So can Tinder give anything else but bootycalls? Time will tell

Normally the hell hound was not one to show this much of a galant personality, but something about the way she carried herself made him think that she needed to be treated like royalty. The way she leaned against him, holding his arm did move his heart, making it beat a little faster than normal, but it was perchance more because of the physical attraction he had to her. She agreed to go to the park, making him smile, looking down to her glimmering brown eyes in the moonlight. The new moon had come and passed, and now the moon was almost reaching its halfway point, but not quite yet. He turned to look ahead as they walked, guiding them with ease. "You spoke about kindness earlier, and in line with that how you believed in the best in people and not judging them by their looks," he said, feeling relaxed in her presence, feeling the conversation turning more interesting and comfortable once more. "Do you think anyone is redeemable? I mean, even if they turn out to be a wild beast, do you think they can be saved on some level?" he asked, turning to look at her while they walked through the entrance of the park. Inside the gardens were blooming, however some of the flowers had retracted their petals for the night, but that didn't make their scent dull in the slightest. Roses, tulips and various herbs were filling the air around them as they walked, giving it an almost romantic atmosphere.

She hadn't seen the park at night, so this was quite beautiful, with the moonlight beaming above them, amongst all the stars. Though she didn't leave much time to adore and admire the surroundings, as Evan suddenly referred back to their previous conversation, and she was curious as to see what he wanted to know "I believe that if someone wants to be better than you should help them, but a beast doesn't mean something bad. Everyone is potentially bad in the eyes of someone else, I mean angels are cruel in the eyes of Demons and the other way around. I don't want to judge someone for being what they are, I mean you don't hate a lion for eating a gazel," she still had a rather thoughtful expression "But yes, I do believe people are redeemable if they themself wish to be this." Her eyes searched up to his, so many people were able to do bad, but they were also able to do good, and she didn't want people to be put in a box of who's evil and who isn't, just by what this person may be.

Evan listened, taking in her sweet accent along with even sweeter words. Words that gave him a sense of hope. His whole existence was pretty much damned, but he was trying to be better, he was trying to not let the animal in him take over. Of course he knew he could never have a normal life, his temper sporadic and he was probably too wild to handle, but was it really so bad to think of what could've been? The mention of the lion eating a gazelle made him chuckle, nodding as he understood where she was going with her analog. "I think you've made one thing for sure; you do not only look beautiful, you also have a wondrous mind," he confessed, smiling at her in the dark. On most nights like these he preferred being alone, running in his original form and taking a break from all of the expectations that society seemed to have, however being here with her was soothing something in him. Maybe he was being sentimental, but he found great comfort in the way she hung on to his arm. "It's just a little further," he promised her, leading her up a hill decorated with small steps to make the climb easier.
As they reached the top he inhaled the air, breathing out heavily with a smile. It wasn't like standing on a mountain, but it was high enough so that he could feel a bit relieved. "Now, you will have to tell me something quite different," he said, releasing himself softly from her arms before taking her hand and guiding her to the telescope. "Do you know much about astronomy?" he asked, popping in a few coins for her to peak through and up at the sky. He pretty much knew where all of the stars were at the moment, perhaps because he payed so much attention to them. "Right now, if I placed the telescope correctly, you should be able to see Hercules and his trusted stead Pegasus in the sky," he chuckled.

She almost blushed, just alone by his words, feeling as if he saw her as something beautiful, rather than just this freak, but than again he didn't know this other side of her. She wasn't actually sure how he would react if he saw more of the real her, but at the same time, she wouldn't judge him by a reaction he hadn't even shown to her. But a part of her told her, that he wouldn't actually judge her for being different, as she had an idea he wasn't like anyone else, and after all, she didn't care that he may be something else entirely.
The trip up the hill went rather well, and she did enjoy the walk itself. As she found out more and more about herself, she also kind of unlocked these kinds of strengths and endurance, that she hadn't actually noticed before. So in other words, it didn't actually bother her, and as they finally reached the top, her eyes looked out at the view, before then turning to him "I don't know that much, I mostly just used to watch the stars from the window when I was child," she shrugged, and looked at him, but followed him to the telescope. Her knowledge of the stars and space itself was rather small, other than the fact she loved looking at the night sky.
She watched him as he placed the telescope the right way, and put the money into it, and the second he told she would be able to see something, she quickly looked through the lens, and the smile got bigger than before "This is so beautiful," she didn't know how she could go her life, without having seen the night sky this way. As she straightened up and looked at him "thank you for showing me this," the smile didn't leave her lips, nor that of her eyes.

