Chloe.Bruadair  Chloe was, for a change, not in the infirmary. She was on her way to see Vivian. Since it was Family week, and there were few patients, she thought it would be nice to meet with the woman and perhaps have tea. In fact, she was taking one of her own mixtures down to the class just for the two of them to share. Well, hopefully. Assuming Vivian was there.
"I'm certain she is," she whispered to herself as she walked. "Well if you would stop being so stingy about your knowledge, I wouldn't have to guess would I?"
Fortunately, as she drew near Vivian's room, she could hear voices inside. Though she feared that might mean she was interrupting. She paused at the door and knocked quietly, before carefully poking her head inside. "Vivian? May I come inside--oh, you have guests. Shall I come back another time then?"

Marianna, Avence, and Silveril Volce Everyone turned to the sound of a door opening. Silveril turned because he was surprised someone other than him was actually going to visit Vivian. It was Chloe. So it seemed everyone had the same idea of coming to see each other, but Chloe was a bit faster and it seemed as though Vivian was taken already with what Chloe had brought with her. Well... it's fine. Eating and chatting in a classroom has been done before, maybe.
"Hello Chloe. I'll take that the infirmary is actually not busy today. I was actually just about to go see you to introduce my family to you. They brought some never melting ice with them since I had asked for it a while back." Silveril told her. Oh yes, but first he needed to introduce his family to Chloe. That was the whole point in seeing her. "Ah yes. Marianna, Avence. This is Chloe. She is the school nurse."
"Avence Volce." Avence answered, not being one for introductions and normally Avence would introduce Marianna too, but it looked like she was trying to speak for herself.
"Marianna." Marianna repeated just for the newcomer. Twice. She spoke twice today. She was doing a very good job. These were Silveril's friends so... they seemed nice enough.
"Well, I'd prefer to go hunting, but Silveril made us promise not to while we're here. So... I suppose your potions will do for now." Avence said as Silveril started to push desks with Marianna so they could make a makeshift table so they could all sit around it.

Chloe.Bruadair "No, it would seem everyone is too busy spending time with their loved ones to need my services today," Chloe said. "Which is for the best. Doctors are actually happiest when they're not working."
She smiled, slightly, when Silveril's siblings introduced themselves. She had thought Silveril a quiet man but it seemed his family was even more so. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. And I'm relived to hear about the ice. It'll be useful should you ever injure yourself again. Last time we did have a difficult time keeping your arm cold enough."
Chloe set the tea she had brought on the desks Silveril was pushing together. She watched quietly, wondering if she should point out the blood packs she kept in the refrigerator in the infirmary. Though, really, it would likely be best to avoid there for the time being since there was something of an awkward reunion going on, that was better left uninterrupted. In the mean time, she was glad to see Silveril's family had come--or at least some of it. Considering he didn't seem to be on the best of terms with them, it was encouraging that some of them were able to find the time to come visit him. As for herself and Vivian, well, she doubted either of them had family left alive. Still, being able to gather like this, just friends, was also very pleasant.
She smiled, and batted a wayward vision away from her face as it tried to fly into her head. Ugh. Really. Those little beasts couldn't rest for even five minutes could they?

Marianna, Avence, and Silveril Volce When they were finished moving tables, they all gathered chairs and sat beside each other in order from oldest to youngest because that was how they were used to it back at home. Starting from the right, it was Avence, Marianna, and finally Silveril.
Silveril caught that look from Vivian. He didn't think she would be interested, but she didn't say anything. Maybe he will pretend not to notice. No. This will bother him for sure. He'll break a piece off of his never melt ice then. "Yes. It was a bit of a hassle. Never melt ice usually helps with small injuries, so it isn't the cure for everything for vampires." Silveril said.
Avence glanced at Marianna who had been blankly watching her brother converse with Chloe. "Marianna." Avence said finally. Marianna frowned and then she figured out what she was forgetting. She rummaged through her pockets and pulled out the ice. Both were wrapped with pretty wrapping paper and tied carefully with a ribbon. She couldn't help it. She wanted to wrap them.
She pushed one towards Chloe and then another towards her brother. "Thank you, Marianna." Silveril said as she got up to pour the potions that Vivian had graciously prepared for everyone and then was pouring for her brothers... and maybe out of habit, she kind of accidentally poured some in Chloe's and Vivian's cup, but she didn't seem to notice that they probably didn't drink the potion.
Marianna sat down at her place, pleased with herself as her brothers stared with disturbed silence, afraid to speak up in case they hurt her feelings.

