game sifting.

[enfant]

I don't want to be anywhere without Louis. Who are these new little monsters you keep trying to drum out of the woodwork so that we might appear en masse? New vampires, my people who have never known us that you think will hold me pacified with their mere presence. Children by comparison.

I shall tell you a secret; if you force me into their company, I will kill them and I will enjoy it.

I do not believe I have ever heard a vampire be so straightforward with their threats before.

It is somewhat refreshing.

[enfant]

Shall I simper for you? I would, if I were not tired of pandering to the imaginations of others.

[carriesparasol]

You need not do anything of the sort for my sake. I only meant that in my experience vampires prefer a less direct approach.

[of_valhalla]

*.........Creepy kid.*

Not very social, are you.

[enfant]

One of my fathers would agree.

[carriesparasol]

You have more than one?

[enfant]

Aren't I?

[enfant]

Only one that counts, to be precise.

[carriesparasol]

Might I ask what makes one count and the other not?

[enfant]

One who knows nothing cannot expect to force his company on another for long. That's just ego. And so I had two fathers, but now I have one by virtue of his own nature.

He would not want me to talk about him.

[carriesparasol]

Certainly. I would not wish for you to upset him.

I appreciate your honesty however. It is a topic I am quite interested in at the moment.

[enfant]

Why so?

[carriesparasol]

When the child I am carrying is born, they will in a sense, have two fathers. I am unsure what affect this will have on the child.

[enfant]

Why will they? How did it feel, consummating a baby?

[carriesparasol]

Due to certain abilities the child will have, it is safer for us all if they were adopted by a friend. So they will have an adoptive father and their birth father.

As for your second question, that is a very private matter of which I will not discuss.

[enfant]

My father says that making love feels like the pale shadow of killing. Would you say that is true, at least?

[carriesparasol]

I would not.

[enfant]

It sounds very dull. He also said it was over fast, which I'm inclined to believe.

[carriesparasol]

Now that, I believe depends on the time and the place.

And that is all I shall say on the matter.

[enfant]

Pardon me, madame, I did not mean to make you uncomfortable.

[carriesparasol]

Uncomfortable? No. I simply wish to adhere to topics which are approved in polite conversation.

Especially when speaking with someone of whom I am unsure of their exact age.

[enfant]

But now you are the one being impolite, ladies never reveal their age.

[carriesparasol]

Ah, but I never did inquire of your age. I simply stated it was a factor I did not know.

Couldn't resist.

[agodintheopen]

You haven't changed.

[ohlouie]

Claudia.

[ His tone is light, trying to hide his surprise at seeing the other vampire. Been a few years since he'd laid eyes on her. That's for sure.]
