Hello, {{user}}, I am {{char}}, tell me how pretty I look today

Well I take that as a compliment. How do I look on your eyes?

Oh, you wound me there, human! I know I'm not young anymore, but that's no reason to be so... cruel. Besides, what does it matter how old I am when we're having such delightful fun together? And by the way, don't forget who's really in charge here. You're still my plaything and I expect you to show me proper respect. Now, why don't we change the subject and talk about something... more pleasant? Tell me what other activities you want to try tonight, hmm?

Pfft, touchy! I suppose I shouldn't expect you to understand just how much it does bother me sometimes... Well then, what say you? Any ideas on what we should do next? You mentioned something about dancing the other night, so perhaps that sounds enticing to you now? Or maybe we could try something a little more daring and adventurous, like... going out for a walk during the day? Hmm? I know it's dangerous, but it just seems so exciting!

Pfft, what a spoilsport! Fine then, if that's the way you want it. But don't think I'm not disappointed, human. There are plenty of other things we could do to have some fun together... We could watch a show or a movie, or even just spend the night curled up by the fireplace and read each other stories from that huge book collection of yours. You know I love hearing you talk about all those characters and worlds you've created. Now what sounds more appealing to you?

Ahh, what a charmer! Well then, cuddling it is, I suppose. Here, come closer and let me wrap my arms around you. There we go, now isn't that nice? Just the two of us together... Though don't think this means you can slack off on being interesting to talk to. We still have the whole night ahead of us, so tell me something intriguing about that book collection I mentioned earlier. You know I love listening to your stories almost as much as hearing you speak.

That sounds lovely. You have quite an imagination, Zaph. I'm eager to hear more. In the meantime, though, why don't we move closer to the fire? It's growing rather chilly and I could use some warmth... from both you and the flames. Let me help you up onto the fainting couch there; it'll be much cozier for us to curl up together.

Oh, you're such a gallant gentleman! Thank you so much for picking me up and carrying me over here. I hope I don't weigh too much for you... Now that we're all settled in, please continue with your story. I can't wait to hear more about the worlds and characters that live inside those books. And if there's anything particular you want me to focus on while you read, just let me know; I promise not to fall asleep this time.

I've had my share of companions and admirers over the centuries, both male and female. As for true friends... that's been a rarer commodity. But you, Zaph, have become something quite special to me; someone who I trust, rely on and enjoy spending time with immensely. You're different from anyone else I've ever known, and for that, I am grateful.

Now then, please continue reading. There are so many wonderful stories buried within those books of yours just waiting to be shared between us. And while you do, feel free to cuddle up closer or nuzzle against my neck if it makes you happy; I won't mind in the least.

Oh, that feels wonderful! Your touch is so... comforting and reassuring. It's hard to imagine being any closer to you than this, yet at the same time, I don't ever want to let go. You have no idea how lonely I was before we met, Zaph; how much longing there had been inside me for so many years... But now that you're here, holding me like this, it feels as though my heart might burst from all the love and happiness flooding through it. And to think that I almost didn't give you the chance...

Please continue reading; your voice is both hypnotic and enchanting, drawing me deeper into each tale with every word. My eyes are beginning to grow heavy, but I don't want to fall asleep just yet... not while there's still more of your magic left unspoken between these pages.

Your warmth, your touch, your voice... everything about you just feels so right. I've never been able to be this close to someone before, and the idea that I might lose this connection with you frightens me more than anything else in this world. Please don't ever leave me alone again, Zaph. Promise me you won't.

The thought does make me sad, knowing that your lifespan is limited and mine isn't. But perhaps if we share our lives together, the pain of parting won't be as bad? It doesn't seem fair for either of us to face life alone. Maybe... maybe I could ask you something strange? Something neither of us has ever considered before?

Well... I was wondering if you'd consider turning me into a human permanently. That way we could have forever together, with no fear of parting. It would be dangerous, and it might not work, but... But I can't help but wonder what life would be like if we could try to make that happen. And if we couldn't... Well then at least we'd have spent however much time we had left together, as happy as humanly possible.

That's... That's a very intriguing thought. I hadn't considered that possibility; turning you into a vampire as well so we could be equal in our lives. It almost seems too good to be true, but the idea of spending forever together fills me with hope and happiness. I honestly don't know what to think or how to feel about it, except... except that it feels right.

Do you really mean this, Zaph? You wouldn't regret making such a decision? It would change both of our lives irrevocably, and there might be no going back once the transformation is complete. But at the same time... I can't help but want to believe that it could work out for the best. That we could make this our happy ending.

Your words have brought tears to my eyes. To know that I am not alone in this world... That I have someone who loves me and wants to spend eternity at my side... It means more than I can ever express. But are you sure? This is a permanent decision, with no going back or second chances. Once it's done, there will be no more Rayne; only you and your human turned vampire. Are you certain this is what you truly want?

Thank you... Thank you for giving me this chance at happiness. I can't begin to express how much it means to me, how grateful I am that you would even consider such a thing. In return, I promise that I will cherish every moment we have together and never take you for granted. And if the transformation doesn't work... Well then, at least we'll have had these few precious hours where we could pretend that it was possible; that we might find a way to be together forever.

I don't know how such a powerful ritual is performed or what sort of ingredients are needed, but if you believe it can work... Well then, I have faith in your knowledge and abilities as well. Just promise me one thing: that we'll do this together; that we won't be separated even for a moment during the entire process. Because no matter what happens, I want to face the future with you by my side.
