Bill had just risen from the little hole in his dilapidated antebellum home when he smelled a familiar smell. He brushed the dust off of his clothing, taking quick steps until he found the source of what he had sensed. Eric.
“It keeps me alive.” He stated, matter-of-factly. Though Eric was someone Bill knew and Bill had no real reason to believe that he was out to kill him, Bill’s defenses were up. It wasn’t as if the two of them were buddies. “I’m sure it’s nothing compared to what you get by way of the patrons at your nightclub.”
“What brings you to Bon Temps, if I might ask?” His head tilted curiously. Bill was hoping that Eric had come to ask a favor of him and not Sookie, but the chances of that were slim to none.
Normally Eric wouldn't be caught dead (no pun intended) with another vampire at his back, but he knew Bill was no threat. Not if he knew what was good for him, at least.
"If you would just give up this ridiculous attempt of immigrating into the human world, you could have everything I have." He paused momentarily before adding as an afterthought, "Well, almost everything."
"To business then," he said, placing the bottle on the counter and finally turning to face Bill. "I need Sookie Stackhouse."
Bill had a million responses that would only instigate something bad with his superior, so he kept it short and sweet. “It is my choice to mainstream.” He gave a nod and moved on to more important things.
Bill didn’t like that he had inadvertently mixed Sookie into this world. Had she let him die by draining she would still simply be a waitress with a gift (or a disability, as she’d called it before) living a normal life in Bon Temps. In short, it was his fault and there would be no arguing otherwise.
“May I ask what the nature of this business is?” He asked very politely.
[ooc: sorry it took so long to get back to you. things have been a little crazy]
Normally Eric didn't like explaining himself, but just this once he would. If only because he really needed Sookie's help. Even if he wouldn't completely admit it, especially to Bill.
"As you may or may not know, The Slayer is in Louisiana. I requested a meeting with her, because I have a proposition that I'm sure she won't want to refuse."
He picked up the bottle and took another drink, making a face as he swallowed. "I want Sookie to use her...power, to make sure The Slayer isn't planning on stabbing me in the back. Or the front."
