[He gets out his own guitar and begins tuning it and smirks.]
Ahhh if you're going that route I'm partial to Fangs For The Memories myself.

[nomorals]

[That makes her laugh a little. Boy, does it feel good to laugh.]

Wow, talk about bad puns.

[marshall_lee]

Hey, you started it.

[He sets the guitar in his lap.]

So...how are things? Holding up okay?

[nomorals]

And I'm finishing it. It's too early for bad puns. Or is that late since we usually sleep during the day?

[She shrugs, plucking at a couple of strings on her own.]

I'm okay. I'm a bit worried about going to school so soon though.

[marshall_lee]

...good question. I've been trying to stay up the past week so I don't look even more like the living dead.

[He looks over and smiles. Impromptu jam session? Yes please.]

You'll be fine. Professor Rhydderch will keep us supplied with the blood potion and trusth me, that shit helps a lot. Everything else...I've got your back.

[nomorals]

[Impromptu jam session is good by her. She smiles back.]

Thanks. It's really good to hear that. I know a lot of my friends are behind me but I don't know what I'd do if I hurt one of them.

[marshall_lee]

[Awesome. He begins working on a harmony with her.]

I think it's less likely to happen than you think. Not wanting to hurt people puts you quite a few steps above a lot of other vampires. It'll be hard..I'm not gonna lie there..but you can do it.

[nomorals]

[Oh you.]

I think I'll be able to do it even better now that you're around.

I'll try my best. Try not to think about it too much though okay? Just keep doing all the things you liked doing before. [He paused for a moment before adding:]
No matter what other people say...we're not monsters. Okay?

[nomorals]

[It takes her a minute before she nods, a look of relief flooding her face. Wizard-written books about vampires don't do good for one's mind.]

...Okay.
