Practically your age, as far as vampires go.

[ ...that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. ]

[rebornagain]

Sure you are.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

"Elderly" for a vampire is somewhere in their thousands, two hundred or so is "young adult." You know basic math, right?

[rebornagain]

There's no way it translates that directly.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Not when we're much older than that, no, but it's more or less right for when we're young.

[rebornagain]

Should I call you a kid instead of old?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Only if you promise to do it at least once in front of Rinne whenever she decides to come over and squint at you.

[rebornagain]

And which one is Rinne?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

She's the one who should get most of the credit for dealing with the guy who had you and the other kids. She likes to drop by unannounced to keep me on my toes; if a woman wearing two cows or so worth of leather and the kind of expression that would scare babies shows up, that's her.

[rebornagain]

So does her expression scare you often?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ looks at him blankly for a few seconds— but then sputters and absolutely loses it laughing ]

[rebornagain]

[just looks positively angelic and by angelic i mean smug as hell]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

That was rude!

[ HE SAYS, SOUNDING DELIGHTED ]

[rebornagain]

You don't seem to mind.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

It was also funny, so you get a pass.

[rebornagain]

Anyway, I'll remember to call you a kid in front of her.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ thumbs up 8Db!! ]

Thanks. You'll get bonus points if you look as innocent as possible while doing it.

[rebornagain]

I always look innocent.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Trust me, you did not look even slightly innocent when you dropped that on me.

[rebornagain]

[he doesn't notice the subtle shift, not as he is. it'll be a while before he realizes what changed, and what's so odd about it.]

Nonsense.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ and Chris, of course, doesn't really have the context to notice at all. ]

You looked like a cat that had gotten into cream.

[rebornagain]

It's hard not to enjoy such a golden chance.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Hey, I didn't say you shouldn't. Just that if you make that sort of face you don't get the bonus points.

[rebornagain]

I'll do my best.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ AND THEN, about an hour and an obscene amount of sunscreen later: ]

Yael, time's up!
