After dinner, the two explore the ins and outs of the ancient underworld castle. They even venture up the creepy, curlish tendril of a spiral staircase - the one that leads up to the tower. Theopolis arrives at the top first. Peering over the edge, he throws a tiny stone off the tower ledge and watches it fall all the way down.

“Cool,” he says as Jessica finally arrives at the top. After a long pause he admits thinking more about the near troll fight than the castle.

“I should have bitten,” he says. Jessica rolls her eyes as he rolls another pebble off the side of the tower’s alcove window ledge and watches it fall into the darkness. Then he stands up, smiling, and looks at her, first in the eyes, and then at her neck. His fangs show accidentally. He looks back into her eyes, “Sorry. I’m having fun - that’s all. Didn’t mean to smile, you know, quite so wide,” he explains.

Jessica rolls her eyes again, “You were staring at my neck!”

“Must be this creepy, old tower,” Theopolis scoffs, “besides, you’re a vampire! I’m not gonna feed off you! I’m not a cannibal! Ancient sakes and all the dead! Loosen up.” Jessica looks down at her feet for a moment and then gives a quick glance toward the open doorway to the spiral stairs in a subconscious estimation - a safe distance from the harm of only evil and evil alone.

“I’m only a half!” she says, her jaw set firmly, her tone accusatory, “Maybe you would?!”

“Drained rats, Jessica, I was just having a little fun.”

“O,” she says and looks around, “Maybe we should go back now?”

Theopolis agrees, “Yeah, okay. How do we?… go back?”

Jessica exasperates, “I thought you knew!”

“No, no,” Theopolis starts, “we’ll go! I just…”

“I just assumed - the Legend Teller - He’s your friend - and you’d already heard the story! O vitals, I forgot to ask you if you knew the way home!”

“I told you not to say home,” he snaps, “let me think - I’ll figure it out. The legend teller, okay, did he cover this part in the story? Calm down, Jess. I’m sure he did. I’ll remember, let me think. Well, there’s got to be someone we can ask. Did I say anything to you about getting back? I’ll remember if you remind me. Jess, please, calm down.”
