East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

You're my water. You're my wine.



A bellowing laugh erupts from his throat as she quickly responds to him, his shoulders shake with the force and several people down the bar look at him queerly. The woman was quick on her feet and he didn't mind that one bit, someone who could toss words back and forth with him was someone that he wouldn't be opposed to hanging around with. As his chuckles subside, he glances at her, wiping at a teary eye, "Touché, my dear," he raises his glass to her in appreciation. "I'm glad you think I'm aging well," he laughs again lightly, lifting his glass to his lips to take another pull of the liquid, enjoying the burn as it travels down.

When she questions him, Malek simply arches a brow at her. She was like many of his species he had met in over the half a millennium he had wandered earth, a vampire who liked to appeal to their more predator side. He wasn't opposed to his fellow vampires that liked to hunt this way, he had simply had his fair share as the hunter, now he preferred to feed from other sources. Shrugging, he regards her for a moment, "I don't allow my blood lust to control me as many of our species do," he states simply before setting his glass down on the counter and leaning towards her, his steely eyes roaming her features.

"There are many who don't see us as the top of the food chain anymore, besides humans don't provide a challenge anymore. Not since we have become more public to the world, they do not fear the name 'vampire' like they used to, nor are humans afraid of any other supernatural creature here in Sacrosanct. True, there are some humans who are blind to the supernatural world but for the most part we are simply an oddity to them. There are far more challenging prey out there than humans these days" he states, sighing briefly before settling himself against the bar again.

"I may be old but my mind is as clear as it ever was," he glances at her from the corner of his eye, before Malek picks his glass off the counter and takes a swig again before his attention is drawn away to the scrabbling on the ground. Letting his eyes travel to the floor, he furrows his brow at the rat nibbling on his chair, before looking at the vampire woman across from him, "Friend of yours?" a small smile tugs at the corner of his lips. He could feel the subtle shift in the woman, the power emitting off of her and he found it... interesting.

"First and foremost, perhaps you will offer me your name?" he asks, watching as her lips brush against the glass. "I'm Malek."

You're my whiskey. From time to time.
