He had been in a huge brawl between a number of demons and he was clad in bloodied shorts. All of his other clothes he simply incinerated and eased himself into one of the steaming pools of water. Sighing, he enjoyed the heat of the water as it consumed every slash, cut, and gash along his legs, arms, back, and chest.

She'd decided to take a walk after meeting up with Nailana at the Inn and meeting her daughter. She entered the springs, wondering if this time she'd be met with the peace she needed to badly. Everything seemed to be getting more complicated by the minute, and she was finding it difficult to deal with it. She wandered over towards the springs. She did not look to see if others were there, she just went on her way, stopping just short of the water, to take off some of her clothes, obliviousto the fact that there was someone else there.

He sensed her, but kept quiet. She probably wanted to be alone, and he would respect that unless she came to him. Closing his eyes, he simply relaxed further, actually drinking some of the hot water, the warmth of it soothing his throat.

She threw her shirt and her pants off, and got into the water, feeling a bit splash on her. She started for the other end when she finally noticed someone. She couldnt make out who it was, but they felt familiar. She kept swimming until the figure became clearer then she just stopped. It was Van. "Hey there."

"Hello Mae. Came to relax huh?" He kept his eyes closed, thinking maybe if he didn't look at her, it would be easier to talk with her after what had happened. Licking his dry lips, he ran his hands along the water and then scratched his chin.

"Try, being the operative word. I doubt I'll get any relaxation." She swam closer to him and noticed some reddish spots in the water. She came very close to him, inspecting it, and assumed something had happened to him. "Are you alright? You seem to be bleeding."

"Yes, I am." He gave her a nod and opened his eyes to inspect himself, losing a bit more blood than he would have liked to, but he shrugged. "I'm alright though. You've seen me worse than this sweetheart." He gave her a smile and looked at her body through the water, and shifted slightly, so he was sitting on a protruding rock under the water.

"Yeah, I have but I still dont like seeing you in this shape, Van" She gave a sigh and came infront of him, touching his face gently, making sure no gashes were there. "Let me tend to them." Just touching his face made her hands shake. She wouldnt lie and say she didnt miss him, because she had.

"Alright." He lifted himself out of the pool and sat down on the grass, waiting for her. "How have you been Mae? Everything ok? I see you're not injured. That's good."

She nodded and then swam back to where she had her clothes and got out of the pool, picking them up as she wandered along the edge to where he was. She bent down and started to rip at her shirt, making pieces of cloth. She started to work on his arm first, tending to them as gently as she could, while nodding. "No injuries, except for the blow to my emotions." She kept looking at the wounds, moving to his chest. "I cant say I'm any better, shit just keeps piling up, and I found out some things that do not make me a very happy Vampiress." She looked up at him. "How about you?"

"Just the same old Vandos you've known Mae. And that really sucks for you." He watched her quietly and then cleared his throat. "You aren't happy? With what? Myself? Hannibal? Or something entirely different?"

She smiled slightly, and let her hands travel to his legs, wrapping pieces of cloth around them, noting that her shirt had now become a shirt to wear when she wanted to show off her body. She giggled slightly, then looked at him again. "No, I'm not happy, I wont lie, I'm still a little angry at you. Not as much as before, but still there, eventhough I've missed you more than I was angry." She smiled. "But it deals with my dad. I swear, it feels like there will always be something when it comes to him."

"That's because he's Hannibal King Mae. He was notorious as a vampire, and then he simply vanished from gossiping creatures and emerged again as a Slayer. Personally, I think he's still got that notoriety in him. I've known of him a long time. There was someone before your mother you know." He ran his finger along her arm and looked to his body and at the pieces of cloth wrapped around the major wounds he had.

"I must really be ignorant because I didnt know he was so well known. She finished with the final wound, and just focused all of her attention to him. "Sounds like he was something, but it's nothing to do with him being a Slayer." She sighed slightly, catching interest in what he said next. "Someone else? What do you mean?" She kept her attention to him. "Someone told Nai that he was going to be involved in a fight where only one of the two fighters would make it out alive."

"He'll make it out alive. Your father is too stubborn. And yes, a woman, I think her name was Niara." He thought a second and nodded. "Yeah, Niara was her name. They killed a lot of innocent people. I bet your father never told you that. They were very much into one another. Last I heard was she died. She was said to have enslaved a little boy, who did everything for her, and she simply vanished, and same with the boy. He's probably old by now though. I'd say about two hundred something. So chances are he's still around."
