Maria nodded. She supposed that was true, she'd have said the same thing to him if the roles had been reversed. "I don't hate you, if that's what you're thinking," she said after another silence, realising that he probably had no idea how she felt about everything that was happening. If she wanted him to be honest with her - and she needed him to be - she had to be open, too. "I hate the situation I'm in, sure, but I don't know you well enough to hate you. And it wasn't as if you were the one to force this on us, that was the generation before you. I know better than to blame people for their parent's mistakes."

(Gotta love time differences xD) Astro lead his gaze astray from her, hearing what she said left him kind of speachless. This whole time he had just assumed she would have hated him and anything to do with him, and the whole situation of course, but never once did he think it was bearable for her. "If I was in your situation, honestly, I don't think I'd be able to do it. It's such a bad place to be in and if I were there I don't know how I would be able to handle it." He said after a few moments pause

( true that )
"Twenty years ago I'd have wanted to kill you," Maria said. "But that's the thing about eternal youth, you have so much time to learn to move on." She hadn't had enough, though, not yet. Enough to put away her petty hatred towards any human who so much as looked at her? Yes. Enough to speak to them, befriend them even? Yes. Enough to forgive humanity for enslaving her people? Not even close. She wasn't sure she'd ever get there, no matter how much time eternal youth gave her.

"I don't blame you, Maria. I'd be the same way if that had happened to me, if I was in your shoes." Astro said as he nodded a few times "I want to make this less of a chore. As much as possible, actually. I'd rather be friends with you honestly you seem like a good person. But I guess the circumstances make things different, you know?" He continued and then sighed he got up and made his was to the water debating on going in or not

( it's kinda weird to think about. it gets exestential when, in the early hours of the first of january, I realise that for half the world, it's still last year. )
"Yeah, I know," Maria sighed, watching him stand. "Circumstances have a way of changing things." She sighed again, lying back against the sand. The sunlight prickled against the exposed skin of her hands and feet and face, but she barely noticed. Instead she closed her eyes, continuing to draw patterns on the water's surface. "If you could have decided what happened to us, back when you won the war," she started, cautiously, as if she was afraid of the answer he'd give. "What would you have decided?"

(I get the feeling although it's the other way around. The majority of the world gets into the new year before me lol)
Astro didn't hesitate with his answer, "not this. I know we had a war and many lives were lost but this is not needed. Just because we won doesn't mean we should have control over you and your people. I feel we should be equal but I can't change the fact that us humans are inconsiderate and think about ourselves over anyone or anything else." He stated as he took a seat near the water "I just wish I could change it but there's nothing I can do" he sighed after he said that

( it's definitely strange! it's really cool too, though. )
Maria hummed thoughtfully. "I guess there isn't anything anyone can really do." She didn't believe that, not that he'd ever know. The resistance was growing, but it hadn't made itself known yet. Last time, the vampires had revealed themselves before they'd come up with a solid plan, and it had lost them the war. Vampires knew how to learn from their mistakes. She was doing her bit, too. "It is what it is."

(I totally agree. Kinda weird to think about honestly)
Astro nodded in agreement he put a hand into the water and smiled at the feeling of the cold water. He wasn't sure of what to say at this point but figured if he kept talking it might make things between them a little easier "do you think this will ever change?" He asked as he looked down at the water

"Everything changes eventually," Maria replied. "I doubt this is the exception to this rule. It might not happen during your lifetime or even mine, but eventually someone will come along and make it better." She knew that people were trying, even now. It wasn't a small group of vampires, there were hundreds in this city alone, and more than a few were human. That was the thing about humanity. They always wanted to make things better. Most often for themselves, but there were the few, and she appreciated them.

"Hopefully it comes as soon as possible." Astro said before getting to his feet. "Seeing as you aren't having to to as I say yet, do you need a ride to wherever you're staying? I should head off to get home soon and make sure things are in order." He said as he made his way towards his car.
(We should add some action of sorts soon y'know?)

( we should, yeah. any ideas? )
"I'll stay," Maria said, opening her eyes again. "Thanks, though." She didn't want to leave, not when she didn't have to. She sat up, not wanting to appear entirely rude, and gave a small smile. "I guess I'll see you Monday." She wasn't intending to run into him again, even if she had the ability to. Her last few days were going to be days of freedom, and she'd already spent an afternoon with a man she'd spend years, if not decades, with.

"Sounds good to me" he said while opening the car door. He waved as he got in and started the car and drove off.

( that works! they'd need a meeting place for that, maybe just a courtroom would be fine? and yeah, I feel like we need to start being dramatic here. we could involve the resistance, but honestly I feel like that's a plot device best left for later. thing is, that's also my only idea so I'm at a bit of a loss. )

(Well what if other vampires aside from the resistance tried to kick up some dust you know? Try to get free or find means of being free and somehow they get involved? Or something of the sort? That's all I can really think of)

(Yeah, that works for me and she would only help because she needs them to stop so they don't suspect a resistance too soon? So her people don't get caught too early right?)

( i gots it ) Astro was sitting in the courtroom for what he was told to be the last time. He really just wanted it to be over so he could stay away from this place as long as he could. The long hours spent in the courtroom made it hard to be around it now. He took a look around as they had not yet started but were supposed to have started about ten or so minutes ago.
