Ru- "...Well, it is our fault for hoping something good would come of going to a party where a bunch of rich people bid on us, and we were too blind to notice it. August has a good heart, how would he know what was going to happen? I'm sure he thought this was all good promotion. That is what we thought too." "I went to help him, but I also went because I wanted to make more films." "You went because you wanted to make more films." "In that way it's equally our faults." Ru closed his eyes and mouth and leaned back. "I'm sorry Babette. I should have driven you all home." Ru made a small choking sound and then laughed. "Two pure siblings tormented and killed by a vampire. Chloe was the real vampyre. She got the best of us."

Ru- "...If you don't want to blame her, blame Wilhelm. I was even flattered when he complimented me. Then he ate August ten minutes later." Ru stares back blankly. It was a sore spot to have felt flattered by the man who caused all of this, more or less directly.
He wondered if it would have been better if... no, it wasn't worth speculating on.

She snarled." Wilhelm can rot. " Babette had a new target for her misplaced anger.

Ru- Ru closed his eyes and was quiet for a long time. Then seemed amused again."...They're...they're homosexual. The ones that didn't choose you. They're homosexual. Or women. You win, you're the most beloved person ever. You would be a great movie star. They knew with me, that's why...I bet Lord Dragomir is kinky." Ru was oddly matter-of-fact with this consideration, as if it had taken forever to dawn on him. They had precisely no interest in Babette, which he had attributed to professionalism, but was actually their lack of interest in the female sex.

"Stop. Just stop. I don't want you to talk about that anymore! Seriously." She considered her predicament again." You can have Thierry. Okay, I changed my mind. Let's get out of here now. Any ideas? Because if you don't think of something, I'm going to pull on these straps until my dainty little hands pop off."

Ru- "I'm sorry Babette. I didn' t mean to be upsetting. I just realized you would have been a great movie star, and we know more about our enemy now." "How do you think I feel? I blushed when the guy who landed us here said I was pretty." Ru realized that his aspirations had always been low. He had never wanted to be a doctor or a nurse, or to run a great company. Instead he had been happy with the idea of owning a small business and living a casually alternative lifestyle.
It wasn't the same as Babette's grand dreams of stardom. She had so much more to lose."There's no way out, and I have the feeling they'll let us out eventually. You're going to break your hand, Babette. Remember, if anyone is in control of a situation, it is you. You may be vulnerable but you have more power if you aren't too rash and don't play your cards wrong."

"Too late. I'm not going to be the bride to a thirteen year old vampire who looks and acts like my hairy little brother. And he's the best option of that bunch. The hand is coming off, Darling. Toodles!" She pulled back her left arm as violently as she could. Babette will not stop tugging until something snaps! Should we pause here?

Ru- Ru pauses for a very long time again, and seems to be processing information. Finally he said something again. "I don't want anyone. I want to go home and tell my mother I'm still alive. How long have we been in here?" Ru wiggled to try to stop her, but of course couldn't move and wouldn't move hard enough to snap anything. "...Babette, wait, ignore what I said. I don't know anything." It will probably be that Aubrey guy, his brain added unhelpfully. "...Where are you going to run to if they can disable us by looking?"

"It won't be much longer, I can promise you that! We're leaving this dump together." The violent tugging continued!

Ru- Well, that was the last of his logic and reasoning reserves he was going to use today.
He entertained the idea of escape, but escape to where? Did the other vampires have powers? They seemed to have no more than they did when they were ordinary humans, it seems. "Babette are you going to be able to heal if you break your wrist?"

Babette's stretcher rocked as she tugged at her restraints. As thin as her wrists were, they were strapped in tight and the bone of her thumb kept her hands from slipping through. It seemed she really could try breaking her hands, or just keep pulling and maybe whatever they were attached to would break away?

In a sing-songy voice, she said, "I guess we'll find out." Still afraid to mess up her fingers, since they may be necessary to undo the straps, she continued pulling. Hopefully, something non-Babette would break first. Option dos! As she struggled, she tried to assure Ru that everything would be juuuust fine."We'll go to my apartment. I have one thousand squirreled away - that's my life's savings, and we'll need it. Next? You and I lay low, avoid the sunlight, escape this city ... maybe catch a red eye to Bribeaux? I have relatives there. We can start over."

((So is she willing to let herself break? The thousand Glenmark question...))
