Seeking Revenge... [Yuna&MysticSparxman's 1x1]



Her body - fists especially - hadn't fully stopped shaking. Standing up in the heels, she tried to take deep breaths. When that didn't work ... she turned so her back was facing Dante. He would see her hand raise ... and then a loud smack echoed. As her own impact landed, she bit on her lower lip to keep from wincing. Get a grip! You're seven-fucking-teen! Not seven! Gods sakes, you're stronger than this! The desire to cry had finally left and when she was damn well sure of it, she grabbed her plate and joined Dante. Even as she got beside him to was her plate off, there was still a bit of red.


"...I feel like I was." She finally replied back softly, her head still shaking. Untying the apron, she hung it back up, going back to her dishes. The offer to join her was .... certainly interesting. Fewer vampires dared to join up hunters to help get rid of their own kind. It would definitely make quite the interesting and strong ally. "I'll think on that offer too." Just as Dante often said the phrase, 'Whether you believe it or not', she was beginning to find herself doing the same with agreeing to contemplate on ideas.

As she finished washing her dishes off, she used a dry cloth to get any water or soap off her hands. The clicking of her heels echoed on the floor as she waited outside the kitchen for him to finish. Rubbing the side of her neck not immediately in view of where she was now - her right - she rubbed it absentmindedly. His offer on biting ... that she had thought of before falling asleep and a bit after waking up. She would take it ... but she would purposely wait at least till tomorrow if not the day after, when he would need it. That way it'd be fulfilling for them both.

Her hand massaged her neck gently for a bit longer before her hands intertwined with one another and rested in front of herself. "....Ready when you are." She finally called out gently, exhaling softly to help herself remain calm. She went silent, awaiting for him to finish and begin the tour .... and possibly chores. She wasn't sure if he was immediately going to kill two birds with one stone, per se. But she did know both would happen, one way or another.
 


Dante hadn’t really expected Trinity to react the way she did when she had gotten back to her feet. He hadn’t really expected her to give herself a slap across the face. Even though he was surprised by it, he didn’t say anything about it, and instead he continued to wash up his plate and everything else that he had used. It wasn’t long afterwards that Trinity joined him at the sink, and he smiled a little bit as she went on to tell him that she would think over his offer of joining her on a hunt one night. Sure, it may have been true that he was a vampire himself, but that didn’t mean that he liked all of the vampires he knew. Dante knew some really bad vampires. He knew some vampires who really did enjoy causing humans harm, scaring them and being downright nasty. It made Dante think that they were the kind of vampires that Trinity would want to be hunting. Well, he knew they would be the kind of vampires he would want to hunt if he were a hunter.

It didn’t really take him too long to finish washing up his dishes, and as soon as he had washed and dried them up, he put them away in the places they were supposed to go. Dante had noticed that Trinity had walked out of the kitchen as he had been finishing up with his dishes, and he was just finishing putting them away when she had called out to him. Turning on his heel after putting away the last dish, Dante made his way out of the kitchen.

Once out of the kitchen, he looked to Trinity with a small smile on his face. ”Okay, let us begin this tour.” With that said, he started walking and motioned for her to follow him. The first stop of the tour was about halfway down the hallway. Dante stopped at a door to his right and he pushed it open and looked inside. ”This here is one of the study rooms.” He looked back to Trinity before turning his attention back to the study room. The room was of a relative size with peachy coloured walls. There was one window in the room to let in a little bit of light, and covering the window was a set of blinds. There was also an oak desk in the room with a lamp by the desk. A small, yet comfy looking chair was in the room, along with a small two seater couch, just in case anyone would want to relax. ”As you can see, this is just basic for a study room. There really isn’t too much in here.” He said, looking back to Trinity once more. ”And I just thought I should let you know that this tour is going to take a fair amount of time. It is why we are starting the tour now.” He would let her check out the study room before continuing with the tour of his….and now….her home.
 


By the time he had began the tour, the stinging sensation was mostly gone from her cheek now; though it was still a bit red from the impact it had left. She had to gaze down every now and again to remind herself that the clicking she was hearing upon the floor was the heels she was wearing. With what she recalled in her room, she realized she would need to get used to this .. for a while. Then again, she didn't overly mind the attire. Change was good she had heard; now was no exception it seemed.

As they arrived at the study, she noted Dante's pace had slowed - stopped even. It took but a few seconds for her to understand ... he wanted her to check the room, get used to it. Carefully slipping past him, she began walking examining the entire room, keeping her hands behind her back for the time being. This was after all a tour; it wouldn't necessarily yet mean she was going to use every room she would be immediately shown. Her head shook no slowly as a light smile crossed her face. "That's fine. We're - hunters that is - are prone to needing to be patient. I don't mind if it takes a bit."

Hopefully the shoes wouldn't be too much a bother. She remembered the blisters her mother got in those horrid things and it had been one reason Trinity had avoided stepping into them for the longest time. Standing beside him as she finished, she gave a light nod. It was weird ... ironic even still. She had accepted, especially after the truth had hit her - slapped rather, that she was still following behind a vampire. But he really, as he had been saying, did not have the typical mannerisms at all. How is he the single one? And pure still at that matter? He was doing more for her than she deserved; especially after attempted murder. Shoving the thoughts aside for now, she waited for his lead before following behind.
 


Since Dante knew what just about every room in his home looked like, he didn’t really need to look inside to know what was inside each room. However, he did notice that Trinity almost seemed surprised that he wanted her to check the rooms out herself. He got the feeling that she simply thought that he was going to show her one room and then move onto the next. Sure, that was something he could have done, but then in his eyes, that wouldn’t have made it a tour. Dante stood at the door to the study room as Trinity had walked inside to check the room out. Of course he didn’t know if she would have any use for the room in the future. That would be up to her and whether she would need to use it or not. He wasn’t going to stop her if she would want to use the study room. There again, it was only one study room of many that were in his home.

