Welcome to Gaia! ::

Justin jumped back a bit from her outburst. He settled as Alaina explained. Phew, that's good. I was honestly looking forward to it. "It's no big deal with the Nobles. I'm actually good with talking to them on a short notice, so it's fine." He heard he question. "Well..." he spoke. "It's a bit of a challenge, but I know a shadow route I can take." He looked at her again. "It's a bit of a stretch, but maybe...we could go to...the...human kingdom." His last words came out in a loud whisper, loud enough for Alaina to hear but no one else. She knows the land more than I do, and I've always wanted to check it out. Plus, she could be homesick by now. She and her sisters have been here for about a week.

Justin's mind clouded in thought. I never really planned it out that much. He pondered the situation. A thought came to his head that made him grin. "Wait here," he told her. He ran through the shadow to his sanctuary. Quickly, he slid over to the wardrobe and opened it. Soon he found what he was looking for: a black and gold hooded cloak. He pulled it out. He then got out his black and gold top hat with his black trench coat with gold lining. He also took out black gloves. He put on his outfit and closed the wardrobe. He grabbed the cloak and ran through the shadows back to his room. He spotted Alaina and smiled. "This should be able to hide your identity," he told her as he handed over the cloak. "I have myself hidden too. If anybody asks about us, let me handle it. I have had enough blood, so I shouldn't be able to have any cravings. Just don't worry, I'll make sure nothing goes wrong. And when you want to come back, just tell me and we'll leave." He smiled at her with confidence.

Justin's smile grew as Alaina became more excited. "Why, thank you! Although I already knew that!" he teased with a laugh. But when the princess hugged her though, he grew quiet. Under his top hat, his face was burning! She got off and Justin stood with his face a bit red. "N-n-no n-need to a-apologize," he stuttered. He saw her face was also red and he sighed. At least I'm not the only one. She put on his cloak and sounded really excited. "Well, aren't you anxious!" he said. He lifted her up in his arms again. "This is just becoming a habit, isn't it? Although, I like thinking of this as the beautiful princess being rescued by her brave knight," he teased with a smile. He leaned in towards her and looked deeply into her sparkling eyes. "So, when can I kiss the lovely damsel?" he chuckled.

Justin smiled a bit. "Whatever you say." Let's surprise her a bit. He went in and kissed her on the lips. Truthfully, he wanted to do this. I wanted to be able to do this before she rejects me. I honestly think that she's special enough for this. He parted after a few moments. He smirked at her. "Was that good or do I have to try again?" he teased. He laughed a bit from what he just did. However, he also worried for what her response would be.

Justin laughed at Alaina's comments. "Careful what you wish for," he told her with his face right in front of hers. "You just might get it." He kissed the princess again. He was actually enjoying it too. I never would've imagined myself doing this, especially with this girl. These are even my first kisses too. I don't know exactly...but I can't help feeling like this towards her. She's the only one outside my family who's accepted me, who doesn't think I'm a monster. Thank you, Alaina.

Justin gazed at her and smiled. He turned his head and looked outside. "Now, the knight must return the princess to her true kingdom! Onward!" he laughed. He made sure his top hat was secure and nodded. "Attention passengers, we are taking a nonstop trip to the human kingdom. Please hold on tight, but we'll be there before you know it!" He chuckled. With that, Justin walked into the shadow, Alaina in his hands. The disguised pair started their adventure to the society of humans.

Justin felt Alaina's head on his chest and arms around his neck. Either he was used to it by now, or he was glad she was doing that. His face wasn't heating and he just smiled. Through the shadow he went, trying to exit and enter through the right ones. Justin could travel very far in one jump, but it's not even half as far as the human kingdom! Still, he was patient and didn't disturb his partner for two reasons: he didn't want her disturbed and he was afraid that he might get off track and become lost. After about a couple of minutes, Justin stepped through the eighth shadow he has been in and looked to his surroundings. In front of them were buildings of white and it all looked stunning. Justin eyes were on the shining buildings and he gazed in wonder at the sights and atmosphere of it all. He went out of his trance and turned to Alaina. "My lady, welcome to the human kingdom," he whispered to her. His eyes went to the kingdom. This is gonna be fun!

Justin gently put down Alaina to stand upright in front of the kingdom. So this is what her land is like. He heard the princess's thanks and he smiled. "It's my pleasure!" he responded. The sky was clear and the sun shone with all its might. The vampire prince had to adjust his top hat to shade his eyes. I'm used to the cloudy weather back home. Bright lights can really irritate me sometimes. I'll just learn to deal with it. He gazed upon the pure buildings of the humans. Justin suddenly felt a bit nervous. This is my first time here. I don't really know if there are different customs for humans and vampires. What if I do something that is usual for the vampires but totally freaky to humans? The prince was slightly trembling and he wouldn't move from where he was. He just stared at the buildings, mind lost in thought.
