Lestat spun around to see who/what Kayla was smiling at. "IS IT PRETTY?!" He searched frantically for the source of kayla's smile, turning people around to check thier faces. When he reached Xue-Li he tipped her backwards to see her face. "I bet it was you!!" He laughed and smiled warmly down at her in his arms.

(( OMG. That is so Lestat. *cracks up* ))
Watching Lestat's antics, Kayla splutters. Then, not being able to help herself, she begins to laugh.

Xue-Li, needless to say, looked pretty darn freaked out. "Um..." she said, a nervous smile forming on her face. "Do I know you?" She clutched the handles of her bag even tighter, as if the small action would help explain her situation.
She tried to take a step back, hoping she wouldn't seem too rude.

Lestat let go of her which allowed her to step backwards. "Well aren't you cute. heh." He smirked at her and reached for her hand. "I'm Lestat, and i doubt you know me. Who might you be?" He glanced at Kayla and Artemis to make sure they were still in the same place.

"Um..." Xue-Li began again, cautiously taking another small step back. "Why do you want to know?" I guess those safety lessons in health actually had a purpose, she thought dryly, and braced herself to run if need be.

"Oh dont worry. Hes perfectly harmless." Artemis smiled reasuringly, but muttered softly so that only the Non-humans could hear her. "If hes been fed recently."

Lestat frowned and dragged Xue-Li over to Artemis and Kayla "Tell her i'm not a pervert or anything. I dont think she would believe me, if i were to tell her." Lestat leaned agianst the builing and stared of into the sky. "and... umm... yeah. i've eaten already."

This did not serve to reassure Xue-Li; if possible, she looked even more confused and worried. "What...does eating have to do with anything?" she asked, having not heard Astral's words.
Frankly, she wondered why she hadn't already wrenched herself away from Lestat's grasp and run; any person with at least one functioning brain cell wouldn't be inclined to trust strangers, let alone decidedly peculiar ones. Not that Xue-Li would've been able to make it very far: The week's groceries were in her bag.
But even if they did mean harm, wouldn't they be less conspicuous? If they were robbers, wouldn't they have taken her valuables already? And kidnappers usually weren't so...talkative during their tasks. Neither would they go up to random people and strike interesting--if confusing--conversation with them.
Okay, so maybe they would do the last one.

Kayla took one more look at Xue-Li's face; that, coupled with Artemis' little comment, and Lestat'd oh-so-innocent-and-slightly-oblivious answer, was enough to make her start laughing again.
"B-but Lestat," she managed, between gasps. "You ARE a pervert. You've got Shadow scared to get within 2 miles of you. Don't worry though, miss," she confided to Xue-Li, in a giddy voice, "He only goes for attractive young males- he has excellent taste. No pun intended."

Lestat, who was very surprised by Kaylas comment, gasped and put his hand on his hips. "Well !! Now she think's i'm going to kidnap her! gosh... you guys are no help!" Lestat decided not to smile, in an attempt to hide his vampiricness. After realizing he was still holding onto her arm, he let go and apologized. "Oh.... sorry about that. umm... i didnt mean to hurt you, if i did. You are free to go!" Lestat, forgetting what he earlier decided, smiled brightly showing off is teeth. "OH! Wait! you cant leave yet!! Lets go get coffee!!" He then pointed to a nearby coffee shop, and nodded to Kayla and Astral as if to say 'Lets get coffee!! Plleeeeeaaaasssseee!!'

So...do I leave or not? Xue-Li wondered. And why does that person--Lestat--have fangs?

Kayla made an amused noise. "I've probably said too much. What do ya think, Artemis? Coffee shop or not?"

"I could go for a grande Mocha right about now." Artemis nodded. "and theres this great little designer shop right down the road that I was headed to before I saw you..."

(( But Astral...it's just so hard to resist! And actually, i never called you that. I narrowly avoided doing so several times by sheer dint of the memories of the LAST time you exploded over us getting the two of you mixed up. ))
Kayla nodded. "Then it's settled," she said, draping an arm over Xue-Li. "You're coming with us to get some coffee. If you've got nothing better to do, that is."

"Um," Xue-Li said, for what seemed to be the millionth time this conversation. No wonder her teachers thought she needed extra English lessons. However, she actually had a decent excuse to say it--she actually wasn't sure whether the coffee shop offer applied to her as well.
She snuck a quick glance at her watch: fifteen more minutes until her parents would wonder why she wasn't home yet. Another step back. Then another. The next one brought her back into the swell of people clogging up the sidewalks, and Xue-Li let the tide carry her back to her apartment building. She heaved a sigh of relief, though the manners book in her head--which she had been raised by since her birth--chastised her for being rude.
She took the steps two at a time, panting slightly by the time she reached the fourth floor. The bags of groceries swung like deadweights as she struggled up the last staircase.
There is a chance those fangs were fake... Xue-Li thought. Or maybe it was just a trick of the light, or my imagination....
