----------------------- [/b]  -----------------------[/b] "I think its great you guys are such good friends." Mari said sincerely as she looked at the two of them, "Being immortal without friends would just seem lonely to me." she admitted as she shifted her weight a bit from side to side to keep from getting a leg cramp. "Everyone needs that friend to keep them in line I think. Its great that you have each others backs like that."
There were times when the two of them seemed absorbed in each other and Mari, not wanting to be nosey took that time to glance about. She had half braced herself to part ways after the concert and never see the pair again. "I am just happy they were performing. It doesn't matter to me whether its their old or new stuff. Live performances are awesome." she said to keep on the neutral side of the argument. This era had the luxury of getting music quicker than any previous one and part of her was just glad that there was music. She did keep up with trends. She had a walkman just like any other red blooded teenager but she had also had a phonograph, radio and black and white television in their day.
For her part, Mari seemed to blend into the crowd. She'd memorized the latest dances and moved happily till the last set was closing. The crowds seemed to get loud and she stepped closer to Stefan and Lexy due to the noise and the crowd being a bit more rowdy than she liked. It helped her to have something she could orient to but she was careful not to impose. They didn't know her and she wanted their memories of her to be good ones that made them think back and smile. She never wanted to have anyone be sad about her. It would hurt her heart.
Notes: No worries! Loving this thread! <3 -----------------------[/b][/center] |

- - - - - - - - - - -  - - - - - - - - - - - She smiled a sad smile when Stefan mentioned her being stronger because she drank human blood. While this was true, it wasn’t the whole reason and it wasn’t something that she would ever tease him about. “I tried the animal blood diet Stef when I first got you on it. I lasted about a whole three weeks.” She told him with a frown. “Besides, even if we both drank animal blood I’m still twice your age.” She stated before wagging her finger at him with a foe stern look on her face. “However you’re never supposed to mention a ladies age so the fact that I’m an old lady is something you have to take to your grave.” She stated before breaking out into a soft laugh.
She chuckled though it was more of a sad chuckle than anything else. “I doubt it.” She stated before turning her attention back to the stage. She couldn’t see herself settling down only because she never stood still long enough to do so. She wanted to find someone to love, truly she did, however the vampire men that she had met over the years made her want to kick their asses (she usually ended up doing just that) and she really didn’t want to fall for a human and subject them to this life style. She had known more than few vampires over the years who had fallen for a human and later turned them, only to have their significant other hate them because they had made them into a monster. She wouldn’t do it unless it was necessary or she was asked first. She hated those who turned people without their permission and could easily understand why most of them turned on their creator.
She nodded her head as Stefan whispered a thanks in her ear as the two women walked away, looking quite sad about their potential arm candy being taken. “Any time.” She told him and pressed a kiss against his neck before watching the band until the set had finished up.
She assumed by the fact that neither Stefan nor Marina answered her question that she hadn’t been heard over the influx of voices that had started yelling for another set to be played. Once they had settled down she turned to face both Stefan and Marina. “So Marina, where are you from originally? Yes I am nosy.” She stated with a laugh, wanting to know more about this vampire who she could easily see both she and Stefan being long time friends with. After all, who didn’t want more friends?

"Yeah, Lexi means a lot to me. Don't tell her I said that." Stefan replied to Marina with a smile and pretending like Lexi couldn't hear him say it. Though Stefan knew that Lexi probably heard it, Stefan hoped Lexi would pretend otherwise. "Yep that is Lexi for you, keeping me in like for the better part of a century, or at least trying to." Stefan said teasing Lexi a little bit. Lexi did her best with Stefan, but it is really hard considering how bad his blood lust is.
Stefan wondered why Lexi didn't just give up on him a long time ago. It proved just how much of a friend Lexi really was to Stefan. "Do you have someone like Lexi?" Stefan asked Marina as she really didn't say if she did or not. Stefan looked at Lexi with a smile. "Yeah, but you don't look a day over 23." Stefan said to her with a wink. Stefan knew Lexi was older then him, and its probably why she always got her way around him because she was older and stronger, but it didn't matter, not really.
"And don't worry, your Secret is safe with me Lexi." Stefan said with a grin. He looked over at Marina and wondered if he should flirt with her and try to get her to come back to his hotel room. He knew Damon tried so he knew that she was probably not into the whole Salvatore charm thing. He shrugged, she didn't seem interested in that anyways, at least she didn't act like she was and Stefan didn't want Marina to think that he flirted with anything like his brother did.
Stefan frowned at Lexi when she said she doubted it. "Hey if you weren't my best friend." Stefan said with a grin. Though Stefan really couldn't see him and Lexi being in a real relationship, he preferred just being her best friend and spending time with her. "I know there is someone out there for you." Stefan added trying to cheer her up. Lexi really didn't try to find love, at least not like Stefan did, but Stefan thought that she wanted love more then she was letting on.
"Yeah, Marina. I'd like to know to." Stefan encouraged her to answer Lexi's question. Stefan looked at Lexi with a soft smile. Stefan was thankful that the concert was over in fact as now they can just talk. Not that he didn't enjoy the concert, he did, he just wanted to hang with Lexi and Marina right now and get to know her better. After all, it wasn't every day that you ran into a vampire that wasn't a total psychopath. Stefan could tell Marina was a good person.

