The funny not ha-ha part is that she's one of the least prejudiced people in her universe by virtue of being the only human on chummy terms with a vampire. Okay, Yolande had been pretty open-minded, but even she increased the wards around her living quarters when she realized Con was visiting - flash stark good wards, too (go figure). And she'd admitted that if more than one sucker had been dropping by, she would have assumed the worst about her tenant, even knowing Sunshine's affinity for sunlight.
Yolande's sharper than most.
And no, it's not paranoia. One of the dubious delights of having SOF interested in you is that they tend to share more when they're trying to win you over. Granted, 'we'll all be under the dark in a century' isn't much of a rallying cry, but it made sense. What else would you tell a reluctant magic handler who seems to have a weird bead on vampires? 'Nah, it's fine, we're not in desperate need of your help or anything. Go back to making cinnamon rolls.'
"Well, if you start finding dry guys around, that might be one of our suckers at work," she says flatly. "But that's about the only hint you'll get unless you happen to meet one personally, and then you won't have much time to, uh, share your newfound knowledge."
