Okay.... [She gulps and steps closer, standing on her tip toes to wrap her arms around his neck.]

Maybe we could...uh start at a very low height? An inch or two???

[doesnotsparkle]

Of course. [ A promising tone offered. Moving his arms around her to hold her against him. Slowly lifting them up just about two inches, hovering off the ground. ] Please do let me know if you get scared and want down.

[bumblebee_tights]

[It feels weird, having her arms around a stranger who also happens to be a vampire and when he slowly lifts them up she squeaks in surprise and clutches tighter.]

Oh my god oh my god!

[She is scared but that's just in the moment and because it's new and she forces herself to not demand to be let down and eventually the fear passes.]

Okay....ooookay. [She breathes and then smiles at him.] Okay, maybe a little higher?

[doesnotsparkle]

It does take a moment to adjust.

[ He doesn't seem phased at all, but touching strangers becomes something you get used to with his condition. He even managed a light chuckle when she clutched tighter. The arms around her not moving at all. ]

Alright, here we go. [ This time he lifted them about three feet off the ground, moving through the air as if they weighed nothing to hover over the bench just to give her a little more security while she adjusted.]

[bumblebee_tights]

OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

[She squeals and squeezes even tighter but this time it's out of excitement.]

OHMYGOD THIS IS REAL!!! I CAN'T BELIIIIIIIIIIIIVE IT!!

[doesnotsparkle]

[ Despite the hollow bones that come with what he is, the squeezing doesn't bother him. He's grinning again, slowly lifting them higher to give her time to say no if he doesn't want to go too high. ]

I am glad you are enjoying it. I don't get to share this with many. Would you like to go faster? Higher? Ladies choice.

[bumblebee_tights]

Higher!!

[She cheers and starts to giggle as she looks down at their feet and how high they are going.]

[doesnotsparkle]

[ That gets a chuckle from him as he keeps lifting them higher and higher, finally passing the treetops. ]

Glad to hear you enjoying yourself, Miss Clark.

[bumblebee_tights]

Are you serious? This is brilliant!!

[She notices that they've gone over the treetops and swallows again.]

But uh maybe we can stop here?

[doesnotsparkle]

I must admit, it is one of the few highlights of what I have become.

[ The wind was starting to pick up just a little, but it didn't do much besides ruffle clothes and hair as they hovered over the treeline. ]

Rush hour traffic is no longer an issue. [ He teased lightly.] Alright, want me to lower us back or glide a bit over the trees? Whatever you want. We will do.

[bumblebee_tights]

[She weighs her options and then dares to let go of his neck with one of her hands, motioning towards the trees.]

Let's go over the trees a little bit.

[doesnotsparkle]

Of course.

[ Even letting go of his neck with one arm, she was still held securely in place by his arms. Moving them backwards a little faster atop the trees. ]

If you look that way, [ He motioned his head to the side.] You will see a lovely view of some of the skyscrapers.

[bumblebee_tights]

[She turns her head to look at the view he is motioning to, her eyes widening a little at how pretty the city looks.]

Do you often do this? Just float around to see the view?

[doesnotsparkle]

When I first learned how to, yes. Not much, anymore.

Mostly these days I just sit on top of skyscrapers and watch the city. It is much quieter that high up.

[bumblebee_tights]

That's what you do for fun?

[doesnotsparkle]

No, that is just where I go to think.

[ A bit of a guilty look crosses his face.]

I am what you may call a workaholic. While I do get out, it is not often without purpose. I spent most of my time working on my research.

[bumblebee_tights]

What kind of research do you do? Is it all about your...uh science vampire condition?

[doesnotsparkle]

I am a hematologist and biochemist, I work with a lot of rare blood born illnesses looking for cures. Though my condition is always a focus of my research. I hope to one day return to being a normal human. But for now, I can except helping others who are ill.

[ Without asking, be playfully spins them around as if a small dance above the trees. ]

[bumblebee_tights]

[She opens her mouth to respond but it's cut short by a flurry of excited giggles when he spins them around in the air.]

That's very kind of you, to help others.

[She says once he's done turning them.]

You must have gotten a lot of schooling to be so good at it.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ That giggle clearly lightens his mood some; that smile is back in place for a moment. ]

Well, I would say it helps with the guilt, but truth be told, I always wanted to help others even before.

[ He shrugged a little, keeping her still safely in his arms while they floated in place for now. ]

Well, yes, but not as long as many might think. I have a doctorate and a few PhDs. I started college younger than most.

[ While often people might expect him to brag about the Nobel he won before his experiment, he rarely alludes to it himself. It felt like a lifetime ago.]

Care to dance? [ He asked playfully. ] And perhaps tell me what brought you to the city?

[bumblebee_tights]

[She huffs air out over her lip, making a soft 'pffft' noise and rolls her eyes playfully at him.]

Oh just a few PhDs, nothing fancy. How young were you when you went college? Wait, let me guess....sixteen?

[She then laughs.]

I thought we were dancing already. And I guess adventure brought me here.

[doesnotsparkle]

[ He chuckled at that; it had been so long since he had been this at ease around a stranger. ]

Well, I have always been told it is rude to brag, but yes. Somewhere around there, closer to fifteen if I am remembering correctly.

[ Of course, he was one of those kinds of geniuses.

At her reply, he gave a playful look. As playful as someone with red eyes and fangs can be. And started to sway them around in almost a mock ballroom dance above the trees. ]

I would think this to be more of a dance, wouldn't you? Though, you have me curious, Miss Clark, what kinds of adventures were you seeking?

[bumblebee_tights]

I think I'm the wrong person to ask about that, most of the dancing I've done has been on the ground and in the club. I haven't really done much ballroom stuff.

[She admits with a laugh.]

And I'm not really sure, just kind of adventure in general. I've lived my whole life in the same small town and now I have the funds to travel and explore so I'm doing it.

[doesnotsparkle]

I know very little about dancing of most kinds, I confess.

[ Mostly just swaying and small turns in the sky. A small attempt at a playful dance. It was nice to get to be a little more playful than life usually allowed.]

That is understandable, more so with having the funds now. What things do you like to do? New York is the city where you can do most anything, I have discovered in my years here.

[bumblebee_tights]

Well you seem to be a natural at it.

[Or maybe that's just because they're in the air and he can't step on her tones, it's hard to say.]

This is going to sound rather silly but I don't really know. [She says and gives him a guilty little smile.] I used to just get up, go to work, hang out with my boyfriend and then go to bed. So I guess I'm trying to figure that part out as well.
