Mun is writing last tag; looking for Eric a home and working on Enzo stuff

[likechampions]

You know, judging by this guy I am going to say you have a type, but I don't care. You found Bill; now have him fix her.

No that does not mean go back to reading the books. You bastard, I am going to kill you as soon as you are of no use to me. In the most exquisite of fashions, you'll beg for death long before it fully arrives.

(She's just staring at him in horror. Sorry, Eric, she has no words.)

[likechampions]

What? [He does not even bother to retract his fangs and there is fire in his eyes.]

[princessofwinterfell]

(And there's a squeak, but she holds her ground. She has encountered all sorts of monsters and not run. She won't run now.)

Your anger won't gain you much ground, I fear.

[likechampions]

[Hm, brave little thing isn't she. Eric steps forward, the Viking turned Vampires leans slowly down till those striking blue eyes are directly on hers.]

My anger will be the least of his worries, it is my grief he should fear.

[Because losing Nora is going to cause momentary insanity, if not permanent as far as Eric is concerned.]

[princessofwinterfell]

(Her courage has been hard-won; she has struggled for it and learned from the lessons the monsters have taught her. Fairy-tales don't exist; reality is harsh. She has to face it - not shy from it.)

Your grief...? (An emotion she understands to her core.) You mentioned...a woman?

(Under her wariness is empathy.)

Have you lost her?

[likechampions]

[He can smell her fear, hear the blood thumping in her veins, he can smell it and Eric is hungry, grieved, angry, so very hungry. This is why he hates feeling things.

He growls, pulls back slightly when she asks, his fangs do not retract.]

You're either naive or just plain stupid, most breathers would run by now. If this meat bag doesn't let me go, yes, she is lost.

[princessofwinterfell]

...breathers? (Does he mean...? Surely not. Sansa brings her arms to her chest and takes a step back, expression troubled.) Then I pray you are released. Everyone should have the right to fight for those they love.

(Something she hadn't been able to do.)

If there is anything I can do to help you in the interim...

[likechampions]

Humans, like you, those who still need oxygen to survive. [Angered as he is, Eric some times forgets that not everyone lives in a place where the Great Revelation has come to pass.

His eyebrows arch, fangs recede slightly. It's Eric who is going wary now, eying her.

There is a gentleness in her steel, there is life in her, warm, beckoning but Eric is old and his control when he exercises it, is unbelievable.]

Why would you want to help me, you're afraid of me.

[rejuvenatingbeta]

Good luck with that. But in my experience we can't hurt our Muns' at all.

[likechampions]

I had to test the validity of your words. [No remorse, definitely not an apology.]

How did you force yours to change things?

[He'll acknowledge that fact now; since violence has failed.]

[rejuvenatingbeta]

I didn't. I've been here almost a year and I still can't do whatever I want.

[likechampions]

You're not turning out as helpful as I thought, good thing you're a good fighter or it would be a complete waste.

[rejuvenatingbeta]

What do you want me to say? Our Mun controls us. We can yell, shout and bug them but they still won't change their minds. I decided to go with it because complaining didn't get me anywhere.

[likechampions]

Did you ever do anything besides complain before you gave up?

[rejuvenatingbeta]

[Crosses his arms over his chest.]

No. But feel free to try whatever you got in mind. Tell me how that goes later.

[likechampions]

I may, I'll pay you if I require your assistance and you'd be willing to offer.

[A business man is surprisingly part of Eric's personality it seems.]

[rejuvenatingbeta]

Sounds good to me.

[likechampions]

Good, I will be in contact; on this as well as the witch issue.

[rejuvenatingbeta]

Sure. Don't look for me, I'll find you.

[likechampions]

[Eric hands a business card.]

I can be reached here.

[rejuvenatingbeta]

[Derek takes the visit card from Eric and glances at it.] Eric it is then? I'm Derek.

[likechampions]

Yes. [The vampire nods.]

I'll will speak to you soon, Derek. [The I will find you if you don't find me is totally implied there and like that Eric is gone. A quick blur of motion all that shows he's moved.]
