:C:h:a:p:t:e:r: One... (Open)

[deepwallow]

Dunkel chunked deeply but shrugged. "Very well. Lets see now..." He mused, leaning back in his chair and thinking. "I suppose we may begin with getting in here, the Erudites. Before that, I mostly just spent my time studying. I had a fascination for the human body, and still do. It's.... Fascinating how fragile and complex it is. But anyhow, when I had joine the Erudites after taking my initiation, then I began to study even more, having access to better equipment and more books."

"I don't care much for the company of others, so if you ask about the things I have done for the Erudites, I hardly think anyone will remember my existence. However, beig forgotten has only given me more time to myself to study even more. In my researching I made my home one of the old warehouses so that I may develope equipment a and run my experiments. While most may find that peculiar, I find it very spacious and effective. Other than that I have not done much up until this point other than studying and working." He finished with a shrug. "Was that what you wanted to know?"

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled, listening intently, it sounded fascinating enough to her. "Can i see your warehouse?" She asked with a smile, she wondered what these 'experiments' were. She stood up and ran her fingers through her hair "id really like to see it if your willing" she added.

[deepwallow]

Dunkel raised an eyebrow at her, regarding her with curiousity. "I will, but I must ask: why so curious?"

[Етеяиiту]

(Well, why so serious?)

She chuckled and smiled "because it interests me, and so do you,i want to know about what your doing" she said. Then thinking about it she smiled and stretched.

[deepwallow]

Because I was born from these shadows, molded by them))

Dunkel was silent for a bit, debating, before he chuckled and stood. "Very well then. Lets go." He said, getting up and grabbing a few books.

--------(one enthusiastic walk later)--------

"Here we are." He said, looking up at the large, once abandoned warehouse. "It's nothing like your mansion, but its home."

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled and pushed the doors open to look inside, she liked this out-law like feeling that came with warehouses. She looked around "i think its better" she said.

[deepwallow]

The inside was packed with makeshift walls, kind of like an office, making a near separation like an entrance hall, though small. He led her trough and the areas were split into cubicle like rooms. A metal balcony was overhead as if to oversee the cubicles. Strange medical equipment was in most of them. "This is my home. More of a lab really." He admitted

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled as she looked around, examining his lab like home "its nice, but where do you sleep?" She asked looking for a bed or something.

[deepwallow]

"Ah, over here." He said, leading her to the other end of the warehouse and to a door, openig it. Inside was a bed, a desk, and several bookcases filled with books. Papers and such were scattered on the desk. "It's messy, but I don't spend much time cleaning up my room." He admitted with a shrug. "I spend most of the day out working on my equipment

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled "mmm and what donyou experiment exactly?" She asked having seen blood but not the source.

[deepwallow]

Dunkel glanced at her, his uncanny silver eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts, but that sinister quality was in them more than ever now, almost with some mystery and mischievousness. "I most experiential to see how living things work so I can help fix them better. That is all." He replied vaguely with a faint smirk

[Етеяиiту]

(Ohh experiments experiments)

"But what do you mean by that, like do you use animals?" She asked tilting her head curiously.

[deepwallow]

He only shrugged. "I do use animals, true. And I believe that was the last question. We're even." He chuckled, his reply still vague and his expression amused

[Етеяиiту]

she chuckled softly and smiled, walking closer to him "i guess we're even is all you can say, how cute" she mumbled half to herself.

[deepwallow]

Dunkel raised an eyebrow at her, even more amused. "Cute?" He asked teasingly, chuckling

[Етеяиiту]

She blushed "oh i didnt mean to say that out loud" she giggled, embarrassed. She stepped back and put a hand over her full pink lips out of embarrassment.

[deepwallow]

He laughed deep and heartily, shaking his head. "No need to apologize. You've done nothing wrong." He said, truly amused at this strange girl

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled "well it was nice seeing all of this, i like your set up here" she said

[deepwallow]

He smiled. "Thanks. It's not as grand as your home, but it suits my needs." He said with a shrug. "Come, I'll escort you home then, if you'd like."

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled "yes but i still find it wonderful" she said.
