She smirked watching him shove an entire biscuit in his mouth, she hoped he wouldn't choke
If he'd let her she'd follow him around like a little lost puppy, but they both had things to do, and he probably didn't want her hanging over his shoulder right? Still, she didn't want him to leave...
"Well, you should touch base with me.... so Charming doesn't flip out anymore" She smiled sheepishly," , she hoped she didn't sound as desperate as she thought she did in that moment," And please call me if you need help, alright?"

"I will do...if I need help..." He put a hand over his. He opened his mouth to say more, to thank her for everything she had done in the past 24 hours... and even BEYOND, but customers were starting to file in. He retracted his hand. "I'll... I'll call you tonight."
They unfortunately had to leave it at that for the time being.
Whale went back to the library later that day, checked out the books he had been perusing, now determined to to give them a thorough once over AGAIN, and then he headed to the convent. Nova was kind enough to help him with what he was looking for, though he was sketchy with her on the details on WHY he needed them. He did, however, make a point to meet with The Blue Fairy and Cornelius, making them aware of the situation. Blue agreed that causing mass hysteria would not do anything for the town, but that the convent would do what they could to make the town safer.
When he pulled into his apartment lot, everything seemed to be marked off with caution tape. He asked a neighbor watching what was going on.
"The gas company has found a leak from a main gas line." The woman answered. "They're telling the residents to seek alternate shelter for safety purposes... just for the next 24 hours." She shook her head. "Said some kind of animal must have clawed the pipe open... that a load of croak? What kind of creature can pry back steal pipe???"
What INDEED. Whale was clutching at his wheel so tight that his knuckles were turning white. He thanked the woman, jaw tensed, and pulled out of the parking lot.
Looked like he was sleeping on a gurney tonight...he'd done it before. But then he realized that the hospital was a public domain...
Well... shit...
He turned his car around to head back towards town. It was only 3, but the day had been very overcast... an early evening was sure to follow eventually.

"Okay, great David... yeah, I'll give him another call," She hung up, not that she didn't mind calling Victor- in fact she was planning on doing it any way, but really.... less and less of her breaks were spent actually sitting and enjoying not having to do what people told her to do.
Red dialed again, but Victors number now, he was off work now right? She didn't have a clue how his hours worked- except she knew he worked A LOT.
"Hello, Victor?"

"Ruby." There was far too much relief in his voice as he heard hers. "I..." He laughed. "I guess I'm pretty much homeless for the next day or so." He didn't get into the details, that he was sure it was his Vampire stalker arranging all this upheaval. "I don't suppose the Inn has a room available? I saw a lot of residents from my apartment complex heading that way."
Really, staying over with Red again, even on the uncomfortable couch bed sounded appealing at this point. But he didn't want to push it... appearing... creepy. He would do things properly this time; not be such a burden on Red.

"What?" well that explained a lot, she'd been working her tail off trying to keep up with all these customers- she was sure one or teo of them tried to tell her what had happened but she hardly had ears to hear, all she knew was that a lot of them were staying in the Inn as well," Well, there might be one or two left... but Victor, if ... if you want you can stay with me again"
God, she probably sounded like that crazy college kid from 'The Roommate', she almost regretted saying it," I mean, if you're... comfortable with that.... and that way you don't have to shell out any money for it..."

Whale chuckled. "I actually have no qualms about sleeping with you again." He said, then realized how it came out. "...I mean... sleeping in the same ROOM as you.. again... Roomie..." He tapped the phone against his forehead, wincing. Really? Whale? COULD you sound any creeper?? He put the phone back to his ear. "But I'll pay you... I feel like I shouldn't be such a free-loader for the second night in a row. Or how about I bring dinner? Maybe something that you don't usually have at the diner? Chinese? Indian? Anything you want."

Ruby laughed and grinned, not that he could see that OR the intense blush on her face," Dinner sounds great, I love either one.... but if you go with Chinese you should get extra wontons. Otherwise, I'll see you tonight- I'll even buy new nail polish since I didn't get the chance last time" She teased

Whale grinned. "Okay... I just have to pick up a few more things, and then I'll see you after work." He had to go buy some clothes that DIDN'T smell like gas... and probably a toothbrush.

Ruby said her goodbye and hung up.
That evening after her shift ended at the diner, Ruby spent a large portion of her time cleaning up her loft and then getting herself ready. Meticulously preening up until she heard the knock at the door, which made her jump. She stood and went to get the door

The door opened, and Whale held up the Chinese food. It was still early evening, but it would be dark soon.
"I come bearing gifts..." he said, coming into the room and putting his stuff down on a a chair while Ruby accepted the food. "...And some protection." Ruby made a noise at that. He looked up to see a devilish smile, despite her reddening cheeks. Whale's own cheeks were feeling hot, but he let out an awkward laugh. He pulled out a nail, hammer, and iron crucifix. "The kind against VAMPIRES."
He stalked over to the window, a leather satchel slung over his shoulders. "You don't mind if I hang one of these up, do you?" He didn't think she would mind... but it was still her loft. But he would feel so much better if she was protected, though. And, well,...HIMSELF too....

"Sure, go ahead," Ruby opened the bag and grinned, the food smelled amazing.
The room was all made up with the couch pulled out and made. Ruby went over and set the bag on the little table beside the bed and went over to the fridge, grabbing a few drinks," How'd your day go, I see you were successful in getting protection"

Whale slid out her window and onto the roof's surface as he set about nailing a cross right above it.
"Yeah, Blue was helpful." Whale said, blonde brows furrowed with focus as he set about his task. His white t-shirt hiked up slightly as he reached, exposing a little bit of his moderately fit stomach. "She doesn't want to cause mass panic with news of a Vampire around Storybrooke." Whale then took a flask of holy water and thoroughly doused the frame of the window. He took some strands of garlic and hung them on either side of the window outside. "I don't know if that is right... I mean, the people have the RIGHT to know what they are up against... but at least she and the other fairies are taking measures to make every residency more protected."

Ruby pulled out a few drinks and set them next to the dinner,"I S'pose... we don't want a huge angry mob setting things on fire trying to find him.... but still" She sighed," Dracula is a little different I'd think.... he obviously doesn't have a problem hurting people, and if people don't know he's out there they're more likely to be a victim"
This probably wasn't a topic they wanted to dwell on too long. She cleared her throat and worked up a smile," Still, I'm glad your here, and we're vampire proof" Ruby took a seat on the hide-a-bed and watched him thoroughly put up all of the anti-vampire supplies... and his toned muscles flex a little in him doing so...

Whale could feel a small breeze on the sliver of his exposed stomach. He straightened out and tugged down on his shirt, and noticed that Ruby looked slightly disappointed in that small action, biting her full lower lips. Whale grinned to himself, coming back in through the window.
"Almost..." He said. Whale latched the window shut, draping a cross necklace over it so it was fully visible through the window... and added some more garlic for extra measure. He did the same to the other, smaller windows about the room. "THERE. All safe. Sorry about the garlic smell. But..." He then rummaged through the bag, pulling out wooden stakes, fishing for something....
He finally pulled out the can of febreeze victoriously. He gave the room a few shots, trying to defuse the strong odor at least in their area.

Ruby giggled and put her hands over her heart dramatically,"My hero!"
She laid back against the back of the couch was she dug through the bag- immeadiately finding the extra wontons,"Mmmm... this smells so good...."
