"I'm not. I don't feel it, I mean."
He was rather amused at this game. He wondered how long it would take for Adam to become frustrated with him. Patience of a saint?

naw man he thinks you're a Secret Test of Character, possibly with divine origins. WELL KIND OF
"But your hands..."
Setting down his books on the dry tile, he moved to clasp the stranger's hands in his own. It was rather presumptuously personal, but the cool flesh under his hand seemed electrified, alive with something else.

Daniel's gaze fell to their clasped hands, then slowly traveled back up to the boy's face.
"Hmm? What about them?"
Being someone who always ignored personal space, the contact didn't bother him.

"I-- I don't mean to seem coarsely familiar." A tinge of color rose in his cheeks. "But are you ill?"

"No harm done." He said, with a slight smile.
"And no, I'm not. I rarely if ever get sick."

He rubbed at the man's fingers, as if trying to transfer some of his own middling heat by the touch.
"Would you like to walk as we talk, then? The arcade is quite beautiful after dark."

"Sounds all right by me."
Whatever vague idea Daniel may have had about this situation had evaporated entirely and he was now simply moving along on impulse.

It was a rather scenic place. Adam ran his hands along the pillars affectionately as they passed, and fell silent.

"I suppose a book or two has been written about this. Or at least a few passages."

"Have you ever seen anything so beautiful..." His voice was softer than ever.

Yes.
"There's places all over the world like this. One need only seek them out."

The boy sighed as if his heart might break.
"Not in all of creation..."

"You'd be surprised." He said lowly.
((I am shocked, you know. Daniel's being almost...civil.))

"Even in the rain, it was most conducive to prayer."
He smiled more freely than was prudent with this man, but Daniel was rather a puzzle. Strange and foreign but at his core radiating goodness.
(( It's a Daniel miracle! If you want me to direct Adam anywhere else, let me know, but he'll be perfectly content to let night fall and lose track of time out there. ))

((Hee! Well, we can't have night fall with Daniel out, now can we? Also, hahaha, radiating goodness. I'm surprised Adam can't sense that crazy vampire aura.))
The boy was so incredibly innocent, and on top of that pious, that Daniel was having a hard time trying not to give in to his baser reactions. It'd be too easy, and really, he'd been doing enough of that that it was more fun to string people along. Still, it wasn't easy.
"What if I said you could simply leave here and go wherever you wanted to? Where would you go?"
