*She frowned, trying to understand this.*
"But... what will you do now?" *she asked.* "You cannot give everything away. You must live."

"And I am alive yet. Do you believe that because my horse and my food is gone and I have no money that I have nothing left to give?" *He smiled gently.* "I can find work."

*Esmeralda smiled.*
"You are a good man," *she said.* "You will find work, I am sure of it. May your life be blessed as you have blessed the lives of others."

"It already is, mademoiselle," *he said, his smile constant.*

*His smiled relaxed her slightly.*
"It never hurts to have more good wishes."

"Of course not."
*He stuck his hands into the deep pockets of his heavy woolen coat under a cloak of similar material.*
"It is too bitterly cold for you to be out--you'd best get yourself inside by a fire, girl."
((Frack. I gotta run out to the walk-in clinic. My name's coming up soon. Back later.))

*Esmeralda did not have a fire to get inside to, but she smiled bravely.*
"Yes, monsieur," *she nodded.* "It is cold. Come, Djali," *she said to the goat. They would keep each other warm, as usual. She curtsied again to the strange man.* "Good night, sir."

"Dobrú noc," *he said kindly, nodding as he turned and disappeared into the grey fog of falling snow.*

**NEW NIGHT**
*The air was crisp, almost crackling, when he stepped outside this night. It threatened to burn his skin the way only cold could do. Winter had come to Paris.
He shuffled his feet as he walked along the street, kicking up snow and sending it floating through the air. Snow was still a strange thing to him. He'd gotten so used to the environment of Florida that a white winter had become an alien concept to him. Green, for the holidays. Green with Christmas lights. Thoughts of Miami buzzed around his head as he casually approached a homeless girl that was huddling against a building for warmth.
She didn't notice him, because he did not want her to see him. With the swift, silent predatory grace of his race, he moved in and had her in the nearby alleyway, in his arms, hidden from view. Not a sound had been able to escape from the girl.
Before she could scream, she was subdued, her mind under his power. As her free will drained away, she had one last coherent thought: he has no body heat. He is as cold as the night...
Her blood was almost excruciatingly hot, and sweet, on his lips. A young innocent that had unknowingly blundered across a beast. She shuddered in his arms, from both the pain and the weird pleasure that his teeth in her neck brought. He, too, shuddered--from the pure pleasure of the catch, the taste of blood, the kill.
Feeling her life ebb away until she was the cold one, and he the warm.*

*Arielle had seen the girl whisked away out of the corner of her eye and followed them. Now she backed away from the alleyway quickly, sending up puffs of snow as she went.*

*He let go of the now dead girl, her body falling carelessly to the alley floor as he spun to face the newcomer. A stray drop of blood had run down his chin*
"My sweet, you have made a horrible mistake tonight."

*She moved away even faster, her dark eyes large.* Wh- who are you?

*He was upon her in seconds, catching her in a bruising embrace.*
"I think it is not who, but what I am that should concern you."
*He bared his fangs for a brief moment, allowing her to see*

*She recoiled instantly, her dark eyes flashing with disgust.*

*Daniel raised an eyebrow at her*
"What? No screaming, words, nothing? I'm disappointed. I must be slipping."
