Quinn waved her hand in front of her dismissively. "Killing a vampire isn't like killing a person. There's no blood. Vampires are really just walking corpses with demons inside. You stake them and they turn to dust. Not that I've ever done it, mind you."
For a werewolf, killing a vampire was dangerous business. Just as the vampires weren't anxious to escalate the age-old battle between them and werewolves, neither were the werewolves. Even though they outnumbered vampires nearly 2 to 1. Many werewolves were too busy with other wars to worry about vampires as well.
"So, this is all very interesting and all, but how about that dance?"

"Oh! of course!" Arystar blushed and held out a hand to lead her to the dance floor. "You're amazing! you're husband must be a very understanding and outstanding man to let you have so many adventures!" he stood and ran a hand through his hair, it had fallen again over his eyes and he brushed it just out of them. It gave him a roguish look that made him seem full of confidence and aware of the good look it gave him. He was beginning to regret his coat so he withdrew his hand to shrug off the duster and shrank it with a small flourish and put it in his trouser pockets. "There! that's better!" and held out his hand again, now only in a black button down that hung out of his trousers.

Quinn laughed. "Oh, I'm not married. Not in the technical sense, anyway. But I'm committed to him. And he'd probably be very angry if he knew I was here. So I sneak out without telling him. I just get so very bored all the time, you know? I can't be cooped up... I'm like a wild animal."
She glanced up at him, making sure he didn't look alarmed. "But don't worry. I hardly ever bite. Anymore." She winked as she began to dance.
Unlike the seductive writhing of Shawna, Quinn moved with a light, easy grace. It was not deliberately enticing or sexual, rather, there was something free about it. She seemed almost part of the music itself, manifesting in human form. Her bold, open confidence was what drew all eyes to her.

Her comment sailed over his head, he thought she was merely saying an innuendo. "I don't think there is anything wrong with just being committed." He smiled at her and tried to move as easily has she moved. It was a little awkward for the first few moments, then he started to fall into an easy pace of movement. He wasn't so bold or confident, but he was at least comfortable now. It wasn't the mime of sex that Shawna had done to him, but he was comfortable with this woman because she seemed to him be of face value. She moved like she new what beat was coming next, she seemed so talented for dance, far more then he did at least! "I'm sure he doesn't mind your nature! I think I rather like your nature." he smiled earnestly at her, un sure if they should keep dancing if and when the song ended.

Quinn smiled at him. Before she and Korbel had become mates, she might have been flirting unashamedly with this man, just for the sheer sake of doing it. And although she might not have danced in quite as lewd a manner as Shawna had, there would have been some definite attempts at seduction. Oddly, she found that this was actually more fun. She was just dancing for the fun of it, enjoying the music and the drink and the company. Little pleasures that had passed her by before. This realization made her unaccountably happy. As long as she was able to do this a few times a month, she would never feel like she was missing out on anything.
"Thank you," she said. "You're not bad yourself. So polite... Most guys tend to be grabby, and I have to push them away. I like you."

Arystar wrinkled his nose " I wouldn't do that, that's too rude!" he chuckled at himself, he couldn't bring himself to be purposefully rude, or just to grab what he desired. "And I wouldn't want to be punched either, grabbing a lady is definitely punch worthy."
Arystar smiled. He made a friend! At least met some one friendly. It did make him feel a little more confident. Quinn seemed to be right, everyone seemed to have an agenda instead of just having fun, he was glad that he was starting to have fun, it almost made Shawna's swipe to his face worth it. Not only he would of ended up in an even more embrassing situation if he hadn't found a way out of it sooner or later, if her idea of being cute was calling him pumpkin...he didn't want to know what she might of called him after she had had her way with him.

"Not many guys out there like you anymore," Quinn said. "Most guys will buy a girl a drink or two and think that they're entitled to something."
She shrugged carelessly, tossing her hair over her shoulders. With her hair away from her face, it highlighted her beautiful eyes and high cheekbones. "I used to like it, even encourage it. I was kind of wild. I still am... but I'm not a tramp... not anymore. Guess I finally mellowed out."
It was true. About a year ago, she'd been arrested by muggle police in France for starting a bar fight. Even though she'd had a good reason, she'd still been punished. But since things fell apart with Gretchen's pack, she and Korbel had been closer than ever. And she had given up most of her wild ways... except for this.

Arystar almost stopped dancing, but managed to focus on keeping the beat. "It doesn't matter, if you like attention, but you were clear with me that you just wanted to dance." he didn't want to sound accusing so he added, "I'm not very good at 'picking up' anyone, but I thought most anyone could tell when a lady wants the attentions." He watched as she danced in the lights, how they shifted between shafts of brightness and color, to darkness. She was very striking, for a split second he understood why so many men had tried, but she was so very clear on her intentions. He couldn't pretend to mistake them, that would make him a cad. "Not that I entirely blame them, you're very pretty." he blushed and added "Not that it's a bad thing to say right?" he chuckled a little nervously.

Quinn didn't miss a step as she threw her head back and laughed. "No, not at all," she replied. "Here's a little tip for you. Girls always like to be told that they're pretty. They all react in different ways, but deep down, they all like it. Some like it too much and it makes them do things... you can tell the type just by looking at them. Like..." She looked around and her gaze fell on Shawna. "That one there. You tell her that she's pretty and she'll be dragging you home to her bed in no time."
Then she nodded toward Fiona. "That girl there... she'll be flattered, but she probably won't believe you. You'd have to convince her. But then there are some... like me... who will take it as it's intended and simply say thank you."

