Date log part 2
Epic date log, first part can be found here.
Zelman: I'll play nice with the other children, I promise. *amused look* It works out better for me in the end.
Naoto: Whatever works to your advantage.
Zelman: Hey~ I have my good-guy moments too you know.
Naoto: I know you do, as much as you don't like me to mention them.
Zelman: You have secret maternal instincts, and I have a soft spot for kids. But don't spread it around, it kind of ruins my "Red-Eyed Murderer" title.
Naoto: *very small grin* The Red-Eyed Babysitter, then?
Zelman: *aha k-kind of surprised look* Hey now--don't start calling me that.
Naoto: *definitely amused* But it sounds so intimidating.
Zelman: *>///* It's really not that fitting...
Naoto: Really? I think it is.
Zelman: Please don't ever mention it again.
Naoto: .... Are you embarrassed?
Zelman: *not looking at you and keepin his mouth shut >|;;*
Naoto: ...... *looking over at you now*
Zelman: *NOT LOOKING AT YOU >OO*
Naoto: .... *s-sorry, but that's making her start to laugh*
Zelman: It's not funny. *>|*
Naoto: Y-you're sulking like a little kid! *ahaha still laughing*
Zelman: *j-just leering at you, gd it*
Naoto: *s-sorry, it's just hilarious*
Zelman: I fail to see what's so humorous about this. >|||
Naoto: You've lived for over a thousand years and yet you still get all embarrassed and pouting when I point out you're not quite as bad as you claim you are.
Zelman: That's...hardly the situation here. >//
Naoto: Oh?
Zelman: Yes. >////
Naoto: *nonchalant lolz* Then what's the situation, Zelman?
Zelman: >//// that you're jumping to conclusions.
Naoto: The conclusion being...
Zelman: That I'd be embarrassed by something as miniscule as that.
Naoto: You're the one sulking, not me.
Zelman: The nickname was ridiculous.
Naoto: .... What, Red-Eyed Babysitter? I still think it fits.
Zelman: Hardly.
Naoto: *still snickering*
Zelman: Yes, yes. Very hilarious. Are you done yet?
Naoto: For now. *wiping her eyes*
Zelman: You're terrible.
Naoto: I know.
Zelman: I suppose I ought to feel honored though; I wonder how many people have actually seen you laugh.
Naoto: ...... *stopping to think about that* .... One or two? Maybe three.
Zelman: Worth it, then.
Naoto: Despite your injured pride?
Zelman: It'll heal in time.
Naoto: What a shame. You're tolerable like this.
Zelman: Ouch...~
Naoto: Yes, yes, I know. I'm cruel.
Zelman: Almost unbareably so~
Naoto: You poor thing.
Zelman: Such a tragic afterlife I lead...~
Naoto: You don't make it any easier on yourself, you know.
Zelman: Well, now I know for next time not to divulge information about myself on dates.
Naoto: There you go. I'm making you a better date for the next person.
Zelman: Mmm, there probably won't be a next person. I told you that you were the only person I was interested in having a date with.
Naoto: And you already know my thoughts on that.
Zelman: I do~ Thus my previous statement remains the same.
Naoto: .... You have got to be the strangest vampire I've ever met.
Zelman: And why's that?
Naoto: You have a large amount of available women on this island and you're only intererested in having a date with me. Despite it being me.
Zelman: Just call me picky~ Normally I'm not interested in dating at all.
Naoto: That makes two of us.
Zelman: I'm still surprised you agreed to this.
Naoto: It was either that or you would have kept bugging me. And like I said, I have enough to deal with at the moment.
Zelman: Like what?
Naoto: .... Things.
Zelman: Things you don't want to talk about.
Naoto: Pretty much.
Zelman: Understandable, I suppose. You're not usually one to divulge much of...anything, really.
Naoto: I never really saw much of a reason to.
Zelman: Some people think it helps them to get to know one another better.
Naoto: ....... well, there's my reason NOT to.
Zelman: Cold as ever...
Naoto: *shrug* That's just me.
Zelman: You wouldn't be you without your ever-distant attitude.
Naoto: Unfortunately, it doesn't really seem to work in getting me left alone.
Zelman: It's like dealing with acat. The more you leave it alone, the more it will become interested in you.
