Breakfast in Bed.

[ladysmaid]

It's Dusk, and Elsie heads over to Miss Willow's bedroom -- always Miss Willow's bedroom, even when she's not around to use it -- and rolls up her sleeves.

"Miss Willow? You awake? You need a drink."

"Their loss," Elsie says warmly. Sometimes literally. "I hope you have a good time."

Elsie, managing to be pretty steady despite just having been fed on. She drapes the bandages over her bare arm and picks up the bowl.

Elsie is civilized. She normally prefers to be hygenic. And this bowl was just coughed up. Regardless of the fact that it's still just pure vampire blood, it's hard to call that sanitary.

Elsie draws herself up. She is not some vitae-grubbing lackey. She doesn't do her job looking after her lady and the family just to get that irresistible blood. She'd do the job anyway. Without the silly Bond, without anything. That was family. That was love.

...But it didn't mean she wasn't still an addict, as much as the next ghoul. And it smelled so good.

Waste not, want not. As Elsie turned away, she lifted the bowl to her lips and drank. Then, when the rapturous look passes, she wipes her lips with the back of her hand in turn, a little embarrrassed.

"I always try to."

Willow politely pretends that Elsie is invisible while the she drinks from the bowl. It isn't as if she hasn't done the same while traveling, when there's no eager ghoul to spoil her when she wakes. Tonight there is an eager ghoul for her, and there's no sense in the...extra...blood going to waste. Starving childer in the Canadian tundra and all that.

She hums softly to herself as she moves over to her wardrobe and begins picking through her clothes. It's been awhile since she's been here, she may have to slide "shopping" into the night's plans...

"If there's anything else you need help with, Miss Willow, just let us know."

"I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise," Willow answers, extracting a shimmery green dress from the depths and inspecting her resulting reflection in the mirror. "Thank you for breakfast. Your care is, as always, much appreciated."
