"Hold on, baby," *he murmured, then swept her up in his arms.* "Let's make this easier."
((To the bedroom.))

*Susan sat down, nursing a hard cider and, despite her disaproval of such attitudes, brooding. The ball had put a few questions into her mind about the nature of her relationship with Alfred. She was pretty enough, but nowhere near as glamourous as most of the vampire females, and often felt more like a bodyguard than a girlfriend. And seeing him with Sarah...was he going to end up as bitter about her?*

*Alfred's head poked into the bar, looked around, and lit up in a smile when he caught sight of Susan. The rest of him entered the bar and approached Susan.*
"Hi! I've been looking for you," *he said with a smile.*

*She looked up at him and nodded*
"Hello Alfred."
*She looked down*
"Sorry I'm not in the best of moods right now."

*He frowned.*
"I'm sorry. Is something wrong?"
*He looked a little like a puppy, eager to help, if he could.*

"Well, it's just-"
*It sounded silly when she tried to say it out loud*
"At the ball, there was that girl Sarah...and other ones like her. I always knew that I wasn't fully human, but I'm also not technically undead, and-"
Dammit, why isn't this coming out right?
"I guess I just don't know if I fit in with you."

"What? I don't understand."
*He looked puzzled.*
"Is it because you're not a vampire? Because I don't care, really!"

"It's not just that. If I were fully inhuman I could have some of that charm that female vampires always seem to have...but I don't. I'm horrible with people, I'm nowhere near as pretty as those other girls..."
And this much angst about not being normal is why you can never keep a boyfriend.

"I think you're very pretty," *he said reproachfully.* "And I'm done with vampires. Really."

"I gathered as much from the foppish blond one."
*She couldn't help smiling*
"I think being your girlfriend is going to be a full time job."

"What do you-" *Realization hit suddenly.* "Oh. Well, I don't mean to attract trouble..."

"Neither do I, but there are some of us who seem to have a gift for it."
*She took Alfred's hand*
"You're too good a person to be with people like me. But I'm glad you do."

"Don't be silly. You're beautiful and strong and brave- What do you say that for?"
*He squeezed her hand.*