Chloe.Bruadair
"Thank you," Chloe said, accepting the piece of wrapped ice. She smiled slightly. How cute. She brushed at the side of her temple, shaking her head slightly as that vision came back to pester her. She finally lost her patience and grabbed the vision, slamming it onto the table before viciously dropping the box of treats on its head. It let out a desperate little pop before vanishing.
That, apparently, was the signal for all the other visions in the room to spring to life and dive bomb Chloe all at once. Chloe let out a slightly panicked cry and covered her head with her hands as she ducked under the desks, trying to avoid the angry visions. She swatted at them furiously, forgetting the others in the room for the moment, as the visions swarmed around her.
One minute she was there under the desks and the next, she was suddenly on a wind swept hill top over looking a gray, stormy sea. Well, she hadn't really been relocated--she was still under the desks physically, but she had gone completely quiet as a vision slipped into her head to show her scene on the hill top. Chloe's eyes went wide and her expression blank as her mind filled with the images from the vision.
At first, she thought she was alone on the hill. But no, she realized there was someone with her--no, not someone. It was a strange creature that was staring out to sea. it was the size of a horse with a single, long horn on its head and a wild mane golden girls though most of its body was covered in brown-green scales. Chloe couldn't help but approach it, feeling the spray of the sea as she neared the edge of the cliff. Something about the creature--it's expression, it's eyes. As it swung its narrow head toward her, she had no doubt it was intelligent. It stared at her with those deep, overwhelming eyes and Chloe felt her chest tighten. She understood that it wanted something. But it was something she could never give.
"I'm sorry," Chloe said, stretching out her hands to bury them in the thick mane. "I'm so sorry..."
And in reality, Chloe buried her head against a chair and murmured her most heart felt apologies....

Marianna, Avence, and Silveril Volce Silveril was not sure to make of Chloe's reaction. It just didn't seem her, but he doubted it was the tea since it looked like there was something she saw that they couldn't see that she was trying to attack, but he was a bit unsure of what to make of her when she started apologizing to the chair. He didn't know how to react to this because he had never experienced this kind of oddness in his life. But Vivian got up from her chair and began to pat Chloe. Perhaps she had it under control.
Avence watched this with sheer amusement. This was not his friend embarrassing him in front of his siblings. So he was enjoying this show this woman Chloe was giving him. He sipped at his tea. However, he knew that Marianna would be hurt. "Marianna. She's not upset with you and the way you poured tea in her cup. I believe that in some cultures, they like to do this before drinking tea. I would know. I've traveled and lived longer than you." It was all a lie, but he didn't want his sister to get upset and retreat back into her shell when she was trying to take steps to get out of it. Even if this was Silveril's friend, he would not forgive her if she was upset because of Marianna because she tried hard even if she was a bit slow in the head.
Marianne stared only at Chloe, seeing her being upset. Her face didn't change, but she stared and stared. What had she done wrong?! She didn't mean to do this?! Avence's voice broke through her thoughts as he tried to explain her actions. Was it a lie? Or was it true? It sounded like a lie. She was frozen, unsure what to do.
Silveril decided that he shouldn't ignore this. He wasn't sure if Chloe was alright and he felt worried. "Chloe? Are you... alright? Do you... need to go... to the infirmary?" Silveril realized how stupid he sounded after he asked and Avence most likely caught on.
"Don't be ridiculous, Silveril. She is the school nurse. There'll be no one to see her."

Chloe.Bruadair Chloe was still quite disoriented from the unexpected (and rather weird) vision. She grabbed Vivian by the shoulders and said in a slightly desperate tone. "I don't know how to help!" She frowned and looked at her carefully, slowly starting to focus on her features. She looked around carefully, then back at Vivian. "What....was I doing again?" she asked.
Ah, wait. She was in Vivian's class, wasn't she? They were going to have tea, and then--she shot a murderous look at the rest of the visions, who were sitting idly a few desks away. They were SO getting fed to Isamu's cat later on. She straightened slightly, and rubbed her forehead as the little vision flew out of it and vanished with a loud, satisfied pop. "My apologies. It seems I was waylaid by one of my visions. Though I must admit, that one made far less sense than most."
She glanced back at Silveril, finally registering what he said as she pulled herself carefully to her feet. "No, no. I'm quite alright. I do apologize for that...display." Well, she assumed it was a display. She couldn't really remember what she'd been doing during the vision itself. "It does happen sometimes if I let my guard down." She smiled a little sheepishly. "For most people, visions are something that occasionally visit them while they sleep or come to them quietly. But my visions are very tangible--at least to me. And they constantly fly around trying to get into my head. And occasionally, they get in in. Usually at the most inopportune times."
"I apologize if I startled any of you," she said, looking at his siblings.

