And what's that supposed to mean? Chance wondered to himself, shaking his head slightly. 'Uhm, okay, what in the world happened to make you think that you're such an awful person?'

*Lilith lowered her gaze slightly. She didn't ever tell people much about it but that's because people never stayed around to listen. She wouldn't tell him everything... but she would say enough..* "I mentioned that my mother was in a coma once... four years ago... I didn't mention the fact that I caused it..." *She paused a moment to look at him again to watch his reaction.* "They don't call me Vampyr just because of how I look. Any time my skin comes into contact with someone's blood... I drain their energy... I drained enough of my mother's to put her in a coma for a month. If I held on long enough, I could have killed her. My father got rid of me as soon as possible without my mother's permission. When she woke up and found out, she divorced him. So in other words, I nearly killed my mother and broke my family apart. And I could hurt anyone else just as easily as I did then..." *She didn't mention the feelings that came with her mutation. That was too much to tell him right now... She wasn't sure that she hadn't already said too much.*

Chance was silent for a moment, somewhat stunned. 'Wow, that's really rough. But you didn't do it on purpose, so it's not your fault. It's not like you knew what would happen, right? And you didn't break your family apart, your father did. If he had been able to accept you instead of feeling like he had to get rid of you then your mom wouldn't have divorced him,' he paused to glance at her. 'And all humans are capable of hurting people, they just don't. My mutation isn't even dangerous, but I can hurt people as easily as you can, just by using regular abilities that all people have. It doesn't take somone special to pick up a gun,' Chance shrugged.

*Lilith couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her eyes focused on his and she was silent for a moment before speaking.* "Do you really believe what you're saying.... or are you saying it for my benefit...?"

'What?' Chance straightened in surprise and blinked. 'Of course I believe what I'm saying. Why else would I say it?' he cocked his head and looked at her. 'I mean, think about it; you exercise the same force of will over your mutation as any average person would over any kind of weapon. You choose not to hurt people on a daily basis, just like everyone else.'

*Lilith just stared at him for a moment before lowering her head. She briefly closed her eyes.* "It's funny... My way of thinking has always made sense to me... but suddenly yours does too... It's difficult for me to decide which one is right." *She paused, realizing how foolish this was.* "I apologize. We've only just met and this conversation is probably too serious and emotional for you to be comfortable with it..."

'No, that's okay. And you don't have to decide, at least not right now. Just keep an open mind, it's good for you,' Chance said with a grin.

*Lilith looked up at chance, smiling a little.* "I suppose I'm not an expert on what's good for me these days." *She shook her head lightly.* "But that's quite enough about me... I'd rather talk about you..."

'Err... uhm.. heh..... what do you want to know?' Chance asked nervously. 'Because I assure you I'm ah, quite boring and mundane and all that other stuff and if you ever need someone to put you aleep, just ask me to tell you about my life. Heh... heh...' Lying through my teeth, here, but that's okay...

"There isn't much that puts me to sleep... Come now... There's plenty you can tell me, I'm sure... Let's start off nice and easy... Something simple... Like your mutation..."

'Oh, yeah, that is easy. Uhm, it's actually kind of usless, if you ask me, but I can manipulate the outcome of certain events. Mostly stuff that has to do with luck, which is what was up with the dice before. And my intuition is really sharp, but that's something a lot of people have,' Chance said, shrugging. 'The only thing it's ever done for me was get me large sums of money. Here, though, people are smart enough not bet on anything with me. At home, I just got beat up alot,' he finished with a wry grin.

*Lilith laughed a little at the last part.* "It's not useless at all..." *I could definitely use some luck...* "But here I was thinking that you could take care of yourself..." *She smirked slightly, her deep red eyes playful.*

Chance rolled his eyes at that and replied, 'It's not that I can't fend for myself, it's just that I'm not smart enough to know when to stop doing something.' She's right, though. That's one thing I'm NOT very good at, he thought, recalling the numerous times he had come home looking like sh**, despite the fact that he had a pocket full of money. Chance shook his head lightly and shrugged it off, coming back to the present.

"I don't know you very well but I can tell you that it's definitely not the fact that you're not smart enough to stop. Too stubborn to stop perhaps..."

'Well, y'know, it's all the same to me anyway. There's a fine line between being stupid and stubborn,' he said, shrugging slightly.
