Arrow was more than glad to be in the warmth and safety of indoors. He turned straight away into a human, stepping up from four legs to two with ease.
As a man he was stained with blood over his mouth, face and neck, smeared indiscriminantly down his flanks. Arrow used his hands to wipe away the excess, running his hands through his blond hair to try and get rid of the dirt.
He knew the Palace could be kind to it's occupants, and a rumage about in a cupboard revealed a copper bath tin. Arrow sighed with delight, and took off the large kettle from the fire. The water he sloshed in was almost boiling, so Arrow mixed this with cold from the table, emptying carafs in until it had cooled enough.
He slid in, and stared openly at Horus who was still in wolf form.
"Not going to change back?" He asked amicably, using his hands to pour water over himself, washing away the dirt and blood, revealing once again his pale skin.

Lilith entered the palace through it's front doors, the over stated grandness of the place always made her grin. The smell of blood seeped from the dining hall and she wondered if maybe Lord Draxus was throwing one of his decadant little parties. But the number of bodies she sensed was too few, besides, Draxus didn't host parties much these days...
She enters the dining hall curiously, a cool wind from the doors she had neglected to close again blowing her long red hair into the room before her, crimson ringlets to announce her arrival...
"Well well, what pretty little puppies" She smirks, eyeing the wolf and then the man soaking himself in the bath... Arilux Catharm... Oh fate was so beautiful at times...

Horus watched arrow transform back and begin to bathe i dont know how to transform back.. he muttered as a woman walked in
imiediatly feeling not at ease with this new presence, horus had to restrain himself from growling, but kept his gaze on her. staring, alert and ready to attack if need be. but trying to look as freindly as possible.

Arrow realised he was probably in a rather prone position. He stood with his back to the woman, and swiftly retrieved the thin items of clothing that Luna had so kindly donated, pulling on trousers first.
He was still concious of his birthmark, but gave the stranger a smile, bowing his head.
"Not quite puppies anymore, my Lady. My name is Arrow," He indicated Horus, "And this is Horus."
He still had the little problem of Horus changing back, but perhaps if they could excuse themselves, then Arrow could help out.

Lilith sneers, she has with her a cane that she holds out in front of her with both hands, her back perfectly poised and straight, indicating that she carried it merely for accessory than real requirement.
"So I see" She answers in response to Arilux's words, or 'Arrow' as he had called himself, looking the fully grown man up and down with a suggestive sort of grin. She moves toward them, an inhuman grace adorning her steps, but also a hard, almost threatening stance dominates her movements.
Lilith stands before them both, long red coat edged in black fur around the cuffs and collar, her form filling it perfectly. "Passing on your tricks, Arrow? He is but a pup, isn't he?" She turns her sharp eyes to Horus with a 'polite' sort of simle...

Arrow's opal eyes and too-beautiful features take in the woman with a kind of inquisitive politeness. She seemed so familiar, but he was unable to identify her.
He replied to Horus tentatively, I think I know her. It will be fine. As for the change, think human, think how it would be to grasp something with your fingers, or walk on two legs.
He smiled at the woman, revealing teeth and it illumined his face a moment. "Tricks? Hardly."
Arrow was still calm and confident, and asked with good humour. "Do you have any tricks to teach, Lady?"

Lilith returns to this Arrow, tilting her head curiously. "Do I..." She responds, a quick and vague wink from her. She knows they are communicating, and she knows they are both Were. Again she stands with the cane out infant of her, elegant hands with their red painted nails firmly gripping the silver ball-handle.
Lilith looks at them both before pulling out a chair and seating herself lightly. "Change, pup, I'm of no threat to you" Her expression changes remarkably, her features seemingly innocent were it not for the faint glimmer of fang behind her almost sweet smile.

Obeying Arrows instructions, Horus concentrated, closing his blue eyes and began thinking of throttling one of those things he had slaughtered outside with his bare hands.
Less painfull this time, as it was a change back, hair and muscle mass reduced. the most painfull part was the bones shifting. but not screaming out this time, he simply led down and alowed the transformation to happen. the last of the black hair retreating to his head and turning white before falling about his neck.
He stood up, and opened his eyes. Still the same shade of blue.
Not fussed that he was naked, he was proud of himself as a man. And as the company, a wolf that had seen it all before and a woman that looked like she had seen her fare share. he casually walked to his clothes, picked them up and got dressed. the onlky thing he needed from luna's pile of clothes where new under garments.
The last thing he picked up was the bolter. which he checked as he headed to a chair. "thanks for that by the way arrow" he said indicating its broken strap. "thought it was going to cut me in half".
"the name is horus" he said to the red haired woman underlining his words in the thick russian accent of his. "and who may you be?"

Lilith grins at the man, fully returned to his ordinary form and bows her head in greeting. There was something of a subtle mocking about this action, too quick to pick up on or linger in thought about. "Cute" She says, referring to his change and the oppression of screams... Perhaps it was on her behalf he acted so tough?
"My name is Lilith, first of the succubi, amongst other things" Her lips curl into a faint snarl. She rarely introduced herself properly, after all, she was older than even she could remember... Introductions were a chore after time...

Arrow can't help but frown a moment, trying to place her, that hair especially. Her scent blazoned across his senses and seeped into his mind. He couldn't place it no matter how hard he tried.
As if in a trance his lips murmmered, "Pleased to meet you Lilith..." He really couldn't place her, and this amongst other things captivated him.
Then he was pulled from his reverie by his friend. "Oh, not a problem at all Horus." He smiled, becomming more lucid.
"Do you stay here in the Palace?" Arrow asked, somewhat eagerly.

Lilith smiled kindly to Arrow, his frustration was apparent, she would let him place her in his own time. "No, I don't stay here if I can help it" Her words are like liquid, cool and satisfying. "I have my own lair" She grins, laughing slightly at her own words, a short, sharp edged sound.
"So Arrow, what has bought you to this particular place... Where is your... Master?" Lilith choses her words carefully, It had been a long time since she had laid eyes on the rich brat, Arilux...

watching how enticed arrow seemed in this newcomer, Horus realised that they needed a way out of there..
"ahem, Arrow, pardon me for intturupting, but dont we have some rather urgent buisness to take care of?" he said widening his eyes to underline his words

Arrow tensed a moment. Master? He had claimed no man or otherwise as his Master in a long, long time. Did this woman know him from his enslavement?
"I came to help Horus. Though I believe you are mistaken, Lady, I have no Master..." Arrow's congenial smile was slightly fixed, worried where this might lead. He had no intention of remembering those particular horrors, stuck with a sadist of a Vampire.

Lilith sneers, producing a cigarette out of thin air. Arilux was obviously suppressing his memories, or perhaps he was just hiding them... She crosses her legs, lighting up the cigarette with an elegant silver lighter. "Ah. I see. That was an awfully long time ago, I don't suppose you rememeber..." A smile parts her red lips for the cigarette, filling her lungs with the tobacco infusion.
The other one seemed restless, this Horus, with his unnecessary bulk of a weapon... "I believe your friend isn't quite warming to me" Lilith's words are cold but her expression is somewhat warm, eying Horus with a curious and suggestive sort of grin.