To be fair, this seemed like it had been taken from a romantic movie, the one where the guy always got the girl and the girl was perfect in every way. As she thanked him he shook his head a little, he hadn't done anything, at least not from his point of view, but this moment right now was taking him by surprise. This was the part of the movie where he would lean in, bridge the gap between their lips and the credits would roll, but he found himself in cowardice. "I simply adjusted the telescope for you," he said, feeling a little breathless, but perhaps he could excuse that away with the steep climb. However it wasn't that, it was the fact that she was looking at him like he had done some great favor for her. He chuckled, reaching down and in an act of bravery taking her hand in his. "In fact, I think I need to thank you for showing me a new side of myself," he confessed, looking down at their hands. She was so soft, so gentle in the way she moved, but he could sense the wildness within her, as if his own fieriness could spot it deep down.
"I guess this is the part of the night where I ask you if I can kiss you," he said, feeling like his heart rate skyrocketed. He was always one for consent, even when flirting he seemed awfully aware of the signals being sent, but all the signals from her had been positive. Perhaps even longing for more, or maybe that was just him projecting on to her. "You don't have to and I'm not the guy who would force you to do anything you don't want," he assured her. This was her making a choice, and him simply offering what he wanted. Did she want this as well? Would she come to regret it later?

"I know, but you still showed me this, even if you didn't have to," it seemed like astronomy was something he was passionate about, and she felt honoured that he wanted to share this little piece of him with her. As he took her hand in his, she held it ever so softly, even with his being so much bigger than her own, and even for a moment, her eyes looked down at their connected hand, before looking at him "I didn't do anything," she didn't know how she'd shown him anything, maybe she'd done more than she actually thought, just like he'd done with her. He'd taken her out, didn't judge her for her strange eating habits, and bared a part of himself to her.
Her teeth bit into the soft flesh of her lower lip, as he said this was the time in which he would ask if he could kiss her, maybe he meant that in the movies this would be about the time the two people on their first date would kiss for the first time. She chuckled softly as he suddenly assured her, that she didn't have to if she didn't want to... but she did want to "I would love for you to kiss me," she stepped closer to him, and gently laid her hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat underneath one of her hands, as he dark eyes met with his clear blue ones. She would love for him to kiss her, to feel those soft lips against her own.

It seemed like they would forever disagree on the fact that they had made some sort of impact on each other. It didn't matter if neither of them seemed to want to agree, as long as they kept that feeling it would probably grow to have much more meaning in the future. However his request was reciprocated, making a faint smile appear on his lips, feeling her move closer, resting her hands against his chest. Did she have any idea what she was doing to him? Her soft fingers lingering against his bare skin was almost intoxicating, but he decided not to act rash or out of line. She had complied, wanting him to kiss her, and he was going to shoot his shot, so to say. One of his hands moved up, gently placing his palm again her neck, feeling her pulse beneath his skin. His other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer as if he wanted to keep her safe. Then he leaned down, his breath hitting her lips before letting his own touch them.
The feeling wasn't of this world. Evan had kissed many people, all of them had been different, but perhaps this one had to take the cake. Her lips were soft, luring him in and he continued the dance between their lips for a while before pulling away, breathing heavily. She was waking something in him, but he didn't care. "Wow," was all he could muster, chuckling a bit, his eyes still closed as if he was afraid to open them and she wouldn't be there.

Her heart was beating fast, and she almost felt light-headed, being this close to him, and feeling him all around her, made her want to lean more into it. So as his hand gently laid itself palm against the skin of her neck, he would be able to feel her pulse pulsating fast, but she wasn't scared, she was maybe a bit nervous and excited. The arm around her waist, and being pulled closer against his chest, while her face was looking up at him. This was unlike the other kisses she'd tried, because he was tender and slow, and didn't force anything on her. The way he touched her, and leaned down, allowing her to feel him, before actually kissing her, it made her wish this had been her first kiss. Alone the way he moved down towards her, made her eyes linger on his lips before they finally touched and her eyes closed.
Her arms connected around his neck, and she kissed him back, letting herself melt with the kiss. As the kiss ended, and she heard him saying wow, a smile came to her lips, though her eyes were still closed "yeah," she said breathlessly "Your lips, they are soft and intoxicating," she caressed his cheek and still has a smile on her lips.

