Damon was bored. This was becoming a constant source of consternation for him as the days wore on (or zipped by) here in Rowan. He simply didn't tolerate being bored. The problem was that the sources of entertainment were severely limited. In fact, it was even worse than his good old mortal days. At least, back then, there was always some theatre or sport to take in. Worst came to worst, he could always antagonize his father. But now, here he was, stuck back in the middle ages without anyone to annoy

She looked down for just a second, and when she looked back up he was approaching. She did her very best to appear impassive, tearing off another bit of bread and dunking it in the broth.
"Thanks, but I know how to use a mirror." Min popped the bread into her mouth.
A mirror joke. Too bad she didn't know jack about vampires. Otherwise, it would have been really, very funny. Incorrect (God, he hated that particular vampire myth), but funny. Still, it told Damon plenty. This conversation was not going to start with witty banter, so it would have to start with charm. "I don't blame you," he said, sitting down next to her. "If I had a face like that, I'd never be able to stop looking in the mirror."
Not bad. On his charm scale, he'd give it at least a six and a half. Maybe seven. An eight, if they had been in a dark and smoldering corner in some happening night club with the bass way off balance and the mood steeped in smoke.
God, was he really going to have to wait another several hundred years for nightclubs to appear again?
Despite herself, she smiled at that. A little tic of a smile on one side of her lips. Oh, Gods, Irmingard. Just how dense are you? It dropped away. Mostly.
"You wanted to talk about something?" They could get to the heart of the matter first. Then she'd decide whether she wanted anything to do with him ever again.
