Re: Damon.
Money always talks, although a little den of sin isn't beyond my abilities. The legality in the state of Washington may be an issue. The Salvatore's are upstanding businessmen. I have to keep that beyond question, which brings me back to the first point. Money talks.
True, but they do eventually. You have to change somewhat as a vampire. All those things, like thoughts on life suddenly don't apply. Those who can't quite make the transition, or end up on a power rush find themselves missing a heart pretty quickly. The older vampires won't tolerate it. If you can set yourself up in the first century, you are finally at a point that you can relax and take all those things in.
