While saddened that her papa hadn't found anywhere fun, Anya's eyes lit up at the thought of stargazing with her father. Stars were really pretty, and having her papa there with her made looking at the stars even better. The girl nodded somewhat enthusiastically.
"Yes, it sounds really fun!"
And it was one of the few fun things she could do outside now that she was a vampire, because it only happened at night. Since most children were in bed by then, and most adults were inside, it felt kind of like a special thing for just she and her papa.
Anya was about to wipe some of the excess blood off of her face with her sleeve before she remembered that that was impolite, and began looking around a bit.
"Papa? Do you have a handkerchief? I think I ate a little messy."

Yes, I also am present if that was in question.
Anya nodded and tried to give her papa a brave smile back, but it ended up looking somewhat melancholic as she returned to guzzling her drink. When she had finished, she looked back up at her father hopefully.
"Did you find any fun places while you were out?"
Maybe if she went out and played with her papa, or got a little closer to curing the vampirism, she would feel a bit less sad.

Anya continued crying after her father reassured her and went to get something. By the time he came back, her raucous bawling had turned into soft sobbing. The sobbing slowly turned into quiet sniffling before Anya acquiesced to her breakfast. She took the stein with trembling hands, and sipped from it. Still trembling, she brought it closer to her lips and the time in between sips lessened until it was nonexistent.
It had been a while since she had had so much available to her, and she was practically starving. While somewhat reluctant, Anya couldn't stop herself from drinking all that was laid out for her.
She did manage, however, to stop for a second in the middle of her meal to say something.
"Thank you, papa."

Anya continued choking and blubbering into her father's chest as he picked her up and brought her to their bedroom. After a few minutes, he asked if she was hungry, and Anya was ashamed to say that she was. But she needed to eat.
"Y-yes!" replied Anya before falling back into tears again. She liked blood. It tasted good. It made her feel satisfied.
She didn't want to like blood, though. Or how it tasted. And she certainly didn't want drinking it to satisfy her.
"I can stop being a vampire soon, right papa?" Anya choked through the tears.

Anya put her arms around her father and continued to cry, shaking her head.
"I know you had to do it," she blubbered through the tears, "I'm not angry at you, I-"
Anya's words were interrupted by more uncontrollable bawling and heaving. She couldn't seem to finish the thought without choking on her tears even more, and resorted to a sort of mantra whenever she could get her words out.
"I'm trying my best," she repeated over and over through the tears, "I'm trying my best..."

As Anya reformed, she glanced at Remington's flailing, bloody body on the ground before violently turning away. Only minutes ago she was talking to this man, and couldn't for the world ever imagine that he would do something bad to her. Now he was as good as dead, on the floor after bringing a dagger to her throat. She understood that he was bad and that her papa had to do what he did, but she still didn't like it.
"...It's fine, papa," Anya replied, as she lumbered towards the door. She didn't want to be in there any more, and it wasn't just the body. She was beginning to feel hungry, and being around the intense smell of blood might make her lose control. She imagined sticking her fangs into Remington and feeding on him, which made her feel ashamed and nauseous. It was OK when her papa was letting her do it, holding her and smiling, but the thought of attacking someone near death in cold blood like that made her queasy.
Anya stumbled out the door, and walked a few feet before collapsing in tears on the opposite wall.

Anya was really taken by surprise when one of her potential friends grabbed her and stuck a dagger to her neck. She simply stood there, shocked, as her father burst into the room. Who could have expected that this stranger was secretly a bad man? Not Anya, certainly, because the stranger said himself that he was nice. That he was helping mister Elric feel better.
Was mister Elric bad? Was the big squirrel bad? Who else was bad that Anya thought fondly of? Would any of them put a dagger to her neck?
"Papa," she murmured softly, tears beginning to slide down her cold cheek. She looked at her father with frightened, pleading eyes. She knew what he had to do, and she knew what she had to do even though she still didn't want the stranger to get hurt.
Anya blinked a few more tears away, and turned suddenly into a cloud of mist.

Anya looked at Remington, confused. She wasn't entirely sure what she was being asked, but she would clarify.
"Of course I said Sir-"
But just then, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. Her papa was back! She bet that if they didn't find the knight book, her papa could definitely tell some cool knight stories to them. He also probably brought snacks too.
"I'm in the study," called out Anya, "A Stranger Who is a Friend of Elric's and I are looking for a book about knights to read to mister Elric so that he feels better because he's sick! And also we're going to eat snacks!"

Luanne wanted to keep herself from talking, because she was certain that she would end up saying something impolite and her sister really seemed to want to get on with these yankees, but the questions and comments filling her head were pounding on the dadgum dam of her mouth and were about to spill out and power the whole damn city.
"I's the older one, by 'bout seven minutes," announced Luanne, "And yeah we's close, but I ain't gonna marry 'er. I wants to trust you folks, but somethin' 'bout yer story don't seem right; and it ain't jes' the marryin' a girl part which I never dadgum heard of. See, our pa was a doctor, and though I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed I'm purty sure two girls can't have a baby; speakin' biological o' course. Still up in the air 'bout the marriage thing."
Luanne sat there for a couple of seconds before turning to Kate and continuing. The flood, at this point, could not be stopped.
"Also, I think yer wife is flirtin' with me. Y'all best keep that woman on a leash 'less she starts kissin' me and whatnot. Keepin' faithful is, uh, th' key to a good marriage."
