[And with that being sent, Charlie's going to be running around town to her various wedding planners, checking on things and seeing how things are going. Feel free to catch her almost anywhere.]

So I heard.

[Saya. No, Karl. That's why she's with Charlie. Because Charlie's going to help her get settled and take care of and make her feel safe.]

She's family of mine. [ That, at least, is true. ] Naturally I'm eager to take her off your hands. She'll integrate better once she's with her own kind.

Re: action;

[charring]

No. I hear she didn't care for your presence all that much. I don't see how this'll help her. I think it'd be bad for her.

[ His eyes narrow, the smile slipping away. Coldly, he says, ]

That's not for you to presume. She was startled by me. Because she doesn't remember. But she belongs with family. We know how to deal with her, better than a human can.

Re: action;

[charring]

That's not what I hear. There's a difference between 'startled' and 'so terrified they want to run'.

She's just out of her cocoon. Practically a baby.

Everything scares her.

Re: action;

[charring]

I don't scare her. Setsuna didn't. My pets don't scare her. My housemates don't.

So...try again with that 'everything scares her' line. Lets see if you can say it with honesty.

[ Karl smiles again. But it's not a friendly smile. His voice is all the more ominous for how soft it is. ]

She's a Chiropteran. What you would liken to a vampire. Will you risk your pets, your housemates, your friends and yourself once she recovers her memories? [ A sneer. ] She may seem harmless now. But that won't change the fact that she's a very dangerous girl.

Re: action;

[Charlie barely flinches at the news, eyebrows furrowing in frustration. Karl was batshit. Dangerous. She could tell that easily.]

She's not going with you unless she tells me herself that she wants to. And once I explain how unsettling you're being, I'm sure m housemates will agree that you're not the best thing for her right now.

[And with that, Charlie turns to go. She stops a few feet away and looks at Karl again, hands stuffed in the pockets of her jacket.]

You know what I've learned about very dangerous girls and the people that want to help? That the people who want to help come in two varieties. There are those that genuinely want to look out for the very dangerous girl, even after they find out she's hazardous. And there's the people who only say they want to help, when really they're too blinded by their own selfish needs to care that their 'help' is actually more of a problem.

[A shrug.] At least, that's been my personal experience as a very, very dangerous girl.

When Saya says she wants to go with you, she'll go. It's up to her and if you were smart, you'd wait it out.

[She's going to continue on now, Karl. Have a nice day.

[ He doesn't react at the tirade except to scoff. In her blind ignorance, she can afford to be self-righteous. It's a pathetically human trait. But she doesn't realize what a bloody, century-long feud she's gotten tangled in. ]

[ A cold little smile crosses his lips. ]

[ Doesn't matter. With time -- and the return of Saya's memories -- she'll regret it soon enough. ]
