[It is now Christmas in the latest time zone on Earth,] Bella announces, when this becomes the case. [C'mere.]
She has conjured a syringe of venom. There are no known effects relating to any particular person doing the turning, but she's gone ahead and duplicated her alt's venom - what would be hers, if she turned - regardless.
She hides it behind her back and smiles.

Alice interrupts himself mid-drink to singsong, "You waaaaaant me nibbling on you, don't lie."

"Poking the repressed ingot isn't very nice, Alice," Bella says serenely. "How's the bubbly? There might be other kinds, this is just what Elspeth brings home from Milliways."

"It's tasty, I like it," he says. "Can I make you unsquishable for a bit so I can hug you?"

He spends a hex to make Bella impervious to squishing in a way that is fully at her discretion to control, and then scoops her up and twirls her around and hugs her as hard as he possibly can.

"Eee!" laughs Bella, extricating one arm from the squeeze to put over his shoulder and have some measure of control of how she's held up.

He puts her down again and kisses the end of her nose.
"I love you," he says. "I love you lots. Read how much I love you."

"What, in front of Lazarus? I'm already reading you, and opening up the details sometimes has side effects," laughs Bella.

"You didn't wanna wait and see if he was gonna take you up on ineffectual gnawing?" Bella asks, but then she prods at the emotion-blob and takes a moment to breathe oddly and ramp up her speed to process inhuman levels of muchness. "Oh dosage control issues hello," she says weakly.

"Yes, dosage control, I am figuring out a parallel-ness upgrade for my brain now," Bella says, closing the emotion-blob with a great effort of will.

"I might be getting braindead on how much you love me. Elspeth can do that, if she blasts people with too much vampire-mind," Bella says. "I already got kinda high on it, and if it gets anywhere near dangerous I'd start to worry about my ingot power deciding the mindreading's dangerous like my alt's witchcraft decided Elspeth was dangerous."

"That would be bad. I'd hate to have you not read me anymore," he says, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and kissing her forehead. "Will the brain upgrade help?"
self_composed
"Should. Have to think about it. I don't think I want to just straight up wish for a vampire brain; from what Bella said it has some drawbacks, which she can handle and I could too but that doesn't make it something I want to move into unedited. Hm." Bella leans her head on Alice's shoulder as she considers, and finally settles on a wish design she likes.
Hex goes.
"Trying this again," she murmurs in his ear, and she opens the package of emotions and does-not-quite-drown.
But only not-quite.
