"It's nice to meet you both....granted not under these circumstances. So why are you here for?"
Sevone wasn't really sure if he wanted to answer that question. Looking at Ranal, he seemed almost ready to pounce. The elder of the two quickly squeezed Ranal's shoulder. It was a clear indication: don't tell them.
Before they knew it, James was out the door, ready to explore the campus. Ranal could read Sully's face like a book: the vampire was somewhat annoyed at the shapeshifter's enthusiasm. They watched as Sully stalked out of the room, following James, putting a little distance between them before Sevone dragged Ranal off the bed out the door as well, slamming it behind him. Ranal swore he heard a resounding crack, but didn't turn around to check.
The silence was awkward. Ranal had been surprised at Sevone's initiation of a question, but now he knew. Since it didn't really bring up much of a conversation, his elder brother would more or less stay quiet for the rest of the time.
Where were they going?
