[Katsuki does notice when her spikes near him soften. Good, he thinks. She recognizes his voice, and that's a good start at trying to help her feel safe.]

I heard those gross vampires got to 'ya. They got me, too.

[He'll start with letting her know that she's not alone. That her "big brother" was hurt the same way as she.]

Dad showed up at the right time, though. He kicked it's butt real good, and then he saved me when I was just inches away from death.

Just like a real Hero.

[Well, he didn't exactly save Katsuki. Katsuki had been turned because by the time Mike arrived he'd already been bitten for far too long to stay human... but he'll fudge the story a little bit for Emeth. Because he also has a direction to go with this, and he hopes he can get her to open up at least a little more.]

I think I gotta do somethin' really big for him in return. But I don't think I can do it myself. I mean... I've only got one arm. I can't even write in a card on my own.

[He's actually pretty capable with his one arm (his right had been removed weeks ago--) but that's another thing he'll lie about for Emeth's sake.]

D'you think you could help me, Emeth? I'm pretty sure Dad's Day is next month. We could make somethin' for him together to thank him for helping both of us.
