[visual / location: don's apartment] (way backdated)

It's been a couple days since the attack and her phone call to Don, and Mattie's feeling better physically, but still a little wrung out emotionally. Mostly that manifests in being very quiet and trying convince Don to let her cook meals for him, and a noticeable absence of tiny sternfaces. There's a lot on her mind, however, and one or two questions in particular keep coming up.

So she turns to her tablet, and the Taxon community, for answers. She's curled up against the headboard of Don's bed, wrapped in her father's coat over her nightgown, with a small white gauze bandage on her neck.

"What happens when a vampire bites you? And how are you to tell if you are seeing one?"

[Location for Don, visual or voice as you like for everyone else. Let's say this is backdated to around May 9 so Mattie hasn't been languishing all this time.

ETA: Don may be hovering around and keeping an eye on conversations, expect possible threadjacking. ;)]

Gatorade. Drink it.

[ shhhhh this is his nice. ]

[This is Mattie, having had a Very Bad Week and refusing to answer.]

Tiny. [ his tone goes wheedling, here. ] If I promise you call you Mattie for a week, will you drink the damn Gatorade?

If you are going to be rude and vulgar then I would rather you did not call me anything at all.

[At least she's speaking again? So it's kind of like accepting the peace offering.]

My most sincere apologies for offending your sensibilities, Miz Ross. [ yes, that is a hint of 1860's virginia drawl in his tone. ] Would you do me the favor of accepting my humble advice?

[As probably intended, it's the accent that soothes her feelings more than the apology.]

I have already said I would ask Mr. Draper about this drink you want me to have.

[That's a yes.]

Good. Do me a favor, Tiny? Don't invite anyone in.

[ damon might kind of maybe not think you totally suck, mattie. don't die, he has attachment issues. ]

Ever? I do not think that is a very reasonable way to live.

[Mattie is sure there must be a middle ground somewhere between never having anyone visit, and getting eaten by vampires.]

Maybe not. But don't come crying to me when you get eaten.

[ 8| forever. ]

That does not even make sense, if I were eaten I would not be able to cry at all.

[Backatcha, Damon.]

Has anyone ever told you you're stunningly literal?

[ he loevs you mattie rly. ]

Has anyone ever told you you're argumentative and ill-mannered?

[OH HELLO, KETTLE.]

Believe it or not? Yes.

[ :> ]
