Another Dance 2: Looking for home. [backdated to thursday//voice]

[storyofapromise]

[It has been a long few days, to say the least. Between being dropped into an unknown world in her pajamas and torn from the arms of her beloved Akira, the vampire princess was more then ready to lay down and sleep for a few days or so. Those she had known during her last stay here had directed her to a vampire named Horst with whom she had lived

[It's taken him a long time to decide how to answer.]

When you lived with me, we shared a room.

[storyofapromise]

In what capacity was the room shared...

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil]

...You were my girlfriend.

[Were. He stammered there, almost said 'are'.]

[Mina sits for a moment in stunned silence. That was certainly not what she was expecting to hear.]

Come again? I don't think that is possible, I have but one love in my life now and forever...

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil]

Akira. You told me about him, but you said that you might never see him again. It was difficult for you, but you--

[He quickly shuts up.]

I see you know of my love. But, please finish your story. I would like to know of any mistakes I may not remember making.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil]

Mistakes?

[Video//Private//Unhackable] sad thread is sad :(

[storyofapromise]

I think I made myself clear. I cannot imagine any circumstance under which I would betray Akira.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] I know ;;

[ahandsomedevil]

You weren't betraying him, you honestly thought you wouldn't see him again.

[Mina calms a bit, though her words are still tinged with a mixture of confusion and anger.]

Very well, I imagine that could drive a woman to do things she normally would not. But, I still wish to hear the rest of what happened last time I was here.

[ahandsomedevil]

You taught me how to be a better vampire. We'd go for walks, we went...camping once. We liked going out to watch the stars.

[He knows that loyalty to Akira was (is, clearly) important to her. But he doesn't know if he wants to admit to it all.]

...We slept together.

[Silence pervades the feed for a few moments as Mina contemplates Horst's words.]

...I imagine that would be common place if things were as you said.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil]

...Yes. But if you went home and came back here, it's-- [He swallows, tries a smile. It's just wan, weak.] It's like it never happened.

Re: [Video//Private//Unhackable]

[storyofapromise]

I'm sorry, Horst. You sound saddened by all this; but I do not know how I feel about all this.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil]

You don't need to feel any way about it, lov--Mina.

You have Akira, I take it. Back home.

Yes, it has been well over a year since he began serving under me. He is a fine guardian and better friend and lover.
