Lenore moved around to the front and buttoned the jacket-shirt up. It was tight fitting and not a seam was visable. It looked darn good on the vampire, so Lenore turned to the now completed skirt and whirled it about he vampires waist. She pinned the cloth around Madeline's waist before turning and scooping up several spiders, setting the to work at weaving together the loose threads.
"Now don't move, I don't want them to bite you and ruin all their work and die."
Very faintly, Lenore wondered if Dimitri would be coming in to pick up his new shirt today. It seemed like she was making them bigger every time.

Dimitri set his hammer down. He was finished for the day, thought he wasn't happy about the work he had done. The axe head was still incomplete and there were still a few tools he needed too work on but his arms were getting tired too the point where he could hardly move them. He took off the heavy leather apron he wore and set it on a rack, then hung his tools up in their proper places. He set the uncompleted axe head on a work table with a few other broken farm tools. The horseshoes could wait tell tommorow too be delivered. Then he left the smith shop.
He still needed too pick up that shirt he had ordered from Lenore. He stopped at a puddle, it had rained recently, and used the water too clean himself abit, getting rid of the dirt from his face and the redness from the heat. He washed his hands then dried his face and hands with the inside of his slevees. Thought the water didn't help with him being so tired. He stood up and kept walking. He reached the talior's shop and waited, he could hear voices inside so he decided too let Lenore take care of those customers first then he'd go in and pick up his shirt. He took the moment too lean against the shop and relax, taking a few calming breathes and letting himself relax.

Lenore took her pins back from James and placed them back at the counter. She took out a sheet of parchment and started tallying up the costsfor the new gown. She looked up and saw the familiar Dimitri standing out side against the door. Setting down her work she waved the arachnids off of her customer and back into their holes.
"Dimitri! get your arse in here, it's snowing outside and you'll catch a death of cold!"

Dimitri headed inside. "Really? I hadn't noticed, guess the heat from the forge sinks in after awhile" He said and shrugged.
It was hard too tell the outside tempeture well in a forge, as well, the cold didn't bother him having come from a place where the cold was something you had too get used too.
((Sorry for the short post, Writers block))

Lenore put a hand on her hips and scowled at the smith. He really was so strange, all easterners were actually. Shaking her head she walked back into hershop, fully expecting him to follow her and come in out of the cold. And what a strangesort of cold it was, snowing in the middle of spring like it was, and so eerie. She wouldn't be surprised if banshee's started wailing.
"So, Madeline, I trust you are satisfied?"

Madeline looked down at the new dress and smiled. Stepping down off of the pedastal, she was awed by the dress, and ready to leave. There were getting to be too many people in the shop... and she could only restrain herself for so long. Already she was waiting for the night, the failed hunt earlier had made her even thirstier. She reached into the pocket of the dress she had shed earlier, and pulled out a fat coin purse.
With the smile still on her face, she looked at Lenore. "Of course I'm satisfied. Your work is always a wonder to me." Opening up the bag, she asked. "How much do I owe you?"

Dimitri smiled meekly and followed Lenore into the shop, where he took a spot off too the side, out of the way of the other customers.
He looked over this new group, the only other male in the room was one of the new villagers that moved in recently, he hadn't gotten any requests from them but he was sure he'd be getting a flood of jobs too do. He mentally sighed at the prospect of all that work.
I really need too find some apprentices... He thought. after all the saying went, many hands make light work.

"Oh, let's see, three gold?"
The materials were cheap to come by, even if they were high in quality, and Madeline was an old friend and village native. She might be giving discounts for all village natives now that she thought about it. It'd make sense, she could call it Elenoir's Special. Yeah, a nice way for the girl to be remembered, especially since she rarely got new clohthing.
"Now you!" She said, pointing a dangerous finger at the blacksmith. "Come get your shirts and get out eh? I'm hungry and it's getting dark. You know village rules about curfew."
Lenore turned around and shuffle through the various parcels on the shelves before grabbing three pairs of dulled scissors and a parcel containing some knives from her kitchen.
"Just sharpen them up for me and we'll call it even hm?"

