The cloaked figure watched from the corner of the room farthest from the door. If one looked, they would see a pair of glowing blue eyes, though, a single blink, and they wouldn't know that they saw anything. There was nothing at his table, but a plate of steak, that was gone within a matter of minutes. He drank what looked like wine in a glass, though, from his height, one would guess that he wasn't any older than a teenager, seventeen at the most. He looked up, as if waiting for someone... He was alone, and anyone that came close was waved away by him. He seemed to be content being alone, nut wanting to speak to someone.

THe door swung open and Pain walked in. His hood was pulled up because he couldn't be sure that none of the Twilighters were there. Glancing around he tried to locate the person he was looking for. Dreaven had said that he would look like he didn't belong. Everyone looked like they should be there. Pain turned ot leave figuring that Dreaven had been mistaken.
Just as he was about to leave He noticed the lone figure in the corner. Nodding he head over towards him. Without waiting to be acknowledged Pain pulled a chair over and sat down. He decided to let the boy make the first move.

From under the cowl of the robe, tow yellow, glowing eyes starred at the man. "....Who are you?" he asked, a hint of a feline accent. "What is it you want?" he added, clearly wishing to be alone. He waited as an order of what seemed to be a violet liquid in a mug, and took a drink from it. He seemed to be unphazed, hough, as he continued to stare at the stranger who approached him. He wouldn't believe everything the man said..... He wasn't an idiot.

Pain nodded searching for the right things to say. "Both fair questions. I am Zakk" Pain suppressed a shudder, he hated using his real name but he didn't think his code name wasn't the most welcoming. "I have a proposition for you."

The eyes stayed transfixed upon him, and soon, the voice spoke again. "What is your proposition, Zakk? I have no desire to stay still for too long..." The sleeve fell back, revealing a fur-covered hand, as it reached for the mug, picking it up, and taking another drink of the odd-looking drink. It was clear he wasn't very playful at the moment... It would be bad for whoever made a wise crack.

Pain glanced at the hand but it was clear that it had not fazed him. He looked the boy straight in the eyes and let his eyes become their natural colors. The pupils became red. "I have heard you have certain talents, and we are in need of your help."

"We?" he asked, taking another drink. "Look, if you want to get me mixed up in that war." He leaned back in his chair. "I swear, the next person who tries to recruit me..." He soon finished his drink, and set the mug down. "If that's all, please, leave me. I have no interest in fighting for any cause, all I want is to be left alone." He looked around the room. If that squirrel showed up again, he may not walk away...

Pain knew now was the time to act. "We don't wish to fight either, we are more interested in protection." He closed his eyes, pretending to compose himself. "Our group and another local group have been persecuted by a gang pretending to be a school." He took a deep breath, "Many of our friends have been hurt and killed by those people."

"....What faction are you of?" he asked, tapping his clawwed fingers on the table. "Either way, I don't want a part of it... I just want ot be left alone... Now I'll tell you like I told the squirrel.. I want nothing to do with it." He moved his hand into the hood on his head, and massaged his scalp, as though he had a head ache.

"I am a Moonlighter, and my higher up has sent me." Pain searched his brain for something to say. "He also said that you would be free to use our research facilities. We have tried to stay on top of the latest technology and knowledge even though we are constanly on our guard." Pain glanced around, fearing that one of the Twilighters would show up.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you would go to hell for lying?" came a voice from behind Pain. Vaughn was sitting higher up on the seat, looking down at the pair. "Why must you twist the truth like that, Pain? You speak so lowly of the Academy when it's the moonlighters who are the antagonists."
The yellow-eyed being just watced the two.

Pain scowled but then realized how he could work this to his advantage. "Can't you just leave me alone? I haven't done anything to you." His eyes widened in fake fear, and he 'struggled ' to keep his calm. "Just leave me alone, you've already hurt me enough."

Vaughn laughed, and took a seat next to Pani. "After taking my arm out of socket leaving me to rot in that cell? I've never done a thing to hurt you, and here you are lying to try and foll somebody into joining your legion of vampires? Did Dreaven put you up to this?" Vaughn sighed. "Which reminds me.. I really have to thank him for what he did to me..."
The glowing eyes watched the two, though, they were now foccused on Vaughn. This one seemed.... odd. He probed the minds of the two people, to see who was lying. Vaughn was like an open book, and could be easily accessed. However, the other person, Zakk, or Pain, as this new arrival had called him, was rather hard to read. By the way it looked, Zakk was hiding the most.. he wouldn't alow the Lion to read his thoughts.

Pain felt Lion probing his mind. HE allowed a few images of a outcast teenager escape along with his conversation he had had with Avingon. "Legion of vampires? We may have vampires in our group but so do you. All of your staff is composed of them." Pain didn't like the way this was going. But he didn't want to call Dreaven till the last possible moment.

Vaughn sighed. "Yes, but you are almost exclusively vampires. We take people in who seek peace and shelter." The elementalist looked back over at the lion, who merely shrugged.
The lion sighed. "look, you're both wasting time and air, I've no intetion of joining either of you, I'll just get mixed up in a war." he replied. It irked him that so many people wanted him to fight a stupid world that could have been avoided of people were understanding and accepting.
