No, one of them is on my team.

[Probably. She knows a Homestuck one.]

Along with a vampire and a Miqo'te, so I'm a bit alarmed.

Nothing to worry about. I don't bite.

[Ho, ho.]

... Doesn't not biting make you go slowly insane?

Everyone thinks that. It's rude to stereotype.

Uh, sorry? Just, it's happened before, so...

[She laughs, low and good-natured.]

It used to. I'm on other stuff now. A more politically correct addiction.

... What?

Engineering.

[No, really.]

... I. I don't think that's how that works?

I'm glad you know so much about me.

I mean. Isn't it food? You can't just decide you can build shit instead of eating.

That's not how it works, where I come from. There are people who use politics instead of blood. Engineering makes a lot more sense than that.

What.

[An effusive shrug. SHE DOESN'T KNOW OKAY.]

[She doesn't appear able to process this...]

[Mal just laughs.]

Sorry. Vampires are stranger than fiction would have you believe.

Believe me, it's not fiction that has me confused.

Ah. Well, we are supposed to be very mysterious, so. Sorry about that.

[No, Mal, you're just dumb and weird.]

That's definitely not how I'd describe the ones I met.

How would you describe them?

A reckless dumbass?

. . . That also sounds fairly accurate.

With a hero obsession.

That's new.

Bluebird was full of surprises.

Surprises and idiocy.

[But when she says it, it's said very fondly, and she's... well, it sure looks like she's blushing a little bit. Weird, right?]
