It was clear Laura wasn’t herself. Anyone could see that. Pouring powder in her mouth only confirmed Carmilla’s suspicions further. Thankfully Mattie came back just in time passing Carm the bag of blood to give to Laura.

Mattie behind Carmilla by the door. She part wanted to leave but was too curious about Laura’s condition to go now. Not when things were getting interesting. She watched Carmilla slowly approach the girl and offer out the bag of blood.

“Here.” Carm flashed a look back at Mattie as she closed the gap between herself and Laura. “You need this.” She’d just gotten close enough when LaF came into the room, ignoring Mattie like she wasn’t even there.

Carm had spent the time slowly approaching Laura, keeping her away from Mattie and trying not to make sudden movements considering she wasn’t herself at the moment, and LaF simply walked in casually and headed straight for her. “So what’s the emergency? Why is she here? What’s going on?” LaF peered their head over Laura’s shoulder and noticed she was clutching the tub of powder to her chest. “Um. Is this some new craving or are you really eating powder from a tub?”
