( Carmilla is a total sucker for pretty girls and tears. always has been. and there's something about the instant panic, the terror of being exposed, the fear of being outed and reviled that Carmilla entirely relates to. it's been centuries, she's gotten pretty gifted at hiding who and what she is, and she still feels all of the above whether she wants to or not.
she catches Caroline's hand again, and even collects the heels for her before tugging her away from the bonfire and to a less populated part of the beach and toward a dispenser to continue their little chat. )
A vampire? What gave it away? ( a little wry and teasing, hopefully just to break the fearful vice Caroline seems to be under. she doesn't need to be afraid, they're sadly trapped under the same curse. while Carmilla is usually far more cagey, it seems almost cruel to hide her vampirism from the girl that is so new and terrified of it that she's in tears over a kink bingo card potentially outing her. yes, perhaps it's a risk to trust the girl immediately, but... it's a risk worth taking. Carmilla hadn't had the benefit of someone who understood, someone to guide, when she'd been newly turned.
she probably won't be great at it, but, maybe could be even a little help. to make all of it less terrifying. and if she can, then yes, she'll try. so, without any avoidance of the truth, she agrees, ) Yes. I'm a vampire. And it's been a lot longer than a few months for me.
