Thursday: October 25, 2007
Who: Aveira and Mikhail
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Blacksmith and Weaponsmith shop
What: Aveira encounters a new friend

Aveira felt somewhat refreshed this day in ways that were hard to explain. There was no shame in going to the Medical Pavilion to seek out blood, she walked with more confidence and when she worked she got more accomplished, her eyes set on the knife she was now customizing. It was truly interesting how much a conversation with a likeminded person could persuade her to see things differently. In fact there wasn’t much persuasion.

When the knife was complete she toyed with it in her hands, admiring her work. Her hand feared no consequence from the blade when she began to flip it idly in her hands, thinking about what she would do for the day when she grew bored of working and wanted to steer more towards adventuring into the town. All she knew was she wasn’t one for staying inside even with the decreasing temperatures.

After lighting a cigarette, the vampire sensed someone was in the shop and she turned towards them slowly, settling the knife on a nearby table where she hopped up and crossed her legs. “May I help you?” She asked in a low tone, crossing her arms as well. Most people had a lot of questions, so it was best to make herself comfortable.

All morning Mikhail had been working on his motorcycle. It was that time again when began to check out what was growing old even in it's lack of use. Now he was very upset because he had to try and replace one of the foot pegs for the passenger that never rode. Over all he diagnosed that it was just aged and the nuts were rusted out. That wasn't the only part, however. The nut was stuck inside the peg where it was able to attach to the bike.

"Damn it," he had mused to himself in Russian that morning when he managed to break it off. It killed him to have to do such a thing to his beautiful baby. She was like his daughter and he cared very deeply for her. So he had to fix it immediately. That was the end of that.

After lunch he took off to the blacksmith shop where he brought one of the peg's. Maybe they could make something similar. As long as the hole and nuts fit together properly he figured it would be alright. Mikhail sighed as he marched over before heading inside. There was no longer a need to sigh--unless it was in awe of that woman's beauty. The Lycan had to look at the wall idly for a moment and collect himself. He was not at the bar for drinks and tail, he was at the smithy to get a peg.

God that didn't work out appropriately in his brain.

"Yes," said the tall man as he approached her. Holding the weighted metal piece in his right hand, he motioned to it before passing it along. "Can remake?"

A Russian? A Russian who was in frank terms hot? This was worth dealing with many questions and obstacles. Something told Aveira that he knew about mechanics at least a bit. “Sure.” She stated with a smile forming on her lips. “I can at least try. There is enough scrap metal here to build three houses. I am sure we can do something.” When she noticed the peg, a brow rose. She slid off the table and walked closer. “In exchange you owe me a sight of that bike.” It was a little price to pay. She could have made him give her blankets for the upcoming cold weather, or something of more value since food was useless to her.

A peg almost was like making a bullet. If she could form a bullet (which she could) she could form a peg easily. “It wouldn’t take to long to form it. It’s the heating part that is a bitch.” She may as well have stated it frankly. The vampires head tilted in curiosity. “How in the hell did you get a bike here?” It was worth hearing, especially since she had a knack for automobiles.

“What kind is it may I ask? I wish I could tell just from the peg, but I’m not that good.” Her step father was some kid of genius with that. He could narrow it down to about two models or so. “Speaking of which, I need it so I can make a copy. That is unless you want it to be a little different.”

Oh well at least they both found each other attractive. That would make any event that may have occurred much less awkward. But that aside, Mikhail watched Aveira walk over and take the foot peg. It was about a 1.5" in circumference and 5" long. It was a rather basic peddle seeing as the bike was ancient and he had been replacing parts from who knows where. She'd never be able to figure out the bike with that no matter how good she was. Though the part was taken from a 1939 model, if that mattered to her.

Smirking back at her and her joke about some houses, Mikhail put his hands in his jean pockets while shifting to find comfort on his feet. "Only want see bike?" he asked. That was shocking. She wanted nothing else for her work? Well, if she didn't want blankets she could certainly climb in with his if she so chose. He would have no problem with that at all.

Seeing as they then had time because they had to wait around for the fire, he'd answer all of her questions in full broken English. "I here since Elysium founded," he said. "Had to argue, but won in end. Keep bike in living room." He grinned, pleased with himself. Crossing his arms, Mikhail moved to shift on his feet with his right hip to the side.

