Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[whenshewasnice]

There could've maybe been reason to freak out when you woke up in a strange room with no recollection of how you'd gotten there. But Helen was honestly just glad to be magically away from her freak show clusterfuck of a family. Even if it meant having to feed a strange cat who was very insistent that she pay attention to him

Donna followed the scent of the tasty foo-...people into the common room, grinning toothily at them.

"Hi, I don't suppose you've seen an utterly adorable baby girl around here?" She paused, she was sure the full moon had been a couple of days ago, but in situations like this you could never be sure. "Or possibly an equally adorable puppy? Other than the great big white one that was in my room this morning?"

Well, Donna won points over the others who'd shown up for at least being woman-shaped.

Helen's voice was still a drawl, but at least a slightly less confrontational one. "Can't say that I have."

"Oh, darn," Donna said, frowning. "I was hoping she'd be in here somewhere." Since she couldn't look outside yet on account of the horrible burning daylight.

[whenshewasnice]

"Which one?"

Because, you know, to Helen it had sounded like she was looking for two different things.

[failsatspirit]

Just the one adorable werewolf-vampire baby. "My daughter," Donna replied. "I do hope she hasn't been kidnapped by one of those cults again."

Because that was a thing that happened.

Well, Helen was just going to look confused at that. And like she was doubting Donna's sanity. A bit.

And whether she was fit for parenthood.

"'Again'?" she questioned.

Hey, she and Dave screened their baby-sitters very thoroughly, even more so after that one time.

"They've all got this crazy notion that little Baby Henderson is the harbinger of the end times just because I'm a vampire and Dave, my husband, is a werewolf," Donna told her cheerfully. "Keep going on about her being a child of unholy union. Which is ridiculous, because we had a church ceremony and everything."

And boy howdy had there been more than a few problems getting that organised, considering.

Helen leaned back in her chair, and thus away from Donna, without realizing she was doing it. She was from LA and had grown up with a lot of weird shit around, but there was something about that that made her want to back away.

"What are you on, lady?"

[failsatspirit]

Donna smiled. The light glinted off her fangs.

"B-negative, mostly." She said, not doing a very good job of pretending not to check out Helen's neck. "I don't suppose you're B-negative?"

[whenshewasnice]

... Okay then. More leaning back. This time on purpose.

"No."

[failsatspirit]

"You sure?" Look, Donna was hungry.
