Alex breathed hard as the pain ended, shaking his head. Leaning forward, he opened his mouth to speak but instead let out a low scream, accidentally digging his fingernails into Silvio's arm as he felt a much greater pain spread through his back and shoulders. Once that pain had passed, he panted and fell back limply against the other man. "I'm dying.. I'm dying.. I must be dying, aren't I..?" He moaned out, "I'm definitely dying.." He shook his head at his own words, convinced now that they surely must be true.

“You aren’t dying.” Silvio promised, biting back a hiss as he gently reached out to pry Alex’s fingers off his arm, “The worst of it should have passed now; just rest for a moment.” The vampire closed his eyes as he tried to figure out how he was going to manage this. His own room was in a different hotel then Alex’s; one that was suitable for visiting vampires, still, it had not been made was newborns in mind.

Alex simply shook his head at the promise that he wasn't, in fact, dying. At the current moment, nothing the other man.. the other vampire might say would convince his muddled mind otherwise as he limply laid against him. With a few incoherent mumblings, it took only a few more moments before the brunette unwillingly passed out completely against Silvio.

(( What's the difference between brunet/brunette? ))

Silvio sighed in relief when Alex passed out and carefully eased the newborn vampire into his arms, holding him to his chest as he flew back to the rented car. Getting Alex from the car and into the hotel was a trial, but lucky one that didn’t last long and soon enough the newborn was laying out on the bed as Silvio drained several bags of blood to replace what he’d lost when he turned Alex.

He hated bagged blood, it was cold and had a terrible aftertaste, but he couldn’t risk leaving Alex to hunt or even order a donor.

(Brunet = male; brunette = female. Same with blond/blonde; I blame the French :p)

(( Oof, I've never heard that. I suppose I shall use brunet instead then. x3 Oh, you think a hotel would be loud for a newborn, considering thin walls and such? ))

Alex didn't stir at all as he was moved from place to place, sleeping against the man until he was placed into the hotel's bedding. Upon being laid down, the newborn curled up into a ball but aside from that he was completely still for a few hours.

When the brunet finally woke up, he let out a deep groan and grabbed the pillow to cover his head. His entire body felt like lead, and he wasn't exactly sure why.. Lifting the pillow up slightly, he peeked out into the unfamiliar hotel room. "..Nick?" He called out, not immediately spotting the other man.

“I’m here,” Silvio replied, appearing at the side of the bed and sitting down. “How are you feeling?” He ran a hand through his childe’s hair as he spoke, reaching out through the bond to see what information he could get. The last few hours had given the vampire time to recover from the turning, and to call for help. Getting a newborn back to the States was going to be next to impossible, but getting him to Italy was possible if difficult.

A private boat was a lot easier to arrange than a private plane and he had family in Rome still.

Alex felt quite relieved when Silvio sat down next to him and spoke, though otherwise he felt oddly.. nervous, maybe a bit frightened. "I feel worse than waking up after blackout drinking.." He mumbled in reply, moving his hands to rub at his face before easily flipping the pillow off of his head. Looking around a bit confusedly, he looked to the vampire beside him. "Umm, where are we? and.." He paused for a few seconds while pushing himself into a sitting position, "Did I.. fall off a cliff?" He asked with a bit of nervousness mixed with disbelief in his voice.

Silvio sent a push of calm across the bond when he sensed Alex’s nervousness. “We’re in my hotel room.” He answered, looking over his new childe as Alex sat up. He’d check the newly turned vampire for wounds while he slept and didn’t find any, but he still watched for any sign that Alex was in pain. “You did, because you wanted to take a picture.”

Silvio’s tone was mild and yet somehow managed to express just how ridiculous he felt that risk had been.

Alex looked a bit surprised when he felt a rush of calm.. that wasn't his. He shook his head a bit at the feeling, biting his lip when Silvio explained that he did actually fall. Looking away sheepishly, he toyed with his hands for a moment, "Yeah, I guess when you put it that way it was kinda ridiculous.." He replied. Looking up suddenly, he frowned at the man. "How am I not dead? Were you.. were you serious about the vampire thing?" He asked, the disbelief clear on his face. "Because vampires don't exist." He tacked on, shooting his employee another confused look.

“I was being very serious, piccolo.” Silvio said, a Florentine accent slipping into his voice as he spoke. As Nick, he’d adopted an ‘operator’ accent, an American accent so vague it could have come from anywhere in the States, however when he spoke to other vampires he tended to lapse back into his true accent. It was the only token of his mortal life he had left.

“Are you hungry?” He asked, knowing that he would be; the turn took a lot of energy. Calmly, the Italian vampire bite into his wrist before holding it out and waiting for instinct to takeover Alex. This was the quickest way to prove things.