Marianna, Avence, and Silveril Volce Marianna relaxed just a little bit when she realized that Chloe just had some kind of power. So Avence did lie to her! Marianna scooted away from Avence to show her contempt. He took no notice of it since he would be forgiven five minutes later.
"It was certainly interesting and amusing. We weren't startled in the least. As long as there was no physical contact involved, you're free to do what you wish." Avence said, not bothering to sip at the potion since he did not like it one bit. It was filling and it gave him nutrients, but he preferred hunted blood much better to potions. He had little stomach for it, but he'll drink it when he was utterly hungry.
"...Thank goodness." was all Silveril could manage since he had been distraught with worry for a moment. The kittens had been in here though and they suddenly came and began to attack. Marshmallow pounced onto Silveril's leg and was disturbingly inching up it. He frowned as Avence cracked an amused smile.
Silveril pulled and pulled until finally Marshmallow decided it was time to release and she went flying at Avence's hair. Avence gave cry of alarm and fell back on his chair. He quickly got back to his feet and struggled to get the kitten out of his hair without ripping to the point of a bald spot.
Marianna got up from her seat and moved away from Avence, knowing that she would be no help in the situation and that she would probably make it worse. Silveril quickly went to his brother's aid, slowly picking through Avence's hair trying to untangle it from the claws.
"Karma." Avence scoffed. "So it exists."
((...If these guys got any calmer, they would be dead. gonk ))

Chloe.Bruadair
"With a vision like that, I don't know if know if what I saw was in the past, or present, or a future event. It may be an event long ended. It's so difficult to know." Chloe gave Vivian a smile. "But even then, I suppose simply remembering it is good enough. I do apologize if I worried you at all, Silveril."
"Perhaps I should have given some warning about the visions. Though I can't deny it's a little awkward to bring up during most casual conversations." She watched in amusement as the kittens came from out of no where and began wreaking havoc among the taciturn vampires. Nicodemus left the vampires to the other two. He had other prey in his sights--the visions. He took the first one by surprise, pouncing it with great delight. It exploded seconds later and the disappointed kitten went after the others, pouncing them one by one.
Several tried to escape, one attempting to nest in Chloe's hair to hide. She wrangled it free of her curls and dangled it by its tail in front of Nicodemus as he stealthily approached. The vision writhed and squeaked pathetically for the few moments it had before Nicodemus pounce--all teeth and claws. A very satisfying pop signified its demise and Chloe smiled smugly, reaching down to pick up the black kitten.
"Aren't you adorable?" she asked, scratching his belly as he rolled into a little purring ball of black fur. She looked up and held the kitten out to Marianna. Of the three siblings, she seemed the most withdrawn so Chloe couldn't help but try to reach out to her just a little. "Would you like to see him?"

Marianna, Avence, and Silveril Volce Marianna blinked when Chloe offered to let Marianna see him. She gave a nod and looked at Nicodemus. Not being given permission to touch him, she just looked at him. Marianne looked at Chloe. "I have finished looking. He is cute." Marianna said to Chloe. Is this Vivian's cat? And Angela named it? So that means this Angela must be someone close to Vivian? A daughter? Niece? Little girl.... Wait. But Vivian looked like a little girl so maybe Angela is like Vivian's mom? Marianna was confused. She couldn't imagine Vivian as a mother or an aunt, but if she was older than what she was then she can be an aunt, but she probably couldn't be a mother.
Avence glared at Vivian for her suggestion. "I'd rather not have any of my hair ripped out at all." She didn't understand how slow hair grows once a vampire hits past the age of 100. It was very, very slow. "I know. Don't worry. I'm almost done anyways." Silveril said to Avence as he gave him a slight tug in his hair.
Eventually Silveril got Marshmallow out of Avence's hair and he went over to Marianna who seemed to be oogling her eyes at Nicodemus so he figured that she probably wanted to pet a cat. Silveril went over to her and put Marshmallow in her hands. "You don't have to ask to pet them. I'm sure if you keep them distracted, Vivian won't mind at all."
It was soft. The kitten. Marianna liked it and it was adorable and warm. Well, the warmth made her a bit uncomfortable because that might make her smell a little and rot, but she could bare with it for a little bit. She glanced at Chloe and showed her Marshmallow. "Look Chloe." Marianna said, returning the favor.