"Is 1946, Harley Dav-ed-son, panhead. Black." He quite enjoyed talking about his bike and knew far more about them than he let on. He didn't just know a bit about transport and mechanics. He knew a whole darn lot. It had, after all, been his job for many, many years.

"Keep this peg. Make two of." A hand pointed at the peddle in her hand. "But if need see bike, we go no now." He shrugged. It didn't bother him, his house wasn't a mess. Even if it was it wouldn't really matter. Mikhail lived how he had always lived; not one person's opinion would change that. Though the house was neat and everything was put away except for the parts lying around on the mats in the living room. There was, Mikhail realized just then as he itched his chin, a spot of grease on his skin. And his hands.

If anything he was the mess!

Aveira could mend the piece in just about five minutes given the size, so when she took the peg she set it down and began digging for scrap metal meant to be a suitor. She listened intently to Mikhail’s broken English, somehow wondering how he had learned the language. Was it recently or did he just learn it on and off from time to time? She challenged herself to the five minute timeline and worked on matching the shape and size of the peg. This was going to fucking work no matter how many times she had to remake the damn thing.

“Mhm. I would kill to see your bike. I’m a girl who sees to believe. Plus I’m an auto junkie, so seeing an automobile of any kind would be like seeing a damn unicorn.” She looked over her shoulder with a teasing smile then continued her work. Two minutes left.

The Russian sure as hell seemed to know his shit and her smile widened when she finished the peg, showing proof of her accomplishment. “Harley lover huh? It’s good to know some are true to the brand that has the best history. My father used to whine about always having to fix everything from the motor to the shotgun exhaust on those things, but I never cared. Harley’s are worth it.”

To make sure the fire heated well enough to mend the peg to work the expected task for the bike; the vampire started a dull fire and looked in Mikhail’s direction not showing a sign of declining his offer. “Then let’s go.” She almost stated in a bossy tone while walking in his direction. Upon passing him, she whispered lightly in his ear.

“You have something on your face.” She grinned slightly after she passed him and walked outside, breathing in the fresh air.

Oh, tough girl. Mikhail liked. He grinned to himself while she worked, leaning back on his heels with his strong, muscled arms crossed over his chest. Of course it was a shame you couldn't see his muscles because he was wearing his usual black, leather jacket. The front was zipped half way by now, he having been warm by the heat of the fire. Hands moving to fit in to his jean pockets, the man shifted on his feet while waiting.

Aveira was good at this. "Where learn to shape metal?" he asked curiously when she paused in her work. The Lycan didn't want to distract her. That was a wild fire raging on over there, anything could happen had she stopped paying attention. He feared working on his bike and something would happen that would call him away. These hobbies were the kind that often went a rye when you weren't being careful.

"You can see. No ride, but see." He grinned. Mikhail would have loved to give her a ride on the motorcycle but he feared more than an accident running out of gas. Should there ever been a time when he needed to use that bike and he didn't have gas. . .well, he would not be happy with himself. "Was import. Russia not make Harley." Of course not, they were American creations. Beautiful things made my man. Mikhail loved them. He'd have killed to get his hands on something from the thirties, but his ride would do.

Taking several steps back to lead out in to a walk toward the door, Mikhail paused when she approached him. Commanding too? Hot damn. He may as well have been a dog liking his chops in desire for a piece of the meal straight off of the table. That or the cartoon wolf that whistled at the very attractive women usually singing some kind of ballad and rolling around on a piano. Not that he could make the reference himself for he had never watched TV, but the idea was there.

"Hm?" Blinking, his hand rubbed at his face before he strolled on out after her. Inwardly he chuckled.

Well, it could have been a lifelong story how the vampire learned how to shape metal. Her father was an asshole who left her to rot in the pits of their family tree, so she lived with her mother and met her talented step father. But it was time to stay positive. You couldn’t angst when a hot guy was within a five foot radius. Especially if what she went through to shape metal could be turned into something to brag about. It made her think about the gun she had at her place that she crafted when she was seventeen. Ahh, that thing was her baby. It was as almost as useful as a man. You pulled the trigger and it did something for you.

