Vladens new dormitory room's -Invite only- Melanie, Horril, Ember, Danni.

"Alice..i wouldnt have said it if i didn't neither would Horril.." Vladen smiles warmly and invitingly at her. "Come back to the dorm with us" Vladen sing's along with Danni in his head, his voice deep and rich as the smile on his face deepen's into a grin.

"You won't want to know whats on my mind though..." She looked to the ground silently.

Vladen smiles and eat's an Oreo. The sugar he guess was in them was helping him to stand upright. Smiling at Danni he shuffles a little straighter upright and look's at each of them in turn. He wouldnt fall and he would walk calmly back to his dorm room.

"I am with Vladen there,come back to the dorm.Join us and well you can talk about it relax mess around what ever you need "His voice full of secere concern.

" That stand's for me too Alice..if you will accept my apology too.. I was wrong" Vladen look's for Danni and his packet of Oreo's briefly before his gaze shift's back to Alice. He grip's the wall a little tighter and lean's against it. Why had he worked on his bedroom so soon after the rest of the room. It had been foolish so soon after it. He was tired now and his scent was as dull as his blood.

"Then come back to my dorm with us Alice..We might be able to help you.." Vladen voices softly. He wondered where Mel was, She would know what to say to help Alice.

"I am here if you need to let off some steam or talk,I know Vladen would and will say the same when he gets the chance,we are all here for you Alice." He smiled re-assuringly.

She sighed. "I know I haven't been acting like myself.." She blinked against the sun."I just...have a lot on my mind right now...."

"You just don't seem yourself Alice" He decided to divert from conversing over hunting to something a little less hunger forcing "You know,when I was stubbournly refusing to speak to you I really wanted to Alice,you are,were and hopefuly will be again one of the most important of my friends to me,almost as if you were family to me." He shrugged slightly releasing her wrist.

Vladen listen's to the exchange from about 5 paces behind Horril and Alice. Leaning against a wall, he takes deep breathes and wait's for Horril to finish. He wanted Alice to join them all in his dorm. She was his friend and she should not feel bad. It had been his fault beside the pool, He had lost his temper and let his mind dwell on Rhiane too readily.

"Yesterday." She whipped her head around."Why?" She tilted her head some and her golden eyes sparkled in the sun.

He catches her wrist quickly "Wehn was the last time you hunted Alice?" He frowned,he knew he had almost stopped himself from hunting but Alice had always seemed more sane than to do that.

His mind full of Mel. Vladen blushes softly and shakes his head to clear his mind. Standing up and walking from the room with a wobbly step he follow's Alice. "Alice please..wait.." Vladen speak's softly from behind her, his tone light and easy. "Alice..Please..stop before i fall down" Vladen grin's from behind her. His step was a little off, and his sent would betray how tired and uneasy he was by how muted it would be. Dull and drab.

She looked at Horril."It's fine...I..I have to go anyway so.." She walked away from everyone. Her expression unreadable.

HE scowled and caught Alice just outside the door "Sorry I reacted that way Alice,just our last conversation stuck with me and well yes I over reacted,I let myself loose control there,sorry."

Vladen struggles to stand up, making his way over to the door he shout's out into the Corridor. "Alice..your doing it again!" Stumbling back into the room to sit beside Danni and eat another Oreo. Vladen turn's his gaze upon Horril. It was cool and calm and more than a little calclating. "Horril..Alice is a friend of mine, Yes..she has strong opinion's..You need to let the fact that you think everyone is going to hurt Ember go dude..this isn't Sheinara..this is the Academy..and our new home.." Vladen's tone was light, but had an edge of seriousness to it. He wanted Horril to truely understand his word's.

Vladen then turn's his gaze upon Danni and look's at her for a moment, a soft and ashamed smile crossing his face.

She looked at the oreo and shook her head. She looked at Horril and winced. He really thought he would hurt Ember?! She nodded once at Vladen and was out of the room in seconds.

He released Ember moving into a crouch at the sight of Alice,their last conversation had not been one Horril would forget as she had expressed he dislike for half-breeds,though his body had reverted to it's frozen vampire state Ember was till half vampire. He slowly settled back by Ember,in silence watching Vladen and Alice.

Vladen couldnt help but laugh out loud with Danni. Her sweet singing voice filling his head, he was trying to shield his thought's, but this was more fun. He wished Mel was here so he could share it with her too. She would have liked to listen to it.

Vladen look's up and wait's for Alice to enter. He hoped she would, and he knew she had no need to apologise to him. It had been as much his fault as her's. Vladen looked at Alice and smiled softly, taking an Oreo from the packet Danni held he throw's it lightly to her.

"Here Alice..Have one of these..and there is no need to apologise..Im as much to blaim as you..take it easy and join us..Kick shrui over a bit and take a seat"

Alice walked in slowly. She could smell all the other people in the room. Great. An audience... she thought to herself. "Um..Vladen..I came to say I was sorry for..what happened by the pool the other day." She looked to the floor partly.
