I spoke with Louis. There are rooms closer to his we can move into, even if just temporarily. I think it would be wise we stay close to him and his.

[ closer to louis would be good.

less sure about being closer to armand. ]

and do you trust all of his?

I trust Louis. I don't know the others well enough, unfortunately. But one of them is in a deep sleep, Louis says. He's defenseless. And I won't leave Louis to that alone.

armand's fledgling.

i don't like the way he talks.

[ it's not...

serious. not really. armand has only ever been polite, reasonable. but he plays with words. he's sly about what he says, and not directly honest.

and he'd called it the hunt, this game he plays with humans, and biting.

it made dani uncomfortable. that's all it is. and that doesn't really matter, it's not a real threat. he probably wouldn't think anything of it at all if he hadn't grown up the way he did.

no. it doesn't really matter. ]

but i trust louis
and i trust you.
do you want to move now?

He talks strangely. I don't disagree. It's why I have to trust Louis on this one. But if it weren't for Louis, I don't think I'd risk it at this stage. He hasn't said anything inappropriate to you, has he? ( he does try to stalk Dani, but he can't be everywhere. )

it's more about what he doesn't say. i don't like that he wanted volunteers for biting, for louis' birthday, but didn't say so. he said he'd tell them when it was right for them to know, but i think that time is when they're volunteering.

he said that's not elegant.
then something about how it's all part of the hunt.

[ even speaking it aloud again makes his fingers twitch. ]

louis wouldn't hurt anyone. wouldn't touch them unless they were alright with it. i know that. so it doesn't matter really.

i just don't like that he said it. or how he went about it.

( hmm. he does see why that would make Dani uncomfortable. ) Some vampires really do enjoy a game when it comes to it. It's not my style, but I am sorry you witnessed it.

and there was that feast.

[ the one dani had absconded from before he'd witnessed how bad it actually got. he doesn't even know the extent of what happened that night. ]

he was at the centre of it

i don't know. i'm being stupid, most likely. letting my past influence what i think of him. which isn't fair to him.

louis trusts him. i should trust him.

It's okay to not be comfortable with everything about vampires.

i know.

but i do trust louis. i like him. being closer to him would be good.

perhaps i need more human friends.

It couldn't hurt. Louis has said it's best we not approach their rooms, though. Armand is protective right now. Which I understand. No need to test his limits.

[ then he definitely doesn't want to go. ]

but he agrees we should be nearby?

Temporarily. So that we might better defend each other.

alright.
we can go when you're ready.

Soon. We don't need to move all our things, either.

we should take them, in case you want to make it permanent

I'm not certain Armand is fond of me and would like me close long-term.

as you say, then.

perhaps he doesn't think you're elegant.

I've been sleeping on dirt and in pubs for thirty years. My graces have slipped.

i like the dirt.

honesty is your best quality.

Is it? I've not heard that before.

remember those early days, when we argued all the time. you promised you wouldn't bite unless i asked you.

you kept that promise. and all the others. you twist the truth sometimes, but you're no liar.

it's the first thing i liked about you.

well.

second.

my dick was the first, wasn't it?

close.

your chest. it's impressive, ask anyone.

ah, fair. i have heard i have nice tits.