The best part wasn't the fact that he got to kiss her; Any brute could just force themselves on another person, but she took her time replying with her lips alone. How she pulled herself closer to him told him so much more about her than anything else she had said. He could feel her wanting more of it, but for now it had to end, keeping it sweet and subtle, even if he also wanted more. Swallowing at her words he leaned his forehead against hers, making a connection that meant he wasn't quite ready to let her go yet. Oh so sweet words she could tell him, making his knees weak with just her voice. "I wish I could find words to describe yours," he replied, because right now he felt speechless. How could she have come out of nowhere with a beaming personality, great looks as well as the ability to make his heart beat this fast? Part of him thought she might've been sent from heaven, one good thing in his life for him to cherish. "You're cold," he mumbled, feeling that she was indeed colder than she had been when leaving the restaurant. Perhaps his gesture of her holding his arm hadn't been enough.
He let go of her momentarily, opening his eyes to look at the immaculate beauty in front of him. He took his jacket, draping it over her shoulder to provide her with some more protection. Even though it was a summer night, the cold could still hit anyone - unless they were as warm blooded as he was. "Can I ... Escort you home?" he asked. He would understand if she didn't want him to know her address, but he didn't really like thinking that she would head home alone.

Her eyes kept being close, maybe she feared that the moment would pass, if she opened her eyes, especially when he rested his forehead against her own. Them not doing more than the kiss wasn't something she was used to, but it didn't matter and she'd enjoyed the kiss, with the feeling off it still lingered on her lips. Her lips even felt tingling, like she could still feel his lips against her own, it was this warmth and she liked it quite a lot. She chuckled by his words "It's okay, your silence speaks more than words would," because it had, even if she couldn't see him through her closed eyelids, she could sense that the kiss had been good to him, and this wasn't like it had been with Caine, in which she'd been unsure about everything. No at this moment, she felt secure and as if she was doing something right.
She hadn't even noticed how the air had gotten colder, and her skin was less warm than it had been some time ago. But the kiss had caught her in a moment, in which everything else didn't seem to matter. But now that he mentioned it, she was actually rather cold, and as her eyes opened and she looked at him, she smiled almost lovingly "Your kiss is quite seducing, I hadn't even noticed it had gotten colder," she had expected this meant he would just say they should go back to the restaurant, and then go to each place, but as he suddenly placed his jacket around her shoulders, and then was surrounded by his scent. Her arms glided into the arms of the jacket "You're quite amazing, even if you may not believe it," she really meant it, he was everything she didn't know she actually needed at this moment and wanted to be near "And yes, you may follow me home, though it's a bit of a walk." This was a possible understatement, but none the less it was true, walking her home would be quite a trip. Though this meant she could spend more time with him.

Seducing? He found the choice of words rather surprising, but not unwelcome. However his intention hadn't been to seduce, rather to feel connected to her. Evan was of the strange belief that a kiss could be more intimate than sex, it was about opening up once heart and being able to feel what the other person did. Not that he didn't like sex, what guy didn't like a bit of bed wrestling? But alas, this date hadn't been about that. He had been so taken aback by how she had conversed with him, how their tone had been flirty and comfortable, and this night was sure one he was going to remember. She slipped on the jacket, making him smile as he saw the size difference. "I have a feeling you can look good in anything," he chuckled, but he meant it as a compliment more than some snarky remark or a dismissal of her.
Her calling him amazing made him shake his head a little, placing his arms back around her, trying to heat her up a bit. Maybe he was just using that as an excuse to feel her close to him once more, but this time he didn't have any intention of asking for more. Rather he simply held her for a while as she said he could follow her home despite it being quite the walk. Shrugging lately, he placed his nose against her hair, breathing in her alluring scent. "I don't mind walking; I mean everything is better in great company, right?" he pointed out, smiling against her scalp before giving her hair a gentle peck with his lips. He leaned away, looking at her and feeling her heat up slowly, but perhaps the walk would also aid in that. "Lead the way," he said in a low tone, letting go of her slowly, but willing to hold either her hand or let her hold his arm like before.