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] The brunette looked between the two and blushed. She felt silly not having heard Lexi with all that had gone on. "I came from Edinburgh, Scotland." she said shyly, letting her brogue surface a bit since the crowd was starting to dissipate a bit. "I don't have anyone like Lexi." she said to Stefan with a shrug, "My brother helped me but he died of old age eventually. I've been on my own since then. I tend to keep to myself." she admitted as she shrugged and glanced down at her shoes a moment.
"I tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time so I try to keep my head down. I was on the wrong side of the Spanish Inquisition in the 1840's. My father knew a vampire and had him turn me when I got polio. I don't really remember much. I just woke up healed...and then I attacked the maid..." she said this with a blush, feeling ashamed. "It was 1702 so we left and after my parents told the convent I died we moved to a place out in the woods till I learned how to control my feeding. Being a nun helped a lot. You learn a lot about self discipline."
"But anyway that was a long time ago. I've been on my own ever since. I ran into Damon in 1888 but I just parted ways with him after one dance." she said with a gentle shrug. She wasn't going to say anything more because she figured anyone who knew Damon knew what he was like.
"Anyway, mostly I just travel now. See the world, take some classes when the mood strikes me. Its a lot easier to travel unescorted now so I have a lot more freedom to explore." she looked at the two of them, "What about you two?" she asked as she looked at them and smiled.
Notes: Would love that. <3

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Lexi turned away from Marina and Stefan, focusing on the stage instead of the two behind her. She wouldn’t admit it to anyone but she often got bothered when Stefan hit on someone. It wasn’t often but there was just something about it that irked her. Sure she wanted him to be happy but she also didn’t really want to witness him get it on so to speak. More than a couple of her friends had called her out on it, saying that she was in love with him, and she didn’t deny it. She just would never do anything about it as she had no interest in ruining their friendship.
A man walked up and offered her a drink and she quickly accepted, walking out onto the dance floor with him without a backwards glance. The man was nice looking, short hair, blue eyes, and had muscles in all the right places. He was a human and yet he seemed strong, something that was rare in her opinion with humans as she was clearly stronger than most. Not that she wouldn’t be stronger than him but still, he was stronger than most it seemed. The music stopped as the bands witched around a few things and during that time she smiled. “I’m Lexi.” She introduced and was graced with a beautiful smile from the so far unknown man. “I’m Lee.” He introduced before starving up a slower dance as the band played a sultry tune.
A few more songs passed before the band announced they were playing their final song. “It was good to meet you.” She told him and was surprised when he handed her a piece of paper. She knew what it was and nodded. “Talk to you later.” She told him before making her way back towards Marina and Lexi. She gave Stefan a sideways hug before releasing him quickly, smiling at Marina. “Alright, I’m going to get out of here. Happy late late birthday Stefan.” She told him with a soft smile, though it didn’t meet her eyes. “It was nice meeting you Marina. Have fun you two.” She told them and before either could say anything she was making her way through the crowd.
Once outside she looked at the piece of paper that she had been given and smiled at the writing inside. I really enjoyed meeting you. Give me a call. Usually she would have thrown it away with a laugh but something told her to keep it…and keep it she did. With a shake of her head she slid the piece of paper into her purse and started making her way towards her room at the inn. The sun would be up in a few hours so she had time, time to walk, and to think.

"I was born in Virginia. I was turned when my then girlfriend, if you can call her that, started cheating on me with Damon. She gave us her blood and me and my brother were both killed by our father cause of our relationship with her." Stefan told her, he really didn't like talking about this sore subject, but she wanted to know. He watched as Lexi moved to get her flirt on with some random guy. A pang of jealousy took over Stefan for a few moments. Yeah they were best friends(with benefits) and that was never gonna change. Neither of them wanted to compromise that to enter a relationship that would possibly fail.
He decided to continue his long and probably boring story. "I traveled a lot and met Lexi sometime shortly after being turned. She became my best friend and helped me through... a rough patch of my life. The next 100 years have been a struggle, I am not gonna lie, but if not for Lexi, I would of been done for a long time ago." Stefan told her truthfully. He watched as Lexi began dancing with the guy. He had seen this from Lexi before and knew that he didn't have much of a shot with his best friend, but even if this mystery guy did, Lexi would not stick around afterwords. She just couldn't do stuff like that.
Stefan turned his attention back to the concert. Stefan was planning on trying to flirt with Marina anyways, but now that Lexi wasn't around, he decided to give it a shot. Stefan probably wasn't as good at it as Damon was, but he was no amature in that department. "You wanna dance?" Stefan asked her. He knew that he probably shouldn't try the straight forward route with Mari like Damon probably did. Mari was clearly not impressed with his brother, which made Stefan only that much happier about the situation. So Stefan was gonna try something a little different. If she says no, well, Stefan would just be alone again.
Stefan began dancing with her, smiling at her. Stefan was a great dancer, he must admit, but he didn't like showing his moves off very much. He always felt a little embarrassed for some reason. Still, Marina seemed to be like a good dancer to him, so he knew she wouldn't judge him to much for his dancing skills. Suddenly the band began playing a slow song and Stefan cleared his throat. "May I have this dance my lady?" Stefan said bowing slightly to her and holding his hand out for her to take. It was how they did it back in Stefan's time and probably even earlier then that.