Naoto: . . . . . .
Zelman: Unlucky for you, hmm? I don't seem to have any problem having other people leave me alone~
Naoto: You're also not human.
Zelman: Does it matter? I was quite able to achieve the same results with people as I do now back when I was originally human.
Naoto: It matters when the people who won't leave you alone are people you can't injure.
Zelman: *>:* How do think I became a vampire in the first place?
Naoto: You were bitten, I'm assuming.
Zelman: Mmhmm~ Quite against my will too. Asura was so annoying...
Naoto: .... *hadn't heard this before*
Zelman: What, you think I would willingly choose to put myself through being around humans for all eternity?
Naoto: As an alternative to being dead and bored?
Zelman: Would've preferred to have been dead back then. Immortality grows on you though.
Naoto: ..... *little frown* I don't think I'd want it.
Zelman: It's really not that bad, once you get used to it. The first hundred years can be a bit tough.
Naoto: It'd drive me crazy.
Zelman: I don't think it'd do that. After all, you'd still be young blood and very easy to kill.
Naoto: Either way, I think I'll stick to being mortal.
Zelman: Oh, I wasn't offering. I don't want you for a daughter.
Naoto: And I don't want you for a father. *lol has bad luck with parents anyway--*
Zelman: That would make this incest~
Naoto: .... Then you'd have to consider this a family outing instead of a date. Problem solved.
Zelman: Hey now--I don't need a family, thank you very much.
Naoto: Admittedly, it's hard to imagine you settling down with a wife and kids and a dog.
Zelman: I had a wife, once. Well--technically she was my fiancee. We never quite made it to the whole wedding part.
Naoto: .... *not going to ask if you don't want to talk about it, but looking at you curiously*
Zelman: Hey, even arrogant narcissists get engaged you know~
Naoto: Only if they're rich, hot, or their fiancee is deaf.
Zelman: I wouldn't have called her 'hot', but she was certainly stunning in her own regards~
Naoto: I'm sure.
Zelman: She was a wonderful woman Naoto. Don't let my reputation sully hers.
Naoto: .... *softening just a little bit* I figured as much. You've got that look.
Zelman: ...? What look? *blink*
Naoto: The look that isn't you smirking or being annoyed.
Zelman: *chuckles a little* Oh, that one. How could I have been so blind?
Naoto: Who knows? It's rare as it is.
Zelman: I suppose...
Naoto: .... Do you miss her?
Zelman: *lifts a brow at the question, but lets his lips tilt all the same with amusement* Of course~
Naoto: *and just nodding and back to ocean-gazing /o/*
Zelman: *follows your gaze /o/* This wasn't so bad, now was it?
Naoto: ... Do you want my honest opinion on that?
Zelman: Sure, why not.
Naoto: ... Surprisingly, I'd have to agree with you.
Zelman: *lifts a brow* And here I was preparing for the worst.
Naoto: *closing her eyes briefly* I was expecting it, you could say.
Zelman: *laughs a little at that* I'm going to admit, I almost considered dining on you tonight. Your expectations were almost founded~
Naoto: Almost, huh. You changed your mind at the last minute?
Zelman: As soon as you saw the fireworks.
Naoto: ..... *blink*
Zelman: *shrugs faintly* I've never been good at preying on someone who looks that happy.
Naoto: .... Happy? *genuinely surprised*
Zelman: You certainly looked it.
Naoto: *pausing* .... I guess I was.
Zelman: Well... Anytime you wish to see fireworks you need only ask~ It's really not much trouble.
Naoto: *half-smile* I'll keep that in mind.
Zelman: *nods and dkjfhdajfakj aww Naoto!smile*
Naoto: *HALF smile. HALF GD IT.*
Zelman: *ITS STILL A SMILE /O/*
Naoto: It's just as well that you didn't bite me, anyway.
Zelman: Oh? Why's that?
Naoto: I would have had to stab you.
Zelman: *c-can't help but grin at that* That would have made for a very terrible date.
Naoto: Most dates don't typically involve drinking someone's blood, anyway.
Zelman: Human dates, that is.
Naoto: ..... True.
