Nyx, Jack Sparrow, Spike & Vortigern.
Nyx turned around the small gallery space slowly. It was easy setting things up with a telepath. You just connected and it was no, no, yes, put that one in, what price do you think we could get, yes, oh definetely...Very quick, very easy.
Where had they been, anyway? Nearing Canada, she thought. Montreal had a large vampire population...due to the fact a lot of it was underground. Spike was probably going to slide his way back into vampiric society, dusting as he saw fit. Vortigern would help. He was a strong Mate and Spike would make sure the youth was treated with respect. It hadn't used to be an uncommon arrangement, Mating. It was now because most vampires didn't see the benefits of it. That, and they didn't trust each other. Which was understandable.
She organised a painting that was being hung, before two strong arms slid around her waist.
"Not now, Jack...I'm busy."
Nevertheless, she turned around and kissed him, hand tangling through his hair.
"O'course ye are. Very busy. I can see that."
He kissed her again.
"Honestly...you're worse then me. And I'm not even human."
Nyx glared at the worker who'd stopped working.
"Did I say you could stop? Jump to it, the exhibtion's opening tonight!"
"Without the artist?" Jack asked.
"He's...busy."

Vortigern leant his head against Spike's chest as the vampire held him gently.
"We don't have to go back anytime soon, do we?"
"We can do nothing as long as you like, luv."
"Good...I just got so tired of the school. It's hell for a telepath. Must be worse for any empath. I feel sorry for Bek."
Spike kissed Vortigern's forehead gently.
"There's my sunshine boy. I was wondering where you'd got to."
"Spike..."
Vortigern bit his lip.
"I'm changing and it scares me, sometimes when I stop and think about it. Usually I don't care at all...and other times I know I should and I don't. Like...like when you feed. I should care but I don't. I know I used to, but now it just makes me want you."
Vortigern leant up and kissed Spike hard.
"Make me forget I should care."
Spike kissed him back, turning them both on the large bed.
"Sure pet. Whatever you say."
