I think about repeating it for no other reason than to bug her, but I can't help but agree that clonejuice is just too gross to risk repeating. Because, as she said, ew. My nose crinkles even as I take the vial off her hands, holding it up long enough to confirm that -- yup, it's blood -- before I lower it, wondering where the heck I'm going to store it before I remember I've got that neat Victorian lab of mine just down the hall.
"Couldn't we just call it, I dunno, blood?" I suggest, before something else comes to mind. Should I say thank you? It is, technically, a gift, and the trust she's placing in me by handing it over like this is as inherent as it is extreme. People in our position aren't typically forthcoming with anything that can be used against us someday. "Um."
I don't know where to look. My fingers curl around the vial, putting it out of sight, if not out of mind, and I glance at her. As far as Christmas' go, it's about as different from last year as I'd expected, but not as lonely as I anticipated.
