Those fangs had her attention and Xiaofan nodded in understanding. She had seen a vampire or two in her time, very few of the inhabitants here were new to her but then who was she to underestimate anyone? “I see. The night time is no less important than the day time,” she replied, taking a moment to glance around at those mingling nearby.
Xiaofan looked at the vampire again, offering her hand in an elegant manner. “I have done much more with much less.” Had she known back when she and Jayati were children that she did now she was certain that their village would have survived, that their family would still be together.
“These things are best taken a step at a time. What’s the rush? And I do like what you have here, this place.” It reeked of dusty pages but not of hopelessness. Not yet, at least.
