I imagine you would have found your way there eventually, by asking someone who was a bit less of a prat. But you're welcome. [inclines his head]

[wavesofjade]

I might have asked someone else, but I chose you.

[Dolores lowers her eyes to her tea as she takes a sip, and she smiles.]

Besides, I think you're being too harsh on yourself. You could have easily told me to go away.

[grandhighwizard]

No. I really couldn't have. I don't imagine many teenage boys could have managed it. [stirring honey into his tea slowly]

[wavesofjade]

[She blushes softly - no mean feat for a vampire - and looks away with a quiet chuckle.]

And you are still charming. Your suspicion of me was understandable, given the odd circumstances.

[higherthaneverybody]

Merely honest. [Oh, there's an interesting reaction from her ... Rhys finds it rather pleasant, and he smiles to himself.] And I suppose it was, but I was suspicious of everyone at that age, warranted or no. One of my many failings.

[wavesofjade]

[She's always reacted that way to unexpected compliments, and his smile only draws one of her own as she demurely brushes a wisp of hair behind her ear.]

I would not be so quick to call it a failing... but it was a pity, perhaps, that we did not attend school at the same time.

[higherthaneverybody]

My experience might have been considerably different. [agrees, and then wonders if she's flirting with him. Probably not, but it's a curious thought.]

But I believe I missed you by about a year. A little enough gap in retrospect, but still enough to keep up from making each other's acquaintance sooner, which is definitely a pity, yes.

[wavesofjade]

[If she were asked directly she would be unsure if she is flirting with him or not. Every sensible bone in her body would tell her that is a bad idea.]

I shall be content in the fact that we were able to meet at all.

[higherthaneverybody]

[chuckles softly] It sounds as though you believe we have only little time, Dolores. But I anticipate years of mutually worthwhile interactions, mm?

[wavesofjade]

Time is relative, particularly for one such as I.

[Unless someone takes her life, she will likely outlive him, and she knows this. It saddens her, but she knows that it's something she's going to have to come to terms with.

Still, she smiles.]

But you will not be rid of me so easily, I can promise you that.

[higherthaneverybody]

Are you sure? You seem to be one of the few people around here to hold that opinion [teasingly]

[wavesofjade]

You should know by now that I am not like everyone else here.

[She chuckles.]

Especially not when it comes to you.

[higherthaneverybody]

I warrant special consideration? [asks, arching an eyebrow]

[wavesofjade]

Always.

[She gives a small, cheeky smile.]

[higherthaneverybody]

Then I am fortunate. [smirks back at her and then sips his tea]
