There is, in fact, if you should happen to direct your eyes towards one of the darker corners of the main bar area, a vampire to be found, though you should also know that he's not alone in the sense that he has both a book and a small puppy of a rather affectionate nature in the general vicinity, not to mention a rather over-attentive wait rat who

But today finds Claudia in the bar. She has a new dress, one especially chosen for her to bring out the bright blue of her eyes. It's more modern than she had been accustomed to wearing, but it was also more grown-up, as many girls' dresses are in the time she now finds herself.

"There's a better view over here," he says, nodding to the seat next to him.

"I promise."
