"..."

A red fluid. A very dark red fluid.

When she took in its scent, it had a distinctly metallic odor.

"... I'm not a vampire," Fio said, flatly, handing the flask back without another word. Was that Sucaria's effort to frighten her in some way? For some perceived slight? The heart was much worse then this.

Unless she somehow thought that a flask of blood was an acceptable offer for a drink, in which case the Sword Witch was worried for entirely different reasons.

Before she could say anything else to the maid, she was interrupted by the sound of a certain passenger's complaints. With a sigh, the small girl approached the horse once more, reaching into the saddlebag and retrieving the jar that housed the unseelie.

"You're still in there because you keep making threats like that," she said, with a huff. Besides, having an unseelie prisoner was quite valuable in terms of research opportunities. It wasn't as if she had any intention of harming her.

Not that Wisp needed to know that.

"Now behave, or you're not going to get any honey bread," Fio continued, "Or do I need to get the centipedes?"

She had never gotten the centipedes. She never wanted to get the centipedes. She didn't even know where to get the centipedes and would hopefully never learn.

Not that Wisp needed to know that.
