(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

:Truly someone to look up to.:

[NOT ACTUALLY DENYING IT IF THAT'S WHAT FLOATS KEI'S BOAT, just. amused]

He's just— really, really cool.

[Kei likes bad boys, noted]

:What was his name, again? Perhaps I should go to see if he's as exciting to watch as you make him sound!:

[well! well!!]

Uh, Loki. I ran into him taking a walk so uh, might not be the most exciting to spot.

[gravely]

:I'll look for the crowds of fans-- like a famous actor in front of his playhouse.:

Yeah? Gonna follow the sound of swooning?

:Please let me know exactly what swooning sounds like, so I can be sure to get it right...:

Would you like that with or without the overwhelmed fainting?

:You're more experienced with the situation-- I'll let you be the judge.:

With fainting it is!

[CHUCKLING]

:Goodness. I needed that.:

I am glad to entertain.

:I'm glad you met your hero. Anyone else interesting come along? You mentioned...:

[they're probably near the breakfasty wall of mall shops by now]

[can horses eat waffle dippers, probably]

Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah! I met this guy, turns out he's a vampire? Also French? But anyways, great guy.

:Oh, that sounds lovely. Explain both "vampire" and "French"?:

[god he's so cheering and normal and not having a breakdown, she loves him]

France is a country in Europe on Earth, and a lot of people think the French language sounds romantic. Vampires have a lot of different versions in folklore and pop culture, but most all of them drink blood.

:Blood!:

[startled]

:I suppose I know of some demons who do, but none who speak in tongues most humans would understand.:

[and probably evil wizards, but they don't GOTTA]

Traditional vampire lore says they used to be humans, but they were either cursed or killed by a vampire, and rose as a vampire themself after death. There's a lot of modern variations, but they're still either originally human or a species close enough to be disguised as human.

:That's... a very strange legend. And they drink blood? They sound quite dangerous.:

[slows down, looking at the breakfast places :|a did u bring us here because u were hungry]

Oh, yeah, but this guy was fine. I fed him and I'm fine.

[breakfast is good and important especially after minor blood loss and sleeping in the woods]

:Fed him-- your blood? Oh, Kei!:

[not like, SUPER FREAKING OUT but deffo mom concerned]

:Are you sure that it was all right?:

[rolling up his hoodie sleeve to show where his arm is bandaged]

Don't worry, it was cool, it was fine. See? He gave me first aid for it and everything.

:That was very polite of him.:

[DUBIOUS BUT OKAY]

:...this place still reminds me how strange it can be...:

[flaps his sleeve back down with a shrug, finally angling towards one of the breakfast joints. whatever a pancake popper is, it sounds trendy and delicious and he's getting a dozen]

With how many different people are here, we're all strange to somebody.

[waits with him in line with her head over his shoulder to see what pancake poppers are]

:Wise words. People would probably think Companions are strange even at home, if they weren't so very used to us! Outside of Haven, many still do. And I don't want to know what they think of me here.:
