North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

Ceara had, unfortunately, made the incorrect assumption that the vampire child had moved on from Sacrosanct when her scent no longer lingered outside of the establishment. It seemed she had found somewhere else, and someone else, to haunt. The woman's first reaction was to flee and the second was to shoo Anna out of the building. However, both would have likely caused the volatile nature of the unpredictable vampire child to surface and be taken out on any helpless passerby. No, it was best to address the situation head on. There was a moment where Ceara found herself taking a long steadying breathe that her long undead body ceased to need before gliding over to the pair. The child's words were equally as confusing and gave no real indication about why she was here. The bar had very little to offer Anna in the way of entertainment so to prevent her from making her own, Ceara offered her an alternative away from the public eye.

Ceara raised a brow at Sebastian's clear request for Anna to play nicely, her amber gaze watching the child debate upon the offer before taking it and leaving the pair breathing room. "Yolan will be fine." She assured the man simply. "He takes several potions to ward off supernaturals from making a feast of him and using powers. It wouldn't do well for business if I had the customers willing him into letting them not pay." Still she motioned for Sebastian to sit and offered him the drink that he very much appeared to need. Ceara moved with grace to pluck up a bottle of whiskey then almond liquor, pouring first one then another over ice in a half glass. Delicate fingers slid the pristine drink across the wooden countertop to Sebastian. "It's called The Godfather." She whipped up herself a bone dry martini, mixing gin and vermouth and plopping a glass skewer with 3 olives attached to it into the martini glass. Ceara slipped into the seat at the booth beside Sebastian, taking a small sip from her drink before returning her attention to Sebastian once more.

"You made the mistake of playing with her didn't you? It's like feeding the wild animals- you don't. Not unless you want them following you back home." Although Ceara's tone was reproachful there was also sympathy. "She wasn't always like that." A soft sigh left her lips, her gaze flickering to where her fingers played idly with the foot of the martini glass. "A lot of what I know I learned from her. Anna was a good mentor in her day. She is one of the oldest vampires I've come across and you don't survive that long without knowing a thing or two." Ceara raised the glass to her lips briefly before turning to playing with it. "It's a pity she's become...this." With a subtle shrug though Ceara's gaze returned to Sebastian. "So, Englishman, I'm sure you're resourceful enough to find a way to shake her off of you. Why let yourself continue to endure her games? Surely a handsome one as yourself has more things he'd rather be doing than playing hide-and-seek." Ceara could understand someone getting looped unintentionally into Anna's grasp, but to remain there was a curious thing. She herself had shaken herself out of it after barely a year. True it meant she had had to leave the city she had previously called home with the child vampire.

He kindly stopped for me

And Immortality
