The changes in her heartbeat, and her breathing and her scent have gone unnoticed to a more human study partner, but Keiavan picked up on all of it. The disappointed skip of her heart when he didn’t try the coffee that she had brought for him. He knew he could soothe her by explaining why he didn’t. But the admittance that he had not had enough blood to partake in human food didn’t sound like it would be soothing in his head.
Rose was nervous and it was making him nervous. He knew it was he, the vampire, that was making her nervous. Which bothered him for all the obvious reasons. He realized he wasn’t listening to what she was saying, but she was pouting at him. He looked down his nose at the plump red painted lip that was jutted in his direction. He looked away and back to her paper, scanning the red marks that marred her mistakes.
Keiavan forced a laugh when she accused him of loving French. It sounded obvious to him, and he was focusing too much on smiling without showing his fangs. “French is alright, but I don’t love it. My mother insisted I learn. She was more keen on teaching it to me than Veridian, which took me longer to pick up because I was older. She says it’s the only part of my birth father she could give me.” Kei didn’t know why he had told her that. The words had just sort of poured out him before he could stop them. He sighed and scolded himself for oversharing.
“I can’t help you with sign language, but you’re not wrong. At the end of the day it might be more useful.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Let’s start with your conjugation. We can go over that in the time we have. I can only stay until seven.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
