Re: Penthouse Level: 12:00 am
Daniel in the beast was much closer to the surface than Vlad the vampire. He recognized his voice but did not respond in language, finding words beyond him both as they were thrown in his direction and as they were expected to be offered. He landed on his side as Vlad threw him off, but now that he was at the bottom of the stair to R1, he was just as reluctant to descend off that stair as he had been the one before. He did not pursue as Vlad as he backed away, but he showed him his teeth and roared right back. It was a roar of possession, of challenge met. It said, here is mine in a way that was completely and utterly unmistakable. As he had before, he paid no attention to the women once they were behind him, not while Vlad was still on the Penthouse floor. When he finally disappeared around the bend, he stayed where he was, glaring across the expanse, past the Snow Queen's door. It was unclear whether or not he was growling at her as she moved, but when the gleam of his eyes abruptly went dark and he shifted away, that question resolved itself.
