Ned has not been sleeping very soundly, these past few days. He wakes up instantly at Veronica's touch. It's probably a sign of just how much Ned has been through in the past few days that, when he opens his eyes to see a young girl with fangs looming over him, saying she is going to feed on him, his reaction is surprise rather than complete terror.

Before Veronica can move in any closer he holds a hand up between them, talking very rapidly, "Hi Veronica I'm Ned it's nice to meet you do you mind holding on a minute before you do that?" Hey, it's worth a shot, at least this one introduced herself and give him some warning before chomping down. He doesn't pause for a response, though, wanting to get all this out now in case she's not really in a patient mood, "Just- just two things. I'm okay with you vamping on me because I've got weird healing powers right now anyway but don't take too much okay? And also you should probably know there's a significant likelihood my blood is going to make you wasted because it kind of already did exactly that to the last vampire that came by."

Yeah, she heard him right, the last vampire. Because apparently this is a thing he does, now.
