"I could have Manfred take us there."

"Still kinda surprised you have a butler."

"Why?"

"People don't tend to have butlers, I didn't know you too well, it comes as a bit of a surprise."

"My parents are very rich."

"It makes sense. Sorta. I just hadn't gone 'oh there's a rich family' and 'oh Willow is from it' and 'rich families might have butlers' to 'I wonder if Willow has a butler'."

"Yeah. I like Manfred, he took care of me and my siblings all our lives."

"So, whereabouts are the derelict buildings and are we going to wait until nightfall for this stuff?"

She names a town right over there, and about waiting looks at Theo.

"… Probably should? I mean, I could take the car there and then get out and try testing it quickly, but if it does apply, that combined with sunlight could make a pretty bad combination?"

"This restriction of yours is pretty annoying. You should fix it."

"… Fix my inability to cope with sunlight?"

"Yep."

"I'm not immediately sure how to but sure, why don't I try some SPF 50 or something." Eyeroll.

"Do we have any tests we could perform now, while it's daytime?"

"I mean, I could go try inhaling while underwater in the bath or something, but other tests, uh, my blood tasted disgusting but might still have some effects on me in higher quantity, we should test the blood that has not congealed is still effective, and it turns out I have not noticed any actual proper hunger in the periods between eating deer, just noticed that I'm slightly bitier? – They're somehow distinct."

"Yeah the whole thing seems to be just in your head. Uh, inhaling while underwater?"

"We were talking about the fact I apparently didn't need to breathe, see if that's just 'I'm breathing so slightly I don't notice it' or 'I have a weird vampire inability to notice myself breathing' or 'I actually do not need to breathe air to survive', so, go underwater to test if I need to breathe and then also see if me inhaling water, you know, feels– bad like it should."

"Oh. Right. Ew. Um, to test if you need to breathe though you could just—hold your breath underwater for a long time?"

"Yup, and then I meant as an extended test see if I'm actually harmed by attemptedly 'drowning' as a human is, seeing as how I'm seemingly less harmed by other things."

"Ah, right."

"Sounds unpleasant."

"I mean, so was cutting myself with a knife, but I died and became a vampire and I'm kinda morbidly curious about how far my regeneration and such go…"

Ew.

Ew indeed. They are both ewing.