She liked that he gave her his jacket, because it both smelled like him, but also by just how big it was compared to her own tiny body. As the arms were so long, her fingers couldn't reach the end of it "Why thank you," she wasn't sure about looking good in anything, as there were things no one would look good in, but that really didn't matter. His arm around her, made her lean closer to him, as he then almost hide his face away in her hair "I think you're right, I mean a great company can make most situations amazing." There really was something about a good company, as it kept the mind occupied from whatever may be bothering it, or something else entirely.
"With pleasure," her hand found its way out of the arm of the jacket, and she gently held his hand in her own, of course, only if he actually wanted to hold hands with her. She started walking down the hill, and her eyes would every once in a while look up at him "So I really enjoyed this," and she meant it, this date had been her first and it had been really nice, and she was enjoying her time with him, hoping she would be able to see him again.

Evan followed her gladly, holding her hand in his own, giving it a soft squeeze from time to time in the hopes of giving her some heat. Maybe he should call for a cab, but then they wouldn't have as much time together, and frankly he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could. Her genuine words made him smile, looking down as he felt a little taken aback, but in a good way. "Were you expecting not to?" he asked, chuckling a little as he felt nervous to know the answer. She had been one hell of a catch in his eyes, and it still surprised him how well the night had gotten. Sure, he had his fair share of troubles keeping himself under control, but it was as if it was easier when she was near. Like she could calm the fire inside of him somewhat. "But I would have to say I agree with you ... I don't think I've ever had a date turn out this great," he confessed.
They managed to exit the park, walking on the pavement as he still held her hand in his. The stars above twinkling and the moon lighting the path ahead. "Can I ask you a few more things? Just ... Random stuff mostly?" he asked, looking at her with a warm smile spreading on his lips. His cheeks hurt a little from having smiled this much within so few hours. "Okay, what three items would you bring with you to a deserted island?" he asked. It was probably a standard question, but it did seem like a fun way to pass time.

"I haven't tried dating before, so I didn't expect that much, but it turned out so much better than what I could ever imagine," as this had been the first time she'd tried something like Tinder, she didn't actually know what to expect from this whole dating scene, and maybe the date with Evan had been her way of sticking her toe into this new world and trying it out. The fact it had ended up this amazing, was a completely different side of the story. But one thing was that she'd thought it had ended up pretty good, something else was what he has thought of it, and his words of not having had dates turn out this great, made her heart beat faster, and slight blushing emerged on her cheeks "I'm happy you had a good time," it kind of made her giddy and tingly, that he had a good time with her.
"You can ask me whatever you want." Though asking strange questions could be a fun way to learn more about each other "Food, a lot of gaffa tape and a good book," she'd learned through this amazing show called Myth Busters, that Gaffa Tape could solve almost any situations, plus she could just fly away from the island, but he didn't know this "If you could eat or drink one thing for the rest of your life, what would that be?" she asked, as she looked up at him.

He could gather as much that she hadn't really done dating much, as she had been a little confused at the restaurant and the fact she didn't eat conventional food. But from the sound of it, she had had a good time, and then his work had been done. It didn't mean he didn't want to make the date even better, but it meant that so far he had done everything he could to make her happy and it had worked.
Her reply to his deserted island question made him laugh slightly, nodding approvingly of her answer. "Yeah, gaffa tape would probably be on my list as well," he admitted, smiling as it was probably very useful in many situations. He was happy to hear she entertained his round of questions, humming softly as he considered her question, almost as if it was rather serious to him. "I think it would have to be dark ale ... I don't know, I'm a sucker for beer in general, but it would probably make me very drunk by the end of the day," he said, shrugging lightly. He was still holding her hand, his thumb running against the back of hers, caressing it as they walked. "What would you rather live without; sight or hearing?" he asked.

"I learned that from this show called Myth Busters, it's rather interesting," she didn't know much of Tv, Erin had actually been the one to show her how the TV worked, and sometimes she would come into the living room and Lucifer would be dancing and making food to some strange music. Lucy might have been one of the few people in the bunker, that didn't seem cold to her, even if Michael had been kind in the beginning. But none the less, she really actually liked the show Myth Busters, it was funny and educational. Though she didn't actually watch that much TV, as she would rather read or be out in the world and experience things.
She chuckled by his comment, almost imagining him just living of beer, which would probably not be the best of choices, but beside blood or magic, she would have picked Wine "That's a good one, I think I would live without hearing, as I wouldn't want to lose the ability to see the wonders of the world, and sign language is on my list of things I want to learn," she shrugged and smiled "if your life was a book or movie title, what would it be?" these were funny questions, and she didn't know where she even got the ones she asked him about from, it was just a sudden thought of something funny.

