Chap 2 What?

Myrnin studied Claire's face and eyes looking for any signs of distress or anger, but all he could see was her inquisitiveness and gentle warmth gazing back at him. Lost in her eyes, and inhaling her sweet seductive fragrance and watching her slowly lick her full pouty lips, Myrnin was bewitched by his little apprentice. Smiling to himself enjoying the sensations and emotions Claire has unknowingly awoke in him. He realized that he had been staring at her for a while when she blushed and absentmindedly began to fidget with the hem of her shirt, and finally looked a way from his eyes. Clearing his throat, and feeling a bit odd, thinking someone should say something, so why not him.

"Well, my young one what do you wish to know. I'm sure you do not wish to be locked in my bedroom all day and I'm sure it would be hard to explain this to anyone if they were to find out. Though I can honestly say I don't mind the company, and you are very attractive young lady, but alas you are with that boy and I am sure he would not like to share. So what is your first question, My dear?"

Claire was taken by surprise did he just call her attractive, and what was with the excuses? He made it sound as if she was not with Shane he would make a move on her. Why should she be surprised, she did find pornographic drawings and paintings of a woman with an ucanny resemblance to her, in his personal stuff. Quickly dismissing that topic of thought Claire focused on the first one which is why she wanted to speak to him about.

"Myrnin, why do you have papers on Robin hood? I thought he was a fictional person you know like Merlin the wizard. I mean I could understand if you papers and things on Merlin, but Robin hood, really? The stories of a fictional man running around the forest stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, it is nothing more than a tale, a bedtime story."

Myrnin could not help the delighted laugh that came out, he was relieved that she started with Robin hood. That topic could make it easier to ease Claire in to the truth, and surprisingly she brought up Merlin. Those papers were put up, so she has yet to see the irony of the comparison of the two, and how knowing both will help in teaching Claire about the past, their past.

Myrnin answered Claire using his soothing and soft voice the one that could charm the coldest of hearts, smiling warmly at her. Claire looked at him with a small smile on her lips, he wanted to kiss her so very much, instead he spoke.

"My dear you of all people should know by now that fictional is a loosely relative term. After all you are having a conversation with a vampire, in town with other vampires. I thought that even before coming here you would have figured out that fiction is always based off of some fact or another. Come dear, did you truly believe that he was not a real person?" Myrnin looked down at Claire with one eyebrow arched and the most innocent expression on his face. Claire was taken back by his words. Was he serious?

"So, your telling me that Robin hood was real and that you know this because, why now? Forgive me if I seem a little skeptical, but there has been no real proof of his existence say for a few pieces of papers and other ledgers written about him." Claire's scientific and logical brain was reeling from what Myrnin was suggesting. Looking in to his eyes she could tell that even though he is amused by her ignorance he was quite serious about the topic. Sitting back down next to Claire, Myrnin held her gaze a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, he patiently waited for Claire to process the information before continuing.

"My dear sweet Claire, Yes there was once a Robin hood, though that was not his name. The name Robin hood was thought up a few decades later, his true name can found in the papers I have in that box. Oh and Merlin lived as well and I have papers on him somewhere around here." Myrnin gestured slightly with a hand towards the door to the lab, but continued talking softly to Claire. "What I find disturbing is how many movies and books have been written about them and only a small few have ever come close." Myrnin looked off across his room, but his eye seemed to not focused on anything thinking of the past. Claire softly spoke again brining Myrnin's attention back to her.

"You speak as if you have meet them. How is that possi... never mind. What do you mean so few came close? Came close to what depicting curiosity?" Claire knew that to get the answer you go to the source, so if Myrnin had meet either Robin hood or Merlin this would make a very interesting conversation. "What did they get wrong? Was Merlin not a alchemist? Or Robin hood a lord?"

Chuckling softly yet again Myrnin was pleased with Claire's curiosity, she seemed to have moved closer to him without realizing and had grabbed his hand. Her warmth engulfed him and he enjoyed her closeness. Not wanting the time to end, but soon it will be dark and that boy will come looking for her, so he decided to tease her curious mind one last bit before sending her home to him.

"My young one they were both just that. Now it is time for you to go." Myrnin stood and turned and walked at human speed to the door, but as he began to unlock it Claire spoke with some agitation.

"Myrnin you can't leave me with that. Come on you have to tell more. Please, please Myrnin? Please tell me the rest. Claire was pleading to Myrnin's back. He had turned a way so she could not see him smiling, he wanted her to beg for more. He was enjoying the frustrated sound of her little voice. Myrnin was prepared to refuse telling her the rest, until he turned around and fell in to her warm puppy dog pleading eyes and his knees went to jello, his heart yearned to give her everything. Somehow he refrained himself from kissing her and embracing her and opened the door quickly a shooed her out of his room in to the lab.

He walked over to her things picking everything up swiftly and handing them to her before quickly guiding her over to the portal which was opening. He then turned her to face him and he bowed taking her hand he softly placed a kiss on the palm (not the back) and gently pushed her through in to the Glass house living room. He spoke to her seductively before closing the portal.

"My sweet Claire if you want more I recommend you show up early tomorrow and if you ask nicely I may tell you everything you wish to know. Until then sleep well, my dear." Myrnin slammed the portal closed and headed back to his private room to think of Claire, wondering if she will dream of him tonight.
