Within Demacia lies a spectacular mansion with ivorine walls and marble floors. This magnificient mansion has remained inhabited for a long time, and one may wonder why. The reason is that this particular mansion is located within a graveyard. In a world where powerful malevolent entities raise the dead on a daily basis, nobody likes to sleep surrounded by the corpses of their enemies.
This, however, did not seem to bother Cornelius Constantine when he bought the property (for a rather cheap price, I may add). Living within a graveyard had its advantages - peace and quiet, always having an empty place for a midnight stroll, and most importantly - no noisy neighbours.
On this particular night, Cornelius was about to embark on one of his late-night promenades. He opened the mansion's door and stepped outside, taking a deep breath. The cooling breeze, the moon's eerie gloom over his pale skin, the smell of death and decay - it all felt fantastic.
With a sadistic grin, he licked his fangs. It was time to hunt.
Elissa strolled up the stone streets of the Demacian roads, having finished her business at the Night Hunters. She needed a stroll. When she came across the mansion of Constantine, a man standing at the door step. With her katana at her side, she eye'd him... "Well now, it's a little late to be taking a stroll, don't ya think?" She called out to him, folding her arms as she did so, her cloak blowing slightly in the breeze

The sound of heels against the stone road. Cornelius immediately turned his head towards the noise and snapped his fingers, which caused his appearance to change drastically - his skin changed from light grey to caucasian, his hair became blond, his eyes green, and his fangs disappeared.
The figure was getting closer. She seemed to be a young woman wielding a sword, dressed in black leather. Cornelius brought his hands to his neck to adjust his red neckerchief as she addressed him.
On the contrary, m'lady. Slowly, he descended the marble stairs. Nocturnal promenades happen to be quite enjoyable, especially when accompanied by such a charming damsel as yourself. Cornelius extended his gloved hand towards Elissa. Cornelius, last of the Constantine. At your service.
Elissa raised an eyebrow, but took his hand anyways. "Charmed, I'm sure.." She replied. He seemed like an ordinary guy to her... but he had this... feel about him. It put her a little on edge, however, she couldn't place her finger on it.
"Well, Mr. Cornelius..." Elissa began. "Name's Elissa, a pleasure to meet you.. I suppose."

Cornelius bowed and softly kissed Elissa's hand. His eyes opened widely, but he hoped the woman had not taken notice of that. Her skin felt... strange. Much unlike any other woman he had felt before. It seemed very similar to his own.
Cornelius regained his composture and started walking at a slow pace along the stone road, still holding her hand.
Do tell me, Lady Elissa. What matters bring you to my doorstep?
"Just coming back from finishing up some business..." Elissa said, watching him bend down to kiss his hand. "Kinda a creepy dude.." Elissa thought to herself. Raising an eyebrow behind her glasses, she eye'd the man in front of her.
"And what are you doing this late at night... people usually don't wait this late to take a casual stroll."

Well, I just so happen to enjoy a good walk under the moonlight.
Cornelius locked his eyes with Elissa's. And what business is that, if you don't mind me asking? His beautiful, dark green eyes seemed to interrogate the woman themselves, demanding an answer.
"Just... had a conversation with someone..." Elissa replied, scanning the man with her eyes. "What does it matter to you, anyways?" She then asked, raising an eyebrow behind her glasses.

Cornelius smirked. She could withstand his charming gaze... this would be a very interesting night.
It matters nothing to me, m'lady. I just happen to be very curious... He leaned his head forward and raised an eyebrow. ... Especially around armed ladies that show up at my doorstep for no particular reason.
"A lady has to protect herself, doesn't she?" Elissa replied, folding her arms once more. "If ya can't tell, I wasn't raised around here... so I was curious, to say the least." She then added, running her eyes up and down his form from behind her glasses. "Hey, a girl could lost out here... mind if I stay at your place for a bit?" She didn't know exactly what he was... but she was going to find out.

Lost? This is a graveyard, dear. He chuckled while pointing forward. All you have to do is follow the road to leave this place.
He stopped walking and turned to her, bringing his right hand to his chin. Mph. I don't think letting a total stranger into my house is a particularly good idea. Especially when this stranger is armed and I'm completely unaware of her intentions. Cornelius turned his head to the right and sighed. If only you weren't so charming...
He folded his arms over his chest and turned his gaze back towards Elissa, smirking. Tell me exactly why you're here, and I'll not only let you stay - I'll uncork my finest wine, just for you.
The vampire smirked and strut up to him, pressing her body up against his. "Oh come now, there's no need to be that way." She cooed, idly drawing on his shoulder with a finger. "You look like a guy who could use some company."

Cornelius placed his right hand on Elissa's shoulder. While I would love to enjoy your company tonight, I hope you understand that I must take... precautions. As the last of my bloodline, more than one would love to see me dead.
Pulling closer, he whispered into her left ear. If you shared your secrets with me, I would have no reason not to trust you, however...
Elissa simply huffed a little and drew back a bit, folding her arms. "How bout I just relinquish my weapon, would ya feel better then?" She simply asked, her eyes still scanning the man, still trying to figure out what he was all about...

She would part away from her weapon so eagerly? Perhaps this woman did not need that sword to be a threat at all. One thing was certain - she was hell bent on entering his manor. She either wanted to spend the night with him, or snoop around the mansion. Cornelius wished she sought after the former, but knew it would hardly be the case. Regardless, he decided to play along.
With a light bounce, he clapped once. Very well then! The "noble" extended his gloved hand towards her once again. Do you wish to enter my humble manor now, or would you rather have us continue our little midnight stroll?
