In retrospect, it probably wasn't such a good idea to try to touch squirming locks of fire that could potentially burn you, but the dhampir couldn't help the curiosity. That was actual hair, right? Or was it some weird ghostly vapor? Either way, as he was standing behind her, he took advantage of her distraction and tentatively poked at a lock of hair, before twirling it around his finger. Then proceeding to do the same to other parts of her hair.

Valerie had decided to go checking up on Sora in his new ‘hang-out’, making sure to bring some supplies along in case he needed food, or something to keep him from getting too bored when the weather wasn’t good enough to be out and about. She’d explained everything she’d brought, and was pulling it out of her backpack when she felt something brush against her hair.

She stiffened at first; She hadn’t heard Sora move (damn how quiet he could be when he wanted to be!) and so was unsure what exactly he was trying to so. But then she felt more tugging along her hair, which started flickering more in her increased confusion. “… Just what are you doing?” She asked, looking over her shoulder to see him twirling her hair around his fingers, at least until the ‘flame’ part would flicker out of his grasp.

He really should have let him sleep. He reeeeeally should have left the poor pup alone. But watching the precious ball of fur curled up for a nap sent him a wave of nostalgia that was almost painful. So he crouched down next to him, hesitantly stroking the top of his head.

           When he felt the hand on his head, he let out a yawn, eyes not opening until after he uncurled and stretched out some. His joints were still slightly stiff, posture still showing his slight grogginess. Sleepy golden eyes looked up at the one that woke him up. "Bonjourno, Sora.." He would have said more, but he was cut off by another yawn. He shook his fur out, the collar he was told by family to wear jingling lightly with the motion.

  He had been coming up behind the pup, and at the sight of the tiny dog, Sora felt the first stab of compassion. “Hey buddy,” he called softly, and knelt onto one knee. He held out a hand in greeting. “What are you doing alone out here? I’snot safe for a little guy like you.”

           The canine knew who Sora was, but the brunet didn't seem to realize who he personally was.. Which was rather amusing to the male. It took a moment or two before he tilted his head some and blinked.. this was rather odd of a situation, but he could deal with it. "Sora, it's me.. Van." His usual voice came through, accent and all.

"So does doing stupid stunts come with the job or...?"

"Weeeellllll…they tend to happen from time to time yeah…they’re not meant to end badly…but yeah."

"Yo home boy let's go fuck shit up!"

"Heck yea!" Was his response paired with a fist pump and a wide grin. He had no idea what Sora was referring to but he figured it’d be fun.

"I’m not saying-!

…I’m just… wary. Some don’t really like me cuz I’m still too “human” for them, and… the other half wants me dead because I’m not supposed to exist. The one guy I thought was trying to help was… he was just using me to make himself feel better. I don’t know who to really believe any more right now.”

The woman's weight shifted, golden optics watching him a few moments. "It should not matter whether one is human or not. Even less so if they are only half. But it's understandable, not many operate under the same beliefs that I do." There was a pause, the demon reaching up to fix a strand of her hair. "And I'm sorry to hear that someone treated you that way. But it's not gonna be every demon you pass that will treat you that way.. I promise you that."

…well that was a completely unexpected reaction. The young dhampir sensed the vampire from afar, and was already bracing himself for trouble. Insults, growling, possible confrontation and the like. Thing was that Sora was just… tired. He didn’t want to fight today. So he had, in a manner of speaking, jumped on him first. But the instant apology threw him off. Sora watched him from behind blue-lensed sunglasses, before relenting and glancing away. “Sorry. I guess I confused you for someone else. Don’t worry about it.”

His posture remained tense until he felt that the danger was mostly passed. Carefully he came forth just another step, head tilted to the side some to examine him better. Would it be rude to ask what he was? Probably. "It's alright....are you okay though? Something wrong?" His want to help people was as usual showing through and had him offering a lax hand to the other. He knew that curiosity would eventually win out and he'd have to ask. But for now he was content with just trying to be helpful. As it was so heavily ingrained in his behavioral patterns.
