My parents and I are all brunettes, but my brother has blonde hair. Does that make him our family's ~bright secret~?!
That bit where they're like "no no, can't discuss our stuff, we're trying to make Anita happy!" is really creepy. If LKH wanted to move on from the topic, it would be SO EASY to do so and not look like Anita's crazy selfish.
ANITA: "You don't need to spend every second trying to cheer me up. It's not like I just went through something horribly traumatic. Let's keep talking about it." NATHANIEL: "It's okay; I'm not actively upset about it at the moment, and I don't really want to get into it when we're in public and we only have the length of your lunch break. We can talk about it at home tonight."
WOW. Challenging. That took me all of thirty seconds. (I mean, that wasn't me trying to write good dialogue, but you see what I'm saying.)
Regarding the whole lust/love as part of Belle Morte's line - didn't they say at some point that Jean-Claude had become powerful enough that he was now the head of his own line? In which case, it would make sense that his line could have some differences from Belle Morte's. Of course, LKH keeps calling it Belle Morte's line anyway, so she's not exactly helping. And that doesn't address the fact that only Anita seems to have the love issue.
Oh god.
Anita's going to be the first non-vampire to become a sourdre de sang, isn't she?
