The light from what few flashlights there were failed to touch the vampire as he slipped in through the entrance, soundless. He noticed Aigis right away, standing as she was in the open without a flashlight of her own.
Aidou didn’t really have a penchant for paranoia, but when one knew there was a crusading soul out there that recoiled at the very concept of a vampire, the response was naturally caution. Every vampire child grew up learning the dangers of those who made hunting vampires their life, and although Aigis was no hunter, Landel’s Institute was a special place. He had been made weaker, and more vulnerable to others’ assaults as a consequence.
He didn’t fear what Aigis could do, but he knew what she might try to do, and that was enough to encourage wariness. But at the same time, a part of him hoped she’d cross him somehow, just so he’d have an excuse to… play less nicely.
He didn’t signal her, but stayed secured in the darkness, moving around her right side. If she could pick up on his presence more quickly now without having to see him, now was the time to find out.
