After the vampyre's daring deeds were over they disappeared in the mysterious smog they had come from.
Pinetree sat next to me very tense. Obviously the presence of vampyres didn't agree with him very comfortably. I let my hand trail down his arm and tuck itself in between the tight grip of his fist. The action seemed to have not any chance at soothing my Pinetree's tension.
Tom, on my other side, had his little rabbit all wrapped up in his arms and sharing the plate of jumbo shrimp Marco had gathered. I was almost envious. Almost.

Its right, Pinetree, they are gone. I sent the thought with some hopes to calm him down. It worked this time. I felt the tension melt from my body and he leaned ever closer into me.

The band struck up a familiar and favorite tune causing me to stand up, bringing my Pinetree with me and dragging him on to the empty space in front of the stage.
As the first line was sung ever so smoothly, I released Pinetree's wrist and bowed politely.
When the devil was too busy~
He returned the gesture in kind with a partial curtsy to his actions, showing off the gorgeous attire the girls put him in.
And death's a bit too much~

I offered my right hand and he took hold with his own.
They call me by name, you see, for my special touch.
I curled him into my embrace.
To the gentleman I'm misfortune.
I nipped at his exposed neck.
To the lady I'm surprise.
I crossed my left hand to his right hip and discreetly kicked out his feet from under him, holding on to him as he fell back.
I grinned down at his shocked glare as I pulled him up.

Call me by any name~ Anyway it's all the same...

The lyrics were lost as I led Pinetree through the dance. Round and around, the gown he wore floated and flitted turning him into a ghostly entity. Pinetree responded beautifully with every step I made. I found myself in a state of surprise to see he looked as if he was actually having a good time.

Then it all slowed down.
It's gets so lonely...being evil~
Our fingers laced together, I brought our hands up as our faces got closer.
But when I do see a smile... Even for a little while. And no one loves you when you're evil~
We were so close, our noses skimmed each other's. But of course who would I be if I let him get his hopes too high.

I'm lying through my teeth, your tears are all the company I need!

Our bodies parted quickly, I twirled him around and yanked him close again, dipping him low and baring my teeth at his throat.
