Enter Bruce. Who immediately spots the Christmas tree.

"Christmas? Christmas!"

He is very pleased with this. For the moment.

She thinks, counting. "Twelve."

She smiles. "Not long at all. We never did exchange names, did we?"

Bruce shakes his head. "No. I'm Bruce."

She smiles, holding her hand out to him. "Pleased to meet you, Bruce. I am Mina Murray." Her hand is ice-cold, naturally.

Bruce shakes her hand, and then looks at her a little oddly. "Are you cold?"

He's trying for tactful.

She smiles. "Bless you, Bruce. No, I am a vampire."

"A vampire? For real? Do you drink people's blood?"

And tactful goes out the window in favor of curious.

She smiles. "Not often. And certainly not here. Valentine supplies bottled blood for me to drink. Even back home, I fed mostly on animals, because I don't want to hurt people."

He nods solemnly. "That's good." She's gone up a few hundred notches in his list of good people just for that. "Nobody should hurt other people."

She nods back. "I agree," she smiles. "Are you related to Snow White?" She responded quickly enough to his distress - it's possibly a natural question.

"Not really. She just looks after me when I'm here."

[identity profile] ms-w-harker.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, is she a friend of your parents, then?"

[identity profile] mynameisbruce.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce looks very resolutely at the floor. "No."

[identity profile] ms-w-harker.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to bring up something painful."

[identity profile] mynameisbruce.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
"You didn't know." He braces himself, just a little. "My parents are dead."

[identity profile] ms-w-harker.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Snow White seems an excellent surrogate."

[identity profile] mynameisbruce.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"She is. Cordelia is, too."

[identity profile] ms-w-harker.livejournal.com 2004-12-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
She smiles. "I haven't met her. But I will trust you are in good hands."
