Leon walked through the main lobby, spotting quite a few little girls wearing purple hair clips.
Something smacked the back of his leg, making him stop in his step.
A boy between 8 and 10 came over and picked up the yo-yo that had hit Leon. The boy said a quick "sorry" and then started to restring the toy.
Boy and acrobat stared at each other.
"You're a scary vampire."
Leon arched a brow. "Vampires are frightening creatures."
"That's what I told my sister," the boy gave a half shrug, "but she still thinks you're a dreamy vampire." Unperturbed that he was saying things he shouldn't he finished with, "She's got posters of that one vampire that sparkles in the sun or something. She'll probably get one of you too."
"Patrick!"
The boy turned his head to a seventeen year old girl coming towards him, but he stayed where he was. Flustered, the girl approached with barely contained glee on her face.
"Sorry Mr. Leon. Is my brother bothering you?"
"Not particularly." After that, he made to move away until the girl called out to him. Biting back a sigh, he paused in his step, already knowing what she was going to ask.
"Could I get your autograph?"
"I don't do autographs when I'm out of costume," he neutrally intoned the much used excuse, "The same goes for photos and any other sort of fan paraphernalia."
The girl's brows furrowed at the last word he used. "Well, how about a recording?"
This time, Leon did sigh. "No."
Promptly he walked away, missing the dropping of the girl's jaw at the blunt refusal.
"See?" Leon faintly heard Patrick say, "not all vampires are dreamboats."
"Shut it, Patrick!"
