...It doesn't matter. My answer is no. I have too much to make up for at home; and you saw how well things went the first time I ran away. I'm not running anymore.
I'm not so certain all those other vampires you know of would welcome me and mine. After what happened to Merrick, I've no desire to quarrel with strangers or to use my new gifts to fight off even newer enemies. I will, if you push me, but I would rather not. Then there is Quinn and Mona to consider, the youngest of us should not be without guidance ...
There are so many Blood Drinkers these days, I confess that I can hardly keep up with their swelling numbers. They would think me a liar if I revealed my identity or perhaps know nothing of us at all, beyond Lestat's name.
The latter is preferable.

I understand that I've been jumping around in your mind for a while and the others are excited to have me, but.. Everyone is there. Including V--... V-- Him! You know who I'm talking about and I'm not saying h-his name!
James, Lily, Remus and Sirius... They're all there! How am I supposed to face them? No, I won't be able to. The Order meetings are hard enough, and I've been trying to avoid them, but.. This is pushing it too far. I'm going to get mixed up into things again and I don't want that to happen! This is going to be trouble and you know it! Don't make me go there..

There will be other chances... What about that place you wanted to send me to? Ah- I don't mean to bug you anything... just suggesting something for you to work on. Maybe.
