The woman sighed as Alex came around - probably to give her a hard time like she had been lately.  Even if Hound had forgiven her, Alex was a prime example of the Vampires under him that hadn't.  Damn it, she'd made a mistake and she knew it and she wished it never happened and was STILL taking punishment from everyone - including Hound.  Yes, he forgave her, but not without a few screwples.  She wondered if he'd even told the rest that she was payng pennance to him.  From the way she was sometimes being treated - despite the order of respect - she hazzared a guess that he hadn't.  She supposed she deserved it though, and decided to just take it, whether or not anyone knew.  "Hello, Alex.  No, I don't.  He told me that tonight there was some business that he didn't want me to concern myself with.  He said for me to wait here," she told the young Vampire, leaning up to better speak with the other woman when she felt a yank at her hair.  Her eyes widened as she gave a yelp, looking back to see someone smelling - SMELLING - her hair.  "Can I help you," she asked, annoyed as anyone else who had just been smelled would be as she frowned at the woman.  She knew that vampires sometimes went off of smell, but she was used to someone at LEAST letting her see what they were about to do, or even better ask.  Never just come up, yank her hair and then sniff, sniff, smell.  She looked up at the woman, disgruntled not quite the word for how she was feeling at the moment.