Dimitri walked over and picked up the items and looked them over a moment, he ran a finger over the blades, he easily could tell which were the most used, and what kind they were. "They will be done tommorow morning then" He said. It would take him only minutes too finish them but the town rules on curfew were in the way, so he'd have too wait til morning too do them. He tossed the shirts over his shoulder and carried the knives and scissors in his arms.
He headed for the door, but due too his arm full had abit of difficulty getting the door he finally managed too get it and stepped outside with the door partially open. "Til tommorow then" He said and closed the door. Now it was time too begin the trek too his home.
His shop was in the opposite direction of Lenore's shop but he didn't mind the extra walk. He'd have time too think too himself and enjoy the night well he walked. He was taking his time getting home, in no hurry, it was still abit tell the curfew took effect.

Wondering through the forest as he had always done, Garret began hearing the sound of people talking, and smelling carved wood, fire, and refined metals. Once he realized that he was heading towards a village, Garret thought it would be best if he had eaten now, because he knew that it would be much too tempting in a small village.
Right as he was about to start hunting, Garret saw a human walking below him. He then realized he was tree hopping above a path. Garret quickly searched around to see if there were others, but there wasn't, there was only him. He was trying to fight his massive desire to attack the human and drain him of all blood, as he was trying to fight it, he fell out of the tree and the human ran away.
Glad that fool ran, or he would've easily been dead in a few more seconds. Garret thought to himself getting up, then picking up his hat, and placing it back on his head. Afterward he got up into the tree and began to hunt Elk, his favorite animal to feed upon.
After searching around long enough Garret had found many Elk, grazing in a clearing, a smile crossed his face at this sight. He had decided to knock one leg out of three of the Elk, before feasting, so that way the three could not escape. Now he only had to pick which was the heaviest and must filling out of the large pack. It took him ten minutes to figure out the heaviest from the sound the ground made as they placed down their hoof.
The moment Garret picked the last one out, he followed through with his plan, and the three of them had fallen, but what he didn't expect, is that he ran into the legs of two other elk and there were five lying on the ground once the others left. Garret was rather pleased at this mistake, because this meant that he wouldn't have to feast for quite a while longer. So he began to suck the blood out of all of the Elk.

Dimitri made it too the door of his house. He opened it and set the stuff he had in his arms on his 'Bring too work' table by the door. He took off his shirt and went into the kitchen area and took some water from a bucket and washed up abit then dried himself with a towel. He grabbed one of the shirts Lenore had made him, it was abit loose but that's how he liked it.
He opened a small wooden box and pulled out some dried meat and bread. He sat down on a stool by the window and ate quietly as he looked outside.

Madeline smiled as she watched Lenore start talking to another customer. Reaching into the coin purse, she picked out three fat, gold coins and placed them on the counter. Picking up her old dress from a chair, she walked out of the store and instantly felt relieved, the smell of blood wasn't as potent outside. Running forward, she reached the edge of town after about five minutes, and sighed. Home, sweet, home. She thought to herself as she walked into the woods, the smell of the trees around her was enough to remind her of her true home in France. It was so sad, the idea that her fiance, parents, and the rest of her family died more than three and a half centuries ago. Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, she tensed. There was another one... Another one like her in the woods.
Startled at the idea of there being another vampire in Glenyore, she ran forward, towards the scent.

It took some time before Garret could finish off the last of the Elk, he wasn't hungry to start with, but he had learned that over filling himself would make him sick of blood for a few days and thoroughly quenched his thirst, so he drank every last drop of blood of every elk, slurping very loudly. Even after he drank out the last of the elk's blood, he couldn't hear, because the sound of his slurping still rung in his ears.
It seems this forest is plentiful in elk, I should have no problems with staying in the village for a prolonged period of time. Garret thought to himself smiling, and looking around.
"Who's there?!" Garret asked in a loud voice, he heard somebody approaching, and is sure it can hear him, for it is obviously not human. "If you want some of my elk, there is still meat, but it'll be very dry, the elk have no more blood." Garret added, noticing how strong the forest smelled of elk.

Madeline chuckled as the other vampire offered her the rest of the elk. Stepping smoothly out into the field, she looked at him. "I'm afraid I have no interest in anything that has no blood, but thank you for offering." Despite her nonchalant actions Madeline was quavering at the thought of there being another vampire, it was just a strange idea. Slowly stepping closely, she cautioned herself, she had no idea what it would be like to meet another vampire, especially a male.