“Well. When I was thirteen, I used to get into a lot of fights in school. We are talking, punching girls until they were unconscious, throwing guys into lockers. That kind of thing. But since I didn’t want a bad mark on my school record, my step dad took me into his chop shop and not only told me how to fix cars..but he told me how to shape metal. I started on knives and things. Then I started working on guns. I have my own custom gun even. It took me about six months. But it sure as hell was worth it.” She lifted a brow in his direction. “Maybe I can show you sometime.” A pretty, terrible smirk rose on her lips. “Not use. See.” If she couldn’t ride his bike, he couldn’t see her gun. Okay..maybe she even had guns.

But Aveira could understand why he was protective over his ‘baby’. It was like Italian cars in America. Ferraris were such shit in her opinion. But business men felt like they were the shit when they drove in those overpriced ‘guaranteed to get you killed’ cars. “You must have spent a pretty penny then on your bent little baby. So we better fix her up.”

As soon as she grabbed her sweater, she closed up shop and began walking at a fairly fast pace. “So! Aren’t you going to entertain me with how you got here. WITH a bike?”

Blown away, Mikhail stood in the doorway as she moved about, put on her sweater. When she finally left the building he still felt like some kind of animal that wanted her attention. It was an awkward feeling, though he knew it well. He knew his track record with women, those nights at bars. The man wasn't proud of his one night stands, but how did a Lycan tell a human what he was? She probably would have thought him crazy. At least here, in Elysium, the people knew that Werewolves really existed and it was quite possible he was one. Yet there was a poking thought in the back of his mind that he hadn't seen Aveira before on the runs. She wasn't a Were, which was fine. But he didn't know what she was either. Mikhail really needed to learn to get out more.

Hoping down the front steps and on to the grass, the taller man fell in stride with her. Hands in his jacket pockets, he smirked. "Bad girl," he mused. There wasn't meant to be anything behind the statement as it was more of a random comment. "Uchk. I no touch, promise." Mikhail grinned and flashed at the busty woman to his right some pretty white teeth. They were very straight, though he had never seen a dentist about it. He was just fortunate. "Pretty ladies not need to be fighting." Take your compliment Aveira, Mikhail rarely gave out good ones.

"I was not, eh, put out," carried on the man as they walked briskly. He nudged her in the appropriate direction of his bungalow as they went. "Worked as mechanic, saved. Got good mech. job for car company. Bought bike." A shrug followed his statement as they moved along. "How got here? Why? Is not obvious? Rode bike from Russia. Was long trip." At that he laughed. Driving from Kirov, Russia to Elysium was kind of like driving from Maine, in the USA, to. . .perhaps Mississippi. Perhaps farther. "Took days, but I do not mind riding alone so much now." He'd been pretty singular all his life, whether he had a companion on the back of his bike for a road trip wasn't all that important in the grand scheme of things.

"And how did you get here without bike?" Mikhail smirked warmly at Aveira. He felt oddly comfortable around this woman, despite a sense in the back of his mind that she was not one of the few humans here. She didn't smell right for that.

When Aveira was informed she was a bad girl, a grin arouse. “You have no idea.” As they walked she glanced over at Mikhail. “Good girls are pathetic. It’s the bitches who are the hot stuff. The ones who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.” The vampire stated candidly.

In reply to Mikhail’s statement on pretty girls not fighting, the vampire couldn’t help but release words of challenge. “Hmm, why? You never know. Some of us just may want to take good lookin’ guys like you on. Never underestimate who can kick your ass.” The vampire teased, walking ahead of him. Aveira appreciated good looks, but never made advancing comments unless she genuinely thought someone was her type both in behavior and looks. Mikhail had that something about him she liked.

Aveira listened closely to Mikhail’s explanation on his arrival to Elysium and followed him towards his bungalow. He could get anywhere with a bike and that face of his. She was a bit jealous and envious that she didn’t think about bringing a nice bike of the sorts along as well. “You know. For a Russian you a pretty smart…getting all this way and making sure your first love made it all the way with you.” She poked at him.

How did she get here? There was room for snark. Aveira liked being playful with this one in ways not meant to offend, but to see how he reacted. His accent played very nicely off of his lips. To Aveira Mikhail’s accent was nothing like the Russian’s over exaggerated in films. She wanted him to talk more. She wanted him to entertain her like perhaps she was entertaining him. For her? She was admiring a nice, very attractive, muscular Russian man who wasn’t going to let her touch his bike. But in due time, she’d be nice and cozy on that bike. Just watch Mr.Mikhail..just watch.

