Surely this demonstrates poor judgment on your part.

Why this? Why now? I admit, normally, I may be more thankful that you've chosen to pay me a visit after such years, fleeting as they might have been, but certainly not when you've become so - so ruthless. You seek to do nothing but torment me, it seems. To curse me again with that affliction - and so soon after she was taken from me. Don't you think I've paid enough for my past sins? That my past state and self were enough of a prison?

She'd forgiven me. We'd made peace. [ barnabas i swear if you monologue about angelique - ] We could have had a life together before that, too, was ripped from me; a cruel irony after Josette. Don't force me to start over like this.

Such is the price of being paired with a writer, I'm afraid. Generally, it seems that they're interested in testing our limits.

Vampires, of course, tend to be special cases in that regard. Since they don't have the limit of mortality, writers tend to be more...creative in their methods to push you to the brink.

For what it's worth, you have my condolences.

Oh? And who, might I ask, said anything about vampires?
