Well, this is new. And that's OK! New is good. Unexpected is not, particularly, and that's why this particular young man's surprise at finding himself wandering strange corridors has quickly melted to suspicion, and then anger. 

He schools himself out of it by the time he finds the stairs. He waits at the bottom of them, perfectly still apart from large, dark eyes that flit over the whole place, taking it all in with no expression on his face. Only the Window gets a second look, and when he's finished his surveillance he walks over to it and stands there, staring in mute wonder, one hand pressed to the glass. 

He can investigate the room later. This is more interesting for now.

"It's very salty sweat, with a bitter tang of bad feet," Margolotta says. "It's quite distinctive, and enough humans can smell it, not just we and the werewolves."

Poor thing doesn't even have a well-working nose!

She says 'we' a lot. James knows what that means. That's what people say when they don't have opinions of their own, and are just repeating the words of others. Kids do it a lot. It annoys him.

'You're stupid,' he says purposefully, knowing it makes him sound stupid. But that's OK. He gets up off the chair, and looks at the man she just attacked.

'What do you think he'll do to you when I tell him you just bit him?'

[margolotta]

"Nothing," she says, smiling sweetly.

He doesn't trust smiles like that. And he's had enough.

'You don't know that,' he says, and turns his back so he can return to staring out of the Window.

It doesn't even take a second, because vampires are fast. Really fast.

A cold hand touches his neck, and then two fangs briefly pierce his skin; cold lips suck at the incisions.

And then, a brief lick, and benevolent fog descends. He might have talked to some irrelevant girl just now, but he definitely did not resolve to do anything as a consequence, and nothing all that unusual happened.

For all the world to see, she just hugged him good-bye before she skipped off and was gone.

Later, in the evening, he might find very faint and faded puncture marks on his neck.-