As soon as she had finished checking out the study room and walked back out, he closed the door behind them and he was about to start walking when he looked down to what she was wearing on her feet. Afterwards, his eyes met with hers once more. ”You do know that if you are uncomfortable in those heels, you can take them off as I’m showing you around inside. However, if you do take them off, I’m not sure if you’re going to want to remain barefoot when I show you around outside. Not that you have to worry about stepping on anything outside, because….well…you don’t.” He smiled a little bit before he started walking down the hallway once more.

The tour stopped in the same hallway all but a few moments later. This time, Dante stopped at a door to his left. Well, it wasn’t just a door. It was a set of pine double doors in an arch like shape. Stopping in front of the doors, Dante pushed them open to reveal a large and spacious living room. Light was flooding into the room through the four large windows around the room. The room was painted in snowy white colour. Just like Dante’s room, there was a chandelier on the ceiling, but unlike his room, there were two chandeliers to light the room. There were also smaller lights on the walls. For decoration, there were some paintings hung up on the walls, and a few small statue heads. Dante also had some flowers in the living room too, and from the looks of it, they were fresh flowers too. There was a very old looking grandfather clock up against the left wall of the living room. As for furniture, Dante had laminate flooring on the ground, and he had a large white leather corner couch in the centre of the living room. There was also a matching white large comfy looking chair and an oak coffee table just in front of the couch. Up on the wall in front of the couch was a 50 inch flat screen plasma television, and the remote was on the coffee table. There was also a dvd player too. There was a bookshelf with plenty of books, and a computer off to the right. After he had pushed open the doors, he waited for Trinity to come and check out the living room. ”This here is the living room. It can be nice to come in here to relax sometimes. At least it is if you don’t want to relax in your room, outside or in the pool or jacuzzi.” He smiled a little more before looking back into the living room.
 


"Oh ... no no, it's fine. I ... just ... since I don't wear heels much, I forget how they're prone to making such loud noises and echoes. That's all." For now, she really was fine with them, they hadn't been nearly as much of a hassle as she had slightly been worried about. During the walk down the hall, she let her eyes look curiously upon any paintings, decorations or lights that were in the hall before their next destination. The intricate patterns upon the next door hinted it was somehow important, large in size, or both.

As the room got revealed, it was easy to see it was definitely the latter. "...Oh wow ..." She murmured softly, stepping in to get a much better room. Even with all the pieces of furniture, there was also ample room for something that ... she had no idea where the abrupt urge to practice this came from .... but where one could easily practice dancing. It ... just seemed to have a ballroom-like feel to it; one she couldn't get rid of. It may have been the chandeliers, grandfather clock, both or .. something else even. But that was another thing she would definitely note to do when she had the chance. Walking around the couch and getting a better look at everything, she then walked back beside Dante.

"It's really nice so far." And then .... did he say pool and jacuzzi? Damn this could easily pass off as a place people could definitely pay to stay at if he so desired one of these days. Moving some of her hair behind an ear, she gave a nod, a much more evident smile now on her face. The guide was definitely making her - temporarily or otherwise - forget about her past. Maybe ... staying with him wouldn't be as bad as she had thought to begin with. Maybe.... she really had judged him too harshly. Finally, it seemed, his words were beginning to sink in; not all vampires seemed the same after all so far.
 


Dante simply nodded his head as Trinity told him how she was fine in the heels she was wearing. He didn’t say anything more on the matter because he thought it was her choice to wear the heels. Still, he had never really been able to see the fascination women had with heels. It really did make him wonder how they were able to walk in them. Of course Dante did think he would ask Trinity at some point, but for the time being, he decided not to. Instead, he watched her as she entered the living room and took a look around. There was a small smile on his face as he watched her take a look around the living room. He was glad that she seemed to like it, but he knew that there were still a lot of rooms that he needed to show her.

When she had stepped out of the living room to stand beside him once again, he stepped forward and closed the two large doors to the living room, and then he turned back to Trinity once more with a smile on his face. ”Ah, well I’m glad you’re liking it so far. Just think that I’ve only shown you two rooms so far. I’ve still got so much more that I’m going to need to show you too.” He said with a nod of his head. It was after this that he glanced down towards her heels once again. ”If you are comfortable in them, then feel free to keep them on your feet, but you can take them off at any time.” He smiled a little. ”Still, I’ve never really been able to understand why women wear heels. They look so uncomfortable to walk in, they really do. Anyway, let’s continue with the tour.” With that said, he started walking once again, heading down the hallway.

There were no other rooms that he needed to show her in the hallway, so Dante made it to the end of the hallway and back out into the foyer once more. Once out in the foyer, he looked up towards the stairs for a brief moment, considering showing her a few of the things that were upstairs. Hmm, maybe later. He looked past the stairs to a hallway that was directly in front of him. ”This way.” He looked back over his shoulder to Trinity as he headed towards the hallway just in front of him. The hallway was painted in a crimson red colour and there were lights on walls on either side of the hallway. Along the hallway were a number of different doors. He stopped at the first door to his right and pushed it open. ”This here is another study room.” He looked back to Trinity as he had said this. ”Similar to the first one I showed you.” He gave her the chance to take a look inside, but it really was similar to the first one he had shown her. In fact, it was practically the same other than the fact it was ever so slightly smaller than the first study room he had shown her. When he was sure that she had seen the second study room, he closed the door and continued on down the hallway, heading towards the next room he was going to show her.
 


