[Rose is actually in town after mostly retreating in the Cullen House with her husband for the past few weeks. She's been avoiding a certain werewolf, and she's grateful that he's been taken because this means she can actually go around the village without running into him.

Right now, she can be found inside inside the library because she has

[comes behind her and places a gentle hand on her shoulder]

You okay, baby?

[pileof_ashes]

[She looks up at him.]

Yes. Just...thinking.

[tacklesbears]

[leans down to kiss her jaw]

That can be dangerous.

[pileof_ashes]

What are you implying?

[pileof_ashes]

A week is hardly significant.

[pileof_ashes]

But they still come back.

[univalent]

Death is always significant. Just because it's not the kind that sticks doesn't mean it's not worth something. The people upset by this are proof enough of that.

Not human, though, eh?

[ written ]

[pileof_ashes]

Perhaps I feel that it is cheapened. Death is meant to be permanent. [Good thing you can't sense bitterness in writing.]

I haven't been for a while.

[ written ]

[univalent]

Preaching to the choir on that one.

Likewise.

[pileof_ashes]

What are you, then?

[Edward sits next to her in the library. He doesn't say anything. After all, she's pretty much just thought it all. Instead he looks at her with his eyebrows up slightly.]

[pileof_ashes]

[Rosalie doesn't even pretend to act surprised.] I figured you'd be here.

[dayofcentury]

A sign we know each other too well, I suppose.

[pileof_ashes]

Well enough to know that there's something on your mind and that you've already read mine.

[He never forgets a question unanswered, and even though he only crossed paths with her once, the mention of immortality does half the work for him. So that's why...

But then, it was a serious question, wasn't it?]

I have seen human beings afflicted by immortality, in my world.

Are you afraid that you are growing less human?

[ Written ]

[pileof_ashes]

You consider immortality an affliction?

[Rosalie remembers you, Ginko. She never forgets anyone. Though were they ever introduced?]

I'm not human anymore.

[one_green_eye]

If it isn't a natural state, and one that brings about inhumanity in the end, then yes-- I would. Although I know there are those who would take that state over death, if given the choice.

[Seeing as the conversation involved Ginko bemusedly watching what Sanji becomes around attractive women, introductions were left by the by]

I see. You are a vampire, now it seems. [as he'll read anything unfiltered without much shame] I had never heard that word until coming to this place-- is it a kind of immortality you chose, or that was forced upon you by circumstance?

[pileof_ashes]

[She's never kept her identity a secret anyway.] It wasn't my choice, if that's what you're asking.