“Oh, it was easy getting here. I phoned Marry Poppins and asked for her umbrella. All I had to do was hold on tight and alas! I was here!” She stated theatrically, a rather mischievous smile on her face.

She was teasing his, though he couldn't say he disliked it. Aveira was an interesting one, that was for sure. He rather liked talking to her, which was a first because Mikhail seemed not to like talking to many people at all. "You get hands dirty," he mused. "Melting all day." Internally he thought she must have had to take extraordinarily long showers at the end of the day. Blinking, he pushed the thought away because this was not the time or place.

"I should like to have ass kicked by female," he said with a grin. "Would be change from kicking other ass, no?" When Mikhail did get in to a scrap it wouldn't take him that long to get out of it. He was strong, tough skinned, and had a sort-of immunity to pain. Not to mention if he really needed he could have shifted in to his wolf form and torn them to shreds. Fortunately that had never been something to come up because he could fight just fine without it. He was quite good at hand-to-hand combat, but give him a gun any day and he'd shoot. He had a steady hand. "Do you think you can kick my ass?" he asked. It was a very serious question that really, if she said yes, would have to be brought up at a later date. He had to see this.

Shrugging with a thin smile, Mikhail shook his head. "Second love," he joked. With the women he had been around back in the forties, with those dresses and the hair, he had thought he'd been in love at least once. He may even have been, but with his aging rate compared to a human's it just wasn't possible. So he pretended not to love at all. Not to care. Perhaps that was why he seemed to give many people the cold shoulder. Yet he frowned and looked at her after the fact.

"Being Russian?" he asked. He felt marginally offended, though he was sure this woman hadn't meant anything by it. Mikhail was not dumb at all. He heard what people said about his country, about the education going on their. Were they supposed to be stupid people? His arms crossed over his chest, shifting around uncomfortably as he tried to decide what to say to this. It felt a little late to let it drop, now that he had commented on it. "My country not filled with fools," he told her. "Gagarin was Russian. First man in space, 1961. I was remember clearly." America was the second in space, if he recalled correctly. Didn't people often make the comment "it's not rocket science" when saying something wasn't difficult?

He gave Aveira a level look before shaking it off with a wave of his hand. "Mary Poppins not exist. Fiction. Try again!" He gave a light grin. Mikhail wasn't really angry with her, he just disliked when people made rude comments toward his homeland. He loved and missed it greatly.

Aveira turned towards Mikhail with a dead serious stare, her lips pursed and her cheekbones tightened. She even continued to walk backwards, not missing a step as she spoke a few confident words towards Mikhail. It was not certain if she could beat this mans ass. A giant part of her screamed hell no. In fact she would probably lose. But it was an excuse to not only enjoy his company in the form of a fighting match, but she could see what he was made of. Maybe she could even see him without the whole leather jacket thing going on. That made her grin a little mischievously.

She didn’t mind taking a hit from a guy. Of course, she was going to hit back with shameless blows. “I know I could kick your ass.” She drew her hands down a nearby tree before she turned around to continue moving in her Russian pals stride. “I’d even challenge you to a match one day. We could make a bet and everything.”

Ah, so his bike wasn’t his one true love. She could take a first guess as to what his first love was. How could a guy not like the ladies? Well..of course their was the men who fancied the same side. But that was obviously not the vibe she was getting. “Hmm..Yes what a wonderful combination. Women first, bikes second. That’s like a Pyromaniac with a set of matches.”

Aveira made a ‘poor baby’ look in regards to Mikhail’s offense at first, but realized he actually took his heritage seriously, which was something to respect. “Americans are idiots.” She stated frankly. “No I am kidding. We are all equally idiots and I will have you know that many of my first grade guns parts are from Russia. Not to mention Moscow Russia is the most expensive place to live. That means many of you Russians are also very rich or house rich people and thrive in architecture. So, you must be doing something right. Though…I have to admit I am not a fan of your food.” She teased.

