loved by the sun

[savors]

Who: Abby and you!
What: The first day of her loss. Surprised vampire kid is surprised.
When: Sunrise, February 17th. After this.
Where: The garden.
Rating: PG.

Time is something she has learned to become very familiar with, especially when it comes to the daylight hours. She didn't sparkle in the sunlight and was not in possession of anything that may ward off the sun for any length of time. To make a long story short; if the sun touched her skin and she was unable to get away from it? She would die.

So, then, one could only imagine her surprise after she lost track of time and had little warning before she felt the warmth of the sun's rays on her face. Warmth, but no pain. Still, she can't help the way she jerks away, grits her teeth and crouches to hide in what little shadow is left, waiting for the inevitable -- but it never comes.

So, looking utterly dumbfounded, she hesitantly raises a hand and wiggles her fingers, marveling at the way the sunlight painlessly trickles through her fingers. Daring to test her luck further, she walks back toward the entrance of the castle and stands near the doors. It probably looks like a silly display to most, but she's still waiting for either a.) her luck to run out or b.) herself to wake up.

When neither happens? Well, she's at a loss and it shows, at least through her expression.

She's still looking at her hand as if this is the first time she has seen it when the familiar voice snaps her out of the daze. Having been expecting to see him fully clad in armor, she takes a second or two to stare at his face. Ah, so there was a human under the suit after all.

The humor isn't lost on her, as she smiles briefly and drops her hand to her side.

"Aren't you?"

Church tries not to feel self conscious as she stares, telling himself it's just because it's the first time she's seen his face... It's the first time he's had a face to see in a long time.

"Nah, I don't sleep during the day."

He shrugs and nods in her direction.

"Something wrong?"

It's exactly that, not that she's known him long enough to merit a ton of surprise. She returns her attention to her hand while shaking her head, not quite as ready to spill the beans to him just yet. Hopefully he doesn't pick up on the fact that she's completely and utterly lying through her teeth here.

"Nothing is wrong, I just thought I saw something."

"What are you going to turn into a pumpkin or something?"

He raises an eyebrow skeptically.
York had told about losses that could turn him human again... and she sleeps during the day... nah, that's way to hammer-film to be a real thing.