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] As the younger vampire told her his tail she listened attentively, She did wave to Lexi when she headed off but kept her gaze mostly on Stefan so he knew he had her attention. Once he was done with his story she nodded, "I'm sorry for your loss, but you seem to have overcome a great deal and that is something you should be proud of. You and Lexi are lucky to have each other. I hope I'm as blessed some day." she said with a warm smile.
Healing people emotionally was what she did. She didn't have any magical gift she just knew the right thing to say and when to say it. All those years of being a nun had allowed her to stop and really listen for what people said and didn't say.
"I'd love to dance." she said with a smile that reached her eyes and brightened her face with warmth for the young attractive man in front of her. She began dancing with him. Enjoying the music and the company as she was want to do. She couldn't make his pain go away but she could distract him for a few hours if nothing else. And that made it worth it to her to be here with him. She was grateful she was able to offer comfort to this dark haired young man when he carried so many heartaches like a cloak.
Not that she knew the details, it was in how he carried himself. As if he didn't remember what had happened things would shatter irrevocably. She really didn't know what had happened, and she didn't need to know, She just wanted to be here for him.
The slow dance started and he offered his hand, she curtsied to him, "I'd be delighted, My Lord." she said as she smiled and began slow dancing with him. There was a calmness about him. She liked that. She didn't feel like she had to watch herself as much around him. Maybe it was wrong of her to think such but everything about Stefan was calm. She wasn't sure if it was faked but fake it till you make it baby was a good motto. One she loved to live by. It was how she learned to get through the years and learn new things.
The music swelled around them and she relaxed a bit more. The nice thing about modern clothing is you could breathe. It made it nicer all around for everyone. No more fainting or cut corset strings. No more men having to catch you before you fell and cracked your head on the stairs on your way to the grand ballroom. It was just nice.

Stefan was glad that she accepted his dance proposal. Stefan nodded at Marina. "Yeah, I don't know what she gets out of it though. I guess my friendship if that is enough for her. She is the one that always has to be there for me. She is pretty independent like that." Stefan told Marina truthfully about Lexi. It wasn't like Stefan didn't do anything with Lexi. He was her friend, they talked, partied together, had fun together and so on, but really, what did he do for her that repayed her for all that she has done for him?
Stefan didn't know the answer to that question. The slow song continued as Stefan placed his hands on Marina's waste and danced with her. Stefan looked into her eyes and smiled at her. "You have the greatest eyes I have ever seen." Stefan told her truthfully. He looked over at Lexi who seemed to be leaving, he wondered if she was gonna hook up with that guy or not, but he knew she would probably tell him everything sooner or later, even if he didn't want to hear it really. He would just have to tell her what happened with Marina then, if anything happens at all that is.
Stefan pulled her closer to him encouraging her to rest her head on his shoulder. Finally the song ended and he smiled at her. It seemed like the set was over and the concert as well. Stefan didn't mind really, he only really came for Lexi, and he was happy to have a little fun. "Marina, would you like to go for a walk now that the concert is over?" Stefan asked her with a smile. Stefan didn't want this evening to end just yet, and a walk to get to know each other better seemed like a good idea.

----------------------- [/b] -----------------------[/b] "I think that women who grew up in the 17 century and a little after that learned how to stand up for themselves." she offered softly as she danced with him. Trying to reassure him that it wasn't him but the times they grew up in. She admired a woman that could go after what she wanted. It wasn't how she herself was but that didn't matter as much to her.
She swayed with Stefan and smiled as he placed his hands on her waist. Moving with him as the music swelled around them, "Thank you, yours are gorgeous too. I've only seen that shade of green in emeralds." she murmured. She had a thing for hazel eyes. The fact that they could change made things exciting.
She rested her head on his shoulder. Her perfume was faint. Only there as a hint but strong enough for a vampire to smell it and not gag. She always kept things in mind as she dressed or put her clothes on. She relaxed and let her mind drift a bit with Stefan. He was not as nerve wracking as his brother. She always felt like she had to talk to keep Damon from walking away. It was a relief not to have to do that.
Lifting her head she sighed, "I'd like that, but I've got an early day tomorrow." she said with sad look on her face that her night was ending, "I had a great time meeting you guys. Here's my number. If you and Lexi wanna hang out sometime let me know, okay?" she said as she passed him her number on a sheet of paper. Glancing at her watch she grimaced. "I gotta scoot. See you another time, Stefan?" she asked before turning to head back to her car happily. She'd had a good night and made some friends and that was what it was all about.
Notes: Yes it does. XD
