Here's a random thought from someone you barely know: it's surprising how important little things can be. Don't you think?

It seemed like the sort of thing you might understand. A risky guess, perhaps, but one that worked out.
Almost everyone in my rover is gone. You can probably pin the rest together from that.

Thumper? That's a madu?
[Yeah, he hasn't heard about your pet, Elena. His good mood has dropped a notch or two.]

July, really? Who's taking care of him?
[He's seen the helpless-seeming doll, but hasn't spoken with him. It's complicated.]

November's still in stasis. Anders will have it in hand, though. He's a good man.
I suppose I ought to talk to him at some point. I'm nervous with children.

He's in stasis? July didn't say.
Anders is... some kind of mine, sure.
[ he keeps calling her a blood mage. she's not a blood mage!!! ]
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
You should, he's nice. And it's not like talking to a normal kid, he's... Well, he's different.

You don't like Anders? I know he can be prickly, but he's been frightfully good to me.
[Until Simon yelled at him and called him an irresponsible bastard. They patched it up, probably.]
But yes, November's in stasis. Starting to worry about him, to tell you the truth. You won't tell anyone, right?

We don't get along.
[ and that is where she's going to leave it. whether or not simon actually does know about the vampire thing, she's not about to just go talking about anders' stupid blood mage racism thing, or whatever it is. ]
Of course I won't. I'm sure he'll come back sometime soon, there's no need to worry.

I don't think anything can happen to you while you're in there. That's rather the point.
You like rabbits, though? Really?
[He's pleased. A vampire with a bunny? It's validating his suspicion that there's more to her than that terrifying label.]

No, I assure you, I'm not. [It's true. Her voice is calm with a hint of reassurance, which Elena seems to need.]
The message was more for his sake than yours. Sometimes he can become so focused on helping others... [She trails off, not feeling the need to finish the statement.] He told me enough about it for me to understand. I like to think I've pegged you as the type not to do this unless necessary, which as you stated, it was.
From what I know of the others present, you were right in choosing him.

I really wouldn't have, I swear. I have blood bags at camp, I just didn't bring any with me because I'm an idiot.
[ she sounds pretty mad at herself there, and that's true -- she's furious with herself for forgetting something so vital. she could have been a serious danger to everyone here if it weren't for steve, and that's the last thing she wants. she's never wanted to hurt anybody. ]
I went through everyone's files to check who could handle it best, that's why I went to him. I think if I space it out tomorrow I should be able to just take a little from a few other people so I don't need to go back to him.
[ a moment of hesitation. ]
You're sure you're alright with this?

Things happen, don't torment yourself over it. We've all done similar at one point or another.
[Elena can hear Peggy exhale, a little in relief and amusement.]
If it's tomorrow, he should be fine once more. For him, I believe it was similar to donating blood. You'd know better than the rest of us how that would affect normal humans. We don't know what else may happen, so this is the most sensible option.
[Peggy pauses in regards to her last question, choosing her words carefully.] I'll admit, it startled me. However, he's capable of handling it. I don't want anything to happen to you, either.

[ yeah, but when normal people forget snacks they just get grumpy. when she forgets a snack she gets either mummified or murderous. it doesn't really compare.
elena's not about to go saying any of that, however. ]
Depending on how much I take it'd be just like donating blood for other people, too. [ or if she were someone less good she could kill them, but elena would never. ] It's just that to get through these longer days I need to feed every twenty four hours at least, so I'm in a bit of a bind here. We've already been fighting, I don't want to put anyone at a disadvantage if we have to fight anything else.
[ that is... way more reasonable than she was expecting, to be honest. it will never stop being weird when people don't immediately run for the stakes and vervain. ] Thank you. I'll figure something out. If worst comes to worst I'll just... take it as easy as I can tomorrow and ask Steve again at the end of the day. If that's okay?

Do whatever works best for yourself, Elena. We've made it this far, it wouldn't be fair of me to question your judgment now. [It's as reassuring as she'll get without being asked.]
If there's anything I'm able to do, let me know.

I wouldn't put anything past the CDC.
[ that's as close as she'll get to openly airing her cdc grievances, but it might be just enough to give her away. ]
I don't know about rabbits in general, but I like Thumper. She wanted to play with me, and we kind of bonded, I guess. I've never had a pet before, it's really nice.
I need to get her a collar, though, I'm afraid someone's going to let their bahari eat her without knowing she belongs to somebody.