A very small chuckle arouse from her throat. “You know, perhaps the rocket science thing did come from a Russian talking to a silly American.” She shrugged. “I’m from Israel. Didn’t stay there long, but that’s my homeland.”

Damn, so she would have to try again as to her tale on how she arrived in Elysium. No harm there. “I was living in New York City when the news came. So, though I wanted my step father to come along with me in search for scouting missions, he sent me ahead…due to complications in New York City. I found a set of people heading here not to far from New York City. Many days later we found ourselves here. The rest is history. No umbrella. Just a lot of walking and water travel.”

For the moment, Mikhail thought he couldn't have remained angry at that face even if he wanted. He knew he could easily hold a grudge if he wanted, but Aveira gave good replies and excuses and apologies. Letting it go, he smirked and shook his head lightly back at her. "We will see who wins bet, then." Mikhail pointed at himself. Aveira might have been feisty, but the only way for her to win was to vampire out on him, or use her feminine ways. The man would fall to his knees and beg should she do something drastic he was not expecting to need to counteract.

He quite liked that she said Americans were idiots. Their latest president sure had been one. "We make good guns," he mused in return. "And our food is best," he chuckled. Not everyone was in to their style of cooking, just as he really couldn't stand some other foreign foods. Try as he might, there were a few dishes his stomach would not settle for. Ever. Indian or thai had never really been his friend, but they got along if he was careful. "You cook foods from Is-ri-el?" he questioned. "Is good? Never had." Mikahil wasn't sure what constituted as Israeli food versus another kind. He made what he liked and ate out when he wasn't sure how to make it. That was that.

But just as he was about to reply to her comment on coming over from New York City, conversation was stopped. While he was pretty positive these trees did not move on their own, a hand shot out to grab for Aveira when he noticed a root right in her path. She seemed to be going at such a carefree pace from his point of view that he was positive she had to be about to trip. So his hands took hold of her biceps with firm but not breaking grips. Reflexes quick, though not like a cats, Mikhail pulled the woman away from harm and toward himself.

"Should watch where walking," he teased while looking down to her with a grin. Mikhail couldn't remember the last time he had smiled so much in one sitting.

[[Was this alright? I can change it if you don't like it. I'm pretty sure I'm walking the line of controlling Aveira, but I saw the opportunity and decided to jump at it! Lemme know if this doesn't work for you!!]]

Food from Israel was actually pretty good. Most people were absurd as to what people in the Middle East ate. Not everyone was going through the tragedies of war. “Yeah, I can cook food from Israel.” She confirmed. Though she couldn’t really eat the food like she used too thanks to being a vampire, she would be willing to cook for her new found acquaintance. “If you stop by my place in Helicharis, I will make you some food. You know, test out if you like it.” Good excuse to get him to come over. Though she did life like a man as far as making a mess, she could cook like a lady. Of course she could also clean up as fast as hell.

Aveira sometimes walked with too much confidence and she made a small gasping noise when Mikhail had moved her from becoming a little too friendly with a tree. If it was a normal person her nose was have still brushed up against the rugged surface, but Mikhail moved with a certain speed that was far from normal. Before she even brought in a sarcastic “my hero” or a “thank you” she folded her hands and referred to the tree.

“What are you?” She wasn’t scared, in fact she had a face that read “tell me the truth or I’ll beat it out of you”. Her cheekbones tightened and she had a serious glare. “I would have still bumped into one of these damn trees had you not helped me out with your..whateverthehell.” She let her glare deepen.

“And..usually my steps are…are..perfect.” She lied.

How, Mikhail wondered, had their conversation taken a turn for the worse? He looked down at Aveira, unable to answer her comment on making him dinner. He was the kind of man that would love to eat whatever his female made for him. The kind of guy who would like to come home after a long days work to be greeted by a pretty, steady girlfriend or wife. But these were not things Mikhail had thought about in a long, long time. Dwelling on the life he could not have was worse than dwelling on a bad one he did have. Today he didn't see being a Lycan has a bad thing, or a disease, it was just something he had to live with. The Russian walked hand-in-hand with his "problem" and took it in full.

So far it had worked out pretty well.

