[winn]

[ clearly you haven't met enough nerds, sascha.

closing the door again, he hops onto the bed, settles himself at kitty's side, and pats his shoulder with an eager smile. ]

At your service~ [ is he cute again yet or still annoying? ]

[pneumo]

[ Yeahhh...yeah, she probably should have specified. Because while Winn goes to one side? Sascha takes the other happily with a bright expression. He knew you liked him mom!

He's going to climb up and onto the edge of the bed. ]

[passingthrough]

[Winn is cute again. Sascha on the other hand... She sighs at the vampire, but doesn't kick him off her bed. It is a tiny room and there's no where else to sit but the floor anyway. She just tips her head onto Winn's shoulder.] Okay, proceed with your nonsense.

[winn]

[ he wraps an arm around her and strokes her hair, trying to appease her even as he has every intention to proceed with his nonsense because vampire, kitty!! ]

So what do you do here, are there like, synthetic blood shakes? Or is it a donor system?

[pneumo]

....Um, nope! The grumpy guy said I'm not allowed near the donation stuff, hehe. [ Allen, you fiend. ]

Kitty got the science guy to make the blood pills, otherwise I eat with Bigby~

[passingthrough]

Allen runs donations and Simon is the doctor on his ship. [Just being cozy and translating for Winn.]

[winn]

And 'science guy', 'blood pills', 'Bigby'?

[ winn is all for this setup. ]

[pneumo]

[ he's getting the star treatment here and he doesn't even know it: on a good day Sascha is totally incomprehensible when it comes to certain things. Having Kitty as the go-between more or less fixes everything. ]

Simon~! Sorry, I forgot he was the doctor. Aaand Bigby is: dun-dun-duuuuuuuuun! The Big Bad Wolf, and the fluffiest thing in the entire universe! [ Aka: Hot!dad ]

[passingthrough]

Weirdly, that's the real answer. He'a a giant wolf with a human-looking form and claims to be from fairy tails.

[winn]

[ frowning. amazingly, it's not the giant-wolf-with-human-looking-form part he's struggling with, it's the big-bad. because kitty is good, so surely they don't meet ate-little-red-riding-hood-and-her-grandma-big-bad, right? ]

As in huffed and puffed?

[pneumo]

[ That, dearest Winn, is exactly who they mean. Although he's a great deal less huff-puff nowadays. ]

Uh-huh! His breath smells like cold mint. No dog breath at all!

[passingthrough]

[Hey, she only met Bigby once. Don't pin his possible actions on her goodness! She didn't vouch for the guy.] Little Red Riding Hood too.

And why are you smelling his breath?

[winn]

As in ate her and her grandmother whole?

[ and we're ok with this? he's not ok with this! why is he the only one who seems not ok with this - what is he missing? ]

[pneumo]

[ He is missing the fact that Big doesn't eat sentient things now! Not that...Sascha can explain it so eloquently. ]

...I guess? I've never actually heard the story. --Oh! But he won't eat you, don't worry~

[passingthrough]

Possibly? But then if someone cut him open he's looking much better now. And it sounded like he was friends with one of the pigs. He knows the mirror too. Doesn't like it because it makes him rhyme.

[Nuzzling sleeping against Winn.] Yeah, he didn't seem at all interested in attacking me.

[winn]

[ now isn't as reassuring as you think, sascha!

he may be scooting a little closer to her, holding her a little more protectively now. didn't seem interested in attacking isn't as reassuring as you think either. ]

So like, the stories were wrong and 'Big Bad''s just a mean nickname?

[ guy can dream, right? ]

[pneumo]

Nah, he used to be super-bad! Or he said so. He ate people before... [ And so has Sascha and any other vampire he's met, so he tries not to think much of it. ]

[passingthrough]

I didn't actually ask. I haven't heard about any attacks within the fleet though and he's been here longer than me, right? [At least she thinks that's true.]

[winn]

-- you guys really think you're being reassuring, don't you?

[ you're really not. if his father showed up and didn't kill people within the fleet for a couple months, it wouldn't undo the murders he committed before, and it wouldn't keep him from committing a next one when it strikes his fancy again. ]

[pneumo]

...Yes? [ WHAT IS NOT COMFORTING ABOUT THIS WINN. Don't be a Debbie downer. ]

[passingthrough]

[Maybe it's the hour, maybe it's the upbringing but she looks at him with some confusion.] Why do you need reassurance? [She doesn't say it to be hurtful. She's just a little lost.

[winn]

Sorry, am I the only one hearing 'super bad' and 'ate people'?

[ how well does kitty know him? how much time does she spend by his side? is he going to have to add 'fear of her being eaten' to his list of phobias? you know what, he already has. ]

[pneumo]

[ Good man, Winn. ]

...But vampires eat people too. [ And you seemed super hung-ho on those a moment ago. It was actually pretty strange. ]

[passingthrough]

[You know what? You're getting a look for that Winn. Because of course you just hurt Sascha's feelings and while apparently threatening to kill him is fine and appropriate the other is not. Then she turns to look at the vampire.] Hey, he's just adjusting to this idea. I'm sure he knows that people change and have their reasons and context for their past if there is a past, and that they deserve second chances. He wouldn't be with me if he didn't. And you don't want to hurt anyone, right, Sascha?

[pneumo]

[ he nods quickly, confirming that he would definitely not do that. He wants to be liked and be around people more than anything--hurting them would put him worse off in that regard than he already is. ]

No way...!
