Bonnie

[fallsoutofbox]

He'd lost her.

Hellcat didn't like to stay around him all the time - there was a reason he'd included 'cat' in her name; she could be in turns affectionate and aloof, be following him around one day and then spend the next day lounging in a corner the next.

But her moods weren't this changeable. He'd lost her while walking down a corridor. Just turned around at one point and she was gone. Given her abilities...

He crept down the corridor, looking closely at every surface. She was visible if you examined closely enough.

"Hellcat?" he called - not too loudly. The calling was incidental to the searching. "Hellcat?"

[blytheandbonnie]

Even if the doctor had been calling louder, chances were strong that Bonnie still wouldn't have heard him. Unfortunately, that sort of thing just happened when you were dancing down a hallway with earphones in your ears.

The plan had been just to get out of her room and get some fresh air, but then Weezer had come onto her iPhone and, really, how was a girl supposed to resist singing along with them?

"Your mom cooked meatloaf even though I don't eat meat / I dug you so much, I took some for the team!!" she belted out, eyes closed as she shimmied down the hall, toothbrush in one hand and iPhone clutched in the other. Apparently, the little vampire had been in the process of getting ready for bed, judging by the robe thrown over a tank top and mini, with fuzzy slippers on her feet.

She stuck the tootbrush back into her mouth, scrubbing a bit, though she continued singing around it with "Then the conversation stopped and I looked down at the ring / Your folks were next toBonnie stopped abruptly as she ran into the Doctor and she

Oh. It was that girl. The Duran Duran one. Bonnie.

"Hey!" He reached out to grab a bit of her robe, catch her attention. "You didn't see a dragon down that bit of hallway, did you? Or... trip over any dragon-shaped lumps?"

[blytheandbonnie]

As he grabbed her and began mouthing words, Bonnie pulled the earbuds out of her ears. She was pretty sure he'd said something about a dragon, but that was ridiculous.

Then again, she was pretty sure she had seen someone walking a baby dragon on a leash not too long ago. It was a pretty weird city, all in all

[fallsoutofbox]

"Or as they say in some countries, 'hello.'" Still, he was shaking her hand with a smile. With his free hand, he pointed down the hallway. "Um - I seem to have lost my dragon. Not terribly bothered, only I don't want to give somebody a scare. She's never been loose in the hallways before."

[blytheandbonnie]

"Oh, right. Hello!"

Still holding onto his hand, turned and began walking down the hall, pulling him along. "Come on, then!" she called back. "Let's find your dragon."

If nothing else, Bonnie could not claim that this was shaping up to be a boring night. "Rrraawwr," she called out in her best replica of what she imagined dragons sounded like, hoping to attract the creature with her siren song.

[fallsoutofbox]

A strange little smile ticked across his face when she started to pull him along. Usually he was the one yanking people around places. It was a surprising, but not entirely unwelcome, difference.

Still, he pulled back against her momentum, attempting to get her attention so he could clarify: "You'll want to look closely, she does sort of a - disappearing thing. Actually, it's not disappearing at all. More like an octopus. Or a chameleon. She can change colours, but she's not invisible." He took another look all around the corridor, searching for dragon-shaped lumps. "Or, if she hasn't done that, she'll be entirely black, which should make her very easy to spot."

[blytheandbonnie]

Bonnie released the Doctor's hand and turned to look at him, pausing her vocal undulations long enough to give him an incredulous look.

"Your dragon disappears?" she asked uncertainly, pushing some hair out of her face to cast a better look around the room. "It doesn't--well, it doesn't breathe fire or anything, does it?" That did make her a little nervous. Fire was not a vampire's friend.

She crouched down, casting her eyes along the expanse of the hallway--or, more importantly, using her supernatural hearing to listen for the sound of dragon feet on the ground. "Is she playing or running away?" Bonnie asked, tone casual as she continued with "You don't beat her or anything, do you?"

She crawled along the edge of the wall, mumble-singing under her breath "Karma karma karma karma karma-chameleon, you come and go."

[fallsoutofbox]

"What? No." Why would she even think that? "...I don't know, she's never snuck off before. And, no to the fire. Not so far as I've seen, and it's been, ooh -" He had to count on his fingers, "- just over a week since she followed me home."

[blytheandbonnie]

"You seem like the type of guy who would pick up strays," Bonnie commented, reaching out to pat the air a bit--just to make sure. You could never be too sure when it came to invisible dragons.

She didn't think you could be, anyway. It was just a guess. She didn't really have much experience with invisible dragons.

"I mean that in a good way," she added as an afterthought.

[fallsoutofbox]

"Good, 'cause I do it in a good way." For the first time, he flashed off a smile.

[blytheandbonnie]

Bonnie smiled back, but then again, a good majority of her facial expressions were smiles.

"So this isn't your first dragon, Doctor Doctor?"

[fallsoutofbox]

"No. Not my first... dragon." The way he said it, it sounded something like a metaphor.

[blytheandbonnie]

"Well then!" she declared, standing to her feet and brushing off her knees. "This must all be old hat to you. You probably don't need my help with this."

Instead of walking away, however, she went down the hall a bit further, giving another "rrraaaawwwwr?" sound, peering to and fro. Bonnie had never stopped giving her help when people didn't need it. That was half the fun of it.

[fallsoutofbox]

He wasn't sure the growling was going to help. On the other hand, he wasn't sure that it wouldn't help either. So he wasn't going to say anything about it.

"Can't hurt. Unless you wind up stubbing your toe. And actually I lied, it is my first dragon. Not my first stray. Rather, not the first time something or someone's followed me home."

[blytheandbonnie]

Bonnie looked at him over her shoulder, batting her eyelashes.

"Am I your first ginger?"

She gave a subtle little sniff and inclined her head to the side, focusing on the sound of his heart. Yes, a pulse. She wasn't feeling very hungry just right now, but--well, that was weird. Why did his pulse sound funny?
