Armand smiled. It was not a nice smile.
"I don't care." he said. "If you wait any longer then you will be a little dead. Tell me now."
There was still dried blood on Dorian's neck, staining the collar of his shirt. Absently, Armand licked his lips, one hand rising to rub off any blood on his own mouth. His auburn hair was mussed. And he was still hungry.

"Very well," *he said smoothly, as if he was in the position of power.*
"What do you want to know? Where to find him? How I met him? How he is in bed?"

Another smile, this one stretched a little thin- if one had to guess, it was probably the last question that did it.
"You can overlook the last one," he said. "As i already know. But as for everything else- "

*Dorian raised an eyebrow, amused.*
"Ah. Well, I helped him out of a spot of trouble- He'd taken a liking to another, stronger immortal's girlfriend. Not a very smart move on his part, I must say. I was intrigued as to why someone who'd just been thrown out of a second story window wasn't dead, so I scraped him up off the pavement, and took him home."

Armand didn't say anything at first, just processed the story. That had been a stupid move on Daniel's part...but that stupidity wasn't entirely unexpected. It sounded like something Daniel would do.
"What else?" he demanded, his eyes focused solely on Dorian.

"Well, he spoke about you, for one, if you're who I suspect."

Armand was quiet for a long, long time. For some strange reason...he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know what Daniel had said about him.
"Do you know how to find him?" he asked finally.

"I don't think he'd be very keen on your knowing his location," *Dorian said, an innocent look on his boyish face.*

"That's not an answer. That's an evasion. Do you know where to find him or not?"

"Of course I know where to find him," *he said condescendingly.*

"Then take me to him."

"Now, that doesn't seem fair. What's in it for me if I do?"

Armand gave Dorian the long, slightly exasperated look one usually save for the criminally slow. "What do you think?" he asked, pushing a hand through his hair irritably. "Your life, for one. I can't think of a more fitting incentive than that."
Selfish mortal.

"Ah, well, when you put it like that..."
*He knew that he was betraying Daniel's trust in telling this vampire about him, and he knew that he would never forgive him. Ah well. It wasn't as if it was his problem.*
"He's staying in an inn, not far from here- Le Rouge et L'epine, room __"
((Because we don't bother with room numbers in the 'verse.))

Armand wasn't given to thanking people. That wasn't what made him hesitate now, instead of leaving immediately for the inn.
"Tell me," he said softly. "What does Daniel say about me?"
