COLBY

Colby is stuck to the couch sitting against the window. Open to a view of wet grass and the town bustling downtown. He's swamped with questions relating to late last-night. He's stuck regretting his choices the past couple hours. Amber is sleeping upstairs in Jennifer's home, and the owner tracks back into the kitchen. She's busy brewing a pot of boiling water for prepared tea-bags. He can smell the ginger probably waiting by the lined cups. The vampire knows better than to get caught up in his own head and he senses Jennifer has the morning planned out.

Colby pulls the sleeve presenting the tattoos mixed with tribal tattoos resembling old runes and thick dark lines. The scarring from last night's transformation is healing nicely but he could do with blood. He gets up when the small metal-clink in the kitchen startles him from his lazy stupor.
He can see how she jolts when his presence wafts over her scented kitchen, and the soft shuffling of clothes she's familiar with, borrowed from a previous lover (Colby prefers to announce Jen has a long-lost brother living in her attic unbeknownst to her).

The vampire fixes the hoodie close to his nude chest. Every time he moves the bumpy fabric keeps touching his sensitive skin and it can be uncomfortable. The hoody makes it hard to sit still for long periods but he wont be a rude guest or friend.
    "I made tea and added a little something extra for yours."

Colby hums in affirmation as he leans his weight on the island. His body would appreciate the energy to get rid of this weary feeling. The room is open to the cool breeze coming through the back door sliding doors. It's much lighter out after spending hours huddled in a dark room repairing his disgusting ..body. He hones in his hearing and catches the faint snoring coming from inside Jens room, decorated in sigils and carvings on the walls. Amber likes Jens room the best...
"How's she doing?"
"She's fine.. i preformed an incantation the moment you got here.. She's, clear, if that's what you're worried about." Her hands swing in the air, completely denying any chances Amber is infected with bad-juju.

"Ok, okkk,"
Colby's voice grows high as his feet practically glide across the floorboards closer to Jen. He feels a sense of relief, and the doubt still lingers in the back of his mind. He should take the confirmation with a grain-of-salt. The supernatural is incredibly fickle used in the right and wrong hands.

"Is that a cup of tea?"
Colby wiggles a finger next to Jen, happy to change the conversation with a lighter tone. Sitting on the countertop is a mug filled to the brim with his favorite contents. He does catch the faint scent of blood.
He regards his friend, "You sure know how to treat a lady,"

Jennifer snorts before reaching by her side for the nearest mug. Her smile grows bigger when she realizes Colby stands inches from her hands, making grabby hands.
"Ok! Here, jeez,"

Jennifer grabs her own mug and shuffles around her friend in the tiny set-up called her kitchen. He likes her small space, untouched by the wicked shit Colby has prowling around his house. Herbs hang by the sliding door, behind the unmoving glass whilst the sage burns above the frame atop a makeshift shelf meant specifically for this purpose.
"You really like the tea, huh? Amber comes over a lot when she misses you. Drinks my cabinet dry! My feathers are dwindling too," Colby prevents himself from bubbling with laughter as he situates himself across from Jen. He shrugs, implying the situation befalling his friend is not his fault. Colby sloshes the somewhat clear drink beneath his nose. There's herbs in there, ginger, dandelion, and mint. The vampire swallows a generous gulp. He sets the mug down to take a moment to blink at the homeowner housing his healing friend, and her.. murdering friend (him).
