_{[The scene that's broadcast by Diva's device is...definitely not a pleasant one. The bedroom behind her seems to be in total disarray, with books and other objects tossed about, the mirror of her vanity visibly broken, even from this angle. As for Diva herself she's pink in the face, eyes red from having just stopped crying not too long ago. Her fangs peek over her lip as she pouts, long black hair cascading down over the front of her white dress. It looks like she's just thrown quite the tantrum and really, she has. There's a loud sniff that's taken, as she moves to wipe her eyes again with the back of a hand. What could possibly have her so upset? Well...]}

It isn't fair. _[Ah.] Other girls get to have babies or get married and I can't have these things. I can't even go on a date!

_{[While people are out hunting ghouls or putting spirits to rest, it seems Diva's preoccupied with her own restless spirit pertaining to matters of the heart.]}

All I wanted was to go on a date someday and now my lover is gone. It seems like everyone who says they care about me disappears back onto that station, no matter what I do or try to do to keep them by my side...I hate it!

_{[Her feet may be out of view, but the sudden sound of a stomp of a foot gives away that she isn't exactly done with feeling miserable just yet.]}

It's bad enough that I'll outlive everyone on this stupid planet...but is it really so much to ask for? Just one date?

[Now she's being difficult.]

I can only know of you what I have been shown. Broken mirrors and neck wounds are reason enough to have concern.

[~~Presumably she saw Lance's bite marks at some point when they went shopping for scarves.~~]

Everyone throws tantrums sometimes. It's just a mirror.

_{[This is...starting to get frustrating. Why does she always have to defend herself? Why can't people see things from her point of view? It's difficult, expressing emotions when you've been stunted since birth. She could've gone out and eaten her feelings and killed a man like the last time she'd been left by people she cared about. At least this time no one died. Right? Shouldn't that be a good thing? Why is nothing ever good enough!]}

Hey! I was gentle with him and I asked for his permission first. Why don't you just come out and say it - you think I'm a monster, just like everyone else. At least Lance doesn't.

It's not my fault I was born a Chiropteran.

Do not put words in my mouth.

[Unfortunately, for all of her apparent poise, Allura is a bit of a hothead and her voice takes a sharp, clipped tone.]

What if he had said no? Would he still be your hero or is it only because he has something that you want?

[Whether it be blood or attention.]

You don't have to say it to think it.

_{[This rude...girl...who hasn't even told her who she is!]}

If he'd had said no I wouldn't have bit him! If it was only blood I wanted I could feed off plenty of others, you know.

_{[Ah, ah...she's getting antsy. Allura might hear footsteps now, simply because Diva's started to pace her room.]}

And what's wrong with wanting something or someone anyway? Are you just jealous because he's my Hero and not yours?

Edited 2018-09-28 02:39 (UTC)

[And there's the distinct sound of sputtering on Allura's side.]

I am not jealous.

[She could point out that Lance has been her hero for way longer but she's not that shitty. Also that would make Lance's head too big.]

I am only concerned about his safety. This shouldn't be such a difficult conversation.

_{[You should jealous. At least that's how Diva's interpreting the sputter.]}

You're the one making it difficult! If he was in any actual danger he'd be dead by now.

That does not give me any comfort-

[There's a breath that meters itself out through her teeth. She's getting her temper back under control.]

This is going nowhere.

Then what do you want from me? Are you going to take him away from me too? Tell him not to be my friend anymore? Do you know how hard it is to make friends? I'm not even good at it.

I'm not-

[Ah... she feels a little bad.]

I am just concerned. I have never heard of a... person that drinks human blood before. It is easy to be fearful of what you don't understand.

[She's trying!]

Then why don't you try and understand? I've been trying to understand humans and all sorts of people since I woke up on the station. It's not easy either, but I've still been trying.

_{[Because someone who's also gone now told her she needs to try. Thanks Cain.]}

Doesn't my kind deserve the same?

I am trying.

[Can't you tell??]

I apologize for losing my temper.

_{[She can't tell, no.]}

...I'm sorry too.

[That actually makes Allura smile. It takes a lot to apologize and the last person she had it out with on this planet ~~was a petty bitch to the end~~ didn't have it in them to admit their wrongs.]

Perhaps we should start over?

[She's still pretty untrustworthy of this girl, but if Lance is friends with her...]

My name is Princess Allura.

_{[She's doing her best.]}

You're a princess?

I'm Diva. I'm a Chiropteran Queen.

I am.

[And Diva mentioned that she's a queen before, she wasn't sure if she should take it literally or not.]

You are a queen over all of the... Chiropterans?

Mhmm. Both my twin and I are Queens of our kind and the progenitors of our species.

The... progenitors?

[She has a feeling that Queen is being used in a different context than the title her mother had.]

We are the only natural born Chiropterans alive. The rest who exist used to be humans that we've sired.

Are there no children of your species?

[That's what she's gathering from this, anyway. How strange.]

Well we were both children once...but I can't have a baby anymore.

_{[She goes a little more somber at that.]}

The Natha made me sterile. They did it to all of us.

That is...

[Rearing a family was never an immediate concern on Allura's radar. There was always something happening, a war to fight. And with the destruction of her planet, her life plan was irrevocably changed from the one she thought she would have,]

I am sorry. [Genuinely. She knows what it's like to think you're the last of your species.] The Natha have much to answer for.

They do. It's annoying. I didn't really want to have a baby but...having the choice taken away from me makes me feel broken.

_{[Lesser than other ladies, in a way.]}

It's okay though. I guess.
