If popular culture has taught me anything these last couple years, it's that vampires make people extra sexy.
Well...yes and no. Sort of depends on whether trading bloodlust for eternally perky tits seems fair to you.
[At which she has to look down at said tits to consider that, and:]/small>
Seems pretty fair to me.

Maybe I should at least wait another couple years, I don't wanna spend the rest of eternity getting carded.

Smart.
[ones peter can appreciate, for sure.]

Occasionally I can make good decisions.
Still not sure we can file 'becoming a vampire' under 'good decisions'.
Hey, as long as I can be the type of vampire that can still go out in the sun, I'm not seeing a downside.
Drinking blood isn't the same as eating people.
[Who does she look like, Hannibal Lector?]
And I don't think immortality would completely suck.

Hey.
[Now she reaches out, taking one of Ahiru's hands in both of hers, running her thumb idly over Ahiru's knuckles.]
You've gotta do what's good for you, too. The version of him that you knew, I'm sure he'd want you to think about yourself, too.
[It's sort of hypocritical advice, but that doesn't make it bad advice; Steph's just sometimes not good at following it herself.
And she'll address the rest of it in a second, she just wants to get that across first.]

Your world mythology may vary.
[he shrugs.]
Maybe not for the first fifty, sixty years. Then it would, unless you turn everyone you give a shit about. Death's a part of life, you're supposed to do it.

The only time I've fought vampires they were actually holograms. I don't think we have 'em at all back home.
[what]
Well, yeah, that part would suck, but-- [she pauses, shrugs again] I think it'd be kinda cool to watch the world change, you know?

Yes and no. Cool in theory, but I'll pass on getting here or someplace like it the long way. I'll squeeze in enough living in the time I've been allotted.
I can't wrap my head around living to like - eighty.
[Thinking about being immortal is easier.]
[Thinking about being immortal is easier.]
But you can do immortality? I donno, eighty sounds pretty good to me. I'd be fine with dying fat and happy with some great-grandbabies.
[She doesn't say that she can only imagine immortality because it would mean she can't die. Even if she does want to stop being a vigilante eventually, it's hard to break out of that mindset where she expects to get killed before she's thirty.]
Great-grandbabies, huh? You might wanna get a start on your own kids if that's the plan.

[he's got a pretty good idea anyway. even teenagers who aren't vigilantes can't usually imagine living to eighty. despite his recent and temporary death--or maybe because of it--peter believes his grandfather's old dream that he'll live a long, full life.]
Not here, thanks. And they'd be wee little great-grandbabies. Gotta outdo Nic somehow.

Ugh, shut up.
[Wee little great-grandbabies.
The face she makes is that of a girl who's suddenly getting clucky at the mention of babies.
Time to focus on something else:]
Who's Nic?

[that's what she gets for suggesting he start making some.]
Nicolae. My grandfather.
Nicolae. My grandfather.
And great-grandkids is the way to do it?
[don't use the b word]
[don't use the b word]
Didn't say there was anything wrong with it, it's just not the first thing that'd come to mind when I think about outdoing grandparents.
[Not that she's sure what would come to mind.]