Her head shook no as Dante mentioned the heels. "No bloody clue. I'm astounded they're not bothering me as much as I thought, given I've never worn them myself before. But my mom used to a lot so I saw how you should be walking in them and keeping your posture." She had been about to joke that she was only wearing them because the vampire whom had turned him had probably been quite the womanizer. But then ... why had he been turned by another male vampire to begin with? That ... made her inwardly cringe. He had chosen an attractive person - granted - but ... yeah she shoved that away quickly.

As another study was shown to her, she almost wondered if this had been the same room. They looked so similar .. but the main thing which had given away it was different was the direction they had gone. It had been away from where they began the tour, not towards. As she walked around, she paused before asking, "....Sorry if this isn't exactly my concern but ... how old are you anyways?" Or was the better wording 'were'? She hadn't really looked up much on humans that were forced to become vampires so she wasn't sure if he was still the age he had been and was doing so slowly now ... or if his body had adjusted to age as if he had been a full vampire. Though ... she went with the first. It made more sense to her.

"Seventeen." She replied as she walked back beside him, pointing to herself to hint she would be fair and return the favor. Once beside him, she began to head to the next room which, from his pace, he seemed to already know of. In fact, if Trinity didn't know much better, she would have sworn he had planned quite a bit of this all out.
 


He laughed a little bit at her comment about the heels she was wearing. He thought of it as being rather funny that she didn’t even know why women normally wore heels, yet here she was wearing them herself. The thought of it all was just rather funny to him, even if he didn’t understand the reasoning behind any of it. Just as he had done with the first two rooms he had shown her, he stood at the door as he showed her the second study room. He saw her looking around the second study room, and then he was surprised when she had asked him how old he was. Dante was debating on whether or not he should tell her, but then she went ahead and told him how old she was.

As he started to walk towards the next room he was going to show her, he turned his attention back towards her with a small smile. ”Well I was nineteen when I was turned.” He paused for a few moments after having told her this. ”Now, I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to be aging now that I’m a vampire. Other vampires I know…others who have been turned and are much older than me have told me that I will probably age much slower since I was turned. I honestly have no idea what I’m going to look like sixty years from now.” He continued to walk down the hallway and stopped at the next door on his right. Pulling it open, he took a look inside and waited for Trinity. ”This here is nothing special really. This is just a small…ish closet.” It wasn’t actually that small in all honesty. The closet he had opened the door to was larger than most closets. It was around the size of the walk in closet in both Dante and Trinity’s rooms. ”This is where you can put your coats, jackets and stuff like that if you’d rather not put it in your own closet.” He waited until she had taken a look and then he closed the door once more.

Dante turned and headed down the hallway, and the next door he opened was on his left side this time round. Stopping just outside the door, he pulled it open and took a look inside. It was a smaller version of the first living room he had shown her. Unlike the second study room he had shown her, the second living room wasn’t exactly the same. There was only one chandelier hung up on the middle of the ceiling, and there was an ordinary clock up on the wall. There wasn’t a grandfather clock in the second living room, and there weren’t as many windows either. There were only two windows in the second living room. The room was painted in a powder blue colour, and there was a dark blue carpet on the floor. As far as furniture was concerned, there was a blue couch in the middle of the room. It wasn’t a leather couch like the couch in the larger living room, but it was just as comfortable. There were matching blue cushions on the couch, and then there was also a smaller two seater blue couch to the left of the larger blue couch. Just like in the larger living room, there was an oak coffee table in the centre of the room, and there was a television up on the wall too. Dante also had a few paintings up on the walls in the living room too. He looked back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”This here is the second, yet somewhat smaller living room.” He looked back into the living room once more as he waited for her to check it out.
 


Her head nodded lightly. "That's what I've heard as well. There are a lot of the theories though I've never been able to ... 'test' or figure out. So I'm trying to go by logic more than anything." After the tour of the closet, another thought hit hit ... and made her chuckle softly. "... The first living room had a computer in it. Do you mean to tell me you don't know how to use it? That could have given you - still can - answers faster than me, you know? I had to do it the harder way because my parents couldn't afford one so I used books. You ... you have an easier way. Take advantage of that." Her own smile crossed her lips as she continued following, winding up now at a second study.

Maybe because this one had less modern furniture, this had a better 'ballroom' feel to it. More than that, she doubted he used this one much more ... and it thus made it even easier to figure out which room to use for her - still somewhat strange - desires to self-teach herself dancing. Repeating the same procedure with moving around the couch, she then found herself beside Dante again. Waiting for him to take the lead before following once again.
 


Dante watched as she checked out the second and somewhat smaller living room, and then as she had walked back out of it, he closed the door before turning his attention back to her as he thought over what she had said to him. Sure, the other living room did have a computer, but Dante didn’t really use it too much. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to use it, as he did….to a certain extent. He started walking again a moment or so later, looking back to her as he had started walking. ”You say you haven’t really been able to ‘test’ out some of these theories.” He spoke in a somewhat curious manner. ”How would you go about testing these theories anyway?” He clasped his hands behind his back as he headed down the hallway, and then he thought about what she had said about the computer in the other living room. ”Umm….well I know how to use it to a certain extent.” He smiled a little bit. ”I know how to turn it on, and I know how to use it….kind of, but I just don’t use it a lot. However, you are free to use it if you wish.” He smiled to her as they continued on down the hallway.

