Once you've made it down the stairs, Dipper has already secured the camera, being careful to keep it out of his sister's reach. You smile at his achievement, nodding in thanks. You walk towards him and into the kitchen to see Stan reading the newspaper. He makes no attempt to hide his surprise at your being here.
"Kids?" He questions in his loud, gruff voice, "is this another one of your friends, you've brought home?"
"Yeah, Grunkle Stan, she's mine--" Dipper winces, regretting how he'd phrased that. You look over, smiling at him and assuring him that it's okay. Stan makes a sound if acknowledgement.
"You got a name, kid?" You tell Stan your name, and your not entirely sure if he'll make any effort to remember it, but you don't mind. "What's with the eye patch?" You almost flinch at his mention of it, bringing back memories of what's hidden beneath it.
"You, uh, don't want to know..." Stan raises his eyebrows at you before wordlessly turning back to the paper. It's not a lie. It's suggestive of something more, but not a lie. You know that Stan won't like anything that has to do with Bill, and especially won't like his niece and nephew hanging around someone with any relations to him.
Dipper gives the camera to Stan, instructing him not to let Mabel have it, but he takes it back, realizing that Stan may not be the best choice for this task. Mabel tries again to get it back, trying to swipe it away, but Dipper dodges her hand, batting it away.
You smile before remembering that you have one of Mabel's sweaters on. You suddenly crave the thought of being back in your tailcoat. You announce to Dipper and Mabel that you're going to get changed, and you run back up the stairs.
Once you're in the bathroom, you see that your hair is a mess. You run your fingers through it (if your hair is long enough, your fingers get caught and you have you pause for a second to get them free again). You sigh, as this helps very little.
You glance at the counter and see Dipper's trademark hat laying there, abandoned in Bill's little takeover. You make a mental note to grab it for him before you leave. You pull off Mabel's sweater and yank your tailcoat on. As you adjust it while looking in the mirror, you jump. Someone's standing behind you. You spin around to face them, but nobody's there. You face the mirror again, seeing them once more. It's Bill. Human Bill. You glare at his reflection. He smiles evilly in return. With your tailcoat on now, you leave the bathroom with Dipper's hat in hand, wanting to be away from Bill.
