I've never had that problem. I was born sizing up my surroundings. You can do better than them lass. From the sound of it, you already are.

I was abandoned at birth. I guess a part of me still fears being abandoned. Rejected.

I'm April. By the way.

It's the choir you preach to, or have you not taken a good look at me yet.

Tyrion Lannister of Casterly Rock, son of Lord Tywin Lannister.

I see things differently by others. I don't know exactly what you look like... but your aura is strong. Wise.

I am glad we met.

[Tyrion felt himself blush. Didn't know what she looked like? Well that was new and a bit annoying. He didn't wish to explain, but he felt he must.] A wise aura I have, but my body is not nearly as strong.

I have learned a body doesn't need to be strong for a heart to be very strong.

My hearts a bit black, but my mind is strong and healthy enough.

A black heart is sometimes a necessity. It still beats. It still yearns.

And you helped my heart today.

I've never been told that before. I can't imagine what I could have done.

You understood me. It is nice to know I am not alone.

Well, it's nice that my wits made someone happy for once.

Troubles? Can I help?

Can you stop a war? Crown a proper king? Make my father respect me? Hm? It's alright, no one can and there stems all of my troubles.

I could ask my voices for guidance, to aid you on your quest.

A seer? I'll leave my doubts at the door, but I won't ask either. I prefer not to use my friends, few as they are.

The gift that makes me different than the others. But I am glad to make a new friend.

A rarity for both of us, I'm sure. At least one who knows your secret.

I don't much about you, but if you ever need anyone to talk to. I am here.

And you as well. I'll listen to whatever you need say, even if it is about wanting to devour people.

[That makes her give a surprised sob] Most of my friends don't want to talk about my vampire habits.

[He put his hand on her should fearlessly. It's nice to be able to have the reach to do it.]

It's part of you and part I'm sure you have problems with. I fear it not, nor find it disgusting.

[He will be hugged now. Because that is what April does]

Thank you. [Because mostly... her search for others vampires was really an extension of finding someone else to talk to... about the hunger]

[That was a surprise. He went stiff, not out of rejection, but he wasn't used to it. He hugged her back after a moment.]

How old are you, little one?

I'm 21. Was just married about a year ago.

I suppose that makes my thoughts a bit inappropriate still. [He let her go and playfully pinched her cheek.] But take them as a compliment.
