["Who isn't running from something?"

Davina can't help but think she has a point. Then the witch shakes her head as she goes to clean up the spell she was working on.

"Vampires kind of settled in to the town I was living in. When they found out there was a local witch they started making demands. Daylight rings, all of that. They weren't the kind of vamp you want walking around during the day, so I bailed. Figured I could hide out in New Orleans for a little while until they decided to relocate."

Davina nods.]

Then you definitely came to the right place. I know just who to point you to.

[commend]

And where. What town were you living in?

( Because, this sounds like information he should pass on to slayers. )

[regentem]

["Ashdown, Oklahoma." She makes a face. "Who knows how much of it is left though."

Davina nods sympathetically.]

Do you have a car?

["Yeah."

Davina nods again, before reaching for the witch's pen and folds over the corner of her map.]

This is the address of a man named Vincent Griffith. He's our sanctuary guy. He'll find you somewhere to get settled, and we'll see what we can do for Ashdown.

[commend]

We will do something.

( He promises. )

[regentem]

[The witch nods and retreats back to her car. "Thank you."

As she goes, Davina takes a deep breath before turning back to Scott.]

I'll let the pack now, about Ashdown. Maybe they can send some of them out to handle it.

[Werewolf bites are very effective.]

[commend]

Let me know if they need backup. I have slayers two speed dials away now. We're kind of all on this network now.

( It's ... nice to feel like there's an umbrella over their heads. )

[regentem]

[She nods.]

I will. We'll see what Aiden says.

[commend]

Aiden, he's...

( So many names! )

[regentem]

Hayley's second in command. Josh's husband?

[commend]

...Right. Vampire. Head vampire.

( He thinks. That makes sense. )

OK. Tell me what Aiden says. I can pitch in, too. Thanks for taking me with you today.

[regentem]

Thanks for coming. And for the talk.

[She doesn't want it to seem like she was brushing off his empathy, she just doesn't always know how to handle it. And then, because she's feeling feisty ...]

It'll probably take Aiden a couple hours to head into town. Maybe ... we can take the long way back on your bike?

[commend]

Sure. Scenic route.

( The glint in his eye implies his own feistiness and there might be a kiss waiting for her at the end of that ride. )

[regentem]

[She is definitely not opposed to that. And with that, off they go for a nice motorcycle ride.]
