"So," wonders Blair, a little over a week later, "how attached are you two to the house?"
poll-the-stars
She returns his gaze, and. And. Uh? Um???? Um! But she already has a mate???
Um???
She opens her mouth, but no words come out. She just. Stares at. This vampire. That is definitely the hottest vampire in all of the world, along with James, they are both equally hot in different ways.
living_dead
The... the hottest vampire in all the world, along with James, they are both equally hot in different ways, seems similarly struck.
And then he's atop the tree, as well. He doesn't cross the distance between where he was and the tree, she can tell, he just—relocates himself from where he previously was to where he currently is, now, and stares at her intently.
poll-the-stars
She freezes at the clear teleportation, is he a witch too this is getting ridiculous, and makes a little tiny un-vampiric squeaky sound in her throat. He is now in close proximity to her and it was actually upon reflection probably dangerous to go greet a strange vampire by herself??? And also he's hot???? He's very hot???
"........... hi," she says, for lack of a better idea. "I'm. Yvette. Nice to meet you."
living_dead
"Hi," he replies almost breathlessly, if a vampire could run out of breath. "I'm Alexei," and yeah, that's a faint Russian accent there. "Nice to meet you, too, Yvette."
poll-the-stars
OH NO! HE HAS A HOT ACCENT TOO! THAT'S NOT FAIR. NONE OF THIS IS FAIR.
She is honestly a little too shocked by his existence to really properly register that he's real. Uh. There's a lock of his hair that's slightly out of place in comparison to the rest of his hair, and he's close enough that she can just. Fix that. There. It is fixed now. Oh no what does she do now.
living_dead
He beams widely at her and—vibrates? Teleports in place, a tiny fraction of a milimiter to the right, to the left, it's almost like he's blurring except he's not doing it so fast that she can't straightforwardly track every location he teleports to.
poll-the-stars
Oh no he's an incontinent teleporter when he's embarrassed that's so cute instead of blushing he's flickering aaaaaaa! This cuteness earns a little smile.
".... You should um." God it's hard to think when half of her brain is distracted by pretty and the other half of her brain is distracted by WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE and she's operating out of half of a percent that's shoved in the margins. "Come meet my coven??"
living_dead
He immediately nods and teleports down to the ground again, looking up at her and still vibrating in place while he waits.
poll-the-stars
He's so cute!
She hops down after him and, and, uh. Takes his hand. With her right hand. Oh man is he going to ask questions about her wedding rings she feels unfaithful to both of the people she's mated to that's not fair she hasn't even done anything!!!
"Our, um. House is this way." She points with her free hand.
living_dead
Alexei does not seem to immediately notice her ring, or if he does he does not comment on it at all. When he takes her hand the incontinent teleporting stops—he wants to be very solid right now, he is holding his mate's hand—and he waits for her to lead on.
poll-the-stars
Ooookay this way they go! Back home! What time is it, she has forgotten, can it be after 8 PM because she is still a mother with a young daughter and, so, it.
Probably she should try to give Alexei some kind of heads up??? About things??? But there is too much, and too many feelings besides, and and and she is just going to take him home with her and put him in front of James and probably it will all be fine, right. Right. Probably.
brilliant_smile
James—notices. His witchcraft's range is large enough that he notices that—there is another vampire? And they're holding hands? What the fuck.
"Uh, princess, can you stay here for a minute?" he asks Aurene.
poll-the-stars
".... James we just became more complicated!!!" calls Yvette, because, because. Probably she should explain but help.
brilliant_smile
...Aurene seems far too happy about this.
......................this is the pretty picture she mentioned, isn't it. Just how...? Whatever, he jumps through the window and—
living_dead
—and now an incontinent teleporter has teleported to a couple of inches in front of his face, staring.
brilliant_smile
—what the fuck.
There is a brief moment of panic, then he looks at Yvette and notices that—he is still mated to her, he is mated to both of them???? What?????
living_dead
The incontinent teleporter takes a tenth of a second to notice he's teleported away from his mate and then teleports back to Yvette.
......and now he has teleported away from his mate again?????? He teleports back to James.
Wait. WHAT IS GOING ON.
poll-the-stars
"Yeah! Yeah me too!!" squeaks Yvette, seeing the problem Alexei is having and zipping over to be next to. Both. Of her mates. "So, so you two have also? It's?? It's all three of us???"
brilliant_smile
"I—I think so. Aurene this is all your fault," James calls without letting his eyes leave the new vampire's face. "Remind me to buy you a gift for it later," he adds.
living_dead
Alexei looks between—both of his mates? He has two??????? That is too many except it is the perfect number—and he starts vibrating again, and each time he vibrates he's looking at one of them and now he is definitely doing it too fast for even vampire vision to track, at the speed of vampire thought rather than the speed of vampire motion.