Arystar took the information in with an awestruck gaze. He nodded having spent a bit of time with the both of the women she pointed out. It was as if she knew them! she couldn't of could she? He almost wanted to ask if she did know them, but decided against it. "I feel I should be taking note!" he laughed missing several beats but continuing on, striving to keep to the beat.

Quinn smiled. "You really should get out more," she said. "Just try studying people for a while. You start to pick up on things. I'm really good at reading people. At least I try to be. The blonde... well, I've seen her in here before, so I know what she's like. And I used to be a lot like her. There are some people that are harder to read... They're the dangerous ones. You want to stay away from them, because they could be holding all kinds of secrets."
Quinn wasn't even sure why she was helping this guy, except that she apparently had a soft spot for lost puppies.

Arystar looked a little bemused, but nodded his head all the same. "I will try to get out more, I only just decided that I would see the world." he regained some of his composure as he realized he was giving explanations again. He almost wished he could take the words back, but he just ended up taking in a gasp of air. Talking with her made him think that maybe the whole world was dangerous.

Quinn's smile was sweet, and just a little bit playful. "Well, I think that's good news for the world," she said. "It has its flaws, I suppose, but there's no point in hiding from it. It's all we got, you know? Just this one little shot at life... we might as well live it."
The song ended, and a slower song came on. Quinn pouted; for Korbel's sake she didn't dance with men to the slow songs, only the fast ones. "Looks like I'm gonna have to sit this one out," she said. "Want to come and have a chat with me? I'll buy you a drink."

Arystar nodded said "Of course!" he cringed a moment later when he saw the bartender's eyes light up when he saw him. he brought up a hand to his mouth and whispered to Quinn,"I think he's flirting with me." it was a bit of a distressing thing for Arystar. He didn't think to really question her desire for leaving the dance floor, he noticed the slower beat of the song, obviously a love song, but didn't think for a moment of what it would mean for a woman like Quinn to be seen dancing slowly to such a song with another man that wasn't her intended.

Some of Quinn's sneaking out didn't go unnoticed, like tonight. Korbel sighed. He was getting tired of her just going off places and never telling him where she was going. More than likely he wouldn't have minded that much if she just told him. It wasn't like he was going to keep her on some kind of string and hold her there. What was he supposed to expect when she was gone off for long periods of time? Was she hurt? Dead? Those are the questions that entered his head when she was late sneaking back in.
Knowing Quinn, Korbel know the most likely place she was going. He left camp and went toward the club. Ignoring people on his way, he entered. Her scent was unmistakable. Walking up to her, he noticed that she was sitting with another man and Korbel couldn't let any kind of anger boil up. He gave a tight smile to the man, then looked to the girl he was looking for. "Quinn."

If Quinn had actually been doing anything to make Korbel jealous, she would have acted very guilty and jumpy. But since she really had been behaving herself, it didn' even occur to her that he'd be feeling jealous.
"Korbel!" she squealed happily, throwing her arms around his neck. Between the two rather tall men, she looked tiny, almost like a doll. "I want you to meet my friend here, Arystar. We were just about to have a drink."

Arystar smiled when Quinn jumped up from her seat to embrace other man that had walked up to the bar. He grinned when she introduced him as a friend. He knew it would be polite to offer his hand in greeting, but he opted just to say hello. "Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you!" he waved his hand quickly and looked into the man's face. He was hard looking, but still handsome, and he looked very angry. Arystar's smile faltered a little and he chuckled nervously. He dropped his hand to his side and noticed that there was another slow winding song playing. His eyes darted nervously to the man then to Quinn, hoping that he was as reasonable as she was.

Quinn's quick movement of hugging him made his near unemotional face break out into a small smile but his face went back to what it was before. He raised an eyebrow in Arystar's direction. The man waved at him?
"A drink, hm?" He could stay long enough for that, then he would more than likely take Quinn back home with him. Seeing the look on Arystar's face, Korbel decided that he could have a little fun. There was something odd about this man. Using the hand that wasn't wrapped around Quinn, he patted Arystar on the back. "Don't look so frightened," he said with a grin.
Turning back to Quinn, Korbel said, "I've been looking for you. I didn't really know where you disappeared too."

Arystar couldn't help the nervous chuckle that escaped his lips as he was thumped on the back. He quickly cleared his throat and hoped he looked more relaxed than he felt. He was tapped on the shoulder and he turned to find the bartender winking at him, handing him two fluorescent colored drinks that smelled strongly of tropical fruit. Arystar wrinkled his nose at them and gave the bartender a dubious look. Nearly laughing the bartender shrugged and turned, leaving him with two silly looking drinks in delicate looking glasses. Turning back to Quinn handing her the drink with an undisguised look of worried distaste. "I have no idea what that is, but I don't think he's charging either one of us for them." He stood there facing Quinn, and her husband that wasn't, with a still bright drink that looked like it would be too sweet to actually enough drinking.

Quinn let out a laugh. "I don't know what gets into him sometimes," she said. "Honestly, Arystar, I think he's just messing with you. He likes to do that sort of thing to new people. If you play along, I'm sure he'll get bored soon enough. Or maybe he's serious and you could end up with a new, er... friend."
She laughed again. It was true that the bartender did like messing with new customers. But she'd never actually seen him pull this routine on another man. "But you like girls, I can tell that already. "Do you see any you might like to dance with?"
