((Your sig. I lol'd.))
"Thank you." Raphael said simply as he softly touched down on to the balcony below before making his way through the window. "Not quite my preferred method for entering a room, but it works well enough I suppose." he said brushing himself off a bit from his rather ungraceful entrance. "And now as I was saying, I am in your debt, Miss Justine." he said with a gentlemanly bow.

{Thank you~ biggrin }
"Oh, not at all! Friends help each other out. It's just what we do." Justine casually replied, a bold grin plastered upon her lips once more. "Don't ever worry about paying me back, okay? It isn't necessary."

"Unfortunately my stature as a gentleman says otherwise." Raphael said as he straightened back up and walked over to her. Suddenly he took her hand, gently pulling her to her feet and spinning her around. "If you like, I could always reward you with eternity." he whispered into her ear. "But then I suppose that would just give your old man an actual reason to want my ashes." he said spinning her away from him.

Justine was, to say the least, surprised by Raphael's offer. He was offering her...the gift of vampirism? There were many benefits, and many drawbacks, that came with such a transformation, of this she had no doubt. For many moments she simply stood there, wide-eyed as she considered his offer. "I...I would need some time to think about your offer, if you would be so kind." she said after several moments, that same goofy smile she always wore returning to her lips. "As for my Grandfather, do not worry about him. It is our decision to make."

"The fact remains that I still have a debt to pay. Not like my eternity was being put to much use anyway." Raphael said with a light shrug. "Though should you ever reach a decision, my offer will always be available. You were certainly one of the finest vintages I've had the pleasure of tasting." he said with a teasing smirk, the glint of a fang peeking out from behind his lips.

Justine's face flushed to a light pink at his teasing words. At a loss for how to reply, she stuttured a meek, "Well...uhm...thank you..." It was surprising. She was certain her blood didn't taste very good. Not that it was a bad thing, since that was why she thought she had survived and all. (Well, part of it also had to go to Raphael's kindness. But still!) "I'll take you up on that offer...when the time is right. When that will be, I am unsure. But for now, I am happy as I am."

((I just want to say that anime club this semester, after only two weeks, has brought about some of the greatest lines of snark I have had the pleasure of snarking:
"QUANTUM PENGUIN!!"
"PENGUINTALITY!!"
and most recently "MOOBS OF STEEL!!"
I just felt like sharing. That is all.))
"So you're now free from the burden of harboring a vampire's soul and on top of that have said vampire indebted to you for your aide. Any idea what you plan to do from here?" Raphael asked as he took a seat on the bed.

{Lol, awesome. XDD
...
I was almost tempted to have Justine make an "I'm going to Disneyland!" joke.}
"I am unsure. If you'd like, I'll help you rebuild your castle as best as I can. Or at the very least, help save up the money to hire those who could." Justine offered, not really sure about anything she wanted to do for herself.

"I'd honestly rather not think about that pile of rubble at the moment..." Raphael said with a glum sigh as he hung his head. "It would take ages to acquire the funds necessary to rebuild it, not to mention clean up the ruins. Either way, I suppose I could use a change of pace. Just as a king may grow tired of his castle, I too found my unlife to be somewhat dull up until my untimely demise. I see no reason why I can't use this as an excuse to something a tad bit more exciting for a while. I should probably let the town repopulate itself a bit anyway and find a new herd to feed from."

"You are welcome to travel with me, if you'd like. I'd very much appreciate the company." Justine, to be honest, had been more than a little worried about being alone as she aimlessly wandered the lands. No doubt the Hunters would want her dead even more than before, so it wasn't likely she'd settle anywhere with a popular church sometime soon.

"I would be delighted." Raphael said with a small smile before chuckling a bit. "At least I've already adjusted to your human sleep schedule. Otherwise you'd have a very grouchy night-walker with you."

"True." Justine tilted her head slightly upward, soon gazing at the ceiling as they talked. "What should we do about the sun, though? Won't it hurt you?"

"That shouldn't be too difficult. I once kept a ring that allowed the vampire wearing it to walk unharmed in the daylight. It's likely in the rubble somewhere, assuming I can find it." Raphael said easily.

"Shall I help you search for it?" Justine offered, more than happy to help a friend when they needed it. (Sadly enough, it seemed that she was always more concerned for the immediate wants and needs of others, read "others" as "her friends", than the immediate wants and needs of herself. It was such a terrible, terrible habit she had, wasn't it?)

"No, that's quite alright. I know where I kept when I still had a manor to call home, so I have some idea of where it's likely to be in the rubble, and you've done more than enough for me for one day." Raphael said as he got up and headed for the window again. "Hopefully I'll be back by morning." he said as he turned into a tiny bat in a puff of smoke before flying off.
