Haven't you figured out by now how to order while the stores are closed and have them deliver?

Unfortunately, some of my deliveries require a signature. Both at home and here.

I try to keep humans around to accept them. But I've been at a disadvantage here, frankly.

Your winning smile hasn't earned you a personal Renfield? I'm shocked.

My glamour doesn't function as well here.

It's a new...and difficult challenge, to gain their trust honestly.

In all of these years as a vampire, you've never tried? Not even with your kind standing in the open?

Once.

No. Twice.

How well did that work out for you?

The first one. She was a housewife in England. The 1840s. In her middle age, married, but with a busy husband who ignored her utterly. No children. She was very lonely.

It worked out well.

The second is Miss Stackhouse. And she is...Miss Stackhouse.

Enlightening. I've always found unnecessary use of persuasion to be an ultimately dangerous habit. You should take advantage of this opportunity to brush up on your people skills.

An ultimately dangerous habit? Why? Seriously?

And I have people skills. I would simply choose no to use them with human people unless there is a greater need to. Not when a glamour is easier.

It attracts attention, and on occasion you find yourself confronted with those who are resistant to its effects.

As you may have noticed, I like attention.

The kind that brings a mob to your door with stakes and torches?

They haven't been of great concern to me for some time now. I would offer you the reason, but I worry someone with your beliefs may use it as a reason to no longer take me seriously. For whatever that's worth.

My beliefs?

You have a particular way of being serious-minded about what you are.
