"Vlad."Leo echoed to himself, he had once known someone else named Vladimir. But, recently, he had gone to look for someone 'dear' as the man had put it. Leo wondered if he had found that special person yet. Then shook his head, why did his mind have to wonder so much at times. "Okay, Vlad. It was an pleasure meeting you,,"He said, silently adding 'I think.'.

Vlad nodded to him again, "the pleasures all mine" Vlad said to Leo. "Maybe I'll see you around?" He suggested. There was always a chance of them meeting again. That was the best thing he could say besides goodbye or see ya. He didn't need Leo being suspicious of him so soon. To early, no, even later on he couldn't know.

"Hmmm...maybe."He said in response. The boy,Vlad, he had been so friendly towards Leo, that had confused him. Perhaps, this boy had seen through his protective shell, the one thing that hid who he really was. He didn't think anyone could do that. Not that easily anyways, it always took other people a long time to get to Leo in any way.

"See ya!" Vlad said with a slight wave before walking the opposite way. This would take time. He couldn't risk suspicion, though would Yume understand this? This would take time..if he followed the kid, it might raise Leo's suspicion of him..

"..See you later, too?"Leo said, taking a few steps back. He couldn't not help himself from thinking how odd that boy is. With that thought in mind and Leo beginning to question a lot of things, including why he had waved back at Vlad. He shook his head before heading back home, where things weren't different.

"Vlad."Yume called, her pale hand beckoning the child towards her.

Vlad walked through the crowd, man he hated crowds, all you did was get shoved repeatably by people. Strangers, meaningless people. He looked up from the ground when he heard Yume call his name, and he went to where he heard her voice. Soon face to face with her.

"Ah, don't mind them. They'll learn soon enough."Yume said to Vlad, despite her lack of sight, she could tell that Vlad didn't appreciate crowds. Honestly, she couldn't blame him. People were truly rude."Now, how did things go,little one?"She asked.

"Okay I suppose" Vlad said to Yume. "He introduced himself, we talked a little..and honestly I don't think anybody ever told him not to talk to flat out strangers," he pointed out negatively, "but that's besides the point. I think I'm slowly gaining his trust, he didn't seem really distant around me" Vlad said. He looked down, "but I cant be certain of what Im saying..if I'm right..if I am gaining his trust" he said.

Yume took a small step towards Vlad,"Perhaps you are. You might be my only hope of getting Leo back."She said sweetly,the sweetness hardly left her voice. Even when tucked a finger under Vlad's chin,"..I would hate to see you fail, seeing how the consequences are..not pleasant in the least."She said.

He looked up at her when he felt her finger under his chin. "It will take time for me to do this. I don't want to nearly gain his trust completely, make one mistake, and it all come crashing down with no chance of a second attempt" he said, knowing what would happen him he failed Yume.

Yume smiled a bit,"You really are a smart boy."Yume said, letting go of his chin."Now,"Yume held out a key for Vlad. "There's a house not to far from here, I would go check the place out with you but something has come up. But, I'm sure you can handle looking at a house by yourself, Right?"She asked. The key swinging back and froth on her finger as she waited for Vlad's answer.

Vlads eyes made there way to the key in which she was holding. After a moment he took the key and put it in the right front pocket of his jesnd, "yes ma'am" he said. He could find it.

"Good boy, bow, be careful. No one needs to become suspicious of you in the slightest, alright?"Yume told him with a small smile. Granted, she was mainly concerned if Leo became suspicious of Vlad, if anyone else began questioning Vlad Leo would soon follow. Well, once he found a good reason to stop trusting Vlad.

Vlad nodded, "alright" he said to Yume. He had to act just like any ordinary citizen, just going about their day. Don't talk to any strangers, and just keep to yourself unless somebody speaks to you or something as if to "good afternoon" or something. Somebody he walked past them practially shoved Vlad into Yume, wuat rude people. What a bother, in a hurry or not. He backed up, and looked at Yume, "can I go now?" He asked.

Yume held a hand out to prevent Vlad to actual bump into her. She was never really stable on her feet,mainly since she could never brace her self for any kind of impact."My my, how rude can human beings be?"Yume thought aloud, and then nodded at Vlad. "Yes, you can go.Bye now."She said with a small wave.

It seemed the answer to tt question would be very. They may have their reasons, but they could say a shirt two word called excuse me! He nodded an okay, and started to walk off, "bye" he told her with a faint wave in return before looking ahead, and continuing on his way. As he walked he wondered if Yume was always around, or if she knew where to find him, when she wanted to find him.

Yume smiled as he walked off. The answer to, is she always around? Dose she always know where he happened to be at one point or another? Well, that would be one of Yume's many secrets. So one would have to wonder if she would so willingly answer with 'Yes'. Most of the time, as if to keep her self some what mysterious she doesn't answer those questions at all, just to keep her allies guessing for many years to come. But a smart boy like Vlad already had his answer, surely, he realized that.

As he walked that one thought stayed on his mind, rather he was pondering, or just seeking something to do. It did occur to him that Yume was blind, that was pretty noticeable, and she had always managed to find him despite that. She knew where he was when she gripped his shoulder beckoning him to go to Leo, and she was close enough when he was done to beckon him back to her, and she knew his arrival. When he finally reached her, so if so, maybe she could find him over longer distances. He shook his head, leaving his thoughts at that for now, and continued on his way to his destination.

{That took so long that is isn't even funny anymore. Sorry,I'm making a few characters, and quite literally, for one of them I had the wrong image link, and it took me a good amount a time to find the right link. Ugh.. Anywho, sorry for the wait.{
Yume smiled,"You already have the answer,just keep that in mind."She said, knowing that he would be able to hear her.

(You got to hate that moment, and its okay)

"Right" he whispered faintly, he had his answer. He dodged the humans, not bumping into any of them, being distant around them, but not an anti social kind of distance, nothing odd, or suspicious. Just the kind of 'hey buddy, I don't wanna bump into you so m just gonna dodge you.'

After he got out of the crowd and sighed thankfully.
