It was a beautiful night in the city, near the park where people often wander the night was a bench. There sat a very well dressed man who had been in deep thought. Contemplating things as he watch people move about, his thoughts on his fledgling”I dont know what I’m going to do.” He said to know one. Mostly cause he thought he was alone, totally missing the priest who sat at the other end of the bench.

The priest looked around a moment and then looks to the very well dress man “um perhaps i could aid sir. Im a very good listener. ” he told the man with a smile.

The man blinked staring at the priest, he wonder how long this man was sitting there. He then kept his very calculated composure, debating if he should talk to this priest. “Im just dealing with something. I do not wish to burden you with trivial problems.”

The priest stared for a while and just smiled softly “please, clearly you are bothered by something and i promise it isn’t a burden to me. Actually i like listening to people talk, i like helping people. It makes my life feel worth while. ” stared at the male with his pale blue eyes.

The man would sigh a little “well im a very powerful man and pretty lonely at that. Everyone either fears me or tries to gain my approval. Though i guess what really bothers me is my f….friend.” he wasn’t sure why he was talking to this priest, but he felt as if he could.

The priest just smiled softly as he listen, reaching to push back a black lock of hair. “Sometimes status can have is down moments. Though surely not everyone is this way with you, but i can imagine its rather lonely.” He look down a little a moment and then looks back to the man “see you have a friend. What about your friend bothers you? Are they ok?”

The male looks at his hands that were clasp together “we have been friends a very long time and i feel as though he walks a path i can’t follow. He has strayed far and i dont know what to do.”

The priest gave a slow nod “it is always hard and sad to watch those we care for stray so far. However, just because one strays far from their path, doesn’t mean they are truly lost or that they are gone. They could simply need a friend to be there and help them back.”he reach to touch the man shoulder softly “perhaps all you need to do is just be there. “

The male reach to touch the priest hand listening. “Thank you….just its hard to talk to people. Thank you for listening and the advice. I think you have help me in this confusion. Although you are new around here are you not? Your accent is not from here.”

The priest tried to not blush at the touch to his hand. He kept his soft smile “oh um yes i am. I just arrived, um actually I’ll be staying in this city. So if you ever need a ear, im here. Im taking over the church, so please feel free to come by. I am always willing to be of help. Even if you just need to vent.”

The male listen and realized that the church was the target of his fledgling “has anyone told you what happens to the priest around here? Especially that church, that its curst.”

The priest chuckles softly “oh i heard the rumors, fear not im not easy to scare off. This is where i am suppose to be. So dont worry, I’ll be here and you can always come to me.”

The man just stared at the priest, a boyish looking fellow, he was small. The man pat his hand “im not sure where you got such confidence in your faith. However i would very much like to talk with you again. I need to go though, please be safe father…”

The priest still smiled “Voltruist, my name is father Voltruist. I do hope i see you again, perhaps we can be friends.”

The man gave a very faint smile “perhaps. I must be off then father Voltruist.” He get up from the bench holding the priest hand a little longer, before walking away.

The priest couldn’t stop the red in his cheeks at the handsome male holding his hand. He then saw the male leave and gave a soft sigh “what a beautiful man….sometimes being a priest sucks.” He then look to his pocket watch “ahh im late.” Gathering up everything and papers as he got up and rushed off.

The male would move to the trash cans to the nosferatu as he says “I need you to deliver a message to lord grey asap. I need to to hurry and catch my fledgling and being him to me. This is the top priority, i am willing him to use his powers. You got it? Its VERY important.”

Billamy pops up and gave a nod “right on it, can count on me.” He quickly scurry off to deliver the message.
