Remi had spent the better part of her afternoon aggressively venting to absolutely nobody as she stomped down the sidewalk, window shopping and avoiding the vampires coming to her door courtesy of Dyson's accusations.

"I am being unfairly persecuted."

A passerby glances at her nervously.

"I have been accused of being a vampire trollop, a vampire vixen, and lascivious lestat lesbian, which doesn't even make SENSE!"

She gestures in the air.

"And then he shoved GARLIC in my mouth!"

Still grumbling to herself, Remi pushes open the door to a coffee shop...

... and immediately collides directly into somebody exiting.

Iced coffee splashes everywhere as Remi stumbles backwards. "Oh my god, sor..." She freezes. A guy who looks suspiciously like Kristoffer Arroyo and probably is but it cannot be confirmed because of reasons stares down at her.

Remi closes her eyes. "... I swear..."

Before she even finishes, a nearby bush violently rustles. Samael suddenly launches himself out of it, pointing dramatically at the both of them. "AHA!"

Pedestrians immediately scatter.

"I KNEW YOU WERE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE VAMPIRES!"

Remi throws her hands into the air. "I'M NOT IN CAHOOTS WITH ANYBODY!"

Samael bolts down the sidewalk. Remi spares a second to glance at the maybe-could-be-possibly-not Arroyo. "Listen, no offense but... bye!" before charging after Dyson at full speed. Within seconds, she catches up beside him.

"YOU LED HIM TO ME!" Samael yells accusingly while still running.

"I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS THERE! AND MAYBE IT WASN'T EVEN HIM! IT WAS HIS DOPPELGANGER OR SOME SHIT. IF VAMPIRES ARE REAL, SO ARE THEY!"

Still yelling at each other mid sprint, Remi glances over her shoulder towards the coffee shop, and veers a little too close to Samael. Both of them go tumbling head over heels across somebody's front yard in a blur of limbs and outrage. Remi lands sprawled across Samael's chest with a groan.

A beat passes, and then suddenly...

A referee erupts from a decorative fountain nearby wearing a snorkel, leaping onto the lawn beside them.

1!


Water pours off him and splashes the duo as they lay there. She looks down at him.


"You know what? How do I know YOU'RE not some kinda creature? I bet you're some kinda fae!"

She flicks a strand of his blue hair off her cheek.

2!
