"We can go whenever you want! I love Chinese. Problem is you're hungry again just a little while later." It was a terrible joke, but she laughed at herself anyways. "No really, China is amazing, I'd love to go with you sometime." She was shocked at herself, she had wandered the world alone for so long, refusing to get close to anyone. Now, within what? Maybe thirty minutes to an hour of talking she was offering to take off to China with some boy.
When he took hold of her hand he felt so very warm. Her own were stuck at a freezing temperature for eternity. The warmth felt so good. His excitement made a place inside of her warm as well. His hold on her hands was far too short. "I once met Freiherr von Eichendorff, well in my head I met him. I really just looked at him from a distance." At the time she had been too afraid she would eat him if she got any closer. Plus women just didn't Waltz up to random men in those times and say hello.
She stopped dead in her tracks when he called her flawless. She saw nothing but flaws in herself. Flawless? She was a vampire, a soulless killer. This amazingly sweet seventeen year old boy thought she was flawless and she was full of emotions. People you care about die, they grow old and die. That's why she spent so long alone, but she had never met someone she just wanted to stay with in so long.
She snapped herself out of it. He was naive, didn't know what he was saying. He was letting his excitement of her knowledge blind him to what he really felt. He'll go home to his friends come daylight and realize he hated the dead. How stupid he was to say something silly like she was perfect or flawless. She continued walking, taking a deep breath.
"Good, cause roasted vampire smells terrible."
