((I pay way too much attention to the dogs when they get excited!))
Vertigo's butt began to wiggle uncontrollably with how hard her tail wagged. Her ears went back, and she snorted and sniffed at him in joy. She immediately began pushing her head into Dominic's hand, looking for more pets. The big dog almost appeared to be grinning as she began to pant in her excitement. From the bed, Mala continued to eye Dominic suspiciously. It was hard not to laugh at Vertigo's usual reaction to attention from a "new" person, but she managed to resist... "And how could I not?" She asked, in response to his order for her not to worry.

Dominic smiled, chuckling at the dog's reaction, seeing the movement though the closest to his eyesight was the dog's happy head. He scratched behind her ear, glancing over to Mala her gave a teeth glistening smirk. "Because otherwise, you'll truly tempt me to do what I think to sy.." he warned before he looked at the pup, smiling more innocently at her.

Mala's brows furrowed, and she narrowed her eyes. As Vertigo began to stand up, preparing to jump into Dominic's lap, Mala spoke. "Vertigo. Come," she ordered, smacking the bed. The dog looked at her, her butt ceasing to move. "Come here," Mala repeated. Finally, Vertigo hopped onto the bed, giving Mala a pleading "kiss" on the chin before collapsing into a lay on the girl's foot--it seemed the dog was under the impression she was in trouble. Mala continued to watch Dominic warily, ignoring Vertigo's attempt to suck up to her.

"Oh sure, take my only means of entrainment right now, that fine." he protested, shifting to lay on the bed. "Or do you want to be my means of entertainment again, Mala.." he smiled, , crossing his legs. "I'm not going to do anything, really. I was just going to say a joke you'd surely find twisted...that I know forgot.." he murmured. He cursed under his breath.

She continued to eye him suspiciously. "And how am I suppose to trust how you say? I don't know you and you're a vampire," she pointed out. "Not the best base to build trust on..."

Dominic frowned--almost pouting really, due to her words, resting his gray-haired head on her pillow as he looked at her, a glare combined with his pretty little pout. "That's just like you humans...to not have a bit of trust to something that isn't the same race as you or underneath you on the food chain. How discriminatory..." he spoke coldly, ultimately averting his eyes after his spoken words.

Mala twitched away from him in surprise as he crouched down and flopped his chin on her pillow. "Well, yeah. I imagine there would be a lot fewer humans if we all ran up to our natural predators and tried to make 'friends.' I can't say I know much about how vampires work in that manner, but it'd certainly get me killed if I decided to 'trust' a wild bear, wolf, lion, shark..." She sighed. "Do you get where I'm coming from?" She furrowed her brows. She actually did feel a bit bad for upsetting him... There was just no way she was going to say "sorry" until she was proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. It would just be too embarrassing to give in and trust him, just for him to later prove her original suspicions right.

"Well....that was a good point.." he spoke calmly, though his gaze continued to be averted. In such a way, it was obvious he was still displeased with the lack of trust. True, he did fully understand the reason--he just didn't like it. He siged, closing his eyes for a silent moment before he decided....not to comment on her twitching away. It was part of her reasoning, after all. Rather, it fit. Perfectly. His gaze was allowed as he'd opened his eyes ever so slightly, looking to the mutt that had decided to desert him and instead take it's place beside it's master. Even so, he raised a hand, petting its head as he continued with his sulking silence.

Mala was silent. Her conscience was getting the best of her--she really felt bad. "I'm sorry," she apologized finally, her gaze focused on his pale hand on Vertigo's head. The big dog lifted her head in response to the pets and started wagging her tail at a moderate speed.

"Don't worry about it." he spoke, keeping his eyes on the dog, the polite phrase gone to waste with the the irritated gaze that combined with the iciness of his voice, most, if not all, little amount of kindness he had out of his face. "After all...fearing the beasts is natural." he murmured, closing his eyes as he stood from his crouched position.

"Oh, come on, don't be like that." Mala furrowed her brows, somewhat irritated by his reaction. "Geeze, so bipolar," she commented with an exhausted sigh. "One minute you're giddy, the next..." She shook her head, though continued to watch his movements carefully from the corner of her eye. She jumped slightly as the computer started dinging loudly again; evidently, Summer had gotten sick of waiting again.

