[ Even if Richie answered yes, Seth wasn't going to allow it. He doesn't know what happens if Richie goes too long without feeding and he isn't interested in finding out. Seth pushes Richie back two steps into what might be a broom closet or might be for luggage. Either way, it's the right size to fit Richie in. ]
Now shut up and get your fangs out.
[ At which point Seth just slams the door. They're committed. This is how it's going to be.
It's actually easier to lure an unsuspecting passerby on the airship than it had been in Montgomery. Lexa was right about the grief giving them leverage; the servant Seth accosts practically leaps into action before Seth finishes his near-hysterical solicitation of help. The story's flimsy, but the alien isn't bothering to check him on it. When they get the closet, Seth shoves their mark (it has to be a mark, not a victim, it has to be.) in, then closes the door behind the three of them. ]
