Seeing the illusion and the light move ahead of them she pulls out her sword slowly, quietly.
"As long as that works, we'll be okay." She says. That she can do, that's what she knows. Her muscles already loosening up and getting ready

"An interesting power to have." She points out. She watches as he hurts his finger, as he plays the strings of some magical harp. She's surprisingly relieved as they start heading down, despite the lack of light.

"I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before." She admits, if they're going to be honest and forthcoming. Might as well admit that.
"Three?" She nods slowly as she takes a breath, her hand going to her sword.
"We can take them. One of them is hidden from you? How do you know they're there?" She asks with a small frown.
She brings her hand up to his, clasping it around his wrist to hold on tightly.

She looks him in the eye.
Trust is something hard won, something she doesn't give out freely. But that she can give. She can hopefully trust he'll be honest and forthcoming, which would make starting to trust him easier.
"What?!" She groans as she tries to get a better hold on the sash, before simply letting it go and hanging on by her wrist. That's the best form of trust right?
"I would trust him, he's always been forthright and helpful when I need it. I trust you'll be the same." She takes a deep breath as

She's relieved as the sash wraps around her arm, grabbing onto it for extra security. When she hears his question though she glares up at him.
"Is now the time?!" She asks as she huffs.
"Yeah, yeah I do. Not close or anything but yeah I know him."

react before she even knows what is happening, but it can't stop anything from happening as they're both plunged into the darkness. She tries to grasp on to anything within reach and her hand sticks to the edge of the ground for a moment before slipping and plunging her into the darkness.
She watches him do his magic, something about it makes her skin crawl. Magic always had that effect on her. On the gem. It might be magic, it might have its rituals but she wasn't made for it. She was made to hunt it, to fight it.
She watches from a distance and then the bloodgem seems to

"Something is strange about all of this. Like it's been planned." She mutters.
"Could be an ambush."
--
Strange.
"It's not like these things hunt in packs or turn others. So either there's been a coup among vampires and something went wrong.. or someone has artificially created those rather than waiting for the vamps to turn."
Or someone has been saving them up for this moment....

"Suppose sometimes compromises for the good of the unknowing, suck for us." She nods slowly. At least they aren't infiltrating such important places.
As he explains about the Wights, she glances at the claw marks too. The same observation about the claw marks coming to her.

"Sure."

She points out as she sighs deeply.
"It's probably a little further, either hunting down its creator, or finding food." She picks up the pace a little, best to try and avoid anyone becoming food....

footprints on the ground. Well it definitely went this way, there's a knocked over bin a little further in the alley.
"Something or someone... Sometimes people find things, mess with things they don't understand. Sometimes they create things like this by accident."

"The vampires of New York are under your protection? Alright, I'll keep that in mind." She huffs softly. The idea of creating a treaty with things like that... it's appalling but now is not the time to be arguing about it.
She continues, kneeling down when she notices muddy

"It's undead, I don't think it still counts as an inhabitant.. on account of it no longer living." She points out as she heads further, past the scratch marks in hopes of finding the next markings.
"I prefer the gem outside of my body." She nods slowly. So he does know an Elsa. Interesting.
As he tells her this city is under his protection she frowns. She can tell it's a warning to her, to not harm the monster they're hunting? She's unsure about that.

"Not even sure how long I'll be here anyways." She mutters as she orders another drink. Any moment she could get pulled back to her own world.
"Exactly. Not even mentioning the danger, the mess of family... it's too complicated."
"You're so right, why listen to anyone?"

"If that's something you want, I'm sure you'll find it." She pauses to finish her drink.
"My life doesn't really leave a lot of space for such a thing, besides it's complicated..."
"And why would I trust the word of a vampire?"

"The other part, him keeping secrets."
She'll choose to ignore his comment about her friend supposedly wanting to be her 'date'
"Some people just aren't made for it I suppose, my life really isn't made for romance." She simply points out as she shrugs. She's long since accepted that.
"Not all romance has to be hopeless, no."
"I don't like what you're implying about my friend."
