A/N: Sorry this one took so long, I sort of ran out of inspiration for it. This is just a short one, but I thought it was cute, a nice light follow-on.

"Ok, well I'm heading home for the night, Vicki. Vicki? Hellooo?!" Coreen was looking directly at the blonde, who was staring off into space and completely unaware of her young assistant's presence. Coreen chuckled to herself; Vicki had filled her in on some of the details of the night before and had regretted it instantly because ever since, Coreen had been stealing sly glances at her friend, smiling knowingly. "Henry." Coreen said the name quietly, and Vicki jerked to attention.

"Hmm?" She looked up at the gothette with a confused look on her face.

"Ha! I knew that would get you! I'm leaving for the night. Gotta let you get ready for you-know-who coming!" Coreen gave her the same knowing smile she had been doing all day and, before Vicki had the chance to reprimand her she skipped out of the office.

Vicki got up from her desk and stretched.

"Hmm…maybe I should make a little effort? I'll have a shower, at least. It's been a long day…"

So she showered, and, upon emerging from the bathroom she decided that she should probably wear something else.

"No sense showering then putting back on dirty clothes…"

She decided on dark, tight jeans, a black, figure-hugging shirt and black boots and put on a little makeup. She reasoned there was no harm in wearing something a little less casual than usual – it made her feel good. The makeup she couldn't justify to herself, but she did it anyway.

An hour after sunset Henry arrived to find her asleep on the couch, her blonde locks free from the usual ponytail. He smiled, noticing she had gone to a little trouble to look good for him. He couldn't understand why women felt the need to dress up and paint themselves; especially someone as naturally stunning as Vicki. He always thought that a woman was most beautiful when she was relaxed and at her ease, letting her natural radiance shine through. Not that he didn't appreciate the view now, though. He watched her sleeping for a few minutes then decided to wake her. He walked over to the couch and sat beside her. Taking her hand he kissed her knuckles gently. She stirred slightly, but didn't wake. He moved his attentions to the palm of her hand and then down to her wrist. This got her attention and she jumped, wide awake.

"Oh…Henry…Hey…"

"Good evening, Vicki. I see you were resting up for my arrival. Did you have something energetic in mind?" He raised an eyebrow and half-smiled at her.

"Yeah, actually…" She looked at him as seductively as she could manage, and as she trailed her hand lazily up his arm then onto his chest, watched him struggle for a response.

"And what was that idea?"

She rubbed his chest, and licked her lips as she felt his taut muscles under her touch. Suddenly, she pushed him backwards.

"I thought you might like to take me for a night-time stroll." She sprang up from her seat and began searching for her jacket and handbag, while Henry stood, trying to compose himself.

"If that would please m'lady I would be delighted to accompany her." He bowed, and grinned boyishly at her when he rose once more.

"Great. Well take thy super vampire sight and cast thine eyes around my office in search of my…" She tried to think of a regal-sounding word for purse, but none came to her. "purse."

"Ah, my lady sends me on a quest to prove my worthiness. I graciously accept. Fear not, oh fair one, for I shall search high and low 'til thy treasure is recovered." He bowed once more and Vicki laughed at their little play. Henry sped around the office and found it moments later under her desk. He brought it to her and stood before her before offering it to her with a flourish.

"Thanks!" She smiled, expecting him to be finished.

"If the object of mine affections is pleased, could I be so brazen as to request a token of her appreciation?" He regarded her with as serious an expression as he could muster, and took her hand in his.

"What kind of token?"

"Perhaps her handkerchief, as a keepsake? That I may remember her through the long hours when I am apart from her."

Vicki didn't have a hanky, and Henry knew it, but she rummaged through her bag anyway. Maybe she'd have one of those cloths that she used to clean her glasses...

"Good sir, thou shalt have to accept my most sincere apologies. It seem…eth that my purse holds no such treasure."

"Then perhaps, a kiss?"

"Well, if that's the usual reward…"

She wasted no time in giving her brave knight his requested gift.
