Balthazar couldn't understand the exact words that Isola spoke, but he understood what she was saying, so to speak. And he smirked.
"Hey, what have I ever done to you?"
He looked at the person with Isola. And he frowned. He smelled of alcohol, and well... Dirt. And he didn't really care to give him some sign of recognition, more than that he actually looked at him, but his eyes wondered back to Isola.

"Nothing" she said resignedly in response to the two men and put her hand on Alan's.
She gently removed his hand from her shoulder and didn't release Balthazar with her eyes at first, but then turned to Alan and smiled.
"No, he didn't do anything, Alien. It's okay."
Isola turned to Balthazar and returned his smirk with a similar smirk.
"Alan, this is Balthazar. It's.. nice? ..too see you again."
She had to find a suitable word and sure it was nice in its own way, but as it ended last time she did'nt want to meet him again.
Well, it was kinda hard to avoid him now.
Isola sat down on the bench standing beside the bench where Balthazar sat.
"How have you been?"

"Oh... allright then" Alan felt kind of sheepish "So you're Balthazar and it's nice to see you again, I'm Alan" He said and reached out his calloused hand to Balthazar and smiled under his mustasche.
Alan sat himself on the ground in front of the bench and leaned back on his elbows as he stretched out his legs in front of him. He was watching Isola and Balthazar, he could clearly see that Isola was kind of uncomfortable, as he took a couple of sips from his bottle. Putting the bottle down next to him he let himself fall on his back and let out a sigh of relief "It's nice to be outside again isn't it?" He said to himself as he drew in the smell of the wet grass all around him.

Oh, great, they were going to stay? Balthazar's face showed no emotion whatsoever. He did however take the hand of Alan, he wasn't going to be that rude, but he just nodded, and did not stand up. He had thought Isola strange, but this guy, just having met him some seconds, he knew he was way more strange. But Balthazar usually had nothing against strange people. After all, people must consider him strange most of the time.
He turned to Isola to answer her question.
"I have been fine. And you?"
he answered very shortly.

Indeed Isola felt uncomfortable but she couldn't go anywhere, Alan was here with her now, but it felt so weird sitting next to Balthazar.
All she really wanted was to run away and avoid him for the rest of her life or for a really loong time anyway.
"Yeah, I've been as peachy as can be."
Isola responded in the same short maner back.
Why couldn't Alan just smoke his spliff so they could be on their way, she knew this night couldn't end well and beside she didn't have anything to talk to Balthazar about.
Isola moved away from him as she could on the bench.

"Well if none of you to mind I'm going to have myself a little puff on this one" Alan pulled out the spliff as he said and stuck it in his mouth "I know what you think of it Isola but bear with me" he mumbled still with the joint in his mouth then smiled at her as he took it out.
While searching in his pockets for his lighter he found a small necklace wrapped in a filthy piece of cloth as he took it up and opened it to examine the little woodcarved pendant he remembered why he had it "HA! I had completely forgotten I had this..." He looked up at Isola and held it up in front of her "I made this when I was up at the Stonehenge festival, I thought it might be a nice little something to give to you... how about it stargazer?" As he said it he turned the pendant around so she could see the carving of a star on the flat and polished side of it.
*the carving looked like a simplified 8-pointed compass rose*

When Alan pulled out the spliff, it confirmed Balthazar's thoughts, when he had smelled that sweet smell. Smoke still stuck in his dirty clothes that only a vampire could smell. He squinted his eyes just a little bit, when he remembered the days when he actually got something out of it. He didn't like the heavier stuff. Drinking a cocaine addict was often just nasty, and you could never get any effect by drinking a smoker.
Balthazar looked at the pendant, and then looked at Isola, to see her reaction. It was really nice, actually. Not his style, but he could appreciate the craft.

Isola just raised an eyebrow to Alan and said: " I mind.. "
But her sceptical expression change when Alan held the pendant infront of her.
"For me?"
She almost got tears in her eyes how much she appreciated his effort and that he thought of her.
Isola bent down and gave him a quick hug when she received the necklace.
It went immediately around her neck and she proudly showed it for both Alan and Balthazar, she even did that silly hand movements they made when they sold jewelry on TV shop.
She smiled at Alan but raised an eyebrow again and looked at him with a meaning glance.
"Thanks for the bribe, Alien. But I still don't like the thing you have in your mouth and if you will excuse and I'll watch the stars for a while.. At least until you are finished, Alien."
Isola rose from the bench and walked away to lie down on the grass a short distance away, but close enough that she could still make out their voices.

"I'm just trying to get on your goodside stargazer" He smiled as he said it. When Isola had walked away Alan sat quit for a little while smoking and then he looked at Balthazar "So... how come you are out here all alone anyway? Most people tend to avoid parks after nightfall because they're afraid of... well me actually or people like me" Alan laughed a little.

Balthazar stared at the glow which just slightly lit up Alan's face. Not that he couldn't see it anyway, with his vampire eyes. The wind carried the smell towards Balthazar and he took a deep breath.
He looked at Alan and answered.
"Oh, so I should be scared?"
He smirked slightly.

"Well I guess that's up to you but I'm really as harmless as puppy, without the sharp teeth of course... the teeth I've got aren't really very sharp" Alan wondered about Balthazar, something about him reminded him of that guy Leo he met earlier... something he couldn't quite put his finger on "I'm new to London, well I've actually been here before but only as I passed through and that wouldn't really tell me much of the city"
He was starting to get a good buzz going and felt kind of talkative, he really did prefer weed over hash... at least when he was just smoking it to relax like this. Alan looked over at Isola for a while, he remembered how they met the very first time and smiled. Looking back at Balthazar he was suddenly reminded that he didn't get an answer to his question "SO... ehm... you know you didn't answer my question?"

Balthazar just nodded when Alan talked, smirking as he mentioned sharp teeth, and he smiled, both amused and annoyed, at how talkative this guy was. Since this was the first time Balthazar met Alan, he couldn't really tell if it was the drugs, or if he was it in himself. He guessed the first part.
For some reason Leo popped up in his mind, but he just shook it off.
To answer his question Balthazar just shrugged his shoulders a bit and said:
"I just like to sit here by myself, thinking, you know. And I prefer the night. Not so many people."
He hoped Alan would get the not so very subtle hint.

"Ah people... I really have a problem with most people, at least the typical sheep personalties you run into most of the time" Alan took a last puff and said "But then again... I guess that's only natural since most people have a problem with me"
He exhaled and put out the glowing butt on his shoe and then put it away in his pocket "Don't want to litter too much right, it's enough that I'm lying here" Laughing at his own remark he sat up and looked over at Isola and said with a loud voice "I'm done now so if you want to join us again, please do" He gave her a smile and patted the ground next to him.

Isola was very much in her own world, staring at the stars when she heard Alan say anything about that he was finished and that she was welcome to join them again.
She replied with a strained voice as she rose from the ground where she had lain on the grass.
"On my way.."

Balthazar just nodded as Alan spoke, thinking that this guy didn't think much of himself.
"Well I guess it wouldn't stand out that much from everything else, anyway, so why bother?"
He turned to Isola as she began to get up from the grass where she had lain.
