[whenever val wakes up presumably!! lune will be in the library, looking over the copy of twilight that they've been given, and look up when val approaches]

Did you make these notes yourself?

[omegathree]

[He yawns. It's a weird feeling to pass out for a full day, and the lingering tiredness? Bizarre. He takes a seat near Lune.]

Of course. Have you met many other vampires here?

[cyclists]

No, but there is always the chance that another might think themselves an expert.

[people are just like that?

regardless lune will continue to flip through the pages]

Do you recommend this book? I am receiving many to parse through lately.

[omegathree]

I only know Grim Eyes is aware of vampire squashes. Not demon vampires.

[He hums thoughtfully.]

The romance isn't good, and the details on vampires aren't correct either. However, it was written by a human. If you view it through that lens perhaps it may be of use.

[cyclists]

Oh? Do you still consider me human?

[lune sounds excited at the prospect]

[omegathree]

I can't tell unless I smell your blood.

[Wait.]

Don't start bleeding on purpose.

[cyclists]

I do not know why you would presume that would be my first course of action.

[omegathree]

I know some odd people at home.

[Val, you are the odd person.]

Regardless, I have little reason not to believe you aren't human.

[cyclists]

Oh my, I wonder why that is...

How amusing.

[omegathree]

I'll admit I haven't spoken to you as much as your counterpart. Perhaps that's part of it.

[cyclists]

At the very least, I am glad that you are attentive to him. He is a kind child.

[omegathree]

I've grown quite fond of him over the weeks we've been here.

Sometimes he reminds me of the teenagers I have under my care.

[cyclists]

Certainly you have excellent taste then - do you miss your charges?

[omegathree]

Of course I do.

[They're his kids now!]

It's strange not to see them every day.

[cyclists]

Ahaha, then all the more reason why I hope to return you to them sooner rather than later. I am sure they wish to see you again as well.

[omegathree]

I hear they're frozen in time while we remain here. As much as I miss them, they aren't aware I'm missing.

[cyclists]

[there is just a gentle laugh at that]

You have a very straightforward way of viewing things.

[omegathree]

Yes, I've been told that before. Do you think it's odd?

[cyclists]

It feels like an oddly human trait, for someone who is not human.

[omegathree]

I don't have a reason not to be straightforward. I tend to prefer it.

[cyclists]

Yes, so I'd gathered.

[can't relate but it's fine]

[omegathree]

You aren't. Is it because of the universe, or is it a personal choice?

[cyclists]

To some degree, I am restrained in what I am able to say when I would like to be clearer - but aside from those moments, I cannot say as though it is a choice for me to speak in a certain manner. It is simply how I have been.

[omegathree]

Hm, so the universe didn't change that about you.

[cyclists]

[there is another soft laugh]

No, it did not.

Rather, the young one and I are remarkably, very much ourselves.
