the room's on fire but this is fine
Who; Holly and your character!
What; There is a vampire, LOOSE in thehospital city
Where; Around the harbour district
When; Early evening of the 19th
Warnings; Blood, probable death of an NPC by way of being turned into an unwilling juice box
In a particularly poorly lit alleyway somewhere on the outskirts of the harbour district, Holly's latched on the neck of a guy she managed to lure off the street, and who is now just about passed out in her grip. She intended to leave him alone after she'd taken a little! Only, that's not...really going to plan. He's fading very rapidly and she knows she should stop - but her hunger and her lack of much remorse for the dude in question are making the whole 'stopping before she's full' thing kinda...not a priority.
The thing is, back home? She wouldn't need to do this. She'd be able to get blood whenever she needed it, no problems. But here? It's been tricky, to put it lightly - and the hunger's only been getting worse. Something not helped by her not sleeping well.
And now there's a fucking demon bear roaming around at night, so she can't even go out when it's dark to try and get food. Maybe even not in the evenings anymore either once people really start getting twitchy, start going home earlier.
Fucks sake. What the fuck's with this place?
It's fine. This is fine. She just needs to finish up here, and then maybe Caelan will be in his apartment by the time she gets back. No need to freak out about Winne the Pooh on steroids.

Actually, that's a good point; she jabs a finger at him then. "You'd better keep this to yourself, by the way. I don't wanna find out first hand if they hang people or burn people alive or any'a that medieval shit."
Copying him, her own hands found her hips as she scowled up at him. "A vampire, you can say it, it ain't a bad word."
Compared to most of her daily vocabulary, anyway. "And I've been doin' just fine so far, just been eatin' at night- which fucking sucks, by the way-" said to the air around her and apparently the city than to Steve himself,
"-and now there's a stupid fuckin' bear that's just popped up in an exquisite example of the universe being a giant douche-canoe, so no one's comin' out at night anymore, so I'd say my best solution is for Smokey to go fuck himself right back outta existence so I can go back to what I was doing before."
She's....a little on edge. Just a smidge.

There was almost an amused smile as the tiny finger poked at him. Holly might be tiny but she was fierce and in that way reminded him of Nat. It was adorable but nothing showed on the super soldier's face. And he wouldn't tell her, but he'd rescue her if any of it happened. But better to let her know of the danger so hopefully in the future she'd be a Lot more careful and cautious.
It was odd, such a tiny person could just accept what they were and the way things were. That showed a strength to Holly's character and Steve was silently impressed. And of course none of it showed. But he still couldn't say the 'v' word out loud.
And he was about to say something about language, but a laugh threatened to come out at the douche-canoe comment. However, Rogers covered it with a cough. That sounded like something Tony's boy might say, that Peter Parker kid from Queens. So instead he knelt down to her height and shook his head. "With everything that's going on, then we're just going to have to come up with a plan so that you can feed smarter and safer."
Especially with the bear prowling around.
With a nod to emphasize his earlier words he tried a slight smile. "In the meantime, let's get you out of here."

That is to say, if she had been caught by someone else - someone who was more likely to give her trouble - she'd just turn into a bat and get the fuck outta dodge. Or just knock them out, that she could do too.
But, that was a hypothetical to shelve for next time - because there would be a next time, in the next couple of days at least, if not earlier.
Steve was taking this surprisingly well though, at least he wasn't freaking out. That would've been all she needed. It's weird having him come down more to her level though - it's something you're meant to do for kids, she knows that, but it's still weird. Makes her feel like she's little again. Something that might irritate her if she wasn't, under layers of bravado, scared about her situation here going forward.
"Yeah, well, you find me a big group'a healthy people all willing to donate blood indefinitely, then we'll talk. But until then, I gotta do this."
With a shrug, she gestured for him to get back up, her tone a bit softer and less serious as she spoke. "Come on man, get up - you're embarrassin' me here. Ain't had someone crouch down like that since I was six."
At least she wasn't arguing the 'getting out of there' point. An escort was at least something she was used to.

Internally he was freaking out, but he didn't want to do so in front of Holly because it wasn't fair to her that he would do something like that. She didn't deserve it. This was obviously new to him and he would struggle to adjust to it later.
He looked at Holly and smiled, trying not to 'be an old man' as Tony would say. "Well I don't know anyone that might be interested." Steve had thought about volunteering for that but with his super soldier enhanced system, it wasn't a good idea. Who knew what effect he would have on her and that wasn't a risk he was willing to take.
There was a smile as Rogers stood at Holly's request. It really shook him somewhere but he tried to think of something Nat or Tony or Bucky would advise and kept the calm demeanor. "Alright then, let's get you home safe."
