who rafe and simon where their apartment when shortly after dark what talks and things status/rating ongoing and tbd
This place wasn't getting any easier to deal with. Raphael prided himself on being a strong person, but lately, he had just felt sad. Well, sad and annoyed. He missed his Clan, his home, and his Magnus. Only Simon knew that Rafe was hurting because of the lookalike warlock's words. He shouldn't let such stuff get to him, but he had a lot of time to just think. At that moment he was actually sitting in the living room, his feet up on the coffee table. His normal attire had taken a slight turn since he may or may not have been wearing one of Simon's stupid nerd shirts with his designer jeans.
What? Sometimes even the Head Vampire needed to not bother with super fancy clothes. That or he was just not overly into looking his best at the moment.
He turned the page of the book in his lap but hardly seemed to focus on the words. Instead, well, he actually let his thoughts fill with a conversation Simon and he had talked about. There was a way for them to walk in daylight supposedly and he had no idea how he felt about that. Rafe hadn't seen the sun since the 1950s, but Simon...Simon had lived in the sun much more recently. Yet, Simon refused to actually leave the older vampire in the dark. If Simon was to walk in the sun then Rafe had to as well.
Was that something he could do?
Vampire were children of the night and it had always been that way. Part of him wanted to say yes just so Simon could hang out with his stupid little friends, but the other part just wasn't so sure. The book was snapped shut as he closed his eyes, leaning his head against the back of the couch. He almost felt like he was being tempted with the apple by a serpent. Being able to walk in the daylight had caused ancient vampires trouble, but he knew he and Simon were not stupid. At least he figured Simon wouldn't start attacking people left and right.
Rafe reached up and draped an arm over his eyes, pulling the t-shirt up just slightly to expose part of his stomach. Then the older vampire just sat there and worried away. At some point he was going to have to talk with the Shadowhunters and that Meja Bane, but for now he was content to think about the sun.
