Has anyone found a way to burn things yet?

[ The voice that comes over the network is clearly exhausted, an almost husky rasp to the words that are slightly muffled, as if her mouth might be covered by a layer of fabric. ]

Because I'd love to get rid of these damn flowers and burning them sounds really cathartic right now.

[ She sounds weary, frustrated, and a little bit sick. And for good reason: one of the perks of being a vampire is an enhanced sense of smell. ]

Alternatively, are there any magic users out there who could set up a ward or something to keep this smell out?

That's good, then. You're doing good.

[ She feels like it's important to impress that upon him, that's he's doing the right thing by trying to help fix the situation he helped to create. ]

I'm hoping to be able to help too when these flowers go away. [ If they go away. ]

[The Soldier ducks its head a little at the praise, as if unsure how to really respond. It finally settles on,]

I'm trying. It's hard when I don't have a lot of instruction.

[ She tilts her head to try meeting his gaze, or at least keep an eye on his expression as she makes her offer. ]

If you ever need anyone to help with that, or to weigh in on whether something might be a bad idea, I'd be glad to help. I'm not the best judge of things sometimes myself, but I'd do my best.

[And that's why she'd been a handler, before the blood-drawing. Even a technician could give instructions. It doesn't quite meet her eyes, but does focus on her face a little. Try to smile.]

Okay. I'll remember that. Thank you.
