"He has a castle in France? That narrows it down. Can you describe him, in case Mel here remembers who attacked her?"

"Wait, stop, rewind."
*Maria jumped down from the counter.*
"Now, sir, I don't want to sound disrespectful, or whatever, but I do kind of know Aurel. He's a vampire sure, but he's kinda one of the good guys. As in, he doesn't go around randomly raping folk or killing innocents by the dozen."
*Maria looked up to Hawkes.*
"And if he did kill your father, there are only two reasons I can think of for Aurel to do so, one he was food, in which case I find it unlikely that you would know that it was Aurel and you would know he was a vampire. And reason number two, well...."
*Maria crossed her arms in front of her chest.*
"It would mean that your dad was either a vampire or some other monster who would be dangerous to Aurel and/or his household. Which leaves me to wonder, who the hell you are."
((Don't mind Maria, she's a bit jumpy because of all the caffeine and lack of sleep. Poor thing.))

*Buffy felt mental whiplash from Maria's speech. She groaned inwardly. More kind-of-good vampires? What was her job, then?*

((Haha, I don't mind at all!))
*Hawkes blushed slightly as he growled:*
"What do you mean, one of the 'good guys'?! He killed my father without a reason! I was there! He was cruel as hell!"
He crossed his arms and glared at Maria.*
"There are no such things as good vampires."

"Um, actually that's not true," *Buffy piped up. Then rolled her eyes.* "I mean, I'm the last person to say they're good-good, but some are less, you know, evil. And it's totally my job to kill them, don't get me wrong. But if they don't eat people, I have a hard time with the morality of it all."
*She paused.*
"Not that killing your dad is a good thing, obviously."

*Hawkes stared at the girls in front of him.*
"Huh. If that's the case, you're no use to me." *he said as he noticed the coffee Maria had made and some bread at a table. He went there and helped himself.*
"But what are the slayer and monster-hunter doing at the same place? Are there many vampires and other creatures around here?"

*Maria raised a single eyebrow as she watched Hawkes closely, there was something about him.*
"Yeah, it's like Paris is a big monster magnet. Vampires, ghosts, sea creatures, damned pirates and werewolves."
"You never did tell us who you are."

*Hawkes started to cough as Maria said the word werewolf.*
"I'm no one in particular. I'm just Jake Hawkes." *he said as he cleansed his throat and stared down the coffeecup*
"But I am looking for a job though... Need a partner?" *he grinned at Maria.*

*Buffy liked the simple way he said "I'm just Jake Hawkes," which despite the wording made it sound like she should know him. But this place was strange, and his goals unclear, and she really didn't want to team up with anyone.
Spike didn't count, she told herself firmly.*
"A job?" *she said.* "You guys get paid for this? Damn, and all I got was this crappy birthright."

*A bat flys in and drops a note on the floor.*
My Dear Girls,
Do you really believe you can bring Dracula down on your own? His friends and strength far out numbers anything you have.
Meet me, I have far more information and resources than you can ever imagine.
Raoul's estate Midnight.
G

*Buffy picked up the note.*
"Um, who's Raoul?" *she asked the room at large.*

*Maria rolled her eyes.*
"He's the manslut of the opera. Or he was. Last time I checked he found Jesus. But what does the note say?"
*Maria looked over Buffy's shoulder and her eyes grew big.*
"G, that must be Georgiana. She's one of Dracula's brides. Or she was, I mean if she's serious about this and this isn't a trap. But Dracula isn't the sort of man to set these kind of traps."
*Maria smiled.*
"This can be very interesting. I am going."

*Jake didn't say anything. This was something he didn't know anything about. But he sure got curious.*
Maybe I'll go too...

"So she's a vampire?"
*Buffy shrugged.*
"I'll go. If she's evil or whatever, and it's a trap, we'll just slay her, right?"
