I'd say cross my heart and hope to die but it's not like I can really say that anymore. All things considered y'know. [she's trying to make light lf the situation here.] I'll keep it forever.

[formyownhand]

[She smiles a bit, and nods, but then it fades away and she glances towards the shaded windows.]

I can't say I know what you're goin' through. I know that. But I do know somethin' close... A bit back, me mum got bit by a werewolf.

[nomorals]

[Oh. No wonder there was a faint trace of dog smell on Merida. Marceline pursed her lips together, looking a bit sad for the other girl.]

Wow. I'm sorry, bro. She cool now? I mean, how's she handled getting furry once a month?

[formyownhand]

As cool as can be expected, I suppose. She drinks a potion when it's that time.

[nomorals]

I hear ya. I've been eating blood pops and Professor Rhydderch is gonna help me out with a blood potion supply. Not really the best substitute but they help get rid of the hunger a bit.

[formyownhand]

That's good of th' Professor. I'm, uh, sorry it's not helpin' more, though.

[nomorals]

It's okay. I mean I knew there'd be complications. [She smiles a little.] An older vampire's been helping me out.

[formyownhand]

[Merida nods.] Excellent! That's great t'hear. Is there a secret society for vampires or somethin'?

[nomorals]

Nah. We're not exactly social creatures so it's usually frowned upon for us to mix with each other, let alone mortal company. [She shrugs.] I guess that explains why Ash didn't want me to hang out with any of my friends.

[formyownhand]

Really? Not even other vampires? Huh...

Ugh, what a creep.

[nomorals]

Yeah. I found it kind of weird too, but M...the guy that's helping me out said we're kinda weird in that regard.

Tell me about it. I'm just sorry I didn't leave him earlier.

[formyownhand]

I'm glad ya are.

I wish ya had, too, but what's done is done.

[nomorals]

Yep. Life sucks and then you die and come back to life.

[formyownhand]

You're stronger than that.

[nomorals]

[She'd be blushing if she still could, but she can't so she just offers Merida a small smile.]

Lately I feel like I haven't been strong at all.

[formyownhand]

You'll find it again, though.
