[Yancy's less surprised when she's gone the next morning and more shocked that she doesn't return within a couple of weeks with blood on her clothes and tears on her face and she won't have to say anything, because that will say it all and he'll pull her in for a hug and keep his words to himself.
He wonders if she's killed the child and then refuses to come back because she doesn't want to deal with him telling her 'I told you so' which he would do at some point. Or if the guilt is crushing her. So he asks around about her, contacts vampires across the country and the world really, that he knows and asks them to keep an eye out for her.
It's almost a year before someone finally tells him that she's in New York City with a human child and oh Raleigh. Raleigh, you didn't. You're not.
Then she's back, ringing the doorbell and he knows it's her because he can smell the child, Jaz, from the other side of the door.]
Some of us take joy in surprises, man, [ she drawls in response, beaming like she totally didn't just pull a dick move that lasted the last several years and involved a human that she'd managed to keep alive that long.
raleigh has a rather impressive entitled brat streak in her, and sticking with it, she hikes her backpack a little more securely up onto her shoulder and takes jaz's little hand in her own, shouldering past her brother and inviting the two of them inside. ]
Knock the snow off your boots, baby, [ she adds as after thought, dropping his hand to ruffle his fluffy blond hair. but then her attention zeroes in on yancy, and that wide wide smile gets — if (in)humanly possible — all the wider.
this is raleigh, going in for a big hug. ] Hi! Hi, I missed you!
