Knock it off!"She looked back at their "host", her words succinct yet polite, "I'm very sorry that you have such a low opinion of us as to think we would do something so dishonorable as fail to hold up our end of the agreement or even do something so boorish as to burn your house down. Believe me, Dr. Liverman, such actions would be not only shameful, but also a great waste of alliance and, frankly, we don't care too much for fire. For the record."As for the rest, Dr. Liverman, we would not have crossed your threshold had you not bid us enter and, I reiterate, that we mean you no harm or foul. However, need I remind you that, though I offered you a boon for helping us, and you named it--blood--I was the one who proffered the terms of the agreement being as such that you would incur our good will by being to collect a sample from one of us; whosoever we saw fit. To be honest, Dr. Liverman, I have not fed in days and have recently given up my own blood to a purpose of my own device, and I simply do not think it prudent to share any more this evening. Nor, to be honest, do I feel entirely comfortable aiding in the creation of a device of my own destruction. I was actually going to suggest that you collect your sample from our Ruby, if she would be so kind." She nodded her head at the red-headed girl, but then snapped her head back to Liverman, "However, I think we have spent enough time locked in basements for a time. To be honest, I think we would much prefer keeping above-grounds, if you wouldn't mind. If you can accommodate us without any further implication of offense, we might, perhaps, be able to discuss a second sample. But I do hope you understand that we also incur an amount of risk for allowing you to do this. And to be fair, the four of us have done nothing to threaten you, and I really don't think we deserve the hostility. We did, after all, offer to leave. We could easily take our blood with us, I think."Ah, and, on trust and formality, my name is Angelica." She nodded curtly.</blockquote>
