He walked into the room, cloak swirling, dark hair falling into his eyes, an air of faintly the faintly dangerous about his person as if in a shroud-
“Oh, please” Said Andy (short for Andrea, not Andrew) with a roll of her eyes. “You can’t seriously think that will work. Could you have come up with anything more obvious??” she asked in exasperation. Dane shot her a look comprised of equal parts indignation and embarrassment. “I thought I was supposed to look like a vampire hunter” he said, initial air of danger morphing surprisingly fast into one of wounded pride. “This is how vampire hunters are supposed to look!”
“No” countered Andy, “that’s how vampire hunters look according to teenage girls who have no life and a habit of turning their sexual fantasies into crappy fiction.” She leaned back in her chair, a battered old puke green laz-z-boy recliner, that Andy claimed was the most comfortable chair on the planet, on the day she decided, on a whim, to drag it home from the garbage two blocks down.
“What you have to do is actually look like a vampire hunter. You have to fit in. These guys are the real deal” she said, smacking her black-lace, skirt clad knee for emphasis. “And they have to mistake you for the real deal, too. Which in that”-she curled her lip in a faint sneer- “will not happen.”
“Fuck it!” Dane exclaimed in exasperation, flinging his hands up in the air, then collapsing onto her bed with a long suffering groan.
“If you’re going to be so goddamn picky, why did you tell me to put together my own disguise in the first place? I should have known you’d just decide to do it yourself, anyway” his voice was muffled slightly by the covers his face was pressed into, but the annoyance in his words still came across quite clearly.
With a theatrical sigh that let anyone listening know just what she thought of always having to do everything herself (for that sigh communicated all of that quite clearly), Andy heaved herself off the sagging old chair in a decidedly un-graceful manner, and headed over to her closet to see what she could find.
