She nods.  "Mr. Giles said vampires are always evil.  If they were just - humans - I wouldn't have believed him, but this is my first experience with supernatural stuff, I don't know what's - reasonable, and what's not."

"My kind of demon is often aggressive, but not always evil. I - don't know about many others, just how they are in combat."

"I mean, you could say that about humans, honestly, depending on how you count often.  We're... gonna try to figure out what he's wrong about and what he's right about and - how we can help."

"That's a good goal. It's something I'd like to help with - though I think I want to help my own people, too. There's been a lot of chaos lately..."

She nods.  "I'll understand if you don't want Mr. Giles to know about you until we've sussed him out some more, but we'll keep you posted."

"Thanks."

To Nausicaa: "We should probably go talk to Tag before lunch is over, if we're gonna bring him along."

"Good point." She says bye to Gaara, confirms the demon doesn't want them outright outing her to Giles yet, and then turns to Kaylee. "Lead the way?"

She leads them back inside to Tag's table.

"Hey, Kay, Nausicaa."

"Hey Tag! So uh - " Crap she doesn't know him as well how does she open this... "You know the suspicious barbecue fork gangs that seemed really wiggy to me?"

(She checked before heading over no one's going to overhear enough of this to piece together what they're actually talking about. Loud cafeterias have their advantages.)

"Yep."

"So how out there an explanation are you willing to entertain, because I am astoundingly talented at sticking my nose where it doesn't belong and some stuff's come to light."

"...kid, tell me you didn't infiltrate a barbecue fork gang."

"Nope! Not even I'm that fast. And that'd be kind of hard - especially since uh it looks like it's a lot of individuals maybe, and it's noooooot a weird barbecue fork fetish."

"Individuals - where's this going?"

" - So the dude who attacked Kaylee tried to bite her and had fangs, and I got into a fist fight with someone who can control sand last night, and I've gotten a lot of confirmation that something supernatural is happening."

"Fangs, like..."

He pantomimes vampire fangs, with two fingers in front of his mouth.

"Like the tines of the barbecue fork are actually, human canines.  Because they're vampires.  Is that what you're getting at."

" - Um, full disclosure, I didn't see fangs, but I didn't - not see fangs, if you know what I mean?  But he did definitely, want, to, bite me."  It's still a bit weird and uncomfortable to talk about.  "And I did see the controlling sand.  - Well, she turned into sand - I mean, a bunch of sand turned into her."

"Yeah. Sand girl confirmed she knows vampires exist, though I haven't found any who'll sit still to answer my questions. Also the weird librarian said vampires exist, but I've been trying to confirm everything on my own."

"Is there a reason I don't know about that looking for... vampires... who bite people, and drink their blood..."

(He rubs his forehead and mutters something that sounds like Jesus Christ.)

"...isn't a really dumb idea?

"...I might have superpowers? Which uh I can demonstrate not here."

"I think I wanna see the superpowers.  ...I think I also wanna see the girl who turns into sand, unless she's also gonna try to drink my blood."

"She won't. She's polite. Not sure we have time left in lunch... After school work?"

"She's polite, okay.  Yeah, let's meet up after school.  Try not to - get killed by fuckin' vampires before then, I guess."
