Anya didn't know what her papa meant by 'getting a large meal', but she was always thankful for the food and looked forward to something big. Her papa's blood was really good, but lately she had started craving more. Probably because she was a growing girl.

Papa tugged his arm away, however, when they heard a loud noise. Anya was still a little hungry, but if someone was in danger that was more important. Besides, she could control herself. It was enough for the night.

"OK, papa," replied Anya. For some reason, her papa had to fight monsters a lot. Sometimes she felt a little sorry for them, because her papa always won. Anya wasn't allowed to get involved in fights, though, so she would probably have to stay in the room.

"Be safe, and try to finish soon so we can go to sleep."

Of course Anya knew that her papa would be safe because he was the best ever, but she still worried a bit. She worried, and she needed him nearby to get to sleep.
