He was just waiting. Waiting for instructions on what to do. He had his victims, and he was ready to do what he was supposed to. Or... mostly. There was only one slight little hitch to that plan. Violet, no problem, he could sacrifice her or whatever was required any second he was asked to. He didn't have anything against her, but he didn't have any particular reason to want to save her, either.

However... the snag was with Max. The teenaged boy was intoxicating. Literally, actually. And Armand found himself unable to stop from occasionally biting the alien, draining a little bit more of his blood each time. The boy was very pale. He was coming close to breaking the rules, to killing. And, somehow, at the same time, he knew he would fight Dahak if necessary to protect the alien boy. An odd sort of dual way of feeling, but Armand didn't worry about that much.

The vampire sat comfortably on the alter he'd set up. He'd been there for hours, unmoving. Max lay draped in his lap, and Armand played softly with his hair. Together, they sat, and waited. Max was conscious, but barely. He would likely be in a delerium induced by lack of blood, and the bond that had so ensnared the vampire. Armand showed no indication of letting him go anytime soon, if ever.

There was the girl there, too, of course. Violet. Such an intruiging, logical little creature. He had spent quite awhile busy with her mind, and knew nearly everything there was to know about her. Suddenly, he spoke. "Come here, little girl." His fingers continued to play gently with the hair of the boy draped in his lap. "Come here, I want to give you a candy."

He reached into his pocket, and knowing full well that she was allergic to peppermint, he pulled one of the candy's out. He'd gotten this just for this purpose. And entering the mind of the child, he compelled her towards him, compelled her to take the candy.

The Doctor glanced over his shoulder and gave Kibeth a strangely excited grin. "Having an adventure!" he exclaimed before turning his attention back to the room. He gave Armand a wave and stepped into the room with no hint of apprehension or anxiety. "Yeah, well, that's just me. Rude. Rude an not ginger," he grinned, although he qas quite aware that he was the only person who would appreciate the little joke.

He frowned deeply as he drew nearer, his attention absorbed by the young girl lying on the floor, a rash covering her body and her breathing laboured. "I'm just going to check her pulse," he explained, not wanting to make any unexplained moves that might anger the kidnapper. He knelt down next to the girl and produced a stethoscope from his pocket. She was still alive, but it didn't look like she would last long. "Did you say you can help her?" he asked, turning his attention to the young man lying across the kidnappers lap.

"Adventure?" Kibeth said, sounding almost too excited. She wished she still had a tail to wag. This looked like the interesting kind of adventure, with danger and interesting people!

Still, she schooled her expression into one more serious, more fitting the actual situation. There was one girl obviously sick, and the boy didn't look good either. Sadly, without access to Charter magic, she wasn't much use as a healer. Fortunately, the man she'd followed in here seemed to know what he was doing. She edged towards the kidnapper, her senses picking up something very strange from him.

"You, you are... dead?" she asked the kidnapper, unable to contain her curiosity. If he was dead, he was not any type of dead, Lesser or Greater she'd dealt with before. Which was quite interesting indeed.
