"My, my. Look at what the cat dragged in. Good evening miss Joan. Did you sleep well?"

Any apprehension left in the vampire's manner gave, fully, at the sight of the other woman's smile. "You soun' like a friend 'a mine," she replied, eyes glinting briefly as they caught the light. "I did -- bes' I could with so much excitement on the horizon." It'd been a good while since she'd had the time, let alone the friends, to socialize with.

Well golly, had I not known better, that coulda almost sound like a threat rather than a warnin'...

⨳ He smirked, just enough to show a promise of a sharpened canine ⨳

We would be like this 🙂‍↕️💜

It is such a pleasure to finally be able to meet you. I was just wondering if perhaps you would like to be friends. Perhaps you would like to come by for some tea later?

But just don't bring your husband yet, alright? This is girls' only kind of affair~"

A pleasure? Li' ol' me? The vampire seemed halted in her tracks, torn, blinking, between sincere surprise and - well, healthy skepticism. It'd been a long time since someone outside the hive wanted to fraternize (granted, it wasn't very often she and her husband weren't a packaged set...)

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep."

⨳ He recited, smiling, and gesturing with his opened palm. ⨳

I'm gon' politely pass on those, but...

Ain’t that my Joan’s new friend? What ya doin’ all alone here after dark? Lots o’ dangerous creatures wander ‘round these parts, ya don’ wanna get ya’self in trouble…

⨳ He asked, as his firefly eyes glimmered in the shine of the moon ⨳

"Of course not. What kind of terrible host would I be if I were expecting you to do any work? Do not worry, my darling. Everything will be taken care of. You just get yourself dolled up. All I want is to do is to see your lovely face. Just don't forget about me, alright? The sun is about to go down very soon"
