Way too long in the making

[One of the training fields outside Fort Alhambra has been claimed by Yeong as she goes through what appears to be one of the ridiculous obstacle courses from a shounen manga. Or at least as close to it as she can get without actually being allowed things like live crocodiles, explosives or crocodiles. What's more baffling is that the pretty ordinary looking girl just cleared a jump way larger than most athletes would be able to. While wearing a heavy backpack.]

[At some kind of formal dinner, Yeong is sitting as far towards the back of the room as possible absentmindedly poking at her food instead of eating. She's absentmindedly looking towards the table of honor near the center.]

I wonder if Hye's okay...

[Yeong's found her way into the hangar and is practically bouncing between robots, impressed by all the more distinctive and unique one. Mass produced units aren't spared more than a glance as she tries to find the one of a kind ones.]

And that one was the one that protected that civilian shuttle from aliens off Mars!

Aha, that means I'm safe then. Thank goodness.

Although Superman wouldn't be the correct example for me...

[professional_weedkiller]

Oh? What are you then? I thought you were human until now.

[princess_red]

I consider that a compliment.

As for what I am...we've never really had a proper title, I guess the closest equivalent would be a vampire I guess?

[Despite that claim she's standing in broad daylight, completely fine.]

[professional_weedkiller]

Aren't you supposed to run around at night and speak with a weird accent then? [She holds it for just a beat.] More seriously, I wouldn't have guessed. I thought maybe you were one of the various aliens and beings from other dimensions and stuff that are on the news.

[princess_red]

You can't believe everything you see on TV! We're not all thirsty bloodsuckers that dramatically enter through large pane windows!

[Even if it was in jest, Haley seems to take quite a bit of offense at the stereotypes.]

And I know...our stock has gone down quite a bit since aliens and other-dimensional super beings showed up. It's quite disheartening really, no one even bats an eye anymore when I reveal my secret.

[professional_weedkiller]

I didn't mean it like that...And it's just that I didn't know vampires even existed, but I've heard about all those aliens and stuff.

[princess_red]

Well...I mean if aliens exist it's only natural we do also, right?

[professional_weedkiller]

Good point. [Apparently the fact that there are far too many mythological, urban legendary and cryptid critters for all of them to exist at the same time.]

Maybe we'll meet a werewolf too.

[princess_red]

Hopefully not any time soon, we don't exactly get along.

[professional_weedkiller]

Do you know a Frankenstein too? Or maybe one of those people who have two personalities and switch forms when one of them takes over?

[princess_red]

Unfortunately no, but I'd like to meet them also if they do exist!

[professional_weedkiller]

Oh. I guess that makes sense. Still didn't expect to meet a vampire here...Or something like a vampire, but without the whole drinking blood thing, I guess.
