The Mates of Dragons

Followed

Kendra truly didn't want to be here anymore. She didn't want to approach those that were of different races. Mostly because they weren't going to say anything much to her. Though they did let her talk, and she did kind of manipulate them. Just a bit, but only to let her sit and speak.

She wasn't feeling like doing it anymore, and she knew that Jin and Niki were both looking around for the nonhuman occupants of this city. It seemed like more were starting to take up residence as if seeing what it was they were starting here. Which she wasn't sure she knew, but there weren't really any unexplained deaths as of late, but most the human citizens seemed to be on good behavior. So the three of them were moving separately from place to place looking.

This place was kind of loud, but she picked it knowing that there probably wouldn't be anyone she had to talk to in it. She wasn't a fool, trying to find a truce was a very hard thing to do, and you had to catch each side on a good day to actually get a compromise. She just wanted to hear that someone wasn't as bloodthirsty as the rest. So that was why she was hiding now, she was disappointed and not in the mood. Kendra left during some down time to just be alone.

She watched the younger crowd moving around mingling and with each other. Rather free in how they were touching. She was sitting at a table with her head in her hands and staring at the soda she had there not really wanting it. A few times she had someone come up to her and ask her to dance and even for a bit more than that. She either politely refused or told them to get lost. She wasn't in the mood for others, and that was why she was hiding in here. It was strange, she wasn't in the mood for others, and yet she wished for more. She felt lonely looking at the couples, seeing the freedom these people had. The fun they were having, and wanting it for herself. Yet when approached none of it felt right.

Kendra looked across the room, and her ears were starting to ring with the noise level in this place. So she decided her best route to the door to leave, either she had to cut through the crowd dancing and mingling on the floor or she walked around past a group of guys that she'd already told off. With a sigh she picked the coward's way and moved to cross the floor. Closer to the side with people just standing and talking.

She was nearly halfway across when she was jerked to a stop and turned pulled to the left and she struck out hitting the person hard on the shoulder. It was sudden and unexpected. She didn't know who it was at first. Who thought they could put their hands on her? She was right up against him and he spoke in her ear.

"You never really struck me as a violent person." Kendra just felt this flare of heat like never before at the voice. Inwardly she once more wondered what was wrong with her even as she welcomed the thrill of the feeling. Where before when approached she just felt cold and unwilling. It changed, still no real understanding as to why. However she kept her composure and looked up at the bright green gaze. After all she needed to be careful with him. What his real intentions were, plus she might be thinking about that bite a bit.

"Do that again and you will find out how violent I can be. What do you want now?" She asked and he laughed. For someone that could turn violent at a moment's notice, he was rather laid back in a sense. At least every time he spoke to her he found something amusing and laughed or smiled. It kind of didn't fit with the image humans had of him. He hadn't let go of her yet, with the crowded place and where they stood it seemed a bit more natural pose. Though Kendra was slightly unnerved with the ease at which he just decided to take a hold of her. He'd not really done that before. There was something different about his aura she couldn't put her finger on. Something that seemed to ease in her presence that was new. She puzzled at it.

The sides of their faces brushed as they spoke close to each other's ear with how loud it was in here. She was completely aware how close they were and his arm wrapped low across her back. It was loose but she wasn't going to get away from him without a real struggle. She didn't know how to feel with his apparent ease at taking hold of her. Why'd he have to appear out of nowhere like that?
