Well, I trust your excellent judgement with this matter as with all others. If you say this man is of good quality, I'm helpless but to agree.

I have to admit I'm quite touched - I don't know if perhaps it's well known that vampires crave the view of the sun almost as much as we fear it, or if the inclination to try to recreate its light artificially was just quick thinking outside the box, but you and your new friend have certainly gone the extra mile with this. I'm flattered. This somehow feels like more than my little act of heroism deserves. Perhaps we'll be forever locked in a back and forth of paying one another back, my darling.

But yes, of course I'm amenable. Anything for you.

I appreciate his drive to do a job right, rather than just doing what he's asked. It should be an interesting challenge.

...

You should be careful, saying things like that to me. "Anything for you", I might start to think you're serious.

[perfectdevil]

And why wouldn't you think I'm serious? Tell me, has anything I've ever said to you come off as a joke?

[badfeyth]

I've told you enough of my own. You're overdue to tell me a few in return.

People don't say things like that to me when they're not joking.

[perfectdevil]

Oh, make no mistake, one day I'll offer you a joke so uproarious that you won't be able to stand for laughing so hard. You can be sure of that.

But I will never joke about anything like this, my darling. You and I both know I can't be put into the same category as 'people', particularly in this instance. I'll say it again. Anything for you.
