WHAT || The Knights investigate a string of vampire attacks in France
WHERE ||Paris, France
WHEN || April 11th, 2015 [backdated].
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

One vampire attack is cause for worry enough, but when bodies are found with telltale puncture wounds and heavy loss of blood become a recurring nightmare across any city, alarm bells are raised.  Such is the case recently in Paris, where Wynn suspects that either a careless clan has moved in, or some lone vamps are stirring up trouble.  With the locations of the bodies marked out in the eight block radius where the deaths have been occurring, the team arrives in the late evening, staring at the rows of apartment blocks, small businesses, and pubs that comprise this section of town.

[She can sense the movement, but doesn't expect to feel his lips press so tenderly against her skin. Where there had been a slight shudder to wash over her in response to a kiss to her hand, Helen lets out a quick gasp once he moves to her neck. But she doesn't retreat, doesn't speak a word against his actions. Her heart thuds a quick, steady beat- one she's acutely aware of, as she's certain he is as well.]

I think I could manage that. [She responds, her voice breathy, head swimming from the sensation of his closeness. Each second here causes her to lose a bit more of her sensibilities. Drawing in a shaking breath, she lifts a hand to his shoulder, gently pressing him back, greeting him with an almost apologetic smile as she puts distance between them. She's trying to gather her wits now. (will 22)]

Until then. [Before she falters once more, she shifts to get out of bed, standing and taking a few steps back. Her hand reaches for her neck- the exposed skin where his lips just touched moments before.]

Thank you again, for saving my life. [She just felt like it needed to be said once more before she made her exit. With just a small nod, she moves for the door.]
