Johannes smiled, then turned his head for a kiss on the lips. He wasn't often this affectionate, being a man who valued personal space a great deal, but this was a very special night indeed.

Smiling shyly in spite of their great familiarity, Belle slipped back to her chair.

The count couldn't help but smile back at her, Belle's shyness was of great appeal to him. After all, most of those he'd tried to love practically threw themselves at him. This was different, Belle was different.
This was right.

She sighed a little and glanced away, almost restlessly.

"What is on your mind, Belle?" Johannes' question was gentle.

"I- I was thinking about my father earlier-"

"Your father?" Krolock prompted invitingly. He cared about Belle and wanted to know what was on her mind.

"He... doesn't know how I've changed."

"Ah..." Johannes nodded, he could understand such worries very well.
"Well, from your stories I'd say he'd be very accepting, if not fascinated." He smiled reassuringly.

"...would it be all right if I went to see him, just once?"

"Perhaps we can invite him over? I would very much enjoy meeting him. He is welcome to stay for as long as he likes."
The man seemed kind, if a little quirky... like Abronsius without vampire destruction on his mind.

"A- all right."
She wasn't sure how her father would take to the city, let alone a vampire castle.

"I will do everything in my power to make him feel welcome," the count said sincerely.

"I just hope he isn't too startled by... what I've become."

"Belle... nobody could ever be startled by you. You're yourself. Same Belle, added fangs," the count joked lovingly.
It was the truth, though. Belle still was the woman he loved, unlike many others before her.
