Pavi watched with slight concern as Mina turned to look out the window. Pausing for a moment, he slowly walked over to the windows, shutting the curtains with a quick snap. Turning back with a smile, he gestured a hand towards the freshly made bed.
"Would-a you like to stay here for the night, then?" Pavi asked. Holding his hands out quickly, he reassured, "I-a promise, no funny business will-a be involved."

"Yes..that would be wonderful." Mina said quietly standing by his side unsure if she should hug him or if that would give him the wrong idea. She wasn't sure how she felt towards him....grateful maybe or releaved that he wasn't going to hurt her or force her into sex. "Could...I use your bathroom as well?" She asked tentively she had only had a rain barrel in which to wash herself in cold often times dirty water...and out in the open to.

"Of-a course," Pavi said, a little surprised by her quiet tone. He motioned in the direction of the bathroom, putting a hand on her shoulder almost kindly. He wasn't sure why he was being so unusually nice, especially to this near stranger who'd been abusing him just minutes before...but he hated that strange, distant look in her eyes whenever the subject of the circus was brought up. It gave him chills, and this was the only way he knew how to get rid of it.

"Thank you." Mina sighed gratefully. She returned his affection by squeezing his hand gently, and giving him a smile. Mina felt better about this arangement for now, if only because it meant she wouldn't be used against her will. She walked to the bathroom and got in the tub throwing off her clothes quickly and turning on the water making the water as warm as possible. She let out an almost orgasmic moan as the warm water hit her, infact she did almost her skin still senstive from their activities.

Pavi turned back towards the bed as Mina headed for the bathroom, slipping off his shoes again and trading his pants for a pair of boxers. Just as he was slipping off his jacket, the youngest Largo suddenly heard a very loud moan escape from the bathroom, and his eyes widened in surprise. He gave a small smirk, shaking his head as he climbed back onto the bed.
Thinking back to what Mina had said earlier, and her hesitation to touch him after he'd replaced his mask, Pavi slowly reached up to touch the dead face on top of his own. He hooked a finger under the edge cautiously, hesitating a little as he slowly began to pull it off again, then turned it over in his lap to stare at it.
Beautiful. He still thought so. Beautiful as he would never be again...beautiful as she had been. Pavi closed his eyes for a moment, thoughts of his mother playing behind his eyelids as he fingered the pale mask in his hands. He could barely remember what she looked like...but he knew she had been the most beautiful woman in the world. And he knew from the time he was a child that he wanted to be just as beautiful as her...beautiful enough to hold her memory and keep her face alive, even after her passing. That was why he'd searched for so long to find the perfect face, the one that looked most like his mother's. This one was close, but there was something off about it...
...just like every other mask he seemed to find.

Mina closed her eyes trying to pretend that she was in her own London apartment after a hard day at work. She soaped herself up using a loafa, making sure to get her back, her wings were troublesome though, but she was able to get them clean enough. She moved onto her hair enjoying the scents of the shampoo and soap together, God how she missed that! When she felt clean she stayed under the water for awhile, just to enjoy the feeling of the water on her skin.
Mina got out of the shower and for the first time she saw her self naked with her new alterations. She was shocked how wild she looked, but not un-attractive. Her eyes seemed larger and brighter, her teeth and fangs whiter but brought out the red of her lips, and her the wings suited her, like Pavi said, they seemed to almost extenuate her soft curves with their sharp dark contrast. She dried off slowly with a soft towle then blow dried her hair and wings with a hair drier. Next running a brush through her hair once more happy that she at looked much better clean. She let out a sigh and opened the door to join Pavi who was sitting looking at his mask.

Pavi gave a small start at the opening of the door, quickly hiding the mask beneath the folds of the blankets. He swallowed, keeping his back turned from Mina as he tried to revert himself back to normal. One or two tears had escaped him during his contemplation, which he quickly wiped away.
"Oh, h-how was-a your bath?" He asked, keeping his back turned as he tried to add a cheerful sound to his voice.

