"Anyway, it's complicated, so I'd rather not dwell on it", Robin concluded. "I have more important things to deal with right now, the DNA analysis for one thing."
"True, the analysis," Juliette murmured, becoming pensive. Her sudden silence was not lost to Robin.
"Jul? What's wrong, has your mother said anything to you?"
"No, nothing yet, but I also know a bit about genetics and…"
"And you've drawn your own conclusions about the 'unknown' DNA in me, is that it?"
"Well, I can't venture any theories without due testing, but…"
"You have a hint of what might be happening with me? Come on, Jul, talk to me, whatever it is I can handle it".
"I know you can, but if I tell you anything that comes to mind, I'd be just speculating. So I'll tell you only this: whatever is going on with your DNA, whatever you are, I don't care. I'll still love you whether you're a vampire, a werewolf or whatever." Juliette stated, Robin lost all his seriousness and held back a chuckle.
"A werewolf? Come on Jul," he grinned. Juliette blushed.
"I was just saying. It may sound silly, but it's the truth, I do love you and I'll never leave you, no matter what kind your DNA is."
"I love you too, dear. And it's not silly at all, in fact it's lovely, and a relief at the same time to hear that from you".
Yeah, it was certainly a relief, thing was she had mentioned all sorts of occult creatures, except for one. And luckily, she wasn't looking into his eyes now, how they had momentarily changed from their natural color to an eerie pitch black. He couldn't see them either but could feel every time it happened.
He quickly turned his back on her to prevent her from seeing his eyes while they slowly returned to their normal color.
"I wouldn't mind if you were an alien either," Juliette added, oblivious to his sudden distress.
"Really? Most people are terrified of aliens."
"Not me. And I'd still love you if you were one".
"That's… good to know," he muttered.
"But. why do you bring that up? Have you noticed anything about yourself that would indicate that you're alien?" She rushed to ask.
"I-I haven't noticed anything in particular," he answered.
"What about those 'powers' Dustin mentioned?"
"There are no such powers, Dust sure wasn't being serious."
"Dustin is imaginative, yes, but he wouldn't joke about something like this."
"Well, I still think it's best if we wait for the test results."
