripping into the neck of the girl that she holds. Setting the woman up in a position, Axel thinks more out of smarts than any sort of satisfaction, Paige turns to him and he motions to the door. They’ve spent enough time here and should get to the quiet to talk about the thing that happened. It’s only when they talk they can review the short session that has transpired. As he steps out, he keeps the door open for her to follow after him and shifts to the side.
