I'm here to get insurance in order to achieve a goal of mine. I'm mostly certain that it will succeed but knowing that it will succeed is always preferred.
I suppose I’m here for the same... though I imagine many could say that, to such a vague answer.
[she grins, teasingly.]
We come from different worlds. Do you know what that means? [a pause, and she’ll just continue.] It means that what you want cannot possibly be in conflict with what I want.
[ sometimes you just wanna be vague!!! or. need to be vague for one reason or another. ]
Maybe so, but we're all competition against one another for the end result.
[ but, still, she's right about that. it isn't as though sharing their plans to one another actually means anything in the long run and on the grand scheme of things. ]
I just want the insurance to know that I'll be able to take out a menace that should have been killed long ago.
Are we competing? Our hosts were awfully unclear about the details. I'd like to think it's possible for both of us to get what we want. But... yes, that does paint a clearer picture.
[still holding his hand, she threads her fingers between his.]
I wouldn't hold my breath regarding multiple people being able to get their wishes.
[ she's allowed this, but, unfortunately, since law nearly isn't drunk enough for this— ]
I'd like to learn more about you. [ but will be boozed up enough to hold her hands to his lips for a quick kiss to the back of her hand. ] My knowledge of vampires is only what's through stories and I wonder how much of that is nonsense.
[ she can take that how ever she wishes to take it, law won't clarify since she's offering him a bit of insight to who she is. nice. truly, though, he's not saying anything explicitly mean or ill-meaning. ]
To get the potential silliness out of the way—garlic. Is that something effective against you?
Think what you will, but I'm not in the business of harming anyone if I can help it.
[ something something hippocratic oath but one piece version. he'll get a little more serious/sober for this bit. still, holding onto her hand as a good ""gentleman"" would. though, another kiss to her hand, knuckles specifically. ]
To prove that point, here's a more important one coming from a doctor's perspective of everyone's well-being, how are you getting by with your meals?
[Her tone suggests she's not particularly bothered about whether he is or not. The person in question was already seen at the first trial with a vampire bite on his neck, so there's probably no point in hiding it anyway.]
[lenore is beaming, she is absolutely happy about this]
Perhaps at a later time, then? I think you're going to need all of your blood tonight, at the rate you've been going. [looking at his cup... how many have you had, law]
[ how many HAS he had is a very good question. it's more than one and less than the required amount to have him pass the fuck out so, there's the answer there. nevertheless to lenore he just gives her a nod.
perhaps he could have thought it through a bit more, but no, in some aspects, it's probably better this way. ]

[and she's looking very pleased with that hand-kiss :)]
... Of course, I would be happy to tell you about myself, or my kind. Was there anything in particular you want to know?

[her tone is still playful, at least, and she doesn't sound too offended.]
Well... I suppose I can give you this one for free. Or perhaps, in exchange for that kiss just now?
... That one's pretty much nonsense. Easy to smell from afar, too. Good way to make a vampire mad, though.

However... so far, one person has been obliging, and I've been able to avoid significant discomfort, thanks to him.

My roommate. Steven.
no subject
[ but it checks out. at least it means that it'll be, for the most part, consistent on his person for future things. ]
On the off chance that something might happen to him, do you have anyone in mind as a back-up?
no subject
...I also realize it isn't good for Steven if I rely on him too much for this. He's strong, but the body does need time to replenish itself.
no subject
[ they have healing pods, sure, but is that really the best way for steven to constantly deal with this? ]

It would be irresponsible to turn you down, and I'll trust that you wouldn't let yourself go too far.

Just message me and we can arrange for a meeting.
