Anya's face fell a little when she learned that she would be apart from her papa. Just about the only good thing about being a vampire was that he always spent time with her now, and he was off doing things on his own.

But then she remembered that Mr. Elric was a very nice man, and smiled back at her papa. They would go sightseeing together later, and she would befriend Mr. Elric now. Mr. Elric was probably really fun anyways.

"Alright, papa," said Anya, waving goodbye to her father, "But come back really soon, OK? Have fun on your errands."

Anya still didn't like him leaving her, and it made her a little scared after that bad dream she had, but Anya got the impression that 'errands' were adults only things that she just wasn't allowed to go to. If her papa wasn't taking her along, it was probably something that absolutely could not be done with her around.
