[ at the haunted house, kate steps outside to see laudna near the plaque. she tries not to draw attention to it, but along one of her shins is a word in white lettering: FALSE. ]
Ah... It seems we may be sharing a living space for the next while.
[she's wearing her little gown, which has black lace that looks like tree branches across it. the tree branch inch goes across her skin, too, where it spells out words. right now, visible, is You're just her thrall.]
I wouldn't mind seeing them, but I don't want any of our dear housemates growing ill. Particularly the ones who are a bit more "ordinary." [she does the finger quotes.] We ought to protect them, then.

Ah... It seems we may be sharing a living space for the next while.
... This may be a difficult arrangement...

Why? I don't mind sharing.
no subject
I think... it may not be easy to share a space with me.
no subject
[this makes her a little sad, for reasons she's not sure she could describe.]
It's easy to share a space with me. I keep out of the way.
no subject
I hope I won't be a burden on you and the others.
no subject
[at least she doesn't think so. but after a moment it occurs to her to ask.]
Why do you think you would be?
no subject
... Because of the soot.

The important things are the dusting and sweeping. I'll try to procure supplies.
And... if there's anything I can do to help you in return, please ask.
no subject
[however she would fucking love to see the soot come to life... but also she adores kate and wants to help her.]

If the soot did build up, what precisely might happen?
no subject
They're small and weak, and can easily be crushed by stomping on them. But they will attack humans, and they can make them very sick.
no subject
[i see. well, that's less fun.]

You're worried they'll blame you? Be frightened of you or angry at you?
no subject
no subject
[mmm...]
People can be small-minded, and always blame what is different than what they're used to. But I won't allow anyone to be cruel to you.
