Putting her hand out to the feline, she watched it patiently as it came nearer to her, sniffing loudly, drawing in her scent before it cautiously licked the palm of her hand. As its super-rough tongue grazed her palm, she squinted her eyes closed from the feel. It tickled something fierce.
When she opened her eyes, it was looking at her expectantly so she turned her hand over and cautiously reached up to stroke its head, between its ears. The fur on the beast was satiny soft and even in the low light from the back deck, it shined like nothing she'd seen before.
"Do you have a name, lovely?"

Smiles, watching. "Onyx." he moves closer, to begin petting the cat's side lovlingly.

She couldn't help smiling sardonically.
"Why am I not really surprised?"
Continuing to pet the large cat, she moved closer to the vampire so she could stroke down the animal's spine.
"Where did you get it? Her? Him?"

Grins. "That is also complicated and best left un-explained if you don't mind. And her." he continued petting her firmly.

Frowning in thought, she shrugged one shoulder as she pet the large cat.
"Fair enough. How many of them do you have? I dare say you just have her."
She continued to pet Onyx, the massive cat beginning to purr with a deep reverberating rumble.

Smiles. "There is one other, male of course. With the two of them an intruder would not stand a chance. I think it may be overkill actually.."

Grinning, she shrugged again.
"Kind of hard to produce baby kitties without one of each, though, isn't it?"
Winking, she couldn't help herself.

Grins, leading her into a walk again, the feline deciding to follow along, purring loudly.

Following him along, she continued to take in all the sights, sounds, and fragrances of the gardens. He had so many lovely night-blooming plants, which didn't really come as a surprise to her, he being a vampire and all.

Smiles, walking along with her, reaching for her hand to hold, enjoying the night, and the garden, even though it was his, it was one of his favorite places, at night or in the day.

Smiling softly, she entwined her fingers with his, enjoying the quiet time together with him. She wasn't used to simply spending quiet time. In her line of work, she was usually out on the town with her clients. Or in the bedroom... But rarely did she get to just spend quality time. The silence didn't even bother her.

Smiles at her, enjoying the walk. "Such a lovely evening..."

Nodding, she smiled up at him.
"It really is. Couldn't ask for a nicer night for a moonlit stroll in an exotic garden."

Continues to smile. "After we have our walk, you should spend the night with me here, simply sleeping would be more than fine, if that is what you wanted. Just to have warm company in the bed next to me.."

Stopping and turning to face him, she placed an open hand on his cheek.
"That's a very sweet offer. We'll see how the rest of the night goes. That's the best I can offer right now."

Smiles faintly, enjoying her touch, nodding.
