She hadn't taken enough for that, nor had she shared so much as a drop of her own blood. Really, she wasn't so sure he could be turned, since he wasn't a normal sort of human. But it wasn't something she wanted to test. "I suppose that's true..." This doctor would certainly know better than she would. When her words were parroted back to her she had to bite back a sigh. She couldn't very well say Gambit had been lightheaded and weak because she drank his blood. Blood... hm. Her gaze briefly went to that cut she could see above McCoy's brow; it might not have been bleeding but it wouldn't take much. Selene closed her eyes a moment and mentally shook herself. Focus. "I haven't exactly dealt with a lot of sick people over my lifetime so I'm not really quick to classify people as such. And since the birds seemed to have pecked him apart rather well I assumed that was the cause for his weakness." There, truth! Even if it wasn't the whole truth, but close enough. This whole situation was really starting to frustrate her.
