He takes it, with a raised eyebrow. "Did you eat today?" he asks, glancing at Matt with no more double entendre than would be expected of him.

...which being Sadde is still a fair amount, granted.

"I grabbed a deer about noon since we still don't have anything major worked out."

"Oh, so you didn't decide to experiment with how long you could go without eating."

"Nnnot right now especially since I was walking into school this morning – I also ate last night – and we're planning on going on a hospital visit." Pause. "I can do it sometime soon? Ish?"

"Yeah, fair enough. Still wanna see you try to pickpocket me with me really really not noticing, though."

"Well I'll get around to it sometime when you're focusing less on 'he's just about to pickpocket me because I told him to' or whatever."

"That's what I'd had originally in mind," he shrugs. "You got any idea when the next shipment of blood bags is?"

"'Fraid not. Didn't see anything while I was at the hospital, don't think they do it daily but they probably do it more frequently than monthly and I doubt it but it could be on demand, so, there might not even be a neat schedule."

"Hmm... Maybe we should stalk it to figure it out."

"Yeah, it's probably a good idea to do some 'research' before diving into things."

"And if it happens during the day that's still a bit of a problem."

"It's not totally out in the open around the hospital," he says, "but yeah."

"Well we have our plan, we'll stick by it. So. What do we do now?"

"We-ell, I remembered that we totally forgot about the blood yesterday. So I checked on it. Doesn't seem to have congealed or anything, like, at all."

"...what, really? None of it?"

"My blood seems to just not do that, apparently."

"Well maybe it does that a thousand times slower or something."

"Okay, maybe, but it doesn't seem to do it at anywhere near human rates anyway."

"Yeah. We shouldn't worry, then, I guess."

"Iiin the meantime I have been looking at sign language! Haven't gotten 'round to going swimming yet, though, nor testing the thresholds of any abandoned buildings – I'm not sure I even know any nearby, really?"

"This is a very small town."

"What counts as abandoned?"

"We have no idea if it even matters whether a building's abandoned or not – the main data we have is that I can't walk into Sadde's house, I can walk into my house fine, the hospital and the school were fine. So. Anything that you might think would be abandoned counts as abandoned for the purposes of this test, probably – if people haven't been there in a month, or it's falling into disrepair, or they only visit once every two weeks maybe?"

"Well my parents own a couple of derelict buildings one town over..."

"… Those could work for a test, yeah."
