"Now listen Syl, when we get a moment to spare we may as well go out, throw some tequila down your throat and find the hottest, or maybe easiest in your case, girl, or guy if that is your preference, in the bar. We'll make a man, or adult, out of you yet."

Syl blinked. It cocked its head yet again, still very, very confused. Such human concepts were both perplexing and alien to it.
"Of course I'm equipped," said Syl, "I have a brain! What more do I need?"
It glanced at Trace, then at Pheobe, still confused.
"How do you 'jump a woman's bones,' Trace? Do you eat her? Do you shake her? Do you give her some form of treatment to her skeletal structure? ... And what does it mean to have 'good roll on a sack?' Is when a someone rolls on a sack? or does it have some deeper symbolic meaning that involves people getting covered in dirt while fooling around on a squishy surface? This is so confusing..."
It looked around again.
"I don't get it."
"Now listen Syl, when we get a moment to spare we may as well go out, throw some tequila down your throat and find the hottest, or maybe easiest in your case, girl, or guy if that is your preference, in the bar. We'll make a man, or adult, out of you yet."
Syl gave Trace a cheery smile. It clapped its hands eagerly.
"Thank you so much Trace! If my social skills, as you call them, are as bad as you say, then perhaps I can improve them. Thanks."

'Indeed I am, Arqus.' V said.
He noticed Arqus looking at the others. They seemed to be arguing. Human drivel. Things of no consequence to him any longer.
'Shall we go somewhere more quiet? The courtyard of the Church perhaps? You seem to be the most calm of these people as of the moment'. V inquired, a note of earnestness in his voice.

Arqus blushed at V's words. Here's a stranger, asking him to step out of the church where they could be alone, away from the others.
"He's fast." Bremmen told Arqus, teasing.
Arqus ignored the demon. He looked at V's face and then his eyes travelled to the other residents. They seemed to be arguing. He thought, it would be unhospitable of him to turn down the stranger's offer.
"S-sure." He mumbled, touching the back of his head. "Why not."

Veronica lit a cigarette as she listened to the back and forth... It was getting ridiculous!
"Now listen Syl, when we get a moment to spare we may as well go out, throw some tequila down your throat and find the hottest, or maybe easiest in your case, girl, or guy if that is your preference, in the bar. We'll make a man, or adult, out of you yet."
"Syl, their talking about sex!" Veronica snapped back. She gave herself a moment to calm before continuing. "... Sexual intercourse." Veronica looked at Trace and the new girl, Phoebe, and said, "Shame on the two of you for picking on Syl like that..."

Phoebe stretched out her hand, examining her finger nails, showing off a look of innocence. "Mmm." She could do much worse, and it wouldn't be verbally, it just depends on her mood. She wondered off, away from them, and the human woman.

Johnny looked at Pheobe and said, "Where do you think you're going?"

Phoebe glanced to Johnny, a giving him a sly look. "Over here, away from the drama queens."

V stepped out of the Church. The air seemed less stuffy over here, untainted by the venom of others words.
He turned to watch Arqus step out.
'You seem sad. Is anything the matter?' He asked.
Now would be the perfect time to see how much Myzrael influenced Arqus. V needed leverage on other characters, and Arqus would be the perfect place to start.

"Sad?"
Arqus shook his head, forcing a smile. Then he realize V couldn't see his smile. He furrowed his eyebrows, following him out of the church. Did he sense something in his voice?
"I'm not." He lied, walking past V, heading towards the courtyard. "What made you say that?"
He coughed before looking else where.

Damn, Veronica was becoming such a killjoy.
"Just trying to help the kid live a little, I mean you never know," Trace paused, and added a little menace to his tone "Any of us could be dead come tomorrow."

V smiled.
'As im sure youve noticed, I have this covering over my eyes. It does nothing to hamper my vision, in fact my senses are extremely acute. I can tell when someones lying.'
Baiting people. What a refreshing deviation from the wretched purity V had endured for so long.
'Besides. You are quite easy to read, Arqus. I feel like.. Ive known you for a while.'
The last line came out of V involuntarily; he had not meant to say it, sound so sentimental even. He brushed it off.

He felt somehow embarrassed for lying. Then again why would he open his heart to a stranger? They just met, V couldn't expect him to be "bestfriends" with him already. A calm breeze blew his long golden hair and Arqus had to brush some strands behind his ears.
'Besides. You are quite easy to read, Arqus. I feel like.. Ive known you for a while.'
Arqus stared at V upon hearing his words. He pressed his lips together wondering what he meant.
"How do you find animus so far?" He asked, trying to change the subject. "It's not really the most happening place in the world. If you know what I'm talking about."

A cool wind blew, blowing Arqus' hair. It was blond, like V's. It was a pretty sight, watching both V's form and Arqus' form from above, both their blond locks flying in the air.
'Animus. Quite a strange city. I reckon I havent met everyone yet. No one of particular importance. How about you?'

Arqus' beautiful pale face grew sad with V's question. His ocean blew eyes had a far away look in them. Everything stood still for a few minutes. The wind blew his and V's hair again.
"Myzrael." He wanted to tell V. "I met a dark angel named Myzrael..."
He kept quiet and opted to say, "It is strange and full of secrets. Just like it's residents."
