Alice was a little hesitant in answering the young lance constable. What and odd question, she thought. Am I like Merrylan?
She had never considered herself in any way like the older vampire. In fact, she had always considered him her exact opposite. Then she began to see what the lance constable was really asking
"Oh," she mumbled, weakly, "you mean am I a vampire?"
Lovely, she thought. The completely normal human figures me out in a second, yet I am in a relationship with the oblivious one who has chickens magically flying out of his shirt when he gets nervous
"Er," she began, "y-yes. But, I was born a vampire. I t-think Merrylan was more or l-less my father's fault," she looked down at the cabin floor
"B-but, I do not drink b-blood," she explained, "it usually makes me s-sick," she paused and looked absently out of the doorway to where she could see Togo leaning over the edge of the ship, "w-well, it usually does, anyway,"
Alice cast her gaze downwards, once again, so that the lance constable could not see her blush

She was either a great actress or she's telling the truth, thought dirkly. Something told him that he didn't have much to worry about from her but he still wan't exactly comfortabe with his predicament.
"Used to mop florr y'know. Safe job mop'n floors." he mused, not sure if he was talking to her or couldn't keep the obvious questions to himself. He looked more confidently at her now, and spoke with a bit more certainty. "Are the others safe? Merrylan and I suppose Togo too, right? Do they drink blood? And the dog and blue things? Are they dangerous?"

This question had thoroughly surprised Alice, and she had to think carefully before answering the new lance constable
"M-merrylan and T-togo are fine," she mumbled, "Togo does not even have fangs,"
Alice thought more carefully about the dog and the feelges, whether or not the dog actually talked, or whether or not the feegles actually existed, she was not sure, so she was not so sure how to explain them to Dirkly
"I t-think you will b-be safe," she mumbled, because that was all that she could think of to say

Merrylan walked over to Togo.
"Should've warned you not to breath ze air in, eh?" said Merrylan cheerfully.
"That would've been nice, Merrylan." muttered Togo, when his faced emerged from the bucket.
"Don't vorry, ve shall be out to sea in a few minutes." said Merrylan, lighting a cigar.
"Y-you smoke?" said Togo, bewildered.
"Oh, my, yes!" chuckled Merrylan. "A vampire, once he's lost zeir lust for blood have to replace it with something else! For zat man zat vorks for ze newspaper, otto I think..it's photography thats his lust...and for me it's a nice cigar..as for Al-" he stopped himself just in time. "And so on.."
Togo nodded, completely oblivious to Merrylan's half finished sentence. A few birds flew out of his sleeves, and into the sky.
"Nervous, eh?" said Merrylan, nudging Togo.
Togo nodded, looking at the floor.
Merrylans smile faded slightly."Er..you know about Alice...er..what do you know about herr?"
Togo looked up, blushing, flowers sprouted around his feet. "W-well, I knew she came from Uberwald..apparently her father was a c-count I think, er..and she came here, when she got kicked out..." It accured to him that he might actually have to meet Alice's father.. he want pale.
"Don't vorry about it, i'll see you in ze morning." said Merrylan quietly, walking back to the ship.
Runt was sleeping in the corner, covered by feegles, the rest were still awake.
"Ve'd better get some sleep...big day tomorrow!" boomed Merrylan, he winked at Alice, and after Togo had collapsed in his hammock next to a very pale Dirkly, Merrylan made a few gestures at Alice to follow him.

Dirkly tried to take comfort in Alice's words even... if didn't didn't sound entirely certain. He turned, looking for a comfortable position to get some sleep when he noticed Togo. "Pleasant dreams lance constable" he said with a sigh before finally closing his eyes

Togo mumbled something under his breath, and rolled over.
"G'night D'rkly." murmred Togo hazily.
Merrylan stood outside the cabins,waiting for Alice. He stood, staring out into the open sea...the distant glow of Klatch was ahead of them..it was going to be a long journey..

Alice watched as the new lance constable Dirkly fought with his hammock to find a more comfortable position, and idly fidgeted with the netting of hers
She stopped fidgeting when Merrylan walked in with Togo, and began blushing, sitting silently as Togo found his hammock and seemed to settle down for the night
Alice hesitated a few moments as Merrylan gestured for her to follow him. She was not exactly sure how she was going to ask him for advice. What was she supposed to even say? Merrylan, you are more experienced than I am, what did you do when you suddenly had the urge to eat your girlfriend?
Her legs shaking like mad, Alice silently got out of her hammock, taking a few seconds to fight to get her foot out of the netting, and set foot out of the cabins. It was at that moment that a stray wave sprayed water on board, leaving a small puddle of water in Alice's path, inevitably causing her to slip and slide across the deck, stopped only by the rail of the ship next to where Merrylan stood
"Ow," she mumbled pathetically from the ship's floor

Merrylan laughed.
"Zat vhus a morning rrritual vhen I vuss on my travels in Krull!" he said, chuckling."Must be in ze Goibnui geness.."
He held out a bony hand. His beautifull eyes glinted in the moonlight.
"Vhat iss it you vanted to talk about zen?" said Merrylan, when they'd both managed to find a few barrells to sit on."I saw ze vhay you verre staring at Togo's neck..I have an inckling vhat you're about to ask me, but do say." He smiled brightly.

