Suzanne slid the shower door open part way, so that she could see Louie. She didn't care to talk to people without looking at them, it was habit she liked to maintain, especially if she needed to fix a little bit of their thinking here or there with magic, though she would never have done so to Louie.<br/><br/>"She's here because she wants to be," said Suzanne. She'd seen her coming when she'd woken up. She'd made sure she had a way to track their family members a few years before, and Katherine was close enough that her riding into New Orleans didn't go unnoticed.<br/><br/>"And, no, it isn't wise to have strangers around, but Katherine isn't exactly a stranger," she said, "she's family."<br/><br/>She knew she was really just reassuring Louie, already intending on having a conversation with Katherine about her staying in the house for any length of time. It was dangerous, especially if something went wrong. They weren't exactly normal in the first place, but having someone around who wasn't part of the coven was always problematic. It had certainly been a problem when Gisele decided to have her friend Holly over for the first time, but given that Holly was completely human, it really wouldn't be hard to take care of a situation if Holly ever made one, not that Suzanne thought she ever would.<br/><br/>"Louie," she said, "I do actually need someone to soap my back, and the hot-water tank was empty before mother got out, so, if you want your shower to be anything more than ice-cold I suggest you get in here..."<br/><br/>She doubted Louie had developed an affinity for water magic since the previous night, and she really was the only thing keeping the water warm. Still, she had to admit, giving Louie something to think about other than problems which were supposed to be hers seemed like a good idea. She liked her half-brother, and her half-sister, it had been nice having a young warlock and a young witch around the house, and she had to admit a certain liking for teaching them things when she had the time, as seldom as that was.
