Re: Life Used To Be So Simple.... <3

"Its not that simple, I don't think." Genevieve set the handkerchief aside and folded her hands to hide the shaking. "We've been talking about it, Jean-Claude and Amaryllis and I. What she can do, is so much more than instantly killing someone by a mundane reason. It kills every part of you at once. Not a heart attack or - or that brain thing where you drop dead. Deeper than that."

---

"I just rather fancy that I know my childhood home better than you," Jean-Claude shrugged, arms automatically moving to hold onto Lloyd.

"So you're risking death and being away from Jared and Isabelle for some experiment?"
_____

Lloyd snuggled up into his father

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 7 Jun - 10:10

"No. We didn't realise until today, but I've already been trying for days, huh?" Genevieve gave a self deprecating laugh. "Look how well that's turned out. I just want Amaryllis to be happy."

---

"How you doing, buddy?"

Vampire-Apprentice Sun 7 Jun - 10:46

"You should have waited until Alexander came back."
______

"I'm okay daddy, I'm going to be a big brother soon."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Sun 7 Jun - 22:53

"We didn't know when that was going to be, and look at Amaryllis. She's been steadily getting worse, pulling away from, from us and..." Genevieve sighed, dabbing her mouth again.

---

"Do you want a little sister, or a little brother, hmm?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 2:03

"Jared got news from hs brother, he wil be here within the week, that's what he's been trying to tell you but none of you listened to him."
__________

"A little brother." He beamed

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 4:36

"I don't think Amaryllis would have made it that long."

---

"Then lets hope for the best, hmm?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 4:56

"This isn't any better, believe me."
___

LLoyd beamed.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 5:12

"This will pass." Genevieve waved her handkerchief absently.

---

Jean-Claude kissed his head. "And how is school, young man?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 5:18

"It's fine...There's a lot of new people joining and there's this girl...She's really smart and funny, she sits next to me..." As he spoke t was obvious that he had developed a crush.
______

"Are you sure?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 5:29

Jean-Claude smiled softly, choosing not to comment on it in case it made Lloyd uncomfortable or embarrassed.

---

Genevieve waved a hand dismissively. "The fact I'm not already dead is a testament to that. Can't exactly go around turning everyone into vampires just to appease Amaryllis though."

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 5:33

"It's not a bad idea."
______

Lloyd continued talking about the girl.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 5:42

"It sounds like a recipe for anarchy, actually," Genevieve laughed weakly.

---

"Have you got a name?" Jean-Claude finally asked. "Someone we know?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 5:52

"Yeah, but who doesn't love a bit of anarchy every now and then?" Coraline smiled.
______

"The butcher's granddaughter, she's from Boston."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:02

"Now and then, yeah, but we might get fingers pointed if the entire population of the town changed, huh? Where would we get food from?"

---

"That's quite far, huh? They nice people?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 7:04

"That's the only reason that stops us." She told her playfully.
_______

He nodded.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:17

"I suppose we're overdue a massacre," Genevieve sighed theatrically.

---

"Do you get along well with her?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 7:22

"Yep."
__________

He nodded.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:28

"I hope you aren't entertaining the notion of actually attacking people, Coraline. At least, not locally." Genevieve arched her eyebrow.

---

"That's good to hear." Jean-Claude kissed the top of his head.

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 7:29

"Nope."
___________

He beamed.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:38

"Good to hear." Genevieve quietly coughed into her palm.

---

"Is there anything you wanted to do today, hmm?"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 7:40

"No not really."
___

Coraline nodded.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:50

"Well, did you want to play a game at all?"

---

Genevieve wiped her mouth quietly, taking in a steadying breath.

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 8 Jun - 7:51

"Can we play chess?"
_______

She looked at her. "Ready to see your lover?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 8 Jun - 7:57

"If that's what you want."

---

"If he acts all smug and says 'I told you so' I'm going to punch him," Genevieve said calmly.
