Huntington lead LuLu to his hiding place. The gave went under the island. He and her barely made it in there before the sun was up. From it's placement, light could never make it into the caves winding tunnels where he had thrown together a small living area. He slowed down as they went through the winding corridors towards what was his home.

LuLu watched everything move by her so quickly; human's would have never kept up. But she didn't...She wasn't exactly human either. Her curiosity blacked out any other emotions she may have had. She wondered where they were going, and when they got there, if she was really going to stay with him all night. She blushed hotly.

He came up short in a small cavern that had a few pieces of furniture for the barest need of 'survival'. A sleeping bag was in the corner, neat and clean. A small table with an overturned bucket for a chair was in the level place and a small fire place sat in the corner, embers glowing softly for warmth (though it wasn't needed).
He let her hand go and put his weapons on the ground near the sleeping bag."This is a safe place to go when you need to run from the sunlight or others."

LuLu nodded, taking in her surroundings. She watched him putting his weapons down and then looked at her own. She unbuckled it from her belt and placed it near the wall of the cave, out of the way. She stayed over there, leaning against the wall. She hoped she wasn't going to cause him any trouble being here. After all, there was only room for one in here. Or at least, only one of everything.
She let herself fall down the wall slowly and sat there, her knees bent. She rested her arms on her knees and leaned her head on one of her arms. She watched Huntington.

"You might be more comfortable resting on the sleeping bag for the day time." He motioned to it even though he was next to it and it was plain as day. He walked to the ember and poked them with his hand, stirring them to life. He wiped the ashes off on his knees and stood up."It's not comfortable, I know, but it is shelter." |

LuLu lifted her head and looked at him. She shook her head at his suggestion. "No, you can...You can have it."
She watched him stir the fire, smiling at all the pretty colors. Then he spoke, and she looked back to him. "It's fine."
She frowned though, her thoughts buzzing with activity that wasn't hers. She shut her eyes and concentrated for a minute, then looked back at Huntington, smiling shyly. "Ella." She pointed to her head. "She worries."

"I don't sleep so you take it. Seriously." He paused for her comment and smiled softly."Tell her your safe. I won't even be in here too long." |

She shook her head. She was fine, but she really didn't feel like explaining it to him. "I did tell her. But..." She frowned, anguish in her eyes.
"Pourquoi? Don't go...Don't leave me...S'il tu plait?" She almost begged him. This wasn't like her at all. She didn't even beg Ella for anything...Then again...She usually only had to ask and she got anything she wanted. She frowned, hoping she hadn't taken advantage of Ella.

He paused. He thought through what she was asking and nodded."I suppose I'll stay."

LuLu positively glowed to his response. She smiled brightly at him. "Merci boucoup et boucoup!"
She stood and started to run to him, but stopped herself. She wasn't really sure how he would react. Instead, she plopped down on the sleeping bag, crossing her legs and looking at him, full of questions. Full of wonder. She tilted her head, but said nothing.

He raised a brow at her actions. It was kind of curious how she was acting. It made him smile softly but it left."Why are you so different from others I've met?" Just because she didn't ask her questions didn't mean he wouldn't ask her his.

LuLu kept her head tilted, then lifted an eyebrow. "Explain, s'il vous plait?" She wasn't sure what he meant.

He went over to her and knelt down in front of her. "I look and look for any hint of evil in you, yet I find none. How is that when all the others I have met, myself included, pour evil out of them like water out of a fountain..." He gave her a serious look.

LuLu looked into his eyes. She could see what he meant about himself and she had experience that with Azrael. But with herself, all she could do was fear. And she sometimes had a bit of a temper. She blushed slightly, turning her head to look away, ashamed for the outburst earlier he had been witness to.
"Je ne sais pas. Maybe...Maybe it is my fear. Why would I wish to do that to another being? Human...Or otherwise? It is immoral. The fear I feel...It hurts...But it is a part of me...Only Ella has been able to help until now...And now..." She stopped speaking and turned to look at him again. She wanted to say 'And now you,' but she could not bring herself to do it. At least not in English.
She loved this second language escape. She blushed again, before saying almost as quiet as a butterfly's wings flapping in the spring breeze, "Et maintenant...Toi..."

His eyes wandered about her face as he thought about what she said. The only time someone had trusted him this much was with his guild. That was years ago and just as of late with the vampire who had assisted them. His eyes settled on her lips. Had he trusted someone like this before? Even among his brothers?
No. He never trusted easily and never will. Yet this vampire--this woman--shattered all his restrains for trusting someone.
