Magical protection in exchange for protection? He wondered who she needed magical protection from and who he would need protection from by helping her. He wasn't stupid. He knew the worst of the worst hung out here in the Projects and he'd seen them. He had no clue if she happened to be one of the worst of the worst. She didn't seem to be but that was just the surface.
"You want magical protection and in return you'll give me and mine protection. Protection from what?" He asked her curiously, lightly, staying perfectly still as she kept hold of his shirt. She smelled really nice. He instantly scolded himself for smelling her.
"What exactly would I be doing? Sorry I have a lot of questions but I want to know what I'm getting myself into before giving an answer." He kept his gaze just above her eyes because he knew about vampire compulsion. He'd also decided he didn't necessarily feel threatened by her. She wasn't being hostile, if anything she was being over friendly.
