[thirsted]

Well, now I'm intrigued. Is it a story one can tell in polite company?

Neither am I, as it happens. It seems Gale will be the odd man out. As such, I can arrange for him, if the two of you wouldn't mind taking care of the rest.

[perfectionner]

Are you so uncertain I won't be on my best behavior?

The house has been very accommodating in that regard, but perhaps I can convince the kitchen to make the presentation more appealing.

[thirsted]

I think you and I both know that even your best behavior could charm a statue into blushing.

Only if you wish it. I'd wager Gale wouldn't be particularly put off either way — for better or worse, he's more curious than he is squeamish.

[perfectionner]

Some would consider that merely being French.

Well, I'm happy to answer any questions he may have. I've garnered the impression that the vampires of our world have some unique differences from yours.

[thirsted]

Would they? It seems I've quite a bit more to learn about the Frech.

You know, I think nothing would delight him more. He did once ask me if I wouldn't prefer sleeping in a coffin.

[perfectionner]

For you, mon étoile, I am an open book.

Do you not? Louis and I have, although the beds here are perfectly serviceable now that the sunlight poses no risk.

[thirsted]

Ah, is the sun the thing? I wondered why you preferred such accommodations.
That is to say, no, I've never considered a coffin as an option.

[perfectionner]

In most cases, but not here.

It makes it less likely for us to be inconveniently disturbed during our slumber.

[thirsted]

I see the utility. Though I suppose it's a prerequisite not to be claustrophobic. You don't get cramped?

[perfectionner]

Well, air is never really a requirement. Nor are we prone to muscle cramps or stiffness, unless it's been some time since feeding.

[thirsted]

We really do have quite a bit to discuss over dinner, don't we?

I'll text you to sort out the details. Something to look forward to, for all of us.
