"Okay. And the other drawback? Than the mate thing and sparkling."

"Vankires, er. Subsist on blood. The term in my original language actually translates to 'vampire.' But we can subsist on animal blood!" she reassures him as quickly as she can.

"Local vampires can too, I think. So that means- Waaaait, biokinesis. Lucky you."

"Yyyeah, lucky, but, erm, that's. Not all of it."

"Uncontrollable thirst? ...Despite my light tone I am taking this information seriously."

"Yes. Uncontrollable thirst, that never ends, and it's not really thirst as much as it is the same fire and pain you feel while turning, limited to your throat. Blood soothes is a little, temporarily. And humans smell—taste—sound—almost irresistibly delicious. When I was a newborn the vankire who turned me had to rip my arms off once to keep me from going after some hikers on sheer instinct."

"Yikes."

At least such strong negatives indicate that she's probably being honest about it all. If she was trying to push him into it it'd be more tamable drawbacks.

"Er, computers. You were explaining processors I think."

"—there are a few more details. If you want them. Informed decision and all."

"I'm not going to decide until I have time to build a priority matrix and decision tree and so on, but by all means, more detail. I'll probably have questions and have you repeat it all at some point to make sure I didn't forget anything."

"Okay. So: humans taste delicious, animals taste rancid, don't know about fair folk. When you're in hunting mode, it's pretty much all instinct, and you might not notice yourself going for a human if one happens to be nearby. When you eat a human, your eyes go red," and she demonstrates. "Animal, gold. When you're hungry they're black. Eating humans also has subtle psychological and physical effects, making you less able to cooperate or live in society, more aggressive, and stronger, while eating animals makes you smarter and better able to cope with not eating humans. Never having drunk human blood is, I hear, a plus. For the first year after you turn, your eyes are a different shade of red" (demonstration) "and you're physically much stronger and faster than other vankires. Plus, your new senses can be pretty overwhelming, even with all the extra brain room, and that makes it even harder to resist hunting. It adds up to you probably needing to spend at least your newborn year away from any humans."

"...So definitely after I get my degree. Or drop out. That's an option, with a whole other world's academic achievements to explore."

"Yeah. Being in magical love with you means I'll probably want to spend that whole year with you doing literally whatever you want." Pause. "To be honest unless you tell me to go away I'm likely to want to be around you and do literally whatever you want forever anyway."

He has a thought of a certain nature and tries and fails to crush it because it feels like taking advantage. And blushes again.

"If vankires are so durable and strong, um... You mentioned vankire-human babies, how does that not. Break someone."

"...well. It. Often does. We can be very—very—precise. I could caress a soap bubble without popping it. We don't always manage to be very precise in—the heat of the moment. I don't think any human's ever died of vankire sex, though. Mostly, erm. Bruises."

"Bruises, huh?" Healing potions can deal with bruises.

"Well. Nowhere near a final decision but turning does sound pretty good. Especially the non-aging bit, long-term. The mate thing is still weird as rifts but you don't argue with facts. And... I can see some of why the magic thinks we're probably compatible by now, I think. Nothing I could put into words yet, but enough to..." Lean in for a kiss.

oh my god yes

"Eep, you're cold!" ...Not too cold to kiss again, apparently.

Well she was about to apologise for missing this part but she is being kissed by the hottest man on this world.

"This is pretty great. But. I should probably stop kissing you right here or we'll end up breaking the library's rules."

She growls a little when he pulls away and says that but puts her hands in front of her mouth then says, "Oops."

He startles but calms down quickly. "Yeah, oops. Anyway! Should probably do what we came here to do and talk about computers and how to make them here because from what you've told me they'd be a massive hit. Not that I don't want to kiss some more but, this is the wrong place and time."

"Right. Wrong place and time. Computers. Yes."

Computers! She will not think about all the things he could do to her but she will sometimes look like she's thinking those things.

And he will notice that and be kind of distracted!

But he wants to hammer out a decent understanding of what computers are good for and how they compute now, not after... Whatever's going to happen. The magic whiteboards will help. Diagrams and so on.

Not too long. "I wanna hear all about what else your world has later, but let's make a basic outline that eventually leads to computers and then. I have a single room, no roommate."

"Yeslet'sdothatIcandefinitelydothatyep."

She can definitely do that. Or help him do that. Or whatever.

He's pretty excited about that idea too. Not quite a teenage boy anymore but the stereotype persists.

1. Get silicon form somewhere (A Fate? Mine and purify?)
2. Practice making circuit components from silicon. (rely on Sadde's memories? Go to her world get books?)
3. Figure out other components needed for electronics.
4. Design or borrow a design for a basic computer.
5. Make computers!
6. Profit?

"That's a really sparse plan but it'll do for now let's go."
