Prompt: Judgment
You would think after all of the snide comments and looks of disapproval that Moroi and dhampirs have shown with regards to her relationship with another dhampir, Rose would be more tolerant than most where unusual pairings—like say, a Moroi and a human—were concerned.
You'd be very, very wrong. It actually disgusts her.
She can admit that Adrian and Sydney make a good looking pair, and she'll even acknowledge that Sydney's uptight, anal retentive personality gives her ex-boyfriend the stabilizing influence he so desperately needs, but when it comes right down to it, she doesn't approve of the relationship.
She does realize how hypocritical that is, and she knows her gut reaction is based on 18 years of having it drummed into her head that such a coupling is completely taboo, so she's really trying to come to terms with it and to overcome her revulsion at the idea—but it's hard. Still, she'll keep trying until she overcomes her prejudice, because she doesn't want to pass judgment on her friends—and she knows better than anyone that you just can't help who you love.
