[Arcued ruffles his hair again, but this time, affectionately and with a smile.]

[somnum]

[He steps back again, letting a small "Hey!" escapes his lips.]

What was that for?

[arctype]

I'm happy! I think. [Arc...]

But you're trying to think of a way to say "thank you," already without really saying. That's kind of sweet.

[somnum]

[Wow this turned embarrassing really quick. Noctis rubs at the back of his neck.]

Not really.

[Quick, subject change!]

So what about these guys? You going to leave them here? [The vampires, he means.]

[arctype]

Mm.

[Her tone turns serious again as she looks at the undead she just killed.]

When the sun comes again, their bodies will turn to dust. It won't be an issue.

[somnum]

[Brow raise.]

And if someone stumbles across this bloody mess before then?

[arctype]

[Arcueid flaps her hand at Noctis, dismissing the notion.]

Oh, I've been doing this for a long time. The bodies will start disintegrating as the night goes on and when sunlight hits it they're gone!

[meaning arc doesn't bother to clean up really

look she's an expert]

[somnum]

[He just stares at her, unblinkingly for a moment or two.]

So basically you just leave your mess here for the sun to clean up.

[arctype]

Well... Yes...

... I can't help, but have the feeling that you made it sound like I'm doing a bad thing.

[somnum]

No... not really, I guess. It's just- It kind of reveals more about the kind of person you are.

[A little... air-headed maybe. Yes.]

[arctype]

Oh?

[She stops squinting at Noctis suspiciously and straights up, playing with her hair.]

What kind of person do you take me for Noctis?

[somnum]

[He should have expected a question like that after his statement, but he's not prepared for it.]

Um. You're nice, mostly, when you're not tearing a vampire's head off. You're a little... [how to put it nicely] distracted, sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance to you. Taking things in stride and all that.

[arctype]

[Arcueid looks pleasantly surprised for a second before replying.]

That's a positive impression if I've ever heard one. I'll take it.

[In her own way, she's realized that she likes being liked.]

[somnum]

...Okay. Good. [And Noctis likes pleasing people, or at least making them happy if he can, as much as he won't admit it out loud.]

So, back inside, then? I promise I won't sneak out at night without telling you.

[arctype]

I'll walk you back to my place. I'm going to patrol for another hour or two before returning.

[somnum]

[He nods, and will follow as instructed.]

So this is what you do at night?

[arctype]

Killing the undead? [Arcueid trots along, hands behind her back and nods at Noctis.]

Mm hm! That's what I'm here for.

[somnum]

Is that a job you chose for yourself, or... is it a princess thing?

[arctype]

In a way, I do it because there's really nothing else for me to do or achieve while I'm awake.

[The fact is stated so effortlessly because she's resigned herself to it so long ago.]

You could say that's the purpose behind my existence in the first place.

[somnum]

[He frowns, though he remains a few steps behind her.]

A purpose...? So it's an obligation.

[She kind of made it sound like she basically has nothing better to do.]

[arctype]

If I were to be honest, I shouldn't be staying awake right now.

[Organizations such as the Burial Agency and the Mages Association would be more than enough to clean up after Arcueid is done eradicating the main Dead Apostle.]

So it's a change of pace for me to stick around! I'm glad I did.

[somnum]

Now that you mention it, do you never sleep or something? Is that a vampire thing?

[arctype]

Well, I'm awake all night. But as you could tell already, I can walk during the day freely unlike most vampires. When there's nothing to do though, I tend to just nap until the evening.

[somnum]

[To a man like Noctis, who would sleep all day if someone let him, all he can say to that is:]

Sounds tiring.

[arctype]

Well, maybe to a human. Ah, but I'm not one after all!
