"No, actually," Natari told Valerie with a polite yet icy smile that came off brittle.
"I would never ask such impolite questions had I not been asked such impolite questions first. It seems that you all, like everyone else, do not enjoy being on the other end of such. Completely understandable I must say," she concluded, tone and expression suddenly nearly sympathetic.

Hell but she was going to get herself killed if she weren't careful but what else could she say? The Italian struggled to get her racing heart under control. There was no Oliver to protect her, and if she never saw the dashing Russian again it would be a pity. So funny if he returned from his war to find her dead instead of cooling her heals in London as she'd promised. Thoughts of her friend and her fling vanished as the weight of Klaus's gaze fell upon her. Oh how she disliked feeling terrified and defensive at once. The mix of feelings was a dangerous potion, a fact of which she was fully aware. Especially as she was completely unaccustomed to dealing with either overly much.

Valerie's words concerning finding herself another hobby caused Natari to give a small tight smile.
?
"Well as we all stand here together, I should say pot kettle," she said simply.
?
?
?
"Some could consider your presence here to bee traitorous to our kind," Klaus told the dark haired vampire coolly, at last speaking.
?
His words were as calm and dangerous, as subtly threatening without being violent as a rapier.
?
What would Dragomir do, Natari's mind wondered frantically, and she smiled nearly cheekily at Klaus. She never would have worn such a smile but the big Russian would have.
?
?
"In such a case the claim would be entirely wrong...completely unfounded just would it be were anyone to say something of you being here," she shot back casually.
?
?
"Ah yes but I could kill everyone here without exerting myself, and you, pretty one, won't get nearly that far," Klaus promised giving her a faintly amused smile, tone just as calm as it had been.
?
He did not threaten so much as he stated a fact.
?
"Yes but then Dr. Van Helsing will not give you what ever it is that you came here for," Natari said confidently lifting her chin like thee proud lady she was.
?
Inside she pictured Dragomir's pleased smile and cheered for herself while keeping her exterior calm.
?
Then as her mind processed the conversation the others were having concerning a vampire werewolf possibility from the sound of it, she stated,"It sounds like a dangerous mix. A werewolf vampire could be something no one could control. I personally don't recommend it. Not from a position of true knowledge on the matter, but simply from the perspective of someone liking to remain safe."
?
?
?
She was proud of herself for not cowering behind the doctor? or even glancing his way for support. cowards would only serve to get her torn apart in here, she knew.
?
?
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
