Path of the Vampire forum

Rowan shrugged at Bjorn's unasked question, automatically reaching for her rifle, it's weight a comforting security blanket in her hands. It had taken her many hours, but she was confident she was a good shot. Between her and Bjorn, they should be reasonably well-equipped to take on a lot of threats. As a precaution, she always had several escape plans, one of which was her tome. Another was the family members on speed dial. Her Sire's bonded partner Mortll had wanted her to know that if she ever got into trouble, she would be happy to summon her out of the sticky situation. She waited for the human to identify itself, thinking idly that Bjorn was a great early warning system and placed a mental note to look into telepaths some more.

She stayed mostly where she was and held her breath again. A silent little curse as she let the breath out. Holding hands out at the edge of the wall to show her weapons where put away and not in hand.

Not Lost, looking for lost things.

When they did not shoot she took a slow step out. Dressed in dark leather pants and a halter top of the same martial with leather lacing around the wrists in a cheap version of natural gauntlet, neither of those things hid the large Ivy like tattoo that ran along her arms and shoulders. Dark red dreadlocks where pulled back and tied in place.

Did not mean to listen, just not often I find others down here.

She let a bit of her power out to thicken her skin just in case something happened.

Green eyes shifted to weapon in Rowan's hands then back to Bjorn and back to weapon and woman. Both her weapons could be seen, the custom made long blade at her hip had a larger head that made it look off balanced but deadly and the rifle slung over her back looked pieced together but well made. No move was made to either as she shifted from one foot to the other.

If you want, I could leave you both to do what you are doing. It's easy enough for me to wander off into another section of a tunnels or what not.

Rowan's eyes narrowed when the woman came into view, her hands automatically tightening on her weapon. Other vampires, she could handle. It was the humans that hunted their kind that made her pause. Considering that they came in all shapes and sizes, she didn't dare trust this one an inch.

"Scavenging, were you? Anything specific you were looking for?" she called out to the human. Bjorn hadn't lowered his guard much and she would go with his reactions for now, knowing that he would have better insight into this mysterious stranger than she did at the moment.

"You don't have to leave on our account, it's a free city and all." Rowan would feel better with the threat in sight than if it wandered off and then came back to stab them in the back.

A shake of her head and she made sure to keep her hands away from her weapons, no need to get shot down here where she would never find her way out again. She would glance between both but focusing on the on she speaks to when speaking to them. Looking towards Rowan

"Just old almost broken swords and stuff. Working on piecing them back together to try and make something better. Works sometime."

She gave a small smile and then shifted her attention to Bjorn, he head shaking no.

"Just wanted to make sure you knew I was a thinking body and not a zombie as I passed through. Don't really want to get shot you know."

Rowan gave the female an interested look once she mentioned working with forging swords and the like. It wasn't a skill she had studied herself and of course, she was always on the lookout for better weapons, both for herself and for her friends and family. Some of them even had extensive gun and sword collections, she knew. Turning her head when Bjorn relaxed minutely, she gave him a look and then, going back to the human, she tilted her gun so the barrel was pointing at the ground instead in a show of goodwill.

"Working with swords and such? Are you any good?" Her face relaxed into a smile then, the type of smiles that came easily to her from a lifetime of working in bars and the like. "I'm Rowan by the way, and it was a good idea for you to let us know you were around. I tend to shoot first and ask later down here."

A nod of greeting to both, then a wave of her hand in a so so gesture.

I could be better,but the parts down here are not really the best. Ever so often you get luck and find something amazing but you know good luck finding matching parts."

She gave a soft laugh.

"I could show you, the one I use most the time is something I made. Oh and I'm Ona.

She did not make to remove the weapon to show them till they both were okay with it.
