At least I'm not naked at school and I've got all my teeth, I suppose.

[ She sits back, picking up her tea and sipping it. Grumpily. ]

Thanks for meeting me, anyway.

[hypnagothic]

[ he has yet to touch the tea she poured for him, but it doesn't look like he's leaving just yet. ]

Will you speak to lady Vanessa of him?

[keepgodwaiting]

... Yeah.

[ The hesitation isn't snarky, or anything, it's just her considering the possibilities. ]

Seems like she knows a thing or two about people carrying around things that aren't themselves.

[ GIRL IF ONLY YOU KNEW ]

[hypnagothic]

[ IF ONLY. he nods, not betraying the irony of that at all. ]

Perhaps so, though she may also be able to offer any further insight of the host, as well.

[keepgodwaiting]

I hope so. [ A sigh. ] He seems like a nice kid. It's bad enough there's kids here in the first place without a demon making it worse.

[hypnagothic]

More than a demon, apparently.

[keepgodwaiting]

How's that?

[hypnagothic]

I understand that there is, or at least was, something that had been causing him harm.

[keepgodwaiting]

Here or back home?

[hypnagothic]

Within this city.

[keepgodwaiting]

[ She eyes him sidelong. ]

He told me he got bit by a vampire. Not with his consent.

[hypnagothic]

[ he nods, confirming. ]

[keepgodwaiting]

You know a very weird set of things about this kid, Morpheus.

[hypnagothic]

[ he might be actually shrugging but the gesture is so subtle it's hard to tell. ]

It is what I have been told of him.

[keepgodwaiting]

Sure.

[ By Ives, she's guessing, though who knows. ]

Do you know anything else about this vampire thing? I know a few of them here, and I can't imagine any of them feeding on someone without consent. I know it can't have been one of them.

[hypnagothic]

What else would there be to know?

[keepgodwaiting]

Who it was? How bad it was? [ She shrugs. ] "Bit by vampire" can cover a lot of ground, as I understand it.

[hypnagothic]

Perhaps lady Ives might provide you with more insight.
