❝ now you're just speaking nonsense, madame president, ❞ vikas replied, sighing with exasperation. in one hand, he held a tea cup filled with warm blood and a small chocolate chip cookie on the cup's plate. he knew em's habits and the ways she preferred to consume blood --- all quirks of the oldest living vampire alive right now. he hoped it would make her feel more at ease in his company and to lift whatever cloud had settled over her.
❝ if you think i can just leave, you know nothing of my legendary stubbornness, ❞ he added, sitting down next to her, carefully gauging his actions so he needn't upset her anymore and risk invoking her wrath. ❝ i care and there are many vampires that would agree with me. how many centuries have i known you? since i was but a fledgling myself --- in all of those centuries, would you truly believe i did not care for you? ❞
