Well, that was to be expected, really. Monty didn't take well to anyone, unless they were helpless and edible. She did not know, however, when Minh seemed to surprised and upset by the fact that Aderlass was staying over. As far as she knew, the two were on good terms. They had even exchanged blood. Or something. She had never really asked the details of that particular situation. It had been very odd, and Minh didn't really care to speak of it.
"Oh, Aderlass is a big boy," Mnem said easily. "I'm sure he can care for himself. Nothing to fear but feral banders and carnivorous plants." She smiled benignly at Aderlass. "I do hope you don't sleepwalk." To Minh, she continued: "You won't need to put up with him for long--he'll only be on the couch for the night. We need to meet someone in the morning."

Taking another bite of his food he watched in amusement at the look of distress that crossed over Minh’s face when she overheard that he was going to be spending the night here.
“I am sure I can handle that mutant,” he replied, with a nod of his head towards where his cane and hat lay, in agreement to what Mnem had said. He was probably going to have more trouble facing what they called a couch rather then the Monty.
“From the way you act, it would almost seem that you did not want to pay me back for that precious blood sample I gave to you. You would not go back on your word would you?” He taunted her with a small smirk on his face. It would seem that Mnem did not know anything of their deal, so teasing her seemed all the more tempting.

People all had their nervous ticks, whether entirely noticeable or not. Minh, for her part, suffered a rather visible twitch in her left eye when under duress. It was wonderful that Aderlass was having such a delightful time in tormenting her, but Minh was still fairly mortified at the levels she'd steeped to for a simple blood sample. It would have been so much easier just to have slipped him a little something in his tea and take what she wanted while he was passed out cold.
She settled for a noncommittal grunt in response, and started to clean the kitchen out of nervous habit. What was really unfortunate about the situation was Mnem's continued association with the mouse. If he wasn't always cropping up, Minh might have had a chance of avoiding him indefinitely.
And there was the matter of his blood. After looking into it, it was fairly obvious he hadn't been entirely forthcoming with her: someone had tampered with his genetics before--which might explain his intense fear of needles--and his horns weren't a naturally occurring mutation. Still, the technique behind the splicing was fairly advanced and Minh couldn't help but be a little jealous of the genius behind it.

Mnem wondered what exactly Minh had gotten herself into with Aderlass. She almost regretted not having pressed the issue a long while back, when she still had an easy chance to, because whatever it was, it sounded like something she needed to know.
For Minh's safety, at the very least. She had a good sense of Minh's moderate social retardation, and in her weaker moments she almost felt the desire to assist her in her no-doubt perilous journey through the world. Or she would, if she weren't entirely certain that Minh would probably burn the world to the ground before it had the opportunity to harm her.
Besdies, Minh's left eye was doing the twitchy thing again. Something was going on. She turned to Aderlass with curiosity, deciding to go ahead and ask the question: "And what exactly would be my dear friend's word?"

“I think that is something that you friend,” he pointed to Minh, “would be better off telling. I do not want to be one to spread secrets.” he said the last part with pure tease, knowing he was probably adding fuel to a fire.
He had a smirk on his face which betrayed all of the humor he was getting out of this whole situation. He was not purposefully being mean to Minh, it was just nice to know that all of this meant enough to the female that it caused her discomfort, or at least one way or the other it did. It was an odd sense of humor to be sure.
Taking another sip of his coffee he finished off the rest of his food. Pushing his plate away from him he was content to sit and continue their chat till everyone else was done. “Well that was a lovely meal.”

Minh seethed, "It's not so much a secret, as a business agreement. And a rather embarrassing one, at that." She turned to Mnem, "He wouldn't agree to the blood draw until I agreed to do that nasty with him. He hasn't collected yet."
She stood up, and dumped her plate in the sink, muttering the whole way, "Remind me next time I decide to play the good scientist it's much easier to just slip some Rohypnol into a drink, will you? Then I don't have to deal with insensitive men and/or panic attacks. It was just a needle, for fucks sake."
"And if you'll excuse me, I have work to do," she snapped, stomping out of the kitchen with the aim of letting her paws land as heavily as possible.
She knew he'd just been teasing, but--seriously. Blushing virgin, here.

Mnem stared blankly at her friend while she worked herself into an unholy snit and then stomped out of the room. She really would have been better off just slipping something into his drink. Mnem should have thought drugging test subjects would have been a time-honored tradition, after what they had done with Shinrai. It's not like Mnem wouldn't have given her the goods.
Besides, Minh did not seem to know the first rule of coming up with a contract: "My mind, soul, and especially body are non-negotiable." Perhaps Mnem should prepare a list.
But that was work for later. She looked at Aderlass with narrowed eyes. "What Minh knows about relationships, darling, would not fill a thimble. If I find you've taken advantage in any way, no living soul shall quell my wrath. Just a friendly warning," she said, cheerily. "Now, let's clean up."

He watched as Minh went on her little rant before she left the room with a very determined stride and then a door slam. Well that was interesting.
He had not meant to make her angry by his teasing, but he did have to admit that there was some sort of proud feeling that resulted from her reaction. He doubted that there were many who could get such a passionate feeling from her.
“I will take your warning to heart. But I shall let you know now that I have no intention of causing your friend any harm, mental, physical, or emotionally. Consider our deal as a way to pull a shy female from her shell.” He replied with a serious tone. “We will come to an understanding and it will be up to her if she wants more then a one night stand.” He finished off before getting up to help clean up their supper.