A few doors down the hall, Dante stopped and turned to face one door. He pushed it open to reveal a conservatory. It was a fairly large one at that, and it had a few deck chairs in it, a table and some more chairs that were slightly more comfortable looking than the deck chairs. Outside of the conservatory was a view of one of the rather large gardens surrounding the mansion, and there was a glass sliding door that would have led outside. Dante waited for Trinity as he looked into the conservatory. ”As you can see, this here is the conservatory.” He looked back to her, waiting for her to check it out. As soon as she had checked it out, Dante closed the door and started walking once more. A minute or so later, he reached the end of the hallway and turned left into a different hallway. Walking about halfway down the hall, he stopped and turned to his left again. Dante stood in front of two large doors, similar to the doors of the first living room. As he stood in front of them, he focused on Trinity once more. ”You like to read, yes?” He smiled a little as he had asked this, and then he stepped forward, pushing open the large doors to reveal an incredibly large library.

The library itself was huge. It was by far the biggest room he had shown her so far, and the chances were likely that it was going to be the biggest room that he was going to show her in the whole of the mansion. There was row upon row of bookshelves, and these weren’t what you would call small bookshelves either. These bookshelves were of the large variety. Just on the inside of the library and to the right was a set of stairs that would lead to the second floor of the library. There appeared to be hundreds of bookshelves, and there must have been thousands of books in there too. The books all seemed to vary in topic too, ranging from horror novels, to fan fiction, to action, to real life crime. There were also tables and chairs to sit at too scattered throughout the library. Dante turned to look back to Trinity a second later. ”There’s books in here on just about everything you could ever imagine.” He smiled a little bit before looking back to the library. ”I like some of the horror novels that are in here.” He waited for her to check out the library, wondering what she might think of it. ”This isn’t the only library in this mansion. There is another one, but it’s nowhere near as big as this one.”
 


"....Um ..... " That made her quickly go silent as her head bowed. A bit of her wasn't genuinely sure with some but with others - and it had been why she blushed at all - would have been done through 'trial and error'. Whether a turned vampire could still give a living human children was, for one, example. Her head shook no as she quickly answered, "Heh, not sure ...." She hated lies - white or otherwise - but still she didn't know how to begin to say the real answer either. That'd seem too ... rushed? Yes that was a fair word.

Thankfully, she forced her focus to remain on the tour and it didn't take too long for the crimson to - mostly - fade away. Her smile widened at the sight of the conservatory. As she finished her inspection of that, Trinity followed Dante again but not before he took his turn to ask a question. She gave a light nod. "...Yes, I do." True she hadn't had time to read for leisure as of late, but that didn't mean she wouldn't do so. She had been ready to ask why ... before she found herself staring at it.

If she hadn't known better, she'd almost sworn she was now in the Disney version of the movie "Beauty and the Beast". Huge mansion that could have easily been altered into a castle, living in a society where certain things were 'taboo' or wrong with vampires being said items in this case, a massive library .... and all belonging to what society deemed the wrong 'person', or type of. Yet, here she was ... as his guest? Was it only that? It seemed like it for now but ... time could change anything she knew. "...Holy ..." She murmured, the muscles in her legs finally managing to help her walk in.

If she had heard his words on the second library or not, she didn't show hints of this very well. Going from shelf to shelf, she finally seemed to find her voice again. "...Were ... all these just here as well? Gods ..." As she walked, she dug her right index finger into her thumb, wincing a bit. This ... almost felt and seemed like quite the dream for a bit. But the wince had proven it was anything but that. Quickly realizing there would be no way for her to check all the shelves out fast enough and aside from the tour, there were other things to do, she made herself walk out and go back beside Dante.
 



He smiled a little as he watched Trinity looking around the library. He could see the look of surprise on her face as she was taking a look around, and there was a part of him that was able to understand that surprise, especially when he thought about how big the library really was. Dante often liked to spend time in the library himself, even though he never really visited the library as often as he would have liked to. Despite all of the time he had been living in the mansion, he still had never really seen all of the books that were in the library. There just seemed to be so many books there, but at the same time, he couldn’t really complain.

Dante waited for Trinity to join him back outside of the library, and he turned his attention back to her once more after hearing the question she had asked him. He responded by nodding his head. ”Yes, all of these books were here when I moved in here. I believe these books were also here when the other vampire moved in here before me too.” Dante glanced back inside the library a moment or so later. ”I don’t know how many books are in this library, but if I were to guess, I would have to say there’s…..thousands. I think some of the books in this library are even older than me. There might be some that are older than the vampire who lived here before me too, but I can’t be sure as I’ve not seen all of the books here in this library.” He paused for a moment before continuing. ”There are a few books here in this library that even I don’t understand. I’ve seen some that are in some strange languages. I don’t mean some foreign language either. There’s the possibility some of these books could be in some ancient languages, but I’m not too sure.” He had focused on Trinity as he had said this. ”I will be sure to show you some of these books later, and feel free to spend some of your time here if you wish to later on. Also, if you do take a book out of here, just remember to put it back where you found it.” He smiled again before closing the doors to the library.

As soon as he had closed the doors to the library, Dante started walking once again, and he continued to make his way down the hallway. He walked right down to the end of the hallway and made a right turn that was at the end of the hall. Afterwards, he followed the hallway around, taking a few different twists and turns along the hallway in the process. As she was following him, Trinity would come to see just why it would be so easy to get lost in the large mansion. During the time that Dante had been walking through the hallway, there were windows on either side of him, looking out into the gardens of the mansion.

