Day 227 | action; | video
[It's dark, but it hardly makes a difference to a vampire. Only that the amount of traffic is significantly reduced. Which is fine. It's her turn to patrol sector zero, but she isn't alone today.

Sitting against a tree, she hums quietly, before singing a few lyrics to the song she'll have to perform, some time soon, in front of the dome. Not that she's looking forward to it, but she'll be glad when it's over. Nevertheless, it's easy enough to practice when everyone's asleep. Idly her hands stroke a small, orange, furry body nestled within her lap.]

Gathering stars, into my arms
I build up a fragile castle of sand
And utter a tiny pray for all the ones I love

[She returns back to humming, and stretching wide, yawns. She needs to do something to stay awake. Nails brush against the device, and after a moment it flickers on. The light of the screen is dim, but in the screen a couple blue and purple butterflies flutter around her. She pays them little attention, though. Instead, she lifts a small vampire bunny up, and forces one of his little legs to wave to the screen.]

Busa-kun is bored, so we were wondering if anyone's still up. Everyone who hasn't met him yet, for whatever the reason, say hi to Busa.

	Don't be jealous that I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. I might as well use them if I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It takes energy to make them. [Hush. She wants to play with Busa] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-07-16 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I'm aware of that. But to those who don't know that, it looks like you're just doing it so you don't have to do any work yourself. [He pauses a moment before adding.] And you actually use less energy doing it by foot. Someone might think you are wanting to wear yourself out on purpose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Look here, Zero! I don't need lectured by the guy who used to skirt around guardian duties all the time! [And if she cared what people thought, she never would have been a prefect once upon a time to begin with.] I'm aware of my sector and doing my job, thank you very much.

	[Hey, why are you bringing up the past? That was totally different.] I never skirted my duties. I had hunger fits and needed to leave without letting you know. [School was a different story.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really doubt that was what you were doing every time I found you asleep over in White Lily's stall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's easiest to sleep through them. [A beat.] Away from the source. [Hence the sleeping in the stables.] Which you must know or why else did you attack me on the train? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That wasn't because--

[She falters a moment. He doesn't mean her wanting his blood, does he. There was a lot more to that than sating herself. Of course she was thirsty. Of course the scent of him was tempting, but...]

Just... forget that occasion. You were incredibly stubborn, anyway. It really bothered me. [She could tell just how thirsty he was, but despite that he didn't let her help.]

	Why did it bother you so much? [Obviously not forgetting or dropping this subject.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Because I could tell that you were starving! Even though I thought Zero's thirst might have been somewhat curbed [After-- well, after the incident with Ichiru] I was really concerned.

[She sighs, eyes closing as though this should be more obvious.]

Besides, I know how horribly painful it is to be denied or go without blood for long periods of time. It's maddening. In the end though you still outright rejected it, and I didn't want to force you.

[But it was such a frustrating feeling to know she could make a difference and yet not be allowed to.]

	You had no intention of staying around. Why would I want to do that to myself all over again? [It might hurt her, but at least he's honest about it. That was the reason why he refused everything.] I was dealing. Maybe not in the best way, but getting through those first few months... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-18 03:27 am UTC (link)
	[He told her what he did to survive in the meantime, so she remembers clearly. But even so...it's sad and a little painful to think about. For a moment, she's quiet.] I was surprised you followed me to begin with. I couldn't figure out why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-07-18 04:06 am UTC (link)
	I wanted answers from him. [Yet another thing denied to him by her stunt. Even if he got the answer in his own way here, he'd probably never get that back home. Nor would he ever know it was something he wanted.] I also wasn't going to let you go out there alone, knowing what I did about what he'd planned for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-18 04:20 am UTC (link)
	[Mention of that just draws her silent. Hearing it like that twists her heart. He wanted to try and protect her memories and what she was. Meanwhile she erased his. What can she say to that. Staring down at Busa's fur, she gently draws him closer to her.] I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-07-18 04:34 am UTC (link)
	[Can they just not--not right now? Consider them even. At least here. For now. Zero tries to change the subject.] So...Sam asked me to guest lecture for him tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-18 04:49 am UTC (link)
	[... That gives her a moment of pause.] Really? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-07-18 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Why do you sound wary about that? [Such doubt you have.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-07-18 05:03 am UTC (link)
	It's not that I'm wary... [Maybe a little-] I'm just surprised. [She wonders how the resident vampire population will feel about that.] I think you'll have to handle the subject delicately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[So does he, but most of the vampires were not here before his absence in the facility so they only know him as he is now. He's not so outspoken about everything.]

So providing a list of names and a rundown of their individual world is a bad idea?

[Yes, he's teasing you. Have a little faith here. Even at his worst, he wasn't prone to releasing personal information out.]

	Ha ha ha [Oh he's the regular jokester.] Just don't... vilify the species. I know we're predators. I understand that completely, but if people only hear the negative, scary parts about us, then that wont do anyone good, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He knows. He's learned that much about everything over the last few years. Even if he's made mistakes and knows the things he's done can't be forgiven--he's at least taken a few lessons from his experience.]

That's...not exactly what I'm concerned about. Stuff has...come up recently that I should probably tell you about. Things that happened here in the past that you don't remember.

I plan on going over some of it in class.

I didn't really want you to hear it for the first time there.

I'm on my way. Just wait a minute and we'll talk when I get there.

[Because she's not the only one patrolling tonight, he makes his way to her side quickly, stepping into view within 30 seconds.]

We've actually had a number of people from our world during our stay here. I don't know how many of them you know about.

President Cross
Ichiru
Wakaba
Aidou
Kaname Kuran
Atkatsuki
Souen
...Rido Kuran.

[It doesn't surprise her when he appears at her side. Just moments before he moves from the shadows, she senses his presence. Neither are trying to hide from the other after all.

The list is long. She's heard about all of them. All except for...]

Uncle...Rido was here?

[A pit forms in her stomach, throat becoming tight. There is no good that can come of her uncle's appearance anywhere.]
