Betty hooked her arm in his with a small smile "Your a vampire and the legends about sunlight are they-" she asked.
Lysander chuckled. ”I won't burst into flames if that's what you're worried about. It does burn very badly… It's hard to describe the feeling. I try not to stay in it longer than I have to.” He had grown used to feeling pain but he had never attempted to verbalize the sensation.
"What if I told you I had a cure for that" she asked and looked at him.
Lysander gave her a look of disbelief. ”If it's to cover my skin with more clothes, I’m afraid I already discovered that method. And please don't suggest an umbrella during the day.” he cringed slightly. ”If I looked older than I do, then maybe it would work. But as I am; I look ridiculous.”
She shook her head she reached into her back pocket of her jeans which showed of her legs and pulled out a black ring with red stones.
Lysander raised a brow at the piece of jewelry. ”That’s beautiful. I hope that isn't an engagement ring.” he teased.
She rolled her eyes playfully "It;s a daylight ring" she said.
”How does it work?” He had to ask. ”It’s obvious I would have to wear it but how would it protect me?”
"I'm not sure exactly it's like a shield from the sun" Betty said.
”Interesting.” He hummed. ”And how did you acquire this ring?” Betty had unexpectedly become something of an enigma to him.
"My secret" she said with a smirk "You want it".
Lysander chuckled at her playful response. ”If you are offering. I am curious to see if it does work or not.” he admitted.
she held her palm out to him the ring lying in the middle.
”Thank you.” Lysander smiled, taking the ring between two fingers and slid it on his ring finger. ”Though I feel I should warn you; I have been this way for so long, I tend to sleep very late into the day.”
"I'm a early bird so if you wake up and I'm not there don't freak out" she said.
He nodded, acknowledging her habit. ”Would you like a tour of the house now or would you prefer to explore on your own in the morning?”
"I'll explore in the morning I'm exhausted" she said.
”Very well.” He consented, leading her to the master bedroom.
Betty looked around in curiouity.
The parts of the house that they passed thru were elegantly furnished. Lysander had more of a preference for Victorian styles but it wasn't outdated.
Betty looked at the vampire with a kind smile "Thank you, But I would like to rest it's been a very tiring day" she said.
“Of course. I don't mean to keep you up. Your bedroom is right here.” Lysander apologized. The bedroom was painted dark blue and had blackout curtains over the full-sized windows. ”Feel free to redecorate anyway you’d like.”
"Thank You" Betty said with a slight nod waiting for him to leave so she could change.
”Sleep well.” Lysander gently took her hand and brushed his lips over her knuckles before he walked away.
Betty blushed a bright red and quietly closed the door. She changed into a tank top that showed her stomach and shorter than expected shorts that showed her legs she opened the door back up and slipped into bed pulling the covers up drifting to a deep sleep.
Lysander had moved most of his belongings to one of the other bedrooms, giving the master bedroom completely to Betty. He never really needed that much space anyway but he would give her as much as she needed. Since he no longer had a reflection, he had no idea if he could blush anymore but that had been the first kiss he had given without an intent to drink from the receiver. He sighed and went to the living room, as he wasn't tired yet, and turned the tv on a very low volume and flipped channels.
Betty switched her nose in her sleep. The nightmare was back The one where she would go to the lake for the day and when she came back all of her twelve brothers had beeen killed by her father. She turned in her sleep wimpering.
Even with the tv on Lysander’s ears had practically tuned out everything in favor of listening to Betty’s heartbeat. It was practically instinctive for him, even if he covered his ears he would not be rid of the sound as long as he was in the house. He had already sated his hunger for a while so she was in no danger from him but as he continued to listen he noticed a change in its rhythm. He stood debating if he should check on her or not.
She tossed and turned in her sleep her breathing heavy she was sweating everywhere.
