Message: <blockquote data-quote="izillama" data-source="post: 4617312" data-attributes="member: 79171">(If this were an anime, a vein would be throbbing on Clover's temple at this point.)One moment her fist was sailing through the air. The next moment, Koln was cowering in fear behind Ruby.Clover blinked once. Twice. Where had that come from? Well, she knew that she was mad about her microwave (even if she also knew that she no longer had any use for one). But really, thinking backwards about five seconds in time, she felt stupid. Especially since Koln had been able to dodge her fist so fluidly. It was odd to think that someone like Koln, with his height and muscle tone, could be so graceful! He wasn't as graceful as Ruby, though. Clover felt like a pelican trying to compare herself to an eagle and a swan. It hardly seemed fair. Drawing a breath, she sheepishly pulled herself out of her awkward fighting stance. She looked at Koln and Ruby with apologetic eyes (real ones, not just trying to win them over), "Ack... I'm sorry. Koln. Ruby. But... you really shouldn't steal my things and break them, Koln. And then... Mindy coming back out of the blue kind of had me on edge. And I'm really hungry... or thirsty or whatever. I'm just kind of stressed... and the whole microwave thing..."She shook her head to clear it. Clover never though that she would see the day where she of all people would be caught apologizing like a whiny little kid. She wrung her hands, clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation. Then, she offered, "Koln, I don't need another microwave. It's... fine. Just ask before taking any of my things next time, okay? Really, I'll share. Hell, maybe I'll even let you throw my hair dryer out the window next, if that'll make you happy."She tried to smile, but it came out weakly. She was already breaking her promise to herself. She was being weak in front of the people that needed her most. Another moment passed, and she sighed. Then, she looked at Ruby, answering her question from before, "Ruby? I know we have to find Suzie. I mean, I'm guessing that's one of the goals you were talking about. But, before that..." she hesitated. Koln was going to hate her. She averted her gaze from both of them, "Before that, I think I might need to... eat. If that's ok? But I'm kind of worried. I mean, that cow blood last night did nothing for me. And I've been by three humans today who all did nothing for me. I mean, is that normal? Koln, you know about vampires, right? I mean, is there a reason that nothing is smelling good to me?"</blockquote>