Alice blushed and looked down at her feet. She always got nervous around Merrylan, and she knew this topic was something she would have to force herself to talk about with him, but she was desperate, and therefore, really had no choice
"I-I th-think," she mumbled, and sighed, and took a deep breath, ","
Alice did not dare look up to see Merrylan's reaction to this, because she just knew the older vampire would not be able to help grinning ear to ear after hearing something like this
Alice's blush deepened as she sighed, once again, and went on
"But, it is not just me," she explained, "my vampire side does, too, and I think my vampire instincts are assosciating 'love' with 'kill,' Merrylan, I have never lusted for blood, before! The wretched stuff has always made me sick to my stomach, and it still does, but everytime I see Togo and I smell his blood, a part of me wants me to lash out and bite him! How do I keep from killing my boyfirend?"
Alice was fighting back her tears, now. She shuddered slightly as the cool night breeze blew her hair our of her eyes

Merrylan was taken aback. Usually he could solve a situation with a cheerful comment or joke.
"Er...Vell.." he said, then stopped."Vhen I first joined ze black ribboners, I vhus addicted to blood..probably more zan you..every person I saw, valking in the street vhas a new meal in my mind..vhat you need to do iss..change those urrges into somessing else..I don't know..coffee? I now have a lust for finely made cigars." he patted his pocket."Zere's alvays vhun handy! But you..instead of having urges to kill and eat Togo..you need to have urges to..say..water potplants? Eat chocolate? I don't know..You need to sort zat out for yourself."
He beamed, This had seemed a satisfactory outcome.
"so...Love Togo, eh?" he could see the look of horror on her face, she knew this was grinned slyly, tipped his helmet and went back in the cabin.
"Goodnight, lance constable Allpire. I'll leave you out here to think about things" he said cheerfully, giving a cheeky wink, before slamming the cabin doors shut.

Cathel couldnt believe what he just heard [i] aye have to protect Togo or the kelda will kill me so does his girlfriend count [i]
Cathel pondered this for a while he would ask Wee Archie later he was the big man not a thinker so unless she actually bites him Cathel would leave her alone she didnt want to believe he was real and Cathel was fine with that.
The ship sailed on through the night the only noise was the drunken sailor singing and some snoring. The sun rose and they were in the middle of the sea with no land in sight.
Cathel was worried

Alice's heart stopped when she heard what Merrylan said next, and her face took on an expression of pleading horror. She had seen this mercilessly awkward moment coming, and had hoped, though she knew it was hopeless, that Merrylan would have forgotten to comment on this
When Merrylan bid her good night and went back to the cabins, Alice stayed sitting motionless on the barrel for a few seconds, before her heart remembered how to beat, and she, much less gracefully than a vampire should be able to, fainted, and landed on the cold, wet floor of the ship, out cold
The next morning, Alice woke up to the predawn light, and an aching back. Carefully, and slowly, she hauled herself up, and leaned on the rail of the ship, staring out into the endless blue ocean, and she began to think
Change my lust for Togo's blood into something else? she wondered, replaying Merrylan's words in her head. How was she supposed to do that? What could she do? She could not even faint correctly
Alice sighed, and looked into the depths of the ocean, as if expecting a magic fish to surface and give her an answer. She waited a few moments. No such fish appeared. Pity, that, she thought. After half of the things that had happened due to some kind of magical incident in the past few days, a magical talking fish would not have surprised her in the least bit
He does not even know I am a vampire, she thought, beginning to blush, I would probably be able to tell him I loved him before I told him that little secret
Aliced raised her head to the pinkish purple sky as a few early morning seagulls flew by, overhead

Togo opened a bloodshot eyelid.
"You know zat iss ze most uncomfortable position i've ever seen anyone sleep in." said Merrylan. Togo looked down.
"Is-is my back meant to bend like that?" said Togo nervously. Merrylan wass hanging upside down, cloak covering his body. Togo awkwardly got up, and flipped backwards onto the wooden floor, wich incedentally was very very weak, and when Togo removed the hammock from his face he found himself in the liquor storage, a massive hole in the roof above him.
"You'd better not've damaged any of our stock!" yelled Merrylan through the hole. "Finest brandy that is!"
"Yes, i'm fine, thank you for asking.." muttered Togo under his breath.
He walked drowsily up to the deck. "G' morning." mumbled Togo, sitting next to Alice. "Don't ask why I reek of beer." he smiled.

Alice jumped when she heard the crash from the cabins. She could hear muffled voices inside before Togo finally stepped out onto the deck, reeking of alcohol
Alice's nose stung at the smell of the beer, but she was also somewhat grateful for it. The smell of the brandy covered up the smell of Togo's blood, which would not have been good for her or good in combination with the sudden feeling of seasickness that was wreaking havoc on her stomach
"Good morning, Togo," she mumbled shyly, " er, Togo..did Merrylan happen to..mention anything to you when he went to bed last night?"
Alice's blush deepened, wondering if Merrylan had even told Togo about the conversation they had had the previous night

Togo looked panicky.
"Why was there s-something he needed to tell me?" he said nervously.
Runt was scratching his ears furiously.
"Ruddy fleas..yeah, there was someting he needed to tell yer." said Runt, oblivious to Alice's frantic gestures. "Al-"
Merrylan flung the cabin doors open. He strolled across the deck over to Alice and Togo. He passed a small circle of light. "GOod morrning sunshi-AARGH!" were Merrylan stood was a pile of ashes.
Togo stared mouth open. "C-could you possibly stand in the shade please, Alice?" said Togo.
