"Somehow I think that one could find trouble no matter what time. And handle it," Valérian said with a smile. It was easier to talk with someone he recognized at least. He'd heard the boy had a sibling who was just as able to find trouble. Luckily he had yet to run across that one; which from the sounds of it was a blessing. He could recall hearing something about stealing fangs.... and much as he had hated them two hundred years ago, he was rather attached to his now.
"I did notice he had a few bruises though... Was he involved in that...?"

"That... yes," Vincent nodded. "As was I. I must confess that I lied to you the night we first met. These," he traced the three fresh scars on his cheek with his fingertips, "were the result of a fight with the one whose job I hear you're taking over."

"Trying to at least, and I assumed that when I learned what had really happened. Though I completely understand why you would lie about that," Valérian smiled, sitting up a bit. This was easier; one person and something he knew about. Fights were something he knew very well.
"At least you weren't hurt more than that," Valérian added, his almost colorless blue eyes looking Vincent over carefully. "You have a daughter, don't you?"

Vincent nodded. "Yes... Ariel. She's a freshman in the Academy. Have you met her?"

"Not exactly, but I have seen her around. She's a very lovely young lady," Valérian smiled. "Very kind."

Vincent smiled, paternal pride evident in his voice. "That's my girl. Never an unkind word about anyone. Just like her mother."

Valérian smiled, hooking a chair with his foot and pulling it over so Vincent could sit. Hoshi was right by a chair, so if he wanted to sit that would be easy enough.
"Her mother must have been a beautiful woman," he said.

Vincent nodded, smiling with a sad kind of fondness as he seated himself. "I couldn't ask to have been married to a more beautiful woman. I only wish Ariel could have known her. They would have been inseperable. Christine was..." Here he paused to try and find the right words. "...incomparable. A blessing to everyone who knew her. Our whole family was devastated when she passed away. Ariel wasn't even a week old."

"That's tough... My mother was one of the most important people in my life. I was devastated when she died..." He closed his eyes. "If I'd been faster... bah, that's ancicent history. There is no point lingering on things that happened two and a half centuries ago."
"I don't know if it would have been easier to have never known my mother. She was unusual in her attention to my brother and I. I'm sure your Christine was a wonderful woman."

"Unusual?" Vincent wondered aloud. "How so?"

"She actually raised us herself rather than leaving us to nurses," Valérian said, smiling a little. "I'd hoped to find a woman like her myself. Now... well, childhood dreams often remain that way."

Smoke sat back down with another mug of coffee and a mostly-full box of little pastries someone had left with 'please take'. He took one out and gestured between Vincent and Hoshi.
"If you want some." Nom. Ooh, raspberry. He looked to Val apologetically. "Or you, but y'know."

Valérian smiled at him and shook his head, "No thank you. I've learned to be exceedingly careful in what I consume, and more so recently. Maybe when I've settled in I'll be more likely to take you up on that."
He put his chin back on his hands, feeling a bit more relaxed. The pastries looked... and smelled really good, as did Smoke's coffee, but even blood was settling strangely in his stomach right now and he hated being sick. Really, really hated being sick, since it was worse now then it had been when he was human.

"Mm, thank you." Vincent helped himself to a pastry, holding his free hand underneath it to catch any crumbs, and speaking to Smoke. "So what's on the agenda to be performed this year?"

Hoshi glanced up from the script, blinking for a moment. He laughed lightly.
"Forgive me, I'm rather partial to Poe," he said apologetically. "The adaptation is very good -- though I think you've strayed a bit from Poe's original vision in some places. Tell me, what exactly were you going for with this? I admit that, as a literature teacher, I'm coming at it from a much different perspective."

"You're welcome." Smoke nodded to Vincent. "Well, there's this-" he tapped the script- "we're doing an actual Christmas play this December, Babes in Toyland, probably the newer version- then Rosencrantz and Guildenstern followed by Hamlet. Shakespeare as usual, but I felt... inspired."
"Always polite, Hoshi." He smirked slightly behind his coffee mug and glanced down at it. This should be the last one; it was nearly noon. "Mostly, I'm writing to the expected audience. Horror hits harder when it's easy to relate to; and the deliberate isolation and... paranoia, I think is the best way to put it, are the main themes I want to work with."

Valérian listened quietly, blending into the background amazingly well for someone who was so pale they were practically luminescent. Horror... he knew something of horror. His pale blue eyes rested on whomever was speaking at the time, with an eye to learn what he could about each person. It was how he'd been spending his time for at least a month; blending in, watching what was around him. Hopefully that would stand him in good stead now.
He still debated coming in a costume to the audition. Not that anyone other than Smoke would recognize him anyway. Hmm... he had a lovely red velvet outfit, complete with a feathered mask. With his pale features, he would be striking in it. Even if he was so short. Silver and red were very eyecatching together. A soft smile touched his lips at the thought. He did rather enjoy attention in the right setting.
