Her head knows that already, but her heart is still smarting from the 10th of Floréal. Although she's at least game to try things like walking into the Colmar mairie and declaring herself, and is planning to go to Paris and do the same. She'll get there, and may not even need the whole galaxy to do it. :)

(Anyway, there's something of a gap to be bridged between "live in a community where there are vampires without seeking them out and torching their house" and "marry into a vampire family", at least in her mind. These things were undertaken with considerable care even back when they were valued members of medieval/early modern society.)
