Day 390 | Closed to the Kuran Apartment and Neighbors
[Closed to Haruka]

[To be honest, Yuuki slept soundly the entire night through. Probably for the first time in a long time. The day before had something to do with it. Her emotions had been so raw, and by the evening they had worn her out, probably long before her father had felt sleep tug at him. For him, sleeping through the night had probably been strange. But hopefully, after a day of staying awake, the sands of sleep weighed down his eyelids too as he drifted off.

But it's no surprise that as the sun peaks through her drawn blinds, Yuuki's eyes pop open, and once awake, she can't go back to sleep. So instead, she studies the face of her father as he sleeps peacefully. The smooth, beautiful features, eternally young, like a flower forever in bloom even three thousand years later. His appearance is so strikingly similar to that person. To Kaname. The urge to reach out and touch him is strong, but she doesn't. It isn't her brother. It's her father, who loves and even died for her, and she will forever love him as only a daughter can.

Her patience though can barely wait for him to stir. His anklet should have fallen off during sleep, though she doesn't disturb the blankets to check. Instead, she slides off the side of the bed and onto her knees, and props her chin atop her hands upon the mattress and waits. And waits. It's only now, with the monitor off, that she knows he'll get the full confirmation that he needs and wants. That she is truly his daughter.

And so she can wait expectantly.

But if it should take too long, it's really no surprise if she just... happens to reach out and tickle his nose, before her hands disappear quickly, back beneath her chin.

Good morning...]

[Cooking Breakfast]

[The house has expanded, but it's nothing she can't handle! Apron in place, she has one hand on her hip and a mixing spoon in hand as she faces off with the stove top. Now that her father and daughter are here, plus Zero, it's a full house. And she figures that while he usually does most the cooking in the morning, she can do her part too. Especially because, whether desired or not, the two children next door are over for breakfast too. Both should definitely feel as though they're just an extension to the family.]

All right...! It'll be pancakes, eggs, and cut fruit for everyone!

[But maybe someone should help her as she burns through her second batch of pancakes.]

[Breakfast]

[Everyone is gathered to the table, and okay this is fun...!]

Everyone dig in! [Half the food has been cooked by her. And the other half is whatever someone managed to rescue from her. But she's sure everyone will enjoy the pancake shapes and faces she made. Like Ai's pancake. Everyone is free to stare uncertainly at their food (rude), make awkward small talk, or maybe suggest a game to get to know one another.]

[Wildcard

[Maybe everyone leaves to go shopping? Want to interact one-on-one with someone, or something different? Do whatever you like, it's an apartment mingle.]

Yuuki, Ai, and myself. . . we have decided to tell them sooner rather than later. They've hardly been here for even a day; it'll only become complicated the longer we wait. It's not exactly a secret among others here that the three of us are vampires, but the anger and fear Mika and Yuu were expressing towards vampires made us hold off. Although I did express to them that I'm a hunter.

[He frowns a little.]

As for you, just be yourself. If the subject of vampires does come up, just say something along the lines of how you're aware of their existence back home. Comment on how you're [he just barely keeps himself from saying "were"] acquaintances with a hunter. —more importantly, too, try and pay close mind to not let your fangs show.

That's good. I think that's the best thing. Hiding it will do no good, especially if the wardens like to play with us.

[And they should be looked after, by those who genuinely care, vampire or not.]

But all of that, I can do. [His eyes open, gaze steady. He's hidden what he was before, though it feels so long ago now. It's not a problem.] I really didn't want to advertise who or what I am, anyway.

[It's actually kind of peaceful, all things considered. He likes the peace.]

Are you planning to teach them to be hunters?

Thank you. [He genuinely appreciates it.] I can understand keeping quiet about yourself. I had been surprised that others here already knew about me. Although I guess that makes sense. To be honest, I had been here before, and for quite a long time. I have no memories at all of it.

[Peace is about right. To a degree, even after a month, Zero isn't exactly sure what to do with so much free time.]

