[She does know it's a big smile, but she's not stopping him by letting him know she knows. It's too cute.]
well at least it's not too bad! nice to feel normal again, isn't it?
[Being a vampire for the last month didn't feel "normal," for her, despite it being her true form... Limited access to all of her power and abilities meant being trapped in an incomplete form and felt like a nightmare. But hey, at least being fluffy again feels good! She'll take werewolf over that hell any day.]
ja, SEHR schnell. i've been following her scent for an hour, which is awful by the way. this whole fits just because its half past bathtime and she knows it. :/ she's retaliating.
[Alfred has been doing his level best not to think about what just happened. Perhaps this level of denial isn't healthy, but...well, he was sort of a feral little terror. It was embarrassing.
Yes. Just embarrassing. He's fine! Really.
He brushes a stray ember off of his shoulder.]
Hmm, tricky. Could you se t a sort of...puppy trap? M aybe in the kitchen?
you have? :D did you finally get a handle on those ears? hehe
[With the assignment being "Each Other" for Halloween, she's eager to see what he thinks of when he imagines her "style". She let him loose in her closet and said "go for it," so there's really no way to go wrong there... Still, it makes her giggle just to think about it.]
im almost done because your outfit is easy :p except for those horns! its like you need a bloody architecture degree just to get them on paper!
[She didn't go to school she has no idea what degree you'd actually need for this but good lord those beautiful things are intricate as hell--]
[There's another pause in replies for a while, but it's probably for the best-- he does have work to do, after all.]
lord i beg you, give me strength
heey um i'm real sorry to ask love but coud you stop by the shops on your way home? the flour jar is empty... and broken :( and so is the sugar jar and a few other things that were in that cupboard...
[It takes a while for Alfred to respond in turn - lunch break is finite, after all - but on his next break from the kitchens at the Lucky he opens his messages again, and -
Oh.]
Oh dear!! !
Of co urse, schatzi,, it's all right. Is she oka y? Are you? All that broken gllass....
we're both okay! shes walking just fine and once i clean her up ill give her a better look to make sure
i think it must have startled her when the crate fell all i heard was yelping and crashing and when i came in she was scooting all around the kitchen still under it! i had the mop and broom leaning against the cupboard from cleaning earlier and i guess she ran into them while she was skittering around? i have no idea how she managed this
now i have to bathe her, and me, and then clean the kitchen for the second time today... and then bathe again after that. you'll probably be home well before then so i apologize for the war zone you might walk in to. :(
[Well, for about half a second there she forgets that she's irritated. If she didn't know any better she'd think he does this adorable distraction thing on purpose!]
youre damn right >:) i'm going to have to get them back up to speed!
im sure it was! it's overwhelming when it's just the three of us. poor thing got left all alone with them, surprised he didn't get eaten alive... we should figure out how to make it up to him sometime soon. :(

Date: 2022-11-02 07:47 am (UTC)i know she can smell me too and she's keeping her distance. so im afraid to just wait around in the room or she may not even come in here...
any suggestions for what i could leave behind to actually grab her?
< Darling >
Date: 2022-11-02 07:57 am (UTC)That is trickier. I know hhow to set a snare but I don't want her hurt.
Maybe prrop up a milkcrate?
< schatzi >
Date: 2022-11-02 08:10 am (UTC)alright, we'll give that a try! see what happens. tied a little bell to it so i can hopefully hear when it falls!

Date: 2022-11-02 06:15 pm (UTC)[The concept is silly - but after all they had been through, Alfred isn't afraid of being a little silly.]

Date: 2022-11-03 05:45 am (UTC)we were gone for so long i think some of them forgot who's really the boss, here.
im so grateful for jonathan taking care of them while we were away, truly, but i think perhaps a few of em ended up a smidge spoiled in our absence :p
< Darling >
Date: 2022-11-03 06:06 am (UTC)ile I replace the jars.
Perhaps so! Ti me to remind them who is the pack leaader. ;P (This face is winking and stickinghis tongue out.)
I can't blame him!! It mus

Behind the keyboard, for just one moment, Alfred's smile is just a little bit more devious.
But Seras doesn't see that, and the overall intent is pure, anyhow.]
That is the spirit!!
We really should. Maybe we could tr
eat him to something relaxing? The spa?
