<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Hodge found the lady in her study with a crystal glass in her hand nearly empty of the blood it had been filled with, "Such a picky eater..." The doctor muttered as she stepped in and closed the door behind her, "You were close if you've locked yourself in here and have drank most of your supply you got," She nodded to the large clay vase that was left uncapped. Even from where she stood she could tell it was empty, "When will you simply give into your nature and feed more regularly. I think that boy was healthier than you are currently."<br/>
<br/>
The vampire smirked at her, "Dear Hodge, I'm sure I didn't ask your opinion about my health. And what a bold human you are for making such statements to a creature that could kill you."<br/>
<br/>
"Ah but you couldn't," The red head conjectures as she makes her way over to her mistress, "You tried and you couldn't reach the bottom of the well. So stop trying to act as if you have something to be shameful of. Now what do you plan for the little dears?"<br/>
<br/>
"Hana will be cared for and given an education. I'll set her up with a funds account and I suspect you will teach her about the world around her. You have a wealth of knowledge after all," Rhiannon tilted her head, "As for the boy... He attempted to steal from me. Even with noble cause a thief can't go free without being taught a lesson in manners and how to earn coin rather than take it."<br/>
<br/>
"Yes but what do you plan on having him do to help you teach him?"<br/>
<br/>
"For now he will provide me blood," She states, "I'll have you draw it from him as drinking from the source is asking for trouble," Her icy gaze shifted to the doctor's one of annoyance, "Don't give me that look. I will wait till he is healthy. Without him being healthy the blood is useless."<br/>
<br/>
Hodge huffed either way, "Two weeks, Rhiannon. No feeding off him for two weeks and even then it should be limited for a month."<br/>
<br/>
Rhiannon drained the last of her coppery drink and set the glass down, "I will heed you, Hodge," She says as she moves away, "Have Chester bring clothes for the pair and the baths are ready by now?"<br/>
<br/>
"Yes Cecil has handled the baths. I'm sure Chester is already gathering what he will need. You know how news travels through this household. Like wildfire on a windy day," The doctor followed her mistress out and departed for her labs while Rhiannon head to her guests who would soon become part of her household as well. <br/>
<br/>
She smiled as she heard the little girl enjoying the room. Knocking gently she called out, "I'm coming in," before twisting the door knob and opening it. Her eyes danced with merriment at the sight of Hana playing on the bed but grew harder as she looked at Crow, "The baths are ready for you two and Chester my seemster is bring clothes there for you two to wear. Can you walk Crow?" </span>
