He's moving her to a different court to see if it'll improve her attitude. She's allowed to fly. It's been a long, long time since she was allowed to -

She is only allowed to fly to her destination, not anywhere else. She notices that she is not where she should be, that she cannot progress to where she was told to go, and she careens out of control when her wings won't flap anymore, and she crashes.

Sherlock glances at them and snorts.

[imeanforever]

"What?"

[eversomuchfun]

"I think I've seen that fellow around before. Mind if I stop for a chat?"

[imeanforever]

"I don't see why not."

[eversomuchfun]

"Thanks."

He approaches the pair, casually sipping from a large plastic container full of pig's blood.

They're pretty well occupied, but during a break in the proceedings one of them turns around to call out at him, "Hey! Find your own alley, we're busy here!"

[eversomuchfun]

"Far be it from me to interrupt," he says. "Thought I recognized you, that's all." Slurp.

"...What is that?" wonders the other alley-goer.

"Pig's blood," Tea says cheerfully.

"Ew! Gross!"

[burning_gold]

"I don't think I know you," the blond one says dubiously. "And hey, rude. We were having fun here."

[eversomuchfun]

"I noticed," he says dryly. "Too much bother, by my reckoning. Stealing from the butcher's does me just fine."

"Okay, I'm done here," says the brunette. "You have weird friends." She turns to leave.

[burning_gold]

"Now look what you've done," complains the blond.

[eversomuchfun]

"I've got extra," he says helpfully, hefting the paper bag containing two more containers of blood.

[burning_gold]

"Ugh, that is so not the point."

[eversomuchfun]

"I suppose I could also compensate you for other losses, if you insist."

[burning_gold]

He eyes Tea for a moment and then says, "...Maybe."

[eversomuchfun]

"I think you're right, we haven't met before. I'm Sherlock," he offers.

[burning_gold]

"Sherlock, seriously? I'm Zeke," he says. (Click.) "Vaguely disappointing to meet you, but maybe you can make up for that."

[imeanforever]

Tea what are you doing.

"Stop," sighs Promise. "Do vampires need to breathe?" she asks Tea.

[eversomuchfun]

"No," says Tea, serenely.

[imeanforever]

"Is there some reason why you decided I needed another vampire?"

[eversomuchfun]

"He was about to eat that girl. I decided in the interests of good-faith negotiations with the Slayer I should probably stop him. You have expressed an opposition to murder so I chose the nonlethal option."

[imeanforever]

"Fair enough." She glances at Zeke. "You may speak."

[burning_gold]

"I am so much less interested in making out with you now," says Zeke to Tea. "What the fuck?"

[imeanforever]

"As he describes, I am opposed to murder. Are you in immediate need of food, because if you are I will let you have some of his."

[burning_gold]

"I'm not, like, about to die, but I'm kinda hungry, yeah."

[imeanforever]

"You may, without extraneous action, drink non-sapient-sourced blood."
