Hello! For the pet AU, i was wondering if you could tell us a bit more about Yui’s work at the shelter, especially how she interacts with each of the vampires (and perhaps, what they think of her?) Thank you! I really like your blog!

-Yui isn’t allowed to do anything high risk (because liability and her age), so most of what her volunteer work entails is just basic chores, the kind of things that are by no means glamorous, but need to be done to keep the shelter running. She cleans cages and kennels, fetches supplies, tidies up around the shelter, helps feed the pets, and spends time with the ones that aren’t too traumatized. Most of her duties are just simple, yet essential chores. 

For the vampires that don’t have food issues, Yui helps with feedings, delivering blood bags and more human food as specified, sometimes having to coax/reassure them into eating. She handles some grooming too, like brushing their hair or wiping their faces after a messy meal, and for the vampires deemed safe enough to handle, she spends time with them, getting them more used to humans, and trying to show that not all humans are cruel. 

Most of the vampires in shelters have experienced some degree of trauma. They don’t trust, are afraid of, or even actively dislike humans, and many shouldn’t be handled by anyone other than those trained in how to do it. The ones that Yui can get through to like her immensely for her kindness and gentle, peaceful nature, but many just never warm up to her, too afraid to let themselves trust a human and risk getting hurt again.
