Right then.
Most would be a little wary about being vampire bait in a bar. But Damon figured that if anything would snap her out of her delusions, its the big elephant in the room named mortality. That would wake anyone up, quick fast and in a hurry. And Damon could tell somewhat by her tone that she was at least a little cautious. Good. Its the first sign of realizing you're eatable. Damon wasn't worried of course, he was confident the scene was a no-kill zone.
...at least during normal business hours.
"I get it -- I am certifiable. I should be accessorizing a straight jacket as we speak. You're beginning to sound like a broken record, Salvatore,"
Damon smirked and shrugged ambivalently, picking up his glass from the top and swirling its contents around a bit. "No, Meredith, you haven't got it because if you did, you would be cured. Maybe I should speak slower and with fewer syllables." He smiled pleasantly at her, joking still - of course, before taking a good swallow of his drink. Damn, he needed that. It tasted better than it normally would have if he wasn't being chased by his dead father. Usually that puts an extra kick into any drink.
"You're still sore about that huh? Me taking your blood. Never mind the fact that you do it to countless people on a regular basis. I take yours once and you are forever whining about it...literally."
"Actually, I'm over it. Very much so. In fact, I'm so over it, I'm not even interested in whether you'll lose your license or not anymore. That always kept me in suspense." He took another quick swallow of his drink. "But you know who is interested?" Pausing slightly, he raised his brow as if she would answer but it was clearly a rhetorical question. "Our mutual friend." And it would suck if another one of his girlfriends ended up a train wreck.
"Maybe you're onto something, maybe I am suffering the side effects of a guilt complex gone mad. I don't think it's fair by the way, if that's the case. It's not like I am a horrible human being. I just try to help. Keep the balance and all that."
"Oh I know you do. You're the good Samaritan. All honorable with your necessary risks. Balancing the vampire epidemic by accidentally making more vampires. Where's your Peace Prize?" The over dramatic sarcasm probably didn't go unnoticed. "But when you get caught - and you will - I have a feeling your friendly neighborhood vampires aren't going to see it your way. And the more people are involved in that bloody mess, the more you'll actually have something to feel guilty about." He said this plainly, as if it was no big deal. And it wasn't. Just the plain old boring truth - take it or leave it.
"Besides, you'd know if I were still pissed about it....unless you made a blood donation of your own and for some strange reason just don't remember. Tit for tat and all." He glanced over at her again suggestively, clearly implying something.
