✾ ii - voice

Blood from a bloodpack tastes so foul. I don't suppose anyone would be willing to... donate, some of their own?

I promise, I'll be quite gentle.

[ Think that message was weird? Here's something even weirder: There is zero background noise in this message. No static, no voices, no wind. Nothing. Begging the question of where he is. ]

[And there goes disapproval.]

Biting isn't acceptable. There are far too many risks with that kind of contact. With blood drinking at all, but I'm willing to accept that you might be some kind of sanguivore by necessity.

If it's the possibility of infection you're worried about, I assure you, we vampires are very clean.

[ Does that answer your question? ]

That's one legend I didn't expect to be real.

[There's a little self deprecating humor in his tone, but he's back to serious in a flash.]

Still, there has to be a more sanitary method than biting, even if vampires are as clean as you say.

Sanitary, sure. Satisfying? No, there isn't.

Selfish of you.

[Nope, not pleased, but he can't really do much to stop it if someone is stupid enough to risk themselves.]

I think I've more than earned the right to be selfish by now.

I don't think anything earns anyone the right to be selfish.

[ A smirk. An audible smirk. ]

Perhaps you should read my books.

[And a hint of a growl in return.]

I might; but I doubt that will change my opinion. You'll have to tell me your name if you want me to read anything of yours though.

[ Ahh, the question he was just waiting for. He was starting to think he'd never ask. ]

I am Lestat de Lioncourt.

[ Yes. That Lestat. And the fact that people from other worlds have heard of him was a huge boost to his already colossal ego. ]

I'll look you up.

[Said dryly, with no hint of recognition. Isaac was sheltered and never very interested in vampire stories anyway.]

[ Not quite the reaction he was looking for, but he'll take it. ]

I'm sure you will.

[Isaac isn't getting anywhere, so he just sighs. This is a bad thing, but if people want to risk it, he really can't force them away from bad decisions.]

That's it, then.

[And there he ends things.]
