"What are you guys doing here?" Alcinder asked again, and Elliana looked at Dexter, who looked back at her with an unsure gaze.

"You are only asking about us. You tell us, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you are smoking a joint. Some vampire drugs," Elliana commented, and Alcinder knitted his brows, stepping closer to her intimidatingly.

"Sometimes, I really wonder how you can survive with that sassy mouth of yours. Why did no one try to kill you in a fit of anger?" Alcinder asked, and Elliana looked at him innocently, blinking her eyes.
