"Yes...I guessed so."
Roxanna kissed her on the forehead.
"And when did you know?"

Carmilla's eyes shut as she smiled when Roxanna leaned forward to kiss her; it seemed unexpectedly tender, and consequently was well-received.
She would have been uncertain of how much Roxanna would be willing to hear that referred specifically to her vampire nature a moment before, but now, with a certain giddiness brewing in her stomach, she felt confident and dazzled enough to plunge on in.
"It was... a very long time ago, when I was just seventeen," said Carmilla. "Not that I was very dull and there had been no hints, just that I had been raised to think that attraction was a feeling other than what it was; when dancing with men, or speaking to them, chaperoned, there were things I meant to look for that supposedly indicated a good future match. Really, those marriages aren't for love, anyway. And sisterly love, close, jealous friendships, those were encouraged in young girls, to keep them busy and pleased, so if I became overly fond of a lady-in-waiting or a maid or a schoolgirl, there was nothing in it. But... ah, the nature of that, hum. It was later, and I had been married to a Count Karnstein by then, when a Hungarian noblewoman turned up with her whole entourage, which was peopled by strange silent folks and her own gypsy band and so forth. My husband seemed quite taken with her, which, to be perfectly honest, I did not actually mind..." Carmilla curled her hair around her fingertip as she related this, eyes distant. "As she seemed quite taken with me. Well, that was it, more or less. I'm sure it's all quite obvious. And then my husband discovered us, and she took care of him after a week, and I discovered her for what she was, and that's... That's how I became this." She made a sort of gesture towards herself, very simply. She did not seem at all uncomfortable in any nude pose, not cold, and not self-conscious. "I do believe she's in Russia. We split," she explained. "It happens."
The absolute lack of care was suspect in this, which was fitting, as Carmilla's own feelings on the subject were a lot more complex than she was exactly capable of dealing with.

"Every time think I have figured you out..."
Truly, it was hard to imagine Carmilla as a human. A small child, a gangly adolescent- these seemed incongruous with the otherworldly creature in bed with Roxanna.

Carmilla had not been a gangly adolescent, having been an adolescent at the time of her being turned, and now still in the body of one, and it was certainly a lovely one; but she had changed, and she did not carry herself like a young girl, not at all. Not anymore.
Carmilla scooted down in the luxurious bedsheets and nestled again in Roxanna's arms, just close enough so that Roxanna's chin would rest against the top her head. Shutting her eyes as though returning to reminiscing, she nonetheless remained rather firmly in the present, kissing a line over Roxanna's breast rather playfully, but otherwise calm.
"I did always get my kicks surprising," she murmured between kisses, then rested and peered up at her. Her smile seemed pleasantly drowsy. "Your little whip story was not exactly predictable, you know."

"Oh? You did't guess from my imperious manner that I could be something of a sadist when the occasion called for it?"

Carmilla pouted good-naturedly.
"No," she said. "I suppose that's the real reason I wasn't to bite you, wasn't it, that it would upset your sense of dominion." But she did not mean it to imply that she would have gone for Roxanna's throat under any other circumstances.

Roxanna playfully tugged at a lock of Carmilla's hair.
"Of course. Dominion over all, that's my plan!"

Carmilla turned her head against Roxanna's hand naturally, looking to cuddle.
"When you're empress of the world, I expect a duchy or two. Or Austria." Being as it was her country of origin, she had a fondness for it.
