"That far?"

"As far as you'll let me."

Hum.

"Okay."

Kiss.

"So, are we sticking around the museum, or...?"

"If you'd like to see it after closing time."

Dani chew her lip a moment. "Maybe some other time? I don't wanna get in more trouble right now..."

"Okay." Kiss. "Trouble baby steps."

"Tiny little caterpillar wiggles."

"Towards a beautiful, tempting light."

"Wait, so now I'm a moth, too?"

"Caterpillars can have some moth-like traits."

"I think you need to take more bio classes."

"I'll keep that in mind when signing up for classes next semester."

"I'm sure it will benefit your metaphors greatly."

"I'll argue I can put it towards a literature minor."

"You'll make it work."

"I'm very talented like that."

"You are!" Kiss.

Much kiss.

"Where do you want to go instead, caterpillar?"

"Take me somewhere with a good view of the sky."

"Your wish is my command."

The best, Carmilla says, is up in the mountains that loom over the town, on a little rocky peak where the trees part and the sky swallows you...

(It feels a bit hazardous to climb up in the dark. Carmilla isn't having any trouble, though, and offers to carry Dani.)

That seems safer.

Scoop?

Eeeee!
