"Yes."
That intent look of hers had him on-guard. What was she thinking?
He sighed.
Oh, to be able to read minds again.

"Daniel" her voice was low "there's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"

"Well, I'd think everyone has something they don't talk about." He said, directly meeting her eye.

Isa's smile grew, there it was "How did you do it?"

"Huh?"
Oh, but he was good at one thing above all: playing innocent.
"Don't know what you mean."

Isa leaned forward "You've got nothing left to hide Daniel, you were a vampire, how is it now that you're mortal?"

"Oh, no. You're very wrong if you think you know everything about me." He said, dropping all pretense.
"But this isn't a line of conversation I'm willing to follow. I think I've been fairly forthcoming already, don't you?"
His voice was even, betraying no emotion. He might be human again, but the ability to call up that neutral expression hadn't gone away.

Isa stood up shaking her head "You're going to find Daniel, that mortality isn't quite as forgiving as immortality. That you're little scare tactics, don't work on normal people, and all anyone is going to think, is that you're just a jerk." She headed toward the door and turned back to him with a smile "It was nice talking to you Daniel."

He rolled his eyes.
"It wasn't a scare tactic. I'm just telling you. And don't be so convinced of what I could or could not be."
The jerk comment didn't even register--he'd been called far worse and in more colorful ways. Besides, it wasn't as though he was all that concerned with what most people thought of him (the only opinion he really cared about was Alex's and, though he wouldn't say it, Dorian's).

She simply continued to smile "Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point, I don't know why you'd be lying" she headed around the corner with a little wave "good night."

Yeah, yeah...whatever.
"Goodnight."
Good thing he was out of here tomorrow.

In the morning, a different nurse came in to give Daniel his clothes back and bring his breakfast.

That was just fine by him. He'd gotten rather tired of the tip-toeing and tapdancing conversation with Isa. As soon as he possibly could, Daniel took care of what business he had at the infirmary and left without preamble. He needed to get home and sort things out .
