Sylar's gears were still turning as the nurse and a burly orderly escorted him down long halls and through a strange, sunlit room. He'd been forced to drop his pen when the orderly had seen it, and since then, he'd realized that this place had better security than he'd originally anticipated, as well as a large population of patients. It looked

"That's why I want to know about the visitors, because my daughters came to 'visit'," explained Diva, starting from the reverse end. "I asked him about them, and he'd said he'd eat them. So we fought." It was all point A to B to C to Diva. The man's continued questions after that point were less easy to understand, because Diva thought he was lying, but what was so important that it was worth lying about? Just another stupid thing about humans that she didn't like.
The word 'vampire' stood out for her, being the second time someone had said that in her presence. It wasn't quite the same, when it wasn't being used in reference to her, but Diva knew what the man was after, and smiled. "No. He must eat the whole person." To prove her point, Diva hooked one finger in the collar of her shirt to pull it down a little, and peeled back one of the thick bandages with her other hand. Heat had gotten a few good bites around her collarbone, and the one she showed Leon was deep and ragged, missing flesh where Heat's teeth had hooked and ripped it off.

"That's horrible," he said. "What'd you say he was called?" He was certainly going to be keeping a watch out for this individual. No one like that should be allowed to roam the halls at night.
He paused for a moment, taking a sip of orange juice and going back to what she'd said earlier. "You have children?" he asked. She looked awfully young to be a mother. Still, it was hardly impossible. They would have to be quite young themselves, though. Probably only a couple years old, at most. And she seemed to think that the visitors were fake. So maybe something had been off about the children they'd brought in to see her.

The Chiropteran wondered if she could force her blood into someone during these stifling daylight hours. She really needed a Chevalier.
Sitting back in her chair, Diva watched Leon in an appraising way, the balls of her feet brushing the floor as she slowly swung her legs back and forth. She shrugged and said, "Don’t know," in regards to Heat’s name. When he mentioned her children, both of her hands went to her stomach, her expression dimming. Withdrawing, in a way. This human was asking about her children...
"I know they were mine. But I don’t remember... how I made them. When they came out." She gave Leon a pointed look, as she had already told him exactly why this was a problem, and why it was confounding her. "I have to find them, so don’t you know anything?"

At his question about her children, she visibly withdrew. Her reply indicated memory loss of some kind. He shook his head. "I don't know about your kids. I'm sorry," he said. Maybe some of the people here really were crazy and needed mental help. His impression of Diva was certainly shifting in that direction.

Turning her head, her gaze roamed over the various faces in the crowd.
As members of the Red Shield knew, Diva wasn’t like her sister at all. Part of the difference lay in her dependence on her Chevaliers. She had mothered them, and yet Diva was still the child that they looked after. She didn’t know how to take care of herself, and short of attacking the human across from her, she didn’t know how to go about finding those two little wide-eyed children.
Jeez, she hated this place so much!

He paused, then continued speaking, a bit awkwardly. "Try not to worry about your kids too much... I'm sure they're being taken care of. Maybe they'll come visit you again?" He liked to think that he'd gotten better at the whole comforting routine after dealing with Ashley. He'd been quite good at not telling her exactly what kind of mortal danger they were in. Sure, she'd picked up on a lot of that herself, but he'd done his best to be reassuring and calm. He could do that same thing here.

She’d killed humans for less.
Biting her bottom lip, she looked more like an upset child. She didn't want the nurses to stick her with more sedatives if she jumped the table to kill him!

He decided to keep quiet for a bit, rather than risk angering her again. If she got too upset, they'd attract the attention of the nurses, and he certainly didn't want that.

That, she understood. Her superiority apparently reinforced through his body posture and apology, Diva let her attention slip from the imagined insult.
"Now you understand, I just can’t let anything happen to that precious life. Even if I don't know where they are now and there’s dozens against me." She was a mother, after all, and she’d do anything for her family. It was something worth telling, even to a human. "So you’ll tell me if you find out anything at all?"

Diva let a soft laugh of delight escape her, before she smiled warmly. "Thank you." Of course, he was human, and Diva being extra thoughtful to follow her Chevaliers’ suggestions didn’t make him any less susceptible to her penchant for bloody havoc, but following Diva’s whims usually allowed for a longer lease. The humans who all worked for Amshel and had actually met her knew that.
She thought this one would also make a good Chevalier, but those surprises would have to wait for night. Weighing things in her head--not something she was used to doing--made her think to wait until the best possible moment.

Was she hungry? Should she eat something? All very kind offers made to a creature that drank human blood to survive.
Diva wondered if Saya-neesama ever found it as quaint as she did.
