finishes that, and waits for the head librarian to say something about it. Looks at the laminated library card for Yong Soo on her desk.

patrons at the counter checking out books. Busy stamping due dates and marking books "Charged" in the database.

finishes with the patrons at the desk, has another patron ask for help finding a book. looks at the call number, "Yes, that's over here_

please follow me." She answers with a smile, walking over to that section of the library.

returns to her desk, sits down and kicks something. "!!!" looks under desk. "... Yong Soo, what are you doing down there?"

watches him nuzzle. ".... " looks around to make sure no one is watching.

sighs and looks at him. "... fine, but you have to be quiet under there, understand?"

he doesn't decide to nibble on her down there. "There are patrons at the counter ... I need my leg." pulls her leg away and stands.

returns to her desk and sits again, busies herself with database work on the computer.

him hugging her legs. "I wonder what he hugs when he's elsewhere."

sees another patron walk up to the counter. "I need my feet Yong Soo." wiggles to free them.

"Because it's my job, that's why." goes to the circulation desk to serve the patron.

sits back down. "It's almost time for me to go home. Where will you sleep then?"

him a small smile. "I'll wake you up when it's time to go. Oh ... " hands him his library card. "Here. Now you can check out books."

looks around the large open space of the library, tries to work and pretend there isn't a vampire hugging her legs under the desk.

blinks, looks up, happy no one's nearby who can see her blush.

blushes, because he's not being quiet at all. The end of day rush begins as patrons come up to the desk. "I need my feet Yong Soo."

"Yong Soo! I have patrons!" wiggles her feet more. "Let go!"

"I can't ignore them! I'll get fired!" yanks on her feet, bangs one of her knees into the underside of the desk. "Ow!" claps her hands over_

her mouth.

rubs her knee, frowns at Yong Soo, then gets up and limps to the counter to wait on the patrons.

finishes with the patrons, then walks back to her desk. "It's time for me to lock up, then I can go home."

"Why didn't you go nap upstairs where I showed you? Hardly anyone goes up there." goes through her closing rounds of the building.

"Cuddling me is difficult when I'm at work. I have to work." wanders around, telling straggling patrons the library's closing.

"Go where I told you to go yesterday. You slept well enough there, didn't you?" locks up the main entrance, then heads to the basement.

"Oh, usually people want to be alone if they come to the library to sleep. And plenty of people do." walks to the staff room and collects _

her things, then walks through the staff entrance, holding the door open for Yong Soo.

"Where is the guy who made you into a vampire?" Locks the door and begins the walk home.

"I'm sure he'll turn up. Maybe he's looking for you?"

"Ah ... I hope you find him then." Stops and waits for the street light to change.

"Family, that's nice that you have someone." walks across the street, holding his hand.

about that. "Even if it's a vampire family?"

"I don't know, I've never had a family that I can remember."

"Build my own? I'm used to being on my own, and people in this city aren't very friendly."

"My brother? Can a vampire be a human's brother?" waits for another street light to change.

"I didn't say that ... I just wondered if that's allowed?" crosses the street.

"Alfred and Matthew really are brothers." looks up at him. "you can be my brother, if you want."

"I don't know, I've never had one before."

shrugs." Don't know, I've never been a sister, so I have no idea how this works." walks onto her street. "You could ask Matthew."

"I can tell when Alfred talks about Matthew that he l0ves him very much. It must be very special to have that with someone."

"they see each other now, Alfred talks about how he has to protect him." arrives at her gate, opens it.

walks through, still holding his hand. "Are you coming inside, or do you need to go somewhere?"

"Okay." still holding her hand as she walks up her front porch and unlocks her front door. "Do you think it's possible for humans and _

vampires to like each other?"

"really?" smiles at him. "Alfred and I kissed last night." blushes a little. "I think he likes me, he liked the kiss."

blushes, looks down, smiles. "I like him a lot too." walks inside the house, turns and looks back at him. "Still want to come in? walks_

over the Red Corner and covers it.

"I always enjoy his visits." looks at the book case. "I saw the hunter Ludwig yesterday. He says vampires are never to be trust ever _

He even gave me something, just in case." goes to the book case and takes out the little pistol.

Ludwig said he would never trust a vampire ever, and if were smart I never would either. This gun is special, the bullets will cause _

pain for the vampire so the shooter can get away."

"Maybe that's true." puts the little pistol back behind the books on the book case. "It makes me nervous having it back there."

"Even if for some ... I hope this never happens ... reason I have to shoot you?" walks into the kitchen to get something to drink.

"You're still a young vampire though. Ludwig says as vampires get older they change." pours a glass of lemonade, thinks to offer Yong Soo_

"Do you drink this?"

"I'm told some vampires are sadistic. Is that true?" sips the lemonade she poured for herself.

"Maybe I'm just lucky, so far I've only met nice vampires, and one nice demon. There was a girl today at the library looking for an_

antidote for vampire venom, but we didn't have any books there with that information. " sips her lemonade. "She seemed really angry."

"Stay away? Is she dangerous?" tilts her head. "She wants to kill every vampire she sees, I know that."

eyes get wide " ... What? That's how she knows you? She mentioned you and Matthew. Oh dear ... I told her Alfred is Matthew's brother ..."

"She kills humans, are you sure? She helped me move books in the library." getting very confused now. Sits down at the table.

covers her mouth with her hand. "I was alone with her in the basement ... she could have killed me right there. But she didn't"

stands up. "Alright, see you again soon?"

squeezes his hand back* Alright, and you stay safe too.
