I think I'm just really good at bad break ups. Other people manage it. Maybe it's a new mutant power.

That's not a very lucky power to have... But at least you had them right?? Isn't there a say about loving and losing or something?

It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Yeah, I hope so. Hate to think all that time was a mistake. But...one of them enjoyed killing. [All three had killed, but for Tyki it was an art. A pleasure.]

Something I should have known better about.

Oh. Um... Well! Sssome...vampires like doing that too. So!

[ ....Is that supposed to cheer her up good lord, why did he open his mouth ]

But not you and you don't get along with other vampires like you, right? [Are you trying to tell her you do like killing after all because she can revisit putting you in a wall]

Well...no. [ No please, he doesn't need a wall! He'll behave )8 ] They think I'm weird. When I meet some we usually only hang out for a tiny bit.

Why do they think you're weird?

Um....well. When I first woke up, all alone and stuff? Humans were the ones that found me and looked after me! So at first I thought I was one of them and stuff...so I act more like them than a vampire, and other ones can tell.

You've known for awhile though, haven't you? Could have changed if that's what you wanted?

Well....yeah, but being a strong vampire isn't really that important to me.

Because not being alone is important to you.

Yeah...

Is that dumb?

Smartest thing I know.

[ That's definitely the first time he's heard anything like that about himself, wow. ]

.....

You're being really nice to me today.

Did you think I was mean?

No way! But...you wouldn't hold my hand before, and now you're even saying a lot of sweet things...

They aren't sweet. They're just true.

But no one every tells me this stuff, so it's really special for me...

Then I guess it's a good thing you came over today.

...You can do it again sometime.

R, really??

Yeah. Sure.

We're friends, right? [She doesn't like the way he seems so grateful for every scrap. He should have more than that.]

[ Should, but doesn't yet. Even tiny shreds of attention or kindness, even annoyance are precious treasures to him. He covets them all equally, but being told he has a friend? That's way higher a tier than he's ever considered, and he stares in surprise for several long seconds--before nodding, speechless. ]

Are you okay?

I...y-yeah. I'm fine. [ Sniffle. ]

[Oh, Sascha... She stops walking not that they were going very fast as it was and she steps in to hug him.]
