Person: @alucardrakul Location: Amon Sul "It's bold of you to assume I'm not going with you." Etienne slips into the makeshift quarters and behind Alucard where he was gathering things. In the morning it'd all be different again, he wondered how many near death experiences they were going to have at this point. Rising up on the balls of his feet a bit to be able to hook his chin over Alucard's shoulder where he's hovering, his unbandaged and unpatched eye not facing the dhampir. He thinks it hurt his vanity more than it actually pained him, makes him feel somewhat sheepish. But it wasn't something he regretted. Arms slipping around Alucard's waist, he closes his eye and thinks of how the other man had been in battle, how his cape had whirled around him, the set of his brow, his jaw. With the tattoo that tied them together, he projected the flashes of the other, showing him how he saw him. "If the Second in Command will take a one eyed dog, that is." Etienne's tone is playful but quiet, he almost felt like if he were any louder they'd pop whatever current bubble of safety they were in.
