You're easy to like. You're kind and fun to be around. It's natural others would be worried.
(It's interesting. Even back home, only a few people ever stop to ask his feelings. He's usually so flippant and vague, most people give up. There are even fewer in this world who try and when confronted with the question, he's glad that this is all through a messaging system instead of in person.

[ Poor Tsururu... It's supposed to be easier to lie through text, not harder!
And yes, she completely sidesteps the bit about her being easy to like, because she's not sure she can handle any more emotions today. ]
If you want people to not worry about you, You need to concede a little bit (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ Admit to something small, like being tired or having a headache. Otherwise it's too obvious .｡･ﾟﾟ･(＞_＜)･ﾟﾟ･｡.
[ She's a professional, she can share her wisdom with her best friend. Also lying is really a human thing... Tsururu more human than he'll ever admit?! ]
However, it won't work on me. I know all the tricks, ehe (⌒▽⌒)☆
There's nothing to concede! I was infected by that bat disease and it was annoying at first but I'm fine now.
(Does that count? He only admits to it because he knows he won't be able to hide it from everyone for very long. It's no secret that some of the Outsiders were infected and turned into vampires. There just hasn't been any sort of list made public.)
The first few times we met |_・) If I told you I was doing fine, It was probably a lie (シ_ _)シ
[ Tiny white lies...! It's taken her a lot of time to be more honest about how she feels... Even now, she's still trying to do better in that regard. ]
(It was the best they could really do at the time. There may be more updates as they understand the situation better but for now, they're just trying to get by,)
At first, I didn't know what was wrong. I waited too long to be seen and had to be given real blood.
(He's very chill about all of this. As usual. But hmmm...
After a long pause (one can only assume he was thinking carefully if he was going to send it or not), he adds,)
[ She's surprised! Not that he's tasted blood (she got a good idea of where that blood may have come from), but that he didn't like it. That goes against everything she knows about vampires. ]
You didn't? That's weird. In human books, vampires always love real blood...
[ There's a bit of a delay here. ]
I mean (・_・;) I suppose romances wouldn't be very accurate to life... Please pretend I did not say that (ノ*°▽°*)
[ Those messages never happened. Please Tsuru, clear your brain from having ever read them! And to shift the topic around: ]
Maybe since you're a kami, your very nature is fighting against the vampirism. Bloodsucking is typically conceptualized as a demonic thing, after all.
W Well they're not academic texts. They're what I read during my breaks to distract myself.
[ He wouldn't believe the slop she reads to fill the void in her life. After a while when you're immortal you've read all the classics and all you're left with are the mass-produced Twilights and Fifty Shades of this world... ]
You master would not be disappointed! That this happened to you wasn't your will. If you blame yourself for this, I must blame myself for the kidnapping.
I didn't know you liked romances Tsuru! I can introduce you to the classics o(≧▽≦)o I'll send you The Goddess Bride. It's my favorite (〃＾▽＾〃)
[ The unlikely love story between a lonely goddess and a pained demon king who kidnaps her! An absolute classic. He has years before him until he's consumed all the good(?) stuff and is left only with the Twilights-type books. ]
Mhm. I think your master would be proud. They wouldn't be disappointed at all. They'd see what a fine young man you have become. Making friends, helping others and fighting the good fight.
Now it's his turn to be surprised. It's one thing to be told that someone would be proud of him but it's another to actually hear someone say they are proud of him.)
Are you? I make sure to never let you down.
(He's actually very touched by this..... he just has to play it cool thru text.)

@queenofkur
Thank you.
Though no longer in the dark, you did find me indeed.
no subject
Ah, are those messages going through? Did they all come in at once? I hope you weren't overwhelmed.
no subject
Positively, for once.
I hadn't realized how many people here care for me...
I think I'm going to try it. To be who I want to be.
[ P-Progress! More importantly though: ]
But how are you feeling Tsuru?
You've helped me so much, yet you still talk so little of your feelings.

I'm fine.

There's no reason to worry about me, Erechan.

Vampirism? ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ
It's very serious!
Have they decent pain and thirst killers for you?
Have you found safe sources of blood till they have a cure?
[ "I'm fine," he said. "You shouldn't worry for me," he said. And he just announces like that he's become a vampire! Incorrigible Tsururu. ]
no subject
Well, it was all fine in the end.
(So his feelings aren't hurt at all.)
They gave iron pills and an iron rich diet.
(It was the best they could really do at the time. There may be more updates as they understand the situation better but for now, they're just trying to get by,)

(Tell him about these books, Eresh...)
I didn't know they wrote texts about this.
I'd never heard of "vampires" until Brasov so all of this is new to me.
I don't know if that's why, though.
A sword has no problem with blood.
But for some reason, the idea of tasting it like this feels
(Well, he doesn't know how it feels and he takes a few seconds to consider it,)
I think my master would be disappointed by what I've let happen to my body.

[ There! Find a counter to that one, ehehe. ]
no subject
I want to read them too so share with me.
(Introduce him to Twilight. He'll join your book club, Eresh!!!)
Ah?
(He sees exactly what she did there and if she says it like that then... well, he knows he can't argue.)
Hmm.
Maybe they would forgive me.
If they were here, they would probably just sigh and fix the problem for themselves.

You know, cranes are supposed to be very romantic.

I have a huge list of recommendation awaiting you!
[ He's gonna drown under them. ]
I am, obviously.
I never say things I don't think.
I wish I could pinch your cheek right now, ehehe.
