Darling, how do you expect to get out of here if you can't trust me with the truth?
Ah. Yes. Well, it is difficult, to have one's no-longer-boyfriend here on this ship, bonding with you. Perhaps it is better you kill him once and get it out of your system.
Sorry. I don't want him hurt. We are still friends. The bond is a bothersome annoyance, nothing more. I'm telling you now so you're aware how deeply we're connected to each other.
And. It wasn't anything against you, Nadja, for why I didn't tell you before. I thought this sort of thing was private, like saying who dominates who in the bedroom. Clearly, as Godric so gently informed me, I was wrong about blood.
The witches from your world and mine should form a coven.
Actually, on second thought? Maybe not. The witches from mine were hell-bent on forcing us to all walk in the sun. Fucking Necromancy...
Um. Anyway. Since we don't have witches here that can do that spell you mentioned (that I know about), I'm thinkin' we gotta hedge our bets on the Admiral.
Hmmph! The witches in mine are all entirely focused on stealing semen. They routinely have kidnapped Laszlo and used his sperms to make their dark potions and prolong their lives.
Yes, I'm afraid so. Better him than witches, I think. I will go and ask.
Sex is fine. I don't mind it except for when he is more romantic. I don't want him to compose his sweet words or let him call anyone else my nicknames but me.
Well, I don't think you have that power, but we can go flying in our human forms! I am very strong and I can simply lift you up in the air alongside me.
Wow, okay. Next order of business, we're watching Disney. It's gonna be great.
I'll be there!
[He's there in ten minutes, having nothing to change, and even left his hair free of product tonight. He leans back against the guard rail as he waits, watching the stars.]
Here - I will put my arms around your waist and hoist you up like a little kitten.
[Thankfully, vampire strength in Nadja's universe means that weight ratio is apparently not really much of a thing. She turns Steve so that his back is facing her chest, and then gently begins lifting them both up into the air]
There you go! That's it now. I am very glad you're not scared of heights like my Jenna.
[He moves where she leads, even holding his hands out away from his sides a little. When they begin to ascend he grins, watching the barge get smaller and smaller.]
Nope, that's not a phobia I ever had to deal with. Used to love hot air balloons, but couldn't ride in them often.
Is this something that took you a while to master?
Oh, yes. I know balloons. I used to go down to the village freak show and fight my brothers and sisters for the chance to hold the balloon we got to share between us.
[Nadja swoops carefully, cautious about not dropping Steve. Too many accidents and near accidents for her to want to damage this precious cargo]
Not very long. I think humans always want to know how to fly, so that is one of the first things we teach ourselves as vampires.

Re: [Text]
Date: 2020-12-17 01:55 am (UTC)From:Yes. In all the ways possible. I'd be compelled to try and save him, remember? Not that I would give in.
Hurt him just a little bit, but please, don't kill him?
Unless it's unavoidable.

Re: [Text]
Date: 2020-12-17 02:47 am (UTC)From:Why *would* they need to trick him? I know I should drop it but now I'm curious. No offense intended, but y'all got a pretty open relationship.
Things are more or less back to normal. The ship is the same tedious monotony as before but it doesn't seem to bother me as much. At least for now.
