I understand, Ange, and I do apologize. I'd not realized how my behavior might seem to those unaware of the underlying issue.
[ He did not intend to seem horny. Or, you know, to be caught at all. ]
Please rest assured it is seems to be nothing more than a quirk of blood magic. I seem to have developed a heightened awareness for individuals of certain blood types, which has caught me repeatedly by surprise.
[ Ange hesitates a little before she types. It shows in the way the next messages show up much more slowly. ]
Don't get me wrong. I trust you. If Ruby trusts you, then so do I. [ And it's not like Ozpin has ever done anything that bad during her long stay in the house - other than their awkward initial date-encounter, anyway. ] But I also believe this place is fully capable of messing with our minds. None of us are exempt that. This could escalate into it really messing with your mind even further.
I'm not just saying that for other people's safety, but for your own as well. If it's got to do with our new blood, then there's got to be some way to stop it.
[ He is quiet a long moment to consider this. It's... a level-headed response, he will admit.
So, for the first time, he provides actual information on the situation. ]
The issue first arose in response to a serious injury. It may simply be an overzealous instinct towards defense and healing, perhaps worsened by the season. That is why I thought it best to wait and see.
We all have a great deal to learn about living with these new changes, after all.
[ She will give Ozpin that, at least. Though it already having escalated to creepy old man looks is.. a little problematic, Ange thinks, as someone on the receiving end. ]
We also don't know how rapidly these things could go badly though. I guess I'm just trying to say-- have someone around who can check on you. [ You know, despite the whole 'kicked out of the house' situation, but surely Oz has some friends outside of the people who live here?
.. surely? ]
I don't think we can always trust our own minds and judgements in this place without second opinion. And if everyone is already losing it at this point, I really don't want to see what kind of chaos ensues if you did go full feral vampire.
Please do make that effort in that light. [ Preferably more than just an effort too, Ange thinks, considering just how badly this entire situation might escalate, knowing what Trench has been like so far.
At least she has faith in Qrow and Oscar to hound him about it. ]
You know Ruby is going to worry about you too.
[ Hence Ange's rather personal investment in this. ]
For what? Not getting mad at you, even though you were staring at me like a total creep?
[ .. maybe it's worded a little too bluntly, but of course that's just Ange's natural wall of defense arising the moment she reads any thanks that's being directed at her. ]

Qrow and Oscar seem to have volunteered for that duty wholeheartedly. I will make an effort to... treat this in a more collaborative fashion.
You do have a point: I should hate to see what a more dramatic response would look like.

Good luck out there. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
