The night had just begun and Aries yanwed loudly as he got up. He had spent the past couple nights staking out on his current target. A specific guardian that had been causing the Master much grief. This was a mission that required time and patience, both of which Aries had had years of perfecting. The next couple nights were what he liked to call the crucial ones.

He finally got to start some action tonight. He got dressed and garbed on his black cloak. He made sure all of his weapons were where they were supposed to be and ready for action. This mission was going to require more then his hands and fangs. Once he was satisfied with everything, Aries walked into the night, his cape flapping behind him like the wings of the demon that he often thought he was but didn't want to be.

The sound of music caught his attention though and he found himself watching human women play blackjack. Her scent reminded him of his girlfriend, who had been human. The jolt of it made him suddenly forget his mission completely. Pain entered his mind and without even knowing it Aries found himself sitting accross from the human. He stared at her from under his hood.

He suddenly was aware of the fact that he probably looked dangerous and the fact that the women might be afraid. So he said in as soft as voice as any Strigoi could manage, "Don't be afraid. You just reminded me of someone I have not seen in years... Please, tell me your name?" Aries knew he was playing a very dangerous game right now but the memories would not allow anything different.

Aries could smell the girl's rising fear but also curiosity. This suprised Aries into giving a shadow of a smile. It was also very obvious that the girl could not see his eyes, which was very good because she would have screamed and attracted enough attention that he would have had to kill her and he was just not going to do that.

He listened as she said that her name was Amelia Wilson and he nodded. Though he stiffened when she politely asked for his name. He automatically gave the false name that he used, "My name is David Smith. Thank you for telling me your name, Miss Wilson. I know it must have seen a little wierd." Aries scanned the room again, his eyes lingered on the tall man but then registered him an harmless. The man was human, of course they were all harmless.

"That is a good thing, I can assure you." Aries said, an actual smile coming to his lips. He was careful to hide his fangs for his mouth was still visible from his cloak hood. He shook his head slightly as Amelia's voice rang sweet and oh so like his past girlfriend. There was of course major differences but he would have given anything to be with his girlfriend again but of course that was now impossible.

Aries was seizing the moment so to speak. "Nothing that I can think, Miss Wilson." The Strigoi stood up from the table, walked around to her side, and very softly, took one of her small hands in one of his. Aries bent while raising her hand to his lips where he lightly kissed the top of her hand. "It was a complete pleasure to meet you, Miss Wilson. I hope we have the chance to speak again. Have a good night." The Strigoi started walking away, hating the fact that he had to go so agonizingly slow.

He was now off of his carefully planned attack. He had to make up time and make sure that that guardian he was after was still in the area. But even as he was walking away, Aries almost hoped that Amelia Wilson would call him back. The Strigoi bit back a hiss, now was not the time to get side tracked.