"Me?" Mikhail echoed as if he had no idea what she was talking about. At first he really didn't. But that look in her eye and her explanation cleared it up just fine. Though he very much would have liked to believe she was perfect, she certainly looked it, he doubted it. Nonetheless, he tilted his head back and gave a small shrug. They were living in a haven for all sorts of supernatural creatures. There was no reason to hide anymore.

"Werewolf."

He was not one to beat around the bush. Some things needed to be said and so he said them good and fast. Blunt. He only hoped he did not drive this woman way, she was very attractive and he rather liked her personality. Most women in the past who were as beautiful were annoying.

This was one of those things where Aveira’s glare turned into a light expression before she grinned. A werewolf? This was somewhat perfect. Here she was worried about his opinions on ‘bloodsuckers’ when really he had some ability that had some pretty bad stigmas of their own. “Oh, well in that case it’s fine by me.” She assured playfully. “I’m not scared of a big bad wolf. Especially since I’m supposed to be somewhat as fast as you, but it appears I don’t know how to put speed to use.”

She let that statement hang in the air for a moment before she stated bluntly. “I’m a vampire. Not really a good one considering I’m I guess what you would call new.” She dug her hands in her back pockets, somehow amused. “Color us special right?”

Though she couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been for Mikhail during the full moon. He had enhanced senses all the time, however the fur thing was once a month and that had to be rather unpleasant. Unless he had a high threshold for pain and was used to it. Then again, how did one get used to their bones moving about and their all around body structure changing? The thought made her brows arch slightly.

“How long have you been a werewolf?” She was careful with the next question and even looked down slightly. "Did it hurt? Does it hurt?"

When she said she had no problem with his condition, Mikhail began to walk again. His hands fit in to his own jacket pockets once more as he moved at a slow pace. So, this was one of those conversations. Well, alright. He would take that in stride as well. Though he was mildly amused at the fact that she was a vampire.

And a bad one. He actually smiled a little bit at that.

"Special, yes," Mikhail agreed with bemusement. His eyes turned to look down toward Aveira's face. No wonder why she was so lovely and appealing. Vampires had that extra little oomph, didn't they? In the past he could not recall meeting one, but had heard and read about them. Movies were big on them.

"Hmm," they always asked and he always had to think about it. Time kept moving on and he got lost along the way sometimes. "I about seventy-years old." He paused in his steps to look at the sky, as if he could see the answer. "Am eighty-fife, was about twelf, ah. . .yes. Sixty. . .eight years?" He looked toward Aveira to judge his math and her reaction, though neither mattered much. He was already moving on to the next topic at hand.

"Was painful. I have high stamina-- High tolerance to pain. It hurt only little bit now. In neck. Mostly feel, eh, disgusting." Today was not one of his better English days, it seemed. Usually he did pretty well.

Aveira almost had the most stupid moment of her life when Mikhail stopped. Too cover the fact that she almost ran into him when he stopped, she set an arm on his shoulder and looked towards the sky like she was helping look for whatever he was searching for. “Eighty five?” she repeated dumbly. Well, she hoped she was that good looking at that age. Vampires were supposed to appear forever in their youth, so she guessed she had nothing to worry about. Though that was in the movies so it could be complete bullshit for all she knew. “Eighty-fucken five? Wow, you’re looking quite good for your age.”

It was awfully sad though to be made a werewolf at twelve years old. The vampire knew that she would have been scared out of her mind. She was a pretty tough girl at about that age, swearing she wasn’t afraid of anything. “..That’s horrible. You must have been scared out of your mind.” The how and the where, she wouldn’t dare ask. Aveira already felt incredibly intrusive.

“Can I see it?” She smiled a tiny bit. “Your..uh neck?” She grinned towards herself a little. High stamina was a good thing in some areas. Plus, if people usually couldn’t handle pain that might be a tiny plus as far as being a Were.

What a silly woman. He liked her. Mikhail smirked slightly as she came to balance against his shoulder. Right. "Eighty-fife, yes." Nodding, he gave another smirk with a tilt of his head. "Thank you. I thought so." It was a joke, of course. He was not the best at delivering them as it had been a while since he needed to, but it was executed well enough. "I am very handsome."

Willing from under Aveira's arm, he took her hand and looked in to her face. He shook his head while dark eyes never left holding her gaze. "I was scared, yes, but I no think about now. Not memory I like, see? I don't recall much. Blurry. Attack, parents die, I end up in hospital. Middle, poof. Gone." He used his hands to demonstrate the poof of missing memory, shrugging immediately afterward.