Evan couldn't say he watched much tv, but he had heard about the show and seen a few clips on YouTube, so he thought he at least had the gist of it. However the next reply he got, he hadn't really expected, but the way she described it seemed to make sense. If she wanted to physically see the world, then she would need her sight. There was something about the way that she said it that sounded so optimistic, like even if she did lose some sort of sense, she would find a way to work around it. It showed clearly how much of a fighter she was, even without her realizing it.
"I think it would be something strange, but maybe Send in the Hounds? I don't know, like send in the clowns?" he said feeling like it might sound stupid. However it did very much feel fitting to his life, and he was probably going to stand by that statement. The city lamps had turned on, giving a yellow light to the road as they passed smaller streets with people gathering to go down town.
"Do you believe in monogamy?" he then asked. The question was perhaps rather serious, but he was genuinely curious. Religion put aside there had been a lot of talk wether people could remain with just one person or if it was better to be more fluid. He himself was kinda torn, as he liked his freedom, but he had also heard of friends finding that freedom through a committed relationship.

It was an interesting choice of headline, and while she actually didn't know the meaning behind it, as of what he actually was, so in her mind, it was just an interesting choice "I like it, like being a part of a pack and it being your family," family had always been complicated for her, her parents were mass murderers, her aunt and uncle were brutally murdered in front of her and she had no contact with the rest of her family. But one did have a way to make their own family, through the relationships with others.
She'd expected him to ask a funny question, so when one about monogamy came up, she was actually rather surprised "Yes, but I wouldn't force it down on someone, who is unable to be monogamous," she seemed almost lost at thoughts "I love love, and I think it's beautiful and complicated in every single way, and I would love to find that someone who I would be with. But if someone doesn't want to be with just one person, that's okay, because that their way of love and that shouldn't be put down," her gaze lifted to him, and she looked at him with a smile in her eyes. So far her experiences with the physical had only been sex and not much of love, so she didn't know how it actually felt.

It probably wasn't what she believed it would mean, but he just nodded at her words. It felt much too serious and complicated to even get in to, but perhaps that was why his question had turned more serious. He should probably expect it by now, but he found it a little funny that he kept being surprised. Her way of speaking drew him in and as she looked up to him he sent her a genuine smile. "Love is love, that's for sure," he admitted. He had been in love once or twice, but it had never turned out well, perhaps because it meant opening up on so many levels. The amount of trust that it would take seemed extreme, but on the other hand it was also something he longed for in some strange way. "I take it you believe in true love?" he asked, looking at her, his blue eyes studying her face. She had to, right? He himself hoped it to be real, but he also thought that there wasn't just one person for everyone. Sometimes you had many true loves through your life, but he did see the romantic aspect of sticking to a one and only. "I mean, I'm still on the fence about it, but maybe the movies are right; One day you just stumble in to that special someone, spill coffee on her and a few hours later you're married," he chuckled, finding it a little funny and absurd.

She nodded by his comment about love, even if she hadn't tried it on herself, it was something complicated and one couldn't really control it. Many had tried in the past, but no one really had a grasp on what Love truly was and what it had inside it "I don't actually know, I mean I think you have many true loves in the world, in a way of saying if it doesn't work with the first one, then it might with the next." She felt love was so complicated, that saying someone only had one true love, was like saying everyone else didn't exist. But at the same time, if someone had found their special someone, and wanted to be with that person forever, then she would only cheer them on.
She chuckled "that's a nice thought, I like it," she laughed for a bit, by the thought of it, and then for a second she thought of them, of her and Evan, and while she wasn't naive enough to believe he wanted more from her, she would like to see him again. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there was something about him "Were you serious about wanting to go camping with me?" she asked, looking up at him, and holding his hand gently in her own, as they left the city part of Gaia, and walked towards the forest and mountains.

