[ His little curled smile breaks into a proper grin at that, fangs flashing as he laughs, seeming so much longer in the light of this costume. What big teeth you have.
It's funny because she's right, because he's supposed to be some big scary vampire, and yet here he is getting upset over some potential costume jewellery. How can he even be sure it's hers and not someone's abandoned costume? He can't, and it's ridiculous that he's even a little affected by it.
When he sees her swallow around her words, concern leaks back in to his expression, and that hand on her cheek slides to her shoulder to keep her close to him as she explains; he can't deny the flicker of pride in him at her bravery, and feels the unmistakeable and familiar sensation of his heart falling just a little bit more enamoured with her in the wake of it. But then comes the mention of the dark, of something bad. ]
You are incredibly brave to not want to let this thing win. I would have done the same thing if it had been me, I hate the idea of anyone or anything getting one over on me. Whatever it is that lurks in the dark, it cannot beat you. You are much too strong for that.
