Jhin walked into the cafe quietly and glanced around. Of course, he really didnt expect many people to be around at this time of night. It was around midnight, black outside, except for the lights that seemed to illuminate the city. He held back a yawn and ordered the usual, caramel mocha. It was late to be drinking caffeine, but what did he care? It wasnt like he had anything to go home to. Jhin rested his chin upon his palm, staring out the window into the darkness. They were alive tonight, but he wondered what had them so active. He noticed that around this city, the vampires werent very active, maybe picking off a person or two to feed their hunger, but there was hardly any deaths. Though tonight it seemed different. Jhin sighed lightly and sipped his hot mocha, he was waiting for something of interest to happen.

Celest walks inside the cafe, dripping from head to toe. She takes off her leather trench coat, hanging it on the side, and finally going to the counter to make an order.
"Coffee, black, no sugar." she said in a silky voice to the young girl managing the register. She then places her cash on the counter as the girl gives the cup of steaming coffee to her.
"Thanks, love."
She then walks to a nearby vacant seat and scans the room. She knew there were vampires in there too, although one of them smelled, different. She just had finished hunting that night and had no intention of getting another victim until tomorrow.

Jhin looked up when the small bell jingled. He had slipped from the seat, feeling slightly uncomfortable with the two vampire women surrounding him. He then glanced at the woman who was soaked, nearly to the bone. His bright green eyes glinted slightly in the light and he noticed exactly what she was. Vampire... He could tell by the sound of her smooth voice. He sat, sipping his mocha as he watched her from behind his messy scarlet hair.

Celest takes one sip from her cup, savoring the taste of the coffee. She slowly puts it down on the table, looking at the swirling liquid inside when she felt she was being watched. She lifted her gaze, blinked once and locked eyes with the human male.
What're you looking at? is what her eyes seem to say yet they also seem to emit a kind of boredom in them.

Jhin simply smiled and sipped at his Mocha calmly. It took him a rather long time to finish, seeing as he preferef to take his time and enjoy the flavor. Jhin liked sweet things. He could see the expression within her eyes and simply shook his head, as if to say Nothing.. Nothing at all. Jhin was a simple man, who did as he pleased, when he pleased. Though he had to say, this vampire woman was quite attractive in a rather... Different way. It wasnt her supernatural beauty, it was more.. Her attitude that had him curious, he was almost tempted to approach her.

Celest breathed out and tore her gaze off the human. She takes another sip from her cup and leans back on her seat, then looks out the window, staring at the rain. She was in deep thought when a voice broke her reverie.
"Hey, you're Silence, right? The singer? I'm the manager of this cafe."
A slight shift in her position. "Yes, I am." she replied in a bored, but still smooth voice.
"Er, I know it's unexpected and all, but can you sing for us tonight? It'll brighten up the place here a bit if you'll sing... I'll pay you any amount, just sing one song for us." The man stated.
Celest took one last ip from her cup and a smile curled up from her lips, "Alright... One song..."
"Great! Thank you very much, Miss Silence! The guitar is just on the stage and if you need anything, I'll be here."
She just nodded and walked towards the small stage. She jumped up the platform with graceful ease and took the guitar, seeing if it was tuned.

Jhin raised a brow, watching the woman move with silent grace, and lithe, fluid movements. He smiled a little, sipping again from his cup, having heard the coversation between the manager and the woman, Silence; as he called her.
"Singer eh..?" He muttered to himself, a small smile upon his lips. He was handsome for a mortal, more handsome than most, though he wasnt fine groomed, he was more... rough edged if anything. Slightly laid back. His own person in all honesty. He kept his eyes upon Silence, watching her curiously.

Contented that the guitar was tuned and ready, she walked up to the tall stool and sat there. She pulls the mic stand and says, "Evening all. I'm Silence and I'll be your performer for tonight, as a special request from the cafe's manager."Surprised gasps and dreamy sighs were heard from the audience. Celest always gets that from the crowd, but she does not mind. She slowly plucks at the strings of the guitar, playing a song that was not too fast nor too slow. A song that was just right for the mood of the cafe. Soon, her smooth, enchanting singing voice joined the music of the guitar. "Woke up this morning, I was staring at the ceiling cracks..."Song she is singing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbz5RbhZ5Js |

Jhin smiled and began to sing along with her sweet, silky voice, his was an undertone, quiet and soft, but rich. He knew all the words, and surprized himself, he was never really one to memorize the lyrics of a song, but for some reason, they just came to him. He liked her voice, it had perfect harmony, fuid and flawless. No surprize for a vampire. His singing continued as long as hers did, soft and quiet and almost unhearable. But there was no doubt it could reach her vampire ears.

