((Apologies to you both!  I forgot the name for this had changed, and I couldn't remember the new title until now!))<br/><br/>Rachel's fear was swayed by Karl's logic as well, and she could tell Bridget was affected too.  Bridget had told her about her brother, and she guessed Karl's comparison to soldiers had her thinking twice about what he'd said.  Bridget was right too, in that neither of them had been hurt so far, so perhaps she'd been too hasty in thinking the worse of them.<br/><br/>"It's true, you could have already done something, if your intention was to hurt us," she conceded.  "Bridget's right though, you can't blame us for being careful.  I've never met any vampires before, at least none that I knew were one, so it was a bit of a shock.  As long as I know we'll be safe, then I'd like to stay," she agreed, hoping she wasn't being too hasty in wanting to appease her curiosity about Karl and his friend.  But Bridget would be staying too, so it wasn't like either of them were totally helpless.  They had each other, and they looked out for each other, so perhaps everything would turn out all right.
