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.
[Steve would facepalm if he wasn't trying not to move as little as possible. Instead he just... sighs.]
Right, okay, for the record: hot air balloons aren't, uh, what you collected back in your day. They were like.... ok, picture a basket big enough for four people, with one giant balloon on top, propelled by fire. And there you are: hot air balloon.
Nadja, you know I love you, but how have you managed this long in the modern world without really being a part of it?
You write your messages on the computer screen and then send them through the Ether to your intended recipient through their email address! What is to understand?
Hey now, I was being serious. There's things I don't know that I ask about. Making origami, for instance. I got a friend who's going to help me with that.

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.
