Shock pretended to take offense.

"How could you say such a thing, [i]countess[/i]?" she asked, with her back strategically turned to "Corvin" so he wouldn't see her grin. "After all I've [i]done[/i] for you."

The way she stressed the word insinuated the more accurate "done [i]to[/i] you." She placed a hand on her hip and leaned her other elbow on the counter.

"Such as letting you onto my property after you [i]insulted[/i] me so."

That time, she added an edge to her tone to warn Carmilla to drop it. While Shock already made Carmilla pay for destroying her most prized possession, it certainly hadn't been forgotten.

At that moment, Agnes got her attention to inform her of the new policy.

"Is that so?" Shock asked. She made sure not to look down at Lock, but cackled, having caught the loophole as well. She smirked as she turned back to Agnes and put on her sweetest tone. "I'll [i]certainly[/i] let them know."

Eventually. When she felt like it. Lock, at least, she didn't have to worry about.

Shock let Agnes and Lillith get back to their transaction as she turned back to Carmilla and "Corvin".

"Isn't it [i]terrible[/i] the sorts of the new monsters we get these days?" Shock asked. "Always keeps this town [i]interesting[/i]."

She glanced at "Corvin".

"You'll fit right in," she said reassuringly.
