...But as the portraits continue around the room, they are younger men that are noticable more fit and taller, until as your gaze wanders past what seems to be the newest one you nearly jump as you see an exact replica of the last picture, his clothes are dusty and are about 100 years out of fashion, but they appear well tailored and well kept, despite the dust. The man himself looks truly beautiful, like a china doll, his features immaculetly carved his ivory skin, flawless. His fingernails are filed down to clawlike points, but his hands, like the rest of him are perfect, he is tall and lean, without being gaunt and his pale blue eyes quickly search out every detail of the room, and then fix, on you, a slight frown appears on his face, his finely chiselled mouth turns up in a grin finally, and it sends a cold shiver down your spines, "Greetings," he states in a voice with just a trace of an accent, it sounds vaguely romanian, but is almost non-existant so you can't be sure.
Out of respect, Gwynne bowed slightly in response. Instead of seating herself on one of the overstuffed leather chairs or the dustcloth-covered couch, she stood near the entrance of the sitting room at a polite distance. She got the feeling that this very, very strong vampire would not be pleased if she acted on the other vampires' level. She didn't want to be "remodeled" any more than the next dead guy.
"Orrick Has sent you, yes." It was a statement not a question, "How may I help you. As he talks his eyes intently study each of you in turn, before he turns to Bakilas, and says "You have lovely eyes, particularly the left one."
Gwynne would have given Bakilas a sympathetic look, if she hadn't been too busy looking cool, collected, and meek. She continued to think to herself "You are one with the wall-paper... Barakah does not wish you to be stupid and get yourself remodeled... blend..." Gwynne fixed a vague smile onto her face, while all of her senses twitched and hummed with attentiveness.
