Cardelle < Kazimir

Card: Kazimir? It's Cardelle.

Card: I know I'm one of the last people you'd want to talk to right now.

Card: But I think we should. If you'll allow me.

Matias hadn’t even thought it was a question, so he hadn’t bothered to ask Kazimir if they were going to the party or not. He walked into the vampires office, ready already in his leather chest harness with a sheer black crop top and skin-tight black short shorts. The gold collar around his chest glinted in the light, but attached to it and tucked down into the harness was a green light-up leash. He even had glitter patterns on his face but he saw that Kazimir wasn’t dressed to go out and his brow furrowed, “Oh... We’re not going?” Matty pouted, looking down at his outfit before looking up at the Overlord. “I know that you’re the Overlord, and you have appearances to keep up but... Please? Please can we go? My friends will be there and I know you’re not going to let me go on my own this time. Everyone’s going. Everyone, Kaz. Maybe... Maybe your other human will be there? We could just go for just an hour and then come home if you want? Please?” 

It didn’t take much more pouting for the vampire to say yes, and soon they were at White Swallow with wide eyes looking around the room of barely clothed people. Now this was a party. No matter how much he wanted to run off and explore, he only moved to the bar... Where he saw Axel. Great. His comment earlier was not meant to be true, but there the second-in-command was. Grabbing a drink as the cogs turned in his mind, he ignored Axel and turned to Kazimir, “Do you mind if I go and request a song from the DJ? I’ll come straight back.”

VAMPLOMACIES

Location: Kazimir’s Manor Time: 23:50 Closed for: @fangedkazimir​

In her time in her role, Jessie had seen a multitude of calamities that had left parts of the Westside in pieces, lost people that she’d cared for and been charged with maintaining the order despite her own personal opinions. She’d always done what was necessary; what benefitted her kind and kept them from extinction – because that was the threat of this century once again, and it had been a common battle since the last war. She’d put aside trivialities that were considered luxuries to others in order to further their standing and keep them from falling as the world once did.

Power meant sacrifice. 

What Malcolm had done – when compared to everything she’d seen, was nothing more than a lovestruck youth blinded by emotions. He’d never known real consequence – the closest he’d likely come was when Jessie had taken his life from him and offered him one anew. She’d seen something in him then. Questionably, not the same thing she saw in her protégé now. But she stood by her word – she’d do what she could for him, remind him of the position he’d put their kind in, without even mentioning the one that she herself may have been dropped into because of a rash decision in a moment of weakness.

But that was up to Kazimir, not her.

She couldn’t change what he’d done, and the start of repairing the damage; the rift between the West that pitted humanity against the immortals once again in a volatile match of lives needed to be done carefully, and without antagonising either party involved.

It just had to be the Commander, didn’t it Malcolm?

Even she couldn’t stop red lips from ghosting a smile – disbelief that of every creature left on the the plain of this world... But if she began to rewind back to play the game of blame, then it would be her found responsible for putting the dominoes in motion. Mal was her protégé, she’d never stopped his infatuation – never believed he’d have listened without something drastic.

So after the initial surprise – it really wasn’t surprising at all; it was an inevitability.

Heels stopped outside Kaz’s office, a knuckle rapped gently against the wood – a moment given before she stepped inside. She expected it would be a long, drawn-out strategy put together by the both of them, two powerful minds with skills that rivalled one another’s strengths. By the end of it, she imagined that for the first time in a while, she and Kazimir likely wouldn’t like some of the same results, have different minds about reprimands as well as recommendations. 

However, his would always be followed – and as Jessie has always done, she’d stand by necessity.

“Kazimir,” a beat – no delay, neither of them were likely interested in small talk these days as she approached his desk. “How are they?”

he had been bratting out to kazimir via text, completely focused on himself and seeing his friend. though, his love saying that he didn’t trust him had hurt and it had caused him to lash out in the only way he knew. until matias received the text message saying that the overlord was bleeding, and couldn’t get it to stop. he had no idea why in the hell he hadn’t come straight to matty, but the feeder rushed to the vampire’s office.

“you should’ve come straight to me.” the human chided, taking over putting pressure on the wound whilst standing on his tiptoes and offering his neck. “drink. as much as you need.” matias instructed, leaving no room for it to even be taken as something to be questioned. kazimir had said once that he was bossy when he was worried, and he sure as shit was. “i can go for teddy to blood if i need it, ok? and he’s coming with more for you just in case.” a beat before he spoke again. “please, mi rey, what happened?”

Malcolm was seething to realise that Jessie would’ve felt the danger he found himself in with Demitri when he was punished by the older vampire; he was seeing red, calmed only by the burn of the alcohol at the back of his throat mixed with the blood that was put in his drink. He wanted to tear someone’s throat out, not for the taste of the blood or the killing of humans, but to satiate the rage he felt. He imagined his teeth ripping out Demitri’s throat, but something told him he wouldn’t get very far with that.

As soon as he had calmed enough to face the Overlord with some semblance of decorum, Malcolm made his way outside and looked around for the man. “Kazimir?” He called, before finally setting eyes on him and moving closer to the other. “I apologise for creating drama amongst us, and I apologise if I snap, but I just—... I’ve never been this angry. I can’t stand him thinking he’s fucking better than everyone. Superior to everyone.”

When he woke, he found himself alone in the house, any marks from the night before gone. He must’ve been so exhausted he fell asleep, the wounds healed from vampire blood he could still taste on his lips. He didn’t mind, but he also had never woken up in Kazimir’s house before... especially not so on his own. He knew not to go snooping, it wasn’t worth his life, but his stomach was rumbling so he wandered to the kitchen in the hopes of there being food fit for human consumption. Matty had just opened the fridge door when he sensed the presence behind him; he turned, brow raised slightly as he tried to decide if he was overstepping any marks that the other might have laid out. “I--... Well, I was hungry. Are you, uh, sir?” His claimers needs were always before his own, exactly how they should be. He could be seconds from passing out due to lack of food, and he’d still offer every drop of blood in his body to Kazimir.

now, honestly Matias… do you think you have what it takes to be a vampire?

normal: 

“of course, it’s just a matter of when i’m ready to give up my mortality and the ability to sustain kazimir and let someone else take over that. i think i have some time left in me as a human yet though.” 

honest:

“no. honestly, no i don’t. but i would rather be turned and get to spend my eternity with kazimir - and teddy, despite everything - than grow old and have this life be my only life. i’m happy where i am now, don’t get me wrong, but i can’t have this be the only life that i’ve lived. so much of it was shit, not lived fully. i want to be a vampire i’m just... not stable enough yet. and perhaps not old enough. most the vampires round here seemed to have been turned in their 30s or 40s. i’m only 25.”

matias: are you prone to jealousy?

"if you'd have asked me before kazimir i would have said no. and it's not that kazimir has made me into a jealous person in the slightest; it's that i once again have something to lose. as a kid i used to be jealous of people with an actual family. i have more than just kazimir to lose now, there's teddy too and there's actual friends. so yes, i get jealous quite a lot. i'm working on it, with a therapist."
