Sven shook his head and sighed a little. "I know that, silly bird.", he arched his eyebrows and tightned his arm around her a little, before smirking and releasing her. He adored to push his limits, to risk. It was just thrilling. "Someone would be disappointed by now with that attitude, Mina Yrjö.", he pronouced her name quite well, since he was a nordic european as well. He didn't add anything, no details, no nothing. Sven just arched his eyebrows before walking up to the flickering lamp that illuminated dimly that roof.

Mina just grunted, fighting to shallow her anger. She would not lash out at her Beta. She could not afford to. Her hands opened and closed a few times, as if willing to wrap themselves around Sven's neck. Not yet. His words hovered in the air for a moment, making no sense - then settled like a stone plunging into a deep lake, irreversibly disturbing its calm waters. "What do you mean?" she spat. "What are you talking about, Sven?"

Sven shrugged. "We all had parents. We all had a family.", he licked his lower lip, smirking sickly. "A mother, a father.", he paused and turned his face to the blood moon. "Siblings, perhaps. I had five brothers and three sisters. Conservative family that thought condoms were the latex embodiment of Satan."
He knew he was pushing the limits. But he was an Interrogator. It was in his blood, in his attitude, in his personality, to know everyone's secrets. He liked to have them, too. Secrets are the most powerful weapon. The young man narrowed his eyes and watched Mina's reaction quietly, but quite attentive. Was she to get one of those outbursts, he'd be quick and swift to hold her wrists if she was to attack him.
"You had a family too, no?"

It was too much. That reference, of them all, shattered Mina's fragile hold to the frayed ends of sanity. A memory she didn't want to have broke free and flooded into her conscience - remembrance of a snowy morning, a year and a half ago, when her brother had kissed her goodbye and left with that gorgeous smile of him, looking back once. She had stood on the doorway, waving at him, smiling back and promising to write every week.
Without even caring to take out the knife, Mina lunged at Sven with her bare hands, a wordless growl coming from her throat, gray eyes screaming for his death.

Sven watched her lunge at him and quickly grabbed her wrists. Done that, he began pushing her back until her back hit a wall, a little cubicle that held the door to the floor below. He pressed her against the wall and stared at her eyes, clenching his jaw, now not with that teasing, cocky look. He was much stronger that one could think, and he did had experience in martial arts, namely Hsing-I and Savate.
"You're going to let memories affect you? Is that what you're going to do?", he hissed, his face close to Mina's. "What if someone finds about this, hmn?", he frowned and held her wrists above her hand. So this is what he was trying to do. He was not the leader, true, but the Beta. And as the Beta, he felt compelled in both protecting, warning and even teaching some things to the Mistress of his tribe. And if that involved in assassinations attempts... well, he had a big ego to trust himself and knowing he was able to defend his ass.

[You are power-playing, Nessy. I don't mind it now, but please be careful in the future; only I can choose what happens to Mina.]
Mina growled, trying to break free of his grip. He had no right to do this, no right to press her so, to play with her memories as he pleased. "And what if they do? What if they find out? What about it? That is my own problem, not yours, Beta." He would let her go, even if it had to be the hard way. Hissing, Mina brought her right knee up, aiming at Sven's groin.

(But he just grabbed her. Okay, sorry, sorry! I still have to adjust myself to this board's gameplay. No head smacking. Please. ._.; )
Sven tipped his head to the side and shook his head, "No, it's my problem too, Mina. What you do affects all Vampir-- augh!", he gasped and released her wrists, falling on his knees and bending over his stomach, after the knee of the girl reached his destination. Wincing, he tried to breathe. Hitting that area was pretty much like someone had sucked the air out of his lungs. Sven gritted his teeth and looked up at Mina, one eye closed. He talked like there was something hitting on his chest constantly.
"You are of my concern, Mina.", he wheezed, bending over his stomach again, laying one forearm on the floor, the other hand pushing against his pelvis as if to calm down the pain. "Don't forget that. If there is one Vampire you can trust your life with, it's me.", he whispered with some difficulties due to the pain.

"I trust you with my life, Sven", said Mina, looking down at him while dusting herself off. "Until the day you betray me. And I recall remembering you you have no such liberties as touching me. I am your leader, and expect you to obey. Ever. If you do not agree with that, you are free to leave and join any of the other tribes who accepts you. I do not, and will not, tolerate disobedience. Not even from you - especially from you, Rooster. What I do or do not is of my concern alone. You worry with the problems I pose you, nothing else. Thank you." With a twisted smile, she turned her back as if nothing had happened and walked back to the edge of the roof.

( *Lost.* What quote? D: )
Sven pressed his lips together, before grinning a psychotic smirk. He arched his eyebrows and nodded. "Fine, Mistress, fine.", he wheezed, watching her walk off. He filled his cheeks with air and breathed out, trying to ignore the pain. He backed up to the wall and used it as a support, pushing himself up, but not really standing up-straight as he is used to be seen.
"Christ, Mina, you could have hit another area.", he complained, but still smirking. "Ah, you do realize that I am the most loyal Vampire to you, at least? Heh. You ought to, I didn't jump in to be the Beta.", the pain subsided, he walked up to her and sat on the edge beside her, with a small groan.
(By the way, how long is her scarf?)

