The Vampire's Apprentice

[Treasure]

"Because you cannot stop yawning?" Clancy suggested with a raised brow and a smirk.

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty licked at her lips, much in the same way an annoyed cat might. "That's not a reason." She grumbled.

 

[Treasure]

"The fact that you need sleep so you can get up in the morning?" Clancy suggested.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Nooooo~" Kitty refused. How dare he make valid points! She yawned again. "That's not a reason either."

 

[Treasure]

"How about if you just lay down and rest your eyes so you can hold them open longer?" Clancy suggested.

 

[KenżaSheep]

She gave him a sideways look; a glare, but with amusement.
"What if I remain where I am?" Kitty asked in reply. She was enjoying this little game; there weren't many nights she could have a go at it past her initial refusal.

 

[Treasure]

"Then you will probably fall off the edge and conk your noggin," Clancy pointed out patiently. "Laying down sounds like the less painful option."

 

[KenżaSheep]

"But you would catch me," Kitty answered. "I know you would."

 

[Treasure]

"What if I let you fall to let you learn?" Clancy asked as he moved over to sit next to her.

 

[KenżaSheep]

She looked up at him. "Would I learn?"

 

[Treasure]

"I could always hope," Clancy said wryly. "Once we get settled, perhaps you can move your sleep schedule to sleep later in the day and therefore stay up later at night."

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Maybe I will," Kitty agreed, resting her temple against his shoulder. "But we can jump that cow when we get to it."

 

[Treasure]

"I would rather leave the jumping of bovine to someone else," Clancy said in amusement as he put an arm around her.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Mmm...." She thought about this. "If you don't go over the cow, do you go under it? Or just let it stand in your way?"

 

[Treasure]

"I would be wondering why I'm anywhere near a cow," Clancy said. "Here, let's move up more on the bed where it is more comfortable."

 

[KenżaSheep]

Kitty sighed and relented to his relocation. "But if you were anywhere near a cow and it stood in your way, wouldn't you go over it?"

 

[Treasure]

"I think I would push and prod it out of my way," Clancy said, settling down with her once more.

 

[KenżaSheep]

"And what if it didn't move?" She pressed. "And you couldn't go around it? Like... if it were on a bridge."

 

[Treasure]

Clancy heaved a sigh. "Kitty... please just go to sleep," he half pleaded. "Enough with the cows. I would probably make it move somehow."

 

[KenżaSheep]

"Fine," she mumbled quietly. Kitty nestled herself under the covers, lying on her stomach, and pulled the blanket up to her chin. Stung, but not badly. He probably had places to be, after all.
