"....." Darrel was silent for a moment, taking that in.
"...I get the feeling death is something that this magic doesn't directly cause, but doesn't need to." he said.
"This is sensory deprivation." he went on. "It can cause people to do... drastic things, if it is sudden enough." he lamented quietly.
"Now, more than ever, we need to keep each other close. You're definitely right about that." he told her.
"But I'll be as careful as I can allow myself to be." he then assured the Fyrane.
"And I'll protect Sammy as well." he added.

"I'll do my best to keep Evan alive." Alice said.
"And keep Luke... well, as calm as I can." She added with a light sigh.
"Anyway, you do what you need to. I ... have stuff I need to do on my end as well." She then said, being vague. She was the main one people who knew her went to, she didn't want them to know that she was affected as well.
"Just stay away from what could be called ground zero, and hopefully you'll be all right."

"All right." Darrel responded.
"Will do." he told her.
"Talk to you later, Alice." he then said. With that, the phone call ended, and he turned his attention back over towards Sammy.
"No worries." he said to her.
"Well... no more worries compounding upon worries." he clarified.
"Vicki essentially quarantined OLA to stop the spread of this." he explained. "So nothing's happened to Evan." he assured her, before pausing.
"...for better or for worse."

"Good to know." Sammy said quietly.
"Just... at least there's that, really."
Meanwhile, Alice figured that Darrell actually wouldn't call as quickly as she was sure he should, she got ahold of Kelly on his behalf. After being told that she wasn't stuck in the hoispital quarantine, Kelly agreed to head home and help out with Darrell's nerves, essentially.
About twenty minutes later, the front door opened and Kelly walked in.
"Yo! Darrell!" she called into the house as she made her way to the kitchen. She didn't know where he was, after all.

Darrel's ears perked up when he heard Kelly.
"Ah, guess Kelly's here." he said.
"Hang on a second, Sammy." he told his lover, before getting up and making his way to where he'd heard her.
"Yo!" he called back.
"Where are ya!?" he asked. "Kitchen!?"

"Where else would I be?" Kelly asked with a light laugh as she stepped into the hall from the room in question.
"Alice called me." She commented.
"said your nerves are essentially freaking out. She asked me to come back and make you up something to help." She added.
"Gimme more information that she could have hoped to. Gimme details." She added. "If I'm gonna do comfort food, I gotta know what I'm trying to do."

"Well...." Darrel muttered.
"Hard to say for me." he said.
"I've always loved a nice mac-and-cheese bake, but my sense of smell is buggered right the hell up." he told her.
"Yet, oddly, I can still TASTE just fine." he muttered.
"And Sammy... well... she really likes the combination of sweet and sour when she's stressed." he told her further.
"And being blind, alongside worrying about Evan, has stressed her out."

"I can do mac and cheese for you, definitely." Kelly said before thinking.
"Now give me more specifics pertaining to you and the whole vampire side issue you've got. I want to see if I can help quiet that down a bit, or something." She added.
"Unless you think just normal food is enough. I figure I probably gotta play with spices and herbs and such to get that to help."

"Well, I can't smell." Darrel said.
"And to a vampire, smell is what they live or die by." he told her.
"If I were a full vampire, I'd be a nervous wreck. Locked up somewhere, worried that enemies would be all around me." he explained further.
"Because... you know... smell blood, smell enemies, that sort of thing." he reasoned.
"My human side is keeping it at bay for now." he went on.
"But I don't know how to calm it down." he admitted with a sigh.

Darrel nodded in response.
"Sure thing." he replied.
He then left her to do her thing, and made his way back to where Sammy was.
"Kelly's here, in case you didn't hear her earlier." he told her.
"She's making us up some... well... comfort food, really." he said further. "See if some generic food therapy can't help us calm down a little." he went on.
"Help us both de-stress some."

"But comfort food is wonderful sometimes." She added.
"And with Kelly cookin' it should be absolutely yummy, at leat."

"But at least we have each other right now." he told her.

"Because I don't think either of us could do well without the other." She added.
"I know I would probably end up faceplanting on the floor without you to help me around at the moment."

"Trust me, I feel the same with you." Sammy commented with a light sigh.
About an hour later, Kelly walked into the room with a tray that had a couple of dishes, and a smoothie.
"Here." She said as she handed Darrell the smoothie before setting the tray on the table.
"Let them cool, but there's some food for the pair fo you." She added.
"What'd you make.... it smells like that personal caserole you know I adore." Sammy commented, which net a smirk from the elf.
"Of course it is. What else am I gonna make my cousin when she's more than a little worried about her twin?" Kelly asked in response.
"Darrell, the smoothie has a mix of things that... may not agree with you. If you can't drink it, don't. It'll either do a world fo good in suppressing the vampirice aspects for you, or will do a world of bad." She told him simply.
"I have no idea which it will be, but just be forewarned, hey?"

Darrel looked at the smoothie, and quirked an eyebrow.
"Really." he said.
"Huh." he muttered.
"Well, I've never been one to avoid taking unnecessary risks." he chuckled.
"Besides, half of me REALLY needs to calm down." he went on.
"The longer I try to ignore it, the worse it'll get when it inevitably gets too strong." he sighed.
"And I'm sure this all smells delightful." he then added, a bit of sadness to his tone.

Sammy just laughed.
"Actually, the smoothie has no scent, it's a vanilla base." Kelly commented, "and the mac and cheese is kinda being drowned out by the casserole I made Sammy." She added with a laugh.
"Eh heh... sorry..." Sammy commented.
"Eh, no worries. They don't mix the best, but it's not revolting." Kelly said with a shrug.
"Darrell... dig in. I hope the smoothie helps, at least."

Darrel looked at the food, before taking a bite of the mac and cheese.
"Yep." he said.
"Tastes absolutely wonderful." he told her.
"Which is why this is so... weird and unnerving. Generally, when your sense of smell is on the wonk, it affects your sense of taste. But my taste is still just fine. As this mac and cheese proves." he continued.
"By the way, love the addition of the sage in it." he told Kelly.
With that, he grabbed the smoothie, and took a drink of it. He held it in his mouth a bit, seemed to freeze for a moment, and then swallowed it quickly.

"Learned that trick from Luke, actually. Dad never did the sage, he said shouldn't expand beyond the usual." Kelly said with a laugh.
"He liked 'traditional' mac and cheese though. It was one thing he didn't like to 'ritz up', so to speak." She then paused a moment.
