Red came in through the Diner's doors, turning on the overhead lights... only to find Granny sitting in a booth, drinking a coffee. Waiting.
"Well, well, WELL...." Granny sad flatly. She was about to say something snarky to her granddaughter... but one look at Whale and she frowned. "Sonny, you look like HELL..."

"Oh, um, Hi Granny" Red smiled sheepishly as she walked in," you've met Dr. Whale right? Of course, he's been here a before.... um..."
She looked at Whale," why don't you take a seat and I'll get you some Coffee, Black right?"

"A little late to be serving customers..." Granny stated, monotone. She stirred the cream in her coffee with a spoon. "We CLOSE at 11:00pm sharp." She tapped the the spoon on the edge of the mug before setting on a napkin.
Red stood, as if waiting for permission. Granny sighed and then took a sip. "I just made a fresh pot." She motioned with her head towards the coffee maker.
She then eyed Whale suspiciously.

Whale felt like he should try and smooth things over. He smiled broadly.
"I thank you, Mrs. Lucas. You know... I just LOVE-"

"Save it..." Granny muttered, taking another sip.

Red had hurried over to the coffee pot and found a mug from the cupboard.
Oh God, she had been waiting for her, now she's probably thinking she was sleeping around with him... not that it mattered did it? No, it did... dammit! What was she going to say?? And with this whole 'Marking' thing, would she understand? Hopefully.... Red wasn't sure how much longer Victor could hold out....
Red put on a smile and brought over his coffee," Alright... let me know if you need anymore..." She looked at Granny," I'm sorry I've been out so late... I didn't think you'd wait up for me honestly..."

"I wait up for you EVERY NIGHT when you don't come home at a decent hour, Red." Granny retorted. "I just had a hankering for a diner brew and LO AND BEHOLD, here comes my granddaughter, toting the town womanizer, coming in for a cup as well."

"Granny please, It's not like that..." Red normally would have been angry and said something just as fiery right back, but tonight she just couldn't find the same fight she usually had,"...look, remember when I had to leave... and I told you someone might be in trouble.... this is... well this is the guy"
She took a breath," I've done a pretty crappy job keeping you up to speed, and I'm sorry, I really am.... but... I actually need your help now..."

"We both do." Whale added, unaware as his hand clasped one of her's on top of the table. It did not go unnoticed by Granny. He almost withdrew it, but Red held firm.

Granny narrowed her eyes at their joint hands and then looked up at Red. Her granddaughter used to be a serial dater... but since the curse had been alleviated, Red had become more like her old self...more reserved. Granny was starting to believe that Red had a sincere problem, but old habits died hard, and the old woman had to AT LEAST rule out one thing...
She put her head in a hand. "Oh gods, you're pregnant...." she breathed. "I told you...I TOLD YOU... to at LEAST use some common sense, girl! And YOU..." She turned towards Whale. "Where do YOU get off taking advantage of some young girl, huh? The glory of saving lives daily NOT enough for yah???"
As soon as the young couple spoke up, stammering and flustered, REFUTING that possibility, Granny just chuckled. Partially in relief... but also at how the blonde haired kid's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Red had turned a colour that resembled her cloak,"Um n-no, Granny I promise I'm not- um, I-I" she cleared her throat Nd ran her fingers through her hair.
"No, see, Dr Whale was bitten by a Vampire a couple of weeks ago and we found a way to kind of... Over-ride it, but we needed to ask about it a little more, well ask you," Red took a breath and closed her eyes,"So no, definitely not pregnant"

Granny huffed.
"Vampires?" she said skeptically... and then shrugged. "I guess we've seen stranger, here in Storybrooke. So... what is it you need to ask ME about?" The woman took a sip from her coffee.

"Well.... It has to do with the Werewolf Mark...." Red finally said,"... and I guess the question is, what does it really do? Like, details and such"

Granny nearly choked on her coffee.
Gods... Red might as well have said she was PREGNANT with that statement! The old woman had not discussed the wonders of marking in YEARS. Not since Red's MOTHER was a hot-and-heavy teenager.
"Marking?" she delayed. "Well...what do you know about it, exactly?"

"Um.... " Guessing by Granny's reaction Marking was even more 'serious' then she may heave thought...."Well, it bonds you closer to that person.... Gold... said something about it taking hold of the other persons soul? Which is apparently the part we need to... stop the vampire bite"
