Sionnach

[irishfox]

Witch. Shade. Fox. Really probably shouldn’t.

For Inframundo

[irishfox]

It wasn’t “proper” for a young woman of means to travel such long distances without a chaperone. And while she had no desire to be “proper”, there were some necessary precautions she must take to keep appearances.

To her credit, Aisling had proven herself a worthwhile companion.

While Aisling got the lay of the land of Glastonbury from a local point of view, she herself would make her way toward the Tor despite the late evening hour.

She was simply disgusted by the lack of reverence that these people showed to an important site. They didn’t deserve to be surrounded by its magic.

[inframundo]

Dom had been drawn to sites of magic even before he had been turned. He had felt the energy thrum through his feet, drawn up in his hands, and now that he was turned it only made it seem even stronger in their pull.

It was how he'd ended up there in Glastonbury. The church was still working on overrunning the truth of this place but he could feel it.

It was what lead him to the well that night. His cloak was drawn about him, the hood up over his head and casting his face in shadows. He was barely visible in the dark shadows as he lay his hands on the edge of the pool that formed around the well, feeling the energy drawing up towards him through the stones and water.

[irishfox]

Sionnach drawls her shawl closer to her though unbothered by the breeze and strolls easily toward the well. From some distance away she felt the pull and the energy of the location. It only becomes more potent the closer she gets.

It was only due to her gift with the shadows that she quickly spots the figure from some distance away and hums to herself. As she draws closer, she senses something different from him - a creature of the night, no doubt. Vampire, if she has to guess.

The polite thing would be to wait her turn but she isn't known to be very polite and so she steps to the other side of the well and kneels down.

"If you're looking for a cure for what ails you, I doubt you will find it here."

Many come, after all, to find a cure but she somehow doubts that's why he's here.

[inframundo]

He feels her before he even hears her. Energy like that was potent, intoxicating and deadly. He draws a breath, shifting to draw one knee up, prepared for fight or flight. Whichever he needed, though he was given to fight before anything.

When she speaks, he can't help but snort is amusement before he can stop himself.

"I haven't a desire in this world or the next to cure myself because what I have doesn't ail me," he admits, lifting one hand to draw back his hood. "Don't tell me that's why you're here."

That energy he can feel might be a burden but he hopes she isn't that foolish to wish to be rid of it.

[irishfox]

While it may seem that she isn't paying attention to his every move, she's very aware of her surroundings and of him. Not that she's truly all that worried, she has enough power in her pinky to protect herself should the need arise.

At his snort of amusement, Sionnach can't resist the little smile that curls on her lips before lifting her head to watch him draw back his hood. Whoever decided to turn him had chosen very well.

"Good," she says. "Oh no, darling, not at all. Nothing could ever hope to cure me because much like you, it doesn't ail me in the least."

[inframundo]

He knows she's dangerous and wicked in what she is, and yet she could take him down in a moment and yet she hasn't. He had known there were others here but he hadn't expected to run into one of those that watched over this area.

Which was maybe a mistake on his part.

"Are you one of those that oversee the well and ensure it's protection then?"

Just the power radiating from her seemed as if that might truly be why she was there.

[irishfox]

Her? Be some sort of protection over the place? It was charming of him to think so!

"No," Sionnach says with a delighted laugh. "I am here solely to bask in its presence and give my reverence to the most magical of spots," she says. She's not one to revere anything or anyone but for a place like the Tor? She would.

"And you?"

She was far more forward than most women of the time, she was sure. But she didn't think he'd have any issue with that.

[inframundo]

"Then we came here for the same reasons," he admits, not finding a reason not to be honest about why he was there. Even as he watched her closely. That laughter made her answer interesting, to say the least.

"A power drew me here, something that I couldn't ignore the call of. I had thought it was the Tor itself but then maybe I was mistaken."

There's no hiding the look he gives her or how obvious it is that he means hers.

[irishfox]

The answer he gives is a pleasing one. Wasn't she just thinking that no one appreciated the sanctitity of the place? But then he mentions that a power drew him here and maybe it wasn't the Tor.

She tilts her head and considers the other man.

"You are a brave one, aren't you? I've heard so often about others running in fear of my power but not being drawn to it like a moth to a flame." And oh, it is often a delight when they run.

She liked this vampire. She didn't know him but he was captivating all the same.

"What is your name?"

[inframundo]

"I've been told there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity and I admit, I'm never sure which side of the line I'm on."

Which is a joke, yes, but maybe not entirely one either.

"Why would they run? That sounds more like their weakness if nothing else.

He offers his hand to take hers for a kiss if she lets him.

"Dominicus. And yourself?"

[irishfox]

Sionnach grins when he says that and admits he's never sure which side he's on. "You seem to know yourself well enough which is more than what I can say about so many others."

Her grin only widens at his next response. "I agree, it is a weakness on their end but it is delightful when they try."

She watches him closely to see his response though he was a vampire, surely he would enjoy them running as well, right?

"Pleasure to meet you Dominicus. I'm Sionnach," she says, offering her hand to him. "What brought you to Glastonbury?"
