"I don't think I'll tell Mai though either," Reina said. "I think that vampire pretty much threatened to go after whoever we told. So I'm just not going to tell him."<br/><br/>Reina pulled open the door, "Mai! Blue! We're back!" she called.<br/><br/>Mai scooped up little Mai and went to the front door to greet Reina and Lestat. "Glad you're back in one piece," he said, "How bad was it?"<br/><br/>"It wasn't so bad," Reina said, "just really twisted." She paused as she noticed he was holding a rabbit. "Is that a bunny?" she asked.<br/><br/>Mai smiled in a slightly embarassed way, "Blue found it and asked if we could keep it and I said yes," Mai said, "... and then she named it Mai."<br/><br/>Reina put her hand to her mouth to keep herself from laughing.<br/><br/>"Please don't laugh," Mai said.<br/><br/>"No, no," Reina said after a few breaths, "I'm not laughing at you. It's really very sweet. Oh yeah," she said after a moment, "Lestat and I have some good news. Where's Blue?"<br/><br/>"She's taking a bath," Mai said.<br/><br/>--------------------------<br/><br/>Roy stood up on the tree branch and hopped down, landing lightly on the ground. He entered his "sonic mode" and made his way through the forest. Soon he came upon one of the little appartments in the woods. He got there just in time to see the human boy and girl from earlier enter the house. Roy leaned against a tree and used one of his techniques that let him blend in with the shadows. The only way someone would notice him now was if they walked right into him.<br/><br/>Because the light was on inside, it was difficult for Roy to make out their exact movements. A vampire's eyes were designed to see in the dark, so there was a large element of heat detection. Unfortunately, light was warm, so that made his vision blurry.<br/><br/>Because the humans here were always awake in the day and asleep at night, the only way he could get information from them was by watching them when they were awake. That interfered drastically with his sleep schedule. But because he now often had to watch the humans in the daytime when it was bright, his day vision was getting better. At least he didn't bump into things as much anymore. He'd watch them for a little while and then find some place to get some sleep when dawn came. At least that was a common time when both vampires and humans normally were asleep.
