As the demon pulls her against him, trapping her body within the cage of his arms, she can't help but notice something which breaks her mind out of the shell of fear which previously paralyzed her.
"Are you... wearing women's perfume?" she asks, nonplussed.
Reino barks out a laugh, startled by the question.
"Of course not," he says. "I sleep in a coffin filled with white roses. I can't help it if their scent clings to me afterward."
He leans down to nuzzle her neck and she struggles, shouting, "Don't bite me, you vampire!"
"I'm not a vampire."
"Then why do you sleep in a coffin if you're not a vampire, you liar?!"
"Because I like to. And how could I be a vampire when I'm outside in daylight right now without turning into a pile of ashes?" Reino inquires.
"I don't know... sunscreen?" Kyoko answers.
Reino chuckles quietly against her neck.
"Okay, you caught me. I'm a sunscreen-wearing vampire," he says, still laughing.
Hmm, this guy has a sense of humor and sleeps in coffin full of white roses just because he likes to, and he doesn't like Shotaro. Maybe he's actually a pretty cool guy after all.
Reino feels his prey relax against him and he grins.
