[ It was an accident. Five hadn't meant to see anything when he interfered, much like so many of their encounters. What they've learned about each other, deep secrets that never would have been admitted to otherwise, have all been happenstance. At what point does it cross the line? When is it no longer stumbling on truths and borders on stalking?
Everyone has a story for how they became a monster. Five isn't any different. He can't even claim superiority for having prevented the apocalypse when he and his family caused two, soon to be three, and that's not even counting how little he's helped prevent them here. If anyone should be able to relate, it should be him.
If he were more in touch with his humanity, maybe he'd be able to be someone she came to without the underlying distrust. He'd learn what she is without having to resort to magic tricks. (He's still grappling with what he saw. Is it any surprise to him that she's the storybook definition of a vampire?) Against his better judgment, or maybe as an apology, he sighs and sits next to her. ]
You shouldn't linger out here. [ Not alone. What happened to her could have just as easily been him, and he knows it. ] Who would you be if you couldn't remember?