Celest continues to sing and play, reaching the refrain of the song. Her sharp hearing caught the voice of the human male's singing voice.
"I have seen, I have been to places far and deep in my mind..."
She smiled slightly, thinking that this human had quite a good, no, great voice, she admitted inwardly. Interesting man, I have to say...
"...only to find comfort in your strangeness..."
She then looked straight at the male with her mismatched eyes. She blinked once and flashed a smile at him before tearing her gaze again from him, focusing once again on her music.

Jhin noticed her gaze and couldnt help but continue to sing along with her song. It had been years since he had sung something, seeing as he had quit his band qhite a while ago. Though he still had a wonderful voice. His voice was hushed, so that others wouldnt hear him, but this was the most joy he had felt in quite some time. His deep forest green eyes almost seemed to sparkle in the light, almost like his soul had been lit up from the inside. He was quite content, she was a very interesting woman. And he considered approaching her after her performance.
I'd love to actually meet her.. he thought inwardly to himself, almost excited at the thought. She was such a wonderful singer, it was a surprise he hadnt seen her around much.

Celest was nearing the end of the song, her being felt almost alive since she loved music and making it. It was the only thing that connected her to mortal living.
She strummed the strings of the guitar one last time and sang the final line of the song, smiling at the fact it was another good performance.
Claps and cheers erupted from the crowd, asking for an encore, but she sadly said on the mic, "Sorry, folks, I only agreed on one song, but thank you, you've all been great."
She placed the guitar back in its place and jumped off the stage. The manager went quickly to her side to thank her over and over and give her the agreed payment. She thanked him in return and walked back to her seat while counting the money she just earned. As she counted the crisp bills in her hand, she stole a few glances at the human male with the great voice. I wonder...

Jhin pulled his gaze away from the woman and looked down at his almost empty cup. He glanced outside quietly, a slight smile curling his lips. It was a wonderful performance, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He noticed the rain falling at a stedy pace from the dark cloudy sky above. No doubt he'd have to sleep sometime soon, but he didnt much feel like it.. Night was more his time, he didnt much like the daylight, it was a shame he wasnt born something like a vampire.
"To be of another world.." He murmured lightly with a sigh, runing his slim fingers through his deep crimson colored hair. He wished that he could be something other wordly, like her. He almost longed for it. But alas, he was but an aging mortal, who when his time would come, would die. There was no eternity or immortality for him. But that was fine, Who wants to life forever?
Live as if you were to die tomorrow.. He thought to himself, words that his long past brother had always told him. With a slightly heavier sigh his glance shifted, down into his cup. He wished he could have saved his elder brother, but he had just lost too much blood. The sound of sirens rang within his ears as he drifted back into those memories, lost within his thoughts. He wondered, if his life would be different, had his brother lived.

Placing her earned cash in her side pocket, she began to think whether she should 'entertain' herself and mingle around with the mortals for a while. It was still dark and raining, plenty of time still.
Celest thought, Maybe just this once...
She made her way towards the male she was eyeing earlier. No, she reminded herself, I have no intention of killing again tonight, I just want a little change in my usual routine.
She finally arrived at the side of the male's seat and greeted him in her usual silky voice, "Looks like you've got much on your mind..."

Jhin glanced up from his glass, snapping out of his thoughts almost instantly, his deep green eyes were almost glassy in a sense. He looked up at her, admiring her mismatched eyes. He smiled slightly and offered her a seat across from him. Greeting her with a hand geesture. She had a strange scent, that he of course could notice. Jhin found that he often paid much attention to the odd details. It was like.. Roses and lilies, with a coppery undertone, blood no doubt. For some reason, Jhin's nose was more sensitive than most. He glanced at her, and spoke softly, calmly.
"I often have much on my mind, Miss Silence." His voice was rich and melodic for a mortal, seeming to almost be musical when he spoke, though far less silky and smooth than that of the Vampire maiden's voice.
