For real?

[stakesthesame]

... yeah. Drove me crazy for a bit too, when I still mortal. Cuz I hadn't "paid a price".

All those memories I got, killing the vamps? Feel real weird, like all I wanted was power, y'know? Just power and to kill them all.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...jesus. That sounds awful.

Were you okay?

[stakesthesame]

Ha! Clearly not, cuz I'm still like this a thousand years later!

[ a pause, sobering a little. ]

... but I paid my price. So I'm not as wacked out as Magic Man or the Ice King. And so far as I can tell from my memories, I'm pretty content being the Vampire Queen. So I ain't lookin' for more power or nothin'.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...what'd you have to pay?

[stakesthesame]

[ expression evening out, staring at the ceiling. ]

Well... I'm a vampire. I can't eat food, I can't go out in the sun... immortality's it's own curse, too. I'll never be human again.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hesitates, then reaches over to take her hand and give it a squeeze.]

[stakesthesame]

[ ah. squeezes back. ]

I'm good.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You sure?

[stakesthesame]

Good as I can be.

It is what it is. Can't go back and change it. Re-experiencing it all again sucks, but... y'know.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. S'just how it goes, I guess.
