Oh, but those are so cool! I've read so much about them in books, and...

And they must be really dangerous in real life!

[rather_be_surfing]

Yeah, they are, and usually not a whole lot like the books, other than the feeding on blood and some of the abilities.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Wow. I had no idea!

You'll probably be right at home on the battlefield, then.

[rather_be_surfing]

A little, yeah. Although digging up monsters is a little different from fighting fellow living beings.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Oh, I see. If you hunt sleeping vampires, that would be different, I suppose.

[Not what he meant, but close enough.]

You need me while we're there, let me know, all right?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Thanks, Derek. As long as I have a clear idea of what we're getting into... I've been in battle before, you know.

[rather_be_surfing]

You have.

[A long pause.]

I'm sorry.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

I had my friends to help me. I'll have friends this time, too.

[rather_be_surfing]

That's good.

[Not that assurance was going to ease his mind any; she sounded young to him...and he was having a hard time reconciling her having been in battle with everything that could possibly go wrong on this particular battlefield.]