[The quote is from Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan. I trust you with my life until the day you betray me. The scarf is about 6ft = 180cm. Yeah, it's pretty long. Don't you dare pulling it... Or are you drawing?]
"If I'd hit you someplace else, would that be impressed clearly on your mind? I do not forgive nor forget easily, Sven. It is as simple as that. Take care, or you might lose something important to those Nordic women of yours." She grinned, showing too much teeth. "Just remember that." She sat down as well, legs dangling over the edge of the building. Dancer might be their acrobat, but no Vampire worth of his name was afraid of heights.

(*Pulls!* XD I kid. I am drawing.)
Sven snickered, looking at her as she sat down by him. He reached for her scarf with his long fingers and stared to play with it, not pulling or anything, just warping and unwarping its rim around his fingers. "You know you're the only nordic woman around here.", he snorted, teasing a little, and watched the moon, still playing with that scarf.
"So, anything knew you need to tell me, or was this a random visit. If you say yes, I'm hitting on you.", Sven snickered, arching his eyebrows, obviously not meaning that.

She sighed exasperatedly. "I just happened to be around here. Thought you might enjoy some... company. And I like to watch the moon." That was there too much times to recall any memory in particular. At least that. "About me being the only nordic woman around... Well, then you'll have to content yourself with southern women. Or boys", she added with a wicked smile. Two could play this game as well as one. Ignoring his hands playing with her scarf, she picked the pendant with both hands, looking down at it with slightly filmed eyes.
[Ooh. She's acting civilized. Weeeeird.]

(I'm scared...)
Sven snickered at her remark and watched her face glistening in the red moonlight. "You believe that I'm bisexual, then?", he smirked and turned his eyes to his fingers around the scarf, not losing that highly amused and sarcastic smirk. "Here I thought you were a person that did not listen to rumours."
Well, those rumours were hard to ignore, since he was always seen teasing girls and boys, and he didn't really say if he was just teasing for fun of he was really... teasing.

"If they are nothing but rumors, then you have nothing to worry about, right, Rooster?" She messed up his tuft of hair with one hand. "If they are not... Well, that is up to you. But I'd keep away from Trevor. He lives for his small... companion." Mina shrugged. "You just have to look for someone who likes nordic men, right? That shouldn't be too hard. Blond, handsome, well-built..." She gave off a half-hearted laugh.

"Worry? I should worry if I am bisexual? Why is that?", he snickered amusedly, shaking his head a little.
When Mina reached out to ruffle his hair, Sven pulled his head back and squinted his eyes, grumphing some at the hair ruffling. "Hey, hey, careful.", he said, fixing the mohawk again. Very important to keep up to his nickname, it seemed. "Bah. There are too many americans here, and no nordic people. The strong people.", he said, with an arrogant yet quite convinced look, grinning. He was quite proud of his nationality and heritage.

Mina smiled. "This is their home, after all. Or, better, it was. Now it's ours." Grinning, she waved her arm to indicate the whole city. "And don't be so proud of your so called heritage, Swedish", she added sarcastically, poking him - lightly; after all, they were on the very edge of the roof. "You Scandinavians are all the same arrogant bitches. Nothing at all like us, of course... We are a brave, wise people. Long live Finland!" [She's scaring me... ]

(e_e I know)
"Tsk! You're an hypocrite, lady.", Sven arched his eyebrows and snorted, before turning his head to the city below again. Then released the scarf and leaned back on his forearms, crossing his swinging legs at his ankles. He stared at the sky before looking back at Mina, and frowning a little. "Anyway, what about you? Like blonde, well-built and handsome men - like me? We don't talk much about trivial things.", he reached out and curled her long hair around his fingers, with absolutely no secong intentions. Just hated to be still for long.

Mina jerked her head back, taking her hair out of his hand. "If you can't keep still, play with that", she said, stuffing the rim of the scarf back on his hands. "Me? To like someone?" There it was again, that cold, forced smile. "My heart died when I left my home, Sven. It's dead and deep buried. That's that. No fairy tales with happy endings for me. Just me and the old reaper. His scythe could be useful sometimes, by the way..." Her eyes were off in the distance again. The rising moon was losing its red tint, turning a more natural silver-white. Despite herself, the leader of the Vampires sighed deeply.

"But your hair is way softer.", he protested with an eerie smirk, but went back to play with the scarf again, making an amused sound at her comment. "Oh, I don't mean "like" as in the books tell you it should be. That's pretty pointless, if you ask me. I just mean... Well, you know", he shrugged "Lust.", he arched his eyebrows, scratching his beard with his free hand. "Believing in love is pretty stupid. It makes you weak. Love is the ultimate weapon, is the... weakness that people believe to be a strenght. That's just stupid. Do not believe that, Mina. Love destroys.", he clenched and unclenched his jaw, looking at the scarf he was playing around his long fingers.

Mina growled deeply and shot him a dirty look. "I know that. Why do you bloody think I'm here?" I hope it really is buried. The snow- stop that, Mina. Breath. She inhaled deeply twice, then spoke again. "Lust. It leads to feelings, no matter how you try to find them. It's better to keep them at bay, not let them lurk at your door. Feeling the slightest bit for someone - even lust - will make that person a danger to you. I'm dangerous enough by myself, I need no help, thank you", she mumbled, half to Sven, half to the night. "And my hair will stay soft - if you keep your hands off, Sven."
