Ah. Mundane. You are entirely too eager.

Don't misunderstand. Your enthusiasm is quite charming. But it seems to me that this application remains, ah, a tad incomplete.

I don't think they're quite done yet telling my tale, dear. If doing this properly is truly your aim, you would do well to show a little patience. There will be opportunities in the meanwhile to explore what we two can achieve together. Museboxes, and the like. In the meantime...

You'll forgive me, but I don't think I'll be signing off on the end of that application just yet.

He and I are to be together forever.

[ That's not creepy at all, Claudia. ]

If we parted ways, I'm in little doubt as to what would happen to him. He requires a companion.

[thepriceofgold]

Is a vampire such a helpless creature? Or simply a kind one?

[enfant]

Forever is a very long time to live and breathe without someone by your side.

[thepriceofgold]

...perhaps so.

[ His expression goes curiously neutral at that point. ]

I know it's poor manners to ask her lady her age, but I confess I'm somewhat curious.

[enfant]

It is poor manners, shame on you.

[ But she glances away after playfully admonishing him, seemingly counting in her head. ]

It's been almost sixty - no, near seventy that I've lived with them.

[thepriceofgold]

Mark that I never actually asked.

[ He lifts a finger, wagging it. ]

The information was volunteered.

[ Meanwhile, he's calculating. She's long past the age of looking like a child. She'll likely look the part forever, then. A pretty, vicious little thing. ]

[enfant]

It's still bad manners to admit you wondered.

[ Cocking her head, she looks up at him. ]

And what do you think, now that you know?

[thepriceofgold]

Perhaps I'm just not a very nice man, after all.

[ Spoken softly, with a small smile. ]

I think you have neglected one very important detail, my dear.

[enfant]

[ Waiting a moment where she tries to figure it out, she shakes her head, ringlets bouncing. ]

What is that?

[thepriceofgold]

Your name.

[enfant]

My name is Claudia, as I said.

[ She just tends to leave off choosing the surname. Usually. ]

The rest ... doesn't matter.

[thepriceofgold]

So I should simply ask for the Vampire Claudia, and I will be able to find you?

[ Well, that's fair. How many child-vampires named Claudia could there be? Though considering where they are... ]

[enfant]

[ It comes of inheriting a lot of nonsense from Lestat, but she doesn't like being referred to as a vampire directly. It spurns her of the only real defense she has; surprise. ]

Claudia de Lioncourt or Claudia de Pointe du Lac, either is applicable.
