Hey, it's fine. Not like Silas is much better on the whole safety-spectrum. Besides, we haven't even been here that long and you were already getting your broody-mopey-vampire-girlfriend vibe going.

( which she means in the best way possible, of course. her own expression lights up at the squeeze to her hand and Laura, with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop, might just scoot in a little bit closer. personal space? who needs that.

as much as she's worried about having left Silas behind for LaF and Perry to deal with solo, there's also something really nice about not having any sort of impending doom via school board members and/or deadly giant angler fish gods. sure, it's some weird and supposedly magical fairy tale land, but hey. gotta be better than doomed campuses. )

I'm really glad you're here.
