Ayato trudged away from the city to the ocean, his hands shoved into the pockets of his pants. His shirt was parted by the wind slightly, showing his pale skin. He did not shiver though. As he walked, he noticed another creature by the salt water. He narrowed his gaze, taking his hands out of his pockets to cross his arms. "I suspected I would be alone."

As per the usual, Arich had not been paying attention. He had been watching a rather flustered osprey chase off some scavenging seagulls from her territory and, briefly, he thought he'd seen a dolphin on the horizon. Unicorns liked dolphins.
"I suspected I would be alone."
Arich turned, somewhat surprised by the tone. Had he offended somebody? Upon making eye contact, however, he blinked. The redhead wasn't human, but he'd never met another of his kind before. To be on the safe side, he decided not to ask.
"My apologies. I won't be loud," he offered with a smile. He didn't really want to leave, but maybe they could compromise.

Ayato gave a small, almost inaudible sigh, as though he wasted to complain, but he did not have the energy to do so. The vampire walked closer to the shore, lowering his arms to the side. His hands balled into fists as he looked at the water.
"You seem to know this place. I feel as though I am interfering with a creature that I shouldn't provoke. Or am I just going crazy?" He asked the question to himself for the most part. Ayato had not meant for thoughts to slide from his mouth.
"If we are both staying here, I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Ayato Sakamaki. Vampire. I can tell you aren't a regular person, either."

"You seem to know this place. I feel as though I am interfering with a creature that I shouldn't provoke. Or am I just going crazy?"
"I don't know," he said, quite honestly. People seemed pretty divided on the dangerous vs endangered debate when it came to unicorns. I mean, sure, they could hold their own in a fight, but they were also targeted for healing properties so most people saw them as nothing more than glorified deer with a few magical powers. He was pretty neutral on the topic himself.
"If we are both staying here, I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Ayato Sakamaki. Vampire. I can tell you aren't a regular person, either."
Vampire? He'd never met one before, but the stories he'd heard about them hadn't seemed all that positive, but it was worth an attempt. He wondered how old this particular vampire was. Would it be rude to ask? Maybe. He wasn't sure.
It took him a moment to realize that he still hadn't responded to the later part of the vampire's-- Ayato's, he reminded himself-- statement.
"Ah. It's nice to meet you. I'm Arich Kaus, unicorn." He held out his hand for the vampire to shake and hoped to high heavens that this conversation wouldn't turn awkward on account of their races. He hated awkward conversations. Thankfully Ayato didn't seem like an awkward person.

Ayato had no interest in the magical healing abilities of unicorns. For the first five minutes of the conversation, he didn't even know that this was a unicorn. Vampires healed somewhat quickly on their own, only having to be bandaged up. That is, unless, you were stabbed with a knife. His half-brother, Subaru, always carried one, and Ayato had been scared that he would use it on him some day.
When the unicorn--Arich--finished, Ayato saw his hand hold out for a shake. Slowly, the vampire clasped the other creature's hand, giving it a few firm shakes before pulling it away. "Nice to meet you, Arich. Though, I have never met one of your kind before. I say, it is interesting to finally meet a unicorn." he said, he voice no unkind or sarcastic.

He was pleased when Ayato returned the handshake. Clearly vampires weren't quite as bad as he'd heard. Perhaps it was different for mortals, though, since vampires did live off of the blood of humans.
"Nice to meet you, Arich. Though, I have never met one of your kind before. I say, it is interesting to finally meet a unicorn."
"And you, as well. I can't say I've ever met a vampire before myself. I'm glad to finally do so, however." He paused and let go. "So what brings you down to the seashore, if I may ask?"

"I would not say we vampires are extraordinary. We cause chaos to humans because of our need for food." Ayato merely shrugged after finishing his statement.
"I thought I would clear my head for a bit. You know, take a walk. I may not be the best of swimmers, but I do like water. It's really refreshing." he replied. "Why are you here? It seemed like you were admiring something in the water."

"I would not say we vampires are extraordinary. We cause chaos to humans because of our need for food."
"But you have interesting powers as well, don't you?" His eyes gleamed. "Why is it that you can be killed by sunlight or holy water or a stake through the heart but not the things mortal men can die by? Do you ever think about how strange it is that those of us who are not born human are immune to the most unusual things? And even humans themselves have strange feelings that those of us who are immortal may never understand and that have no gland or organ that has been proven to produce these emotions. The more we learn about the world the less we know."
"I thought I would clear my head for a bit. You know, take a walk. I may not be the best of swimmers, but I do like water. It's really refreshing."
"Water's wonderful and full of life. I'm surprised there aren't more people here. Did you never learn how to swim as a child? On that note, were you bitten or born? How old are you?" Now that they'd gotten past the typical chatter he figured he might as well ask questions.
"Why are you here? It seemed like you were admiring something in the water."
"You see that?" He pointed towards a nest over on the pier. "There's an osprey living there. She keeps leaving the nest to find food for her young but seagulls keep attacking her. It's terribly vicious, but she keeps trying. The love an animal, any animal, has for her young is incredible to watch."

