[Canada Day 2014] Oppty makes a thief ((CharlotteC | Shan))

[Shan]

Shan laughed. She laughed, her head tilting back a little as she did it. "Oh kiddo. You got **** to learn." She smirked over at her, shaking her head. "Im Vel's childe. I get attacked here and there for it. **** happens." She shrugged, her shoulders slouching a bit for a moment then straightening back up and back against the bench. "Ty's killed me more times than I can count. Hell. I stopped counting, honestly." She snickered, her wandering eyes making their way back to the woman.

"I dont need you to trust me. I need you to relax. That cop over there is itchin' to come over here and search you. Or me. Or both." She cleared her throat and dashed her eyes over to the cop on the other side of the street who was seemingly loitering. Maybe he recognized her. Maybe he was radioing for backup. Shan tapped her fingers against her ankle and the bench's back side a bit more as she looked back over to Charlie and tipped her head to the empty seat on the bench next to her. There was plenty room, the woman didnt have to sit right next to her, so Shan figured she'd take the initiative.

The named rang a bell, she had been another to attack her and she sighed a little. But as Shan called her 'kiddo' Charlie's brow lifted ever so slightly. However, there was the fact that she did indeed need to learn things, she had never learned them from Killian, other than asking her to join the 5th and to help him with something that one time, he had taught her very little. She had learned most things through trial and error. How to keep under the radar had been one of them. However, she knew that she had not been under well enough because she had been found, attacked in her own apartment as she tried to relax and rest from the wounds she had been given earlier in the catacombs. Even Rhett couldn't help her then. Since then though, she had become quite a trap master, hording almost every single trap she made, selling only the ones she knew would likely blow up in her face if she tried to set them.

Her stock on those were over flowing now. Now she also had a place that as far as she knew, no one really knew about other than Rhett and it was a place that she knew that she could cover wall to wall in every trap she had ever made. It may not hide her for good, but if they found her, at least they would be bloodied and likely missing limbs when they found her. Shan mentioned the cop and Charlie glanced over her shoulder to notice that he did seem a little more on edge. She sighed a little and moved to join the woman on the bench, trying hard to will herself to relax as much as possible. "I think the thing that makes trusting hard is the fact that Killian, aside from when he asked me to join that ****-tastic clan, and helping him with something that happened a bit before that Genocide that other clan did. I had seen, heard and learned very little from the guy. Hell, Everything I have learned... I have learned from trial and error."

"Lesson one. Life's a *****." She shrugged, looking entirely comfortable even though she was concerned about the cop trolling. "Lesson two. People are selfish." She chuckled, flipping out fingers as she said it, "And lesson three. Deal with it." Her leg dropped her foot to the ground then, legs stretched out in front of her, her jeans stretching with the movement as she crossed her legs over at the ankles. She stayed silent for a moment, thinking on her own advice. That couldnt be it, could it? She was sure there was more to it than just that though... deep down she wasnt.

Sighing and bringing her arms to cross over her chest, Shan cleared her throat once more. She was thirsty. She wanted blood, blood no one around had to offer. She clenched her jaw as she did her best to shake the thought that was constantly in the back of her mind. Looking over to the cop, she stared at him. Hard. Maybe if she stared, he'd get the picture. And sure enough, he caught her eyes, stopping mid stride before turning around and heading back up the other way. Shan gave him a scoffed snort and turned her eyes back on Charlie. "Look. It aint pretty. Its not easy. But the day it is... is the day you arent in reality anymore." She wasnt sure if that helped any, but to her, it helped to keep her grounded. She had spent too long in the shadow realm for her to be forsaking the time she now had in the real realm.

Charlie had to fight herself, had to nearly drive her fang into her cheek to keep herself from rolling her eyes as Shan went on to tell her that live was a *****. She had known life was a ***** even before she had come to this city. Again she had to fight it it, that urge to roll her eyes as she was told to deal with it. She was dealing with it. Yeah, she may not be dealing with it like some of the other people did, by killing their own kind, by bullying them and proving just how 'superior' they were to the newer fledglings of the city that may or may not have ended up on the wrong side of the 'law'. She sighed as she shook away her antagonizing thoughts and looked back at Shan just in time for her to tell her that if it was easy it wasn't reality.

"I understand all of that, that's not really my problem, but at the same time, I refuse to believe that living in the dark ages is really going to keep our kind safe from what happened in the dark ages. People change, the human race changes. Yes, the human race as a whole are stupid morons, but an individual can be smart, can take things and not freak out. Granted i know it's stupid, but really. We deserve to live in the light - so to speak - like every other homosapien. First the African Americans, then the women, then the LGBT communities, they are all fighting for their right to live in peace and have all the rights." She sighed, she was sure that she had just stepped in it, but at the same time, she just couldn't help but voice her thoughts on things. She thought it was wrong to send people to that place because they were scared to be sent back their themselves by humans, humans that for the most part now revered vampires as gods, would welcome them. Yeah there were the nutso people that took things too far, but they did that now with the most insane things, gays or what women did with their own damn bodies. It was insane to her.

She glanced to the woman and sighed again "Are you sure you don't want me to call my thrall for you, or should i just stop talking so you can hunt?"
