Asura finally calmed himself enough to shift back into his normal form. He kept his gaze fixed on Blake, eyes narrowed.

"Ah, Red, good to see you," Blake called cheerfully. "Be a dear and explain to your friends that I am not a threat, will you?"

Still squinting through the sun, Red meandered over to the man before slapping him across the face, then making her way to stand behind Pluto and Asura. "I'm too tired for this bullshit" she mumbled, still rubbing her eyes from less sleep and the super bright freaking sun.

Pluto snorted with laugher, trying and failing to keep a straight face

Blake blinked, stepping backward. "Oh. Well. Never mind, then." He touched his face where she'd slapped him, seeming unsure how to react. Then he laughed. "That will teach me to try and befriend an irritable vampire!" Abruptly he straightened, and his tone turned brisk. "Well, enough chatter. Will you have tea with me and hear me out? Or will I acquire a new walking stick out of this visit?" He flourished Asura's staff.

"Make it coffee and I might say yes," Pluto said, recovering a little from laughing

"We'll talk to you," Mike said. "But we're not agreeing to anything. Give Asura his staff, please."
"Very well," Blake said, and did so politely. "Thank-you for your tolerance."

Pluto glared at him, still holding her machete. Something told her that this guy wasn't as friendly as he acted, but she had been wrong before

"It really is a shame that young Zoe's still locked up in that cramped thing," Blake remarked. "I imagine she wants to get to know the father who claims to care for her so deeply."
Mike turned away and started walking toward his office. "That's Asura's business," he said coldly. "Come on, we'll talk inside."