Evan nodded, agreeing with her statement, but at the same time he didn't know if he liked putting it in the way of moving on to the next. He was far from innocent in being with other women, but often those type of relationships had been established as being brief or simply for the company of one another. But this feeling he was getting about Persephone wasn't like that, but it wasn't quite love either. Perhaps it was to be considered more like a seed that had been planted, and now it was up to both of them to tend to that seed until it started to grow. Only then they could see where this relationship was heading.
They moved out of Gaia, making Evan feel strangely more at ease as he could smell the pines of the forest from the path they were walking. Her question made him nod, looking at her with a serious gaze. "But perhaps I should take you out on a few more dates first? Just so that you don't think I'm some crazy axe murderer," he suggested, however a certain playfulness in his eyes. This was his way of saying that seeing her again wasn't a possibility, it was destined to be a reality. "But yeah, I think it would be fun - I could set it all up, all you would have to do is show up and have fun," he added.

She laughed deeply at his comment, about not being an axe murderer, which she didn't expect him to be, but one could never be sure about that "More dates do sound like something I would love to, I mean I do enjoy your company, and you're funny and kind, not to say incredibly handsome." It was insane how handsome Evan was, she wasn't actually sure how it was possible for one person to be that attractive "But I've never tried camping before, and I've heard it's a good way to learn about someone else, so if you're not scared about the possibility of me being an axe murderer too, then maybe we should do that? I've heard it's healthy to do things that could scare you," she looked up at him and raised an eyebrow "Plus nature is beautiful, and who knows maybe we'll see something exciting," she didn't know if camping with him meant sleeping in the same tent as him, but that was something she also wanted to try, the idea of sleeping next to someone and being close to that person "And I want to do some of the work too, you don't have to do everything yourself," even if he did have the muscles to do it.

There was just something about the way she spoke, the way she moved, everything about her just seemed to harmonize for him, making everything she did like a sweet song just for him. She returned to the conversation about camping, and the more she spoke about it, the more he liked the idea - if that was even possible at this point. Normally camping was something he did by himself, but having someone along would be a nice change of pace. "Alright ... I promise you we'll go camping, but until I've set everything up with the place we can stay, how about a few minor dates then? I mean just taking you out for coffee or maybe even a stroll?" he suggested. He wasn't shooting the idea down, far from it, but he didn't want her just waiting around.
They moved further away from Gaia, but he didn't worry much about finding his way back, he was more entranced by their conversation. "How about we say a couple of weeks from now? It would still be within the summer holiday, and we could go away for a few days?" he suggested. A couple of weeks would make him at least somewhat prepared, and if he could stretch his hound form until he picked her up, then there would be no accidents happening either.

She looked up at him and nodded "I like the sound of that," of course that meant he wanted to see her again, and she wanted to see him. She liked the fact he wasn't dismissing about everything, but he actually seemed engaging, wanting to set up more dates or go somewhere, he was pretty much unlike anyone she'd ever met before and she liked that fact "Coffee date, and a stroll through the market?" she suggested, looking up at him, maybe she should give him her number, as they had only texted through Tinder and that way it would be a lot simpler.
She had rested her head on his shoulder, as they walked up through the mountains, and as he set a potential date for the trip, with that being a few weeks into the future, she nodded once again "A few days in the forest, before having to go to the school, just you and me...I like that, it's a deal." Her smile got bigger, as she looked up at him "are we to share a tent together? Because that would be nice," she wasn't sure if he wanted to talk these details for the trip, when the time came around.

He liked those ideas, mostly because it was so simple things. Just going out for a coffee would at least mean seeing her, and he was more than willing to spend time with her. The way she rested her head against his shoulder was making him feel a fuzzy feeling inside, like the one he had had a couple of times in his life but never truly explored. However it wasn't unpleasant, rather it was soothing his soul and his aching heart. Nodding at her words, it would indeed be nice just to take a couple days away from the city, however he had an idea that she might like it more once she would see his plans come to life. "I mean, I've only got one tent, so if you don't mind," he chuckled at her answer, but it was clear from everything that she wouldn't mind sleeping in the same tent as him. Her words clearly stating that it would be pleasant for her.
"But I'm not going to spill anything else about this, alright, I want to plan it out nicely - The only thing that you might need to be mindful of is bringing your own food," he said, in a pondering tone. He wouldn't know the first thing about buying blood, and what if he bought the wrong kind? He wasn't willing to mess that up, so she would have to do that herself. "Also, some warm clothes for the evenings," he said, although he had already made a mental note to bring an extra sweater, just in case.
