Jean-Claude raised a brow and nodded in agreement with Alessia. "We were looking for someone on staff that Brann would be most comfortable becoming... well, if not friends, at least someone he could come to. Beyond that, he must realize--" Then again, Brann was likely desperate lately. He grew serious and stood. "Has something happened, Amaria?"

Amaria laughed dryly and without humor. "Not yet." She sighed and backed up so she was against the wall. "I'm not exactly sure how much I can resist...that..., you know," she asked, hoping they understood what she meant, and hoping she didn't come off as a slut. Which she wasn't...or not that she thought.[/color]

Amaria seemed perplexed... "I don't quite think I understand... Is he... I mean, are you...?" She really didn't know what to ask. Frustrated she went off in italian and when she realized no one was understanding her at the speed she was speaking, she breathed in and said "Use your own discretion... it isn't hard."

Amaria almost snorted derisively at that, but she held herself back. Alessia was really one to talk on that, wasn't she? "That's...er. Not what I mean," she took a breath and prepared to re-word herself, "Vampires have a certain...seduction, and I'm not completely sure I'm used to it."[/color]

Jean-Claude's voice got low, power simmering off his skin. "Vampires do have a natural charm, but... seduction is quite a bit different. Is he using it on you?" He hadn't thought that Brann would be capable of it yet, but then again in the general course of his lifetime, the bit of time he'd spent at this school he still wasn't used to dealing with vampires who'd turned as teenagers. And with Brann's condition...
"Shit. When was it, Amaria? Before or after last night?" If it was before Brann and Xander's little incident, Xander could be in more trouble than he thought. After... well, it wasn't something he wanted to think about.
He looked to Alessia, keeping himself open and with a look that said she needed to know just how he felt. It wasn't about discretion... it was about control. In this case, Brann had it.

"Before," she answered, keeping her voice smooth and even. Though she felt horrid as if she was ratting him out or something of that sort. She figured she would get over it soon enough, but wasn't completely sure.[/color]

"I knew he was craving, but I didn't think he'd go that far..." He leaned against his chair, thinking about it. "I want to hope that he can fulfill his cravings with Xander innocently enough, but rather doubt it, and I don't want to be throwing Xander to the wolves..."

Amaria knew what had happened between him and Xander but was still at a loss... "Er- ....what?"[/color]

He looked to Amaria and took one of those deep, unneeded, habitual breaths. "Imagine if you had to spend years unable to touch anyone. To never be held, never be touched. There's a certain desperation there. Not to mention, Brann is otherwise a healthy adolescent male. He's developing needs beyond simple touch. Now we've discovered that Xander doesn't burn when Brann touches him. If he was desperate enough to try and use vampiric seduction on a teacher, whom he knew he couldn't touch, what happens when just touch isn't enough for him?"

"Hm, that could prove to be a problem. How about we just forbid any and all contact of older students with Xander? It would certainly solve most of our problems," Acacia suggested.

Jean-Claude nodded. "And cause some new ones. Though it's easy to tell the older students to stay away from Xander. Who's going to tell Xander he can't chase after Brann like a lost puppy? Brann's become his teddy bear."

Amaria scoffed. "He's hardly a teddy bear...."[/color]

"What are you talking about Amaria? I think he would make a lovely teddy bear. Perfect for cuddling with and hugging," Acacia said, practically squealing. Then she stopped and said, "Well, if you want to be caught on fire and in extreme pain."
Then she became serious. "We could talk to Xander and tell him that Brann is an evil demon that wants to slit his throat while he sleeps. It's not the most ethical approach, but it would work."

Amaria eyed Acacia, doubting her sanity. "It probably would work...."[/color]

"One problem with that. For some reason the boy trusts him. I don't know what Brann did, but he proclaims like no tomorrow that Brann's promised to protect him. Telling him that Brann is evil is more likely to turn him against us."

Amaria looked mildly surprised. "Troublesome? Maybe. But evil? I don't know... He didn't seem too terrible."[/color]

Alessia, still a little confused at the "wolf" comment, was tring to think. "If the boy's fascinated with Brann, and he cannot be hurt by him, then why just let it happens when it does. Worse that can happen Xander gets angry with Brann and runs to us for support." Alessia then turned her head down, "I know he's 11 and innocent, but he'll have been taught an important lesson:" She looked up at Jean Claude with piercing eyes. "Never trust the one you think you care for."[/color]

Jean-Claude crossed his arms at Alessia's insinuation. "If that happens, not only will Xander have been hurt, but Brann may as well. I wouldn't say that he's delicate, but I do think he's willing to protect Xander." He looked at Alessia, speaking quietly. "I'm normally all for letting things happen as they may, but Brann losing control and hurting someone he cares for might put him over the edge. We suspect him of being a murderer now. Would you push him to prove us right? Just because someone is obviously hurt doesn't mean the other person isn't."

Alessia rolled her eyes, "Let Brann get hurt, he'd deserve it, if he did indeed hurt the boy. Getting hurt is a part of life. And if he was willing to protect him than he wouldn't murder him."

"We're not just talking murder of Xander," Jean-Claude said coolly. "I'd re-evaluate things if I were you. Just because we're hurting doesn't mean that they must suffer for it. Not everyone must suffer our fate." He shrugged. "Besides that, Xander's from a good family. I'm sure we'll be in their favor if we protect their youngest and only son." If it'd just been Alessia, he wouldn't have even thought of it. But if Acacia had thought he'd gone soft... well, that was an entirely different matter.
