[Just one, short, terse question:]

What's so great about love anyway?

[Action; Elementary School]

[There is a little girl in a floofy pink dress picking at her lunch and looking generally discontent. Approach?]

action,

( ( Spain is on cafeteria duty today. He's watching the children and making sure they don't start any trouble. ) )

Not hungry?

action,

[redthenightless]

Not particularly.

[The look she gives him adds, "And what business of yours is it if I am or not?"]

[pasodoble]

Ah, that's no good. Is it the food? ( ( Looking over to see if it's one of the school lunches. Also, forever oblivious to what that look means. ) ) I don't like the food here very much either.

[redthenightless]

Neither do I, but that has little to do with it.

[pasodoble]

Oh? What's wrong? Long day?

[redthenightless]

No, though going from nocturnal to diurnal makes any day seem long.

[pasodoble]

A night owl, hm? ( ( Totally thinking she just means she likes to stay up late. ) ) That can be a problem. . .

[redthenightless]

No, a vampire.

[She's not a bird!!]

[pasodoble]

I guess that's another way to say you stay up late.

( ( silly girl vampires aren't real.

right? ) )

[redthenightless]

No, I'm saying I'm a vampire, you foolish human.

[pasodoble]

Sí, and I'm a na--

[pasodoble]

Really?

[redthenightless]

Yes, really.

[pasodoble]

A-ah. . . hahaha. Ah, I almost believed you for a moment. This is for what's it called? Halloween, no?

[redthenightless]

No, you fool, it's not for any silly holiday. I'm a vampire who has spilled the blood of hundreds.

[pasodoble]

But you don't look like the type to get into fights.
