Well hello there! (Isabel)

Varian had decided he had enough of his wife for the night, he wanted to find some sort of entertainment elsewhere, something that was a lot better then his wife going on and on about how she wanted them to have date night. Didn't she know that he didn't want to have date night?! He only put up with her because he technically had to and he didn't really want to be alone because she wasn't terrible in bed. Even though he definitely had a lot better then her.

As Varian walked into the club called Daughters of Satan. Hell he had heard a lot about this place from one of his coven members. Well he had started a small little thing, nothing that big. He spotted a girl who looked to work there and if she didn't then he'd be shocked. Watching her dance was erotic and exhilarating for sure. Oh the things he would and could do to that gorgeous body of hers. Just seeing her like that made him excited. In that specific area yes. He walked over to the hostess and requested a private dance of the girl who looked absolutely stunning that evening. He got escorted into a room as he waited for the gorgeous human being to make her arrival.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel was still pretty new to dancing there at the club. She had started out just waitressing until she was able to learn the ropes but had quickly been able to show that she had what it took to be one of the dancers there. She had just watched the other girls while she had been waitressing and been able to take from them what she should do. She was still quite the innocent type when it came down to it, but she knew how to hide that when she was working. It was all about confidence. It was all about acting like you knew that you were the most attractive person in the room. And Isabel might not always feel that way but she was gaining confidence a little bit more with every night she spent dancing and bringing home more in tips than she ever thought she would make in a single night.

What was surprising was when she was called aside after her dance and told that someone had hired her for a private dance. She had only done one other private dance before and she still wasn't sure how it was supposed to work. But she figured it was more or less what she would do normally but focusing her attention on one person. She could handle that. One set of eyes on her was much easier to deal with than many, right? So, she didn't skip a beat as she walked back into the private room and gave the man a big smile. She knew that he probably wasn't here to talk, men like him didn't come here to talk to women like her. No, he wanted a show and she was happy to give it to him. He was paying, after all. And she always believed in giving someone what they paid for.

@Varian Vikonnol

Varian sat there as he waited for the woman he had hired to show up. His feet were kicked up as he sat back. When he seen the young girl enter the room and he couldn't help but smirk at her. She looked young that much was obvious, she couldn't be any older then at least twenty and she was even more stunning up close then she was on the stage.

He could smell she was human and not a vampire, he was very fascinated with her looks and her spunk. But did she belong here? "Hello, I'm Varian" he greeted her.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel kept her chin up, her shoulders back, she made sure that she acted confident, even if this was pretty new to her. She couldn't let the man who had paid for a private dance know that. As she walked into the room, it was clear to her that he was perfectly at ease in the room. Did he come here often and bring women back to this room for private shows? She wouldn't doubt it. A lot of wealthy men did just that. They picked a woman for the night and then the next time they came back, they chose another.

Isabel smiled at the greeting as she moved across the room closer to him so that she could gently trail her fingers down his arm. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Varian. I'm Isa." She didn't go by her full name here. None of the girls really did. But at least she hadn't made up a stage name completely.

@Varian Vikonnol

When she spoke, he could tell that she was definitely young just by the sound of it all. Oh what that mouth could do to him one day, but he knew that he couldn't fully throw himself at the young girl just yet. Probably a virgin, if he smelled correctly.

"A pleasure Isa" he could tell that she went by that since she worked at a place like this, but one day he'd get that full name one day. "Want to sit on my lap love?" He patted his lap for her. It was her decision really.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel couldn’t even begin to think of what this man might be thinking as she approached him. Often she did wonder what was on the minds of the men that came here. Were they here just to have a good time or were they here as an escape? It was hard to tell but Isa was glad that they were there because if not then she wouldn’t be paying her tuition. She smiled as he said it was a pleasure for him as well.

He then patted his lap and suggested that she have a seat there. She gave him what she hoped was her most seductive smile as she lowered herself to sit on his lap, trying to take pointers from the other girls she had seen who worked in the club on how to keep his attention. ”Anything you want, love.” she said, brushing her hair back from her face as she spoke to him.

@Varian Vikonnol

He could tell that she was not used to this, well sitting on his lap, hell he wouldn't bite unless she asked him too because why not? So when she sat on his lap he pulled her closer and held a hold on her as he looked at the gorgeous young girl.

"Yes, you can tell me a little about you Isa, are you even old enough to drink? Considering you're in a club like this" he asked.

@Isabel Burke

Isa was trying to act like this was something she did all the time, like this wasn’t one of the first times she had been booked into one of the private rooms. But she wasn’t sure how much she was actually succeeding. She was pretty sure that he was like her boss, a vampire. So he would be able to practically smell her nervousness but she tried to hide it the best she could. She smiled at him as he pulled her closer, wiggling just that much closer to him.

She laughed a bit at his question, of course she was old enough to drink! ”Depends where you go, I guess. I’m legal to drink here.” Then again, the drinking age in the UK was only 18, so she probably wouldn’t be working at a place like this if she wasn’t. ”Hmm, what do you want to know?” What type of things did someone like him want to know about someone like her? She hadn’t the first idea.

