"Y'know, you probably shouldn't be out in the light so long."

Vincent looked up from his book and stared at the ninja, who was lounging around on a couch.

The others had gone off to do other things, leaving the ninja and him to their own devices.

He had decided to read a book.

She had decided to bother the hell out of him.

Vincent stared at her, and went back to his book. The question did not make much sense to him, and he was not particularly interested in the answer, so he ignored it.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

He glanced back up, amused at the annoyance that was on the girl's face. He raised his eyebrows, as if questioning her or urging her to go on.

She got the hint pretty quickly and huffed as she sat up straight again.

"I mean, you came out of a coffin, right?"

Vincent nodded his head, a flash of annoyance embodied by his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"So, naturally, you'd be a vampire!"

Vincent closed his book loudly, standing up from his position and making his way away from the lounge area, and the ninja girl in the process.

"H-Hey!" She stumbled over the couch, almost falling off of it, but steadying herself in a standing position, "Where you going?! I wasn't being serious y'know!" she cried as she followed him.

"I didn't mean to offend you, hey! I don't like vampires very much either, I mean…!" She shook her head, as he turned towards her, eyebrows furrowed slightly again. "I mean, not if you were a vampire! I like you! Er, I mean…"

The ninja stopped trying to keep up with Vincent as he kept walking, taking a moment to realize she had stopped.

He turned around, but the only evidence she had even been there was the squeaking of her sneakers against the wooden floor as she dashed away.
