Gaston-Louis flew into the night sky above Harlan, trenchcoat flapping like the wings of a mighty bird, and Jason clinging to his legs for dear unlife. Hey, Jason thought, I can see his sword from down here. Gaston-Louis- "Welcome ... to ze night!"

After awhile, the experience somewhat became mellowing yet relaxing for Jason. Seeing the night sky reminded him of some of the happiest moments in his life.
After calming down for a bit, Jason realized Gaston-Louis's sword- it remind him that its ''best to play safe'' while he's alone with Gaston. Especially in a situation like this..Gaston could drop him at any moment. The more Jason thought about it, the more nervous he became.
Out of curiosity, he decided to ask the man about the katana. Maybe it had some history behind it, maybe not." Just wondering, but whats up with the katana? Is it meaningful to you in any way or do you just carry it around?"

It wasn't much of a "test of strength," holding onto Gaston-Louis while he flew. Jason was reasonably strong and his body was lighter since becoming a vampire, plus the flight was in smooth arcs, without a lot of jerking around. The only sense in which it could be a freakout is if he let himself become aware of how high they were - if he looked down.
Gaston-Louis landed them on a rooftop to talk. It was a thirty story building with a sloping roof, but a grain to the surface kept Jason from sliding off immediately. The swordsman sat down beside him. Gaston-Louis- "Ze katana is ze greatest of all swords. It ees made in Kohon by ze master swordsmeethe, folded five hundred times. My katana ees so sharp I can cut off three heads in one blow."

Jason closed his eyes as he felt the wind bush against his cheeks and run through his thick black hair. In a cinematic yet strange way, he felt infinite while standing on top of that thirty-story building. Jason, at the time didn't dare to look down, he continued to look up at the eerie night sky with stars that creeped through the fainted clouds. Even though the roof was slanted, he continued to stand while enjoying the night.
"Three heads in one blow, huh? I'm assuming that you've done that before to prove that theory.." Jason cringed at the thought. So, he decided to change the subject.
"So, from what I've heard, all vampires have their own powers that can vary from person to person. Whats yours?"

Gaston-Louis- "But of course..."
Gaston-Louis- "Ze powers are not so much by person to persons, but from ze family. Sombreta, we 'ave to become a brown bird, become one wiz ze shadows, nothing especial. Become cool warrior, zees will set you apart."

"Alright, well this is going to be interesting. How exactly are you going to teach me how to be a 'warrior'?"

Gaston-Louis- "I confess, I have not done zees before I teach myself. But it eez something that must come from within. Firs', we will find out what you know. We must see you fight. I weel take you to a place whair ze men are queek to fight. You weel fight zem, like so."

Jason nodded his head nervously in agreement. Its been quite time since his last fight, which was in his delinquent days. Back then, he didn't mind jumping some ignorant bystander with the gang. But during time, the fight came to him, now he would be have to come to the fight. Hopefully if things got to rough, Gaston would jump in. He already died once, he wasn't about to do it again."Sounds like a plan. Do you want me to fight with my bare hands or with a weapon? What if one of the guys has a gun on them? I can't dodge bullets..I don't think I can at least," Jason was trying to trust Gaston for the moment even though he barely knew him. Trust was never one of Jason's strong points.

Gaston-Louis- "Let us just see what we shall zee? Hop!"
With little warning, started to fly off again! Grab for him?

Once again, Jason latched on to Gaston's ankle and held on for dear life. This time, Jason wasn't as afraid as before but, he was quite anxious about his upcoming fight. "..."

Jason had to leap to catch Gaston-Louis. If he missed, he'd be sliding down the roof with some momentum, but probably still able to catch himself before the death fall.
It worked! He was dangling on a leg again.
Gaston-Louis took him on high and higher still, to the spaces 'twixt the celestial spheres, where stars collected on the crystal orbs like dew on a dead crow at dawn. Yea, from thence he did fall, plunging into the veriest bowel of the grand city, wherefore the grimiest of grimelords did lurk and wallow.
OK, it wasn't that bad. On the north edge of Songtown, there was a row of low buildings with small textile factories, warehouses, a few banks, and a few restaurants. No one of danger to a scrappy guy like Jason here, just a few homeless sad sacks. Unless all the people of diverse national origins and ages were secret ninja vampire hunters. They blazed with human warmth.
Gaston-Louis dropped into an alley, but let go of Jason ten feet above the ground.
((How would Jason try to avoid injury? Describe what he tries to do & I'll describe the results.))

The drop certainly caught Jason by an unexpected surprise. As he fell, his undead heart dropped as he prepared himself for the possibly deadly fall. To avoid any possible injury, he decided that it would be best to land on the soles of his feet and hands for support rather than landing on his back . Regardless of how he fell, it would be better than landing on his head. Damn, he was quite pissed at Gaston-Louis for letting him go too soon. But he couldn't let his anger overcome at the moment, he had to prepare for the fight.
What was Jason thinking? Maybe going with Gaston was a bad idea after all. Anyone would be furious if they were dropped off in a dangerous part of town during the night. Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to this in the first place.

If that was an attempt to try to activate some cool vampire instinct / power (like throwing a non-swimming kid in the pool), it didn't work. Jason's ankles erupted with pain like gunblasts, and he instantly began to heal without thinking.
A moment later the pain was gone, and he was a bit hungry. Gaston-Louis was still in the alley, but had wandered closer to the street and was looking around... Looked like that was the only way out the alley - the way Gaston-Louis had gone.

Jason began to curse at Gaston-Louis in Svellalish after the pain had quickly passed. As he stood up, he looked around while searching for an alternate route excluding the path that Gaston went- no luck. Since he had no other choice, Jason decided to follow the man down the dark alleyway.

As he approached the end of the alley near the street, amber light licked at his toes. G-L didn't look at him, but asked him a question. Gaston-Louis- "Are you a bit 'ongry?"
