Kai, having mostly ignored (but noted) the vampiress, turned to look at Plum, seeming not to be furious with her, strangely enough. "Don't puke on my carpet. It was expensive, and you already got blood on it. And don't bother trying to get up. Your arm is broken, and you're probably concussed." His eyes, the right matched to the left's green for now, just stared blankly at her.<br/>"She could have killed you. Dunno why she didn't. But we have a more interesting problem. That head wound you gave Mira isn't really worth calling a wound. So what the hell, Plum? Did you puss out partway through the swing?"<br/>Kai knew what the alternative was. Cherry had bitten the girl, and now it was likely she no longer had a choice in remaining human. Some part of him hoped, though.<br/>If Mira was turning, she'd likely bite the nearest person as soon as the hunger came, and since she wouldn't be leaving his side anymore, that'd be him. Shit.<br/>"Anyway, feel free to rest until you don't feel like dog shit. Then go back to Ghost and tell him to leave her be." Kai rolled his eyes at her protesting look. "The La'Feyal woman said if she dies, you die."<br/>He turned from the nymph, deciding to put off killing Ghost for now. It would be too much hassle with all the other shit that would not doubt start to happen now the Beast and his wife were here.<br/>Plus, there was the small matter of Ghost's Hunt being overdue now.<br/><br/><br/>Mallow grinned. "What if I tracked you down because I want you, Cherry?" he said suggestively, but laughed and waved a hand to show he was joking. "No, no, I know you're way out of my league." Stopping, he put a hand gently on her shoulder and led her down a side street to a small diner. "Come and have dinner with me. Or just watch me eat, I don't care. I've got something for you."<br/>After they entered and seated themselves, Mallow was silent until they ordered.<br/>"The La'Feyals went to PM. Shut up for now, this info ain't free. They went to PM and the Wolves aren't happy about it. Neither is anyone else. Now, I might know you and your toy had nothing to do with it, but you tell me whether they care or not."<br/>Mallow was dead serious now, having none of the sly, jovial nature he usually possessed.<br/>"Market City is about to become a shit show, and you and Raz need a place to hunker down. I wouldn't be surprised if they torch Afterglow tonight, so that's off the table. I'd offer my place but I like my privacy and don't want you around my sister, because you're a vampire and she has a fetish."<br/>"So tell me, Cherry. If I told you you have three hours to get to a safe place before the likelihood of you continuing to live drops to zero, where would you go?"<br/>Cherry was obviously panicked by this information, but Mallow stopped her from bolting for the door. "No. Don't go anywhere yet. Some Wolves followed us. We'll deal with them, but first you tell me where you'll go."
