As she should. [It's said with the same hint of teasing and when Vastra takes a step closer, Natasha remains where she is, still calm and relaxed. She can tell the other woman is uncomfortable at being caught in this and she gives her a faint, crooked smile.] Oh, I'm all too well aware, yes. You haven't alarmed me, Vastra. I can't say other people I know would be entirely comfortable with it, but I've seen... Well. Let's just say that I've seen what humanity is capable of doing to themselves, with far less reasoning. Dead is dead.

[Vastra's explanation is fascinating and Natasha listens intently, piecing it together, picking up on subtle things that the other woman didn't include but that were implied there all the same.]

You were the only one to wake up?
eversohungry: (an old debt has come due)

And that is precisely why I have kept it to myself. I know certain people would be revolted, concerned that I might eat their children if I was hungry enough. [Vastra fixes Natasha with a very concerned, very vulnerable look.] If you would keep this to yourself, I would be very grateful to you.

[Her eyes drift shut, as though replaying the entire scene in her mind to check the facts, and she nods.] I was the only one. They were all killed before I could save them.

That does not justify what I did, though. [Vastra opens her eyes again and looks intensely at Natasha, as though trying to impress upon her how she's changed.] Anyone would fight to protect themselves, however feeding off of the diggers who hadn't done anything to me was inexcusable. I was shown that before I could do too much damage.

[Natasha gives her a crooked smile.] Don't worry. I'm not in the habit of sharing secrets.

[She's not sure why Vastra's explaining that. If someone had come in and destroyed that many of her people, Natasha's not sure she wouldn't have wiped them all out as well. But she figures its better to keep that comment to herself. She's well aware she doesn't think and react like most people.]

It would have been a harsh way to wake up, though. I'm sorry.
eversohungry: (This is not red wine)

[Once you had been straightened out by the Doctor, anything would seem a dangerous pitfall or severe shortcoming. Vastra would always feel justified in defending herself and her city and Jenny, but would never forget those she killed who were innocent. Simply because she was angry. Because she could.]

[She shakes her head slightly.]
It was many years ago, though sometimes it does not feel that way. But it is nothing to be sorry over. It was simply an unfortunate way to begin a new life.

Well, there's plenty of us with our fair share of those. [Natasha gives her a wry grin, propping her hands on her hips.]

Would you like me to keep watch for you while you finish your meal?
eversohungry: (I'm trying to be delicate)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-02 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
No-- [Vastra says rather quickly. She clears her throat, trying to restore her usual polite air.] No I am a, ah, noisy eater. [She clears her throat again and her stomach makes a noise of protest.]

...I can eat something later. I do enjoy things humans eat.

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-02 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natasha crosses her arms over her chest and gives Vasta an unimpressed look, having heard her stomach rumble in protest.]

Finish your lunch. I'll stay out of earshot, if that will make you feel better. [She pauses to glance around, then points up to one of the higher buildings.] I'll be up there. Between the height and the storm effects, you'll be fine. Take your time. I'll call down a warning if I see anything approaching.
eversohungry: (PATERNOSTER REPRESENT)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-03 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Vastra stares at Natasha for a moment. Obviously, she can't argue with this.] ...are you certain you don't have any relatives from the East End?
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Bemused)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-04 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natasha just smirks at her before she uses a low-hanging branch to help her scale upwards once more.]

The east end of what? I suppose anything's possible.
eversohungry: (twenty-four percent)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-05 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
London. Ah, nevermind. [Vastra looks listlessly back at the half eaten body, then back at Natasha. She calls up:] And you swear not to listen or look, Natasha?

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-07 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Bon appetit, Vastra. [There's humor in Natasha's voice as she calls back down to the woman, then swings herself up high enough that she'll be able to keep an eye on things and give her friend the privacy she desires.]
eversohungry: (I know how you can blush)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-08 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Vastra looks disgruntled up at Natasha scaling upwards.] That's not the response I was looking for!

[She sighs and looks at the body again, waits for Natasha to finish climbing, then goes back to eating... But it does feel rather intimate and embarrassing to know someone could be watching.]

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-08 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[For her part, Natasha grants her the privacy she wants, keeping her word and finding the highest point as she keeps watch. The district seems quiet at the moment, which is a relief, because the fighting's been fairly intense all day. A short breather is nice. And the lightning strikes that touch down at random points of this district are a stunning thing to watch and try to predict. She'd always been fond of storms.

She waits and keeps watch, assuming Vastra will let her know when she's done, unless they get interrupted by cultists first. For the moment, it remains all clear.]
eversohungry: (not keen on the society of apes)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-10 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Minutes go by, Vastra tries to keep as quiet as she can while eating. It's a messy process though, and a body doesn't exactly come apart quietly. Occasionally she looks up to see if Natasha is watching.]

[Soon, Vastra is straightening up and wiping her mouth again. She takes a deep breath and lets it out--yes, that is much better.]


Natasha dear? [Vastra calls upwards, then bends down to pick up the clothing and pack it into her bag for emergency situations. Because that's all that's left: clothes.]
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Propped)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-10 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What, no dessert?

[There's still humor evident in Natasha's voice as she calls back to her and a moment later, she drops down off the wall to land in front of Vastra once more, an impish grin gracing her lips.]
eversohungry: (I'm trying to be delicate)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-15 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Vastra raises her brow slightly at the suggestion, thinks of an off-color comment to make, then lets it drop with a slight shake of her head.] No, not today. Perhaps tomorrow.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Joking)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-15 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natasha snickers quietly at that, letting her gaze sweep their surroundings.] Well, if you want suggestions, I can point out a few options for you. Can't guarantee the flavor though.

[She flicks her gaze back to Vastra with a crooked smile.] We should get back. It's a little too quiet here for my liking.
eversohungry: (We are married)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-16 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vastra shuffles awkwardly. Apparently there is something that makes her uncomfortable--talking about her diet with such levity, with someone who isn't her wife or Strax (who usually said something like 'Good show, human filth probably deserved it!').] I most likely will not need to eat again for another... [She clears her throat and finishes the sentence quickly.] Two days.

Yes, it is quiet. Though at least we shan't have to worry about his friends looking for a body...
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Competent)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2013-04-18 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Natasha doesn't miss that she's managed to unsettle the other woman, so she thinks a change in subject is probably in order, since that hadn't been her intent. Then again, she doubted Vastra had encountered many people who could joke about it so calmly. Most people were more squeamish than that.]

There should be a group set up outside the gate to this sector. I heard there were medics and reinforcements pushing up there this morning. I could use some more ammo, and maybe a bite to eat myself.
eversohungry: (I shant be needing dinner)

[personal profile] eversohungry 2013-04-18 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[YES NATASHA, MOST PEOPLE GET A LITTLE UPSET WHEN PEOPLE EAT OTHER PEOPLE. But I digress.]

[The fact that Natasha wants to eat, after potentially watching Vastra at her meal, is a bit stunning but Vastra manages to not gape. And help change the subject.]


Ah, that is good news. I could use a rest as well. What is it... mustn't go swimming after eating?
