Yawn —!

It's getting close to sunrise, isn't it?

She paused for a second as she took that in. But, before she could do something stupid like get emotional, she focused on her task.

Before long, she had his hair in a nice ponytail.

"There." Her voice is noticeably softer. "Now let me try and get you to bed."

— she didn't get to live much of a human life before she was turned.

"But I'd bet money on the reasons why we follow 'em being bullshit too."

"Answers? No."

She shook her head, furrowing her brows. She was going to make it sound like she's in a cult if she's not careful.

She's not Louis. She doesn't usually talk to humans or hang out with them, but she's not oblivious to how different vampiric life is from human life. Even if —

She was quiet at first as she brushed his hair. It's a different texture to hers. She'd been interested in that once.

"I'll lay with you until Louis comes back." She decided. "He'd be upset if I left you alone anyway."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

"Yeah, well."

She laughed, shaking her head. The sort of laugh one does when you HAVE to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

"Medieval laws that we still adhere to for fuck knows what reason. Never really met someone who could understand that."

"Louis? I think he's makin' nice with the rat catcher."

"Alright, alright."

At that, Claudia ran upstairs with her vampiric speed, coming back with a brush and tie. Then she knelt by his head, starting to run the brush through his hair. She could be gentle when she wanted.

She just didn't often bother. She's a vampire. She's always found being a ━

Claudia stiffened. That felt like a trap. Maybe it wasn't, but she's been burned too many times.

"Well, I mean... It's a family, right? Families fight."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 2d

— no outside friends. Any and all friends have to be approved.

Oh, and if you didn't know the rules before and broke 'em before you were taught? Tough luck, you're in trouble anyway."

Claudia paused. Some of those laws would make no sense if she brought them up. Especially not the one where her entire existence is considered wrong.

However, she could human-ify some of them.

"No writing down 'our history' and yes, a diary of your own personal thoughts? That counts.

Uh, —

"Right! And my god, you break a rule that means literally nothing and nobody would even find out that you broke it, yet it's still a big fucking deal."

She's thinking of her diaries.

"So, what rules are you stuck with?"

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 2d

"Yeah. He sure is."

She's careful with her words. She always is around these other vampires.

"He just doesn't want to deal with anyone gettin' caught."

"Louis also had multiple bones broken in his back, broken ribs, a swollen face, and he was blind in one eye. Not to mention he was starvin' himself and only would eat animals."

She reminded him, grabbing a chair for him to prop his foot up onto.

"Eating ━

"You're alright."

She meant for it to be soothing, but it probably came out sounding cold.

Making sure to set the ankle so it'd heal properly, she stepped back.

"If you ate, this shouldn't take long to heal."

"Where was that? Y'know, so I don't grab something in the same spot.

Armand can be really touchy about that sort of thing."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 3d

"I always do that. It's a habit." She said with a shrug.

"I was, uh, hungry. Was gonna grab a snack."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 3d

She nodded eagerly. How often did she actually get to talk about this sort of thing with someone who gets it?

"It's such bullshit. But you're the crazy one for saying it's bullshit. I've been there."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 3d

Stiffening, Claudia took a couple of steps backwards. Cautious, as she frequently was.

Now, Claudia isn't royalty. Maybe a form of vampiric royalty, if you consider Lestat 'royalty' just because he gets around. But the words that this woman was saying? They were speaking to her.

"Trust me, I get it." She turned and gave her full attention. Hopefully, her eyes aren't ━

Admittedly, it took a lot not to laugh. Claudia isn't nice. But she manages to hold back the laugh, instead batting his hands away from himself.

"Alright. Stop. Let me. I nursed Louis back to health, remember?" She asked, taking his boots off for him. Louis had been in a way worse ━
