[Left alone, without outside interference, not even Christmas festivities disturbing him, and with a whole lot more power than he would ever possibly have naturally Even has gotten quite comfortable with his little 'living arrangement.' Enough so that he's walking around in the residential areas hand in hand with Ienzo.

You see, Ienzo wasn't fotunate enough to have been sent home when he disappeared from the DR (In so much as considering what going 'home' entails for him may be considered remotely fortunate at all.)

He was taken.

For six months he's had no one but Even for company. Not that you'd know by just looking at him, still being undead his physical appearance can't change, so he still seems the same as he did last year.
Even on the other hand looks very different. Looking more like a regular Even or Vexen now, and not stuck in a perpetual stress-moult.

Admittedly since it's after nightfall it's not nearly as bold as if he'd chosen to do so during the day, but Even's at least retained enough sense not to take a vampire out in the sun. ]

[Which is a good thing because even if mind reading wasn't hilariously dangerous in this situation, jacking one's mind into a hivemind of utter madness surely can't be good for it.

Given time to find a good patch of snow for playing and time for 'playing' to go too far will take a while, so a good deal of patience is probably necessary.

At the beginning a lot of the playing may seem kind of stilted or forced, but given a bit the kid relaxes and the games seem more natural, even enjoyed.

At least up until the kid is kissed on the lips, (what kind of parent does that?) then Ienzo just goes quite still for a moment.]

[It only takes a full three seconds for him to get over the shock/disgust, come out of hiding and yank Even back by his hair with a snarl.]

[Even lets out a yelp sounding almost exactly like a kicked dog.

With a neat little perfect storm of circumstance that makes his instinctual reactions hostile rather than submissive, instead of the usual (metaphorical) going limp and showing throat he twists and tries to throw a punch with all that ghoulish strength he's picked up from drinking vampire blood.

Ienzo's just going to make himself small as possible for now, but his beast might decide on a different course of action later should something trigger it.]

Oh man this is so late ;;

[Too bad for Even that Roxas is a natural fighter. Or, a natural killer, one might say.

And being a strength type of his kind of Vampire doesn't hurt either.

He's going to swiftly step to the side of that punch, grabbing his wrist midstep and twisting Even's arm hard, using the angle as he steps to put even more strain on the arm.]