"It was like sex after a very long dry spell, only in liquid form." Mina sighed a slight blush on her face. She stretched her wings feeling better about them now that she knew how well they looked on her. She walked over to a chair and sat down laying down lengthwise allowing the bottom part of the pajama's to slide down her legs almost exposing herself to Pavi. She noted that Pavi didn't have his mask on...and wondered if that was her doing. "How many masks do you have?" She asked not opening her eyes.

Pavi remained silent, barely noticing how much skin was showing on the woman. While it was a rather pleasant sight...his mind was rather preoccupied with other things at the moment. Thinking over the question, he at last shrugged, keeping his head down as he spoke.
"That-a depends...I usually keep a consistent number, and replace-a them when some are-a damaged or old...or start to rot. So...around twenty at-a any given time, I-a suppose." And none of them looked right. None of them were beautiful enough. None looked like his mother.

Mina nodded, she opened her eyes in slits to look at Pavi he seemed quite now....unusualy so. Like he was contemplating something. She bit her lip wondering if he was uncomfortable with his face exposed like that and felt the same way he did when her throat was exposed. "I meant it when I said I liked your real face. I can tell what you're thinking easier, and it feels better when I'm touching your flesh. But if you want to wear it you can."

Pavi looked up at Mina suddenly, and, catching the concerned look in her eyes, mentally chastised himself for letting any hint of weakness show in front of this woman. Putting on a smile, he shook his head, picking the mask up and putting it on the bedside table.
"No...no, it's fine," he lied, giving a small laugh. "I am Paviche Largo, amore. If-a the lady requests to see-a my face, then-a I shall not deny her wish!" Pavi smirked then, knowing that if he wanted to keep up his appearances, he'd better not let anything about his self-consciousness show again. After all, he was Pavi Largo. He knew he was irresistible, with or without a beautiful face.

"Well thank you for that." Mina said almost adding 'because your masks are creepy' but decided against that. She moved off the chair and walked around the room a bit enjoying having enough room to move around. Being in that cage most of the day made her feel claustrophobic at times.
"I could take off my scarf, that way we'll be even." She turned and took off the scarf slowly a bit hesitantly until she was exposed. She felt a bit of an excitement though much like being naked infront of a new person. Mina felt embrassed, vulnerable, and a bit excited and aroused.

Pavi watched as the vampiress removed her scarf, noting her bite marks once more with a raised eyebrow. Still smirking at her, he slowly moved from his position on the bed, stepping closer towards her to get a better look. Cautiously, he placed a hand along the side of her neck, fingertips just inches away from the wounds.
"They're-a sort of...attractive, in a way," he mused, meeting her uncertain gaze with his own intrigued one. "Raw. Violent. Sexy. I like-a them."

Mina winced a little as he came closer and looked at them, even though Quartermain and Hyde both had not flinched at them she still felt self concious about them. Because they were a reminder of the night Dracula attacked her and her failed marriage. She could still see Jonathan's disgusted look on his face each time he even looked at her throat.
When his hands went to her throat she felt a little bit of a shiver whether in fear or anticipation she couldn't say. One the one hand she would often feel a jolt of desire if they were touched....also because much to her shame it reminded her of the night that Dracula had attacked her and part of her wondered if she had enjoyed it despite her fear and prehapse Jonathan was right and she had caused the attack to happen in some way. "N-No they're not." Mina breathed. "I can't even look at them...and when I went out without my scarf I got looks then my husband stopped touching me because of them, he couldn't even look at me even with the scarf."

Pavi frowned, feeling her shiver as he touched her throat. At the mention of her husband again, he scowled. It was obviously a very touchy subject for her, and he himself didn't like the thought of this horrid man who'd hated his wife for something she could not have helped.
"Are you-a sure he wasn't just gay?" Pavi smirked, trying to make light of the situation. Softening just a little, he moved he hand to cup her chin and turn her face to look up at him. "You are beautiful, Mina. I've seen many beautiful women in-a my time...any you are one of-a the prettiest." Leaning forward, he kissed the side of her neck, opposite from the side of her scars.
