A date!? Elesia and Michelle

"Eheheh... y-yea, I mean, why would I say that?" Again with a nervous laugh, her eyes looking the other way as she continued to rub the back of her head nervously, Elesia was just glad to be off that topic before it got any worse, desperate to see the subject changed, and then releived when it had been. What she didn't expect though was for the vampire to admit she was feeling the same way, it was like the two of them were madly in love, but couldn't get to just saying it plainly out. And even if that was the case, Elesia wanted to take it slow, she didn't want to screw up something that could really become special.

"I know so." She said back, looking Michelle up and down for a moment, nearly letting her mind wander for the faintest of moments before keeping herself on topic. "It's just... kinda funny really. I did't think I'd meet someone like you on the battle field... er, ring. And I..." She trailed off for a moment, before looking away once more, like she was lacking a little self confidence all of the sudden before so eagerly admitting, "I'm sorry, I'm horrible at this sort of thing, I don't spend time around others really. Y-You were probably just trying to be nice in saying I looked good too, I-I'm horrible at trying to look feminine or dressing up." When it came down to life, her work with Black Cross came first. And after practically becoming dehumanized by them, she had the social skills of a stick. But around Michelle, sh was really having trouble keeping her stone cold aura about her, feeling like a normal high school student all over again.

Michelle wasnt too good at picking up clothes,as she was always wearing her high school uniform. According to her,it gives her more confidence and freedom to say anything she wants. Just some excuses. She didnt like to admit she was only shy with the people she likes. And,as everybody could tell,she was pretty in love with Elesia. Though she was a vampiress and her 'love' was a nun,she didnt care at all about that. She didnt believe in a divisory line that kept vampires one side and clerics the other.

" No...No! You look great! Seriously! " Michelle said nervously,shaking her hands in front of her,and suddenly placing them on top of Elesia's. Now she was embarrased. She looked at their hands touching for a few seconds,and then raised her sight,looking at the nun right in the eyes. " So--Sorry...."

She really meant it? Hearing it again only made Elesia turn a bit red in the cheeks, a little baffled with how to respond to that, nervously looking down just a moment as she tried to regain her adamant courage she usually carried with her. But that chance faded completely when Michelle's hands clasped hers, causing the nun to let out a soft 'eep!' in a mousy and timid reaction, then slowly smiling shyly. "N-No, it's fine, I just thought-"

"Can I get you anything to drink?" Before Elesia could finish her sentence, a waitress stepped over to them, this restuarant seeming to care for hiring quite the attractive women as she handed the two of them menus. She would leave shortly after to get them their drinks, Elesia requesting 'The usual,' which made the woman smile and nod, clearly knowing her since she came here often.

"This is actually one of my favorite places, I forgot to mention that." Elesia said pleasantly, her once timid aura seeming to lighten up a little even as they were holding hands. She kind of liked it actually.

Michelle didnt move her hands from Elesia,as she completely forgot about it when the waitress came. "Oh,really? You come often to this place? " The vampiress curiously asked as she started to notice that her palms were still on top of Elesia's hands. She was feeling too good to even thinking about removing them from their place. And it seemed like the nun was enjoying it as well.

" What's 'the usual' ? " Michelle wondered,and couldnt resist to ask it out loud to the nun. She seemed pretty familiarized with the place,with the food,with the ambient,and even with the waitress,as she even knew what was the usual. The doubt was killing her! What were they gonna eat?! And to add something more,Michelle didnt have breakfast,and now she was starviiiiiing!

With a light bead of sweat trickling from her brow, Elesia slowly broke away from holding hands, rubbing the back of her head again. Why was she getting so nervous around her?? Her other hand fell below, smoothing out her skirt just a little before speaking, trying to keep her composure even though it kept failing. She couldn't help it, whenever she looked at Michelle she found herself longing to be closer and to stay with this girl.

"It's their signature recipe; a special curry and chicken mix that's to die for." She only realized after saying that she should not have said 'to die for', seeing as how vampires were technically a classification of undead after all... She could only hope it wasn't taken as an insult as she went on. "Ooh, and the long island iced tea of course too. I tend to get just a splash of alchohol in mine, but nothing strong, I'm sure you'll like it." It never registered in her mind at all that it might effect Michelle. Most vampires were immune to many toxins, alchohol being one, but Michelle proved time and time again that she wasn't like the others.

Michelle simply pulled her hands to herself as Elesia pulled hers away. She didnt want to look like someone who was desperated for body contact,though it was true. She never had someone to call friend,as most of the vampires just tried to bite her neck or train her in the dark arts. She wasnt interested for anything like that. That's why the rest of the members of her race kicked her out. They didnt like 'pure vampires'.

" Oh,that sounds nice...! " Michelle announced cheerfully, already smelling the delicious scent that came out from the kitchen. It made her feel even more hungry. She couldnt help but to hold her stomach as it started to growl. The vampiress blushed slightly,feeling a bit embarrased after that. " Sorry for that.... "

Earlier in the ring, Michelle had proven to be more niave than Elesia ever thought possible. And now, seeing how desperate she was for food right now, Elesie couldn't help but wonder if this girl was even taking good care of herself right. She had to be sure, something just felt... off. "Michelle-chan..? I'm curious, do you live by yourself? And are you.. taking good care of yourself?" She knew it was a sudden question, but she wanted to ask, hoping it would put them one step closer to getting to know eachother a little better, and more importantly help calm Elesia's concern she had right now.

" Hm? " Michelle wondered in an innocent tune when Elesia started her statement. " Yeah,I live on my own. Though my apartment is really big...if it's a place where to live what you need you can come---Sorry..." Michelle apologyzed,thinking that she might be going too fast. She blushed slightly,wondering what Elesia would answer.

" And sure.....I guess I take good care of myself...But I'm barely able to afford my fees. I dont have the money to have breakfast,tea or anything. I just hope that someone invites me out..." Michelle explained to Elesia. She was telling her the truth. The reason why she lasted so much without eating was because the blood of her victims was enough to keep her from being hungry,but just for a few days...

She couldn't beleive what she was hearing. The girl lived on her own, but didn't have enough money to survive? Could it be because the league didn't pay her enough? was it since she was losing matches? Maybe someone was conning her or decreasing her pay? Whatever it was, this was not right. Michelle deserved so much better! Elesia couldn't stand such an injustice, there was no reason for it!

"A-Are you serious? Michelle-chan, you should have told me sooner! Please, take some of my money, the bill I'll pay for too! A-And if you want you can always coe to my place to eat, I'll take you shopping if you want!" Going a mile a minute with her offers, proving to be very overcaring when it came down to the person she cared so much for. Adding to this, she even reached out from her small purse she had on her seat and took out her wallet, taking out a large amount of money. "How much do you need? It's okay, really." The amount she had in there was impressive, clearly she must have had a wealthy family, or.. something else. Then again, killing was a profitable business...

Michelle looked at Elesia in the eyes for asecond before she started to offer million of things. But...Michelle refused to accept them. " Please....dont take it the bad way....I just cant accept what I didnt earn. It's an important rule of my life. " Michelle said with some of a saddened tune of voice,feeling a bit bad. She only hoped that Elesia didnt think she was refusing it because she didnt like her. It was exactly the opposite. She didnt want money to get in middle of their relationship.

" Seriously...save that purse. I'm going to pay my part of the bill too. Relax,I got some money,and I guess I'll survive. " The vampiress said as she took out her own wallet and opened it. There were just 25 bucks,nothing more. And that's all she had for the rest of the month...But she couldnt allow Elesia to pay all by herself. It was against her polite of life.