Varian loved the sound of her giggle, he ran his fingers through her hair as he listened to her. Her voice was angelic and he would love to taint her precious body. So small and fragile, he would love to hear the sounds come out of her if she ever let him inside her woman hood.

"Everything, I paid good money but I don't want a dance.. at least not yet but I do want to know the woman behind the dance. So, Isa. Tell me a little bit about yourself" he asked.

@Isabel Burke

Isa bit at her bottom lip as he spoke. Did he really want to know about her? She didn’t really expect any of the men here to take an actual interest in her as a person. She was definitely surprised. But he did remind her that he was paying good money for time with her and she had no reason not to tell him about herself. ”Well, I work here at nights to pay my college tuition. Lilith took a chance on me since I didn’t have any experience in this type of place but I’d never be able to do what I’ve always dreamed of without her giving me the opportunity.” was she talking too much? She didn’t know. She was grasping for straws, not really used to talking about herself but not wanting to disappoint Varian. It seemed important to her to please him for some reason. Even if it was just by telling him about herself.

So she was young. Obviously she said she was in college, he just wondered exactly how old she was, definitely young. "So how old are you exactly?" He asked curiously. It couldn't hurt to ask, plus he knew he'd be older then her because he was a vampire.

"So what was your dream?" he asked curiously.

@Isabel Burke

When he asked how old she was, she had no problem telling him. It wasn't like it usually bothered any of the guys here that she had just barely graduated from Hogwarts. "I'm 19." She told him, not really thinking that it would matter all that much. She laid her head on his shoulder for a moment, her thin fingers messing with the collar of his shirt until he asked his next question. "I want to be a cursebreaker, to travel the world and deal with the curses that on one else would dare try." She said it with a spark of excitement in her eyes. She had never traveled before, her parents had been the type to stay close to home and she had been too well guarded to be able to go anywhere with friends. "I want adventure." She finished with a smile.

@Varian Vikonnol

When it came to her age, at least she wasn't below the age of eighteen, he would have felt absolutely disgusted about that. Honestly her being around the same age as her children didn't really bother him that much but at least she was not his kid. Would suck since he found her attractive. "Well since I know your age you should know mine. I'm 247" he winked at her.

When she mentioned what she wanted to be he had to admit he didn't see that one coming. Definitely could be a lot worse then that. "So you work here for a living but you want to be something else? That makes sense. Do your family agree with your dreams?" Varian asked. "Since I asked you some questions, feel free to ask me as well" Varian mentioned.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel didn't even seem shocked when he told her his age. She just smiled and responded playfully. "Well, you age very well, Varian." She would have never guessed his age, then again, she had known that he was something other than human so that wasn't surprising to her. Before she had come here, it might have been. Sure, she knew that vampires and such existed but she hadn't known that they were as common as they really are. Not until she started working here, at least.

The girl couldn't help but to let her smile fade just a bit when he asked what her parents thought of her dream. It was still a bit of a sore subject for her, even if she tried to tell herself that she shouldn't care what they thought. They were still her family and she still wished that they would love her for who she was and not just pretend she didn't exist because she didn't agree to do whatever they wanted. "That's right, but I don't mind working here. I was a little hesitant at first but everyone is great." She said, telling the honest truth. "My parents don't agree with my choices, I doubt they even consider themselves my parents at this point." It hurt even saying it but she shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't even care. "Hmmm, let's see, what do you do for a living?" It seemed like a safe enough question, right?

@Varian Vikonnol

Varian couldn't help but playfully roll his eyes at the gorgeous girl on his lap, hell he was immortal he didn't age, at least not anymore. "Why thank you, but to me I consider it frozen in time" he quite liked being a vampire, now he didn't like being hunted down but he dealt with it.

He could see her tense a bit when he mentioned her parents. Obviously they were a sore subject and he doesn't blame her. Hell he killed his parents because of his blood lust but also he knew deep down he resented them so much. They put him in a loveless marriage and it was torture. "Well if they disowned you they don't know what they're missing out on. So what if you dance for a living at this place, in the end you will have a good career" he encouraged. He never did like to bring woman down, even his wife.

When she asked a common question he cleared his throat a bit. "I am a Professor at Hogwarts. Also the head of Ravenclaw" he responded.

@Isabel Burke

Isa laughed when he playfully rolled his eyes at her. At least he was able to joke around, she liked that. She liked someone that she could have a good time with. And she did have to say that she did find him attractive in an almost old world sort of way. "I guess that is one way to put it." She said with a smile.

He encouraged her and her smile returned, blocking out the slight frown that talking about her parents had brought her. "I ended up here because they disowned me. My parents are very... Old school? They wanted to marry me off but I didn't want that. I had the choice to either agree to the marriage or leave." She explained. She was probably saying a little too much, but he seemed interested.

"I was in Ravenclaw when I was at Hogwarts!" She said, seeing that they had something in common there. Of course, he must be a newer professor because she hadn't seen him when she had been going there.

@Varian Vikonnol

When she began to explain that her parents disowned her he groaned when she said why they had. Of course! An arrange marriage why not?! That was pathetic, hell he was stuck in one and absolutely was miserable and the fact that his wife Daisy wanted something more with him was a joke at times. Couldn't she see he was not happy.

