Rayne blinked at the question, before her lips quirked and she howled in laughter, her head thrown back and her laugh... Surprisingly as un-vampire as any you might imagine. It was the full blown belly laugh of amusement given life, till she shook her head and spoke fondly.
"Oh, lil' darling. Its a big world out there and while the Red, White, Black or whatever color of the week they wanna be think they hold a monopoly? They're dead wrong. That said! I formally invite you both into my home. I ask only that you both keep to the rules of hospitality as my guests and if you so wish to leave, to do so in peace. Now c'mon."
She smiled and turned her back, perfectly at ease as she spoke.
"I got some chili from earlier I can heat up and maybe y'all can tell me how in the hell you got ol' Puff the Magic Blowhard to come after you both."
She headed for the ranch house and Samson followed, stubby tail wagging and altogether, both making the oddest looking picture.
Joren snarled.
"I don't trust vampires. We'll take our chances elsewhere."
A distance away, Rayne stopped and called out.
"Thats your choice boy. What about you darling? Adverse to breaking bread with someone like me?"
The choice was hers.... Either the harsh safety of the White Council and all she was familiar.... Or the unknown as Rayne wordlessly now extended her hand.