"Neck? Why neck?" Mikhail tilted his head to the side while watching her grin just a smidgen. Ah. She thought he had been bitten on the neck! "What, I look like vampire?" he teased while taking his heavy, leather jacket off. He held it in one hand while his t-shirt clung to his strong, wide chest. Ink decorated up and down both arms, but he turned over the right one to show the underside to Aveira. "Claw scratch, here." Pointing at two faint lines across his skin, covered now with yellow Soviet Union stars. Twenty-something it seemed, inked in to his flesh. On the other, less wounded arm, ran a dark furred wolf through a foggy, moonlit sky upon the outside from bicep to wrist. A moon was drawn in to his upper most muscles, names printed upon the silvery clouds in the sky. Mother and father. If she looked, though why would she? at the back of his neck, she'd see yet another tattoo. He was very prideful of his country, no matter how many odd laws they might make.

Aveira punched him lightly in the arm when he teased her about her somewhat stupid reaction towards his age. “Shut up ya old fart. Technically you should be wrinkly and in a nursing home. Not to mention you would be shopping for powered wheel chairs and not have a hot looking bike had life ended up differently.” When it came to him being handsome, with folded arms Aveira simply answered. “Yeah, you are. You’re a smartass too. It fits you well.”

Jesus, he lost so many things throughout his life, but he took it with such a light heart now. He did have..well..many years to get over it. But even still. “You want a hug?” She asked in a teasing manner, but her eyes showed a genuine sense of caring. She wasn’t the cold-hearted bitch that would actually joke about losing loved ones. “At least you ended up an alright guy. Besides, it’s better not to remember things like that..right?”

When Mikhail started to take his jacket off, Aveira grinned shamelessly. “Well geez, let’s get inside first.” The vampire joked before she scanned her eyes over his ink that decorated his perfectly toned muscles. “ A tattoo junkie? I got to say that’s quite impressive. I’m guessing someone takes pride in their country. That’s an admirable thing. Not to mention I have a huge fetish for tattoos. I have a ton of my own.” Of course some of hers he wouldn’t get to see right away since they were in..classified areas. She would have said that maybe she had a pain fetish, but she kept that to herself.

Without asking, she ran her fingers across the tattoo on the back of his neck. “Told you I wanted to see it.” Guess touching wasn’t in the bargain, but she couldn’t see him complaining. Her fingers were a tad rough, her calices hardened due to the work she frequently did in the Blacksmith and Weaponsmiths shop.

Shaking his head with a smirk, he rubbed where she had punched him. It didn't hurt. He hardly noticed because he had such a high tolerance to pain. Her punch was more like a tingle than anything painful. "Eh, I would prefer have died at sixty. End early. Had nothing anyway." He shrugged it off because his past didn't really matter that much anymore. All of that was behind him and he tried only to look toward the future, as grim as it could possibly be at this point. At least, he thought, it was a future. "Ha, like being smart ass. Good for teasing you, yes." He grinned before turning and walking away before she could hit him again. Ah, this was fun.

"No. No hugs. Not a huggy person." Holding up his hands in a cease-now manner, he shook his palms at her. In truth he just didn't want to hug her because he knew himself. Touching pretty ladies was dangerous, if she got in to his grasp she might not get away. But then Aveira caught up to him again anyway and he stopped walking. Alright. Maybe if he just pretended she wasn't hugging him.

Yet she didn't hug him. Mikhail was somewhat relieved, somewhat disappointed.

"Outside is best. Wild." He sniggered while attempting to remember the last time he'd had fun and could admit it. The time had really slipped away. When last had he laughed like he was now? "Ah, not junkie. I only ink for reason." His hand passed over the right arm, by the scar, upon the stars. "These for friends who died in war. Wolf is obvious." He paused while putting a hand upon the back of his neck, fingertip touching against the side of one of her own.

