Sneaking In (Bella) - Bella's Castle

She wasn't shy about nudity, nor ashamed of it, but she averted her gaze respectfully, nonetheless. "Of course.. these should be your size, give or take."

She slipped on the jeans and the off the shoulder sweater.

"They fit well enough. Thank you."

She smiled brightly, a proud sort of grin, as she nodded. "Perfect."

She smiled.

"So you will truly take me shopping? I do not have anything with which to pay."

She laughed, "Yeah, truly, we'll go tomorrow night if that's okay? We'll get you whatever you want."

She beamed.

"Thank you, again. I'm sorry to have dropped in like this."

Her head riots to the side, a warm smile over her lips. "There's no reason to apologize.."

She nodded.

"But there is. I have arrived with no warning, and you are not only taking me in, but plan to spend money on me. I am truly grateful."

She chuckled a little, shrugging. "I like helping people."

She smiled.

"I can tell."

A nervous little laugh fell from her lips as she pushed a strand of hair behind her hair. "Worst Vampire ever, right?"

She reached out and hugged her.

"If you were any better at being a monster, I wouldn't be able to do this."

She smiled and leaned into the hug in an adorable cuddling sort of way, hugging the other woman back. "Well, there's that, then, and that's good enough for me. Is there anything else you need tonight? What do you eat?"

She smiled.

"I eat anything, really, as long as it's not overly processed. And if iron in all forms could be kept away from me?"

She gave a slow little nod. "So like.. fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts..?"

She smiled.

"I even eat meat. It's the banality of processing that makes it difficult to digest."

She gave a nod and a smile, "Oh, perfect. Steak?"

She shrugged.

"It's tasty."

Bella's smile brightened. "Wonderful, I'll send Babette to get groceries."

She nodded.

"Perhaps now you could show me where I will be sleeping?"

"Oh, right, sorry." She fumbled her words a bit, heading back out of the west wing. Down the stairs, then back up to the East Wing, showing her a smattering of rooms. "There's plenty, Babette sleeps downstairs." She opened one of the doors, the room pristine and fully furnished, looking like something out of a magazine. "Mike has a room, Robert has a room, Nolan has a room.. one I'm leaving open in case Mercedes wants to come live here.. that leaves two."

She made a bit of a face, hmm-ing and haa-ing a bit. "I may have to attach more rooms, soon.." The realization that her house was filling up seemed to have just sunk in.

She laughed.

"I will of course be sleeping with Mike."

She lowered her head, covering her face with her hand. "Oh, god, of course, I mean, it's not the 1800's anymore, I don't know why I assumed - I - of course. We'll have the bags delivered to your room."

She chuckled.

"Bella, darling, you thought that because that is the time I come from."

"Right." She responded, nodding. "Okay. Obviously. Okay. I'm gonna go to sleep now." She opened the door to Mike's room, which he left unlocked half the time. "Here it is.. if you need anything during the day, you let Babette know.. otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow night, yeah?"
