Oh yeah, once they'd wanted to shuttle her off to juvenile hall. Unfortunately the benefit of that as a threat, to shape up or else, constituted a nice big announcement of that plan. It was better on the street than with an institution hanging over her head. Not even one like this one, must be a French thing.
"How did you know about this place, anyway? They didn't keep you in this nuthouse, for the likes of us it'd be nice and cozy after a night or two."

Daniel laughed.
"Oh, from history books. I'd read about and when I heard it was still here--sort of--I wanted to see it."

"I figured you couldn't look that old. I know a lot about old guys."
She picked up a particularly gnarly-looking apparatus about the size of a fist.
"Yuck."

"I'm not. As far as others like us are concerned, we're still children. Of course, no human could ever think we are."
He blinked at what she'd picked up for a moment.
"I'm not familiar with that one."

"Compared to you I'm a little baby."
She turned the crank on it and some unpleasant-looking portions opened up.
"Huh."

"Older ones would be condenscending, yes. For a little while, at least. Eventually they'd stop once they'd gotten over their surprise."
Okay, even in all his readings, there some things he still didn't know.
"I can't even guess at it's purpose."

"I don't really give a fuck," she said nonchalantly, setting the thing down and wiping her hand on her jeans, and then her mouth on her hand. "All of them got old and rotten and now we're the new breed. We're faster and we're smarter too, we don't go running around rolled up in red velvet."

Daniel blinked at her.
"You have a weird view of what a vampire is."

"Why don't you tell me what a vampire is?" She dragged the word out into a mocking drawl. No point in sugaring the whole idea. They were Dead, nothing fancy or French about it.

"Older is more powerful. The older you get, the stronger, the more impossible to defeat." He said.
"And not everyone is like Lestat, thankfully. I don't think I could stand it if it were otherwise."

"I've been doing pretty well for myself, haven't I? I skipped out on that concert and didn't get fried."

"You definitely avoided the worst of it."
He was there for the end, though he'd mostly been a spectator rather than a participant. He'd also been a lot different even in those days.
Ages ago.
"But think, you have more strength and perhaps a new power to look forward to as you get older."

"And less competition. I just need somebody new to run with, quick, before I start to miss 'em."

"Oh? Like who?"
Well, of course he was being coy. He wasn't always blatant about what he wanted.

"Well, you, dumbass!"
She giggled.
