[vampingitup]

Good evening, Siren's Port.

[Eric appears on video, his phone on a table in the apartments, his hands folded in front of him, looking for all the world as though he's addressing something far more official.I've already taken account of where I am, and why, so there will be no need for repeated explanations. Your SERO kept me long enough as it is,

Right, because I'm sure we're all eager to disclose information about ourselves to someone with ambiguous intentions.

[vampingitup]

Now, I don't remember asking you to disclose any personal details, although in your case I can't say I'd mind.

Well, you can add Wizard to your list of paranormal greatest hits. My name is Elaine, but 'for reasons I'd rather not disclose at this moment,' that's all you're getting.

[she never looks quite directly at the camera, either, as if she is trying to avoid eye contact. which she is]

[Clever girl. He smiles.]

I didn't realise wizards came in heels.

[she laughs wryly]

Sexist much? Where I come from witch, warlock, or wizard isn't so much a matter of gender as skill level and how you use what you've got.

I would be surprised if many people shared your definition. Besides, I never claimed that I wasn't sexist. I may just be to spite you.

Let me guess--you're pathologically chivalrous too?

[vampingitup]

I am quite old. Even for a vampire.

[wickedclever]

Am I supposed to be impressed by your obviously extensive experience?

video;

[vampingitup]

Oh, no. Merely understand that the century I was born in governs my world view. We Vikings weren't really known for being genteel.

Men are all the same, no matter what century. Give them an inch and they go completely paleolithic on you.

Just for the record, I prefer being thrown over the shoulder rather than dragged by the hair.

[vampingitup]

I've never met a woman that liked being dragged by the hair. Unless she was already dead, in which case it mattered considerably less.

I assure you, violence in my company is strictly consensual. [Unless you're trying to kill him, or it's part of some act.]

[wickedclever]

Yeah, well, I'm not a fan of having my mind rolled under a compulsion either. So it better be.

[vampingitup]

Compulsion ruins spirited women. I wouldn't dream of it.

[wickedclever]

That's assuming I'll ever be in your company in the first place.

How do you know you wouldn't enjoy it?
