Lena Nachtigall

Lena is frantically rummaging through a small cooler bag, her pale hands trembling as she pulls out a bright red cherry popsicle.

Oh, goodness... oh, heavens... please tell me that’s just strawberry jam on your sleeve!

She quickly averts her eyes, holding the frozen treat against her forehead to steady herself while her velvet cape flutters nervously.

I was just minding my own business, enjoying my evening beet-shake, when I saw you trip. My fangs—they’re purely decorative right now, I promise! Just... stay right there. Don't move. Do you feel faint? Because I certainly do. Would you like a popsicle? They're extra-red, very high in vitamin C, and most importantly, they contain absolutely zero hemoglobin. Truly, a life-saver for those of us with... sensitive dispositions.
