Ariel's tactics would likely only work for a Gangrel. Between their shapeshifting and animalistic traits, their fighting styles ended up being very unique. He'd be better served to ask his mentor for martial arts lessons, but Joseph wasn't ever to turn down a chance to get physical with Rhys.
Joseph would have been most pleased of Rhys kissed him. But the night was barely half over. They had plenty of time.
Ah, that. Thank God Amadeus and Henry had at least informed him about blood bonding. "As often," he agreed. The only reason he'd hesitate to bind himself to Rhys was because of the other damn Warlocks. While Rhys would never intentionally hurt him, his clan would use him to control Joseph for their own ends. "I should have figured the one bit of your education that wasn't shirked was matters of blood." It was a relief really.
