The Log:

( yuki had called up the captain to check up on him and was waiting where they said they would met up with an umbrella in hand. while most vampires would shriek at the thought of even staying up this late, heck even venturing out in the sun, yuki didn't mind it at all. she's always enjoyed the sun, even if it strained her eyes slightly.

so with food in hand and her communicator near, she waited for him. )

[Small smile.] Enjoy sleeping in?

[He sits down next to her, placing his sketch pad next to him.]

Water will do.

[flourisher]

Vampires sleep during the day, since our senses are more hyped than that of a human, the sun hurts our eyes if we stare into it.

( she hands him a sealed glass full of water. )

I'm glad you're using the notebook I gave you. Do you need more paper?

[itsfondue]

Is it difficult being a vampire?

[He takes the glass with a quiet thank you.]

Oh, no thanks. Got more than I need here.

[flourisher]

I um...

( she's never been asked this before. )

Sometimes.

( she reaches for a sandwhich in her basket and bites into it, fangs first. )

[itsfondue]

Do people give you trouble for it?

[He grabs a sandwich and bites into it as well.]

[flourisher]

No not really, I mean I don't go around biting people. Actually the last time I drank blood was back home.

( lies. she drank tatsumi's blood and spit it out. )

Do you like the sandwhich?

[itsfondue]

[Small smile.] The very few movies I watched about vampires weren't accurate. [Not that he was expecting them to be accurate anyway.]

I do, it's good.

[flourisher]

What do they say about us? Even though I was born a pureblood, I was turned into a human for most of my life, even then I didn't watch those kinds of movies.

[itsfondue]

Well, in Dracula, he didn't have a reflection in a mirror, could transform into a bat, and often fed on people's blood.

[He lightly chuckles.] It was a scary movie to many people.

[flourisher]

( she looks up slightly and thinks. then yuki quickly turns to him and opens her mouth, sticking her fangs out to him. )

Booo....~ Do I scare you?

[itsfondue]

[Steve blinks, not really expecting her to do that. However, he soon grins, unable to stop himself.]

Sorry, not quite feeling it.

[flourisher]

Should I be more scary then?

( this time she speaks more seriously and stares at him. then she stands up and leans down over him and shows her fangs. )

Do I scare you now?

( after that she can't help but laugh. )

[itsfondue]

[He blinks, watching her for a moment before letting out a laugh as well.]

Keep working on it.

[flourisher]

( she nods then sits back down. yuki finishes her sandwich. )

You know I don't mean to scare people.

[itsfondue]

Glad to hear that. [He grabs another sandwich, don't mind him. He's a little more serious this time.] This place is already desolate enough without people bullying each other.

[flourisher]

I...Steve....

( yuki looks at him softly and places a hand gently over his shoulder. )

Are you being bothered by anyone? You can tell me. Or is it what Tatsumi did to me? I promise all he did was dye my hair and make fun of me a little.

( the rest was just...pervy. )

[itsfondue]

[He looks a little concerned about her admission. He hasn't been bothered by anyone, but still.]

What he did, I just don't like bullies.

[flourisher]

Would it be rude of me to ask why? You seem to be so passionate about it.

( yuki pulled away and then looked up at the sky, ignoring the stinging from the sun. her eyes held a dull flame to them. )

[itsfondue]

I used to be a little guy, routinely beat up cause I couldn't keep my mouth shut. [Has an almost dry smile.] Bucky said that I liked being punched.

[flourisher]

( yuki turns to him in an angry trance and then feels her palms glow as her fingers sink into them. )

T-That's horrible! Your an amazing person full of kindness and nothing but love! How could they do that to you?

( and then tears pour. not only for him but for all her friends. as usual she's ignorant of the suffering they carry and can do nothing to heal them. first sora, then turkey, and now steve. she could erase those memories for him or lock them but she doesn't dare bring it up; she knew that he would refuse.

also all those emotions she's feeling just caused the glass that was used for water to shatter. she should really control her emotions. )

[itsfondue]

[He looks a bit surprised at her reaction.] I-It's okay, really! [Oh gosh, now he made Yuki cry. WHY IS HE SO BAD AT SPEAKING WITH WOMEN.]

[But now he's concerned about the glass that shattered in her hand.] Yuki... your hand, can I see it?

[flourisher]

No it isn't. It breaks my heart to see such a wonderful person being abused like that.

( while the tears stop, she stares forward angrily. yuki then opens her palm in front of him and lets the glass fall. while the wounds healed quickly moments ago, blood remains. )

[itsfondue]

[He seems a little embarrassed by the compliment.] It was a while ago. [Well, just a few months really.] Everything's okay now. [Except not, but he doesn't want to upset Yuki further.]

[He inspects her palm and takes out a cloth to wipe the blood. Afterward, Steve gives her a small smile.] I appreciate your concern, but don't want you to get hurt over this.

[flourisher]

Well I can get hurt all I want see...

( and she blushes! she's never been cleaned before by another person. )

I heal and it doesn't hurt unless the wound is really deep or if you cut off my arm or something.

[itsfondue]

[Speaks in a quiet, but serious tone as he continues to wipe the blood.] Even if you can, doesn't mean you should.
