Maple nodded as Olivia gave her directions, and waited until the elder vampire had walked off before turning to face Teodora. She never saw much of this woman, even being in the family for over 100 years now. As far as she knew, Teo liked her. At least she hoped she did. As everyone else walked off to do their own tasks, Maple released Kyle from her grasp and smiled at Teodora. [color=f49ac2]"Would you, um, like to lead the way?"[/color]

[i]"Yes, please lead us oh mysterious vixen of the night."[/i] Maple was about to grab Kyle again, but he floated towards the door before she could. 

[color=f49ac2]"Hunny, do you want to keep living?"[/color]

[i]"That depends on what you call 'living' dear girl."[/i]

[color=f49ac2]"Let me rephrase the question then. Do you want me to personally throw you in the fireplace?"[/color]

[i]"Thrown in the fire? Personally by you? What a treat indeed! That would be such an honor, m'lady."[/i] The rabbit bobbed in the air just out of her reach, bowing as he spoke the last few words. She felt more than heard the angry growl growing in her throat before Jasmine's hushed whisper reached her ears.

[b]"Let it go. He's not worth it right now.."[/b] The reminder caused Maple's anger at the rabbit to die out quickly, and she glanced nervously at Teodora. 

[color=f49ac2]"Heh. Sorry, he's being a little bit of an ass tonight."[/color] No matter whatever Teo said next, as she and Maple left the house Maple pulled Kyle over to her and growled in the little stuffed rabbit's ear. [color=f49ac2]"I think I'm starting to remember why I stopped bringing you along everywhere."[/color]