"I do have powers, yes. I can fly as a bat and walk as a human. Yet, I am not a human. I thirst for blood, not food like beef or chicken, though I will eat it to be in disguise. The humans with the holy water and stakes and the sort are myths. What you need for a vampire is a knife. Silver, I think, though I am not really sure. My brother carried one around in case if things with himself ever got bad. He was willing to eliminate himself." Ayato told. "We are essentially the same as humans. We just have special characteristics and abilities thrown in. We feel the same, we love the same, and we hate the same."
Ayato gave a small chuckle at his questions. "My mother taught me. Or tried to. I was usually thrown into the water without warning. I was born a vampire. My father is the Vampire King, and my mother is the daughter of the Demon Lord. Both vampires. I am one of three brothers, triplets. The others, my half-brothers, have a different mother. Two are siblings, and one was an only child with his mother. And, I am told to be seventeen, though I suspect I am much older than that. You lose count eventually." he replied.
Ayato looked around the shoulder of Arich. He nodded when he spotted the nest. "The poor creature. I never liked seagulls. They are obnoxious and irritating."

"Flying, even as a bat, is not something that most can do, unless they're shapeshifters or others of your kind. Do you enjoy your other form?
He blinked at the statement about emotion and his brother. "Why would you ever want to eliminate yourselves? And the same emotions as humans, do you ever regret what you have to do to humans- beings with similar emotions- to survive?"
At the mention of the Demon Lord, he couldn't help but cringe a little bit. It wasn't that he knew who the Demon Lord was, or even that the demon lord was a real demon, but the mention of anything remotely demonic was enough to send the tiniest bit of a shiver down his spine. "It does sound like you had a full house. You talked about one of your other brothers, the one with the silver knife. Is he a full brother or a half brother? Are you close?"
"Gulls are loud and intruding. It's a shame. But with luck the ospreys will survive."

"It is true. But, being a bat is not anything special. You get smaller, and you fall asleep during the day time, so you can hardly do anything unless it is at night. That's when I tend to strike havoc." he replied.
"I think Subaru is scared that he would hurt someone badly. We can live off human food, but when we get a taste of blood, it is a feeding frenzy. After a while, you get used to it. You ignore the cries because you know you must have blood to survive after a long time." Ayato muttered, looking down at the pebble and sand shore.
"Subaru? He's a half-brother, And, I was never really close with any of my family. My father was never around, and I despised my mother. My brothers and half-brothers are alright, but we still don't get along." he answered.

"Still, I'm sure many would love the ability to fly."
He paused a moment at the vampire's second comment. "You know, you vampires do have a bad reputation. Prior to this conversation I'd assumed that most of you were out to harm mortals and acted purely out of viciousness. But the more I talk to you, the more I feel as though you are slaves to what you are. You hurt others, but only because you need to survive. That's one of the few moral gray areas those of my kind can actually acknowledge."
"I'm sorry you don't get along with your family. Is that why you left them?" Assuming he had, that is.

"Ah, isn't it obvious about how many wish to fly? They made metal birds to carry them across seas. Truly fascinated if you ask me.
"Some vampires do enjoy harming mortals.When they get the chance, they can raid small towns and villages. The dead would probably just turned up as missing. My brothers and I are more like the type that stay away from mortals. Sure, when I stayed with my brothers, we got human sacrifices, and those were to-be-brides sent by the church. It was hard not to eat them. It is regrettable, but it must be done." Ayato said with a soft voice.
"I left them so I could be on my own for a while. My mother is gone, which is great. But, my father still lurks about, famous on Japanese news. My brothers annoy me, and I have found peace here."

"The ingenuity of mortals is really something to behold," he agreed. "My own kind has not changed much even over thousands of years, and yet the ones who are short-lived are the ones who change things."
He wrinkled his nose at the mention of the other vampires. "That's disgusting. I'm pleased you're not one of them." He paused. "What are these to-be-brides?"
"So your father is a famous political figure? Even as a vampire?" He found that hard to believe. "Do the mortals know?"

"Humans are cruel to your kind. Is that correct? The ones that know you; they hunt you down for medical purposes? It is a shame they do that. They truly are a selfish breed." Ayato mumbled, giving a small scowl.
"I think all vampires are like that. I still can be like that. Not often, though. The to-be-brides are women that the church send to "get married" to us. They are really sacrifices, I am guessing to keep us away from them. The girls usually don't stand a chance.
"He is, but I don't have any interest in him. I doubt they do. They believe he is great. He probably hides his secret well enough to do so."
