The others like me ...

They're dangerous.

[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.

Do I dare ask about these thoughts?

Only if you wish to have reason to blush.

[She blushes anyway] Well then... let's not ask.

[He ran a thumb over her cheek.]

Seems some things can't be helped.

[She gently takes his hand in hers]

I am still your friend.

[He holds her hand tightly and smiled.]

Can I ask you something rather...intrusive?

Sure. Go ahead.

Can you feel the heartbeat in my hand? Does it tempt you, make you hungry?

Of course I can feel it. Hear it too.

But it is not the vein in the arm that is the worse... it is the one in the neck.

And when we hugged, my neck was pressed right to you ear. How do you restrain?

I restrain because I do not take what is not mine. I restrain because I feed today. I restrain... because I don't know what else to do.

What did you feed on today?

[He's completely captivated by her answers, the hint of fear only lighting his curiosity more.]

Cows blood. I live on a farm. My husband helps me get it.

I can't imagine you cleaning up after animals.

Most of the chores on the farm belong to a farmhand. I work in my art studio. Or at my sewing table.

I like the farm because its quiet. I don't hear the whispers of other minds.

Do you hear them now?

Not many. But a few.

I sense fear. It... excites me.

Fear? Whose? Can you tell?

Yours. But that shouldn't surprise you.

Shouldn't be too overwhelming for you then. Tiny amount of fear from a tiny man.

Vampires are predators. They don't care about the size of their prey. Fear sparks something in me.
