Vashti was a quarter of the way down the stairs when Acacia turned back and she heard they were to return to the kitchen with.....wait....there was another hunter? 

  Face lowering into a scowl she prepared for whatever human might appear from the basement; whether it be William or the recent addition. 
But, as Acacia passed her and an unfamiliar voice wavered up, she blinked. 

  A young man followed close behind the ginger haired female, talking easily and calmly. It was almost as if.....

  Vashti tilted her head up and raised her eyes. Her thoughts were almost in a soft laugh. [color=00a651]He doesn't even know who or what we are....[/color]

  Turning she followed the two back up the stairs and back to the kitchen; setting her plate of toast on the counter before standing back and watching them. 

   After a moment she grimaced when she realized the young boy was trying to hit on Ace; she could see the look in his eyes and hear it in his voice. Great. 

  Sitting down in a chair not far away Vashti kept watch on the two. She said nothing.......the recent developments weighed too heavily on her mind. Death was an awful thing.....always would be. There was no way around it and no way to fix it.
