And you know a few of our weaknesses. [He wishes he had a cigarette in this moment.]

The sun thing is pretty well known even to people who don't know vampires actually exist and only know them from fiction, I would say.

[Louis nods slowly.]

Well, I'm full now, so you don't need to worry about me draining you.

Oh! Please don't get the wrong idea: I would absolutely fight you if you tried. But I'd rather not have to?

Don't think you'd win if you did fight. [Eyebrow raise.] But you don't have to tonight.

Probably not, but I could make it troublesome enough to not be worth trying to drain me. It wouldn't be the first time I've fought a vampire, either.

I usually only drink animals or willing participants. I'd only drain you if I was desperate.

Oh, important question, are you the kind of vampire where being drunk from feels good? That affects my response.

[Louis considers the question and if he should answer it.] I've been drugged before by drinking someone with drugs in their system. Almost... had a bad time.

[He walked out into the sun and nearly died.]

That sounds pretty bad. I drink alcohol sometimes, and I've had aphrodisiacs at parties, but most of the time I'm pretty clean?

You're advertising yourself as a clean target. Right in front of me.

You said you usually drink from willing participants. That implies that there must be some reason for someone to agree.

Also, again, if you tried it without asking my permission first, I can be very annoying.

Usually we-- [There's a catch in Louis's breath.]-- I pay them well.

Oh, is that it? That's fine! I like money as much as the next girl.

I didn't come in with any, so it looks like I'll have to do some quests.

That's fair. Well, when you get paid, if the butcher thing doesn't work out, hit me up?

Sounds fair. [He considers for a moment.] I didn't catch your name.

Oh, where are my manners? Evangeline! Pleased to meet you.

[Louis nods.] Louis de Pointe du Lac.

[Ooh, fancy.]

You're new to Ellipsa, right? If you have any questions, I've been here for a while, so I can probably answer some.

Are you usually a night owl?

Not really.

[It's taken her a long time to internalize that she can be outside at night, that it isn't a guaranteed death sentence.]

I stay up pretty late, but I'm usually at home, not out and about. I guess you were lucky tonight?

Guess I was. [A slight nod.] I'll keep my questions to sunset.

Keep in touch! I'm happy to help.

[Louis looks surprised at how the conversation has turned.]

Thank you.
