[Her expression turns a little more serious, Rose hesitant before she asks.]

Would you... do it all again? Knowing what you do now? [She suspects the answer will be yes but still, there's a part of her that just wants to hear that.]

[graveflowers]

Would I marry Luthir knowing that I would only have one day with him as my husband and would have to raise our daughter alone? Yes. I'd do it a hundred times. It was the best ten minutes of my life and I will never regret anything that helped bring Lucia into this world. And neither would he.

[ she shrugs, running a finger down the bridge of the baby's nose. ] I would have followed him anywhere. He was worth everything.

[littledhampir]

[Maybe she should be sad given the fact that at the end of the day, Luthir is still not here but a smile settles easily across her lips and she bobs her head in understanding and agreement.]

He was pretty good at inspiring that in people. [A willingness to follow him anywhere.

She watches Vi with Lucia for a moment, content to allow silence linger if need be before speaking up again.] I know you've got plenty of people who are there to help out or whatever but you know if you need anything? I mean I suck at babies but, whatever I can do... you just have to say the word.

[graveflowers]

Well, you can keep me company so I don't go insane. She's cute, but Lu's not exactly the best conversationalist.

[littledhampir]

You sure about that? I think people have said the same about me. [Grinning. Granted they mostly just say that Rose tends to hit first, ask questions later but it's almost the same.]

[graveflowers]

At least you know words, she just sort of... [ she trails off and lucia doesn't even take the opportunity to gurgle or fuss, just lays there silently trying to bat at vi's long hair. ] That.

[littledhampir]

Are you - [She hesitates a moment, not sure of she really wants to ask the question before pushing through.] Planning on staying on in the Castle with her?

[graveflowers]

For now, yeah. If I can survive a winter on my own with her I might think of getting a little cottage in the woods.

[ the castle is her home, for sure, but sometimes she was unable to distance herself from the oppressive threats of war and death without physically distancing herself. and she's been fighting for over half her life, she's going to keep fighting long after all the people she loves are dead, she will allow herself the chance to actually live her life guilt free. ]

[littledhampir]

I can't build for crap but I've had some experience with moving heavy things from one place to another so... if you do?

[Of course that would be one of the random things from her life that Rose would actually remember. Sometimes she thought the veil stripped her of anything decent and left her with a lot of grief and annoying crap.]

[graveflowers]

I can handle the building. [ her fingers drum against the ground and some roots spring up out of the grass to twist into a tiny house. maybe for a mouse! ] Not so much the lifting, so thanks, I'll pay you in pizza and my heavenly presence.

[littledhampir]

[Rose watches with a kind of quiet awe, still it seems taken by what people could do, even with all she'd seen before the veil and since.]

Oh yeah, you had me at Pizza. [Grinning and far more relaxed than she had been when she first sat down.] I can probably rope in Dean and Sam for some of the heavy lifting as well... [You're welcome boys.]

[graveflowers]

Oh that's good, 'cause I was going to depend on Archer.

[ she's just going to let that sit. ]