"Well, it's true, isn't it?" he spoke with a muttered breath, glancing over to the computer that suddenly went ballistic with rings. How rude, to interrupt a conversation. He glanced over to the girl and the dog still on the bed, his gaze returning to the persistent computer. Slowly, a thought reeled through his mind...and a smirk appeared on his lips. Like a flicker of dark and light, he was at the computer, quickly typing "This is Dominique. Pardom milady, but at the moment she is a bit....occupied."

((Isn't it Dominic? I think Dominique is the female form.. xD *assuming its a typo*))
Mala glared at him, her annoyance at his sulking attitude easily overcoming the fear of possibly becoming his.. erm.. prey item. "Woah, wait, what're you doing??" She exclaimed suddenly, as he began typing. Somehow, the speed with which he'd gone from one side of the room to the other hadn't even registered in her mind--she was more interested in what he was doing now. "Nooo!" She tripped over Vertigo as she stumbled off the bed, barely catching herself on the edge of the desk before her head could slam into it. "What the hell? That's just mean!" she exclaimed, glaring at him after reading the line of text. "Oh, god," she whined, as, plenty expected, Summer's typed response was WHAAAT??? who's Dominic?? tell mal I want DETAILS, dammit!!! OR ELSE!!! "Oh, god, you as$... You just ruined school for me for the next week," Mala allowed herself to drop to the floor with an almost sickly groan.
A moment later, Will's voice echoed through the door. "Mala? Is everything alright in there?" called the concerned father, as he tapped his knuckles lightly on the door.
Mala groaned again as she sat up. Her response was weak and halfhearted. "Yes... It's nothing..."
Will hesitated, trying to decide which would get him in more trouble with a fickle teenage girl: walking in, or walking away. He opted for the.. erm.. "safer" route. "Okay," he answered, his tone confused. He furrowed his brows as he walked away from the bedroom door.
Inside, Mala now aimed a glare at Dominic. "Butthead," she insulted childishly. At this point, she was pissed off enough that she'd completely dropped her guard, without quite realizing it. "It's like you want me to suffer." She narrowed her eyes, her tone plaintive and accusatory all at once. Above her, on the bed, Vertigo had barely budged, other than having straightened up when Mala had tripped over her.

Dominic gave an accomplished smirk, looking up to the screen, the response generally what he wanted. He glanced over at the girl that shifted with clumsy movements to the computer, a horrified expression as she read the message that resulted in his typing. He would be lying to say that it wasn't an entertaining expression to his ever dulling life. The despair that seemed to play on her face, how long could he find it fun? He snapped out of his thoughts, glancing over to the door where a voice had found it's way through. He fell silent, glancing at the girl before she spoke her own words, ridding the other man the second time around. At the word butthead, he couldn't really contain himself as a burst of laughter escaped him, his frame moving to lean against the wall for support as he shook with the uncontrollable laughter she'd caused with that single term. Hunched, he glanced back at the door, realizing he'd made a noise.....a tone...that would surely cause her some trouble.

Mala glared at him as she stood and marched to the door to intercept her father, who had immediately back-tracked at the sound of laughter.
"What--" Will started, cracking the door. He was interrupted by Mala grabbing the door handle on the other side and sticking her face out at him.
"Do you MIND? I'm busy in here!" The teenager exclaimed, glaring irritably at the unfortunate man.
"Doing what, exactly? I'm worried about you, Mallory, I really am."
"Why? For god's sake, Dad! If you REALLY need to know, I started my period and we're out of pads!"
At this, Will was left speechless. Maybe he did... Blow things out of proportion... "Oh. Uh... Well..."
"Just go," Mala ordered, sparing her father the embarrassing conversation that was bound to follow. She shut the door in his face, and turned around to aim a murderous look at Dominic. "Thanks a lot," she hissed angrily. She felt bad for making her dad so uncomfortable, and was plenty ready to blame it on the snickering vampire.
On the other side of the door, a very upset and confused Will fetched his car keys. "Hey, Spenc, d'ya want to go to the store with Daddy?"
((Well, hey, that actually kinda worked out... They'll have the house all to themselves.. xD))
