I'm still not completely sure how that song reminds you of me. I suppose it isn't a bad thing however. At least you are thinking of me in a manner other than how you can embarrass me somehow.

[A slight sigh goes here.]

You're very troubling sometimes.

...and what song would that be?

[Not as if he'd recognize it, anyway. But his mun is interested, too.]

Richter! Hello again! It's been too long.

I can't say it's really in a style I know but it is a rather pretty song.

... Ah, "I'm Not Calling You a Liar" by a musical group known as Florence and the Machine, I believe? Don't ask me what 'machine' that is or even whom Florence might be precisely.

It is a nice song, I suppose. It is rather morbid, though, wouldn't you agree?

[And he's not even going to ask how it reminds anyone of Maria, nor will he bring up you know who.]

It really is, isn't it? I would hope I inspire lighter moods in others.

I've no doubt that you do.

[Blink blink.]

You admitted to that rather easily.

Ah, well.

[He clears his throat and, after searching for the appropriate words, shrugs.]

I know better than to argue.

[Oh she can't help the laughter.]

Annette has broke you of that, has she?

[She's kidding, honest.]

Mm. And people think I am the only one who brandishes a whip...

Annette can be very headstrong. In a good way, of course.

[To say the least. But enough about that...

There's an amused grin threatening to force its way through an otherwise (mostly) calm expression.]

I hear it may be contagious behavior...

[Innocent. Totally innocent.]

[She sees that grin, mister. Hands perch on her hips.]

And just what do you mean by that, hm?

[Innocent, I said!]

Well...

[Quick, quick...]

Simply, that I believe certain behavioral...patterns can be prevalent among family members. In a positive way, of course.

Completely in a positive way.

[She sounds thoroughly unconvinced... for a moment. Then she just laughs.]

A lady must be headstrong around you, Richter. Besides, it wouldn't do for a vampire hunter not to be.

There is no denying that a bit of stubbornness and determination is essential in my occupation. However...

[He squints an eye at her.]

...around me?

It takes stubbornness to deal with stubbornness.

I am not stubborn...

[Is he? Determined, maybe. But stubborn...?]

Oh you definitely are.

That is a matter of personal opinion. You think me stubborn, I see it as energetic and enthusiastic. Annette sees it as something else.

[But we won't get into that.]

[She doesn't breathe a word on her own thoughts about the Annette point.]

It certainly is energetic and enthusiastic. And stubborn too.

Stubbornness can be a good trait, Richter.

Unwillingness to change is a good trait? Such good news.

[Have a smirk.]

Stubbornness doesn't mean you're unwilling to change. You simply need a very good reason for it.
