@scorciare  --   continued!

         There’d been someone else here all evening, he’d felt their presence yet couldn’t pin-point their body in the masses of people. Another dark entity looking for a meal among unsuspecting humans, frequently shifting and darting through the hustle-and-bustle of the New Year’s Eve crowd. The Dhampir had been trying to locate and irradiate them all evening; it had been the task set for him by one of his superiors, to ensure that there was no unnecessary disturbance on Lohr property. They did not need extra eyes on their name, after all --

                      -- Found them!

Dhampir, female, too focused on something else to notice his presence  --  Baltasar’s red eyes followed her gaze and found something he did not expect ... a familiar face. Someone’d he met not long ago, still relatively unknown to him yet intriguing enough to hold his attention; to have his feet move instinctively in her direction as the countdown signalled the end of the year. He was unsure what compelled him so, but as the clock chimed and cheers rung out, he’d pulled her into a kiss that neither of them had really anticipated. 

          “ Listen to me, ”  He’d just about heard her words over all the noise, but had felt a little too embarrassed to acknowledge them. The broad hands still resting on her shoulders pulled her closer; he eyed the other Dhampir as she eyed him, her face full of fury as realisation had finally hit.   “ We need to get you away from here ... you’re being followed. ”