It wasn’t long before he started to come up to the next room that he was going to show her. He had just turned left into yet another hallway, and he was slowing his pace down ever so slightly. Dante soon came to a stop outside a door on his right side. He pushed open the door to take a look inside as he waited for Trinity. The room he was going to show her now was the music room in the mansion. It was another room of considerable size, painted in a nice snowy white colour. There was a large stage right at the end of the room with seating just below the stage. Also in the room was a variety of different musical instruments. There were guitars, a piano, keyboards, flutes, trombones, and a variety of other instruments too. There was even a drum kit and a harp in there. All of the instruments were in good condition, but clearly they had all been unused for quite some time. Dante stepped aside for Trinity so she could enter the room. ”Here is the music room.” He stated. ”I don’t play any of these instruments in here, but I do keep them in good condition…..well I try to anyway.” He looked back inside the music room again. ”I’m not sure if you know how to play any of these, but if you do, then they are here for you to play.” He smiled a little bit as he was looking inside the music room. ”I think you might like the next room I’m going to show you after this….I think so anyway.” Dante didn’t know whether she would like it, but he was guessing. Of course he wasn’t going to tell her what that room was going to be, but he already knew.
 


Just from the quick walk around she had done, Trinity was pretty certain that not only were there thousands of books but some may have been older than whomever turned him. The 'strange languages' ones, she would have to definitely be shown later because that had certainly gotten her attention. "Yes ... please do show me those later." Strange could have meant another language like Spanish or French. She knew a few; not perfectly but she still did know some of the words. That was what she would go assuming for now given she doubted it could be like in the movies how some vampires made up their own written language with cryptic symbols and stuff. Unique as that would be ... she highly doubted that was actually it.

Next was a music room and though Trinity didn't say anything aloud, she definitely noted this room also. It would mainly be for the flute and piano, both of which she had played before. As she walked around said instruments, she allowed her eyes to get a quick glance down at them. Both seemed to be in really nice shape as Dante had said, especially the piano. With enough time to pass, those could easily malfunction if not properly looked after. She gave a smile and a nod. "You do from what I've noticed."

Her head looked up while heading back to his side before gazing back in front of her. "Looks like you've done a good job of maintaining everything here really. Especially without any help prior to finding me." Off the top of Trinity's head, she couldn't think of many more rooms that she may like so ... she was curious why the next one would get her attention.
 


Dante didn’t really have too much of a problem with showing Trinity some of the books that were in strange languages a little later. Of course he didn’t really understand any of them, and he didn’t know if she would understand them either. Dante did think that it would be somewhat of a bonus if she were able to understand some of them though, but he wasn’t going to hold his breath. Not that it bothered him too much if she couldn’t understand any of them. He would just have to find out whether she would understand any of them when he would eventually get round to showing her. Dante knew that he wouldn’t be able to show her right away though. Maybe later in the day when the tour was over and when she had done the tasks he would end up asking of her. Either way, he was sure that he would find the time to show her the books. At the same time though, he was glad that she did seem to like the library.

He had stood outside and watched as she had went on to take a look around the music room. Dante saw the way she was looking at some of the instruments in the music room, so it did cross his mind that there was the possibility she knew how to play some of them. There was a smile on his face as he listened to what Trinity had to say to him. ”Well I might not know how to use any of these instruments, but I do like to at least try to keep them in good shape, even if it is only cleaning them.” He did glance over towards the piano a second or so later though. ”I do think that the piano might need a little tuning though. It’s been a while since I last tried to do that. Still, I’m glad you seem to think that I’ve been doing a good job in maintaining these instruments.” He smiled a little more before stepping back out of the music room. ”Come on, I will show you the next room in this tour. It is one I am sure you might like. I know I like it, but I have no real reason to go in there.” It was all he was really going to say to her on the matter of where he was going to show her next. Of course to her, it could mean just about anything.

As he had done for the tour so far, he waited until Trinity was done looking around the music room, and when she had returned to his side once more, he closed the door and started to walk once again. ”This way.” He glanced back over his shoulder at her with a small smile as he continued on down the hallway. Dante walked down the hallway, making a left turn when he reached the end of the hall. He was walking at a relatively slow pace, just so that Trinity would be able to keep up with him, especially since she was still walking in her heels. Dante walked down the hallway until he reached the end, and when he reached the end of the hallway, there were two large white wooden doors in front of him. Also, the hallway split in two directions, going left and right. Dante didn’t want to go either way. Instead, he stepped in front of the doors and looked back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”I have come to understand that women in general like to dance, yes?” He had a curiosity to his voice as he had said this to her. ”I believe this is what this room is for.”With that said, he placed his hands on the golden door handles, pushed them down and then pushed open the two doors to reveal the ballroom of the mansion. After he had pushed open the doors, he took a step forward and looked back to Trinity. ”This is the place where people dance….a ballroom I think it’s called.” He lightly scratched the back of his head a little bit before letting his hand fall to his side. ”I know it’s nothing special, and I don’t normally have a reason to come in here as I not only have no idea how to dance, but until you came along, I have had no female company here. However, I think the one who turned me made use of this room quite a lot. I believe he must have had female company here on a regular basis, hence the dresses in your room. Anyway, I have done what I could to keep this place as nice and clean as possible.” He looked back into the ballroom one more time. ”Take a look around and when you are ready to continue, I will show you around some more.”
 


... Son of a .... As the doors opened to reveal a ballroom, it couldn't help but make Trinity wonder if he had been reading her mind somehow. "Well ... those who can be taught it yes." Compared to other nations, England didn't have as strict of a caste system. But there was somewhat of one; though it mainly depended upon your financial status more than anything. Those ... usually 'upper class' could be taught the easiest to afford the lessons best. Mentally taking note of the doors and where they were first, she then walked inside to get a better look.

