Mina sighed softly as she leaned on the edge of the observation tower. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the rail. A cold gust of wind whipped through her hair. She barely noticed enough to brush a wisp of hair from her eyes.
Her sharp ears caught the noise of boots on the deck. In one swift movement, she spun around to come face to face with Tom Sawyer.
Mina stepped back, her shoulders dropping slightly. "Oh, Agent Sawyer."
She turned back to face out towards the ocean. He walked up to stand next to her. "Mina, I'm kinda' thrilled that you're interested in me an' all. But I don't know a thing about ya. Well, besides your bein' a vampire."
Mina looked slightly paler than usual, but not from the biting chill. She gathered up her skirts as she sat down on the deck chair by the guardrail. Tom watched her, shoving his hands into his trousers' pockets.
"Please, Mr. Sawyer. If it's not a problem, I'd rather not tell this story just now. In fact, I'd be pleased if you would kindly leave me alone for now."
Sawyer opened his mouth, but decided to remain silent. He turned and walked back to the hatch. Opening it, he took one last look at Mina before going inside and shutting the hatch behind him, leaving her alone on the deck.
