[arctype]

[She blinks as she takes a plate and napkins to serve the doughnuts with.]

Oh... So the toxin isn't fatal then?

[somnum]

It's more debilitating than fatal. The fatal part of it is how distracted you are when it tries to devour you.

[What a lovely thought that is.]

[arctype]

Good point!

[She brings the pastries and canned drinks over. Arcueid even takes one of the cans and pushes it against Noctis' palm.]

Eat and drink up! If you need to go to the bathroom, don't feel embarrassed to tell me!

[somnum]

[Oop, he clasps his fingers around the can, so that he doesn't drop it. He looks at her in mild surprise.]

I'm not going to be... embarrassed. I'm not a little kid.

[And then:]

...Can you pass me a donut?

[arctype]

I'll gladly oblige.

[And so she hands him a chocolate icing donut with rainbow colored sprinkles.]

And you're really not a kid... I guess in comparison to me though, everyone is young!

[somnum]

[The irony that he is handed the most kid-like donut isn't lost on him.

Still, no complaints from Noct. He takes a bite.]

800 is a long time. I should be calling you grandma.

[arctype]

Hm. I don't know if I'd like that...

[She takes a plain glazed donut and nibbles on it.]

I don't have the experience of a grandmother for one thing. [Arc that's not the point]

[somnum]

That's not what I meant. I meant that you're old enough to be one; and then some.

Well...not that I know if vampires can have kids. But that's not the point.

[arctype]

Well, if you bite a human, they turn into a vampire. In a way, that could be considered a child.

[Please...]

[somnum]

[Absent-mindedly rubbing at his neck again.]

I guess... [He pauses, deciding whether or not he should ask what he's wondering.] Is that what happened to you? 800 years ago?

[arctype]

Oh, no. I was created, but I was always a vampire to begin with.

[Arcueid waves a half eaten donut in the air as she gives the explanation.]

In this world, there are two types of vampires. Those who were vampires from their conception and those who used to be human, but were bitten and turn into vampires themselves. And those human-turned-vampires can bite other humans and that's where the problem really gets out of hand.

[somnum]

[He's already eaten half of his own donut at this point, and a stray sprinkle sticks to his lips.]

So you were "created", by... what? A mad scientist? A... god? [It's such a vague explanation, but he gets the rest of it.]

[arctype]

Mm. I was made by other true vampires.

Don't ask me how. I never questioned it and there's no point for me.

[somnum]

Fair enough, but I'm assuming that's the closest thing you have to family, then?

[He's noticed that it's pretty empty in here, where other people are concerned. Not that she can't just be living independently, but after what she had told him earlier... well, he doubts it's as simple as that.]

[arctype]

Family...

[Arcueid furrows her brows and pops the rest of her donut into her mouth. She swallows and shakes her head.]

Nah. It doesn't work like that.

[somnum]

So you live here all by yourself, then?

[He finishes off his donut, too.]

No one's gonna question why I'm here? Friends and acquaintances, stuff like that?

[arctype]

I have a cat!

[Well... Not really a cat, but...]

Friends, I do have a few. They don't come over to visit often except for one guy. He's probably accustomed to weird stuff because of me though.

[somnum]

[He pauses, trying to parse those words. He has to clarify, otherwise there may be an issue -- actually, he'd probably have to haul himself from her bed to her couch instead.]

A boyfriend?

[What a seriously asked question.]

1/3

[arctype]

[arctype]

[arctype]

Hehe. That's what it would seem like from the outside, huh?

[And what a vague answer. Either way, Arcueid's fondness for Shiki can't be contested.]

1/2

[somnum]

[And Noct just kind of... squints at her, trying to take apart that reaction.]







Uh-huh.

[somnum]

[BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

He hefts himself up out of the bed, straining just a little.]

Think I'm gonna lie down on the couch for now.

[But not before heading over slowly to grab another donut (or two, or three) before he does so.]

[arctype]

Are you sure? I don't sleep at night often if at all so you can keep the bed for the time being.

[Not that she's stopping him from moving. You do you, Noctis.]

[somnum]

Even if you don't, it's still going to look a little suspicious if your boyfriend [sorry, he's calling this mysterious man from now on her boyfriend until otherwise clarified] sees a strange man sleeping in your bed. That's a complication I'd rather not deal with.

[Putting a donut in his mouth and holding it with his teeth, while he grabs two for his hands. What a king.]
