"I might need more specific guidelines on what I can and cannot talk about here."

"No you, uh, you can talk about whatever you like. My instincts are stupid and you shouldn't stop doing things on account of them, I'll deal."

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I'm more interested in having an accurate model of you and knowing about your life than I care about being uncomfortable."

"Is it by any chance mollifying that I was a virgin until I was forty-something?"

She doesn't growl. There's no growling going on. The fact that he's been having sex for one hundred and thirty years is none of her business. "It does mean you'd probably either been spending a lot of time alone or around blind people," she tries and mostly fails to say lightly.

"I hope you're not buying into the stereotype that most demons are rapists. I was a virgin until I was forty-something because that's about how long it took me to figure I didn't necessarily have to be in true love or anything, not because nobody ever looked at me twice."

"I'm not buying into any stereotypes, I don't think. And, well, I'm in true love with you, hopefully I'll get you in true love with me and everything will work out just fine."

"You're in weird magic love with me," Cam points out. "Possibly prophetic weird magic love, but still, I'm not sure it's a Disney classic in the making."

"...I'm pretty sure love-at-first-sight is in fact a Disney classic. Ours is definitely less creepy than Snow White."

"Okay, that I'll give you, but the prince was at least not mind controlled, unless I'm remembering it wrong."

"I'm not mind controlled, I just have inexplicable knowledge that you and I are as romantically compatible as two people could possibly be."

"That mere knowledge would not, I think, do the thing it seems to have done. Like, that's a dating network result. It's not customary to declare eternal love, growl about past sex partners, and have two weeks of sex over a dating network result."

"Right, inexplicable knowledge plus the love itself, then." She sighs. "Fine, I'm a little bit mind controlled."

"It's kind of disturbing, honestly."

"Yes, a little bit, but I can't say it's not worth it. The perks more than make up for it, and my core personality certainly didn't change, and I get to find you."

"Did you want to find a mate, before you did?"

"I guess it's better to describe it as being resigned to finding one? I knew it'd happen eventually, it was a possibility I kept in mind."

"But now, of course, you're delighted..."

"I also knew I'd be delighted afterwards," she shrugs. "And I mean, like I said, no personality change, so you're the type of person I'd have eventually fallen in love with even sans vampirism."

"So you assume."

"So far the evidence's been stacking up. My plans when I turned were to overthrow and supplant the evil shadow government, but someone else beat me to the punch. I think at least superficially that's the sort of person that'd fall in love with the Revelation, yes?"

"I mean, I can't contradict you, or anything, but I haven't ever been in love and it's sort of weird that you'd step out of a portal and land on me first thing and happen to find we're soulmates."

"...I think I've fallen in love when I was human, a couple of times, but. It really doesn't compare. But I mean, yeah, it's weird, also I'm a magic biokinetic vampire and you're a demon with arbitrary conjuration skills."

"There's billions of demons with arbitrary conjuration skills, that is not an unlikely part of this scenario."
