"I've seen pranks bigger than that mouth, let me tell you." She assures him, rocking on her feet from heel to toe. It's then that she notices the bodies all around her. Vampires here and there and everywhere. She turns quickly - half turns - to look around her fixing them each one that are staring with a stink eye.
"Oh. Oh. No. Negative. I was not gobbled up. Do you know why? I was not gobbled up because I am Legion. I am Many. And? I'm fast." She smiles wide, exposing a toothy grin.
Cat turns half-way again and looks at the Giovanni. Stares at him. That old man. She wrinkles her nose at the idea of what she imagines he might do in dark shadows with dead things.
"Yes. Yes it was clumsy. But. But that is because it was hungry." She holds up a finger as if she just had the best idea ever and was about to exclaim Eureka! "Oh! And the apes and I don't know, but mostly the apes, they warned me to run. So I wasn't so quick maybe. I just got the jump on them."
Then.
"Wait, Narcisa? Okay. But I'm not doing anything wrong so you just..." The thought trails off as she looks at a smudge on the table, the whorls and patterns captivating.
