Oh, not at all, if anything, I'm intruding.
-She spares a brief look at Audrey, then back to Tracey, not responding-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You're too kind.
-She looks back to Audrey-
Listen, sweetie, it's the forest in the middle of the night. If Tracey here hadn't gotten you, a wolf would have. Be thankful she's going to be gentle about this.
-She is pursing her lips, though, brow furrowing-
-Progress...?-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Once Tracey is no longer looking her way, Audrey can see that Sandra is wincing a little-
-Then she sighs, eyes cast down with a groan-
Tracey, stop.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?She's...
-Sighs again, resting her head on her fingertips-
-Then looks up-
Come on, Tracey, she's a kid. I know we had a deal, but...
I guess what I'm asking falls under "favour". Let her go.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Tracey mulled it over for a second, and sighed.
"I suppose that's manageable. Don't think I'll be forgetting this anytime soon, though!"
She swung her arm down and placed Audrey on the ground, giving the younger Chance sister a slight push towards the house to get her started, then straightened back up. As soon as Audrey was out of sight, she crossed her arms and turned, slightly bemused.
"Interesting one there. She had a very charming little trick up her sleeve. I'll have to be more careful next time."
[forum cryptid: it/it's]Mh...
This place is full of surprises, make sure you don't bite off more than you can ch—
-Stops herself, realising what she almost said just in time-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Eheheheh...
-Looks in the direction Audrey went-
... Thanks for that favour. Sorry for cutting you out of a meal...

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Tracey waved it off.
"Nothing but water off a duck's back, my dear!..."
She put a hand to her chin and thought for a moment.
"....Howeverrrrr, She started, as if still processing while she spoke, not facing Sandra but looking at the vampire out of the corner of her eye.

[forum cryptid: it/it's]"It seems to me that you and I are....oh, how to put this...Ah! de gustibus non est disputandum. You and I have wildly different levels of comfort when it comes to our meals. Perhaps we could both avoid such awkwardness again.
Tracey held out a hand and checked under her fingernails, flicking at them idly to clear the dirt away.
"I would be absolutely chuffed, to borrow the term, if you'd be willing to find dinner for me. I'll consider the favor paid in full, and I'll know what better to look for in a meal around here. When in Rome..., yes?"
She grinned.

[forum cryptid: it/it's]-Grin widens, but eyes don't seem to be playing along, slight discomfort-
... Ah. Well, well uh, fair's fair, you know?
Consider it done.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Hehahah.
-Subtly rolls one of her heels anxiously at the ground, leaving a slight groove-
I'm glad we can work this out. I'll find you someone worth eating, for sure.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Thinks to herself, then looks back up at her-
I used to drain people to death when I got hungry. Back when I was being groomed into the perfect vampire wife.
These days, I just take what I need and leave them alive, a little light headed. That's not really an option for you. There's no way to harmlessly "snack" on someone's flesh and still be their friend.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?"It's really just so egregously unfair! They write romance books with people like you in it, you know. I'm just trying not to starve and people want to label me some sort of demon or something."
Tracey shifted her weight to one leg, and flipped her hand out for emphasis.
"Most of them don't do this when someone eats pork or venison! The utter hypocrisy of it all!"
[forum cryptid: it/it's]No, I get you, I really do.
You have to do what you have to do. I don't want to stop you. I just... don't want to be a nasty bitch about it, you know?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Tracey turned her head with an audible krrrrrrcik to face Sandra, apparently losing what little interest she had in Audrey to address the vampire.
"Ah, the nightstalker herself!.....Hope I'm not intruding on anything tonight!"
