For Damion and Arthur
The fact that Arthur was tagging along was something of no consequence really, or rather it shouldn't have been. The vampire, at least, did not care to make any show of his disapproval in Arthur accompanying him to a din of other, decidedly more dangerous vampires than himself. Though, that was perhaps a misnomer. Percy was not exactly the 'safest' of murderous creatures, but he was safer for Arthur than the others were.
If Damion's lackeys had not stopped him, told him he should go by the club without so much as saying they would make him (and yet it seemed to be implied, somehow), he wouldn't have been taking his rather bouncy, chipper friend. There were plans to try else where, and the social atmosphere seemed to be something Anson and Arthur were on a two-man quest to make Percy comfortable with. Wasted effort if you asked him...
Still, he walked on, stopping outside the club to glance at Arthur carefully. "Don' go talking to anyone," he warned in a tone that brooked no argument. "Don't look at anyone, and keep your bloody bouncing down. Don' draw attention to yourself in anyway. Got it?" He didn't wait for an answer as he stalked forward, eyes narrowed and lips pursed.
Damion had better have the boy here this time, was all the vampire could think.
