FAR FROM THE STARS | Joining

[Nero]

Nero's confidence grew slightly as Suiteheart comforted him, and he slunk out from behind her to get a better look at Shininglight. So far he didn't seem so bad, and Nero felt a little guilty for judging him by his appearance. Merihem's presence helped too. Nero was still unused to physical contact, but the liked the warmth of the feline beside him. He let out a soft purr and tried to ignore the sound of Merihem's heartbeat, banishing the thoughts of feeding by focusing solely on Shine. "My names Nero," he said softly, staring into the feline's mismatched eyes. "It's... nice to meet you too." Despite Merihem's jab at Shine's monologue, Nero found it quite pretty. He too appreciated the flowers, although he hadn't had much of a chance to admire them during the day. He hoped that soon he would be able to handle the harshness of day as well as the other vampires could.
