Even then. Has someone gotten mad at you for feeling something before?

[pneumo]

Oh, tons of times back before I came to space.

[passingthrough]

What were you feeling?

[pneumo]

That I liked humans... [ And obviously, other vampires weren't really down with that. ] And that I don't really like biting people, or anything like that.

[passingthrough]

I guess vampires didn't take too kindly to that?

[pneumo]

Nah... They're all, "Carmilla, great! Humans, food!" and stuff.

[passingthrough]

Carmilla?

[pneumo]

Ohhh...right, I guess I forgot that part--vampires don't actually like the name "vampires," haha... They call themselves Carmilla! I mean we? Or well. I don't call us that because it sounds kinda silly to me. [ He shrugs with a sheepish sort of smile. ]

They get made whenever I use the "v word."

[passingthrough]

Oh. Do humans use the word vampire?

[pneumo]

Yup! Only humans though~ It's something they came up with after the Carmilla had their name for themselves figures out already apparently. But I learned vampire first so it kinda stuck...

[ And it's yet another reason he isn't usually popular with his own kind. ]

[passingthrough]

Groups should be able to determine their own name. And you're part of that group so... [But she can see why they would have had a problem with him. She wouldn't like it if another mutant was calling them mutie freaks all the time.]

[pneumo]

It's...kinda a super-human thing to do? So when one of us says it it's kinda weird.

[passingthrough]

Super-human? [You're judging weird now?]

[pneumo]

Like...! I don't know how to explain it! But vampires don't call themselves that because it's a reeeeally human thing!

[passingthrough]

You don't have to explain. [She has a feeling if someone else from Sascha's world showed up she'd need to relearn everything about it anyway.]

[pneumo]

Whew...sorry. I'm not really good at all that vampire stuff~ [ That is entirely true. They'd also be a heck of a lot more informative. ]

[passingthrough]

You just have to be good at being Sascha here.

[pneumo]

[ AWWWW, MOM.... ]

O...okay.♥

[She pats his head again. She has no idea her power.] Good.
