Yeah, you tell yourself that
"You shouldn't have come," Evra muttered. "It was stupid." He paused. "But thanks anyway," he added. "Would you have left me?" I asked. "Yes," he said, but I knew he was lying.

so many gems in this interaction
“You don’t care, do you?” I whined. “Evra’s down here somewhere, being tormented or cooked, and all you’re worried about are your tired old legs.”
“They are old,” Mr. Crepsley growled, “and they are tired, and so, I am sure, are yours. Sit down and stop acting like a child.”
-Tunnels of Blood, Chapter 20
I snarled hatefully at the vampire and stepped in front of him. "Give me that flashlight," I said, trying to rip it out of his hands. I'd dropped mine earlier and broken it. "I'll go on ahead by myself. You sit here and rest. I'll find Evra on my own." "Stop it," Mr. Crepsley said, pushing me away. "You are behaving intolerably. Calm down and -” I gave a ferocious tug and the flashlight flew out of Mr. Crepsley's hands. It also spun out of mine, and shattered to pieces against the tunnel wall. We were thrust into complete darkness. "You idiot!" Mr. Crepsley roared.
LMAO perhaps the funniest scene so far

Squints At The Vampaneze Lord
"Also," he added, "the vampaneze have their noble points. They are loyal and brave. And they never break their word - when a vampaneze makes a promise, he sticks by it. If a vampaneze lies and his kinsmen find out, they will execute him, no questions asked. They have their faults, and I have no personal liking for them, but evil?" He sighed. "That is hard to say."

You wanna kiss him already???
"Well?" Debbie said, as I stood up. "Don't I get a good-night kiss?" I thought I was going to collapse. "I... um... I mean... that is..." I became a stuttering wreck. "Don't you want to kiss me?" Debbie asked.
-Tunnels of Blood, Chapter 8
Kids Are Assholes
I thought about Mr. Crepsley and what he might like. I wasn't going to buy him anything - he'd only turn up his nose at presents - but it was interesting to consider what I could buy him. What was there that a vampire could possibly be interested in? I started to smile. "I know," I said. "I'll get him a sun lamp."

Evra....
"Calm down," Evra said eventually. "You look great. I'm half tempted to go out with you myself." "Shut up, stupid," I shot back, but couldn't help grinning

Burn Victim Reported!
"I'm not just a pretty face," I said jokingly. "Not even a pretty face!" She laughed.

Ever heard of “Stranger Danger”?
“Darren and Debbie.” She smiled. “That sounds good, like Bonnie and Clyde.” “Do you always talk to strangers like this?” I asked.
- Tunnels of Blood, Chapter 5
"Okay," I said, then pushed the door open and held it for her. "Why, Darren," she said with a laugh, "people will think you have a crush on me."
????????

"The people at the hotel definitely do." I giggled. "I've heard the bellboys and maids talking about us - they think Mr. Crepsley is a mad doctor and we're two of his patients." "Yeah?" Evra laughed. "Imagine if they knew the truth - that you're a couple of vampires and I'm a snake-boy!" "I don't think it would matter," I said. Mr. Crepsley tips well, and that's the important thing. 'Money buys privacy, as I heard one of the managers say when a maid was complaining about a guy who'd been walking around naked in the corridors."

Wholesome Domesticity
"I never realized TV could be so addictive," he said one night, after we'd watched five shows in a row. "My mom and dad never let me watch too much," I told him, "but I knew guys in school who watched five or six hours of it every night of the week!" "I wouldn't take it that far," Evra mused, "but it's fun in small doses. Maybe I'll buy a portable TV when we get back to the Cirque Du Freak."
- Darren Shan, Tunnels of Blood
Evra is so responsible 🥺
also i wonder if steve was the type of kid that watched “five or six hours” of TV every night 💀
Mr. Crepsley The Bully
"Evra would be good company for you. And he is wiser: he could keep you out of mischief when I am not around." "I don't need a baby-sitter!" I huffed. "No," Mr. Crepsley agreed, "but a guardian would not go amiss. You have a habit of getting into trouble when left to your own devices. Remember when you stole Madam Octa? And the mess we had with that human boy, Sam whatever his name was?" "That wasn't my fault!" I yelled. "Indeed not," Mr. Crepsley said. "But it happened when you were by yourself." I made a face but didn't say anything. "Will I ask him or not?" Mr. Crepsley pressed the issue. " I'll ask him," I said. "You'd probably bully him into going."

Ominously
"How long will we be away?" I asked unhappily. "Days. Weeks. Months. I cannot say for sure." "What if I refuse to come?" He studied me ominously. "An assistant who does not obey orders has no purpose," he said quietly. "If I cannot rely on your cooperation, I will have to take steps to remove you from my employ." "You mean you'd fire me?" I smiled bitterly.

-Darren and Mr Crepsley arguing “talking” after Gavner left.
Yeah.....
"A hundred years old!" I whistled softly. "That's nothing for a vampire," Gavner said. "I was barely nineteen when first blooded and only twenty-two when I became a full vampire. I could live to be a good five hundred years old, the gods of the vampires permitting." "Five hundred!" I couldn't imagine being so old.
-Darren Shan, Tunnels of Blood
dont worry darren, you wont even come close.
Soft Old Vampires
He (Gavner) nudged me in the ribs. "Does he still complain like a grumpy old woman when he wakes up?" he asked.
"Yes," I giggled.
"I could never get a positive word out of him until midnight. I had to share a coffin with him once for four whole months." He shivered at the memory. "Longest four months of my life."
"You shared a coffin?" I asked in awe.
"Had to," he said. "We were being hunted. We had to stick together. I wouldn't do it again, though. I'd rather face the sun and burn."
"You were not the only one with cause for complaint." Mr. Crepsley grunted. "Your snoring nearly drove me to face the sun myself." His lips were twitching, and I could tell he was having a hard time not smiling.
Sassy Larten (ft. Gavner’s intro)
"Pleased to meet you," the vampire said, shaking my hand. "You didn't hear me coming, did you?"
"No," I answered honestly.
"There!" he boomed proudly. "See?"
"Congratulations," Mr. Crepsley said dryly. "If you are ever called upon to sneak into a nursery, you should have no problems."
why did he do him like that omf