Actually. . . Mika was very recently turned back in his world. From what the two of them said, it's different compared to ours by a long shot. Hunters kill any vampires on the spot; to say where they're from is strictly black and white would be an extreme understatement. I expressed to them how in my world, not all vampire wish to cause trouble, and would rather keep to themselves, instead of attacking as they please. Neither of the boys could grasp that concept at all.

As for Yuu, though, he did ask me to teach him, yes. Which I told him I can do, but not solely in order to kill vampires, and more along the lines of self defense. Honestly, I wouldn't mind helping them in varying subjects. Even the most basic, and not regarding fighting. Yuuki, Ai, and myself, we really want to be there for them as much as we're able to. They deserve to simply be kids.

Sounds complicated. [It sounds annoying, more like it. People remembering but not knowing himself. There are plenty of things he can see as 'not too bad', but the memory thing sounds like one of the most frustrating.]

Then it's best if you stay near, even if they reject you at first. You know what they're going through most of all, don't you? [A little encouraging smile.] We can show them peaceful vampires, but only you can relate.

[For them, to know it's possible to survive and thrive, to live something of a life, is probably a deep desire.]

With the three of you, they might be all right. Mika's needs are a concern, but you've figured that out, too, haven't you? [Everyone seems to be right on top of it. It's adorable, his daughter and granddaughter and yeah, even the hunter, have all banded together to take care of a couple children in desperate need of their affections. Such good people, they are.]

["Complicated" is only the beginning. Frustrating, too; however it is what it is. He knows that going after the Wardens to give him back all of his memories wouldn't produce anything.]

That's very true. Honestly, it's also how I plan to open the conversation with. [Something which he's discussed with Yuuki already.] There are certainly similarities between Mika and myself, but I know there also are great differences.

Yeah. I have. The Blood Shack isn't the nicest place, but I know he'll be able to find what he needs there.

	It sounds as if you've gotten everything worked out. [Good, good!] There's really little for me to be worried about... [Frown. Children. Children you're too adult. How is a father to cope?] This 'Blood Shack'. Is that how you three take care of yourselves? [It sounds shady.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For the most part, yeah. I'd like to think so, at least. I know it won't be an easy conversation. From then on, though, we'd like to be completely honest with them.

[The don't deserve to be lied to.

. . .Please don't ask that, Haruka.]

Ah. Blood tablets are available here.

[A partial truth? Then again, it's so obvious by now that Zero is covered with the presence and scent of a pureblood— of Yuuki. Whoops.]

That place also has animal and synthetic blood.

You'll do fine. Children will surprise you in their resilience and ability to find the truth. They may be upset at first, but they'll appreciate your honesty so much more.

[He trusts that much.

Also, he will ask that.]

Blood tablets... [He drank from Juri or went without. There was none of that. Ah, but he might have to find an alternative... it's been a very long while since he's held back.]

I suppose it's good such a place exists. [Because he will be watching and he doesn't want to see any of the bloodsharing going on while he's around.]

	That's true. [It'll be okay in the end. They'll get there.] It is. Despite everything else, this place is rather accommodating. Then again, they mean to keep us here for life. [he huffs] As stupid as that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sharenambrella 2016-10-06 06:33 am UTC (link)
	I wonder if they really think they can manage it. [Because they can't, no matter how much they want to.] In any case, I'll take advantage of their accommodations. Is there a zoo? [Virtual... zoo.] Yuuki would enjoy a zoo. [Internal gushing begins at the image of Yuuki at the zoo. Don't you judge him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not taking their word for it. Even just for the normal human lifespan.

[Centuries, though?

Totally not judging. Yuuki at the zoo would be super cute.]

Ah. Not that I'm aware of. Although there's a pet café. There's mostly cats and dogs there, but a few others as well.

[He pauses, though.] There are a number of creatures within Sector Six, however as a whole that area is best kept away from. It's no zoo.