Zelman: Not that I've ever dated another Black Blood. I usually can't stand them~
Naoto: If they're anything like you, I can see why.
Zelman: *laughs* I at least have manners, you know. The regular trash is nothing like me.
Naoto: Thankfully you're the only one I've met.
Zelman: So far~ Maybe I'll get lucky and Kain will wind up here.
Naoto: Kain?
Zelman: Head of the Western Bank~ I make a point to make thing difficult for him whenever I can~
Naoto: He must love you for that.
Zelman: His pet name for me is the 'purple-haired bastard'.
Naoto: ......... Charming.
Zelman: We go way back~
Naoto: I can tell you were the best of friends.
Zelman: He's a good kid~
Naoto: Everyone's a kid to you.
Zelman: Almost everyone...
Naoto: .... So would this make you a pedophile, I wonder.
Zelman: Not this conversation again... I already had it with Haine once.
Naoto: Haine thinks KY's a pedophile, he doesn't count.
Zelman: Oh, well then~
Naoto: Although I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, since you like kids so much.
Zelman: *ahaha looks a little miffed but really he's kind of embarrassed D:*
Naoto: *knows it, so she's just giving him a very small mischievous grin*
Zelman: ...That expression just doesn't seem fitting on you. *miiiiiffed, darnit. miiiiiffed*
Naoto: Don't worry, you'll probably never see it again.
Zelman: I can only hope...
Naoto: .... Unless you sulk again.
Zelman: *XDD looks very affronted* I don't sulk.
Naoto: *lol, turning to stroll along the beach* You did.
Zelman: *makes a face and follows faintly* I didn't.
Naoto: I know a sulk when I see it, Zelman. And you definitely were.
Zelman: You were mistaken.
Naoto: I don't think I was.
Zelman: .....
Naoto: ...... *strooooll, and still so inwardly amused*
Zelman: *gd you can be mean woman ):*
Naoto: *that's what makes me so lovable :(*
Zelman: *): shh*
Naoto: *you're the one who asked her out, you silly vampire*
Zelman: *stfu I didn't think she had a sense of humor okay D:*
Naoto: *it's very rare! /o/*
Zelman: *sh-should he feel good that he got it to come out D:*
Naoto: *y-yes, even if it's at his expense?*
Zelman: *th-the date was totally worth it DDD:*
Naoto: *does that mean she can go home now :<*
Zelman: *o/ yes*
Naoto: .... I should probably be getting back. *slowing down*
Zelman: Mmm, it's getting late for you isn't it?
Naoto: I've been out later, but... *ahaha tired*
Zelman: It's fine; the time I was allowed was more than I was expecting.
Naoto: You thought it was going to be five minutes before I fled, huh.
Zelman: Eight and a half, actually.
Naoto: Optimistic.
Zelman: I try~
Naoto: Don't make a habit out of it.
Zelman: I'll do my best.
Naoto: Good boy.
Zelman: Woof. *oh, sarcasm /o/*
Naoto: *snrk* Once more with feeling?
Zelman: Not on your life.
Naoto: It was a very good try anyway. *straight-faced*
Zelman: Haine barks. Ask him.
Naoto: That doesn't surprise me.
Zelman: Tell Ky you'll convert to...whatever religion he is. I'm sure he'll bark if you ask him to too.
Naoto: ..... .............
Zelman: You know it's true~
Naoto: I don't even want to THINK about that.
Zelman: *c-can't help but snicker*
Naoto: ..... *aha turning back to stand right in front of him :<*
Zelman: ...?
Naoto: .... *tugging his toque down over his eyes* Behave.
Zelman: *xDDD d-did not expect that so is very much surprised* Hey...!
Naoto: *expect the unexpected with her, gonna be walking past now XD*
Zelman: *lol pulling his toque off his eyes and looking back at you with surprise*
Naoto: *what, did nothing, lalalalala*
Zelman: *lies, gd you*
Naoto: *who, me?*
Zelman: *>O yes you*
Naoto: *but I'm walking away, so it couldn't have been me :<*
Zelman: *orz it was you and you know it*
Naoto: *yes it was, and I win*
Zelman: I'll play nice with the other children, I promise. *amused look* It works out better for me in the end.
Naoto: Whatever works to your advantage.
