Piper opened her mouth to dismiss the sentiment but she was really trying to be better at not doing that and accepting it. Dismissing things like that is what she'd always done, even before their deaths so it was a hard habit to break.

"Thank you," she said, her voice softer and she truly meant it. "We took down every single one of them involved - finished... last year. Now it's mostly a matter of what do I do afterward," she admitted with a little smile. "It took a decade but I'm starting to form a stronger friendship with my friend's then-boyfriend." Which really, is putting it mildly - it was a complicated relationship they had. At the end of the day though, she was thankful to the vampire. "He knows me better than just about anyone at this point."

She nodded in understanding. "Yeah, the mission helps keep you focused," Piper agreed. "Oh, I never let anything stop me. People would say it's one of the most irritating qualities about me. It's great to meet someone else who is the same way - who never gives up on what you want."
