Between Cherry and Mallow, Mira was pressured to sit--though they were a lot more polite about it than those at PM. Mallow was trying to keep his voice at a comforting tone and Mira appreciated it greatly. "We know what you're running from," he started and Mira looked over to Blacc who looked happy to nod his head in reassurance. "We're not supposed to know, but we do. It's Kai, right?" Inside Mira felt like she was doing something wrong as she nodded her confirmation and Mallow gave a sigh.<br/><br/>"Look, hiding anyone from any member of PM is a huge pain, Kai especially. If you want to, I can take you to one of my safehouses, or we can try to figure something else out. It's all up to you, but we really are here to help. Frankly, you need it. You...really are turning. Kai wasn't lying. We need to get you somewhere safe, and find someone to volunteer to be your first drink," Mallow explained. Mira gave a small frown. She didn't have places she could hide. She never set up a system of emergency hideouts. She never needed them. Up until Kai put a gun to her head, she never had experienced fear (outside of Chuck's outbursts occasionally).<br/><br/>"I'll do it," Cocoa said, offering herself up. "I'll be her first drink if...if you're okay with that, Mira," she said as she gave an attempt at a smile. Mallow looked over for a moment, "I'm not super comfortable with that, but I can't stop you." Mira immediately shook her head, "No. Absolutely not. I don't want to feed on anyone at all!" It was then Cherry spoke up, "I mean...you don't technically have to, but it's the easiest and most likely scenario. The thing is, Mira, when you change---you don't really have that much control over what you're doing. We don't have the resources to just go rob a blood bank for you, so you're going to have to choose someone. If you wanted resources like that, you should have stayed with Kai." Mira's eyes cut to Cherry's, "Kai's half-assed plan was to just let me feed on him, I think." At that, Cherry went silent, though there was no indication of what she was feeling on her face. She didn't want to hear that and she was angry that Kai would allow anyone to feed on him other than her.<br/><br/>Of course she knew she was being unreasonable. Kai wasn't hers and she wasn't his. Not anymore and not by a long shot. Still, there was something akin to jealousy in her chest at the thought that Kai was simply going to let this little video store tart use him as her feed. She resisted the urge to just strangle the girl and save all of them time and grief. Mallow would be displeased and as much as she didn't give a shit what others thought, Mallow helped her out and was continuing to help her out. She couldn't just kill Mira and leave Mallow to deal with Cocoa like that. It would be rude.<br/><br/>"Either way..." Mira muttered, "I don't really have a place to stay. Kai has my car and he's been keeping me at my apartment for the past two or three days. I don't have places to hide..."
