[Roue]

Despite all the names that Rabbit rattled off, including the name of the common tongue that they seemed to be communicating in, none of them were recognizable at all.? If he thought that his world was big, being suddenly thrust into an existence where there were more than one universe and more than one world connected to it...? Well, it was not an easy thing to wrap your head around.? The more he tried to make sense of it, the more it _didn't_ make sense.? How many other places existed which had connected to this dwelling, a crossroads of sorts as he understood it?? How do people find their way here?? Can they leave and come back?? Based on what Rabbit said, they could, if people coming here could be taken at face value.? Though when the shorter boy asked if Midgard was a club.? He had to cover his mouth as he stifled a laugh, instantly regretting that as a wave of nausea hit him.

"Rune Midgard is a what...a club?? No!? Rune Midgard is a..is a world!? It's _my_ world!" Roue exclaimed, patting his chest in righteous indignation.? Why, he had half a mind to scold the other, as to how he didn't know of Rune Midgard, but he held his tongue back.? It would not do to admonish someone that he's just met, for one.? Slept with, really, "fucked his lights out" for two, which he was told was a good thing.? A really good thing..? Three, he would be no better than the parents that he's spent most of his life running away from, and if he allowed himself to act in the same manner, well, then there would be no need for all this running.? The elf sighed, realizing that he was so indignant that he had actually stood up, looking around himself.? Coughing to clear his throat, Roue sat back down, at least having some scruples to look sheepish in regards to his own actions.? If he wanted to have all of his questions answered then he needed to hold back and act the proper noble that _he_ was raised to be.

"Sorry...I have problems...a lot of them, and most I'm running away from.? This is also a lot to take in, and I have way too many questions," he said, looking back up at his...what could he call Rabbit?? Bed-mate, impromptu lover, stranger-I-just-met-whose-lights-I-just-fucked-out?? Admonishing himself for saying all of those, Roue stretched out his hand to Rabbit and grabbed hold of his, gently shaking it as he introduced himself.? He was not prepared when he felt a sudden rush of tingling in his skin, taking his hand back.? His eyes immediately fell to his left wrist, fingers of the other hand rubbing the spot where he received his bed-mate's kiss.? It seemed to react the most to the touch.? "I'm Roue Windmere, an elf noble from the mage city of Geffen within the world of Rune Midgard.? Coming here was a happenstance.? I was not looking for this place, but it seems to have accepted me just the same, so I suppose I owe...this, and you, for allowing me to come here."

He sat back a little, thumb idly rubbing that itchy spot below his palm.? Rabbit mentioned he was a vampire.? Like the word English, it too seemed quite alien on his tongue.? He supposed that the first real question he could ask, well, _questions_, would be about this place and about his host.

"So what is this place, this club, Rabbit?? Who are you and how do you fit into here?? You mention you are a vampire...? I must admit I am not familiar with this term.? Yet you say it has something to do with hurting, or not wanting to.? Is what this vampire term you mentioned have anything to do with why this spot seems to tingle the most?" the elf, softly tapping the same spot on his wrist that he didn't seem to be able to take his hands away from.
