CARON

[b]"I think you'd have better luck extracting a DNA sample from a rabid werewolf on steroids than from Dorian, Jules,"[/b] Caron said while he stuffed his mouth with yet another cookie. [b]"You fould try one of thefe cookies, Julef."[/b]

He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and reached to see. Oh, no. That was the last thing Jemma needed. Now she'd be the victim of this maniac she'd been complaining about for the past few weeks. After everything she went through, she didn't deserve to be this guy's student. [i]"I'm very sorry to hear that. Do you want to hang out with us at Flogging Molly?"[/i]


JEMMA

[b]"Yes, I know their ideas about cryptids are stupid, but you're being insensitive and irresponsable."[/b] Her face turned even redder and her brows drew together. Couldn't he realize the power he had? [b]"Instead of calling her an idiot, you could've explained how vampires are dangerous and that the Hollywood version of them is a real threat to society. You could've talked about the Kiss Coult and other worshipping societies. Don't you realize she's exactly the kind of victim that ends up dead in an alley because of this? You could be making our jobs easier instead of creating more victims."[/b]

She paused for a moment and itched her head, lowering her glaze. [b]"I'm sorry, that was out of place."[/b] Clearing her throat, she continued in a lower voice. [b]"I work during the day, sometimes at odd hours too, but I should be able to help you with your research."[/b] Not just help, but she was kind of relieved that it was mainly what her roll as his assistant was. Between work and school, she didn't have a lot of time left, but the time she did have was spent grieving and she was tired of hurting. This was a welcome distraction.

[b]"I do have your email, I'll send my research to you right now,"[/b] she said, taking her phone off.

[i]"I'm actually ok right now,"[/i] was the message she sent back to Caron before emailing the Professor.

[b]"Is that what you're current interest is? The Old Blood religion? I never got too much into it, I mainly know it exists but nothing more than that. Vampires don't usually like other cryptids' blood, so it's surprising they follow the existance of this one really old cryptid."[/b]