"Oh I know all about those sweetheart, I was born in the 1700s and when I was three I was put into an arranged marriage, back then you couldn't get out of those types of arrangements, the penalty was death and this face doesn't belong in the ground. So I married my wife Daisy but of course my creator thought it would be funny to turn her as well, so I am stuck with her but I keep her around until I can find someone actually worth being married to me. I don't like being forced into things" hell when he was turned he made that choice, thought it was his escape.

When she mentioned she was in Ravenclaw he chuckled. "Yes this is my first year, I just moved here not that long ago but I have been here before with being immortal and all" he made the decision to bring his family here and so far he liked it.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel listened to his story with rapt attention as he told her that he knew of her struggle. Of course, he had it much worse because he had to be stuck in it. And not just for normal human years but long passed that. If he was stuck in this arrangement since he was three years old that meant he was stuck in it for over 240 years. That was crazy to her when she was nowhere near that old at this point in her life. She probably never would be. She was only human, after all. ”That must be awful, being stuck with someone like that. I don’t like being forced into anything either.” she responded with a sigh. ”This is probably going to sound silly given my job and such... but if I ever get married I want it to be because my husband is crazy about me and I about him.” probably not what you should be talking about with a man who was paying for your time but he was easy to talk to. She liked him so far.

She nodded then. ”Hogwarts is a great place to go to school. I loved my time there.” maybe it was just because she had a place away from her family and their demands of her, but it had been her favorite place to be.

@Varian Vikonnol

Varian could agree with her there, whenever he decided to ACUTALLY put a ring on someone's finger it was going to be because he loved them and wanted them, but it couldn't be when he was supposed to just love them. "Believe me it is awful, I've had people ask why I still stay with her but no one understands that when you're immortal.. you do get lonely at times, so she stays around for company until I can actually meet someone I love" he responded.

When she mentioned Hogwarts he could see why she did. "So far its a good school, I quite like it" he agreed.

@Isabel Burke

Isabel could understand why he would want to keep the woman around for the time being. She was a constant in his life and sometimes people just wanted what was familiar. There wasn't anything wrong with that, at least not in Isa's mind. She knew what it was like to lose everything she had ever known and she would never blame anyone for wanting to cling to something from their past life. Even if it wasn't something they were particularly fond of. It was just human nature, she thought. "I get it. No one wants to be alone." She knew that all too well. She could only imagine how hard it would be to be alone for hundreds of years. She had gotten plenty lonely just over the last year.

Though, Hogwarts did bring back good memories. "I'm sure it's very different teaching there than it was being a student, but either way, it is a nice place to be." Or at least, it had been in her experience.

@Varian Vikonnol

Varian hated that she was so pretty and hearing the word alone come out of her mouth was like a stab in the heart. He understood why she said it though, he had said it and she was fully understanding his reason for why his wife was still there. "It does suck being alone, but it sucks even more knowing that I have to keep her around for it. Now even though I do have children, it's still not the same you know? I am a man who has needs and my wife tries" he shrugged a bit.

"Well if you say it's a good school and that you enjoyed it I am sure that it is. So far it's not terrible" he responded.

@Isabel Burke

Isa understood what he meant. She could assume that having children would provide him with the company, with someone to talk to if they were old enough for that. But they didn't do much for fulfilling his needs as a man. She completely understood his need to keep his wife around just to warm his bed for him. Though, she had to admit that she uncharacteristically felt herself becoming a little jealous of the woman. It didn't make sense. He made it clear that he didn't care for her and it wasn't like Isa herself knew Varian well enough to care about him. This was all about one thing for him, or so she thought. "But she just doesn't cut it." Isa found herself saying as she wiggled just a little bit closer to him as she said it. She knew nothing about actually 'cutting it' either, but that was what she was being paid for, right? Acting like she knew what she was doing? She just nodded at his statement about the school.

@Varian Vikonnol

He nodded his head, he didn't like saying that since he always wanted a marriage that meant something and not a marriage that was forced upon him. He wanted to love his wife but frankly he didn't. He hated her in fact. It was sad to say but he did. "Nope, not at all and she is slowly learning that" he responded.

@Isabel Burke

Isa nodded her head when he said that his wife was slowly learning. If they had been together so long then she had to be very slow on the uptake if she was just now beginning to learn. But Isabel didn't say as much. She wasn't the type of girl who would put down other people. She had put down enough growing up any time she wouldn't live up to expectations. "At least she is catching on?" Isa didn't know what else to say. She had been raised to only speak when spoken to, but she was trying to break out of that mold. She wasn't going to be the demure little trophy wife that her parents wanted her to be, but it was a slow process for her to break those old habits as well.

@Varian Vikonnol

He nodded when it came to his wife catching on, the one thing he was hoping for after all these years even if at times he thought she was just giving him what he wanted. He ran his fingers up and down the legs for the girl sitting on his lap. She was a sexy little thing that was for sure. "Same, but she needs to find a happiness outside our marriage like I am.. I just want that love I've seen through the years, you know?" he said to her.
