*Dorian gave him an irritated look.*
"Vampires aren't the only kind of immortal," *he said.* "I'm nearly sixty."

Armand actually looked surprised, or perhaps awed, his lips parting and his eyes going a little round. But it was hard to tell with Armand, of course, whether he actually meant it or if he was playing his amazement up.
"Then what are you?" Don't say angel-

"I'm human," *he said simply.* "Just as I've always been."

"A very well-preserved human."

"Precisely. Extraordinary things happen, you know."

Armand gave Dorian a very doubtful look. The I don't believe you didn't even need to be said.
He really was very curious now. Yes, yes, anything to take his mind off Daniel, but all the same...Armand didn't like puzzles he couldn't solve. He was almost tempted to ask what it would take for Dorian to tell him, but either he wouldn't like the answer or this would prove to be the only thing Dorian took seriously enough not to barter with.

*Dorian shrugged gracefully.*
"I really don't see how it's any of your business. You have your secrets, I have mine."

Armand stood there, eyes lowered. Occasionally his eyes would flash up at Dorian, or his mouth would twist, but he didn't say anything.

"Now, don't look at me like that. I haven't asked your life story, and I expect the same courtesy from you," *he said simply.*

"There's a difference between one's life story and one's deep dark secret, " Armand said primly. "All I'm asking is yours. Is that really so much?"

"I'm sorry, that's just something I simply cannot risk," *he said, beginning to get annoyed.*

Armand glanced outside. The rain still hadn't stopped. Damn. "Mmm, well," he said, turning his back on Dorian to wander slowly back towards his seat, glancing behind him at Dorian, eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "That's a shame. Impasse, I suppose."