It then made her mind wander on whom exactly had turned her. It'd be hard to have so many women unless he was very charming or ... dominating and made them dance with him, among other things. "Well ... I wouldn't say it's not special. But it is definitely harder to understand the significance when you have little experience in said room." Her head tilted up to gaze at the ceilings and decorations upon them before returning to in front of her. After making a slight circle in the ballroom, she found herself back at Dante's side again.
 



Dante took a look around the ballroom as Trinity had gone on to explain that the ballroom was actually used for dancing….or at least it was for those who knew how to dance. Dante figured this was one of the reasons he didn’t really know what the room was used for. Sure, he knew where it was and he did keep it in good condition, but it was like he had said to her. He didn’t really have much of a use for it not only because he couldn’t really dance, but also because he had no-one to dance with, even if he did know how to dance. This did make him wonder though. I wonder if she knows how to….dance. He lightly scratched the top of his head as he thought this. Dante continued to watch Trinity as she walked around inside of the ballroom, and as he watched her, he was beginning to think that there was the possibility she did seem to like the ballroom.

He remained at the entrance of the ballroom as Trinity was looking around inside. As he had done before, he waited for her to return to his side, and as she had done, he stepped forward and closed the doors. Afterwards, he turned to face Trinity with a curious look upon his face. ”You like the ballroom, yes?” He asked in a curious tone. ”Do you know how to dance at all?” Dante only thought he would ask simply because of how curious he had been feeling about it. ”If you do know how to dance, then be sure to remember your way here. However, I am not too sure who you would end up dancing with, as I do not know how to dance. I’ve not danced once in my life.” He paused for a moment after having said this. ”That goes for my human life and my life as a vampire.” He laughed a little bit at this before he looked from his left and then to his right. It was after this that Dante turned his attention back to Trinity once more. ”Which way? Left or right?”[/color ]He asked in a curious tone, smiling as he did so. Either way, no matter which way she would choose to go, Dante would still know what was where, so he would know what to show her on the tour.
 


She gave an approving nod with a smile. "I do, yes." As he went on, now she really wondered .. and asked aloud ... "...Have you been reading my mind? Or is it just that easy to read me? At any rate ... a few basics, yes. Nothing overly fancy but ... some, yes." She said nothing, however, to the last question ... especially as he revealed he had no idea how to dance at all. As they came to the options of being able to go either left or right, she was a bit astounded to be given a choice this time. Not because he seemed demanding, but rather she thought he had this all planned out. Ah well, she wouldn't complain. "...Right it is." She replied back.

Even with all the walking she had been doing, it seemed ...a bit cold. Then again, one of her shoulders was completely exposed due to the design of the dress and that probably wasn't helping. It didn't truly begin to bother her ... until her chest began trying to react, making her inwardly panic. But she didn't show it upon her face; that would definitely give away something was bothering her. Rubbing her right shoulder softly with her left arm, she got ready to follow behind and see what was down the path to the right.
 


Dante smiled a little bit as Trinity told him that she did know how to dance, but then he couldn’t help but laugh at the question that followed. After he had stopped laughing, he looked back to her and he shook his head. ”I think it would be much easier if I was able to read your mind, I really do. Still, I’m not even sure if there are many vampires capable of doing such a thing. As for being able to read you, well it’s not easy, but there again, it’s not too hard either.” He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. ”At the same time though, that does not mean that I knew you may have liked this room because you may have known how to dance. I simply assumed you may have liked it because…..well…I don’t know actually.” He lightly scratched the top of his head as he had said this. In all honesty, he wasn’t too sure why he had thought Trinity would like the ballroom. ”I think I thought you would have liked it because I had heard how much females often liked to dance. Despite the fact you are a hunter, you are also a woman, so I assumed you would have been the same, hence the fact I thought you would like the ballroom.” He said to her as she went on to tell him that she wanted them to go right.

With a nod of his head, Dante turned right and started walking down the hallway to the right. It took them about one minute to reach the end of the hall, and at the end of the hallway was a left turn, which Dante took. He walked along the hallway, stopping around thirty seconds later in front of another set of double doors to his right. Dante pushed these open and walked into a very short hallway. A matter of a few seconds later, he was pushing open another set of double doors. Dante kept the doors open as he looked back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”Since you are a hunter, I am sure you would be able to make use of this room.” He motioned to the room in front of him. The room he was now showing her was the gym room in the mansion. Well, one of the gym rooms anyway. It was around the same size as the ballroom, maybe even bigger. There was plenty of hi-tech equipment in the gym too. There were treadmills, rowing machines, weight benches, weight machines, cross trainers, boxing bags, skipping ropes, dumb bells. There was the kind of equipment a gym was supposed to have and so much more. ”This is one of the rooms I frequently visit. It is good if you wish to keep yourself in shape. It is also good to get stronger.” He looked back to Trinity as he kept the double doors open for her.
 


"Well ... I can see where the logic would fit in. But for the most part, I'm what most would define as a 'tomboy'. Meaning, I'm more into ... things most women aren't. Hunting is proof of that. Another is the outfit you saw me in. The more ... usual women wear what I do always, regardless of whether there appears to be a reason or not. Still, the guess was good enough this time." If he was turned, Dante might be doing a few things without realizing it. She had heard most vampires could seduce and dominate women by merely gazing at them; it may have explained why she had almost felt so weird last night. Especially with the strip tease she had given him.

As the gym got introduced, she mentally noted to get workout and normal clothes. To make up for her strength and speed being on par with a normal vampires, she did forms of exercises rather often. Granted, she had never been able to do so with actual equipment before now so this would be even better. Taking time to walk in and better study everything, she walked back to Dante's side as she finished.
 



