What Then?: Oh dear, Mal sleeping next to Polly: how could she ever refrain from copping a feel? Then again, Mal's good at refraining. It's also sort of a problem keeping someone warm when one is cool oneself; but I've written it so myself, and Mal's probably warmer after feeding.
Nit: lose, not loose.

Is This What You Want?: Damn. Oh, Magda. It probably took her a long time, a very long time; if she ever did manage it. And here we have Tilda taking care of her, looking after her, just as gentle as Magda would be with her. <3 Poor them.

She did manage it. Not for quite some time, though...
I think that burning the grey house down may have helped a little bit.

But, mostly, things didn't really have the chance to get particularly hot and heavy between them until around the time they started rescuing little girls from brothels. I think doing that helped her to mend as much as Lofty did. :-)

Re: Mal being cool: She's a very cool cat, certainly, but she's got blood-flow (even if it's slower). She isn't cold and clammy by any stretch. (See, that's the thing: Vampires in my ficverse -- born vampires, at any rate -- aren't *dead* even though they come back from the dead with remarkable ease. Mal has a body-temperature that is above 'room temperature' (20C) by a fair bit. She may not be as warm as Polly (standard, human), but she's up over 30C, I think. :-)

But vampires are supposed to be cool to the touch, and their blood-flow ought to be thinner sometimes, anyway, since they need to help it with addition.

See, I can kind of go with the 'cool to the touch' thing, if only becuase a slower heart-beat means a lower body-temperature (and/or vice versa), but... the thinner blood thing... No. Blood is a good, high-protein food (the kind they've evolved to consume, sort of like mosquitoes), They make their own, vampire blood inside their own, vampire bone-marrow, just like everybody else. :-) (At least that's how it works in *my* head. ;-)
