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.

Kibeth muttered a curse as the girl stumbled and slumped against the wall. She didn't trust how long the agreement to let these two go would last and she wanted them well away from here. She grabbed at the girl's shoulder and pulled her upright.

"Get out of here!" she hissed, trying to convay her own sense of urgency. "Get back to your room where you'll be safe. Quickly!" She gave the girl a gentle shove back down the hallway. Hopefully she'd get the idea.

Kibeth on the other hand went back into the spa only to catch the boy's anguished protest of the Dead's treatment of the Doctor. She crossed the room in a quick two steps and reached for his wrist.

"Come on" she said, keeping her voice low, and interposing herself between him and the vampire. "You're weak right now. Let's get you safe and I'll help the Doctor."
