Sister?

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

Since you're "mother" to them. Or do you prefer something else?

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

R-regardless, I am still not a woman . . .

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

[aww, come to my bosom]

I'm only teasing.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

[. . . . . confused!? but allowing that]

Ah—

[hesitantly puts an arm around her?]

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

[oh, this is nicer than expected]

The idea of family seems very nice to me.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

. . .

[hugs her firmly]

Regardless of what you remember—you always will have us if you want us, unequivocally. And perhaps sometimes even if you don't want us.

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

I might not remember anything of the past, but that sounds like the definition of family to me.

Thank you.

[squeezes and lets go]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

Siblings are . . . sensitive for me, even in jest. But—

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

Ah...! I'm sorry if I intruded on something sensitive.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

No . . . it's alright.

It's alright.

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

...Alright.

[falls quiet for a moment]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

[also goes quiet for a moment, but comfortably]

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

[after that passes, she looks at him thoughtfully]

Ne, there's something on my mind.

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

What is it?

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

I'm thirsty. Constantly, almost. And when I saw the blood, well... I kind of wanted to taste it. Dagger mentioned you drink blood, s-so...

[aaahhh, this is an embarrassing concern]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

That's what I was going to speak with you about . . . we suspect you might be a vampire . . .

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

[!!]

Am I like you, then? Can you tell me about vampires?

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

Haah . . . well, there are several different types, even here. Different lores, rules, things like that. Some can't go out in the sun, some can't be around crosses, things like that. Your teeth are fairly sharp, aren't they?

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

They are!

[opens her mouth. fangs, check em]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

[cuts the pad of his own thumb, out of her sight, but checking to see if she notices the smell or changes with it]

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

[instantly alert, her eyes slightly more red than before]

--Royal?

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

You can smell that, can't you?

[lovedinrain.insanejournal.com]

Yes, it smells different from the others.

[her gaze landing where he's hiding it]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

Ah . . . you can even tell that?