Of course Dante had next to no idea what Trinity had meant when she had told him that she was what most would call a ‘tomboy.’ He wasn’t even sure if he had heard the expression before, and he didn’t know what it meant until she went on to explain what it meant. As she was explaining what it meant to him, he started thinking, especially when she mentioned the outfit that she had been wearing when he had first seen her. As he thought about the outfit she had been wearing, Dante had to admit that she had looked different, but there again, he wasn’t sure if that was the kind of thing that women would normally wear anyway. In the end, Dante simply thought it would be better just to take her word for it, so that’s exactly what he did.

Again, Dante waited for Trinity to check out the gym, and he noticed how she was checking out the equipment. There was something that told him that she would make just as much use of the gym as he would, considering the fact she was a hunter and probably wanted to get stronger. Not that he had too much of a problem with her wanting to use the gym to get stronger. That was what it was there for after all. Dante waited until she was back at his side once more, and then he closed the doors. He turned on his heel and walked back along the really short hallway until he reached the second set of double doors. Pushing them open, he stepped back out into the main hallway and waited for Trinity. When she was by his side once again, he looked back to her with a small smile on his face. There was also that same curious look upon his face too. ”You say you are into things that most women are not into. What sort of things are you referring to?” He asked in a curious tone. ”And I did notice the way you were dressed yesterday. Do you mean to tell me that not all women dress that way?”[/color ] He paused for a moment as he thought this over, and then he lightly scratched the top of his head. ”What about the bra and panties you were wearing last night? They looked very….umm….womanly on you. I mean that in a good way of course.” Dante had no idea that she was actually referring to the jeans and top that she had been wearing. ”Does that also mean that you are the only female hunter out there?” Because he had never encountered a hunter before her, he didn’t know whether the majority of hunters were male or female. If he was honest with himself, he had always thought that it was an equal mix.

Shortly after asking his last question, Dante started walking again. He walked down the hallway, taking a right turn when he got to the end. Walking down the next hallway, he stopped about halfway down the hall and turned to his right. Another set of double doors stood in his way, so he pushed them open and stepped into another hallway. Walking down this hallway, he walked to the end and turned right. It wasn’t a long hallway anyway, and when he turned right, he walked to the end and up to another set of double doors. Dante pushed these open to reveal a smaller hallway. This hallway had four doors. Two on the left and two on the right. Two appeared to be changing rooms, and the other two appeared to be something else. The flooring in this hallway was tiled, whereas it had been carpeted in the previous hallway. At the end of this smaller hallway was a third set of double doors. Dante stopped in front of the second door on the right and pushed it open before looking back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”This here is the sauna room.” He stepped aside so that she could take a look inside at the sauna room, and then he moved to the second door on the left. ”And in here, you’ve got the spa and jacuzzi.” He pushed open the door and stepped aside so that Trinity could take a look inside. The jacuzzi inside was made out of stone, and it was white in colour. It was round in shape and quite large at that. It could easily fit in at least a dozen people. Dante let her check out the jacuzzi and spa room before closing the door and walking over to the third set of double doors. He pushed these open to reveal a large indoor pool. The pool room was well lit, and there were even deck chairs along the sides of the pool. There were steps at the shallow end of the pool, making it much easier to get in, and at the deep end of the pool, there was a ladder to get out. There was also a ladder at the halfway point of the pool too. The pool was also quite long, and it was quite deep at the deep end too. Dante looked back over his shoulder to Trinity with a smile. ”As you can see, this here is the pool….well the indoor pool at least. There is also a pool outdoors, but I will show you that when I show you around outside.” He said before looking back to the pool.
 


Her head shook no quickly. "No, definitely not. Some are always in dresses, others ... in outfits similar to what I wear. It all depends really." A low chuckle left. "Well ... " She thought how to word it, "It is true that I do like some of the more typical colors that women do, yes. Pink is - and always has been - one of them." She stopped to think carefully on the female hunter question or not. "That one, I'm not sure of honestly. I'm the only female hunter I know of, yes. I doubt, however, I am the only one period."

Thankfully the next room had a bit more heat than the hallways had due to them holding the sauna, spa, jacuzzi and pool. At least the first for certain did need a bit higher of a temperature to maintain it properly. But prior to this room, her nipples had definitely gotten hard and would have been spotted if she hadn't put her hands in front of them. It'd been taking so much not to cry out or touch herself ... and knowing they may not be even half way done with the tour - certainly not the day - wasn't overly helping.

Still, she gave a light nod, her smile widening as she walked around the room. Taking a few circles in each room, she then went back beside Dante.
 


As he had been watching her check out the pool, Dante didn’t really know if Trinity was going to like it, but he soon got the feeling that she may have liked it when he saw the smile that had formed on her face. Of course he didn’t really know if she was going to make use of the pool in the future, but Dante thought it was up to her anyway. He waited until she had finished walking around, looking at the pool, and when she had returned to his side, he let the double doors close in front of them. Afterwards, he turned on his heel and started to walk back down the hallway that would lead away from the pool. He got through the second set of double doors, and then a minute or so later, he passed through the third set and back out into the main hallway. It was after this that he turned his attention back towards Trinity once more. ”I might not know what kind of clothing women are known to wear, but I always thought that pink was more of a woman’s colour than it was a man’s. As for what clothing you wear, does it usually depend on your mood?” He tilted his head to the side in slight curiosity, wondering how she was going to answer. ”Do you not know if you are the only female hunter around today? You are the first hunter I have encountered….ever, so I don’t really know myself. I am normally very careful when it comes to hunters and avoiding them, but I guess I let my hunger get the better of me yesterday.” He laughed a little bit and lightly scratched the top of his head before letting his hand fall to his side. ”Or would it just be better to ask if you are the only female hunter around this area?”

