[ Helen gave a small smile to it, letting Jenna keep that thought (she didn't need to know it all) ]

Never have I ever known someone take knowing that fact so well. [ Jenna may have had the advantage of knowing of vampires in her world but even those in her world whom were familiar with abnormals? Didn't always react so calmly ]

[secretshame]

[ jenna's eyebrows shoot up as she takes another sip... more like a gulp, but eh. ]

What, do they usually freak out about it?

[ after the vampire talks and knowing what she knows about elena's parents and the gilberts and the whole mystic falls vampire crap... and then spending a year in taxon? jenna's getting used to weird things happening. ]

[longaevus]

I can't quite decide whether 'freak out' is a little exaggerated or entirely true. I suppose it depends on quite whom I've told. [ Which was a very small number - through the need for privacy on herself and her work but also because of not wishing to hear those reactions. Enough was enough ]

[secretshame]

[ jenna gives a small laugh, leaning on her arm and the chair's arm. ]

Yeah, some people take things better than others. [ beat. ] When Elena told me about vampires, I didn't take it well, but after almost a year here? I think I can handle a lot more now.

[longaevus]

I was surprised myself when I found out about it, although vampires were a little further down the line. [ And thankfully she'd had a guiding hand into that world ]

I've never regretted knowing about it.

[secretshame]

Yeah, I just wish I'd known sooner.

[ it's time for her to frown at her glass for a second, like it's done her some horrible misdeed. ]

Okay, either this is some strong wine or we've been at this a while... or we've been making each other drink a lot.

[ guess who's starting to feel it? this one. ]

[longaevus]

The latter. [ Although when Helen turned her head to look at the clock? It had been a little while also ]

It's probably a good idea to stop. [ As for Helen she knows that it's there but even with her consumption? She's still got a little while to go before it really affects her ]

[secretshame]

And just when we were getting started. [ teasing. ] It was a really good way to pass the time, even if you're not showing it as much as I am. [ more teasing. ]

[longaevus]

I've had a longer time to build up a tolerance. [ Which was true, but only part of the explanation. Having a vampire for a college buddy and vampiric properties in your blood... well ]

[secretshame]

[ jenna just gives her a look like "are you sure that's all it is?" before downing the rest of her glass. ]

Either way, this was the best game I've had in a long time. Thanks for playing. [ she pauses for a moment, her grin fading just a little in the wake of alcohol induced seriousness... and the attempt at regrouping the brain power needed for such seriousness. ]

And thanks. For trusting me enough for it.

[longaevus]

[ Helen ignores that look, knowing exactly what Jenna was asking. She may have told her a big truth but she wasn't going to tell her everything with it ]

You're welcome, and it was enjoyable. [ She'd learned a lot too ]

[secretshame]

[ another time, another day. jenna won't pry. she will, however, rub her temple a little. ]

I think I'm gonna just hang out here for a bit, until this buzz wears off. That was definitely the most I've had to drink so quickly in a really long time. It's a good thing Kelly's not here or she'd be making fun of me.