"It says Soviet Armed-Naval Fleet." His eyes turned with his head to look at Aveira, see her reaction. Many people didn't seem to approve of his tattoos, but if anything she looked as though she were enjoying it. Especially if she had a fetish. How odd. There was one more he hadn't pointed out, but it was not so grand. Upon his right bicep above the stars was inked "Project 26" which was the ship he had served on. "You have rough fingers," observed Mikhail. He did not sound as if he hated it. Mikhail once had some pretty bad hands, too, from working on the cars all day long. But it had been quite some time and his bike no longer gave the same challenge for his palms as it used to.

Not a huggy person?” She repeated. Anybody could have said that and it wouldn’t have been funny or repeat worthy. But when someone had an accent like Mikhail and presented the statement the way he did, it had Aveira looking at the ground with a large grin on her face. Though she tried not to laugh, a small noise came from her throat.
“Not a huggy person huh? Saying that just made you a huggable person. It’s one of those things where you just said something adorable while not trying to.” Finally her smile subsided and she took a breath before being able to look at him seriously again.

Aveira listened intently while Mikhail spoke of his tattoos. When his fingertips met slightly with hers she didn’t draw them back, in fact she somewhat put the tips of her fingers in between the open areas of Mikhail’s.

Seeing the Project 26 marking brought curiosity within her and she repeated the name out loud. “Project..26. Makes you sound like an experiment or something.” She traced the number with her index finger then laughed about her fingers being rough. She sometimes wished she had a smoother surface on her hands, but she couldn’t help it.

“Well. Sometimes I don’t work on things for awhile and the skin softens, then when I work again, my fingers get all rough and gross. I guess they are in the rough and gross stage now.”

Shaking his head in a rather serious manner, as he didn't see what was so gosh darn funny, Mikhail repeated himself. "No, definitely not." No one probably thought he was all that hug-able aside from Aveira anyway. Just looking at him when he was in one of his moods was like staring at ice. Hard and cold and painful if you fell on it. Yet this woman was laughing, or trying not to anyway, and telling him differently. Well, she hadn't tried to hug him which was good.

"Neh. Was ship worked on. I fix helicopters and mechanical equipment." Arms crossing, one hand moved from where it lay atop the opposing forearm to take her hand in his. "Hm, they not so bad." Smiling softly, he ran his thumb over her fingertips and the knuckles on her palm. "I have something for this," he told her. "In house. We go now?" They had stood around outside long enough. Mikhail really would have liked to talk to her more about his bike and get her that lotion. It was just a little something he picked up from the medicinal pavilion earlier in the year when his hands had broken out from all the work he'd been doing.

Letting Aveira's hand go, the man flung his jacket up over his shoulder and held it still with an index finger hooked on the collar. He lead her out to the water bungalows and they walked all the way to the house farthest to the left. Inside it was relatively bare, but comfortable. They entered in to the kitchen which was neat with the various things one needed to cook. Mikhail kept his sink clean because he hated having to do dishes in general. Doing built up dishes was just displeasing. Taking the vampiress in to the living room she was finally able to see his darling of a bike. It was glorious, sitting propped on its kick-stand about a yard out from the wall. Black paint covered the tank and tire covers, a 1.5" line of red running over the left and right sides of each. Above and below that red strip of paint came a thin 3/4" yellow line to border it off.

On the floor lay various external pieces needed to still be put on, but for the most part the bike was back in its complete shape. "Can fix?" he smirked at Aveira while standing back to let her have a look.


[[You wanna wrap this up? We need to move on to more awesomeness~!!!]]

When seeing the bike, Aveira remained somewhat speechless, in a trance that he not only got a bike in Elysium, but a BEAUTIFUL bike that she might attempt to steal in the depths of the night. Of course it was obvious that his senses were far to keen for her to get away with it. It was a good moment of wishful thinking though.

She had to walk around the bike just once and let her fingers almost touch the beauty. Something of such treasure should not ever be broken. “I can fix it.” She stated with promise. Not just with promise but with determination. “There are two things I would like to work on so I can guarantee I will be stopping by quite often.”

Mikhail had such good tastes in bikes and that was yet another quality she favored. “All right. Let’s get this started. You’re baby will be up and running perfectly in no time. I promise.” With that said she started the process of fixing the foot peg.

((DOOD YES, MORE OSSUM? Me thinks, Aveira needs to congratulate Mikhail on his nomination, ;) and ahem..of course see how the bike is doing!))
