"Nessy, may I have this dance? That's if you don't mind, Hera," Bostin said as he stood in front of us bravely.
"Of course," I said, as I smiled into his eyes and took his hand.
Hera moved aside and allowed us some room as I stood in the arms of Bostin, yet another brave Gulon ready to become friends with a vampire.
"He enjoys your friendship," Bostin commented in my ear.
"Yes, and I enjoy his. For years, he was the only person who came to see me that didn't want me to eat a human; it was nice," I responded as I continued to follow his steps in the dance.
"He told us the whole story. I, for one, think you're incredibly brave. You are different, and that's why we have chosen to protect you. In time, so will the others around here; it's just that they don't know you and don't understand what you are," he explained.