With that question asked, Dante thought on what else he might need to show Trinity. ”Ah, I know.” He turned and started to make his way down the hallway. He had a fair idea as to where they were going to go next, and he looked back over his shoulder to see if she was still with him. ”So, do you think this tour will help you to find your way around? Or do you think there is still the chance that you might get lost around here?” He smiled a little bit as he had asked this. ”If you think there is the chance you might get lost, then just be sure to ask me where something is, and I can either tell you or show you. I won’t mind either way because it took me a while to learn to get around this place without getting lost.” Dante continued on down to the end of the hall, and he stopped when he got to the end of the hall. At the end of the hallway was a single door. Dante pulled open the door to reveal a flight of stairs that descended down to a lower floor. The lights to the lower floor came on as soon as he had opened up the door, and then he looked back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”Just follow me.” Dante walked through the door and down the stairs. He got to the bottom of the stairs a few moments later and took a look around the room. ”This here is one of the wine cellars. There are at least another three more dotted around this mansion.” Dante looked around the wine cellar, and there were rows upon rows of different bottles of wine. ”Are you a wine drinker Trinity?” He asked with a small smile and a hint of curiosity. ”Some of this stuff really isn’t too bad, especially some of the older wine. That can be really nice sometimes. I don’t mind a bottle now and again.”
 


She gave a light nod at his assumption. "Usually it is, yes." A hand tilted upon the next question, "I think it's more what you want as opposed to what your mood is. Honestly though, that's just me. It all probably depends entirely upon the woman too. As far as if I'm the only female hunter around .... I am the only one I've seen, yes. But that doesn't mean there aren't others. So I'm not sure."

Her head shook no quickly. "Even with the amount of floors, I think I've got it for now." As she followed him, she wound up in a room she most certainly didn't expect; a wine cellar. She stared among all the bottles then chuckled nervously. "Um .. actually ... I ... never have had any type of alcohol before. I generally need to stay sober so there's not much of a point really. But ... I suppose since I'm taking it easy and not intending to, I can give it a try." Besides, like he said, it was an 'every once in a while' type of thing. That did make her feel better.
 



Dante was taking a look around the wine cellar as he was thinking about what had been said to him. He did think that she had a point when she had told him that it would usually depend on the woman too. After all, everyone was different, so he thought it made sense. Not a lot of sense, but it still made sense nonetheless. Dante folded his arms across his chest as he was thinking about this, and a second or so later, he nodded his head in agreement. ”I might not understand a whole lot about women in general, but I feel as if I must agree with you there. After all, everyone is different, so I think it makes sense that the style of clothing a woman would wear would normally depend on the woman herself.” He smiled a little bit afterwards. ”Still, it is your choice as to what you wear. You do not dress like everyone else, so in a way, that would make you almost….unique.” Dante looked back to Trinity in the dress she had picked out as the smile remained on his face. ”Besides, like I said, you do look good in that dress.” This did make him stop to think, and he tilted his head to the side slightly. ”Do you know what kind of clothes you are going to buy when you have the chance?” He asked in a somewhat curious tone.

At first Dante did seem surprised to learn that Trinity had never really consumed any kind of alcohol, but then he didn’t feel so surprised afterwards, especially when he thought about it some more. ”Ah, I guess it makes sense that you haven’t really had any kind of alcohol before. It makes sense to stay sober if you are a hunter.” He laughed a little bit as a thought occurred. ”What use would a drunk hunter be anyway? I can’t imagine that they would turn out to be very good.” He laughed some more before looking back around at some of the bottles of wine that was on the shelves. His lips curled up into a small smile when she told him how she would be willing to give some wine a try. ”Hmm, well if you are willing to give it a try sometime, pick a bottle.” He said, looking to the various different bottles. ”Any bottle.” Dante waited for her to finish taking a look around, and then he started to head back towards the stairs that would take them up and out of the wine cellar. Just as he reached the stairs, he stopped and looked back over his shoulder to Trinity. ”When are you planning on going hunting again anyway?” He asked curiously. Sure, he knew she was a hunter, but he had no idea if she was a hunter who would hunt every night or not.
 


"I could say the same of you being unique yourself." She walked around, gazing at all the bottles as she thought on his question. "Hm .... something along the lines of what you found me for certain. More 'hunting' type clothes, if you would. And though what dresses I did find were nice, I'll get a few of my own. A few skirts, blouses and .... lingerie. Mainly bras and panties." He had asked so there was no point in speaking to him as if he were child. Besides, vampire or not, he had said he was at least 19 years old. He understood what these all meant.

A smirk crossed her face at the image. "Well, some people are actually better with their aim and such while drunk. I ... still wouldn't like to test this theory out with myself though. More likely than not, however, the results won't be good. And as far as when ... the second I have more appropriate clothes and have given myself enough of a training regiment to avoid repeating failure. There really aren't enough ... 'generous' vampires. To have found one at all, I consider myself lucky enough as it is. Knowing if you hadn't been and all the things that probably should have happened .... has been making me do a lot of thinking."

Still walking around, a low sigh left. She hadn't heard many alcoholic terms despite having gone into a pub to figure out where she was supposed to have found Dante. Well .... like he said, just take one and let's do this ... Her hand finally wrapped carefully around one as she held it towards Dante. To be more exact, it was a bottle of red wine. "I've heard this is usually supposed to be one of the best types of wine so if I'm about to have my first ... may as well make it count." Oh the irony of that accidental innuendo .... hopefully he didn't catch onto it. Otherwise it could refer to quite the sensual topic also.
